ITT: Make /m/ butthurt

SEED was by far the most successful Gundam series since UC and literally saved the franchise.

IBO struck gold worldwide and is bringing Gundam back to the international stage.

BF Try was a success.

0080 bombed so hard it will be the last to get a BD because Bandai knows it's going to flop.

Gunbuster is a shameless otaku cash grab that was made by Gainax to recoup their losses from Wings of Honneamise. If you like Gunbuster, you are responsible for lower the standards of anime.

>>14638974
I still see nothing wrong with that line.

P-Bandai is actually a good thing and has been single handedly keeping the MG line alive.

A/Z brought more people into mecha anime then any series within this decade.

In a way it sort of does since they put the popular / new designs for general mass production while selling variants that they know they won't sell too many but it does suck for those who live outside of Asia since quite a few of the older designs that /m/ like are P-Bandai only

>>14638974
Mecha is a creatively void and bankrupt genre designed to swindle dumbass otaku dipshits into giving money for overpriced do it yourself kits with hack writing and a moralizing attitude nothing short of laughable coming from idiots who got their own country nuked because they were too goddamn sturbborn to realize they were fighting out of their weight class, and anyone who enjoys mecha is weeb equalivent of a mindless consumerist serial blockbuster watcher who keeps handing money to watch the same thing over and over again.

GaoGaiGar is the only good Mecha anime as it holds positive progressive values and does away with toxic masculine stereotypes that pervade the genre.

Tokusatsu shows belong on /m/. All of them.

>>14638974
Valvrape sucks

not a direct butthurt but more from my personal experience:

>looks at rx78 1:1 statue
"is that optimus prime?"

>watching pacific rim together with the other /a/ folks irl
>one of the faggot kept interrupting and said ,"it doesnt make sense" while at the same time sucking pokemon's dick for no reason at all

>convinced a lot of pleb irl to watch old anime
>succesfully introduced intro level /a/ series
>a year later, still getting stuck in mindless shounen anime and already declared gintama as the best anime ever made
>time to start level them up by introducing /m/ series
>they are not watching it because the graphic is old annd immediately got turned off
>other says ,"robot is weird" when they havent watched it even once

>>14639057
Dude, your friends suck.

Super Sentai belongs on /m/ more than LotGH does.

This sounds far more like projecting than an actual opinion.
I rarely see any mecha fan acting as if they're better than others. Complaints about "normies" aren't that common here. I don't think anyone likes mecha to feel superior to others. That's fucking weird, man.

Tomino is a director. He has screenwriters for all of his shows. Does he even write that "tomino dialog" people get so worked up over?

>>14639562
Thank you.

This thread is /v/ shit.
You're not going to trigger /m/ or make /m/ butthurt because believe it or not this board is a hell of a lot less autistic than some would expect.

/v/ is full of retarded, loudmouth, kneejerk children who legitimately get mad when an opinion that challenges the consensus is uttered. /m/ for the most part is more chill. We actually discuss the shows and people exchange their thoughts and there is no consensus everyone is forced to comply with here.

The only thing even slightly annoying about this thread is the reminder that /v/-style posting is getting more common here. I hope it's snubbed out before every single thread becomes either >what went wrong? or crying about SJWs or both.

He wrote all of G-Reco himself, at least, so he's certainly guilty on that score.

G no Reconguista was Tomino's triumphant return and deftly reviewed the themes of his previous works, updating them for the modern age and with the development of his own insights a decade on. In terms of overall quality it's up there with (but does not quite exceed) 0079 and Zeta, but while those are more serious it has an upbeat, exuberant tone that makes every episodes a joy to watch. The characters are not slaves to a plot but act, react and interact like living people with quirks and foibles, and the character development is on par with or better than that of Zeta, with Bellri, Noredo, Aida and even side characters like Klim gaining insight into themselves and the world and becoming better, more effective people for it. The same richness of character is brought to the background as well, with even minor/background characters and scenery set in place with loving care - there is a sense that everything and everyone has a life beyond what is shown on screen which imparts the sense of a living, breathing world. The quality of animation is almost unparalleled for a TV series, and while there are moments where the budget has clearly been saved (as there are in any show) the high points are utterly gorgeous.

I personally rate it a 9/10 and it saddens me that there are people who seem to despise it with such vehemence - I'll admit the first few episodes have bumpy pacing (which in fact almost threw me off at the time as well) due to originally having been planned as a feature-length episode, but the rest of the series more than makes up for it, becoming one of the most enjoyable mecha series I've ever watched. Watching it with /m/, even despite the continual invasion of detractors, was really fun and I truly miss the threads we had. Pic related and I think we survived.

