Thread 64334354

Been way too long since we had a space cowboy thread, so post em if u got em

As for me, I still miss that Mateba Unica 6 that I saw for $3k on GB a few years ago. If you’re the anon that bought her, well, I guess take good care of her

>>64334354 (OP)
>$3k on GB a few years ago
Recent look shows they're hitting 5 figures now. How did they appreciate 3x in value so quickly?

>>64334438
There was that scam that renewed interests in them and when the people got rug pulled it spiked demand. Also, 6 o'clock barrel revolvers are starting to make apperances in a lot of media beyond GiTS now.

>>64334438
>How did they appreciate 3x in value so quickly?
The people who grew up watching Ghost in the Shell and Trigun now have jobs and can afford they toys they lusted after when they were kids.

It's the same reason why boomers pay 5 figures for old Colts and Winchesters because they watched picrel when they were growing up

Outlaw Kino

>>64334438
An lgs in California bought them all up and jacked the price since they now control the entire supply
Same thing happened to the HK P7 when the HKParts founder bought them all with an investment partner.

Aisha Clan Clan was my first fictional crush (as far as I can remember).

I find Caster Guns to be a pretty interesting type of weapon. I'm trying to fit them in the Fantasy world I'm writing.

>>64343892
You gonna have an order of gun mages like Cygnar does in Iron Kingdoms?

>>64343892
I can never find a picture of the black knife Gene uses in the show.

>>64344059
The idea I had in mind was more "scattered individual sorcerer-smiths recreating and searching for lost lore" than organized orders. I could see small circles of peers.

god damn I love Outlaw Star

>>64344149
this one? right in episode one when he disables the cyborg.

>>64334354 (OP)
>Killing le bad
Gay

>>64344192
Yeah, the Caster is such an awesome consept.
Oh, this bullet? Yeah, it's just a big bullet.
This one? Well, that's more like a granade launcher.
This one? It makes a weird electro-magnetic distortion that short-circuits everything and burns every electronic nearby.

Oh, This one? Well.. it shoots a miniature black hole what tears space-time to shreds ...and everything that happens to be nearby.

And those are just some of the bullets it can fire. Some of the exotic ones are just legends you never see.

>>64344192
Nothing quite like a Graviton solenoid.

>>64344262
Among some of the finest handguns in fiction.

>>64344210
>>64344223
I could've swore it was all black.

>>64344483
he breaks it on Aisha's steel abs at one point in the episode where he ends up blasting her point blank with a caster shell, so maybe your'e thinking of the replacement?

>>64344192
It's my top 5 anime of all time. The manga is pretty good too

>>64344262
I love both caster designs but the one in the manga was pure sex

See you later space cowboy

>>64344210
I never watched Outlaw Star, is it made of crystal or something?

>>64346902
its just the light reflecting off it in that one frame, its like a black nitride finish.

>>64344938
>Railed
Not the right one.

>>64344182
The guys in IK aren't smiths, I don't think, they're makes that load spells into their bullets so they have them ready to go at a moment's notice and don't have to spend time chanting spells in the middle of battle. Neat side effect is that the muzzle flash is accompanied by glowing runes that show up in the air around their gun's muzzles.

Love me space cowboy revolver.

>>64349911
I haven't fully read Iron Kingdoms rules and lore* and it's been a while since I did that. To use D&D terminology I see my guys being Artificers instead of Wizards or Warlocks.

*(Or crunch and fluff if you prefer it that way. I've noticed some people on /tg/ are a bit weird about that. The terms used to be pretty interchangeable. Did something change while I was away?)

I wish the chiappa rhino didn't have the gay seam.

>>64352358
I wish the unica was still in production

>>64351848
Who knows, I used to post there pretty regularly and I use fluff and lore interchangeably because they mean the same fucking thing. It's like getting mad that someone said automobile instead of car or truck. Also if you go the IK route at all, be sure to give them a cool name like the ones in IK have, they're the Order of The Arcane Tempest.

>>64344192
Shame if feel by the wayside outside of toonami kids and for some reason, slavs.

I loved that show so much back when I first saw it, I used to have dreams of Gene fighting Vegeta and beating him with a powerful caster

>>64334354 (OP)
I know it's fake, but there's just something about this ludicrous P90 rifle that tickles my fancy.

I just wish it was real.

