This may just be me, but I never got he sense the design was trying to communicate agility, just vaguely imitate the aesthetics of jet fighters. The actual robots have a somewhat hefty sense of weight despite their frames.

Yoshimune generally designs rather beefy robots besides the waists. The original game had a slimmer look and more intricate designs for the main character units because other artists like Nishii were involved.

>>13873000
AO is quite possibly one of the worst sequel series ever made. It's a shit load of build up with absolutely ZERO payoff.

It somehow even made the original series worse. Not to mention the fact it takes shit from the movie as well.

I'm gonna get shit on for this, but the series' foundation is how the main characters all develop over the course of the series. Renton grows up, Talho stops being a bitter slut, Holland starts acting his age, etc. It's a coming of age story at its very core.

Don't pull that "hurrr u only care bout fights" garbage. /m/ loves plenty of series that are only tangentially robot-related and where characters just fucking talk. It's because EO's characters were unlikable. I understand Holland starts acting his age, but by the time he does, Holland is such an asshat faggot I just don't care. Renton and Eureka are retarded to the point of being unsympathetic. I only cared about Dominic and Anemone.

You can't have a character-driven story and then make 90% of those characters unlikable, bungling retards. That's why people think E7 is bad. It fails at the thing that's supposed to be its point.

And because you fail to understand this and pull that condescending fucking "u just didn't get it mayne look past the robot fights" bullshit, that's why you're gonna get shit on. Because you are a smarmy lil faggot.

>>13873384

A character driven series fails when there isn't a single likable character in the entire cast. Every single character is a poor expy of someone in Eva, as if someone decided to make a happier Eva with the same characters, but had only read a synopsis of the series on Wikipedia.

>>13873384
It's less "coming of age" and "watch these characters spend 45 episodes doing the same stupid shit over and over before they spontaneously realize it's dumb right near the end."

>>13870008

There is literally no reason for the Kyshatryia to have legs, even beyond how often that applies to more common mobile suits. Everything the legs supposedly do, the 'wings' of the Kyshatryia already do instead.

Sure, it would be slightly less convenient on Earth, but its primary weapon is funnels. Its ALREADY fucked if it has to fight on Earth. Don't deploy a submarine to fight in the mountains.

>At least with Devilfish it has the excuse of being built before giant robot lifting was even a thing.

The Nirvash typeZERO was the first LFO, remember? They completely developed it before other LFOs were made and it had a lifting board on top of its vehicle mode and skates when it was officially rolled out. The Devilfish is just an early model that doesn't have the same polish as the later ones.

I assume that when TheEND's archetype was found, since it was all part of the plan to have a "backup" Eureka, it was more directly modeled after typeZERO than other LFOs.

You simpleton! That's how the enemy would EXPECT you to think!

>>13881553
I unfortunately can't remember the particulars, but going by the games Holland's unit were the first to ever use ref boards with LFOs during the time period of TR1 (sometime after Sumner's unit encounters them using 505s on the ground and before they get their own boards in response)

What I can't remember is if they used them before fucking off or specifically to steal the Gekko, in which case the orphan flashback becomes contradictory and the game is arguably retconned because it was made before that episode. But the flashback also has them groundpounding despite the ref boards being mounted so you could also argue an animation mistake or whatever.

Rollout Nirvash is a boxy motherfucker with no board.

>>13881731

Are the games considered canon? I was always under the assumption they weren't, but I could be wrong. I know certain characters from the games show up in the manga, but we never see anything specifically from them referenced in the anime, if memory serves.
