Post Underrated Super robots, whether it's the show or mech.

>>14761929
It's the reconstructed corpse of Gaogaigar Project Z, of fucking course it's going to be underrated. You can't tease that shit, cancel it and recycle it into something perfectly good in and of itself and NOT expect people to hate it because they're still bitter.

Is that from Betterman or something?

Uh...Dendoh was actually built from the corpse of Baan Gaan, the yuusha game-only work that didn't get an anime waaay back in 1997. GaoGaiGar took over for Baan Gaan for 97-98, and Dendoh didn't show up until 2000.

Where you got the corpse of Project Z idea from I will never know, considering Project Z wasn't even a thing until GGG Final Grand Glorious Gathering.in 2005.

Considering that if Baan Gaan was supposed to be in GGG's place, it was going to get passed over two fucking times in terms of Braves since the one after Gaogaigar was going to be Photogrizer (which has never been in anything afterwards), I feel that the idea of making it into an actual anime must have hit some serious issues.

>>14761929
>Gear fighter Dendoh was a pretty cool show, and Knight gear Ogre is one of my favorite rival mechs.
Dendoh was at it's best when Hokuto was piloting Ogre.

In general, I don't think Dendoh was as good a show as it might have been, but Hokuto pallin' around with the villains was good shit.

Well that explains mattman's interest.

>>14764325
It was enjoyable, but I don't know if I'd call it great.

The attack on the moon was great, and the next arc (up until about when they head to space) was mostly good but occationally great. But outside of that it mostly passable.

The series just has too many weaknesses for me to really consider it great on the whole. The side characters are basically not important. Ginga, who is supposedly one of the protagonists, becomes increasingly less important as the series goes on, until he's reduced to just being a thing that makes Dendoh work.

The mecha action is typically solid for that era, but it really isn't enough to elevate the subpar character drama and dull story. The downside to the Hokuto chillin' with the aliens arc being so good as it just further highlights how everything else in the storyline is just so uninteresting.

>>14764403
I'm still waiting for episode 6 to be subbed!

>>14764419
I think it was pretty good, but it didn't need to go on for 38 episodes long. cause after that point it's filler and the animation takes a nosedive in quality.

>Underrated Super robots
I honestly consider DM Gaiking to be the best (and certainly the most underrated) super robot show of it's decade.

Likewise, Raiking and Vulking are both very underrated super robots--Vulking especially. The poor bastard went from a terrifying threat in it's introduction episode to "the other robot what is standing in the background" from then on.

>>14764325
>>14764380
It's more the non-combat plot went to shit, what with the HokutoxSubaru Shounen-Ai nudging.

And guess what: we all praised kobayashi for her storywork, which ended with the destruction of the spiral city moon base. Guess who took over for part 2? MOROSAWA.

Most people mention it in SRW.

But I love Dancouga Nova Max God.
It's a shame it didn't do a lot in the show but it left a big impression on me.

I also dig the show itself a lot too,and that's coming from a fan of the original. My only issue is that it was a tad short.

>>14762964

The last fight on the moon was one of my favorites of all time. In a way I think sometimes it's better for a show to be short and to the point rather than drag on. Im a fan of the original too but it had some pacing issues.

The spiral city moon base was cool as fuck, but the story was basic shonen mecha faff.

>>14764612
>>14764689
Say, would you recommend Dancougar Nova, to someone who didn't hate the original but found it to be kinda of boring?

>>14764755

Yeah. It's got a more even pace because it's only 12 episodes so it's a lot more digestible

>>14764762
Are there any recap episodes? Because the thing that bothered me the most about it was that it in a anime of 38 episodes 4 of them were recaps.
Even fucking Requiem for the Victims is mostly recap. Was their budget that really fucking low?

>>14764775
>Are there any recap episodes?

No

>>14764775
Requiem was made as the true ending to the series, cause the show was canned.

>>14764689

I love that final fight so much, it's probably one of my favs too

Yeah I guess you can say it's better that it's short, but I think it could have used the God bless dancouga treatment.

I will agree Nova is better, paced since the orignal had a filler gap and the budget went to shit at one point.

>>14764815
>the show was canned
Ah, that explains it. I guess it ended up being popular enough to get us God Bless Dancougar and Blazing Epilogue.

