What's everyone watching or reading or building? Looking forward to anything this year?Let's keep it /m/-related.
>>22633673Anon, learn to read.When I say "conclusion from episode 27" I mean the conclusion of the romance drama, not that they should've ended the show there.I'm quite enjoying all of the stuff after the timeskip with the racial relations and issues, I just don't enjoy the love triangle nonsense.Stop projecting.
>>22633689>the love triangle nonsenseThat's quite literally the backbone of the show, everything else is just a setpiece. "Bro just develop the characters faster lmao" is a midwit complaint.
>>22633696I would disagree, and assert that the backbone of the show is the interactions between humanity and the zentradi. I do not feel that the love triangle has been given enough legitimate weight to be called the backbone, it's more of the secondary plot.If the love triangle has been confirmed by the staff to be the main thing for the show, then that would be bad imo because it's not written particularly well.
>>22633687Inspectors is a fanservice adaptation of SRW OG2, a fanservice game for people who are fans of SRW, a fanservice crossover franchise for fans of mecha in generalIt is like the last thing you should get into as a mecha newfag (though if you can't appreciate the Obari animation, leave, you will never enjoy mecha anime).
>>22633572Went into Back Arrow only knowing that it was by the same director as Code Geass, but I wasn't disappointed at all. Wish we got more products for the characters and mechs.Ah, part 1 was a treat, hope you enjoy it, Sanada was my favourite. Didn't watch the original but I did watch the og for Captain Harlock. The show was better than the unrelated/potentially-standalone Arcadia remake. From what I've heard about some of the themes of 74 Yamato, I would assume both of us would prefer OG Harlock over OG Yamato, but I could be completely wrong on both accounts. I hope you enjoy part 2, so I might be tempted to pick it up as well.>>22633650I actually was not aware the novels were translated and available on nyaa until now, so I couldn't tell you. The OVA was great, apart from the episode previews outright spoiling you on many things you'd want to see blind. From what I was told, the new LOGH anime with the worse shiny pretty-boy designs follows the novel more closely as well, although that's not exactly an answer to your question. LOGH is a mandatory watch here, and I swear it's not dry. You'll have fun, I promise.
I never really thought about Gundam weapons being based in real life since so many of them are so sci-fi-ish but now that I see the resemblance I can't get it out of my head.Anyone have some good examples of Gundam or other mecha weapons or items that come from the real world?I don't think we need to mention the Re-GZ's AK.
>>22631536That's a psg1.
>>22631425>The rocket weapon seems to be more of a Soviet RPG-2 despite being labeled a sturm faust though.Looks more like the unproduced panzerfaust 250
>>22631342funny thing is the Tallgeese Dober Gun pre-dates the Lynx Rifle.
>>22633261need to update this with a few newer additions like >>22631536 and the Jesta Cannon rifle resembling an XM29 rifle.
>>22631342Dobergun was inspired by WW2 anti tank rifles. like pic rel The M.SS41 on particular
Code Geass has one of the few Amuro clones and it's the funniest fucking one because it shows why Amuro doesn't have clones like Char.
>>22631322I don't understand why won't he switch it up or get new material? Why leave such obvious tracks? I don't get it. He's literally signing his own posts in broad daylight. Why pretend like it's obviously not him?
>>22625752You are the dumbest asshole on this board.
>>22632571Fuck you
>>22625752Suzaku and Amuro are nothing alike aside from being super Ace pilots and even then they differ greatly.Amuro got bodied in early 0079 only kept alive by the gundams armor till about the Ral fight, he's a soldier who wants to limit damage and keep people alive but had no greater goals nor does he have any deep-seated self loathing.Suzaku is an instant ace in the Lancelot able to fight on even ground with skilled enemy pilots like Toudou and Kallen in no time flat. He wants to fix the system from within or rather that's his cover for his death seeking (kinda makes me think of that popular interpretation of Char trying to use Axis to get a final duel with Amuro) he only really has brown hair and Ace status in line with Amuro
>>22626914Best
What was the name of this mech? I kinda forgot, heh
>>22629338Except that Axis absolutely had access to some Zeta Plan data, they have been cooperating and sharing tech with Anaheim for a long time by then. Specifically, the overall design is clearly derived from Zeta but the separation feature is most likely a successful version of what Prototype ZZ Gundam and Kappa/Sigma Gundam tried before ZZ elected to use a normal core block system.
>>22629334Either stolen tech or a backroom deal, possibly both.
>>22633620It wasn't anaheim itself. Anaheim engineers defected to neo zeon. Neo zeon unironically got more tech from the federation and Titans.
>>22633672Yes there absolutely was. Luna Titanium Gamma was invented by Axis before being provided for Rick Dias and following machines. Speaking of, just look at Rick Dias's head sensor and compare it to the Gaza line's. Sure, there were defectors but Anaheim was happy to cooperate with Haman when it suited their interests, which was the majority of Zeta and still a big part of ZZ.
>>22629381Captured is the word.Feddies sent out their best but still couldn't stop the invasion.
Did TTGL successfully invoke the spirit of Getter Robo?
>>22632132>Did TTGL successfully invoke the spirit of Getter Robo?Only if you are an OVAFag, because manga getter (the superior story) has a completely different point and message to the point they are not even comparable
>>22632696>the superior storylmao what story. it's just a pile of shit
>>22632696Anon?....hurry up & put this little low t bitch fag:>>22632701 in his place. He can't get away with it.
>>22632132No, like everything else trigger has done it's a poor mans version of a pre existing series because they can't come up with anything original without ripping something else off shamelessly.
>>22632161Right around the time moot embedded Libera me from Hell on /b/.

