So what's this show like compared to Mazinger?

Watching Mazinger Z has been great fun. On 22-23 now, up next is the episode with Jian, the robot who flies at mach 5!

I do see what folks meant when they said the manga Sayaka and Kouji were nicer though, by comparison the anime versions are much ruder. Since I'm not that far in I assume the banter is far from the worst of it.

Asking again; does anyone have this?

I started watching Zambot 3 expecting light-hearded MotW 70's action. Man did I not expect this body count. I was vaguely aware that the ending had lots of deaths, but I didn't expect so many so often from the start.

Toei Sayaka is the best. I want to marry her.

>>14174622
Do they ever stop being ungrateful fucks?

>>14175658
The answer to that question might vary, I think.
You can certainly focus on the positive and say that people learned to appreciate the Jin Family's sacrifices in their efforts to defend the Earth.
On the other hand people could have kept thinking this was a mess the Jin Family themselves created. And honestly, the lives they save through most of the series far surpass the casualties.
There's also a certain final speech (that I must not spoil) that puts a twist on the entire thing. But that speech can also be interpreted either way.

Short answer: no. People in general don't stop. But they also shouldn't. The Jin Family is a bunch of violent nutjobs that put children in charge of death machines.

>>14175674
Yeah, I'm really looking forward to finishing it. I've been spoiled over the years with people talking about the ending having a high body count, but I never expected there to be so much death right off the bat with episode 1.

It really is refreshing though seeing a show dealing with how many casualties come from fighting in giant robots near populated areas. Lots of shows have done it, but this is the earliest one that I've seen that's dealt with it. Most stuff from the 70s I remember just sort of ignore the fact that so many buildings are getting destroyed. I feel like they should include Zambot in that upcoming videogame where you have to survive in Tokyo while Godzilla, Ultraman, and other big monsters are destroying buildings.

Everything about Zambot 3 so far has really surprised me and been better than I expected.

>>14175707

You have not seen much then

>>14175707
It's funny when you compare it to something like Mazinger where you end up wondering why is there still a city near the Lab, considering how many times it sustained horrible damage.

Not to mention all the dead people. And animals!

>>14175712
Admittedly no, there wasn't much 70's stuff subbed a decade ago when I was really getting into older mecha stuff.

I'll tell you that they didn't like the boob rockets on the toys since they got ejected with a little too much force, enough to poke an eye out.

Galient is pretty cool, and the OP is as great as Bryger's in a different way. It ends far too soon though.

>>14178758
Galient because Bryger will make you wish the rest of the J9 series were subbed, but that will never happen.

Apparently Caffin Subs just posted a new episode of Getter Robo earlier today and are saying they're going to try actually finishing. Hope they do get through it.

Xabungle's ending theme sounds like something the band ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) would've written if the song had been on their album "Time."

>>14186452
That's... a pretty specific way to describe it

>>14186452
Spelling out ELO's name is pointless because anyone who doesn't know ELO is subhuman trash.

But I also haven't seen much talk about Zambot at all in the past few years, and haven't been around /m/ much in those years either so I might've heard it in passing and not remember.

Either way, the whole show really picked up again with episode 16. Nearly finished with it.

Thanks, got ten episodes into Bryger now and it's some of the best epsiodic storytelling I've ever seen. The only real problem I have with it is that Bryger itself feels a bit superfluous, but it's goddamn phenomenal otherwise. I am a tad confused by the soundtrack though. I don't mind it, but why does it sound like it was composed by Deep Purple? Did the 70s reach Japan a bit late?

>>14206734
You'd have to ask the composer about that

>>14206734
Brygar is one of those shows that is a perfect example of the robot being a complete afterthought in order to get a sponsor. The other J9s are similar in that regard.
As for the soundtrack, remember the joke that the 80s started in about '83.

I'm enjoying it, but it isn't without fault. The episode scripts are usually pretty bad, but I like the overall structure of it. It seems a lot like ZZ, even the second part of it. The constant double-crossing of all involved parties is entertaining to watch, and the characters no longer get hit with the retard ball every so often, like they were in the first half.

Man, that was fast. It's a good thing he considers translation an alternative to playing games (alongside actually enjoying the show).

>>14227234
Well, lesser alternative. I mean if I have the money, I'd rather play say, Dark Souls 3 or some other AAA games... but I don't, so the game 'guess what's he saying' and 'how would you translate this sentence' gonna have to suffice for my fix of escapism.

The show itself is indeed enjoyable, though! I like the lighthearted nature of it, though the high amount of dick jokes is quite...unexpected.

>>14227287
It might be best to go for discounts, sometimes.

That said, Kanda has a lewd sense of humor, which was already displayed in Vifam. I sure didn't expect him to actually show erection jokes outside of OVAs though.

Does anyone else think the female characters in L-Gaim seem pretty "modern" moe? L-Gaim was truly ahead of its time.

That's some chill fairy right there. Anyway, is there any connection between her and Cham in Dunbine?

>>14231271
The same animators had worked on Dunbine, and they liked Cham. So L-Gaim got a fairy.

