They still have Pierre in the GONNA GET ALL THE GIRLS guy, sort of. Aquarion is a story about repetition.

I'm hoping that this takes all the expectations coming from that synopsis and pulls a Madoka on them, specially since the director has worked on things that aren't outright terrible.

Season 2 was better, if only because it didn't even try to pace itself and amped up the fanservice (no, not that kind)

AzraelNewtype posted:What do you mean not that kind? I meant that it was amusing when it did things like having the maids sing the gasshin song. Also it being 'an Obari show' means that it is going to reuse a lot of his favorite shticks (see: maid punch, although every character being in control of a different limb was better done in Gravion than in other shows I think) I like the guy and all but he is more repetitive than Tomino. Ultimately, Gravion is one of those shows that are better in SRW than on their own, though.

A lot of people dislike mecha on principle for no other reason than aesthetics, which is weird because as I see it they're the maximum expression of anime aesthetics. Why must people dislike what I like?

I remember back in the very first episode of 0079 they showed that Mobile Suits had to touch each other to bypass the Minovsky particle jamming, and later on beam sabers were treated as extensions of the MS to justify the whole yelling at each other while trading blows. The only case of comms encryption I've seen in mecha is (sort of) an early episode of Eureka Seven where they jam enemy communications with music.

Miracon posted:Even back in the 80's, Dunbine was blurring the barely-formed line with bug robots that run on the pilot's aura power. They could also grow to 10 times their size under the right circumstances. Aura was basically Newtypism but augmented, so if we wanted to we could trace it back to 0079 and seeing time itself.

I like how all of it is about the Garuda arc, Janella's arc wasn't that popular if these videos and SRW's Combattler appearances are anything to go by.

You have the first series of OVAs, which IIRC share a cast but are their own thing. Then there's everything else. The movies use the continuity from the show and OVA series 2 I think, but they are really serious and you shouldn't expect them to be more of the same.

onepixeljumpman posted:It's a fine line. Gundam at least has attempts at being deep and political and such, (how effective that is being up to the audience). It takes a special kind of person to watch Combattler fighting a giant dragon monster who's head turns into a blender, or Domon and Rain shooting a giant king to stop the Devil Gundam once and for all and instead of going, "That's loving stupid," to go, "That's loving stupid. But I goddamn love it!" Insert whatever super robot fighting moment you may have into that. See I just don't get that, the love love finger and basara singing aliens to death are what really sold me into SRW and subsequently mecha. People loved the poo poo out of DBZ's genkidama and action anime loves its friendship beams in general, along with fighting spirit equating to actual powerlevels. What's wrong with taking it a step further? GimmickMan fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Aug 23, 2012 |

Original Mazinger didn't age very well. Or well at all. I'm probably getting this if only to show support, because I don't think I can put up with that show again.

I love having Godannar in SRW because I get to play with a giant robot that looks cool, kickass music, and a great web of character relationships. I couldn't stand actually watching it because the mimetic beasts are super dull and unthreatening plus there's tits and rear end bouncing everywhere in nearly every scene. Take out one of these things and the rest will get me to put up with the show, but the fanservice ruins half the scenes for me and the boring mimetic beasts ruin the other.

So let me get this straight, this guy here is trying to look for something deeper than explosions and "conquering the world" plots, yet at the same time is against any kind of gray morality or depth of character because it makes his heroes imperfect. I wish more trolls were on the level of SMG. This guy can't even make arguments with internal consistency.

Guy is a narcissistic sociopath with a jesus complex who insists on martyrizing himself without a care in the world for how people will fare after he is gone. He is a one trick pony, and his one trick inevitably kills him, everyone in 3G must do their best to enable Guy's need to be a 'Hero' by handling the rest of the work. Even Goldymarg, who is entirely a weapon, exists to help Guy keep fighting. Everyone else is a real hero with a focus on damage control and saving lives? Guy? Guy just takes them, and he gets all the glory for it. Meanwhile, the Getter Team loves violence but they employ it to keep the rest of the world safe from dinosaurs/demons/aliens and they do so through teamwork. All members are on an equal level, and while they all have problematic personalities, they work hard to make the world a better place the only way they know: By fighting. Your move, 4chan person.

I was typing up how Guy and Mamoru are a force of oppression and brainwashing in an attempt to preserve a corrupt status quo while the Getter Team are violent criminals given an outlet that helps them advance humanity, helping them find a place in society and even romantic love in some adaptations of the story. Because there is a small chance you're not a troll and your mental gymnastics would be hilarious. But after refreshing I'm going to agree with Paper Lion here and stop engaging you because this is just sad now.

Truly a tragic development for our protagonist, that he is hated by the antagonist, and certainly not one that nearly every protagonist in fiction had to endure. No, woe is upon Mamoru, that not every single living being adores him and facilitates his life. Asking 'what if' does not actually change how the show actually is, you know. Theorize all you want but the show will still be presented in the same way, and that way is that Everyone Loves Mamoru. Frankly, I don't remember if the Sol Lords ever stopped twirling their mustaches and being genocidal assholes while they were on screen, but something tells me that you're greatly exaggerating just how much fault lies in Mamoru for not being able to talk things out with them.

Mecha shows are very shallow as far as science fiction does and giant robots literally exist to look cool and sell toys, legit science fiction skirts morally gray territory you obviously are not comfortable with. Frankly the fact that you relate more to genocidal AIs than to... most people is going to make it hard to enjoy anything. I don't think Mecha is the genre for you, dude, if there is even one.

Clawshrimpy posted:If that's true, why Was I able to enjoy any of them? like GGG and such? Clawshrimpy posted:because I'm just continuing my search to find some anime place where I could fit in at, I guess. You should answer that question yourself, or better yet, tell this to someone who will be getting paid to analyze you because I sure am not. Look, fiction is rarely made with people like you in mind, but giant robots are specially a bad fit, as demonstrated by the fact that you hate most of them and the majority here has no problem with most of the 'facts' you cite as 'bad writing. If you're not going to seek help at least understand this so you can stop shitposting after getting frustrated at watching the wrong shows. As it stands right now, and unless you like being mocked and ridiculed, you do not belong in this thread either. e: and for the love of god stop doubleposting.

Gunbuster and Diebuster are up there in the crazy awesome department. I'm also going to vouch for Betterman even if it is not a super robot show at all because it is part of the GGG universe and actually manages to be unsettling and creepy at times, which is no mean feat for anime.

I didn't even like the early bits of either Gunbuster or Shin Mazinger when I originally watched them, and I still think they're a bit weak. It is the second half of both that made them sit easy on my top 5 of best super robot stuff ever made.

See I personally couldn't finish Godannar because of the excessive fanservice so I'm a little wary about this. But giving the job to someone who has not just a ton of experience but also really, really likes the subject matter is hardly a bad idea.

SALT CURES HAM posted:See the thing is I didn't know Obari did robot stuff. Upon a glance at his Wikipedia page, the only thing he's been involved in that I've actually seen is Detonator Orgun, and I had no clue he was involved with that. Read this and have your mind blown further: http://vanishingtrooper.wordpress.com/2012/03/12/masami-obari-part-1-an-introduction/ I bet Obari would design some badass Jaegers if you gave him the chance. He can toe the line between super and real very well, even if he clearly likes supers more. I really like Gravion and Dancouga but Jaegers would have to be more like Dangaioh and Shurouga.
