What's the deal with BONES and their bizarrely good typography?
Seriously, it's fucking nice

The choice of using orange for the LFO UIs in Eureka Seven always intrigued me, also the cassette thing they did with the commercial breaks was cool.

Yeah, that's very hnng.
>>15506659
How is this series, btw? Is it any good?
>>15509541
Just binged the first four episodes and knew the minimum about Astro Boy going in. It's kinda boring, but piston punches make my dick rock hard so I still enjoyed it. I bet it's gonna get better though, it seems like we're still in world/character building stages
This is your keyboarder for tonight.

I only do freeform jazzposting.
This is your co-pilot for tonight.
Let's talk Kekko Kamen. Why is she so splendid?
>>15502065
Because justice bares it all. Also fuck the PTA
How does this compare to Cutie Honey in terms of quality? (And fanservice?)
>>15502710
Kekko Kamen, of course in terms of fanservice, has her bare/naked body (sans hands, feet and head) all the time
Saying that Rustal wanted reforms all along is giving him too much credit, but he didn't simply just save his face.
Rustal is brutal, ruthless and realistic. Which doesn't really make him that different from Orga and Mika (down to being merciless to giving up opponents). But most importantly, he is a pragmatic with a single goal - ensuring that Gjallarhorn works and keeps order.
McGillis claimed he wished reforms, but he was an untrustworthy traitor to his own friends. He was a threat that proved how dangerous and mad he was. After his coup, Gjallarhorn couldn't function anymore in its old way.
>3 of 7 families were dead
>anybody with implants could pilot Bael
>shitness of Gjallarhorn was just asking for another McGillis to pop up
>Mars was just producing more Human Debris and threats like Tekkadan
After Rustal's victory, there were only three options left:
>do nothing and let chaos happen
>take over and prove McGillis right
>actually fix things
And Rustal never showed to desire more than he already had. So, he proved to be efficient leader in time of crisis (even if he secretly shat on Gjallarhorn's rules that Tekkadan never cared about in the first place), used his popularity to become democratic leader, set up his trusted aide as his successor and fixed obvious problems in the setting.
Why not? He got respect, prestige, place in history and cozy perspectives on future retirement. It just made sense to do things this way.
Sure, because of him a lot of Tekkadan died. It sucks, but that's the life. You shouldn't blindly participate in schemes of a seemingly composed manchild for a promise of becoming king of a planet
>tl;dr
Rustal wasn't good or evil, just with a common sense.
>>15500302
again team meat with the win
He's a Machiavellian. I don't know why this is hard for people.
>Goal
Achieve peace in space
>step 1
Kill obvious threats to order with overwhelming power of dainsleifs.
>Step 2
Throw the general population a few olive branches to ensure loyalty and protect order, and prevent future threats
>Step 3
Retire in peace
>>15500302
After McGillis died, he probably could have bribed Tekkadan off Mars for a pittance compared to what he lost in matériel and lives fighting them.
If he wanted a big Fake News spectacle, that would have been easier to control than what he had planned.
Well, this was fucking awful.
>>15511011

I agree OP, but there are several other threads already up on this

Incorrect opinion. Maybe if you looked up from your phone and paid attention you'd have gotten more out of it.
Instead of colonies around the earth. they built a dyson sphere around the entire solar system. placed between earth and mars.
people live in giant dome cities on the inner surface of the sphere. transportation is by mag lev trains on the sphere surface.
>>15510456
>they built a dyson sphere around the entire solar system
>placed between earth and mars.
I'm not quite sure I get you here. Is the sphere encompassing everything up to Neptune/Pluto, or did they catch/create a star, put it in a Dyson Sphere, and then plonk the new planetoid into orbit in-between Earth and Mars?
>>15510456
>around the entire solar system. placed between earth and mars.

