Boob chat has made me curious, has SRW ever had the climatic Gunbuster move as something you can do? That and pulling out Getter reactors would be hilarious ways to end stages.

Man, a lot of pointless moeblobs (I think I am using that term right) have come and gone through SRW, but the female lead from Aquarion Evol seems to take the cake. She just looks completely hopeless as far as ever turning into anything at all.

Also, I was wondering, in all of robot anime, is there anyone other than Amuro who becomes an actual adult over the course of a series? I mean, both his appearance and personality changing completely and becoming all calm and settled down.

edit: duuuh, Gurren Lagann I guess. Anything other than that?

Hikaru from Macross sort of has this arc in my opinion. He starts off as a stunt pilot obsessed with a highschool girl, ends up losing lots of people and being in command and eventually sort of settling down with a far more reasonable woman. I'm not sure what his actual physical ages are supposed to be, but it is effectively the same sort of plot in my mind.

I may or may not have asked this before in this thread, but does anyone have any good reference images for any of the laboratories from Go Nagai's robot stuff? I'd particularly like to see some stuff of this place, the image in the article is about the best one I've seen http://mazinger.wikia.com/wiki/Science_Fortress_Laboratory but I know in the animation the colors are different for example.

Also anything like that from Godannar would be rad, or any other cool shows. Feel free to use this as a springboard for mecha base chat.

Hell yeah, one of the first animes I ever watched! Which was kind of a problem since I basically hit peak anime immediately. At least, what was considered peak anime before the modern age of moe. Now its anime level just seems quaint.

Yeah A-ko was probably the first anime I watched knowing it was anime (ie Voltron didn't count). It's hilarious as a total noob to the genre but gets better over the years as you start to understand the dumb references everywhere. FLCL for the 90s, perhaps.

Taken as a series A-ko would actually have more content for SRW than Iczer, probably. Start off with B-ko as a villain throwing robots at you, then the aliens and military machines get involved, the giant A-ko robot, even go nuts and have the sand monsters and submarines from the VS movies. Totally would rule.

So when I blabbed about making up series lists earlier and someone posited 'well sometimes it's better if you just take random shows and make them work out', and because I am an insane person, I basically went and compiled every single show I see as being SRW-able, alongside some Western stuff, video games, and even that Exo-Force thing Lego did a while back because it was as anime as possible.

Here are all 246 of them. Note that satellite series I tagged onto others - i can't imagine who would want to use Mazinger without Great Mazinger if you don't count K, the pre-Zeta Gundam OVAs would be tagged onto one or the other presumably, Astray and Destiny are all under SEED, pretty much anything Macross that isn't 7 or Frontier would be tagged to the original. Usage of a list randomizer would indeed allow for easily making effectively off the wall cast lists should one look at the first or last 10-20 entries there.

Note that results will inevitably include lots of tiresome unnoticed 70s super robot shows, cheesy 80s apocalyptic OVAs, fanservice-crazed 90s OVAs, utterly forgettable real robot 2000s shows, and Daimidaler or Dai Shogun all the time because random.org hates me. ^.^

Feel free to prod me about things that ought or ought not to be on this, I haven't watched the vast majority of these and don't intend to, so yeah. And you better share amusing results.

Godzilla / greater Toho kaiju library and Gamera would be fun / retarded additions.

The western Voltron stuff. Voltron 3D and Voltron Force had new (and potentially interesting gameplay wise) units and pilots. They have a comic going on right now that's a Robotech crossover too with some kind of Lion-Veritech hybrid stuff going on I think.

Any kind of Super Sentai mecha, Kamen Rider ground units, etc. Ultraman. I await the day we get a two-scale game with tokusatsu heros doing on foot infiltration missions while SRW crew fights the big stuff outside the enemy base.

Minmay always sorta annoys me (or maybe it's more that Hikaru does for still trying with her) because she's either dense as gently caress or stringing him along hardcore. Oh yeah we had a mock wedding and went on dates and I wrote a song about my pilot boyfriend but you thought we were a couple?? gently caress that, Misa superiority. Kaifun makes her worse since he's one of those characters that just exists to challenge the status quo of the show and those get really obnoxious when you are, you know, enjoying the show. Of course I'm gonna hate the guy who comes in talking poo poo about the military when I've watched a few dozen eps of the military dudes being awesome.

DYRL was a better take than the TV version probably. And yeah taking her actions as a dumb 16 year old does help them feel realistic but it's still basically a vehicle for the main hero guy to get poo poo on so it grates sometimes.

Although with those two you already have a good start for SRW: Titties Edition I guess.

Based on just this part I want to say Godannar, although it's status as a "must watch" is probably dubious at best.

Absolutely watch Gunbuster though, both for that reason and also because it's amazing and also short.

Looking at the player list from Project Cross Zone, it's a huge shame Megaman never got to be in SRW. (Shut up, Tekkaman Blade got in, Megaman could too). I mean, any of the various Mega Man series coudl easily fit in depending on the game.

I'll just add that to my growing list of "Cool Stuff I'd like to see in a game but never will".

Classic Mega Man and Roll, piloting robots based on their supers from Marvel VS Capcom*. Or maybe some kind of Voltron made out of Beat/Rush/Tango.

Well, in the case of this game, it's just one enemy: titans. They are not characters as such, I can't think of any reason to make them so powerful. In fact, my characters have unique lines against them that are like "I have no time to deal with these low-rank titans" when they are slowly pounding away at my army, despite everyone being clustered together and all with level 3 or so support defense.

That's some serious bullshit then, yes. I agree with you, I have never enjoyed having to spend entire turns on one dude. Especially hate all those fuckin bosses that regen constantly. But grunts with huge HP is indeed pretty awful.
