Time for the annual Heroic Age thread
>>15086561
I wish this show got more love. Bellcross was sweat
Tossing galaxies is one thing, but punching black holes is just absurd.
>There were psychic space elves
>then there were insects that evolved to BREATH IN SPACE
>AND THOSE GUYS WHO ARE SO HARDCORE THAT THEY JUST TOOK OFF AND PUNCHED NEARBY PLANETOIDS AND THE VERY FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE
Along comes the Iron Tribe in their shitty space tubes and the Progenitors say it totally counts.
Honestly, in hindsight, you can see why the Silver tribe was kinda miffed about Earthlings getting a piece of the deal.
>>15086706
t. butthurt Silver Tribe albino
>>15086706
You know what, fuck you and the magic geometric force shield you rode in on. The Iron tribe it's ass off and got to the ass end of the universe the hard way. They earned their spot more so than any one else.
>>15086962
>BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS
God bless Hirai
I still don't quite get why the princess wanted Age's dick so hard, but it was cute
We need more space adventures anime
Posting the only two webms I have.
>>15086969
Really makes you wonder what his original plans for Murrue where
>>15086988
He's space Godzilla Hercules
>>15086969
There was some booty too.
>>15087221
Iolous was pretty bro when he stopped being a bitch. Im glad he got to tap that sweet sweet Anesha ass
>>15086988
Shit, man, Age is a human who also happens to be a giant organic death monster that kills everything forever (except children) who knows in general what will happen before it does because the Gold Tribe basically handed him the script before the show started and who also will do anything she asks.
If you can't figure out why she wanted to jump his bones, you maybe need to think about it a little more.
>>15087281
Telebro best bro, that time he started just teleporting bombs everywhere was the best.
>>15087221
Rare Maya
>>15087030
muh
>>15087947
You know you're an ace when you manage to not be completely over shadowed by a guy who punches black holes
>>15086988
>>15087947
This was directed by the same guy who did Rinne, it'd be shocking if there wasn't a character favored by the plot.
But seriously though, to put it in layman's terms: Jane loves Tarzan.
>>15089309
Can you blame her?
>>15089309
You mean Deianira loves Hercules. The series is a (loose) adaptation of the 12 labors so a lot of characters are named for figures from the Hercule legend
There is some interesting parallels though.
fro example the final labor was to capture and bring back Cerberus and one of the final acts of the series was them trying to rescue Yuti aka Kervius aka Cerberus
Karakinos was named after the crab that tried to aid the hyrdra and his Nodos form is Lernaea for the Lernaean Hyrdra itself. He even spewed poison.
The Argonaut is of course the famous ship captained by Jason as he sought the Golden Fleece. Or in this show's case the Golden Tribe.
>>15089318
Well, that makes sense. Iolaus is the most recognizable one since it's an actual Greek myth first name.
Iolous is obvious. He's Hercules nephew slash side kick slash butt buddy.
I feel like Aneesha IS someone from Greek Myth too but it's not coming to me this second
>>15089339
>Or in this show's case the Golden Tribe.
I thought they were looking for humanity's Nodos?
I take that the Golden Tribe was full of humanaboos.
The planet Elysium's name comes of course from Elysium which is a, depending on the source, version of the Greek afterlife reserved for mortals related to the gods.
>>15089327
Yuti a qt.
Ereymanthos is a weird one. Named for the Eremanthyian boar. Which is certainly big and scary enough to name a monster after but doesn't really have any connection to time powers.
Hercules drove it in the show and then brought to some jerk who pissed himself at the sight of it.
Likely just named to be cool.
>>15089349
finding the Nodos where a step to finding the Golden Tribe.
These assholes Meleagros and Atalantes where named for the Argonaut Meleager and the the virgin huntress Atalanta who was thought to love the former. you might remember her as the chick who couldn't resist the golden apples and lost a foot race.
Meleager was a venerated hero, killed some centaurs for messing with his girl, followed Jason to Hades and was one of the only ones whose shadows didn't flee at the sight of Hercules who was busy working on the whole Cerberus thing.
Oh and he's Dianeira's brother. Still generally a lot cooler in myth than the show
>>15089347
My favorite Greek Myth was the one where Ioalus traveled to a parallel earth where Hercules was evil and Ares was the God of Love.
Personally Id love to see more anime adaptations of various mythology
Thor would be rad as fuck
>>15086706
The entire point was that the Iron Tribe had literally just gotten in to exploring space while the Heroid, Silver and Bronze had all being doing it for a good while and the Gold for eons probably. The ending with the Iron Tribe becoming the new Silver Tribe technologically and having dominion over the Bronze while the Silver leaves the galaxy like the Goldren Tribe establishes that the Silver Tribe probably started off fairly badly technologically too, but just refined and improved their technology to that point over time in the space exploration game.
IRON TRIBE WAS HERE
FUCK THE ALUMINUM TRIBE
>>15086561
Oh wow a non Gundam thread. Well I'll be damned.
>>15090180
> Let me just ignore the 75 threads on /m/ right now that are neither Gunman related or generals for a different franchise and feign surprise that there's a non Gundam thread created
>>15090005
>Gold Tribe was here
>Silver Tribe is a loser
This show forever cemented Hirai tits in my mind
Now I can't watch any Hirai show without a boner
>>15086561
Dhianeila is THE BEST space princess.
