Is there a remote possibility we could ever go back?

No.

Speaking of fragile, modern Gundam really needs to move away from the hoof-foot thing they have going on. Thankfully Barbatos looks like it has a stable boot but things likethe extreme high heels and the trend towards shorter feet and thicker lower legs often make the proportions very odd.

What series is this and why does everything look like that one wonderland boss fight in Kingdom Hearts?

The Mortarheadds looked cool.
I don't think I like any of the GTMs.

Hoof feet and nonexistent abdomens should not be allowed in giant fucking robots. Having that gaping hole right in the center of an otherwise heavy build machine is retarded.

>>15145505
Why? It's not like you were reading it in the first place.

>it's ok when FSS does it

>>15145505
It's Nagano; of course there is. FSS changes immensely and without warning or much internal sense aside from the fact that he wants something to change in a way that he thinks is cool at the moment.

Remember when he started dressing all the Fatima in sci-fi latex bodysuit hijabs?

It's why I want to like IBO's MS, but ultimately can't. There's a lot of suspension of disbelief I can have for /m/, but the spindly spine holding up the massive upper bodies is something I can't allow unless they make it at least aesthetically reasonable like Nagano (because technically Mortarheadds and Gothicmades don't do particularly as much high-action contortions about the abdomen as IBO MS do).

>>15145635
Your pic is a poor example i think. it's obviously supposed to be a bull so hoof feet are thematic. But fuck having it on non-thematic MS.

>>15145705
Because it's way better executed than IBO, and you would have to be a fool to argue otherwise.

Five star stories / gothicmade

It's been 5 years since this happened and people are still bitching about it?

>>15145635
It makes it look more dynamic.

>>15145778
It's been 10 hears since OMD and spiderfags (nyself included) are still bitching about it

That was explained tho.

I like the GTMs by the way

>>15145816
How? It just looks ungainly and stupid for the amount of weight it has to lift, its purpose as a military machine, and the speed and agility with which it has to move.

Nagano gets away with it because his mecha barely move and because he's ranked his series' setting's internal advancement so high on the "high sci-fi" tree of technology it's more or less magic (alongside the actual freaking magic in FSS).

Part of the reason the Barbatos got high heels is because "it raises the center of gravity SO it's faster-reacting and better under gravity."

Which is exactly why we send Special Forces units into the field with five-inch heels, right?

>>15145863
The bondage hijabs were, but we still need to remember that FSS goes by how Nagano wants; there are no alternatives. Fashion varied WILDLY in FSS, alongside the politics, the direction of the plot, and taken as a whole is mostly senseless (if rather enjoyable).

>>15145758
im talking about gothicmade, you IBOtist

>>15146840
Because FSS has actual variety.

>>15145706
>It's Nagano; of course there is. FSS changes immensely and without warning or much internal sense aside from the fact that he wants something to change in a way that he thinks is cool at the moment.

No surprise considering Nagano's fashion design background, for him FSS is merely a playground for new ideas that reflect what he's thinking in certain times. Without the context of the trends that took place as each chapter was written, people would be very confused by FSS.

For instance, Plastic Style, which came out a couple years after Evangelion, was Nagano's response to the skintight plugsuits.

If there is one thing about FSS that's been thoroughly consistent, it's the themes it presents, and it does take itself quite seriously as a work for the most part. It's much more deep than most of Shirow's manga, where it serves as not much more than his funny mouthpiece on technology.
