Gunbuster is obviously bestwaifumecha, prove me wrong /m/
>>10993368
I agree, never thought this was up do debate.
>>10993405
up to debate*
>>10993368
My nigga. The designs is really awesome.
>>10993420
it was ahead of its time.
>>10993429
I think it still is.
>>10993368
It's kind of hard to prove when I've no idea what that's even supposed to mean.
>>10993454
waaaat
>>10993440
It is, Gunbuster is a top-notch mecha even to this day.
why is gunbuster so great anyways?
>>10993585
Because it has beam spam, missile spam, two hot chicks piloting it, and don't afraid of anything.
>>10993585
Because it was made with hard work and guts.
>>10993585
bouncy tits
>>10993585
its the evangelion of mecha
>>10993585
Because everything else pales in comparison.
>TTGL
>NGE
lolsht
>>10993627
I'll give you TTGL, but NGE was pretty cool too.
>>10993626
>its the evangelion of mecha
OH I AM LAFFIN
Have you any idea of the importance of Evangelion to modern media?
Please get back to /a/
>>10993627
Nah, mate. Wings of Honneamise is pretty good too. At least visually.
Then again, I might be biased, since Honneamise and Gunbuster are my favorite Gainax things.
>>10993368
Well, that wasn't very hard.
>>10993627
I honestly wonder if you'd think the same if all three series had the same level of populatrity.
Gunbuster's saving grace are the two last episodes, the cool robots, tits and pubes.
I think I like GL as a series better while liking Gunbuster's designs more.
>>10993690
When your dad said he loved you, he lied.
>>10993690
I feel that way about Eva
>>10993729
I feel that wat about all of Gainax.
It's like they're THE entry level pretentious studio. Still like some of their shows anyway.

>>10993429
How the hell is Gunbuster ahead of its time? In fact, it looks like a robot from the 70s, not even the 80s when it was made.
>>10993809
I think he's just joking (I hope). Or maybe he means the fanservice aspect? But then again, there were much more risqué shows at the time.

>Implying there's a design better than the Gunbuster.
>>10993830
That's not even close to what was said, you colossal retard. And yes, there are hundreds of designs better than Gunbuster. I mean, shit, most of Gunbuster's design is just taken from Getter-1 and Getter Dragon anyway.
>>10993830
Ah, they were talking about the design. Yes, it's really awesome. I like how it looks like a traditional, 70s tube robot but has a nice aesthetic. That mono-eye face and those shoulders beef it up real good.
>>10993848
Read the thread.
>>10993856
Okay, let's spell out how stupid you are by plotting out the line of the conversation
>The design is really awesome.
>it was ahead of its time.
>How the hell is Gunbuster ahead of its time? In fact, it looks like a robot from the 70s, not even the 80s when it was made.
And here's your dumb as bricks comment
>Implying there's a design better than the Gunbuster.
So there you have it. You cannot read whatsoever. Thanks for shitposting, come again.
>>10993863
But I'm not him.
>>10993876
Then your comment in >>10993856 is even more retarded, gg.
>>10993883
S-sorry, anon.
>>10993863
>Implying that comment can't be relevant.
I'm stating most mecha haven't evolved past the point of looking like giant walking fucking tanks of ass and you would be hard pressed to find something that differentiates that doesn't look like more ass you little piece of shit.
Code geyass as an example.
>Getter-1
>Comparing that gayshit to gunbuster.
Ooooh myyy goood...
Ooooooh myyyy goooood...
>>10993918
>>10993918
Careful there. The Getter spa might begin anew.
>>10993918
Holy shit this is the most obvious bait I've ever seen.
>>10993932
>>10993939
Then why are you replying to that idiot?
>>10993933
>Getter spa
I must say, I've never thought about soaking in Getter irradiated waters. But now that you mention it, I'd like to try it out.
>>10993368

