Steel Jeeg?

You already posted this on /a/. Also make it to episode 29 and feel the epic win that is Gakki!

>>15169379
Yeah, I meant to post it on /m/. But I fucked up. Damn iPad has been glitching up.

Mecha means machine, so even a toaster is mecha. I think we should have a toaster thread. Perhaps you mean to question whether Jeeg is a giant robot? It is.

Welcome back, my friend. How was the coma?

Or maybe I'm thinking 27, regardless he survives unironically!

Alright then. I'm questioning if Jeeg is a giant pilotable robot.

>>15169412
He's not. Neither are Transformers, but they also belong here.

>>15169412
He might be sitting in a cockpit but hiroshi definitely controls the jeeg body plus the modern sequel anime features a more traditionally piloted jeeg

>>15169412
Well I say it is, it can't do anything without the head, which is Hiroshi. The head pilots the body.

I think I found the entire series on Pandora.tv, but none of the videos will load, the hell?

At least Changeman is steadily subbing the show on Nyaa, the first quarter is done now.

What is a "gakki" and why is it praised?

Gakki is only the best monster of the week in anime history! I'd say in television in general, but topping Zakira from Ultraman 80 or Granzyrus from Kamen Rider Black RX is not something I see happening.

It fought off Jeeeg and lived. Not "it repented upon death", not" it turned good", not "it was destroyed later", I mean outright lived to the end of the show after a direct fight with the titular hero. How many monsters of the week accomplish that shit?

>>15169581
not even sent to another dimension or got amnesia?

Nope, he was still kicking with an army of robot soldiers that can only be killed by umbrella stabbing through the neck (not even joking that happens in a later episode). He's got a fucking ax, a fucking horn with a fucking beam, fucking arm missiles, some thick as fuck armor, what the fuck does this guy not have?

>>15169597
a second appearance. How many more of these do you have?

last macro, I promise no more, I just wanted to share my enthusiasm with people!

this board truly stands the test of time. never change /m/

Mecha is a wobbly term. It can mean any kind of machine, taken in the Japanese sense. It can mean a humanoid or walking/limbed robot, taken in the english usage. It's often used to refer only to piloted, limbed giant robots.

>>15169374
I don't know a great deal about Jeeg, but fusing or transforming into a Mecha is pretty close to piloting it. The essential factor of on-board human control is basically the same.

>often used to refer only to piloted, limbed giant robots
If one is retarded, yes

>>15169374
>I finished episode 1 of Steel Jeeg and I'm questioning if it's really a mecha. Hiroshi becomes the head of Jeeg instead of going inside and piloting it.

Jeeg is a mother fucking giant modular robot. It's 1000% mecha.

best mech I've ever seen.
