>Is it an underrated title?
It just kind of is. Some people love it, some people hate it. It's mostly just a fun show with surprisingly great CGI mecha combat animation.

>>15652486

Sigh. So S2 never is what you're saying...

>>15652491
It did well enough for a movie. How well the movie did in the box office and in BD sales will determine whether it gets a S2.

I liked the show from the first episode, not sure what your problem was.

It's not underrated though, seeing as it's very commonly listed as what is currently the best mecha show of the decade. We don't talk about it much because there's not much to say. It's a pretty by the numbers series that wouldn't have been out of place in the 80s aside from animation. But that's kinda refreshing in an era where everything is trying to be wildly different no matter how stupid it ends up. Nonetheless, it still probably gets more threads than the vast majority of shows that aren't part of a larger franchise. Here's a thread we had not even a month ago

I love it. Perfect example of a show that doesn't do anything NEW but knows how to do everything right. It's just really nice to have a show where the drama isn't from everyone acting retarded.

Also it has best girl Kei.

It's gotta be hard being that wrong about best girl.

>>15652479
>I've only been browsing this board for a short time but why do I never see Majestic Prince brought up?

Because the show is over? We talked about when it aired.

Unlike now where we avoid talking about currently airing things.

>>15652523

Damn. As a committed crossboarder this is actually the first time I've felt bad for not checking the archive first. My bad.

>>15652543
As far as I know, the only competition it even has in that regard is Fafner Exodus. There's some others that a few people like, but I can't think of any that has the support that MJP and Exodus have

>>15652621

I mean, what is there currently airing to even talk about though? Gundam Thunderbolt and Yamato come out far and in between. ID-O is not everyone's cup of tea either.

>>15652626
This is what Hiraifags actually believe.

>>15652610
>knows how to do everything right

How can it do everything right when it doesn't do anything at all?

>>15652626

Sidonia, Build Fighters and Unicorn as well. I'd throw Buddy Complex in there but I don't think I'm gonna get an support.

>>15652643

might have a claim as well*

It appears that our resident shitposter @1562636 showed up to complain about Hirai and ANN there too as if anyone on /m/ likes either

It has a standard generic plot that doesn't really have all the twists and turns that modern mecha shows need to retain viewers, which made it lose the general audience. Combined with >Hiraishit and >CGshit, it's a perfect example of an easy show to shitpost without any effort.

>>15652642

You mean besides tell a fun story with likable characters and good action?

>>15652756
>Hiraishit

Ive been saying this a lot but Hirai's alright in my book. His work on Gundam Seed was shit but that was more a result of not being allowed to do anything with the characters beyond make them look pretty for the audience. Scryed, MJP, Ryvius and Heroic Age. Dude's got some winners under his belt beyond gundam

>>15652756
>It has a standard generic plot that doesn't really have all the twists and turns modern mecha shows need
So basically you're saying it wasn't edgy enough for you?

>>15652767
I don't necessarily disagree with you railing against the Hirai memes, but Heroic Age is not a show you should be citing in his defense.

Scryed on the other hand is a fucking gem.

>>15652756

So you wanted Valvrave?

>I've only been browsing this board for a short time
Answered your own question, /m/ never shuts up about how good it was whenever talking about the last good modern mecha anime or how to use CG right in mecha anime. /m/ liked the series enough that they subbed the movie themeselves knowing that nobody else would. And we'll still waiting for it to get into an SRW that's not mobage shit.

>>15652904

Seriously what's the hold up. I want my bunnies in a game. It wouldn't even be hard to put them in.

>>15652904
We must've been browsing different /m/s, because what you've described is closer to the opposite of what actually happened. Like most things, MJP was relentlessly shit on for merely existing, just like every other show mentioned on this board.

Pretty much the only thing /m/ agreed upon regarding MJP was the CGI action being good, and even then people bitched about the choreography and the framerate.

If /m/ suddenly thinks MJP is great, then that's a newer development.

>>15652924
>We must've been browsing different /m/s, because what you've described is closer to the opposite of what actually happened. Like most things, MJP was relentlessly shit on for merely existing,

We must have because what you're describing was at best one shit poster. Like was said we had a stream for the movie, it was awesome. We had people doing the sub work for it here.

>If /m/ suddenly thinks MJP is great, then that's a newer development.

Or you haven't been paying attention.

>>15652955
I wasn't browsing /m/ when the movie came out, but around the time of the series and in the year or so after people still shat on MJP, and it wasn't just a couple of shitposters.

People would argue about the quality of MJP relentlessly every time a thread popped up with the same fervor they do for whether or not Zeon was justified for doing Zeon things.

I was genuinely surprised to see the lukewarm reception to MJP in this thread, and it made me a little bit proud if only for a moment.

Nope. I CLEARLY remember back when it was airing in 2013 that /m/ gravitated towards MJP over Gargantia and ESPECIALLY Valvrave, the shitposting it got was mostly towards its character designs but the main reason why /m/ stood by it was because of its excellent CG usage but they eventually got to really like the characters and how they were written.

