70s & 80s mecha thread

Heads up everyone, it looks like Luurah released ep 24 of Daltanious!

More Dragonar subs when?

>>13205475
Probably been posted here before, but anyone see the Gradius anime?

The 3 OVA series? Yes.
I found it pretty weird how some of the in-game enemies (moai statues for exemple) were protecting the good guys from Gofer's army.

Is it entertaining? exciting?

>>13207708
It's not really anything special, but it's nice. The best part is that it uses music from the games, and a few of the bosses show up.

Japan does love their Moai. After all, Konami themselves made a game about a heroic Moai.

It helps that it was animated during Pierrot's golden age.

oh snap, it's a Pierrot? I'm definitely watching it soon then

I watched some of Tobikage because animesols did it and I loved the use of pastel colors, which now that I look at it again is in that Gradius screenshot I posted. I think Pierrot always had a bunch of extra pastel paints sitting around because of their magical girl shows, and that made their shounen and mecha stuff look really unique

So I'm watching Salamander now. This show really represents some of the best things about classic anime sci-fi. Like you can tell they took the rather simple concepts from the games and had an awesome time bringing those ideas to life. The scenes with the black cloud turning planets into living organic horrorscapes are awesome. And I loved the bit how they riff on the enemies in Gradius coming in those static waves that only fire upon the player if they get too close, and talk about how they're automated ships that are meant to catch capitol ships and armadas, their waves strung out like a "fishing net in space." COOL. The animation in those scenes is competent too. The gore-planets look especially good. Pierrot was having fun with this.

On the downside, boy can the characters talk. And talk. And then talk about what they just talked about again. Seems like the show is broken into chunks of blathering repetitive talky exposition, and then the exciting cool bits where the shooter ideas get tried out and things actually happen. Hopefully the pacing gets better in the later episodes.

>>13221814
I was very pleasantly surprised by it.
nothing amazing but for "ovas based on shooting games" it did a decent job

>>13220504

Those mechs and the Kamen Rider Black-like soundtrack are enough for me to give it a try.

>>13220504
Masami Anno is very hit and miss indeed. Case in point, Ginguiser.

Has anyone scene the Yamato blurays that were released awhile back? I'm curious if they're worth downloading or if they're shit quality. Also it's just the first series, correct?

The manga is, but the movie and TV series are from 1982.

From Orphan Fansubs' latest status updates:
>Hi-Speed Jecy - from new LaserDisc rips. 1-10 at QC, 11-12 at fine timing.
It's one step closer to another 80s show finally being completed.

>>13241571
Oh nice. I didn't know it was at least decent enough to run for that long.

>>13241590
It helps that it's another Studio Pierrot work. Plus, Shigenori Kageyama worked on some fun things, like one of the Fandora episodes and Luna Varga (not /m/ or 80s, although it did come out one year after Jecy ended). On a related note, Orphan are also working on another work Kageyama was involved in to some extent.
>Bavi Stock 1 and 2 - translated. The VHS rip of episode 2 needs to be encoded.

Not sure if anyone here is interested, but I joined a subgroup and we just put out the first episode of Wonder Beat Scramble. I think it counts as mecha, they go in a spaceship and get micronized to heal bodies from the inside. It's a little crazy. And Tezuka talks about eyes at the end.

Yeah, I'd say it checks out. That said, glad to see a new subgroup venturing into this big world, so good luck to you brave folks. Starting with a 26-ep series is a smart move, too.
>And Tezuka talks about eyes at the end.
Business as usual, I see.

>>13243147
Thanks.
It's sci-fi themed and has a bunch of spaceships and faux-spaceships throughout so I figured it was close enough, the robot sidekick sure helps.

Not an amazing series by any means, but it's pretty fun.

>>13252239
>Too bad they can't really work on Daikengo as much as they do on Daltanius and Dai Apolon

Why?

>>13252254
Not him, but this is from one of their updates:

>First of all, I want to apologize for the lengthy delay in this release. Two months ago, I had a medical emergency that was unavoidable that rendered me unable to release or work on any subs. I’m much better now, so thank you for understanding.
>Also, blind51de has been bombarded with multiple projects, so he was unable to assist in these episodes. In his place, I’ve enlisted another translation checker: Kiseki 83. This selfless person was able to do translation checking on these scripts. Also, Onibaba did some spot translation checking in Episodes 07 and 09. Please, thank them both for assisting in making these subbed videos come to fruition.

Granted, it doesn't help that the group they're doing the joint with (TMUSubs) is still busy trying to do the rest of their Cat's Eye releases (which is evidently taking an eternity).

The three main robots have pilots as of Episode 3 or so.

They spend half the show looking for ninjas, who are the only people capable of piloting the three robots.

There's a lot of shit in Tobikage, and I do mean A LOT of shit, but even just from that premise you should be able to sight a fatal flaw.

Okay, but here's my question: Is it true the ending is confusing, because it isn't. Basically, Seifreit throws Jeanne into an escape pod and blows up the main Zor ship, with him staying, and as the ship explodes, pieces fall into the three caves containing Flowers of Life.

