Clawshrimpy posted:I doubt it. I know me making that post was a huge risk, no matter how much I try to word myself better, shown how I've been trying to improve on myself after being exiled pretty much to social media, but, in the end, I guess maybe I haven't changed or improved enough. The problem is not the quality of your arguments. The problem is that you're announcing your return to the forums by picking up an argument you left off two years ago. If I didn't already know it was an exercise in futility, I'd advise you to get help - instead, I'll just advise anyone unfamiliar with this guy not to engage, as it will not end well.

If you genuinely want to improve I suggest trying to branch out of your comfort zone and talk about something besides how much you love GGG/hate TTGL.

True, I suppose, but it's rare that there are newer robot shows I find enjoyable to talk about. they're either done in the same problematic style as GL, or they're those real robot war stories I really don't like. And really, Build Fighters Try only held my interest because of Sunrise adknowleding GaoGaiGar's existance. I'm also one of the few people on the planet who actually enjoyed the 00 movie for doing something different than a humans vs humans race war. Even if the ELS didn't have the same depth as the Zonders did.

I mean, I can talk about the last robot show that's modern that I really enjoyed, Heroman? But the most I can say about Heroman is that it's a very...... average show? It does have some legitimately great character moments that remind me of GGG, but it also has some bad things that give me terror flashbacks to GL. Heroman is also a show I felt like would've really benefitted with more character development for some of the cast, and maybe punch of the development of the villain a little. Kogorr was by no means a poor villain, he's certainly leagues better than the Anti-Spiral, but he still falls flat in the end.

Look, I can tell that you're not a bad guy and that you're trying, but this is kind of what we mean. Can you talk about something without mentioning how it relates to your feelings about GGG or TTGL? The entire mecha genre doesn't revolve around those shows. Edit: Do you have some way to talk more privately? I wouldn't mind discussing GGG/TTGL with you, but I don't want to bog down this thread.

Heroman was an alright show I only watched a few episodes of back when it aired. Looked like a fairly run of the mill Bones show of the time in that the writing seemed pretty ehhh, though it did have slick animation.

See his post history in this thread for more details. Basically, the guy has major brain problems that are better suited to E/N than a thread on robot anime, refuses to seek treatment for them, and contrubutes nothing but wall-of-text threadshitting until he's eventually driven off. There's a reason a number of forums have him as ban-on-sight.

If you were to probate for that you'd probably have to go ham on the Madoka thread, and probably other threads.

His post history in this thread is a microcosm of how he posts everywhere.

My extent of Mecha shows is basically GGG, GL, and now I have some Gundam knowledge due to finally sitting down and starting the series last year. Unfortunately, I've hit a lull in Double Zeta because it was the first subbed one and I just can't sit down and watch a 50 episodes subbed anime like I used to be able to in high school. I've been meaning to watch some Getter Robo and Mazinkaiser, but never got around to it.

This is just pissing in the wind but this does get to the point rather neatly. Nobody sees your point of view on those shows because youve clearly got enormous emotional baggage that informs most of your argument. Artum fucked around with this message at 02:25 on Mar 17, 2015 |

I like the dub a lot, and the only thing I miss is how the Japanese VAs yell out the attack names. But that's my only real complaint about it so it's not even a big deal in the grand scheme of things.

I don't need exclusively dubbed stuff. If a show catches me enough, I can burn through episodes like no one's business. I actually did that with the most recent Yugioh show, I think Double Zeta just sort of has that issue where like I think it's funny and enjoyable but not super amazing enough to invest my full attention in. I'll totally try to watch some of the stuff in the OP at some point, because I've always thought Getter Robo looked cool, it's just gonna be a bit. Should I watch the original series or is it pretty aged?

The dub for mazinkaiser is an interesting beast, because it [i]would[\i] be a perfect dub if the voice actors didn't get the emphasis wrong on literally every proper noun and attack name.

The 70s TV show hasn't aged well and I'm not sure there's even a decent English translation to be found.

The original has aged poorly, I feel like the best way to get into it is either through New Getter Robo or Shin Getter Robo vs Neo Getter Robo, and save Armageddon for last. Though since you liked both TTGL and GGG the latter could be a good approach since it sorta has a similar tone to those shows. And it's only 4 episodes so you can burn through it pretty quickly. It's kinda like watching a longass monster of the week series get hella compressed, and that's pretty fun.
