So what are the chances of us getting a more Shonen-like Escaflowne re-make along the lines of the manga with a busty sexpot Hitomi?

I haven't seen a whole lot of new Medieval Mech out there lately, and it seems like studios are okay remaking established properties more than ever.

I think the last recent medieval mecha I watched was Knights & Magic (which was a lot better than I expected and wish they would put out more) and maybe Back Arrow, which I didn't finish but thought it had some potential.

Brokenblade (Breakblade) finally ended its manga run after years and years of hiatus, so maybe they'll end up animating that?

Other than that, it looks like Panzer World Galient got a semi-wide release, which I bought but have yet to check out. I love the Galient promo art.

Am I missing anything recent?

What a fucking waste of time escaflowne is
>great character designs
>great music
>great animation
>90% of the run time devoted to fucking Dilandau
Seeing Isaac Newton realize his plan was retarded was great though

I think you completely missed the point and the aesthetic ideal of Escaflowne
This is Netflix adaptation tier shit

Escaflowne is basically a dead property in Japan, and even if it wasn't that pretty much would be against the point of the show which was supposed to be really shoujoesque and pretty and less action oriented.

It's good if you watch it after the TV series as some alternate / fairytale version. Confusing and strange if you don't already know the story and characters. Animation and art is top notch.

Dude, the opening scene alone is pure sakuga, let alone the final mech battle.

This movie is tits, should not be compared to the series, but as the other guys said, treated as a different take on the same concept.

Knights & Magic really was so much better than I had expected it to be. It's too be it falls into the 98% of isekai anime that are just ads for the light novels and only the 2% most generic and with the longest titles get more than one season

I love fantasy mecha so much but your thread started the topic with the most retarded idea lol.

You're missing out on Mashin Crestor Wataru, the new entry to Mashin Hero Wataru series. We have a thread here about it somewhere and it's still airing. There was also Red Ranger Isekai and Code Geass just had some fantasy magic thing in some gacha or something I have no idea I haven't been following it.

I loved how they made Escaflowne make bone noises when it walked and powered by blood. The music was amazing too.

Higher performance, faster reaction time. Basically, all other guymelefs are imitations of it's kind. Downside is that because of a bond with it's pilot, all damage it sustains is also rendered onto the pilot in the form of body wounds.

>it was the last of its kind from an extinct race of angel wing people
Escaflowne was built by the Ispano, who were the only people the Draconians (the survivors of Atlantis and the creators of Gaia) passed on some of their technology to.

Ryu Knight is super underrated, fun episodic fantasy romp. Adeu is a good lead who carries his concept of being naive but genuinely wanting to be an ideal knight. Plus the rest of the party are good bouncing off each other, I'd include Katze in that although when they start gathering more characters it starts to be a bit bloated.

The original Dunbine is good but it's a slight pacing wise.