>>14638981
The first half of Gunbuster isn't even that good.

>>14640552
>I personally rate it a 9/10 and it saddens me that there are people who seem to despise it with such vehemence
Well, it's not to hard to believe when they get harassed for thinking it's not the greatest anime ever created. Even worse if they mention they prefer Build Fighters and Iron-Blooded Orphans to G-Reco.

>>14640579
>Well, it's not to hard to believe when they get harassed for thinking it's not the greatest anime ever created.
I see way more people getting upset at people liking G-Reco than not liking G-Reco.

IBO, 00, and SEED are the top three Gundam series on the vast majority of every anime watcher's list of Gundam shows worldwide. Nobody gives a shit about UC shows, Build Fighters, or whoever Tomino was.

>>14640552
You forgot to mention the most important thing: every girl is best girl especially Klim

>>14638974

Anno didn't fully find his voice as a director until Evangelion and Misato is best girl

Oshii's only genuinely pretentious movies are Innocence and Stray Dog, the rest of his stuff is what it is and it only comes across as pretentious to a lot of people here because this board has hyper-autistic levels of narrow taste

CCA was fine and Char regressing into a mass murdering dickhead was totally in character

I enjoyed Godzilla 2014 in spite of its significant story flaws

Toku is /m/ and im fine with that even though I dont give a shit about sentai or kamen rider

Macross Plus was good

Tumblr at its worst is a toxic, depressing, soul crushing experience, but I'll still take it over /pol/ at its best because literally anything is better than a board full of neo-nazis and perma/v/irgins

Macross Frontier was meh

But I agree with all this.

I think we need more mecha shows about friendship and unity and how it's cool

>>14638974
calling it "mecha" as a genre is stupid. its just anime with mechs or robots, but it fundamentally has most of the same tropes and story arcs.

>>14640644
As shit as tumblr is, at least it creates original content. Every board on 4chan cries about tumblr while dumping images they got there.
/pol/ creates nothing, and worse, destroys. I don't mind of someone wants to point out something dumb a liberal said for a few keks, but when practically every thread devolves into the exact same shit over and over thanks to /pol/ shitposting while anyone trying to stop it is shouted down by being called a cuck by 14 year olds over and over... well yeah, I'll take tumblr over /pol/ any day.

My favourite irony is that tumblr is full of porn while on /pol/ - POLITICALLY INCORRECT - you'd get banned for it.

>My favourite irony is that tumblr is full of porn while on /pol/ - POLITICALLY INCORRECT - you'd get banned for it.
You are mixing up a sub-board with an entire website
Of course tumblr has more creative content than /pol/ - /pol/ is a political discussion imageboard and tumblr is an entire website with distinct sub-communities, including artist communities. There is an occasional /pol/ drawthread, but it isn't that popular because that isn't what the board is for.
Same goes for your 'irony' - there is a plethora of pornography boards on 4chan because it is divided on a site level into special interest categories and not on the user level into personal interest categories. On tumblr you can run your blog about big asses while posting your opinion on the Brexit, but on 4chan you have a tab on /s/ and a tab on /pol/ because of how this website works

I wouldn't call Gunbuster a bad anime (I used to, mainly just to piss people off), because I enjoyed it for its unirnically good elements like the art, animation, music, storyboarding, etc. So it's good because I had fun with its qualities in spite of the flaws. But it sure has hell has a bad script and sometimes I wonder how many of the people who claim Tomino anime is unwatchable because of "autism" will then go on to defend Gunbuster's below average writing and fundamental misunderstanding of how human beings work.

Fucking Strike Witches had better characterization and more logical plot progression than Gunbuster and it's far more fanservicey while not trying at all to be a serious work of sci-fi (which is somewhat relevant since Anno is a fan of it). But even then I wouldn't say it's better than Gunbuster because all the other elements are not very good. In fact that's what bothers me about Gunbuster's reputation; a lot of its fans are "PLOT MATTERS ABOVE ALL ELSE" types when the show is a fucking mess.

I think what killed its script was the fact that it had an identity crisis. It wanted to have both parody elements and emotional, earnest ones at the same time and that just didn't work.
>>14640948
This is the kind of pretentious "cool cynical dude" statement that makes boards like this suck. Just because the final battle had a slideshow in it because they ran out of time and money doesn't mean the second half wasn't well animated. I don't remember the animation extremely well since it's been nearly a decade since I watched the show, but the fight in episode 5 had some really great stuff in it as did the climax before the "WELCOME HOME" sequence.

