>finally get a new Macross series after three disappointingly bad Gundam series
>it's absolute trash

So, can we talk about the state of mecha in 2016?
The two big classic franchises have shown that they've no longer got the magic and needs to be retired. Where do we go from here? Just sit back every season and watch crappy original mecha series like Comet Lucifer, or Regalia?
Hell, when's the last time there was actually a good mecha series in the 2010s?

It's in the thumbnail

To be fair, Macross hasn't been great in a while. I saw it coming about this one the moment I saw idolshit.

Getter Robo and Mazinger both had something outside of SRW this year?
>>
>>14569907
So SDF?
>>
>>14569863
Nobunaga The Fool, the Aquarion sequels, Aldnoah Zero, Fafner Exodus, Gagrantia, Buddy Complex, Lagrange, Majestic Prince, Captain Earth, probably other things
>>
>>14569922
But I'm serious.

>>14569933
So still Kuromukuro then.
>>
>>14570021
Yes, those are all disappointing. Where's the GOOD stuff?
>>
>>14570021
Aldnoah was trash
Evol's second half was trash
haven't seen nobunagan, but heard it was a code geass tier trainwreck
lagrange seems cool
everything else is alright
>>
>>14569933
Yeah, so Kuromukuro
>>
>>14570056
Kuromukuro basically. Like not some top tier work of art, but compared to what that guy just listed, might even say the show is top tier compared to them.

Nobunagun was awesome, but hampered by a budget comparable to KMB, or Teekyuu.
The manga itself has a really cool artstyle too, although I don't think its been translated.

Star Driver was good.

Kuromukuro is largely unremarkable. Its this year's Buddy Complex hence why its mainly watched by waifufags.

Nope

Logos was a solid improvement on EVOL, so what went wrong to make Delta more of a Nobunaga Za Fooru clusterfuck?

Oh hey, it's another "new mecha shows are shit" thread
you're not wrong

Kawamori needs someone who is comfortable with telling him that he's a stupid ass in his studio.

How did this even happen? Hopefully the Delta movies do to Delta what the Frontier movies did to Frontier.
>>
>>14569863
G-Reco was great.

Easily the best Gundam series we've had since Turn A.
>>
>>14569863

>it's absolute trash

Nice opinions.
>>
>>14570114
I usually hate Anime youtube critics but I agree with him 100% about SDF's use of Minmay was less about idols saving the day and more about culture persevering over war, with Minmay as a vehicle to demonstrate it.

The rest of the Macross shows just kind of do whatever the hell they want with music, and while I love Sharon Apple, Fire Bomber, and Shery Nome, I don't think any of them really hit the same notes, and music is treated a lot more like various pseudo magic powers. Doesn't help that Kawamori mostly follows what's currently trendy in Japanese pop music instead of actually playing around with various genres.

Gundam's guilty of getting all weird and inconsistent with it's themes too, but Gundam also has the excuse of being made by many different people. I kind of feel like Kawamori's slowly losing his touch, and while he can put out a few good songs in his shows, I'm starting to think that he should take a back seat to a younger director with some better ideas and focus more on producing and mechanical design.
>>
>>14570431
That show isn't really good, it's just so bombastically retarded it's hard to not get a kick out of watching it.

Exodus was the last great mecha in the 2010s

But you'd have to be above normalfag tier to have actually watched it.

Let me sum up the video with this image and quote. "The Macross sequels don't interest me because they're too 'anime'."
>>
>>14570654
Yeah, I think the resonating through culture angle was more interesting and heartfelt than magical science waves. I'm not opposed to magic singing powers but now it just feels like something tacked onto the series like a love triangle as opposed to being the thematic soul of Macross.

So one is Gundam and which is the second one?
>>
>>14570122

Captain Earth wouldn't nearly have been as much shit if they spent their time dealing with the aliens and the loli guns instead of corporate security and an incredibly drawn out Pinocchio plot

Every T-Kill Gang should have had the same depth as the Bugbear episode.
