Time to get cautiously optimistic.

Dunbine sucks

>>13959410

Yeah, at least the show is getting subs.

>>13959611
It was a big waste of potiential, really a shame.

>>13964711
Finished Patlabor on tv, and I'm really dreading when I'm done all the Patlabor things. Any other shows /m/ would say are similar?

>>13959410
Initial prep here meaning getting a non-shit encode from Luurah since he has DVD ISOs and it was the very last ep from that set.

>>13965738
Dai-Guard

>>13967086
Hmm, that's inconvenient. At least he'll finish a couple of his projects sooner or later.

>>13967288
Nah, it was just for that one ep. 27's the start of the 2nd box set and was able to get the ISOs for that myself.

>>13965738
J-Decker, but with sentient robots.

>>13967449
Oh, good then. That's the spirit!

Why are there no blurays of Captain Harlock?

>>13972593

Not enough demand maybe?

>>13976349
I can hardly wait for this show to get full subs, even if it takes a while for the TMUSubs folks to aid Luurah.

>>13976414

Agreed, I'd love to see it fully subbed too.

Did MartyMcflies ever rip the LP for this? It's really hard to find the OST in general.

Subs for Layzner BD when?

>>13994852
Ask Starseeker after her yearly April Fools release.

>>13995312
Pretty much this.

>>13994345
I'd rip it if I had the money to pay for it. There's two copies of the OST on Yahoo Auctions JP right now, the cheapest being 4000 yen, but as of right now I don't have enough money to pay for it

I'll buy it some day, though. Some day...

If we're talking anime without HKs:
Mazinger Z
Grendizer (somewhat)
Combattler V
Voltes V
Zambot 3
Daitarn 3
Gundam 0079
Gatchaman
Casshan

Plus Future Boy Conan is a borderline case.

What do you think about Genesis Climber MOSPEADA ? The mech designs seem pretty cool and it's only 25-episodes long, but is it worth the watch ?

>>14018504

It's a pretty good show, definitely worth the watch.

>>14019787
Agreed.

Just finished watching Dragon's Heaven. I wish the animated portion was longer but overall it was good

Ikuru is pretty cute, too

>>14018072
Is Daikengo fully subbed? Anidb says it is but I can't find the whole thing.

>>14022664

Sadly no, it isn't subbed entirely yet.

>>14022664
That's one of the ones Luurah's working on. It's still active, but according to his progress report one of the TL Checkers recently got married and that held things back a bit.

>>14022664
>>14023105
Adding to that, one of TMU Subs' other members is dedicated to doing the rest of Cat's Eye (in theory, anyway).

>>14019787

Thanks for your opinion guys, will start it tomorrow !

Does anyone have a download link for all of Mobile Suit 0079? I'd love to start watching Gundam and the first series seems like a good place to start.

Bakabt or Nyaa.se
[EG] is usually the best encodes.
If you'd like to stream it you can do that on sites like Kissanime but it's generally better to torrent.


I'm four episodes into Voltes V and I'm already having a grand old time. Watching the Voltes team dealing with their own problems as well as smashing the shit out of Beast Fighters has been pretty good. I was originally going to start Daitarn 3 first but Voltes came first, so here I am.

God damn why didn't I start watching the even older anime first? Where has this been all my life?

>>14026310
>God damn why didn't I start watching the even older anime first?
Probably because most tend not to get subs very quickly or at all (see most things from the 60s or the Time Bokan franchise). On the bright side, this means that it's harder to wind up watching something bad for now. Also, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the twists.

What do you guys think of Skaro Hunting Society other than being slower than even Live-Evil?

>>14027615
They seem more efficient than Hikari-Senshi, if only because picking piss-poor translators doesn't happen as often. On the other hand, Nanto is such a stickler that he puts hardsubs on every release, even when he knows that's inconvenient.

>>14027615
Good stuff apart from doing just random episodes of many shows. Collaborating with HnK helps thankfully. 60s anime needs more attention.

>>14027729

*HnG, you might have guessed.

Is Cat's Eye or City Hunter considered to be the better series?

>>14027931
City Hunter, since Cat's Eye eventually spins its wheels to the point that the anime allegedly doesn't get to the manga's ending before getting cancelled. CH is always episodic like say, Lupin the Third, so no need to worry about a goal, love subplots or other expectations.

No idea how the Cat's Ai reboot manga is, though.

>>14027440
No, I mean, as in why didn't I start my journey to /m/anhood overall with the older anime in general?

>>14030116
Oh, well most people have moments like that. You could say it's retroactive nostalgia.

No. In fact you can check his twitter @akiniina, he's fairly active there. Here's some fanart of some 70s toku ("Diamond Eye"?) that he posted last month.
Apparently he's working again, he often mentions it, but I don't on what. I don't think he has any series of his own going on.

