I agree with this and since my original statement has been decisively debunked I would like to request a title change

I think we can all agree anime is trash even as we wallow in our love of anime-adjacent Battletech/Mechwarrior

Thunderbolt
Axman
Catapult
Crusader
Hellbringer
Jagermech
Tempest

I guess xemu works pretty well these days so you can play mechassault but that's about as close as you're getting to mechassault

With mods and playing coop with some bros it can be fun but it's repetitive and has strange bugs an issues. It's enough to scratch the itch from tiem to time

Nah there are other good gundams, War in the Pocket is imo one of the best mech media joints ever made

But you're not wrong that there's a whole lot of garbage

iron blooded orphans is pretty good, although the back half of the second season sucks despite having the best op

unicorn is boring rear end, though

Mad Cat is a much cooler name than Timber Wolf. And don't even get me started on why they call it a Mad Dog when Vulture is the perfect freakin' name for it.
