SKL was just boring. The entire first episode was a lot of style and flash, but without any substance. Having ridiculous excess loses something if there's nothing behind it. Mazinkaiser doing Equilibrium gun-kata fights is vaguely amusing, but it was amusing in a way that wore out once the first trailer was over, let alone the actual show. It's not the Worst Thing Ever but it's really bland and boring despite trying so hard to go for excess and tribute.

Broniki posted:The lack of G Gundam hurts more because it's the only AU series not being represented in this game. It would also mesh well given the amount of post-apocalyptic mecha series on the cast list. This is only part one of Z2. It's entirely possible G will show up in Part 2. Dolphin Fetus posted:I heard a rumor that this game wouldn't have voice acting, as retarded as that is for a SRW game. Please tell me I am horribly misinformed because oh my god I want this game. I LOVE my psp Voice actors have already said they are working on the game, so yes, it will.

A lot of mecha anime is really bad. Really really bad. At its heart, mecha shows are basically superhero shows, and they tend to run into a lot of the worst tropes about those but with even less explanation. Even heavily military stuff falls into that. I like robot shows for a lot of the same reason I like superhero stuff, but I also dislike it for a lot of the same reasons. Even as someone who absolutely loves and plays every SRW game, it's pretty hard to deny there is an incredible ratio of poo poo to Good, even for people who have tolerance for wacky anime antics.

Dr. Fingerguns posted:Even though Gunam is a real robot franchise, where exactly does G Gundam land? It has about enough attack name shouts and BURNING PASSION for me to almost consider it to be a super robot series. Anyone agree? Real Robot/Super Robot is basically a meaningless classification. It used to mean "military robot" and "magical super science robot" but even those have basically mixed together at this point. You have military robots made of super metal and magic engines that tank laser shots like nothing and super robots which are dodgy or weak defensively or whatnot.

It isn't like the show is subtle about Drill = literal and figurative manhood in pretty much every sense of the word. G-L is many things but subtle is at the bottom of the list most of the time. (Which makes it weirder when it is subtle.)

Getter Robo Armageddon isn't bad but the fanbase has honestly started overhyping it in response to Gurren-Lagann fans overhyping G-L, resulting in a chain reaction of people being gigantic assholes to one another. Admittedly that sort of describes the internet as a whole.

Tae posted:Put me in a camp that didn't like the 2nd GL movie, especially the final fight. Felt it way overstayed its welcome, while the series finale version ended it perfectly. Yeah, I hated the hell out of that. The final attack in the original show was pretty much pitch-perfect. Making it longer and more boring added nothing.

Captain Invictus posted:Yeah, I need to see Geass, though some very poorly-tagged spoilers have ruined some of it for me, I do hear that at least the first season is excellent. The best way I can describe Geass is that the first season has problems and the second season has Problems. It has the Guren though and that fucker's basically one of the best robots ever so hey.

wielder posted:That reminds me...I'm actually looking forward to the new Geass side story OVA because the chronology and tech level are going back to somewhere between both seasons, which means more room for ground combat instead of everyone just flying around. To my understanding I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope for that staying at a ground-focused techbase. Supposedly Lancelot and Suzaku show up in episode 2. Maybe it'll be a surprise.

I don't know. I'm pretty sure "they brutalize a robot-girl who looks all of 7, including a skeletal shot of her jaw breaking, followed by her flying off with a pantyshot" is just flat-out gross even if it's played for wacky comedy. There is grosser stuff out there but this is still pretty gross and disappointing to see instead of a legitimate attempt to do a good show.

Dancouga is just not very good. It's mostly pretty dull mixed with some mind-numbing dumbness and none of the characters are very likable. I gotta agree that GoLion is basically the most forgettable boring show in the universe if not for Voltron.