What are some 70's mecha with female villains other than Jeeg?

>>14079575
Off the top of my head, there's the Time Bokan shows (not Yatterman, since the villainess in that gets bossed around), Daitarn 3 (which isn't apparent for a long time) and Daikengo.

>>14079575
Cutie Honey, obviously.

>>14079575
Voltes V has Katharine.

>>14079653
>Daitarn 3 (which isn't apparent for a long time)

Koros gets her debut fairly early, though? I'm pretty sure the episode with the three Meganoids on the Moon and their giant cut-earth-in-half disks was in the 10s, and she was definitely around by then.

Anyway, uh, Daltanius had a girl villain who's name I can't remember because she's fairly unimportant. And both Grendizer and Mazinger Z had a villain who was part female and part male, for all that counts.

>>14079575

There's one in Gakeen if I recall.

>>14080505
>>14080391
>>14080819
I think the anon meant female villains that are the de facto main villains, rather than subordinates/right hands. He should have been clearer about that.

Come to think of it, Combattler V has those too (even after the villains change midway through).

>>14079653

The female villain in daikengo has it's own boss too if I recall.

Any chance of the Mazinger sequels (Great & God) ever being fully subbed or finished?

>>14087695
Possibly. Discotek is licensing DP titles left and right, Sasword came back and there's an anon interested in translating the Italian dub, so Great Mazinger's chances are good. As for God Mazinger, it all depends on whether Luurah will adopt it.

It doesn't. Combattler V had some good ideas but only an okay series otherwise as long as you pretend the second half doesn't exist. Voltes V is an improvement over it in a lot of ways.

>>14097887
The meme is still going strong, I see.

In fairness, Combattler was like Soda's Goggle V: playing it safe while getting his feet wet, in terms of doing robot shows by himself (given that he only did the second half of Raideen beforehand).

I still blame Godmars' writer for Combattler's ending though.

Neither the two generals or the empress in the second half weren't interesting characters. The empress spent her entire time screaming orders at the two. They gave a little bit of character to the general whose head blew up at the end but pretty much that was pretty much it.

The addition of the children and their comic relief was also completely unnecessary.

There were some good episodes though, the ones with Ryoumas... brother? rival? I forget, but as a whole the second half didn't do that much for me.

Admittedly Voltes V has it's flaws too. The show and the real story of the Go brothers chasing after their father didn't pick up until maybe a dozen episodes in. How it tied it all together in terms of continuity and the twists at the end were great.

I can forgive some of Combattlers flaws, given how common many of them were for shows that aired before and even alongside it. I still think Voltes is an improvement on some of the ideas Combattler had and is the better show.

On a completely unrelated note, Discotek announced their release of Gaiking for June 21st. I'm excited.

Me too. Any day where a Skaro/Luurah joint project gets pre-emptively cancelled is a good one.

Back on the Romance Robot side of things, Luurah is only 10 episodes away from finishing Daltanius!

While we have the mecha names in Macross be Destroid and Variable Fighter, any reason why for MOSPEADA, there seems to be none for both the motorcycles that turn into Powered Armor and the Variable Fighter-esque mecha? Let's see, MOSPEADA means Mobile Operation Soldier Protection Emergency Aviation Dive Armor, and should have been what all motorcycle that turn into Powered Armor are, but that acronym is only for the VR-052, given that there's the VR-038 Bartley and the VR-041 Blowsperior. Likewise with the Variable Fighter-esque mecha. I get it, there's only the Legioss, but in Macross, a VF-1 is a Variable Fighter, so how come no name was given to what a Legioss is?

I'm not saying the head is bad, but it's not something I'd expect on a giant robot, it feels more like a battleshit tower, which is cool, but not as cool as the rest of the body.

Okay, episode 26 finished so I feel I can share some thoughts on the show now.

Why is Combattler a combining robot, exactly? There's no reason for the robot to have 4 pilots since you hardly ever get to see them doing anything and even when you do it's super vague. It's amazing to go entire episodes without one of the main characters getting a single line of dialogue in. I think Chizuru had exactly one word of dialogue in episode 26.

The enemy mech designs are pretty uncreative. The sound effects for them are hilariously bad (literally a person going "grrr").

I do think the the cyborgs with no lower body teleporting into walls was cool, though.

>>14090064

Should I make an OVA general or just use this thread?

Would Sunrise ever give ever give a shit to release BDs of stuff like Xabungle? I know Ideon had a release not too long ago.

>there seems to be none for the motorcycles that turn into Powered Armor

The Ride Armor System is the official name for the transforming motorcycle armor.