Is everything from this series translated?
>>22632553One of Tomino's lesser works.

Sequel announcement any day now, am I right?
>>2263343812 episodes of a faceless self insert having passionate babymaking sex with Miyu.
>>22633438Hopefully they actually traveled around the world for real this time and also flesh out other characters in the meantime
got my animage copy and article is so funny, but i chuckled when I saw this on top

>>22628000Why is their daughter's hair blue
>>22633188Because anime.
Post homage characters, the more obscure, the better.
How about this?
>>22633220IIRC, this game even has Akira Kamiya as not-Ryoma and Shuichi Ikeda as not-Char.
>has two insta-win nuclear cannons>uses hands instead just to send a messageGarrod is so underrated honestly
>>22627601Yeah, as much as I love Gundam X, i didn't like how it made everyone in the main cast survive the war.
>>22626821>Honestly you could probably handwave the realism in a show by having it happen during a desperate situation and the pilot jury rigs some technobabble thing to rocket one of the MS's hands out.that exact thing happened in a western mech show
>>22627601>>22628344>missing the point
>>22607839He's the original NTD.
>>22626821The Doven Wolf and Silver Bullet could do it.

I know no one in this godforsaken place will believe me, but I have been really enjoying how Gotchard does whatever it wants with the episodic shows and the Legend arc. The main plot is ok but the individual stuff it does is really fun for me. An episodic and hilarious KR series would be a nice change of pace for all this serialized wanking.Even as obvious as it is, really like Kaguya learning how to value and trust the people he cares about instead of pushing them away. Really enjoyed giving him some development. Can't wait to see how he plays into the movie with Daybreak.I laughed at how he reacted with the Kachodoki flags, but that's a lame reaction as well, those were Kachidoki's best weapons.Hotarou gonna give birth to Nijigon, bruh.
>>22629877I agree, anon. The episodic stuff post-Platinum debut & some of the earlier episodes were a lot of fun. My enjoyment of Gotchard has increased pretty steadily overall.
Did they show the Dooms Clock getting destroyed?
>>22632910Oh nvm it was blown up together with the villain during the rider kick. Must have missed it because we're seeing from the side for the first time.
>>22628746Houtaro's actor at least has moments where you can see of improvement like in episode 33 where you get more reaction rather than just "brainlessly genki". there's no defending Rinne though, her actress ice an emotionless ice queen well past the time she was supposed to have thawed
Who's your favorite Char clone?
>>22625507Jonathan is great.
Turns out Mineva isn't a Char clone persay.
>>22633005The Shadow of Haman hangs heavily over Mineva's soul.
>>22633009Banagher will forever bottom in bed. RIP sore demo.
>>22633005>>22633011She's not even the only Haman clone
If many mechas are the equivalent of planes, what would be a mecha glider?
>>22622663technically i guess it'd be those strandbeest things
>>22622663nothing useful since going downhill only is a lot less useful on the ground than in the air.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwEWki9H0Ao

>>22622663>mechas you would like to seeMore robots that operate underwater.
>>22632983The Dom and its descendants.I will not elaborate.
Why do Southeast Asians like Tokusatsu?
you know what's even better? they sell toys here.>>22632519that last sentence really is the one that gets me. you enjoy toku peacefully then suddenly you got people who just came to the scene thinking they own everything>>22632610not just toku but mecha shows too
>>22628558Imagine being white or jewish? God forbid american. Couldn't be me.
My question is why do they cause so many problems and act extremely cringe? I remember HJU had a lot of issues with cringy SEAs.
>>22633042Yes Russia v Ukraine and the Gaza conflict are proxy wars setup by super important SEA nations.