DBZ has some space opera/western elements in it and Toriyama was autisticly into guns

Jew gun

>>64334354 (OP)
this is more glowie core, but still nice. Also its nice to have a female MC that is cool, but I think its because she's basically James Bond in behavior.

>>64361657
i don't think it rests on the sabbath though

>>64351848
You probably just wandered into some random autist. There's at least one guy that just shows up to threads to be combative and angrypost about random stuff. He's in the Pathfinder threads all the time.

>>64356161
Nobody but us was worthy of it.

>>64337931
Extremely cultured taste.

>>64343892
>I find Caster Guns to be a pretty interesting type of weapon.
Agreed, it's one of the better magitech guns I've ever seen in fiction. The design but also the "feel" of it for lack of a better word given that of course we don't actually feel it IRL, but the whole heavy duty loading procedure, single shot nature, the cost, and that particularly with the super rare heavy duty spells that it cannot be spammed and only gets used when it's truly needed were all neat. And while obviously a fictional design it doesn't feel as garishly overdone as many.

>>64344192
I still kinda can't believe that made it onto American TV, getting sucked into a micro black hole where you're trapped for eternity, even shows the screaming horror face on the event horizon. Amazing.

man all these years later and this episode still sticks with me in so many ways. one of the real meaningful quiet bro moments for gene and jim at the end too

>>64360339
Toriyama was an excellent mechanical designer trapped milking a battleslop cash cow.

>>64334354 (OP)
>saw for $3k on GB a few years ago
Man I wish I had found one for that cheap

>>64344245
He does realize it's gay by the end of the show so he learns his lesson.

>>64360339
>>64364454
>Was
Oh, yeah, I forgot :(

>>64364266
That was a good episode. Reminded me of War in the Pocket, but in reverse.

>>64337931
They never had this one at my library when I was a kid. I should watch it sometime.

>>64344514
damn.
so cool

>>64360339
>>64364454
Toriyama was also a MASSIVE Lolicon.

>>64344514
>backwards magazine cus uuhhh.... cus it just is.

Wouldnt work lmao. Weeb fiction is funny sometimes.

>>64371910
wow really? no shit

>>64364223
Twilight Sazuka was the superior woman

>>64372364
YES. THAT'S WHY I SAID IT WAS FUNNY. KEEP UP, CLANKER.

>>64371899
Checked. Yep. Look into Dr. Slump. First good handful of eps of the show, the Dr. tries to get into the pants of his fabricated Robot Daughter.
Toriyama was a fuckin weirdo.

>>64371899
You don't say

>>64334354 (OP)
I kind of want a rhino but i don't know if i want the snub nose or the 4 incher. Its one of the few snub noses i like the look of and i don't like the stupid seam but more barrel is more better yah know?

>>64334354 (OP)
Have a draw. He’s my favorite.

>>64374661
good work, anon. I still listen to trigun's soundtrack to this day.

>>64374671
Me too lately, when I run. Thanks~.

Is the new trigun as awful as it looks?

>>64371899
He was so gifted for drawing mecha stuff, but yeah he was a freak.

>>64375689
So many of the greats are.

>>64375899
>furry
Groooaaaaan. Hate em.

>>64375404
It's a weird prequel sequel reboot hybrid. It's fine and in many ways closer to the manga, which is better than the 90s show, but in the ways it's not, infinitely worse than the 90s show.

Blood blockade battlefront is never mentioned considering it's DNA with trigun and Outlaw star, but it's pretty good. Not very /k/ from what I recall

>>64375984
Yeah, tezuka's a furfag and TF fetishist as well as a pinko and wearer of a dumb little beret but he's alright.
At least he's not a hollier than thou closet perv like Miyazaki

>>64375287
Back at you, thanks’

>>64375404
I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds like the kids now love it. I have a younger brother that age, so even if it hits a little different, I’m glad~

>>64376026
Yuck. Both are fucked. I can seperate and appreciate the art. But the artists are fucked in the head.

>>64376007
Angel links is a weird outlaw star adjacent thing set in the same universe with some reoccurring characters and made by the same guy but it's an adaptation of some other guy's unrelated light novel for some reason.
I really don't know much more about it other than it getting a poor reception compared to Outlaw Star

>>64375984
Snake tits are more /k/ than you are.