>>13255165
I didn't find it confusing, no. It was just funny in how it failed to convey any sense of urgency, I think that throws people off - they believe they saw a major character death, but nothing about it feels like one.

Scribbles with a big beefy pencil. No, really!

It's pretty decent. It's a poor man's Macross. You can tell they were trying to recreate the magic, and unlike the actual Macross sequels they focused on the right elements. Worth a watch.

Some 9B pencil like >>13258549 said.

Daltanious episode 25 is out. Luurah is somewhat on fire lately.

Am I allowed to ask about sequels to either 1970s or 1980s shows that aired in the 1990s, like say, Orguss 02?

>>13258549
>>13259948
Using pencil on a cel?

>>13261899

Well, even though most pencils may not leave traces on a celluloid sheet (they do on polyester sheets), I'm sure charcoal pensil or a big 9B could could. Maybe I'm just wrong, maybe it's some kind of paintbrush and paint I don't know about, but these marks look like big graphite/charcoal ones.

>>13262670
I'm almost certain xerography was in wide use in anime (the entirety of Tiger Mask wouldn't be possible without it). So that would be just graphite on paper.

It is one of the main mech from Dorvack. Hasbro being out of robots for their transformer series, they just licenced a bunch of mechs from various show and shit. What actually surprise me is that they didn't seems to have problems with Harmony Gold for using the VF-1 Valkyrie as Jetfire.

>>13283956
The SNES version is superior (although not 80s).

>>13284327

Even though the SNES version has better looking sprites, the arcade version is still better when it comes to movement decomposition, backgrounds & overall playfield. music and gameplay (the game loses it's charm without the 2 player mode, even with the more advanced move set), so no, the arcade version is definitely better.

>>13284059
They did actually. They put out a Jetfire for a convention and Harmony Gold raised a stink about it before being smacked down.

>>13285724

Ah well, didn't knew the did. How did they get away with it? Because if I recall correctly, Jetfire still appear in the more recent Transformers comics.

What really sucked about Southern Cross was that it seemed as if they put quite a lot of work into the world building with its countless armor designs, military divisions, elaborate emblems, etc. and in the end you barelly saw anything of it.

I got an old model kit of it before I watched the show and was quite disappointed when it turned out that that guy only appeared for a few seconds.

It seems like they had a lot of ideas with Southern Cross but just didn't know what they were doing. I had the same impression watching Orguss; you can tell the animators are young guys having a lot of fun and inserting references to shows they like, etc, but the pacing in most episodes was just comically awful. Like episodes would suddenly just end, with no denouement, and often not even at an appropriate moment. Just "some characters are talking, welp, now the episode's over." It was hard for me to imagine how that kind of thing even got past storyboarding.

There's a DVD release of Mazinger Z with good subs according to a friend, but he and I have never found a rip of them and I'm skeptical if anyone ever did rip one (and the archives are down so if it was done recently I have no way of knowing).

>>13319983
It was. Someone uploaded them to Mega, along with the Devilman set. I didn't save the links, though, so hopefully someone who did will post them.

Bilbine suffers from two major problems. A coloration that looks absolutely hideous in the show, and the fact that it's completely removed from every other Aura Battler in style.

Also Dunbine is better.

>>13325521

>A coloration that looks absolutely hideous in the show

I don't know what you're talking about, I enjoyed the way it looked in the show.

Anyone know what "da" from VOTOMS Big Battle (Rada Niiva's "No-da! No-da! No-da! NOOOOOO-DAAAAAAAAA!!") means in English?

>>13326365
Da is short slang for Desu.

>>13326367

Though if you actually say "no (iya)" in Japanese, it'd be "iya-desu?"

>>13325521
I think it's more so Billbine's design that makes the colorization off.

I'm turn, because I like it, but it just stands out so much.

I love Amano's Tatsunoko stuff, it's all really bright and stylish. Are any of the shows he worked on worth watching?

>>13340591
>Are any of the shows he worked on worth watching?
Bit of a loaded question, since he was on a lot of 70s and 80s titles of theirs (of which many lack subs). I can say that the first Gatchaman series, Polymar and Casshan are good, though.

>>13341254
What about the Time Bokan series are any of those subtitled outside Yatterman?

>>13340591
I love it because it's a lot more varied in terms of the actual designs. I mean, I don't mind the style he picked up post-Mospeada (in fact, I think it's a feast for the eyes mostly), but I feel as if the overall variety of his character designs took a complete nose dive.

>>13341334
Nope, just the 90s OVA. Even with Yatterman, only the 2015 series has full subs (the 2008 one, meanwhile, has guess subs).

>>13341645
That's a fucking bummer.

>>13340591

Casshern is definitely something you need to watch. I don't know about his other stuff because I didn't watch them yet.

I've been reading Getter Robo and loving it, but one thing I really have to ask is, why does it periodically get art style shifts? Exactly one chapter in Getter Robo and one chapter in Getter Robo G switches art style to something more detailed and less cartoony, then the next chapter it's back to normal The first time it happened I thought it was a time skip and I was confused when it went back to normal.

