Octo1 posted:I like SKL and I think it's silly that any of you are complaining about the plot when they've barely had time to tell us anything yet. The show is three episodes. We are one-third of the way done with it. They've had plenty of time to give us any reason at all to care about this poo poo, and don't really have that much time left.

For the most part, studios in Japan pay to have their poo poo aired on television, and most of the anime that people actually watch/like around here air super late at night because they couldn't afford real timeslots. Ad revenue definitely exists, but it's not likely to cover the broadcast fees on top of the production costs, particularly when sane people are asleep (not that sane people in Japan actually watch anime mind you).

Toei produced the series, so this is another of those direct release things like HnK/GE999/Harlock. They apparently either cropped it to 4:3 or lol are horizontally squishing it though, since it's definitely a widescreen show. Now, why Toei would bother with this is another question entirely.

You mean when they replace the somewhat interesting but now villains with awful, awful caricatures of them and it relies on the worst attempt at comedy that Japan has ever committed to celluloid? Yeah. Anyway, I get that when you say Voltron everybody immediately thinks of the Golion guys, but I just finished Golion last night and started Dairugger XV today and I have to say, Dairugger is a better show. The animation is certainly more even and less derpy, and even when Dairugger Sword is a win button, it does more than fall from the sky and bisect the enemy with the outstretched sword and then call it a day. The greatest crime a robot show can commit, after all, is boring rear end robot action, and an awful lot of Golion episodes had fights that were clearly only inserted because it's a toy commercial so we have to have the robot do something.

Dre2Dee2 posted:"LET'S VOLTRON!" It means the people writing this have watched Golion, where before forming they always cried "LET'S GOLION!" Unfortunately they didn't learn the biggest lesson from the uncut version, in that it's okay to shut the gently caress up for more than two seconds (the whole thing with Keith calling off what is being formed when is inserted into silence in both Voltrons). I get that this poo poo is now tradition, but it's irritating.

Zwei is basically the second half of the show, not really a sequel. Also no, not really. I mean there are worse shows, and I've even watched some worse shows, but I definitely don't feel better for having seen it, and would not feel worse if I hadn't.

ADV still has Mazinkaiser. They haven't been shown to have Armageddon in any meaningful sense, but technically it's probably more that it's a waste of money to reprint it than that they lost the license. Nobody picked up New Getter Robo from Geneon's steaming corpse though.

Captain Invictus posted:Goofy filler lines by the dub crew are absolutely unacceptable. ugh. UGH. A throwback to those goofy lines 25 years later in a new version of the show? How. Dare. They. There are all manner of ways to reference Voltron (and they are) without bringing back the thing that was added by the dub crew because the adaptation staff thought you were an idiot and would get bored if people stopped talking long enough for the combining to happen. This isn't goofy filler, it's a straight up insult that should have died in the 80s.

A combining robot show where the component bots are actually competent on their own? Heresy, give me some more Golion where any fight that doesn't begin with combining is essentially just wasting your time.

Shin Getter comes before Go, though it was printed after. Mazinkaiser and Grendizer aren't directly related, and don't really fit together.

Grendizer was always a Mazinger sequel; Kouji is a major character even in the TV series that gimps him to TFO duty, and Testuya/Great join them in the manga. Mazinkaiser was made up for SRW much later, initially by exposing Mazinger Z to Getter Rays, though they've played with it since then.

In older news, White Base has bequeathed unto us, a non-terrible release of the Mazinkaiser movie that was never licensed for whatever reason. Though then again, ADV kind of shat up the OVA, so maybe this is for the best.

It's sort of the exact opposite of that. Mazinger Z gets its rear end handed to it in that movie, but in this one Mazinkaiser is so utterly overpowered that they had to write it out of the first two acts, so it can show up and utterly wreck everybody's poo poo immediately, ending what would have been the Great Mazinger series in the first conflict.

Oh... these subs are actually kind of terrible, and the video isn't that good looking either. At least it's not TV-Nihon I guess. Edit: Holy poo poo, these are super bad. The only positive thing is that they're softsubs, and don't have tedious effects all over the place. Edit 2: Okay, this is some HK level bullshit. I'm sorry I linked it.

I don't know why there's even debate. The full title of the show even calls it the Z Chapter, which pretty much implies that there are more (that will never be made because nobody watched/bought the drat show).

The reason the rights aren't available is that the Yokoyama estate wants it that way. You straight trippin' if you think trying to get the original source material version is going to be easier than the Super Yokoyama Wars version from TDTESS. Willing to bet the 80s Tetsujin and Godmars rights are both entirely held by TMS as significant derivatives that licensed the original bits (and hired Yokoyama to write in the case of Godmars).

Non-HK/Hacked up subs for all of UFO Robo Grendizer are now available. If you don't have an account on bakabt with good ratio you can't get it just yet (of course neither can anybody else since the poster isn't seeding the loving thing) but it's finally been approved at least.

Mercury Crusader posted:Wait, who did these subs? Did somebody work on this till completion and then released the whole thing at once? Some rear end in a top hat did it and started selling DVD-Rs. This release is somebody stealing these illegal (and far from perfect, but better than HK) subs and slapping them onto video. It's probably not the world's best release, but it's much more watchable than anything that's come before (if you only speak English).

BitterCharisma posted:I've been playing some SRW games as of late and one of my favorite robots is the Dancougar, simply because it deals a lot of damage most of the time. However I am curious about the show itself. Is Dancougar and by extension Dancougar Nova good or do they lose steam in this day and age? Dancouga Nova (no R in either) is typically referred to as Gravion Drei. Given the last couple pages, I think that says all you need to know.

Giant Gorg 1-6 subs now exist, courtesy of the people who finished out the VOTOMs oeuvre, and something else I'm forgetting now. Of course this poo poo was licensed ages ago, and the only reason we're waiting on these fansubs is Japan hosed up during that process. Thanks Japan.
