I actually want to watch some cute mecha musume doing cute things. I am in dire need of escapism.
>>15391597
what's more escapist than cute robot toys doing cute robot battles?
>>15391597
Try the manga out. Only a few chapters are out/translated but its pretty fun. It will have pretty much nothing to do with the anime though.Stylet bullying is canon across all forms of F.A. Girls media though.

In BD sales, definitely. It exists to spread awareness of and push the model kits and related merchandise though. Remember, the Busou Shinki anime sold like shit but demand for the figures skyrocketed and pushed the after market prices through the roof.
>>15391516
It won't be as kino as the BS anime

>>15392774
No. You have to mail order the old Bushin bodies in Mk3 format at Plastica, not Koto.
Should be starting now
>>15392887
It's almost over.
It's more of a hobby anime than Build Fighters, has them talking about how to build kits and Gourai's cannon can't shoot straight because it wasn't built right.
They also promote the God Hand Kotobukiya nippers.

>>15393870
I don't know if CR and/or Funimation or Daisuki are streaming it, but apparently Anime Network have it licensed, and they do hardcoded yellow subs I think. They had Urara Meirochou last season but GJM used proper TV rips and subbed it.
Hopefully some group will pick up FAG, but otherwise you'll have to settle for "720p" and yellow subs, which really aren't that bad. Though I suppose some people feel they fit more with older shows, which I can understand.

Busou Shinki had some of the most random world building. Shit was great.
I miss the ball joints.
>>15393135
It's off to a pretty good start. It'll probably have more battles and less world building though, for better or worse.
>>15394650
>Busou Shinki had some of the most random world building. Shit was great.
I'm still mad that they didn't at all include the GitS level crazy sci-fi cyberpunk themes that the games explored.
Tiny robots serving as suicide bombers, rogue AIs hacking into weapon satellites, artificial sentience and all that shit was thrown out of the window.
I never watched the OVA, did it have any of that?
>>15394039
They're not expensive, Bandai stuff is just ridiculously cheap because they own their own factories in Japan (Shizuoka). Everyone else has to outsource to China which has been jacking up prices non-stop for years.
Frame Arm Girls
1st episode is already out.
> The anime is basically Busou Shinki with the fighting mechanics of Gundam Build Fighters
I like it.
>>15394684
> I never watched the OVA, did it have any of that?
Somewhat.It had Shinki piloting giant Shinki designed for military purposes, at least.
>>15394684
>>15394770
> Tiny robots serving as suicide bombers
The anime did have military Arnvals running anti-terrorism drills, so it was hinted at.

>>15394593
Gourai gets attention because she's the first and thus the mascot. Hres gets attention right now because she's the new hotness, and also the most expensive FAG to date.

That FAG stole the ride from those little soldier dudes.
They ride those like vehicles so for them that is a huge FAG.
On a serious note a vehicle with a mech form that can be driven by small figures AND used by the bigger ones as armor? That is brilliant. Can't wait for that truck combiner thing.

The FAGs all seem to have relatively inexperienced VAs but they seem to be doing a good job so far.

It would probably scold you into saying you should get the highest quality of folded steel nipper that is Kotobukiya.
Also, I'm surprised they didn't go into talking about how to properly apply decals and paneling.

King of FAGs.
>>15397746
>>15397754
what?
sorry I was genuinely curious since these look like shinkis but you build their parts?
Are they compatible with shinkis?
>>15397797
They're Kotobukiya's Mecha Musume versions of their Frame Arms line of original mecha kits, and yes you build them, their armor, weapons and other accessories.
They are compatible with everything Kotobukiya puts out more or less, don't know about Shinkis but as with everything in this hobby, if you have the will and skill, you can make it happen.
>>15397797
It's Frame Arms Girl. Which is a bunch of concept mecha musume based off the Frame Arms line, which are Kotobukiya's concept robots. IIRC FAGs are a bit bigger than Shinkis. The anime is basically like the Shinki anime if they were kits instead of prebuilt dolls.
Koto had prototypes of Shinki kits like a year or more back but somehow it never came to fruition. I have heard a story, which may be bullshit but I believe it, that Konami backed out of the deal and took the rights back because they got asshurt Koto was working with Kojima on something unrelated. Masaki Apsy thought this would happen because Konami is scum and he knows it, so he had Megami Device prepared as his backup just in case Konami pulled this sort of thing.
>>15397797
No, but I believe they are compatible with regular Frame Arm kits which share ports and part sizes with many high grade Gundam kits.
All three as also complimented by the M.S.G. weapon line.
>>15397807
>>15397808
Thank you guys, are shinki's still popular on the aftermarket scene or did konami piss that property away by now?
asking since I have a bunch in storage and in their boxes and lets just say its not acceptable to display them at my age.
>>15397819
Since the Shinki anime the aftermarket price of Shinkis has gone up literally 400%.
>>15397816
I love how the Frame Arms actually lives up to the name with the frame being compatible with fucking everything, something that certain IBO suits failed at sadly

