Ignoring all the human drama involved in this story, what do you think about the usage of non-military robotics to kill people? Should we tele-operate our police and military forces? Completely automate them? Does the thought of a gun-toting robot dog that can run at 40mph, climb stairs, and jump onto first story rooftops / through windows keep you up at night?

So what sort of robot was it?
Did they just duct tape a remote bomb onto a quadrotor?

They basically put some explosives on an EOD bot, sent it in there, and blew it up.

It's called Zeta Gundam. The way they act doesn't really shout ex lovers, but does express Haman's frustration and desire to have Char. Tomino apparently even told her VA to imagine she was a virgin when thinking about how Haman would act/talk/sound.

Post mechs and mobiles suits with crippling design flaws. One's acknowledged in universe too not just ones that should logically occur due to the design. Bonus points if without the flaw the mech is otherwise very effective.
I'm leading with the Zudah simply because I know it's going to be posted relatively early anyway. Even though I'm starting with gundam this doesn't need to stay gundam, off the top of my head I can think of about a dozen deeply flawed (in universe) battletech designs.

There was an in-universe reason why it was designed that way, but I always thought it was hilarious that the Standing Turtle couldn't turn its head and instead had those little hatches that the pilots had to open if they wanted to look to either side.
>>
>>14466791
What was the reason? Was it a scouting unit with a special data-gathering camera setup that necessitated the fixed head position and wasn't really meant to get into close combat situation?

So /m/ my Neighbor says she used to watch Robotech and Star Blazers back in the 80s, and expressed interest when I told her about Macross Delta and Yamato 2199.
Should I have her watch all of macross cannon, or just give her DYRL and the Frontier movies before showing her delta?

If you can get away with it, have her see everything.
Though of course, you can't leave out 7 either since they directly call on Fire Bomber by name during one of the episodes.

>>14459670
Is there really so much canon in Macross that you can't just jump into it? Newbies love flashy animation. Just start with Delta.

Macross 7 could really do with a compilation movie.

It was always like that. Big O is an exception. I like weighty mechs too but don't pretend like things used to be any better.

Before it was the same except everything was blocky as fuck. The only difference is that now the dodgy mechs actually look the part.

So, someone scanned this book for me, and now I'm trying to piece together what it actually says. I'm going at it in a totally ass-backwards way because I barely know any Japanese at all, and I can't get it to OCR reliably, so what I'm doing is I'm writing the kanji in by hand into Google Translate using a pen tablet. Which is an ass-backwards way of doing it, I'm sure, and it often takes several tries before the suggested kanji matches the one I'm trying to write, but it's fun and I'm learning quite a bit.
But.
Sometimes I manage to write in a sentence, all the characters appear to check out, and then I get a complete nonsense result out of it. This time it's the following sentence: (it's on pic related, in the right hand column, start of second paragraph)
構造の大きな特徴は、「軽い」という事に尽きる。
for which google gives the following:
Major feature of the structure is, comes down to the fact that "light".
I can't spot my mistake, and I don't think it's supposed to be "lightweight" given that the other examples given for 軽い are "minor" and "non-serious"...

>構造の大きな特徴は、「軽い」という事に尽きる。
I don't see what the problem is? A major feature of its construction is that it is light.
As in light, nimble, agile. A nimble vessel.

>>14448354
'doh.
I kept getting hung up on the quotes and the lack of alternatives in that direction. Thanks.
>>
>>14448382
Also, the rest of the paragraph talks about how it's a cost efficient design, that aims for the most output from an inexpensive design. So light matters there too