More like GX.
0080 still has some guaranteed sales from UC fanboy money.

The only good Macross productions are DYRL and Plus. The original show is bad even for its time, ESPECIALLY after the end of the war. 7 has a fun concept and genuinely good songs that are botched by extreme amounts of padding and overuse of stock footage that makes you lose interest before the half way point when things actually start happening. Zero is trash, Frontier is trash, and so far Delta is also trash.

>>14640892
Let's be honest: /pol/ is just a happening board nowadays, you look at it just like you look at facebook, to find news and laugh at the comments of people that don't have anything interesting to say and will just follow the /pol/ack hivemind, e.g. praising far right or complaining about SJW.

That's probably one of the only good thing about /pol/ or /b/, threads are recycled every days. But at the same time, it's probably why it's less about discussions, more about shitposting/happening. IDs are quite nice too, that would make much more sense to have them on boards like /m/ when you're actually discussing.

>>14641582

ID's were on Operatorchan and they actually kept funposting down considerably lower, even when /news/ was going insane and taking over /k/

TTGL is one of the best mecha anime of all time, despite it being a homage.

Unicorn is pretty good. I still have yet to finish the Tomino Gundams.
I enjoyed Frontier though it's nothing close to a masterpiece but I despise Delta. I have not finished the first Macross and 7 but saw DYRL.
I also like CGI, but Aldnoah's and the new Berserk's annoy living shit out of me.
Big O is mediocre, and it wasn't my cup of tea.
Also Gunbuster is no masterpiece but I can understand why it's so beloved. Anno needs to learn how to manage a budget.
Cross Ange is good unlike Vulvarape which is an entertaining piece of shit.
All the Eva girls are trash, especially Asuka and Rei.

This is not /m/. Nothing but real robots are because supers are basically tokushit.
Which is better, Super or Real and why is it Real? Let's finish the discussion once and for all.
I don't understand this work or character, let's make a thread about it. Oh I forgot to mention that I never watched the proceeding works and only "watched" this one while making dinner, studying applied mathematics and playing video games on another screen (it's the only time of the day I have a chance to watch mecha), also subs are hard for me to read while looking at the pretty moving pictures.
I know Snapfit-Kun personally. He taught me how to build Gunpla and I think you're all way too hard on him.
I encourage people to start watching Gundam in reverse chronological order (it's like diving through history into the past, I like it better that way).
I hate characters who act autistically or self-destructively despite having the benefit of viewing the work from an emotionally detached and omniscient viewpoint and refuse to acknowledge that their experiences affect decision-making or personality. I would have made the perfect choice, even if the outcome was impossible to discern at the time.
Here's your 1-UP, spicposter-kun.
You're just biased against my favorite show and hate it for no reason.
It's just a cartoon, don't get so mad about my opinion. But I'll keep sticking it into every conversation I can.
Stop hating on Carl, Robotech is the reason there is any anime in the US at all. Not to mention he improved on the crappy music in Macross, made a cooler back-story for everything and added two whole new totally awesome arcs into the same show, which makes Robotech like, three times better than Macross by default.
Was it rape?

All Gundam anime is just toy commercials. You can't tell me 00 or IBO look "less like toys" than AGE or G-Reco. This is purely about aesthetics.

They're fucking humanoid robot spacemen walking around with guns, they're fucking toy commercials with horribly written plots.

Also Macross has barely changed in 30 years and Plus and Zero are the outliers. It's always been about the power of music and it's always used music that reflects the current age.

Also JUNNA> May'n.

>mechs will never be real

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as a Mech, is in fact, メカニカル, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Mecha. Mecha is not a genre unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning concept made manifest by the existence of vehicles, military equipment and of course, robots, comprising a full concept as defined by MAHQ.

Many posters use a modified definition of the メカニカル term every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of メカニカル which is widely used today is often called Mech, and many of its posters are not aware that it is basically the Robotech term, developed by Harmony Gold.
So unless discussing Robotech or Battletech please refer to giant robots as "Mecha" and always remember to lurk before posting

They said /m/ not /v/.

That's because it's normal and masculine to think that giant robots you can pilot are awesome. Most people aren't serious fans the way we are, but you won't really run into anyone who goes "No, I hate giant robots beating each other up."

I'd bet a fiver you get huffy and asshurt over gamergate.

This is true, its only flaw is the depressing lack of Diana porn and the fact that Loran's torso is too muscular to be a good trap.

/m/ and /pol/ are natural allies. Sieg Zeon.

