Thread 23405116

You anons watching or reading anything?

>>23405116 (OP)
Yamato Takeru is irritating, Shitkeklion 3 is the worst series, and Legends of The Galactic Juxtaposition is not impressive. Also Gavv is the second worst Kamen Rider series after Build. That's about it on my end.

>>23405116 (OP)
>>23405126
Fuck off duel.

Read the novels if you haven't yet. Pure kino.

>>23405189
I know Hambrabi gets a Bio Sensor, what other charges do the Zeta books have?

>>23405126
3/10 bad bait, you have to learn how to make it more believable

>>23405116 (OP)
I've been rewatching the original MSG on youtube recently

>>23405116 (OP)
Currently watching NG nights lamune & 40, haven’t seen any of the “chibi robo” shows yet but kinda wanted to mix things up by at least checking out one of the more notable series, there’s definitely signs that it wasn’t JUST made for kids too. Also finished the original Megazone 23 ova and gonna check out the second part next tonight

>>23405116 (OP)
No, but I'll write a treatise on Contolism

>>23405116 (OP)
Just watched the first compilation movie of Turn A, boring as fuck, coming from Tomino I don't expect the show to be any better.

>>23405116 (OP)
I'm watching the original series for the first time, Ramba Ral just died and now his wife wants revenge

>>23405639
She dies too.

I'm rewatching Dragon Quest and they just got to the part where they fight the giant castle robot.

>>23405639
In the middle of a fight, ramba ral forgot to gouf off

>>23405116 (OP)
I'm going through Snowcrash and wondering why anyone would want to make the Metaverse real as it seems like a horrid virtual hell layered on top of a world that's already a corporate hellhole.

I tried the first episode of King-Ohger
The only sentai I've watched all the way through was Kakuranger
In comparison, King-Ohger was a bit much. I don't know if I'll keep watching, the show seems too ridiculous even compared to what I expect from sentai

>>23405116 (OP)
started the sentinel novels.

I'm reading Gundam the Origin and the flashback is kinda lame. It really didn't need that many cameos and it makes the world feel a lot smaller. It's good overall but it just has some annoying changes. For instance, making Haro a toy instead something Amuro build. For what reason take away something that added to his character? Also the original Char looking exactly like Casval. How fucking convenient.

>>23405116 (OP)
Macross Frontier
I've been hard filtered by Macross before with its pop singer subplots, but Frontier clicked with me so far and I'm like 18 episodes in.
Might just be mid-00's nostalgia. Feels similar to watching something like Stand Alone Complex.

>>23405116 (OP)
Watching Transformers Victory.

>>23406949
all modern gundam media fellates char, moralizes zeon, and shits on the federation

>>23408122
As it should. Zeon was, for the most part, in the right.

>>23405116 (OP)
Thunderbolt just fucking shadowdropped GODrocco

>>23408378
can't wait to see how they fellate scirocco when levan fuu was basically a demigod

>>23408378
Why do they jerk off Scirocco so much, the Gqux guy wouldn't shut up about how the show took place when it did to avoid him

>>23405116 (OP)
I just watched episode 21 of MSG79

I totally get it why people there are people collect dozens of zakus now. I want them to win, but that's just not the format of the show.

>>23408516
>I totally get it why people there are people collect dozens of zakus now. I want them to win, but that's just not the format of the show.
Zakus are absolutely my favorite mobile suit. I need to watch Votoms or something where grunt suits reign supreme.

>>23405116 (OP)
Nadesico, it's so good
>>23405639
it bugged me how the 0079 end-of-episode previews straight up told you who was going to die in the next episode

id rather have snowcrash's metaverse than the all encompassing mobile device social media scroll dopamine slopfeed of today

>>23409547
I just pretend PoD never happened.

>>23405116 (OP)
I finished watching Heavy Metal L-Gaim. What some said about the show was wrong, it's not a pipeline to Zeta, It's a pipeline to Zeta and ZZ. Good show overall, L-Gaim MK II is one of my favorite real robos as a result. I'm currently watching Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse, and it's been fun so far.

Finished techno police 21c and I enjoyed it, fun robot buddy cop film that was clearly the pilot for a television series that was never made, which is a shame cause I really liked it a lot

>>23409906

What the hell buddy that was uncalled for, and don’t call me duel. When fingers start pointing out accusing others as duel you know you’ve gotten real paranoid. Want more proof? Captain earth stinks

>>23410163
Chill out, anon. It was just an observation I made; no need to throw insults like that.

>>23408084
The opening is stuck in my head for half a year now, haha. Do you like the show? I think their Starscream is pretty interesting

Also, I'm rewatching Zeta
again.

>>23405116 (OP)
I am watching Seed.

>>23410590
Liking the series. It and Masterforce are consistently the most well drawn Transformers shows I've seen in the franchise so far. Star Saber is also a really cool design all around.