This is so stupid that I think Char wrote it.
>makes it to ep 43
>starts off with a major coup OFFSCREEN
>forces sappy sad moments with the char clone
>said flashbacks are just a bunch of poorly drawn and animated panning shots
>half of the episode is pure filler
Destiny, Age, and G-Reco undeniably had serious problems, that said there is no way to rationalize this failure of an anime (not gundam, not mecha, but anime) as being decent.
>>15510192
People see the drawn mecha and drool automatically since it's not CG. I really don't like the forced neoliberal elements (Muslims forced into it for no reason to make it political among other things), so that's the big deal breaker for me.
>>15510197
It's shots like these that makes me welcome CGI
>>15510192
I agree with this up to the point you try to frame it as a chance to call Destiny better. Your agenda is plainly visible.
>it's been 7 years since the last super robot anime
How do you cope with the entire subgenre being dead?
Gyrozetter was 2013 though
>>15509889
Cars exist, therefore it's a real robot show
>>15509875
It's not the last, just the last notable one.
So here's a question I've been wondering, what was the state of individual nations in the Earth Federation in the time before and after the One Year War? Were some nations richer than others? Were any undergoing civil wars? insurrection? Were there huge divides between individual superpowers to small despot nations, or was everyone truly united?
Africa was still a shithole with and Islamic desert terrorists last long past Zeon funnily enough.
>>15509404
I wonder how were they able to unite all nations in the world in less than 10 years after the Cold War
>>15509411
iirc wasn't there a part in the Unicorn novel (or in another novel) that said a group of Zeeks were slaughtered because they didn't knew about the different branches of Islam?
>>15509418
>less than 10 years after the Cold War
They never mention how long after real life UC is set in in any show
need help finding a series.. it was announced to be produced around summer last year and its based on some manga and i remember u all were excited cause the mc apparently builds a bunch of his own mecha. like makes his own mecha harem.. it had me excited .. i dont think it was gunvolt but for some reason ikeep thinking its gunvolt
>>15509285
The guy in your picture looks like Axel from Megaman haha
Well it can't be Gunvolt, because your description doesn't sound anything like Gunvolt.
Maybe you have that train of thought because the two had similar aesthetics. Did the mecha in this mystery series have stylish black and grey armor with specific color highlights?
>>15509335
I can't remember.. I do remember the mc being a relatively whimpy looking kid but very serious looking.. I can't remember the Mecha too much
Grungusts need love.
Say your favorite things about Grungusts.
He's a pretty tough guy, and doesn't take damage from nobody.
I love the original Grungust the most. In OG2 they moved on from the Type 2, but everyone who uses the Type 3 ends up losing it in some form or another, while Irm is still there kicking ass in the original.

>Though a funny tidbit from the interview is that apparently Nagai and Ogawa both think Kudelia will not last long in office and that she's got too much dirt on her, especially in relation to Nobliss murder and how things will come out about him and her connection with him. Nagai said he thinks she would be ousted.
He also said the human debris treaty wouldn't actually do much to stop human debris, since most people who partake in it don't follow what's legal anyway.
Why do the people in charge keep talking if they're making IBO a wreck even more post-series? What is the point of the "happy ending" if you then admit that a treaty is an empty gesture and wouldn't do much to stop human trafficking? What is the point of showing Kudelia as chairwoman if you believe she's too corrupt of a politican and that she would eventually be ousted soon after the epilogue?
Also, mfw Akatsuki has to deal with one of his moms being in the middle of a political scandal
Do what the creators won't and just let IBO discussion die already
>>15508848
There's a lot to play with in the hands of competent writers, even where the show left off. Unfortunately there are no competent writers or directors working on the series, so it's pointless.
>>15508845
Oh my goshpodo just make a new series already. They desperately want to play spoil sport.
The ultimate flamethrowing killer of Demonbane and Getter Emporer is back.
I won't be posting the rest for a while, but just soak this in for now.
What's Nupalm

It actually looks pretty cool. I'm impressed.
>For 99% of the population, this is the only thing they think of when you ask them what "mecha" is
Why are we such a tortured people, /m/?
>>15508599
But that movie was great, what are you talking about?
Only butthurt geewunners hate it.
The much-maligned 'general audience' can't and/or is not expected to understand heady topics like politics, science, and philosophy. Take those elements out of Mecha and all you are left with is dumb, contextless robot fighting. Why people are fighting in robots is what makes the robot fights interesting.
At least they aren't fake mecha fans