expensive as always
>>15397819
Kotobukiya was supposed to be making Shinki kits but the prototypes they've shown off at Wonder Festival haven't progressed any in like a year and a half. Rumor is that Konami is throwing a tantrum after Kotobukiya announced they were doing a Frame Arms kit with Kojima's guys.
>>15397865
Bandai just wanted the Frame Arms / Girl audience with IBO kits and their Super Fuminas that they keep putting out. They're failing.

I'm not sure where it's being streamed, can't find it on Daisuki, but Sentai has the rights according the end of my torrent and they seem to prefer yellow subs as IIRC they also used yellow subs for Girls und Panzer.
>>15398018
cool, that's good to hear
>>15398018
Architect basically has the same engineering as stylet except better wrists.
>>15398031
It's being streamed on theanimenetwork.com which is the streaming platform that Sentai runs.
Coloring on the delivery drone kept making think of this thing
>>15398076
My only grip with the drone scene was how lazy this scene was.I wonder if the Crow is going to be a recurring antagonist after all the FAGs get delivered. Or will the drone keep coming back to drop off accessories
Whoops, forgot the image.
>>15398041
The better wrists are easily the most massive improvement of the whole line, though.
>>15391516

Isn't it supposed to be Stylet firing?
>>15391516
If anyone's interested in taking a challenge...
(The only translation you need to know is that you have to use a cement that is 100% solvent to melt the plastic. Not something with solvent and filler.)
>>15399040
Can you use acetone to do that?
>>15399159
Plastic cement is acetone-based. You need the strong stuff though in order to melt the plastic hard enough so that it is sculptable.
>>15399186
A different question since I collect figures and know jack shit about Gunpla, plamo and adhesives.
I had a figure break, and have been searching for what sort of glue to use with PVC. I'm been REALLY apprehensive of using anything for the local hardware store. Because with my luck, I'd up causing the figure to melt like pic related.
tl;dr version, what glue works with PVC?
>>15399201
This is very far out of my element, I would recommend asking gunpla general. I know nothing of PVC.
>>15395742
But Gourai was such a shit machine that was barely combat applicable.
>>15399207
They wouldn't know either. I keep asking /buyfag/ in /a/, but they just direct me to their guide that doesn't have anything on just gluing parts.
>>15399210
Is that the lore from the Frame Arms kit or what?
>>15399218
This seems to have some good data. It is good to draw on others' experiences.
https://myfigurecollection.net/blog/9969
http://figurefixer.blogspot.com/p/more-about-adhesives-glue.html
There are some suggested specific brands in there. Superglue seems to be OK if it says it is safe for PVC, but it does not seem good for big jobs, only small ones because superglue does not bond to plastics too well.
>Her name is Kotobuki Bukiko
They aren't even trying to be subtle.
>>15391516
>People on /a/ are actually contemplating getting into Gunpla and Plamo after seeing the first episode

Cute girls really do bring in people like no ones business.
>>15399258
The mascot character has been out there WAY BEFORE this show is on air.
>>15399329
Same thing happened in the early build fighters threads and even the GuP threads got some people into plamo and devolve into model discussion occasionally.
Plamo is a hobby that a lot of people have an interest in but just need that extra little push to actually try out.
>>15399258
>>15399335
Looks like she got a shitload chestier, though.
>>15399258
>That titty bounce

>>15399335
I was aware she existed, but this is the first time I saw her actual name.
>>15399336
Makes sense for Build Fighters and this since they are explicit made to get people into the hobby.
GuP is kinda unexpected in that aspect as far as i know.
>>15399336