>>14764832

yeah it happened to baldios too and maaybe Goshogun.

God bless is pretty great and easily the best dancouga thing imo.

>>14764837

I never knew Goshogun was cancelled, didn't it have a fairly conclusive ending followed by a far-off movie epilogue?

Nah, Goshogun ended pretty satisfactory from what I've heard.

The OVA followup takes place like forty years later and doesn't even feature the robot--it absolutely it's own thing, and not meant as a conclusion to the series.

>Capcom was just being lazy and didn't think it would sell.

Well the problem is that the game flopped hard as all fuck in Japan. So from a business point, if you lose a lot of money on a game, suits aren't going to think localizing it will make things all better because then you have to spend a lot more money on it while fearing that it flops there too.

It'd basically be gambling, losing money, and then signing up for a chance to lose even more money that can hit the millions out the gate


>>14764368
Also, you can't really compare Phoenix's Word Graphics to EX Troopers'. Nick only had a few so that wasn't an issue. EX Troopers has most of its dialogue like that.

On the subject of shows that were partly subbed before the group vanished into the ether, Danguard Ace!

I remember being astonished while watching the episodes that had been subbed how much Gunbuster borrowed from the show. They have several plot beats in common, from a main character who's Dad disappeared in a space, to a character who is just Coach, and more besides.

I quite vehemently disagree. Oh they where certainly beautifully animated by Tauburn is the worst kind of over powered. It just wears really thin when the hero has no chance of losing. there's no sense of peril.

but not by

>>14769500
It's the show Scott Evil would absolutely hate.
The main character finds and infiltrates the bad guy's base of operations in the first episode and then completely forgets about it and despite living pretty much right next door to him almost none of the bad guys are actually trying to kill him despite having shit like pet alligators and supernatural abilities at their disposal.

>>14769533

The entire series does. There are multiple Erde Kaisers in 2 and 3, although I haven't played those and couldn't tell you what they're like

The one from the first game does 9999 damage to everything onscreen and there are only two bosses that go over that amount

Anyway, it's based on G Elements from Xenogears, which seemed to have a robot for every possible mecha reference it could make, pic related

>Where you got the corpse of Project Z idea from I will never know, considering Project Z wasn't even a thing until GGG Final Grand Glorious Gathering.in 2005.
Probably from TV Tropes, as someone posted that BS about Dendoh being based on Project Z there some time ago (check Dendoh's and GGG's Trivia pages). DESU it sounded convincing until I checked the dates.
Also, Project Z might have been a thing earlier than 2005, since according to Goshou's now defunct GGG site, sometime around the time last episode of FINAL OVA was released (early 2003) Yonetani said in a Newtype interview that there are three more stories to be told... seems he already wanted to continue the series at that point. Still it was long after Dendoh ended.

>and that God Reideen itself isn't too prominent

It's hyped up as this amazing invincible power that everyone wants and the villains are trying to unseal so they can yank its power.

They manage it eventually. It lasts in their hands for less than an episode before it breaks free from their control, kills their boss, goes to the Hell they came from, and kills EVERYTHING IN IT.

The final arc has the thing as the big bad.

>>14769533
>and despite living pretty much right next door to him almost none of the bad guys are actually trying to kill him despite having shit like pet alligators and supernatural abilities at their disposal.

A couple of times they actually do attempt to use supernatural powers to take him out of the game. It never works. There's two legit attempts to murder him, the first eight or so episodes in and the second like 3/4 through the show, and both fail miserably. The first failed because Sugata basically fucks her shit up, the second fails because the upcoming fight had a different villain go "NO FUCK YOU" and go after him because she's a fucking psychopath and her bitch of a girlfriend would die if Zero Time broke while her mech wasn't a thing.

The given reason (which was mentioned like once) is that no one wants to actually break the seals while Sugata is against them because Samekh would win against all of them at once, and because they don't actually know where the second and third maiden are and they're under the impression that breaking the third seal will seal them in Zero Time until the fourth is broken. Which is a load of hooey as it turns out but then all of the villains were being manipulated anyway.

>>14770861
The final battle it had was pretty rad

>>14761929
How was Dendoh underrated? It's boring as baked beans and there's nothing it does particularly well or in an interesting way. They even ruined best mom by making her hot blonde hair a wig at the end.