>>23405116 (OP)
I'm watching Victory for the first time. Discovered a passion for Gundam last year and went through 79.Zeta,ZZ,CCA,Pocket and now F91 and Victory. Went from 0 interest in gunpla to 6 MG kits and 1 RG. Also i joined the local community. Sorry for blogging but it feels good to get into Gundams right now. Theres so much to explore. I also saw the first Macross anime

>>23410705
hell yeah dude gundam rocks

>>23405116 (OP)
Reading Sworgrader.

>>23405116 (OP)
Been working my way through Macross for the first time, about half way through Delta right now.

>>23408502
mindbreaking kamille left a big impact on people

Finally finished that two parter of the Attack on Titan finale. Welp, that sucked, dragged out way longer than it should have. That epilogue should have been cut entirely to boot. I don't get why they thought they needed this to be multiple movies instead of a regular season. On the other hand, Final Season in general was just a miserable slog.
>>23416799
First I've heard of this.

>>23419201
Not /m/ drool, fuck off.

ep34 of msg79
I am honestly detached from the going-ons of the episodes now and lost track at this point of how many fleets of zeons have jobbed hard to white base. I am sure it will only get worse. How is white base and gundam always repaired in time for the next battle? Why do zeon mobile suits explode when the limbs or head is damaged? Who thought the transforming gundam plane was at all cool? Those aren't the right kinds of questions to ask.

Watched Spider-Man: No Way Home earlier and it ended up beating Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 3 as the worst MCU movie. Such slow pacing and awful humor, unlike Deadpool and Wolverine this so did not deserve that level of reception. I was told it was never explained how Electro looked different than in AS2, but it turns out "oh he's the same, new suit has an Arc Reactor". The weird shit nobody talks about you end up being pleasantly surprised by. As for more /m/ stuff, 27 episodes into the following:

>Yamato Takeru
Garbage, legit contender for worst fantasy robot anime ever made even beating Red Ranger Isekai and the OVA version of Rayearth,
>LOGH
Huh, Sieg died. And not much else. *shrug* I wonder who called dibs on his red ship.
>Shinkalion: Change The World
Slog fest.
>Kamen Rider Gavv
After tomorrow there will still be four more episodes of this schlock. Supposedly it is cratering in sales and I am okay with that.

>>23420837
>legit contender for worst fantasy robot anime ever made
Is it really that bad?

>>23420841
I'll make a topic about it when I finish it. Yes, it's really that atrocious. Not quite 1/10 leveled, but it deserves a Black Getter style rip and tear.

>>23420841

Fucking grim.

>>23405116 (OP)
I'm 30 episodes into Galaxy Express 999

Kochikame via Remow & some random stuff i pull of my shelf that is on vhs or DVD

finished watching Godannar
didnt like how the main premise was the MC quickly forgetting about the girl who sacrificed herself to save him to get a new girl even though it's supposedly about true unwavering love, but it was good other than that and the most hyped I've been watching something in a while

I'm watching the OG Gundam for the first time after finishing G Gundam and Getter Robo Armageddon, just finished episode 9

>>23422427
Go is the worst part of the show unfortunately. I rewatched recently too and he's just an annoying character.

>>23421345
How is it, I've been meaning to watch it for a while

Watching Brain Powered at the moment. Sometimes, the scenes go from its HD remaster to these lower definition or blurrier shots.

11 episodes in...
Going by its reputation, I expected some incomprehensibly convoluted plot like Eva or Gasaraki that would fry my brain in trying to make sense of it.
It's just a run of the mill Tomino show.

>>23424847
>incomprehensibly convoluted plot like Eva or Gasaraki
do americans really

>>23405116 (OP)
Just finished rewatching 08th MS team because I told a newb to Gundam to watch it and now I'm starting a rewatch of build fighters because I love it so much

Eureka Seven, i never watched darling in the franxx but i can already say its darling in the franxx if it wasn't made for redditors which sole braincell is focused on hyperfixating on the word "Dere" and "waifu".
Also shirtless bara daddy in the first few episodes

>>23408502
Zeta Gundam is basically a show where the main characters sorta accidentally stop the actual biggest threat in the entire UC setting which was Sirroco charismamogging everyone after achieving total military victory and it took Kamille, one of the best pilots in the entire series, getting brainfucked to stop him. What's funny is that Sirocco sorta just wanders into the plot as well. In Gcuck, the setting is much worse off with the Principality of Zeon being dominant but financially annihilated, and the Federation probably turning entirely into the Titans but not having the assets to really fight Zeon again. Sirocco showing up would dramatically change the entire setting as he himself was able to not only push MS development ahead dramatically(Gcuck MS are ALL at a much lower level vs their prime counterparts) as well as having very little political figures to oppose him charismamogging his way to the top of whatever faction he chooses. He is sorta a big deal

>>23424864
>hyperfixating
Zoomer tranny detected. Opinion discarded.

>>23409040
NTA but I couldn't make it that far into Votoms. It starts with such a great hook, and I know there is cooler stuff as the series goes, but the entire arc of throwing the main character into this backwater space colony to fuck around with a bunch of goofy idiots after telling me how cool this setting can be felt like torture so I dropped it.