I need to finish this show sometime. I started on it last year, but quit after watching two discs, because I had a lot of other stuff going on.
>>15090527
It's a shame Seed gave him such a stigma, I do rather like his work here on MJP and Scryed
>>15090527
Aneesha's ass was great too.
>>15090641
I liked SEED. Destiny is where it shat the bed for me
Neither of which is Hirai's fault I'd say.
>>15090641
>Scryed
wew lad
Now there's a trip down fucking memory lane
>>15090641
>>15090655
Honestly, I've liked 90% of the series I've seen with Hirai's art.
>>15090005
SCREW YOU IRON TRIBE!
The Titanium tribe will rise again!
>>15090675
Tungsten tribe here
We fucked your moms
>>15090697
>>15090675
>>15090005
>>15090521
Festu---GOLD Tribe here
Iron Tribe a best!
>>15090703
Hirai Cinematic Universe when
>>15090705
I want the Ubukata Cinematic Universe just so I can see Rune pilot a Fafner.
>>15090703
Age, Fafner and MJP in the same SRW when. Fuck I wouldn't even mind them tossing in Seed for the obligatory gundam if they had too
>>15090675
>This is what Titanium Tribe actually believes
You guys are worse than Copper Tribe, and they're basically just Cobalt Tribe with hats.
>>15090784
>shitting on Cobalt Tribe's hats
Uncalled for. This is a Rust Tribalist. Go back to being genocided.
What's a Tin tribe idea that never got off the ground?
Their plan to meet the Golden Tribe.
>>15090697
>>15090703
>>15090784
>>15090788
>All these Scuffed Up tribes arguing.
You children all know that the Stainless Steel Tribe is the most perfect compared to all the other worthless tribes.
>>15091112
Tribe? Please, you're just an mixed batch of the other races with no culture of your own.
>>15091112
>not liking tasteful petina
pft
>>15092814
Kanji translation please?
>>15094084
Well that one's just a relationship chart, pretty clear what each line means
Im more curious what these say
>>15089363
I thought it was the super duper awesome island in the middle of greek heaven for people who were especially good in life?
>>15094119
These stories go through a lot of retelling and revisions, even the characters in questions can be wildly different dependent on the version
>>15094119
Isles of the Blessed, I think. Basically Elysium's VIP section.
Why is there just like absolutely zero official art of the Nodos?
>>15090705
>>15090733
SRW UX, the game where Tatsumiya is part of Orb and Shinn and Luna are the Fafner pilots' bizarrely competent mentors.
>>15095703
well there's not ZERO
I already posted Ereymanthos above, It probably got the least amount of screen time of the nodos do to it being an indirect fighter and Lecty prefer to take a more Jojo approach with it
>>15090527
Not an unreasonable thing to do, since everything Hirai works on has at least one girl with big boobs.
>>15090733
On the bright side, MJP may get everything on its first appearance (TV+OVA+movie).
Aneesha has pretty huge tits as well as an ass
;_;
>>15095738
Healsluts a best
Is all kinds of sad ho little new art is out there.
>>15099383
It's all kinds of sad how little old art there was. This show was completely overlooked and I have no idea why. It's filled with coll sci fi, pretty people and the exact kind of crazy over powered monsters that people eat up.
Really on one hand Im glad Bellcross is kept out of power level wanking contests but on the other, well he'd stomp all over a lot shit that gets hyped up
>>15090703
You mean Silicon Tribe.
remember having to put up with 3
>>15099403
Fuck powerlevel wankery, I can't even try and start a demonbane thread because all people know are the memes.
>>15095738
Wew
Man I really don't remember anything about this show aside from the Squid babies for some reason
>>15099403
It came out the same season as Gurren Lagann.
That's why
>>15102949
that was a good ending
>>15102956
so many cool shows completely overlooked that year
>>15086706
In retrospect the Silver tribe weren't really as pissed off about the Earthlings getting in on the deal, that was mainly that one butthurt guy. It had more to do with them feeling like they had been abandoned by the Golden tribe, it seemed like the Silvers had some kind of empathetic link to them with their psychic abilities?
>>15102949
Your loss.
It's one of the few shows out there that tried and was mostly successful are doing large scale galactic space fleet battles with tens of thousands of ships vs millions of bug aliens. The fight scenes were all kinds of fucking great, must look amazing on the Blu-Ray.
https://youtu.be/3vkxr8z3NLI
>>15099403
Funny thing too is by the end of the show Bellcross was easily Elder God Demonbane tier by then.
>>15102956
This was so much the nail in the coffin for the show, when it came out that was a stacked season, Kotetsushin Jeeg was the other big /m/ victim of that season along with Heroic Age.
I think most people don't even remember the godly angela OP.
https://youtu.be/lAtfEu_mPy4
From what I remember Spring '07 alone had Darker than Black, Gurren Lagann, Seirei no Moribito, Claymore, Seto no Hanayome so consider that too...
>>15103021
I wonder what 90s and 80s shows would have been tragically ignored in favor of the one big show
>>15102995
Interesting