Gundam Unicorn is great and I've never seen a good argument here for why it isn't.

There's nothing in Unicorn that makes less sense than some of the sillier Tomino UC stuff which came before it. How anyone can get mad about Unicorn when it literally follows ZZ astonishes me.

Unicorn took a lot of the ideas Tomino put into Gundam and presented them in a way that actually made them clear. Newtypes as a concept was so vague and random until Unicorn expressed the concepts in a comprehensible way.

I often see people say they hate Unicorn because it implies "Zeon were right, they were the good guys!!" but it doesn't. The ending makes them appear more sympathetic, politically, because it's clear the Federation were too hard on them. But ultimately it doesn't change all that much because refusing to grant people independence when they desire it is always a dick move no matter what any secret treaty somewhere says. Zeon still dropped the colony and that was the move that solidified them as the bad guys forever and Unicorn doesn't try to make you feel like the colony drop was justified at all.

The characters weren't memorable and the ways it had to "humanize" them or show something beside embodied ideals were absurd like Marida and Audrey's ice cream and hot dog scenes (these seemingly no-nonsense girls, they enjoy eating). This is a sequel to series where Char could get almost a hundred eps and a movie of screentime so obviously they couldn't compare to OG UC but imo they both miss the appeal of Tomino Gundam and regardless weren't that good.

The icecream scenes were very Zeta. It was just like Kamille and Sarah eating icecream. Sarah was also "no-nonsense" but gave in to feeling carefree for an afternoon.

Once again a complaint about Gundam Unicorn being bad uses an example of something which happened already in UC under Tomino.

>>14644642
I completely agree aside from thinking Full Frontal was not fleshed out well enough as a concept. I shouldn't have to figure out what his deal was by reading a wiki later on.

>>14644481
Why would I get huffy over it? Laughing at those idiots gave me two years of fun.
Remember the "exodus"? lol, you crazy kids and your online "movements"

>>14644831
Everyone remembers Sara for being head over heels for Scirocco and flirting with/affecting Katz (Katz is remembered for himself) so that's not very apt.

She was in the middle of a mission where she was planting a bomb to kill a lot of innocent people when she stopped to have an icecream.

We can argue back and forth with nitpicks about character traits but ultimately the point is "the ice cream scene" isn't out of place or tonally strange for UC Gundam.

>>14644871
It's not in itself, but having solely that kawaii crap to show the character isn't a mouthpiece (hot dogs more than ice cream) is less than UC Gundam ever before had. Previous OVAs, Tomino aside, weren't like that.

>>14644642
I don't think Unicorn is 'great' because it still has too many flaws in my opinion that I'm too lazy to properly spell out after a night of no sleep (just to name a few, as someone mentioned, Full Frontal is pretty awfully handled despite not being a bad concept and the dialogue itself flip flops between being pretty good in some scenes and SORE DEMO at other times), but I do agree with most of the points you've brought up here. I'm a bit iffy on your opinion on its handling of Newtypes, but that's about it.

>>14643700
it's still mecha :^)

>>14644809

Being no-nonsense means that every meal you eat is a joyless slog?

>>14644888
You're putting a hell of a lot of stock into two very brief scenes of lightheartedness into a 7 hour long series which is constantly straight and serious the rest of the time.

Well I am, because you explained why they're stand-out scenes.

Getting excited about food is childlike and cliche means of endearment for anime girls. Mineva shouldn't even be that sheltered after moving away from Zeon.

>>14644974

Then an awful lot of people must be children, for daring to be excited by appetizing food that is offered to them.

>>14645008
It's just street fast food.

It also happened several times in UC before Unicorn
And is your "Unicorn is bad" position really fueled by nothing more than 'rrreeeeeee icecream'?

Kamina is the manliest motherfucker ever.

>>14645173
It happened with Puru, who is 10, and the bizarre Sara episode wasn't really selling her character with that. I can't remember much else. I just don't feel anything for Gundam pilot, Gundam princess and Gundam masked man, not despite ice cream nor because of ice cream.

>>14638974
It's not definitely Decade's fault this time.

>>14645190
Then maybe you should say the characters are dull/uninteresting/flat rather than trying to blame icecream and hotdogs. The truth is icecream and hotdogs is the closest thing anyone in Unicorn does to endearing or fun. Everyone is pretty dull.

I said it first, but I mean I haven't stopped disliking ice cream and hot dogs for being symptomatic. GBF can do it with its meat buns crap, because it's GBF.

Nah. I like robots wherever they come from.

They're both shit.