>>14231408
>The same animators had worked on Dunbine

Yeah I know that, that's why I asked if they had any connection.
But anyway, if they only decided to include her because they liked Cham, well that's a good enough of a reason for L-Gaim to have one then, Cham was among the best girls in Dunbine imo.

>>14231437
She's voiced by the same person, too.

One of the reasons I just love mecha shows, the kind of sound effects they use at 0:04 (in the Patlabor's video) and 0:05 (in the Getter Robo one). I just love the way they sound.

I'm genuinely suprised that all the main characters sruvived. Kyao even gets to fuck a fairy.

A fairly satisfying ending, although the last arc went on a bit too long. And even if Gablet and Daba never had a final confrontation, he was a good rival. Probably one of my favourites in a mecha show, I think.

I actually watched MD Geist today.

Many shows try to have a plot and fail.
MD Geist tries not to have a plot and succeeds catastrophically

Does a blu ray rip of the 1979 cyborg 009 exists anywhere?

>>14243823
It has a lot of heart and soul. Not much in the way of plot, but you end up really liking the cast.

That said, while the kids do end up becoming a lot more involved in the war during the show's second half, ironically the show kind of loses its momentum as a result. Pretty similar to Dunbine in that regard.

Man, Mazinger Z is great but damn sometimes it's fantastic.


Why wouldn't Koji want to marry someone like Sayaka? In the manga they were so much nicer together. Hell, Aphrodite A and Borot even got a chance sometimes. By comparison the anime is hilarious but it makes me sad they aren't as cute together, or at least not in the same way.

>>14261990

I haven't watched the show yet, only read the comic. Does Kouji treat Sayaka THAT badly in the animation?

>>14264057
Both treat each other badly. It's not like it's one sided.

It does change in the last 20 or so episodes of the show though, after Sayaka's first robot is destroyed and she even becomes kind of crazy for a bit before recovering, but that's already near the end of the show and by that time the series focused much more on the Dr.Hell and Mycenae stuff so there's very little screentime of improved Sayaka and Kouji actually hanging out.

>>14264109
It;s too bad they seemed to have run out of mecha beast designs ideas by the end of the show, though.

Has anyone watched any of the old Tatsunoko series, such as the original Tekkaman and Gatchaman? Are they any good?

I watched a few Casshern episodes, as well as the first Time Bokan episode, and pretty much enjoyed them.

>>14278763
Casshern is a cool show but the ending is really silly.

The first Gatchaman is cool enough, even if the quality of episodes vary. The two sequel series are apparently not so hot.

>>14280581

I liked it, I found it pretty fun.

>>14280581
I watched it. I didn't enjoy it too much. At the time, I felt it was the most 'anime' anime I'd seen in a while. As in what people think anime is.

>>14280581
I second >>14281083
I went in expecting more Xabungle but it's its own thing. It has its weaknesses of course but I didn't mind watching Daba and his gang being decent folks and watching Heavy Metals bash each other.

Ending battle was easily the weakest aspect due to seeming rushed though the animation was fine. Final scene was nice. You can see the parallels between Zeta and Double Zeta in L-Gaim as well as some Xabungle bits (e.g. the general comedy, Gavlet Gablae)

Anyone else think Dunbine was the biggest waste of potiential in Tomino's career?

>>14280581
I finished it a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed it a lot. The first half was mostly dumb fun in the vein of ZZ, and the rest was filled with a lot of what I thought made Zeta great: double crossing, space battles, etc. And Gablet Gable was a great character, too.

>>14282412

No, I enjoyed Dunbine.

Not sure if I overlooked something, but was the original Zero Tester ever subbed? Or was it just a few episodes?

Are any of these even worth watching? I'm on the last few episodes of the main series and debating whether I should download any more

>>14297756
If you liked the main series, the first three in production order are good, as is Mellowlink. After that you hit Shining Heresy, which starts the Eternal Chirico Suffering Train, and then there's the mediocre Pailsen Files, the bad Phantom Arc, and the really terrible Alone Again.

Haven't seen Finder or Case Irvine yet.

>>14298385
Thanks. I figured some of the novelty would wear off by the time I watched OVA #8. Why does VOTOMS have so many OVAs, anyway? I've never seen any other series with this many.

>>14298396
It did have a long stretch after Shining Heresy (93~4) until Pailsen Files (2007).

>>14298396
Because Bandai thought they could cater to Chirico fans constantly, so they rehired Takahashi again and again, even though the story was clearly done. Of course, there aren't any new Votoms OVAs anymore, so the fans clearly got sick of it.

>>14305710
>the nonsubbed episodes
I meant, the softsubbed episodes. And I'm 100% serious with the "don't bother". It's a show that got extended and then canceled and it really shows, in the worst possible ways.

And speaking of Area 88: did the rescan thing get DCMA'd or something? I just rembered that the last thread got most of the posts deleted before the thread itself got deleted. Is that guy still scanning KoS?

Does Mospeada ever get a plot?

>>14305755
Technically speaking UK Windom agreed to take over as he owed me a favour for Gyrozetter, Gunlord was the one contacting Gorge and he has gotten contact and should get a script to us by the end of this week. Sasword's been back for a while, it's just no-one cared about Goldran.
