Shazaminator posted:Why they'd want to do that instead of the Shin Mazinger sequel is beyond me though Even a high quality OAV will be cheaper to make than a full season, and the return on the investment is probably higher as well. It may be (hoping against hope) that the funds SKL brings in will be put toward a new Shin Mazinger.

I believe in Kouji Kabuto. That said, I'm not as certain that we'll see a season 2 soon. In ten months or in ten years, however long it takes Dynamic Pro gets comfortably in the black.

If your the kind of person who reads internet threads about super robots then this is required watching: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=933NNS5A The first episode of Chogattai Majutsu Ginguiser has been subbed! The translation is kind of mediocre but it doesn't matter because it's GINGUISER and everyone needs to watch this poo poo right now.

Mercury Crusader posted:EDIT: itt talk about how you successfully got a friend or family member hooked on mecha shows I've been trying to get my sister into mecha for a while, since she does have a large manga collection that is largely full of drivel. Early attempts with Voltes V proved rather unsuccessful, but a later attempt with Giant Robo went well. The sound she made during Alberto's big reveal in the last episode was something between a school girl giggle and the way Hayato laughs when he's elbow deep in a dinosaurs stomach. There's hope for her. In other news, X Nebula, who recently subbed all of Dougram, has just released the first 12 episodes of Galient. It's not quite a super robot, but I thought people would be interested despite that. http://xnebula.blogspot.com/

Regardless of how good/bad the show is, hopefully we'll at least see a few good toys. It'd be great to by a combining robot without having to pay import fees.

I'm going to bring up a post from another thread because I think it's relevant.Guyver from the OP in the winter anime thread posted:01/08 Aquarion Evol This is only half true. The new Aquarion show takes place 12,000 years after the last, but Gen Fudo is still a character. He has a beard now. To compete with the previous Aquarion punching the moon, this show features body-checking the moon. Not bad for a The other super robot show, Lagrange, was also surprisingly good, or at least the first episode was. I wasn't sure about the mecha designs at first, but they look good in action, and the fan service wasn't overbearingly awful. It reminded me of "Mayoi Neko Overrun" episode 7, but with less Yuusha and more WWF. Schwarzwald fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Jan 11, 2012 |

 The first chapter of western super robot comic Robot God Akamatsu has just been released online. I don't know a whole lot about this, but the art looks gorgeous. It seems to have an Aztec motif. RGA' website posted:Robot God AKAMATSU is a valentine to the Super Robot genre of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. Giant robots and monsters attack Boston, and Robot God Akamatsu (RGA, for short) is the city’s only form of defense! Check it out here: http://robotgodakamatsu.blogspot.com/

Gravion is an excellently designed robot. It looks gorgeous, it's combination is smooth, it has plenty of gadgets, and it's aesthetic is evocative of it's many predecessors. It also has a bitchin' theme song. None of that really matters, It doesn't matter how fantastic as the robot is if the actual show is awful. The plot is dead on arrival. The characters are all bland archetypes. Sandman is the only memorable character, but that's mostly because of his voice actor. And, most heinous of all it's sins, the fight scenes are boring. But god drat if it isn't a gorgeous machine.

Shin Mazinger was far from perfect, but it really hit it's stride during/after the Schtroheim arc.

Mercury Crusader posted:Having the entire first episode "in medias res" was awesome and I will not hear otherwise. The first episode is certainly art, but that doesn't mean it is good. It would have made a fantastic trailer, but Shin Mazinger should have started on the second episode. Besides, it wrecks the reveal of the big bang punch.

Miracon posted:But will people keep making jokes about crabsticks? Just because there will be a new, hopefully more intelligible translation, doesn't mean the old one is going away. The HK translations will live on in our memories and backup hard drives. The Discotek facebook page also says that they are hoping to release all of the the original Harlock, Casshern, Polymer, Samurai Pizza Cats (!), and Mad Bull 34 along with a host of others. While I applaud the selection, I wonder how well the translation's will be if they plan to release all of this is a short time frame. Is anyone familiar with them?

Neither have anything to do with giant robots though, so, uh. The SPCs do have a giant robot, and Mad Bull 34 gets in through the Go Nagai clause.