i don't care

>>10993978
but getter-1 looks pretty shit to me? im new though
>>10993368
those feets
>top kek
>>10993988
Any specific part about it? (the batman ears, the ROUNDNESS, etc)
As an aside, what don't you think looks like shit?
>>10994000
ok well im obviously uneducated about getter-1
>>10994020
>Someone doesn't like the Getter
>IT MUST BE LE EBIN TROLL XDDD.
>>10994006
the roundness is #1 yes, there's nothing realistic about him, looks like a plush toy.
EVA-01 on the other hand is great
>>10994035
My only complaint with Gunbuster as a mecha is that it looks 100% looks like it could be a Mobile Suit. Granted, Noriko is sort of the same archetype as Amuro, as is Shinji, so it makes sense.
>>10994035
Yeah, he's pretty round.
Getter 1 from New Getter Robo is (less) round, but still kinda round.
>>10994083
Mobile suit in nappies, yes
>>10994102
That's rubber shit, not cloth. You could just say it's cover the counts and shit.
I mean, seriously. It's got a mono eye AND a V-fin variation.
>>10994122
Even has a red chin.
>>10993753
I feel that way about anime.
>>10994035
Am I being rused?
Answer is yes.
>>10994083
>My only complaint with Gunbuster as a mecha is that it looks 100% looks like it could be a Mobile Suit.
This bait is way too obvious, bro.
>>10994083
>as a mecha is that it looks 100% looks like it could be a Mobile Suit.
In what way?
>Noriko is sort of the same archetype as Amuro, as is Shinji, so it makes sense.
...what?
Amuro and Shinji? yeah, I can see that.
Those two to...Noriko?
The fuck are you inhaling?
>>10994083
Except Gunbuster looks much better than any mobile suit.
>>10994153
I'm serious, though. I don't mean in action, just in design.
Again:
>v fin variation
>mono eye
>red chin
Makes me think of something the Feddies would have made in Zeta, like the Rick Dias.
>>10994175
Just give it a rest, homie.
>>10994175
Shit, I mean the Dijeh.
>>10993972
this
there's nothing appealing about him visually to give me incentive to go back an get into it.
i bet it'd be a snooze fest + inconsistencies galore
>>10994175
>>v fin variation
>>mono eye
>>red chin
Gundam invented none of those.
We're not mad at you for not being in possession of these facts.
We only hope you will remedy you future actions.
>>10994122
it looks like a nappy bro
>>10994083
>>10994175
It's a Getter. Not a Gundam. Hell, it even has Getter beam and Getter tomahawk.
>>10994233
>>10994240
>>10994224
I don't really see how it looks like a diaper.
>>10994233
I didn't mean in actual practice. I mean just by the design alone. Like, when you see then buster machines combine and the beam and everything, its obvious. And no, Gunbuster's axe is more like Grendizer's Double Harken. Its Sizzler that has a proper Getter Tomahawk.
>>10994233
i know, but if they joined the series and did like Getter x Gundam show, they could iron the differences and make them more similar to each other
>>10994251
>And no, Gunbuster's axe is more like Grendizer's Double Harken.
You're absolutely blind. I mean, seriously blind. Talk about embarrassing.
>>10994251
>I mean just by the design alone
The design IS Getter-like though.
>>10994233
Yes, it also has a big cape and it combines and runs on hard word and guts and black holes too.
And it's best move is the fucking Rider Kick.
It's an amalgam of iconic Japanese sci-fi.
Not just Japanese actually, there is a Star Trek reference or two thrown about in the show too.

>>10994251
>>10994264
Totally not Getter tomahawk
>>10994272
Talking about the design, you sperg.
>>10994284
Wrong Getter
>>10994303
That looks nothing like the tomahawk in >>10994264
Best scene ever. Also the last episode is black and white, how cool is that?
>>10994272
My treky boyfriend had a nerdgasm when he saw Sizzler's serial number.
>>10994295
So was I you ignorant.
The whole part of a conceptual design isn't just the outward aesthetic.
Which, by the way is also several references to stuff older than it.
>>10994316
>The whole part of a conceptual design isn't just the outward aesthetic.
Design refers to how the robot looks, you dumbshit. Not the concept of what the robot is.
>hurr if I act like I can't read and was talking about something else entirely different from what I replied to, then maybe he won't think I'm retarded
>right?
>>10994280
notice how at :28 sec in, when he yells 'charge' you can see a metal penis entering a red vagina, and then Getter-1 perking his ears up
>tfw getter-1 is a homo
>>10994306
You're right, the one pictured in the pic is the regular tomahawk.
The one Gunbuster actually uses to fight looks like this.
Not identical, but not many other mecha favor axes.
>>10994325
How it moves and acts is also an integral part of how and why you design a thing to be a certain way.
Also note that part of what I mentioned was toward the outward appearance.
Did you want me to list out every little reference and shout out the mechanical designers threw into Gunbuster too?
>>10994338
lol
>>10994338
>Penis enters vagina
>This is somehow homosexual
Please explain.

How strong is Nono compared to the original Gunbuster
I've been trying to like pre-90's mecha designs but it's just not working for me.
My early childhood has been entirely of Yuusha shows and Power Rangers, though.I like Tetsujin 28 FX more than the original
>>10994284
>>10994303
>>10994306
There are multiple different minor variations on the Tomahawks that Gunbuster can use.
