So I finished this a while ago.
Can we talk about this heaping pile of garbage?
It started off quite nicely, but it quickly became apparent it's not concerned with telling an interesting story or writing compelling characters and the only thing the writer cared about was piling on more and more cryptic babble without no rhyme or reason to it. The character motivations make zero sense, the villain motivations make even less.
There was a very brief period where the show regained its luster from the beginning: Asahina's arc and identity crisis. That was great.
It also made what followed significantly worse in comparison.
As far as "eva clones" I've watched go, this was by far the worst. I can only hope Argento Soma isn't as disappointing.

>I can only hope Argento Soma isn't as disappointing.

Ahahahaha, I hope you like brooding inner monologues, constant flashbacks and completely aimless plot direction!

BTW, what Eva clones have you seen that were better than Rah? I agree on all the complaints you listed and it STILL manages to suck less than Brain Powerd, as one example.
>>
>>15449942
I found Brain Powerd far more enjoyable than Rahxephon, personally.
Also, Fafner, which I found better than NGE itself.
But then again, it's not like the "Eva clone" genre is particularly saturated, despite the idea some people have about every second mecha show being an eva knockoff.

There's what, Rahxephon, Brain Powerd, Argento Soma, Fafner, and then there's Dual if you include that. Am I missing anything?

I remember someone explained in a previous thread. There was some book about dolphins published in Japan in the early 90s with the stuff in those episodes. It became fairly popular, but of course, even at the time it was actually rather questionable and by now it clearly was very wrong about a lot of stuff.
>>
>>15443872
To demonstrate that newtypes weren't anything like some destined space-adapted evolution like Zeon and the SRA love to preach. If even a dolphin, who spent its entire life on Earth, could develop newtype powers, then what claim does the SRA have that they're the "superior race" or whatever bullshit they pulled?

It's also an example of UNDERSTANDING, as through the newtype dolphin Tiffa was able to learn that all it knew of humans were the pirates who harvested dolphin brains to power their radar systems, and Tiffa wanted to help absolve this hatred.

Is there any way to write fanfiction that isn't 100% autism? I'm rewatching 08th MS Team and it's reminding me a lot of how much I love the sort of vietnam-with-robots vibe it has, how things may not be 100% technically realistic but they make an effort to make it believable from an operational standpoint (like, an MS team being three suits and a support vehicle, suits requiring refit and special filter systems to operate in sandy conditions, stuff like that), and I've always wanted more fiction in that setting with that kind of an approach to how the MS are handled.

I dunno man I just want to write some shitty little fictional prose about zakus being cool walking tanks or something

Have you tried VOTOMS already? If you haven't check it out. It isn't all that "realistic" especially towards the end, but it does have that gritty, military machine feel to its mechs, almost to the point where it feels like they're disposable. It even has a Vietnam with robots scenario as its second arc
>>
also try Dougram
it still falls down to "dougramwinslol" but they try pretty hard at doing all that stuff
>>
>>15442382

I have, but it was always kind of hard to get into what with the rather dated animation. The rollerblading robots thing is neat, though, and I like the way that VOTOMs handles their mechs less as walking tanks and more as heavy shock troops or small special forces teams.

I'm also just really fond of UC-era grunt suit designs.

Why is Luke's face so much bigger than whoever else's face there? The size difference is ruining what would otherwise be a fairly simple but effective poster. I don't know if that's Rey or Kylo Ren on the right hand side, though I'd assume Rey.

Also, hearing a little Joker in Hamill's voice when he's saying "Breathe. Just Breathe. Now reach out." in the trailer, which is nice.

Serious question. I'm 11 episodes in and I don't think I'll be watching any more. The protagonists are terrorists and psychopaths with no redeeming qualities, and I don't know why anyone would sympathize with them or care what happens to them. Does it get any better, or is the whole thing just grimdark and edgy for its own sake?

>The protagonists are terrorists and psychopaths with no redeeming qualities
I'll let you in on a secret, when season 1 was airing almost everyone rooted against Celestial Being. They were pro flag fighters and The Russian Bear.

>I don't know why anyone would sympathize with them or care what happens to them
11 episodes in you should probably hate them more than anything else.

>Does it get any better, or is the whole thing just grimdark and edgy for its own sake?
In like 3 episodes they introduce some new characters who make the main CB crew seem better.
In Season 2 the main characters really are the heroes
In the movie it and ultimate ending to the 00 timeline, It's the exact opposite of grimdark. Image very related.

>Federation sees Newtypes as incredibly useful weapons and goes to hell and back trying to weaponize them, make more, and turn them into one-man armies
>When creating the successor to the Gundam - the mobile suit that not only won the OYW in a big sense, but was piloted by the whole reason they've got their big dick boner for Newtypes in the first place - they choose to make it a deliberate downgrade

I'm sensing a disconnect here. Wouldn't you want your Gundam, a suit that by name alone should be for aces among aces, to be as capable as possible, costs be damned?

>>15456624
Because it was a prototype meant to test out new technologies like the E-packs and movable frame for eventual use on mass production models, not to be the next end all be all suit for aces? Because it was made by the titans and the EF developed a fear of newtypes after the war? Because the titans didn't give a flying fuck about natural newtypes and were working on artificial newtypes and developing newtype specific MS for them at other bases?

Gundams aren't necessarily "For aces among aces" either. Usually they're prototypes for testing out new stuff.
>>
>>15456624
>costs be damned?

no, because it's not so much the machine, but the pilot in the machine. The Gundam became outdated before the war was over. Amuro was just that damn good to get so far with it.

The gundam could cost as much as it wants but if the pilot isn't good enough then it just becomes a money sink due to repair costs and god forbid the thing gets destroyed .

pretty much , Zeon had suits that rivaled the Gundam
