Never heard of this before, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Back again, just realized that this Tristia of the Deep Blue Sea is made by the same team who created Gadget Trial, which belongs to the same company that created PowerDoLLs. Looks pretty interesting.

heh, I remember this from when I was doing research into every obscure mecha-related anime I could find. It was thanks to that I was able to recognize it when I stumbled across a Tristia artbook in a used Japanese book store.

Not a whole lot of mechanical drawings in it, but still. Tenzan is pretty neato.

Sorry for the shit-quality pictures. On the chance that I feel not-lazy, I'll try to get some good scans.

Gadget Trial was actually referenced in the 4th game of the loose games that make up the Tristia series - the "E Series Kai" was being developed in the universe, though it might just be a non-canon cameo joke

>>15705923
That particular artbook (and only that one) does actually have pretty good existing scans.

Sorry, my Japanese is shit

Reminder that translations never because the faggot mods banned the only translator who wanted to do this series for no reason.

Fun fact

That's the first ufotable production

Does this golem think maintenance is the same as molestation?

It's been noted, yes.

>Nanoha
>Nanoca
Even the name are almost alike.

>>15708914
Really? What did he do to get perma-banned?

>>15711439
>>15711462
Doesn't this VN predate Nanoha?

>>15712557
I think the last thing he did was post Johnny Spaceboots and something about Harry Potter, but I think that was the "Straw that broke the camel's back" rather than the actual reason he was banned.

>>15712671
Nanoha was a side character in the VN "Triangle Heart 3" (not a Magical Girl yet) in 2000 and I think the fan disc which introduced the concept was in 2001.

>>15713033
>>15712557
He wasn't permabanned, he left because some mod kept banning him for no reason for nonsense reasons and he just got fed up with it.

He was banned for posting spoilers in spoiler threads he started at least twice (I was in the PXZ and Masou Kishin ones), and for some other retarded reason during the Scramble Commander LP.

The last ban that made him leave was for a spaceboots thread, yeah.

>>15715026
That's indeed retarded. I too would've fucked off angry over such a treatment.

>>15715122
It didn't help that he was extremely childish. One of the most annoying things he would do is spend half a thread putting down translations without saying what's wrong with them. Apparently, it's wrong if he's not the translator.

>>15715135
Well nobody and nothing is perfect sadly.

>>15715135
He always explained everything though? Where are you even getting this nonsense >>15713033 ?

>>15715137
That guy is just shitposting.

>>15715135
sup moonon

TE may have been a crazy raging lesbian but she always wrote pages of why people were wrong. You still butthurt about getting told?

>>15715122
He was also stalked/harassed by some butthurt autist(s) who shitposted every time he was mentioned and even kept it for ages after the guy had left.

https://desuarchive.org/m/thread/14005150/#14008485

>>15715026
Pretty sure she got Masoukishin threads disrupted by bans twice. One was when the Famitsu review troll started shitposting and she replied to him, and then for some reason she got banned and the Famitsu review troll went on to shitpost the entire thread forever with no repercussions.

And when I reported the Famitsu troll I got warned for abusing the report function.

>>15712671
Nanoha's VN predates her VN.

>>15715122
What's really annoying is that the mods on /m/ do this sort of stupid shit while letting actual shitposters run free, Valvrager has been going for fuckingYEARS now.

Didn't they ban Kiminozo guy and Chen too?

This series has enough fans that Kogado still sells merch, why haven't they made a new one or remake?

This is a very cute girl.

I will watch her OVA

Too busy keeping Power Dolls alive?

Since 2016, they've been bringing 1 game per year to English on Steam, so I guess there's a slight chance.

The last one actually had to be redrawn for HD though I'm of the opinion that the art somehow became worse, so I'm not sure about Tristia's chances if that has to happen.

Eiji Komatsu (駒都えーじ) - though there's an animator with the same name that I'm not sure is supposed to be him.

If you want to look him up to see if he done any more mecha designs, you'll probably be disappointed because he spends most of his time drawing Mecha Musume instead.

They even hired him for an SRW spin-off and not have him design an original unit, which is kind of a missed opportunity.

>>15716948
So, tenzan is his only original robot design?

There's a couple of other robots in the Tristia series too, like Huckebien which you can see in the OVA link.

I think he does a few incidental Robot designs here and there, like this thing from some Japanese TCG called Ange Vierge

He's also the artist of Planetarian.

Are any of their mecha games in english?

>>15711439
I bought Tristia many years ago probably because of that resemblance and because the robot looked cool

>>15717890
>Are any of their mecha games in english?
Yeah, the first PowerDoLLs in DOS

I feel it kinda aged though when you've played the later ones with a bunch more features.

SRW DB had it.

Unless something happened that I'm unaware of, Chen's last two posts were "going to be here for the summer, man it's hot" and "wow this is extremely hot here".

Speaking of Power Dolls, is there a surviving torrent of the full game series?

>>15741142
A lot of games were missing for a long time, but someone on /vr/ said he uploaded a full set over to isozone, so you can try looking over there.
