Well, as a counterpoint, I think Demonbane is good as far as Super Robot stuff goes. I'm sure some of the adult scenes aren't very tasteful and there's no option for the "clean" version in English but thems the break.

My main issue with it is mostly an engine thing - there's a lot of repeated content on the 3 routes it has, but unlike modern VNs the engine can't recognize that 99% of the scene is the same and skip you to the ones that aren't (unlike say, the Zero Escape games) so in order to get the entire story you end up doing a lot of samey readings.

Story-wise and mecha-wise it is great, but the PC version is porn and visual novel porn is basically never good. Which is why everything is based on the non-porn version.

It's kind of weird to put SEED Destiny in the same place as them because all of their bad parts are completely different. Demonbane PC is great but has bad porn. Cross-Ange is entertaining as hell but extremely trashy. SEED Destiny is just above-average.

Probably worse in my opinion, considering it's a visual novel and not just an anime.

Playing through Super Robot Wars V right now and I just wanna say that 'Yuusou' from Shin Getter Armageddon's themes is dope af.

'Heats' is also good, and Black Getter just looks so cool.

For real V is what made me check out Getter. When Ryoma and the Black Getter showed up I was like "Whoa who is THAT??" and the show did not disappoint. The whole series slaps so hard

Even if SRW30 outsells all expectations it's probably going to do relatively popular Atelier levels of sales and those gave up the dub ghost a while ago despite have 1/10th as much voiced dialogue as SRW.

I mean "not counting macross" is kind of hard to do because Macross is a major influence on that. Idols and robots go together because Macross made them do so.

Even beyond that it's because the basic themes of mecha go well with an idol style group. Large personality types with their own distinctive marketable gimmicks translate easily from pop group to pop group in a robot. (And vice-versa, which is why people drawing the Wing Boys as musicians or whatever goes so naturally.)

I can't believe they never got into X-Omega, but loving Zombieland Saga did.

Fun Fact: The reason Zombieland Saga got in X-Omega is because Masami Obari personally requested they be added to the game. He's a big fan of the show

Give us a Symphogear game but instead of being based around music idols it is about cowboys and instead of action it is a JRPG. Keep the music.

Give me Star Driver, but make it an original story based on the like 5 minutes of post tv show story we see at the beginning of the movie where the final bad robot has become a tiny fairy companion to the protagonists.

On one hand, I'm happy to have J-Decker and Volfogg who will hopefully get a Buddy Cop story going on... on the other, Patlabor is still stuck in OE Limbo.

And I'm still waiting for Granzort and Fighbird in a mainline game!

Played it, even my love for symphogear couldn't get me to finish it. The queen's blade combat system is just kind of slog once you hit the late game.

I think Terada has mentioned people keep bringing up Vifam to him but he doesn't want to do it unless he can do it right, and it's understandably hard to do Vifam right. I feel like if it ever did get in, it should really do so with Infinite Ryvius, just get both lord of the flies but with mecha shows going on simultaneously.

I think MX was a high point for many as a stand-alone title. Alpha 3 probably another as part of the series.

I'm personally really happy L-Gaim is finally back. I think only like Giant Robo would rival it as my desire to bring back something from the old days. Well maybe Braiger.
