I know music gets most of the love, but can we talk about how sound effects make mecha productions awesome? What are you favourites?
I've watched Be Invoked recently and more than the grandiose music score, a lot of the sfx sounds very unsettling (as much as in the series, think about that siren-like sound of the Ideon Sword), lots of scenes with no music and only weird sounds, feeling eerie and making the scene overwhelming to watch. In fact, a lot of older shows, with lower sound quality, have this nice feeling of oddity when you listen to it, I'm not sure about how to describe it. And I fucking love it.
>>15445872
In terms of sound I think VOTOMS ranks near the top.
>>15445917
Came here to post Votoms. Other than that, Star Trek has so many iconic SFX.
>>15445872
Gotta mention VF-1 gunpod and RX-78 beam rifle
>It was pretty good... for FSS fans. For normal people there wasn't enough action to keep them interested, and the ending had a bunch of FSS characters and their mecha show up which made them WTF even more. On the technical side of things it was pretty much as perfect as Nagano wanted. A lot of people were bothered by how expressive the facial animation was (i.e. lots of different types of blinking and eye movement) and there were occasionally a few scenes where the camera would just stay in one spot as characters moved around, which is also atypical for an anime. The sound design was apparently really layered, and the start-up sequence for the GTM was that of an actual jet engine that apparently wowed a lot of people.
This review from Toshio Okada (the Gainax Otaking) gives a pretty good idea of what the movie is like:
http://blog.freeex.jp/archives/51363398.html
just release it PLEASE
>>15445684
blu-ray never
>>15445684
I'm pretty sure it's good since it was praised by Makoto Kobayashi, Akiman, Urobuchi, and various others on Twitter, but like anything with Nagano it sits in his vault forever.
>>15445684
So now that there's a precedent for releasing anime on 4K BDs is Nagano finally going to let us own this or is it forever stuck inside his vault?
I had a weird dream last night.
What kind of show would you get if you take Mazinkaiser SKL, Duck Tales, Dragonball and mix them together? Because this is what I dreamt about and it was weird and badass at the same time. I saw Goku piloting SKL while Donald Duck and friends were watching. What the fuck.
I think I can explain why I had such a weird dream since I watched the new Duck Tales trailer and an episode of Dragonball Super just before going to bed. I already liked Mazinkaiser SKL, and that was the result.
How about you?
>>15445116
I once had a terrible nightmare where a SRW game said that Getter Rays and Dragonium are the same thing. They later went on to say that Innocent Waves from Mightgaine are just highly compressed Getter Rays.
>>15445134
>>15445964
Yes. There are also Doreamon/Fujiko F. Fujio creation and Toy Story combiners, if you can believe that.
What is your honest opinion on Getter Robo?
>>15444476
I love it, my absolute favorite mecha series and the reason I got deep into the genre/started coming here. One of my all time favourite anime series.
I love it
>>15444476
Great series. Much better than its copy GL.
Your top 4 favorite /m/ characters and what your favorites say about you thread I'll start
Amuro ray
Kou uraki
Shinji ikari
Io flemming
>>15444466
Ultra beta that wants to be hardcore and listens to shitty jazz that you interpret as sophisticated simply because of its genre rather than quality.
Char Aznable
Shu Shirakawa
Meiya Mitsurugi
Mikumo GuynemerBonta-kun
Amuro Ray
Kamille Bidan
Blaster Kid
Bright Noa
Glad to see Kou is getting some love.
Stop being an evil adult.
But who's gonna take care of my evil minions if not me?
Being an evil adult comes with a lot of responsibility, I can't throw that away lightly.
>Tomino makes show after show dedicated to how horrible adults can be
>Then makes a show that only adults can halfway understand
>Preaches about how evil adults are in this show
>Says that if adults don't understand the show, that's fine, since it's meant for the next generation
>Next generation can't watch the show because it's on at 2 am
What's his endgame?
