my like of robots would've probably started with G Gundam, which had really strange but unique design and Imagawa's usual theatrics. when i actually started to explore the genre, it appealed to me in a similar vein as any other action show, because cool stuff and explosions happen. there's also the fact that the robot heyday seemed to be more in the 70's and 80's, both decades with a lot of burgeoning talent and certain styles/limitations that i really have grown to love.

I wish there was a good model of the basic Guymelef design...they're really cool.

Reds posted:Was there a basic Guymelef, or are you talking about the Melefs, the non-superpowered mooks? apparently I'm thinking of the Alseides (generic Zaibach melefs) though I don't remember hearing that name in the show. certainly not as often as Guymelef/Melef got thrown around.

So this may have slipped under the radar, but Funimation recently picked up Doamaiger D, the retro-styled super robot short from a few seasons ago. First episode is up through their site, dunno when it'll hit Hulu.

i've seen cool gifs of robots/mech stuff from Kishin Heidan, Eiyu Gaiden Mozaika, and Dragon's Heaven. haven't gotten around to them myself, but they're all short OVAs that should fit your criteria

Erg posted:Ana's calling her father for the first time after hearing about the discontinuation thing. Her father seems relieved to see her, but then hangs up the call while crying and says that "Even if the Medaiyu family were discontinued... Medaiyu blood will keep flowing as long as Ana is alive." her dad just disowned her to protect her. he's not really important for the rest of the show, but iirc they don't kill him off or anything. OKG can be sad, but it's not really that dark or tragic.

Majestic Prince announced both a movie and new episode at AnimeJapan. The series is being rebroadcast this July, and the new episode will air at the end, to tie in with the movie (scheduled for a Fall release).

the follow up question to that is at what point does re:creators actually wrap around to being good? because it definitely wasn't in the first 1/4, and i feel like 7 episodes is already a big commitment.

i just posted about it in there. as someone who doesn't really know Mazinger, it kinda sucked on all fronts except for looking nice and having a few good bits of action. also it made me think Great Mazinger is cooler than Z by several miles, dunno if that's common.

i didn't really have expectations going in, but i think i would've enjoyed the fights more if they were like the Asura/Brocken one. just throw a Mazin up against one or a few enemies rather than having 70% of the action just be decimating hordes of the cool weekly monsters from the original series.

afaik you can't catch a theatrical screening of Infinity anymore and i don't see how it could be a letdown when your cost of entry is free or a few bucks for a digital rental. but as a mild mecha fan yeah it didn't do a ton for me.

GorfZaplen posted:For what it's worth knowing your tastes I think you'd enjoy Mazinkaiser more than Shin Mazinger if you're interested in more Mazinger i already have Z Impact sitting around so i will probably get to that one first. i'm not 100% for or against the first episode, but going from that to the pretty low starting point of ep2 is what kept me from ever making progress in that series before.

new Reideen is fully on HiDive, since Sentai did the disc release a few years ago. worth noting that HiDive is about to leave beta and you can lock in the $4/mo sub price for two years if you sign up before then.

gigguk seems to have an issue with doing tacky gags like that, though usually they're just based around dumb things in anime fandom and not anti-lesbian. i find the whole concept annoying because there's definitely a group taking those things at face value, and the ~satire~ of the jokes isn't particularly good in the first place.
