I always loved the mecha episodes of Dexter's Lab.

>There was going to be a game about it but it was canceled

Fuck.

Z-Mind? Never watched it, but it's three sisters.

Fucking hell, I forgot how much I love that game's style. Still no translation, I take it.

>>15558075
Not really, but Something Awful has an LP in their archives, with relevant lines translated, which is the next best thing.

yep

>>15558113
Technically, only three of those pilots are related.

I was so disappointed at the ending when we found out that Prince Jerk was an Armstrong all along too that he didn't get in a STEEEEEEEEEVE before the finale

Yeah

>>15557884
I want a show about an insurance agent who just happens to pilot a robot, and the whole time while he's saving neo japan or whatever, he's actively avoiding the businesses his agency covers so he doesn't have to pay out.

>>15558368
I assume you've watched Dai-Guard?

They're not an insurance company though.
Really similar tone to what I was imagining though, minus the government military intervention, and the company knowing who pilots the robot.

>>15558396
there was an episode of Patlabor with an insurance adjuster

The Dad would die from the sheer amount of death flags pinned on him in the first 10 minutes alone.

>>15558180
they got blood transfusions.

I think they're blood brothers/sister now by default.

I've had an idea for a family mech show about a dad who stole a mech from the army that he used to work for and his family all pilot it; His youngest son who I can best describe as Koji Kabuto from Mazinger Z and Akira Fudo from Devilman, his older daughter who is a tomboy, and his step wife.

The family each has their own goals in mind with the mech and it is influenced by the likes of Getter Robo and Mazinger Z

>>15558337
That's the jankyest hentai art I've seen in a while.

Does a family have to be dysfunctional to be entertaining in a mecha show?

Or this.

>>15558717
Sounds dumb, sorry.

>>15559104
Not really
I really like the Jenius family in Macross 7, and while there's a little friction between them, they're not exactly the Ikari family either

Speaking of which, Fafner has a lot of families that stay very close together and people seem to like it

>>15558073
It's the very definition of generic but it's not awful. It's short enough that it doesn't overstay its welcome.