Holy fuck I hope they buy some cheap gunpla to practice on first so they don't jump in balls out and fuck up a 50 dollar FAG.
>>15399228
>Is that the lore from the Frame Arms kit or what
Yes actually. Gourai was complete shit with balance issues and horrible aiming. Styjet was teh first successful Frame Arms robot for combat and Baselard was the first successful Frame Arm robot against the invaders and the robot that prompted them to use Hresvelgr=ater which in turn prompted the earth to modify Baselard into Zelfikar.
>>15399544
There have been a few decent anons steering some of the newbies towards revive rx78s or barbatos kits
The FAG Gourai kit is so ass. I really wish that Koto had put out some sort of RE Gourai or some shit like they did for their earlier Frame Arms. I get 'Nam flashbacks thinking of the FAG Gourai and its awful seam lines, horrifically engineered neck and pelvis, dog shit wrists, general fragility, and how you can't even have its cannon straight.
>>15398353
Imagine the potential of it being a package assassin.
>>15399575
The ED teases the Gourai Kai kit there's been concept art for. It'll probably come up as an upgrade for Gourai partway through the show and get a kit release around the same time. I'd guess a November/December release if it's meant to be a surprise and they've deliberately avoided showing off any prototypes, or sometime next year otherwise.
Gourai Kai's art shows her being able to be built as regular Gourai but with better engineering, or you can add the extra parts on to make her look like a revised model.
>>15399575
Rumor has it that they are making a Gourai Kai based off the lineart made a while back and the anime seems to be supporting this as the rifle they make in the ED is the one Gourai Kai uses. I'm guessing they are going to follow the modeling 101 stuff and have Aoi get into modeling and slowly upgrade Gourai into the Kai across the series.
>>15399590
Nice. I can't wait.
>STOPPU
>DON'T BE A FAG

>>15399618
No, it's a new original design. I do want a Zenrai eventually, though, for dat cloak and chuuni crossgun.
>>15399625
You're thinking of Zenrai Assault type.
Zenrai is the the Sand Brown chainsaw-gun variant.
>>15397680
Way better than Berserk's CGI
Are the FAGs the only figures/models that come to life?
I'd like to see a FAG verses my collection of Robot Damashii. Should I get one and create a battle royal diorama?
Man, I need to put my FAGs together one of these days. Have almost all of them but haven't put one together yet. Also have a bunch of other Koto kits too that I never put together. Only one I put together is Danboard and Yotsuba.
>>15399849
Can I buy them from you if you decide not to build them?
>>15399826
That's not exactly a high bar to reach.
CG's still better than expected.
>>15399605
Either that or it'll be announced as the secret kit with volume 4 of the bluray.

The GuP bait Japanese companies did was HILARIOUS. One company claimed their kits were made for beginners but it turned out they were ancient moulds from the 80's that are as hard to build as any order military kit with new decals, and they printed the new instructions wrong so following them would LITERALLY make it impossible to complete the kit.

Am I the only one that's a bit sad that the first media version of Frame Arms is FAGs, and not the standard one?
I just wanna see them cool mechs in action, without tits and ass.
Blasphemous, I know.
>>15402224
By my understanding, FAs weren't all that popular until they came out with the FAGs, so it's only natural.
>>15402224
>without tits
But they are all flat.
>>15402224

>>15402232
They were picking up a bit, I think, mostly because the quality started going up to near Bandai levels. They're certainly popular enough now that damn near everything just got a Renewal rerelease.
That said, I'd hazard a guess that you're right in that the FAGs are way more popular. Koto probably has Konami to thank, actually: doing the Busou Shinki anime to drive up demand right after cancelling the Shinki line left a huge demand for mecha musume figures, and FAGs came out at just the right time to fill the void. Thanks to being based off the FA line they already had fucktons of compatible accessories and expansion parts, and the MSG line really is where Koto gets your wallet. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of FAs rose in popularity just to be used for kitbash materials.
>>15402244
And Konami fucked up that opportunity completely so Kotobukiya is taking full advantage of it.
>>15402276
>doing the Busou Shinki anime to drive up demand right after cancelling the Shinki line
How do you fuck up this badly?
>>15402276
>I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of FAs rose in popularity just to be used for kitbash materials.

