Nothing like activist rage for a cartoon show not displaying the entire spectrum of neo-gender norms.
This show could have the two-girls pilot a mech and someone will get uppity that they didn't use a non-gendered and a shemale to represent the glorious and wonderful diversity of humanity in the post-mordern age. :rolleyes:

Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

this anime just grosses me out. last week with the unnecessary grab assing and poo poo, and this week with the loving training cockpit with the girl rear end console. jesus

That was really the stupidest part of the episode. The loving training cockpit has a girls butt in it. How would a girls training cockpit even work?

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
"Klaxosaur" is either a really dumb or a really good translation. I can't decide which.

(Also, I'll admit to having a knee-jerk reaction to this exact trope; it's probably a good idea to reserve judgment and count on Trigger to deliver.)

Heck, the story of Asu-Shu-Namir rescuing Ishtar from the underworld is considerably older than the Abrahamic religions.

I for one laughed at the thinly veiled first time experience comments

Seems like a dumb show with cute girls with mechs so I'll stick with it

Also the transphobic rear end in a top hat can gently caress off

To steer away from that rear end in a top hat and into actually talking about the show again:

I really like the big guy/tiny girl pair in the green and black robot. Unlike everyone else who has some kind of drama or personality problem going on they're just nice and supportive of each other and it's very sweet.

I’m just saying, if you can’t handle a show about aggressive hetero robots powered by wood, it’s conceivable that you will not like a show in which a twenty something buffman rescues the 12-year-old protagonist from monster, enthralling her heart forever, and then marries her later while she’s in high school, IN THE FIRST EPISODE ALONE. Godannar may be the trashiest show I’ve ever watched all the way through, it is entertaining in a certain sense and not entirely in a train wreck way like, I don’t know, Dragonaut or whatever. But it makes this show look like nuanced and balanced examination of sexual politics.

Im thinking 016 is just a massive sub which is why he doesn't get hurt when 02 takes over and pilots the mecha herself. It would be a pretty good twist if him being a milktoast virgin is what makes him uniquely qualified to be 02s partner. Also for being a bunch of death cult leaders those drat filthy apes just hang around in a circle doing admin work.

The training robot is a masturbation allegory with a fleshlight butt.
Girls get to ride a pillow or something.
The robots are mind-controlled in the end.

"When I grow up, I'm gonna be a proper swordsman. One with clothes."
So is the robot a metaphor for sex, or a relationship, or a baby... is the robot your 5000-ton super fighting baby

This show is great. The artificial butt in the trainer bot was hilarious.

The pilot outfits are deliberately designed after traditional Japanese wedding clothes, right?