>>64334354 (OP)
I quite like Jamiriquoi('s mom's voice)

>>64376063
I really want to know what Kaoru Shintani's deal is.
Why are the people in Area 88 drawn all shojo-y when it's ostensibly for plane nerds?

>>64376064
Yeah I haven't seen angel links, been meaning to for like 20 years now but the reviews and lack of Outlaw star cast has me dragging my feet.
It's like if they released something else in the cowboy bebop universe. I'm sure cool stories could be told but I was there for the character writing

>>64376064
>>64376114
Angel Links sucks. The plot of nearly every episode follows the exact same formula, and it's not interesting:
>Bad guy of the week
>We're gonna fight him.
>Oh shit bad guy is winning, whatever shall we do?
>Better blast him wit the Links Cannon
>phew, glad that worked.
>roll credits

The character crossover with Outlaw Star is very minor. None of the main Outlaw Star crew feature in Angel Links. Fred Luo, the gay weapons dealer appears briefly, which is sad because he's a much more interesting character than any of the Angel Links crew. Duuz (the dinosaur man) and Valeria from one of the Outlaw Star episodes appear, but that's about it.

>>64376182
Oh, forgot to mention: The OP to Angel Links actually is good though, just watch that. It will save you a lot of disappointment.

>>64338555
Some faglord did the same thing to my favorite car, the Toyota 2000GT. There's a collector in Miami who has like 10 of them and they're so rare that's legit most of the cars in the US. I'll never be able to afford one now unless I win the big lotto.

And yes, he actually ruined the market that badly. I talked to an middle age guy with a supra at a vintage car meet whose dad had one and he was completely flabbergasted at finding out they are now million dollar cars because his dad's car sold for under $10k in the late 80s.

>>64376076
You keep telling yourself that, furfag. Keep huffing that copium.

>>64376110
I think he tried to make them "look cool" so maybe it would attract more than just plane lovers.

>>64376076

nta, but furies are gross. git /out/.

>>64361657
>that scaling
How big is Spike supposed to be? That's a full size gun and the width of his palm is such that if you kept that scaling consistent and put the grip in his hand it would be a 3 finger grip like me holding a G26.

>>64376110
>drawn all shojo-y
Well yeah, he was a shojo artist before he got into sci-fi. Also, all manga artists are influenced by others--a lot of the art of that era was inpsired by Leiji Matsumoto's Space Pirate Harlock universe. Shintani wasn't just another artist who might have been influenced by Matsumoto, he was literally Matsumoto's assistant.

>>64375899
Don't forget Sonada either.

>>64376182
>he's a much more interesting character than any of the Angel Links crew
We were robbed of the Fred Luo anime.
It's weird how barren Itō's career is despite clearly wanting to go somewhere with the setting he made for outlaw star.

>>64376233
Shintani wasn't just another artist who might have been influenced by Matsumoto, he was literally Matsumoto's assistant.
Shit yeah now that you mention it's kind of obvious

>>64372582
you are so mad kek

>>64376703
20 days too late, bud. You missed your short bus.

>>64376213
And then they did Shin extensively dirty in the TV anime. Look at this dude. It's just like how they ruined Soma in the aria of sorrow remake.
Can someone explain this mindset?

>>64378288
Just look at this shit

>>64378299
There should be tribunals for this

>>64376232
It happens with the tall afro man and his Deagle brand Deagle as well.

>>64376233
>Sonada
How much of the loli/pseudololi shit and yuri was his doing and how much was it urged by his publisher?

>>64378321
I didn't notice while watching but that screenshot makes it obvious.

>>64375404
>>64376007
I'll be part of the minority that thinks the 90s show is wholly better than the manga for having such a clear message and sticking to it. Manga tends to always run into the problem where it can only escalate and you always get huge apocalyptic world ending big battles no matter what the rest of the series is. Stampede is closer to the manga, yeah, but I would argue that makes it worse. 90s Trigun is such a genuinely good depiction of morality and idealism and what it costs you internally and what effects it can have on society depending on what you believe. DESU Vash in the 90s one is probably my favorite portrayal of a Superman archetype in any media because at the end of the day he still holds true to his values.

Plus the guns and OP are /k/ino.

>>64378667
IIRC after Gunsmith Cats pt 2 or whatever didn't do so well, he literally went back to work on his family's antique candy store. If they got those gummy strawberries like the ones at the mall, I would detour just to visit.