>>15444803
Make enough money to keep himself alive with Malaysian tiger-tooth dickpills long enough that he can finally live in space
It's been almost 2 decades since it came out, and a lot of stuff in the Toku world has been happening.
>Kamen Rider is almost half a century old and still going
>Super Sentai is over 40 years old and still going
>Ultraman is even older than both and still going
>The return of Metal Heroes, Kikaider, Inazuman and Zaboga through movies
>Garo's been happening for a while
>Many other series have come and gone, such as Chou Sei Shin and Rescue Force
>Decade, Gokaiger and Orb have used the powers of previous toku heroes
Imagine what a roster would be like...
>>15443493
The closest we've gotten to another Super Tokusatsu Taisen is pic related.
But I'd be down for another actual installment. The only thing that probably doesn't have a chance of being in is Garo due to it being owned by another company besides Toei.
>>15443501
Red Baron (Nippon Gendai) and Ultraman (Tsuburaya) were playabe though.
Plus, that game is a Compati Hero spinoff.
>>15443493
>a lot of stuff in the Toku world has been happening.
Not like Super Toku Wars would care at all about that, it called itself "2001" when it didn't have anything within a decade of that year.
>>15443510
Did Toei do Toku Giant Robo too?
I kinda had to stop at episode 4 for some reason. I think I got bored with it or just didn't get what the fuck was going on.
Should I pick it up again?
>>15443487
No, it was awful and it only gets worse.
>>15443653
Do you think somebody would do that? Just go and lie on the internet?
>>15443487
Continue only if the characters managed to make you care for them at that point. There isn't much mech battles in it and it's their journey to discover their true selves more than anything else.
There isn't really much of a point since it takes a long time to set things up and even then the pay off for the said plot basically amounts to nothing.

It's the "rolled into one" skill whose level determining the rate of both Sword Cut (Deflect) and Shield Defense (Block)
I know Z1 would call it Blocking but I feel that word imply things that might not be true.

What do /m/ think of this season of sentai ?
>>15443460
i guess i like it
>>15443460
Still marathoning it, it's pretty alright so farI also want to fuck the robot
>>15443460
A good season, but the finale is underwhelming. The rivalry between Yusuke and Kemp never reaches any satisfying conclusion.
Will the federation ever have a good guy in it again that isn't piloting a special snowflake magical gundam?
>>15443384
fuck if I know, but the tristan's pilot seems like a spoiled brat
>>15443384
Why would anyone ever want to pilot something as terrible as the Tristan?
>>15443393
>>15443397
Tristan is unrelated to my point since it's the bad guy
How necessary was it to watch SEED and SEED Destiny before watching StarGazer?
>>15443154
It's needed for context, otherwise all you're getting is some rather mediocre mecha action.
>>15443154
Not really. I mean, it's a separate story of its own and does not tie into either Seed or Destiny's plots that deeply.
At most, all you need to do is that the united Earth alliance of nations is at war (or an extremely uneasy peace) with the space nation government. Some terrorists have caused this large rocky mass that was in orbit to fall onto earth, which is causing widespread disaster and flooding.
That's it. You now know all you need to know about the setting of Stargazer. If you want more detail, you can watch the shows or ask about it.
let's put it this way
you could read the setting description on wikipedia, and you would understand everything you really need to know to follow at bare minimum.
Who was the genius who thought someone whose specialty was highschool romance was a good writer for a Gundam show?
>>15443034
Garbage for garbage
>>15443034
Which Gundam did he write????
>>15443034
>>15443057
>implying Toradora isn't better written than >90% of gendum's trash storylines
Anyone else genuinely prefer CG mecha to practical in movies and TV?
I don't really like CG since they usually lack a sense of realism. Recently though, there's some quite convincing CG in films where they try to mimic practical effects. Examples are like Rogue One (Starships are made to look like old 80s models) and Shin Godzilla (his tail moves as if it was dangling from wires)
"Practical" does and has always looked like shit.
>>15442940
I do, models have a limit, CG is always getting better.