>>15402283
Konami finds a way.
>>15402276
>Koto probably has Konami to thank, actually
doubt it
FAGs would've taken off regardless of the existence of the shinki anime
>>15402331
They would have been popular, sure, but don't underestimate the value of free marketing. The effect the anime had on aftermarket Shinki prices was catastrophic, and it wasn't like there was any competition out there.
>>15402335
still doubt the effect was in any way relevant FAG
the mecha musume concept is popular enough that the marketing would've had minimal impact
not to mention that the demand for the AGP line didn't increase despite being a similar concept
FAGs stood on its own merits as cute girl model kits
>>15393870
>not preferring superior yellow subs
>>15395117

Why?
>>15402335
The FAG Gourai was basically the most talked about plamo ever when it came out.
>>15402354
AGP was garbage and outdated by comparison.
>>15402516
Kotobukiya can thank Konami for killing Busou Shinki, because otherwise its designers wouldn't have gone to work for Kotobukiya and Masaki Apsy wouldn't have been able to make Megami Device as a Kotobukiya product. Now in the little robot girl marketplace, you've got FAG, AGP, Assault Lily and Aoshima's upcoming Valkyrie Girl line (pic related). As it's been pointed out on /toy/, by cancelling Busou Shinki, Konami has brought about a world in which multiple companies make little robot girls, like the Busou Shinki universe itself.
>>15402587
I thought Assault Lily were just girls, not robots.
What if Bandai took the gundam girls AGP designs and released them as model kits?
>>15402279
Considering how quickly they buried their own attempt at stuffing Gradius with girls, is it really surprising?
>>15402601
Bandai would fuck it up. This is the face that haunts my nightmares.
>>15402587
I heard Megami Device was made because Konami sperged out and revoked the Shinki rights from Kotobukiya, and this is Apsy and Kotobukiya's revenge.
>>15402603
You mean Otomedius, the one with Mine Yoshizaki designs?
>>15402587
Holy shit I need this in my life. Tell me more. When is this expected to roll out? When are the preorders going to go live?
>>15402606
jesus christ how horrifying
>>15402612
It's really sad because I absolutely love the articulation on megami devices, but I wish they could've been shinkis. megami Fort Bragg never ;_;
Oh well, at least I still have the shinki

Anyone here agree with me that Konami is shit?
>>15402830
They have basically become the most hated company in gaming.
>>15402864
Worse than EA?
>>15402587
>by cancelling Busou Shinki, Konami has brought about a world in which multiple companies make little robot girls
doubtful
the current trend is actually not so much robot girls but objects anthropomorphized into girls
IF fag has to thank another franchise/company, it's kancolle more than bosou shinki/konami
the shinki line has been around since around 2005 yet only fairly recently has other companies got on in the game
it's not like konami monopolized designers as evidenced by the lack of a standard look and even scale of the shinkis
other companies could just as easily have contracted designers
bosou shinki being axed had very little influence on the current trend
>>15402621
Yup.
>>15402947
Meanwhile, Mika Akitaka did armored girls since before it was cool.
>>15402920
Nobody cares about EA anymore. There was a time when they were all the rage but now they can't make anything other than flops and pure trash that sells like garbage, it's kind of amusing. It's been a long time since they've given a good raping to a favorite series.
>>15402954
Mika Akitaka designed the Sky Girls mecha, didn't he?
>>15402920
Son...
Not only did they kick out Kojima and then turn MGS into a pachinko game, but so much shit has come out about Konami recently. They are basically the evil frat from Animal House.
They literally will punish employees they don't like by demoting them to jobs cleaning sports clubs and other kind of ridiculous hazing, so you have 10 year company execs who say the wrong thing or piss off the wrong guy and then they're asked to clean toilets and anybody who speaks to them is similarly punished and shunned. They will also destroy long-running successful franchises simply because they don't like the guys who work on the series personally(MGS, Castlevania).
And from what I've heard they've emotionally scarred people who work with them. Like Masaki Apsy, who apparently gets triggered and bitter as fuck when Konami is brought up because they just treated him like an absolute nigger.
>>15402639
Nobody knows when Valkyrie Girls are going into production yet. Aoshima hasn't even released any prototype photos. I should point out that based on my experience their Bubblegum Crisis kit, Aoshima's kit engineering could be worse than Kotobukiya's.
The thought just occurred to me that Valkyrie Girls could fit into the Macross universe if they were Meltrandi wearing Valkyries as armor.
>>15402612
Megami Device is based on ideas Apsy had for the next generation of Shinki, so if Busou Shinki was still around, Konami would have sold them pre-assembled and called them MMS4 bodies.
>>15402247
Who would want to date Xbox-tan?
>>15402974
>They literally will punish employees they don't like by demoting them to jobs cleaning sports clubs and other kind of ridiculous hazing
This is really common in Japan in general. It allows them to basically force people to do menial shit endlessly or quit. If they quit then they don't have to be paid worker's compensation as if they were fired. I'd be willing to bet Konami does it more than typical but hey.
>>15393854
Yes and It will also be very queer
>>15394738
>It's a brainless plotless copout of my favorite animes with stripped panties showing all the time
It's strike bitches level of waste of a good plot.
>>15402690
yeah nah
bandai's got potential
if they somehow incorporate that tech they used for the figurise busts they could pose a stiff competition for koto
>>15402920
EA has done more damage to the gaming industry as a whole, but like >>15402958 said it's been a while since they completely destroyed a smaller game company like they used to. Konami's shittiness has mostly affected themselves, but it's much more recent.
>>15403061
>plotless
>waste of a good plot
you're contradicting yourself
how can one waste a plot if there's no plot to waste let alone tell if it was good or not

