What does /m/ think of the Machine Robo franchise? I've

I've only seen Revenge of Chronos, but I enjoyed it a bit.
I liked the early parts where literally anything could happen at any time.

Revenge of Cronos is amazing visually.

Been curious on Revenge of Chronos since I'm a fan of Transformersy Brave shit and it seems to have 80s as hell humans in power armor tearing giant mecha a new one - I'm aware they get upgrades to be on the level of the main sentient bots, too. Is it even all subbed, or do I have to break out the crabsticks?

BARRUL HACKUHZ has a hilarious OP.

You seriously consider Battle Hacker to be enjoyable? I'm curious what you like about it. No trying to be hostile even, it just doesn't have anything I can think of that would be appealing. Nor have I ever heard anyone else say anything positive about it at all.

Chronos is tons of fun though. Bad in all the funniest ways while having great music, over the top characters, and occasionally good action. I great example of a show that's very enjoyable in spite of obvious, glaring flaws.

It's crabstick time, yes.

Blue Jet alone is hilarious.

It wasn't as memorable as Revenge of cronos, but I really like the mech designs and action of battlehackers, and I thought the characters weren't too bad.

You'll definitely like Machine robo, it's kinda like fist of the north star with mechs, complete with robots that act like mohawk thugs from HnK

Is there any love for rescue though?

>>15501661
That alone makes it deserving of a resub. Maybe Discotek might rescue it, if they continue to grab CPM's leftovers after the Dancougar deal.

Revenge of Chronos is my favorite anime that I've never seen. I love the opening, and some of the art is really cool. It seems like it was made by a bunch of people who just wanted to draw cool robots.

Found a compilation of okayish subs for the whole RoC series. Some of it might be off but it's barely crabsticks. Also the eps are out of order but all there.

Sounds cool then, thanks. Between this and Gulkeeva, YT is a strange best option for watching shows in non-crabsticks.

At least as far as the human side of things goes, it was a pretty fun series.

The mecha aspect was pretty underwhelming though. Despite being sentient, the Machine Robos were barely characters. The CG was also awful. The simple rock-paper-scissors finisher was pretty bland.

Thanks to you now Baikanfu's themesong is stuck in my head.

This is odd, since Sonoda did indeed write for SOC and BH before this. Maybe he only does characterization for the robots if humans are the minority?

Then again, the director was never involved with Machine Robo and the only noteworthy sentient robot thing he was involved with was a Medarot episode.

Objectively speaking, it's not really that great. The animation is dodgy and the plot is, at best, kind of stupid.

However, there's tons of cool ideas in there, which is why it's always a nice addition in SRW.

>>15503448
sounds like the mech part of it is on par with exkaiser and fighbird in that regard