>>64376213
>>64376110
Think of it like Michael Bay but to try and get girls to read it. If you frame all the plane stuff in a borderline porny way, it makes sense that the characters would be drawn similarly unless you are like Kenichi Sonoda where his characters are meh but you can see the fucking seam on the handguard of the M16A2 in Riding Bean

>>64381995
Call me a pleb but I liked riding bean more than what I watched of Gunsmith Cats. Though I like Gunsmith Cats' premise and respect Sonoda personal preference. I just don't really like female focused shows.

>>64376063
> Yuck
Words cannot describe how much i hate these people

>>64376232
Spike is only 6'1. Why do you assume it's a full size 941 instead of the compact or mid models? A 941 compact is within an inch of the size of a G26.

>>64376007
Adding Armor Hunter Mellowlink to the mix of choice 90s anime

>>64376007
Blood blockade battlefront is made by the same guy that made trigun. Also the trigun manga went on until like 2011 while the show was made in 1998(9?) Only 2 years after the manga began

>>64382682
Meant it ended in 2008

>>64382642
Mellowlink is late 80's.
Also why is Mellowlink always mentioned divorced from VOTOMS on /k/?
Is it just because of the old infographic?

>>64374671
>colourless_sky.mp3
I once badly ripped the screen cap riffs, normal for me and reversed for my wingman. We would go to opposite ends of a room, he would send a text and id respond a few seconds later.

Good times.

>>64381990
Ill agree with you that the og anime did some things better, but the manga wins out in others. Both are bretty gud. Havent bothered with the new anime yet, havent gotten over the new vash design nor forgiven the team for swapping wolfwoods rocket launcher with a frickin laser beam.

>>64382682
BBB, from what i saw in the first season and a bit of what i read in the manga is enjoyable. Iirc, nightow wanted to do something lighter and more monster-of-the-week like compared to trigun. I didnt get too far into s2 of the anime but s1 was awesome, kinda like the first season of opm.

>>64382798
I enjoyed the 2nd season. You should give it a watch

>>64374594
There's the 3-inch version, it doesn't have the seam. It has has a real rear sight, and slightly more mass so it doesn't rattle the ejector rod loose every time you fire it (at least my 20ds does, your results may vary lmao). The 20ds is still fun to shoot, but unless you're REALLY fiending for the cyber-snubby, or want THE revolver from Signalis, I'd get one of the longer barrel lengths.

>>64371910
It's backwards to make a smaller profile, and magazines that direction can work just fine...

>>64334354 (OP)
How is the bushmaster arm pistol?
Other than, you know, unwieldy.

>>64382450
Because proportionally it is very clearly not a compact

>>64375404
From what I've seen it's catered to the fujo audience.
Make of that what you will

>>64381990
Overall I enjoy the 90s anime to stampede. I liked the additional context stampede has thanks to the macim dna but everything else was worse
Turning the 45lc to 22lr is another sin I don't see mentioned much but a sin it is

New one is coming out soon.

>>64386470
Ironically the fact they screwed up and swapped in 22 means we can probably get a top break revolver for it…

>>64386470
I thought his revolver in the original series was a .454? What's the rationale for the change in the new series anyway?

>>64386479
>Vash the stampede and his H&R Sportsman

>>64375404
Closer to the manga, yes.
Vash is a goofy goofer the entire anime, however. In the old one he got serious when shit got serious but in the new one he goes kung fu panda. And the new gun is .22. Why.
and a fail that the manga had, that was corrected by the anime is that the gung ho guns being created by a weird cult that is 100% loyal to knives. In the old anime the gung ho guns had varying degrees of loyalty and common intetest with the bbeg, but this dude was so fucked by his fight against ChadVash he was forced to hire those goons while his body recovers.

>>64389276
Lastly the old anime is presented as western in space? Alternative earth? Post apoc? But as the show goes on and the plot unravels it genre-shifts to eleven which is KOOL. The new anime begins with Knives sabotaging the colony mission

>>64386793
It was a a .45lc.

Make way for the psychogun, fires lasers of concentrated willpower

>>64389301
Oh. Well who's the animu guy with a .454?
Is it the Hellsing guy?

>>64390786
That is Alucard, yes, the gun he starts the series with is a .454casull.