>MOSPEADA should have been what all motorcycle that turn into Powered Armor are

The MOSPEADA is the most mass produced of the three model variations, and because the show's leading character uses it, it makes sense that the show would be named after it.

>how come no name was given to what a Legioss is?

The Armo-Fighter Legioss is initially produced in three model variations: AFC01H, AFC01I, and AFC01Z.

I've watched 32 episodes of Combattler and ever seen the kids have shown up my enjoyment has dropped to like a fraction of what it once was. I'm hesitant to drop it because I've already invested so much time into it. What should I do?

Toei wanted to have the second coming of the Boss Borot crew and ride on their success as much as possible with their own imitations. Both Daltanius and Kotetsu Jeeg have one, though I'm not sure about Toei Getter or any others.

Episodes with the children start to taper off past 40. If you do decide to hang on, there are some pretty good episodes in the 40s.

>>14121636
For Toei Getter, Genki was mostly a sideline character who had a few good episodes like G's episode 14.

Toei Getter's comic relief instead came from the other inventor and his robot who were introduced somewhere around halfway through. He wasn't really a character in G though which was a good call considering the difference in tone between the two series.

The Daltanious kids weren't awful.

Grendizer had Danbei as the comic relief character. He was pretty alright.

>>14121691
Getter Robo's are scrubs and not finished yet (since Caffin is more sluggish than even Skaro).

>>14121704
>Grendizer had Danbei as the comic relief character. He was pretty alright.
Although that's partly since he completely stops appearing about 3 quarters into the show. Also, johnnyenglishsubs is working on better subs by using the more accurate French ones, just so you know.
>Getter G
How are the crabsticks for those, by the way? Are they alright or SEDUCE AWAY THE GETTER tier?

>>14121691
Parts of Getter Robo and G are subbed properly. The rest are crabsticks.

>>14121722

Caffin's possibly dead: (abookoffaces).com/CaffinSubs/posts/1117428058298088

G's crabsticks are an improvement. Grammar is still spotty but there's no major fuck ups.

>>14121731
A shame, but at least a new successor would just need to do half. Good to hear about the G subs though. Also, a few other Boss Borot and gang clones and such I've forgotten to mention.

Golion had the family of mice that Princess Fala interacted with. Granted, that may most likely have been done to imitate Disney's Cinderella as well.

While live-action, Sun Vulcan had Sukehachi, who was largely redundant since the show already had enough comic relief.

On the non-Toei live-action side of things, there was Super Robot Red Baron's Inspector Kumano, who was awesome whenever the situation called for it.

Baron Ashura was always two people stuck together by Dr. Hell, unless you're talking about something specific.

>>14122923
I'm talking about the backstory in the picture.

>>14122990
Ah. Well, Shin borrows a lot from other Mazinger works (and general Go Nagai works), so finding out that some element of it is actually from an older work isn't that off.

>>14122990
Shin Mazinger uses that from Z Mazinger though, not whatever that shit you posted is.

So with the first episode of Galatic Patrol Lensman subbed, I was curious if there was any other worthwhile mecha shows that were more fantasy oriented, but still had a slight tinge of sci-fi

Only other one that I can think of is Starzinger

>>14123822
I don't think the Starzinger TV series has been subbed yet

>>14124711
Skaro Hunting Society are working on it. Unfortunately, it's Skaro, so that'll probably be done sometime between now and the next 10 years or so.

In the meantime, Shout Factory released a compilation dub done by William Winckler, though that's not the best of options.

Is it just more or did the quality of the Kamen Rider manga drastically go downhill after the first protag died?

Unfortunately, Dr. Slump in general is gimped in the subbing department, particularly since N'Cha Subs died. The newer anime is even less subbed than the old one.

Luckily, there is still one person around, but he needs help pronto.

I was going to rewatch UC Gundam now that I've finally started getting more free time and I haven't watched any of them in like 8 years, but I realize I really need to get through my backlog one of these days. Shit is huge and I don't know where to start. Maybe I should focus on the big ones I still haven't seen like Votoms or Ideon if the BDs ever finish getting re-subbed

Also, anyone know if L-Gaim external subs exist? Want to apply them to the BunnyHat release.

>>14130172
Speaking of Votoms, when the fuck is it getting BD treatment?

>>14130172
All the /m/ Subs episode releases are softsubs. The big problem is that it's the Shin-Getter episodes that are hardsubs, so those would need to be typed manually. If you need help, it might be a good idea to ask KaixeRho. >>14124149

How are the translations of the Patlabor BDs released in North America a few years back? Awhile ago I remember there being a discussion in one of the Patlabor threads that the original NA release of Patlabor had some questionable translations, especially with the TV series, with things being wrong or worded weirdly and meaning being lost. Is there any truth to that and do the BDs have the same translation as the old DVDs?