I'm probably one of the few anons repeatedly asking for this show to get finally subbed for the last couple of years. My deepest gratitude, Orphan-kun.

Planning to watch L-Gaim and Layzner. Gut instinct is to stick with the TV series.
Would the OVAs be a better choice for either of them?

Watch the series, then check out the third L-Gaim OVA and the Layzner OVA as that adds a better ending to the series.

L-Gaim OVA3 is a sidestory set somewhere around the 2nd half, you watch it as well as the TV series. OVAs 1 and 2 are recaps.

Also, two things about the Love, Live, Alive OVA:

1. We know Yellow outed himself as a cross-dresser in the ending of the TV series, with the reporter interviewing him before his concert asking if Yellow still cross-dresses, and given what he wore later in the concert, is Yellow supposed to be applying Visual Kei?

2. Would the whole OVA be basically Yellow trying to get over PTSD, due to the fact after the concert, he encounters Stig, Ray, Mint, Houquet, Jim, and Aisha, and that, by leaving them as the slept, he got over it?

It certainly suits his effeminate, colorful persona along with the Glam and New Wave styles at the time.

His flashbacks seem more like reminiscing, as if he's not so much traumatized over the war as he is longing to see the friends he made during that time. If there was any PTSD, he probably got over it within the two years between the show and the OVA.

Two years? I imagined it longer than that judging by how humanity was able to rebuild civilization after getting the Earth back. Likewise with the ruins Yellow visits at the beginning of the OVA.

Also, in regards to the flashback, given the fact Yellow met Stig and the others while fighting the Inbit, wouldn't him missing them be somewhat PTSD-ish?

Calm down. I'm literally just taking the Hulu subs and putting them on a better video source. The chances of LoDM getting better subs are null at this point, so I might as well make take the least painful subs and put it on RAWs with the right aspect ration. A Discotek release would probably just be putting the TOEI subs onto a disc, too.

The only reason it and Acro have been held up is a mix of life, laziness, and the usual subninja shit. Acro also needs me to find a TL checker, since I have no idea how accurate the subs are so I have that on the backburner.

Hopefully I'll have the first few eps of Gaiking out soon. Gonna try and shoot for dropping episodes in time for the tenth anniversary.

I'll probably be doing a v2 of ep 1 to fix some goofs, and drop both within a week or two, depending on my productivity.

Was going to start a thread but might as well post it here. I would love to post on PC if my home ISP wasn't banned by 4Chan, so I do apologise if pictures come out sideways.

Some GE999 display in local mall.

Really wish I could get closer.

Well if I was wishing things I wished there was an Emeraldas.

Any info on Nanatoshi Monogatari: Arctic Front, /m/?

All online info says it is based on the LoGH writer Yoshiki Tanaka's novel.

2 ep long, story is set in an alternate timeline where earth's axis has tilted, causing death and destruction. Mankind colonizes moon and lives there until years later they try to settle down on earth again.

They choose 7 spots on earth based on crust stability and climate. To ensure control over earth , they surround it with a sattelite system with a laser canon on Moon called Olympus , where anything above 500m on earth's surface is obliterated. A comet carrying space virus fall on moon and decimates the entire moon government , leaving earth in a cage of laser sats. This system will remain active for 200 years.

Story is set around political and military shenanigans of two cities around the arctic.

Has your typical brilliant admiral making fool of incompetent status quo maintainer commander and some chinese dude having something hiding from everyone on earth (you can guess pretty well what it could be)

Warefare is basically modern navy's destroyer class ships duking out since air force is impossible thanks to lasersats and at one moment some land infantary being used.

Too bad all we have is a rushed 2 ep OVA and it seems there is no clue regarding the novel too(which made be believe that this is something anime original stuff written by Tanaka)

So /m/, is it the 2nd most obscure thing after Kyumu Senki ?

Ray wrecked it when he crashed it through two ship hulls onto a Grab. With all the HBT they burned during their skirmish with the Inbit at the ruins, they couldn't afford the time it would take to repair it.

Besides, Jim through his own admission isn't a very good pilot. He claimed to have difficulty simply moving the Tread from one location to another.

Thanks

Another thing about Mospeada: Was it really true Ray was intended to be a psychic?

Has the bump limit on /m/ been raised to 500?

The closest he gets to telekinesis is when he figures out the Inbit's purpose for inhabiting Earth through a dream, though it may have been Refless communicating with him telepathically as she did through Mint while they were in the cave of dinosaurs.

>>13456660
>on all boards
What about the boards that were already 500?

>>13458956

I meant, was it specified on supplementary material that had they had more time, they would have elaborated on Ray (and probably Mint) having telekinesis?

I think I've seen those. It's great battleship porn.

That I am not aware of, though I'm curious as to how the additional 14 episodes they originally had planned would have turned out, especially with the presence of more humanoid Inbit.