/m/ has always thought it was great this isn't new at all. It even has a following on /a/ of all places the board that watches nothing but shitty mecha anime.

>>15652971

I especially remember what a bunch of Asagi fags we where

>>15652971
>/m/ gravitated towards MJP over Gargantia and ESPECIALLY Valvrave
/m/ would've gravitated over a time-lapse of a rock over Gargantia and Valvrave, Anon. Detractors of MJP post-broadcast said the same things that people in this thread have said about MJP, and it's not just the character designs people criticized.

Look, I like MJP. I understand that you want to believe that /m/ genuinely loves the shit out of MJP, but the reality is that people were just as happy to shit on this series as they were other shows. MJP just got shat on less because it's actually decent by most standards. Threads these days are quieter mostly because this board is fucking deceased.

There is only one show that comes to mind that /m/ was more or less totally in agreement about, and that was Aldnoah.Zero.

>You have to really wait for time to let things even out.
Fair enough. I guess MJP just needed a few years before people got their shit taste together and accepted it.

>>15652479
It was a shitty show overall.

>/m/ would've gravitated over a time-lapse of a rock over Gargantia and Valvrave
I dunno there was a lot of Gargantia fags here back when it was airing but there's actually more people willing to defend VVV now then there was back then due to Valvrager's antics

>Detractors of MJP post-broadcast said the same things that people in this thread have said about MJP
Not really. Honestly there's just not an an aggressive campaign against it like there was with many recent mecha shows so even if it did have its detractors there's nothing in the show to get autistically angry about or to rile up its fanbase with so you're just wasting your time. GBF was pretty much the same way and you cannot deny that it was well-liked here despite the BUILD BABBY shitposting that was rampant while it was airing.

>and it's not just the character designs people criticized.
The character designs and Tamaki are the only things people had a problem with or at least the only things people ever brought up outside that you had people calling it "generic" because it stuck too its roots and villains one-dimensional which didn't really bring down its quality.

>I understand that you want to believe that /m/ genuinely loves the shit out of MJP, but the reality is that people were just as happy to shit on this series as they were other shows
I'm not sure why you're so adamant on trying to prove it wasn't liked until recently when we have people in this thread saying otherwise even then you can check the archive to way back as 2014 and you'll see it still had a positive reception . Things get shat on here constantly who cares it doesn't really change the overall board's reception, GBF was also shat on here but it was only a minority since the board as a whole loved the show enough to send a postcard on twitter thanking the staff for making it, m/ liked MJP enough to stream and then sub the movie (meanwhile nobody here even bothered to sub Yamato 2202 had to wait for the CA release)

>>15653053
>you can just check the archives
I mean, I would say the same thing to anyone else, but I was there. Regardless, see >>15653015 Not really worth arguing about whether or not /m/ liked or hated something, because trying to generalize the opinions of a board of anonymous users is a waste of time and ultimately we're just playing this shit by ear based on our perceptions of posts we witnessed. Even more so because of the way the population of the board has changed over the last couple of years.

Also as much as I like the MJP animation, the fight choreography did leave a lot to be desired. That, I feel, is a legitimate complaint. They could've slowed down the action a bit in a lot of battles and it would've been just as good.

Yeah, Ill see it as a valid one. I think they where trying to avoid the standard pew pew cut away we see in so many gundam to the point where they over relied on spin cam

that said there where a lot of moments where it paid off and it did steady out as time went on. The Clyne fight was glorious and it only got better in the movie

RE: Creators which we don't even have threads about, and Tomica Hyper Rescue which admittedly doesn't have subs.

>>15653053
>there's nothing in the show to get autistically angry about or to rile up its fanbase with so you're just wasting your time.
It's not like that every stopped shitposting efforts. The exact same thing applies to Active Raid and we still have that one dumbass on a crusade against it for no apparent reason

>>15652629
There really isn't.

2017 is legitimately one of the worst ever years for mecha in that there is virtually no full on mecha shows this year.

Only things we have which qualify as full mecha shows are Gundam Tbolt 2 and IBO S2 which just finished, Twilight Axis which is what 3 minute shorts? Knights & Magic which is another of those badly written isekai LN trash series that are flooding the market. Tomica Hyper Rescue is basically a full on kids toy commercial so is kinda straddling the line.

ID-0 qualifies but kind of is a oddball and may not appeal to many people since robots are more like avatars here. We should've had FMP but that was cancelled and delayed to god knows when. Yamato 2202 which whilst legitimately /m/ doesn't have robots as a focus which rubs some the wrong way.

Some shows which get discussed don't really even qualify as mecha like Symphogear, Frame Arms girl, Digimon tri which fall more into other genre's but just get a pass because they have mild /m/ elements and are liked anyway for reasons beyond some.

Then you have complete shit like RE: Creators which some try push as /m/ just because of a single character despite the point of it is to dip it's toes into every LN trash genre. If it was decent that'd be fine but it is a pure cringe show.

This is pretty much the year you should be catching up on old /m/ shows if you have downtime because there is very little current /m/ of worth this year you couldn't cover in your lunch break.