bait?
>>15402947
FAG and megamis have Racaseal koto kit to thank for the popularization of musume model kits.
Pre-built stuff like AGP or shinkis are fundamentally different because you don't build it or mod it. People went fucking crazy with the Racaseal kit, lots of modding went on. This was the birth, not shinkis, not AGP.
>>15403098
Potential waste of a plot.
It's gonna go down to being cute and awesome with panty shots then there will be no story asides ocasional DBZ style tournament in wich the first FAG discovers she's a super queer FAG and reaches super lesbian power to win it.
And next season will be the same thing but somehow the fate of the galaxy will be at stake.

FAGs don't need pants
>>15399547
God, I'd kill for translations of the FA lore. Or at least scans of the Modelling Masters book.
I just noticed the FAGs were built with a intelligence of a 10yo and is as flat chested as one.
This show can't be saved from itself. Fanservice has claimed another show
>>15403147
I don't know why you hate it so much but you could always paint leggings on them.
>>15403167
Fanservice is what made the kits fly off the shelves in 30 minutes
>>15403147
Pants impede the leg's natural range of motion thus hampering tactical mobility. If you want to fight at full potential, you're going to have to ditch your pants.
>>15403173
Yes but did it needed to be the pedos
I wouldn't mind if they were at least able to do teen drama rather that hope her buyer isn't a molester of FAGs
>>15403147
just spray paint the thighs and claim they are wearing yoga pants.
or if you are shit and don't thin your paints, claim they are wearing jeans.
>>15403180
Because they pay the big bucks for cute robo-girls

You don't need pants where we're going.

These Mecha girls evolved a lot since the original ones
Its a crime that we never had an anime with the Gundam girls

>>15402587
>FAG, AGP, Assault Lily and Aoshima's upcoming Valkyrie Girl line (pic related).
Volks is also going to give it a shot, but their original mecha that go with it are kinda shit. Overall posability seems pretty lackluster on top of that.

>>15403422
>Nobody's reposting that Takashi Murakami-sculpture
>>15402594
Yeah that guy got it wrong about them.
They're still /m/ though because they pilot robots. And the robots and weapons are designed by one of the SRW artists.
>>15402606
>>15403076
They're already making these as kits, no idea what the fuck is up with Fumina. Even the new Axis Angel version still has that derpface.
>>15403614
>no idea what the fuck is up with Fumina. Even the new Axis Angel version still has that derpface.
It's because Bandai primarily markets their kits to 10 year olds, even though the majority of the people who actually buy the kits are probably 30 year old gunota. Kids are apparently too stupid to waterslide so you get those fuck ugly stickers for eyes which look horrifying on the Fumina because instead of just one sticker over a blank face, they go on top of a separate clear plastic eyeball. They also made the Foominer huge so they could recycle the GM Cardigan stuff and refuse to change the face since it would require changing the mold.
I have seen all the stuff Japs have done to try and polish that turd and pic related is as good as it gets.
The petitrise and figurise stuff looks much better though, but Bandai is about cheapness so who knows when they will make another mecha musume kit. I think by then they will have learned, though.
>>15403637
honestly pic isn't half bad, any idea how they pulled it off?
>>15403648
Paint.
>>15403655
shit that's it?
I might give fufumimi a shot some time, if only as a challenge and because I have a soft spot for her from the animu
>>15403675
You were warned.
>>15403614
all they need to do now is scale the faces down and put it on an articulated figure kit
I'm trying my hardest to resist the temptation of getting into FAGs since my kit and figure displays are already too cramped, but Hresvelgr and the upcoming GaoGaiGar FAG are not making it easy.
