So you expect me to believe that in U.C 0079, somewhere in space the Federation developed a Gundam that obviously surpasses the original Gundam shown in the original 0079, where, during this time the Federation considered it a miracle that they were able to develop the original in a time they needed it the most, where the Gundams they deployed in South East Asia, including Gundam Alex (you know, the one they developed just for the hell of it for the story it was being used for) moved like snails compared to this one.
As much as I like Gundam, especially UC, the powercreep just seems so inconsistent at times, especially when you take into account these "side stories".
Thunderbolt is an AU you nerd.
>>14857757
Don't forget about the RX-79 G gundams which they were able to mass produce on a limited scale
The thing about these is that they're all just variations on the original RX-78. Even as late as 0083 they're still using RX-78s. Zephrantes, Physalis and Dendrobrium were all just RX-78s.
FA-78 was also just an RX 78.
So the time needed to develop the "new gundams" are but a fraction of the time they needed to complete the original.
That being said, yeah FA-78 is portrayed as being pretty nimble compared to all the other RX-78s but
>It's in space
>The Psycho-Zaku is also pretty nimble
Most likely it's just the animators taking artistic liberties with the source materials because with a high production value like Thunderbolt you're gonna want to make the fights look cool, and you gotta make the robots super manueverable to do that usually when you're in space
If you want to see something more "realistic", go watch G-Saviour. People bitched and moaned so hard about how slow paced the battles are in that but you know what, I actually kind of liked it because for once it seems that we're actually aware that these are GIANT robots fighting other GIANT robots.

The Gundam AU makes the "special" Star Wars AU look intelligent.
We're talked about favorite style of robots, warships and launch shouts. But what is /m/'s favorite style of launching?
Linear catapults?
Stuffed in a cannon and shot at the enemy?
Just walking and jumping off the ship?
Running off the platform and doing a long jump?

Look at the way the CONSENT Mobile suits are launched, they do it UPSIDE DOWN :O
∀∀∀∀∀∀∀∀∀∀∀∀
>>14857265
Linear catapult is great for space, but something has always been strangely satisfying about the tunnel launch from Eva. I think it's the effect of hitting the top
I love unnecessarily complex catapult mechanisms, like arms and tracks shifting into place
Alright tokufags, you win. Where do I start with tokushit? I have only seen Hakaider.
Keep it /m/ please.

I can't wait to start my first MG next week. Its the Heavy Arms EW
What is your excuse this time?
Does /m/ like it?
Ive never seen it, but I ordered the blu ray. I remembered the first time I heard about it was its influence on DMC.
>>14854148
Of course we like it, why wouldn't we?
Speaking of Cobra is there any news for the manga or does anyone have any scans for it?
>>14854209
Hokuto no Gun periodically puts out chapters when they have the chance.
Out Quest is dead.

>>14852962
Fuck
>>14852962
>Out Quest
didn't even know what it was till now.
I kept seeing people ask about it, and mentioning that I didn't post on the twitter anymore, so I felt like I had to explain it.
Most of what you'll want to know can be found in the twitter posts I made. The tl;dr though is
>I borrowed money to make Out Quest happen
>I didn't get enough traction going for it, and there's a major lack of interest in investing or backing a video game in the Arab Gulf
>My dad's business got robbed and now I'm stuck trying to put the pieces back together.
>I'm now broke, still paying back debts, and trying to get back on my feet to finish it off.
I would like to point out that it's an odd feeling to see one of my tweets get posted though.
did you enjoy watching code geass?
>>14850592
new anime announced next month
Yea it was fun
Well, I hear funimation released a new BD version for the american release which included the picture Dramas from R2 but I am not sure if they have english dubbed for them or not.
>>14825511
I tried to like it, I really did, but I got twenty episodes in and there just wasn't anything to like about it besides the setting. The time travel episode was cool though.
>>14825511
The only one I've seen. I liked it as a lad
>>14825511
I hate this fucking show worse than anything else in the franchise besides ‘Hunters’. ‘02’ may objectively be written more ineptly, but at least it had more energy and ambition than this strangely sterile knockoff of ‘Adventure’ with its unlikeable characters, autistically over-symmetrical worldbuilding, and flat, one-note references to traditional fairy tales.
Digimon designs were the best the franchise has ever seen though.
>"And of course, they refer to meatbags as 'organics'. Unacceptable."

>ended up as a dungeon midboss in a mediocre to bad MMO
HK deserved better.
>>14869902
He came back. 3 times.
>>14869909
Actually let me rephrase that, he literally came back twice and came back in spirit once.
>Malgus repaired him and you fight him again
>you rip out his programming core and shove it into an HK-51 shell to bring him back in that body, obtaining the 51 companion (who is arguably the best companion in the game and has some of the best dialouge)
>there's a golden one named HK-55 that worked as a Sith Lord's bodyguard

I can't think of a defining example but for the most part I feel like /m/ itself & most mecha anime with its anti-war sentiments (particularly Gundam) influenced me transforming from an edgy 12 year old /b/tard into a somewhat more socially/politically aware adult.
Thanks, /m/. If it wasn't for you I'd probably be voting for Trump.
>>14869969
But Clinton is the pro-war ticket.
>>14869969
>Trump must be objectively wrong to everyone I meet
>just because he's wrong in my opinion
Ah yes, you're quite the socially/politically aware 'adult'.
Just finished this
What does /m/ think of it?
Has anyone seen the live action original?
>>14868090
I loved the animated series, but haven't read the manga yet. Is the ending as messed up?>>14869042
It's cheesy 70s Toku, if you don't mind that It's worth watching.
I love everything Kikaider but the manga remake.
I'm an angry man, /m/. I want 4MB Webm files, and i want sound. How do we go about getting this changed?
>>14867384
Use /wsg/
Crosslink to /m/
Done.
/m/ as a board doesn't have any big reason to have WebMs with sound or the like. That's exactly why /wsg/ exists.
Nice quality animation there, switches from a beam rifle to spray gun from one shot to the next.

Yes, and?

Xth for the best OOO form.
I've been watching OT's Shinkenger BDs and have been wondering if Rider shows around that time have gotten BDs. If they have, why haven't they been subbed yet?
Could The O beat The Big O?
I know there's a size difference, but what about a Big The O?
Big O is stronger but has the issue of being inspired by the old Giant Robo and having to do silly gestures for twenty seconds before using any ranged weapons
>>14865856
They can't even be within miles of each other because The O only works in space and Big O on normal ground.
>>14865873
>The O only works in space
Does it? If it can handle being near Jupiter's gravity well, Earth should be no problem.
