It's not really terrible and has a cool soundtrack by the same guy that did the music for Evangelion, but it's just kind of there. It got ejected from the 'official' time line because Shoji Kawamori had nothing to do with it and kind of owned the storyline by the time Plus and 7 came around.

I've never seen the movie but the series is only like 6 30 minute episodes so it's not the hugest time investment anyway.

Musics cool though and has that big band sound Sagisu often adds to his soundtracks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHFUGs5EdoE Very Evangelion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcGItOnV1iY

That looks uncomfortable but since it's apparently called Bondage Choir I assume that's the point.

Most, if not all, mecha shows are about conflict and when your stance can be either war is good, bad or poo poo happens, I'd rather they went with it being bad.

Motto posted:I'd also add that Majestic Prince is worth giving a shot, though it's not particularly exceptional in any area aside from CG. It's exceptional for not falling into the Valvrave trying to be Geass/edgy as gently caress trap. Rinne no Lagrange is fun enough if you want something with cute girls and robots and pretend the second season doesn't exist.

Parallax posted:I watched Macross Plus and it was super cool. Are there any other super short OVAs with mechs? (Aside from Giant Robo and Gundams) Orguss 02 is pretty good and you don't need to have seen the original series at all to enjoy it KO Century Beast Warriors is a fun early 90's parody of a bunch of robot stuff but might be kind of hard to find now Super Atragon isn't robot mecha but stars a 60's super science submarine instead e: and an awesome soundtrack by the same guy who did Giant Robo Sakurazuka fucked around with this message at 08:28 on Oct 26, 2015 |

CommissarMega posted:Welp, that seals it. If I wanted to watch a Macross series, where should I start? Good: original Macross (if you don't mind 80's animation), Macross Plus, Macross Frontier (best watched in that order) Some people like it but it's at least 20 episodes too long: Macross 7 Bad: Macross 2, Macross Zero

On the other hand Macross Plus is the best in the series, doesn't require having watched any of the others and fairly short, so just watch that.

I hope some of the CGI stuff isn't final but otherwise I was pretty happy with it, and also have no idea what's going on.

Kingtheninja posted:I watched the first two episodes of Plus, I'm sorry it took me so long to finally check it out. It's really great, but where else have I seen this character designer? The face style really sticks out to me, like I've seen it before. Masayuki has done a bunch if stuff but mostly animation direction, the only other semi well known thing he's done character designs for is Doomed Megalopolis, if you've seen that.

Macross 7's problems don't really start until about 10 episodes in and you realise you've been listing to the same four songs play over the same stock footage for the whole time and nothing else has happened. Basara is uniquely assholish and unlikeable from the start though.

I know nothing about the GoShogun TV series, but I've seen the movie which is (not very) famous for being a direct sequel to a mecha show that doesn't have any mecha in it.

You're in luck since they're compilation movies of the original series, with some new stuff mixed in.

It was pretty popular at the time yeah, back when mecha shows still could be (just about).

It was a real show made entirely from stock footage.

That's cool but at the same time the more licensed stuff there is in it, the less likely there is to be an English version.

CGI is good enough now that you don't need rain or dark to hide it but if you had actual trouble seeing what was going on in the first film you may need to adjust your TV/local cinema.