>>23424847
just as I say this, they introduce yet another faction.
cue 'must work together to defeat common enemy', always makes me excited.

>>23424888
>but the entire arc of throwing the main character into this backwater space colony to fuck around with a bunch of goofy idiots
it doesn't do that until the third arc though

>>23405116 (OP)
Gundam victory, I'm nearly done with the series at ep 42 but it feels like a really slog to get through half way into it that I kinda just put it down to watch other stuff.

>>23405116 (OP)
I'm on the second episode of Orguss and this piece of shit MC (who already has a GF) kissed who I assume is the main love interest (who already has a fiancee) against her will like 4 times
I hated Hikaru in Macross too but this guy is so much worse

>>23426077
>Orguss
stop while you can its shit from beginning to end

>>23426140
someone told me Orguss 02 is really good and I don't want to skip the first one

>>23426077
>beta male seething impotently at the success of a gigachad
a tale as old as time

I finished Gridman and immediately started up Dynazenon, now on episode 6. It’s a fun watch and I wish I gave it a chance sooner. Can’t wait to see the mech in SRW Y

>>23426145
Orguss 02's connection to the first are fairly slight and even outright contradict it with one character. It's mostly about an early industrial world suddenly getting weird advanced robots from other dimensions. You could easily rework Orguss 02 to not include anything specific from SDC Orguss and it'd still work.

Finished Transformers Victory. Really fun series even with the five pre-finale clipshow episodes.

>>23426140
The theme song is so fucking good that's the only thing I like about it

I finished the third Code Geass movie and I'm 20 episodes in Dunbine. In trying to get as many series in before I play Y while not going too fast. I should have started this earlier.

>>23424577
Its great, not a single boring episode so far.

Rewatching the 1986 Transformers movie.

>>23420837
>Guardians of The Galaxy Volume 3 as the worst MCU movie
Of course he dislikes the film where the animals are freed.

>>23433794
why did you bump his shitty blog thread?

Yesterday I watched

>Naked Gun 4
Just as funny as the main trilogy.
>Yamato Takeru
Finished it, it did improve starting in episode 28 but by then it was too little too late. That ending was rushed as hell. Not sure how the epilogue OVA will play out. Also the subs need a scrub job, they got very crabstick heavy at the end.
>Blue Beetle
Greatovie, pacing was slow as hell in the first half though.

Will try to finish the third Shitkeklion today if I can.

>>23438580
>Great movie

>>23438580
>>23438585
Kill yourself drool.

>>23438580
So no thread worthy rant for YT? You promised, anon.

>>23438686
I'll do that after I watch After War.


Welp, finished Shinkalion Change The World, it was mediocre at best. Vina being the final boss was dumb as hell and the writers expected anyone to care when all she did was berate the MC for being into trains. She was easily the second worst mascot in anime history after the potato head from The Girl Who Leapt Through Space.

>>23439671

Ah, that makes sense. A shame you didn't enjoy Change The World.

>>23439702
It's like that t wanted to be a mecha ripoff of Corrector Yui, but it ended up being a lot like Gunparade Orchestra: Technically a lot better in some regards but it loses itself so hard it backtracks making it worse overall. Making the main finisher the use only in an emergency weapon felt jarring.

>>23405116 (OP)
Started watching Macross Delta for SRW Y and I'm almost finished. I honestly expected a horrid show considering how people on /m/ talk about it but it's completely fine. The show does kind of slow down hard after episode 10 but it's nothing compared to the first half of 7. I guess watching Delta weekly would be rough but it feels fine when binging.

Just finished the fourth Keroro Movie, it was just as good and just as funny as the first three. It also puts into context that weird episode near the end of season 7 why the platoon has to turn into dragons (I thought it was some Deviant Art parody). No idea how the last one is going to turn out.

Just finished watching Resident Evil: Damnation, not as good as Degeneration due to how slow paved it was and it could have used more action. They also added a bunch of ecchi to it for no reason. I prefer the Wes Anderson movies to be honest.

>>23444534
>paced

>>23444534
>>23444536
Not /m/ duel.

>>23440424
Aki's glasses were weird in 4
F91 Powered Natsumi was nice though

15 episodes into ZZ. Its pretty fun, but the toneshift is just as jarring as people say. I can kind of buy it though since most of the competant people are off the ship or dead, and Bright is burnt the fuck out. Big fan of all the new loser villains.

>>23445094
>Bright is burnt the fuck out
i think that's one of my favorite parts of ZZ, bright blatantly having checked out and letting the kids figure their own shit out
in that aspect it only gets better as the show goes on

>>23444554
I'm not duel, Duelrager.

>>23445094
I'm only 6 episodes in but the toneshift is easier to accept with Judau and his friends since they were just living their own lives, not really caring about the war going on around them. Neo Zeon being a bunch of clowns is what threw me for a loop though I find them, particularly Mashymre, endearing.

>>23445162
>the toneshift is easier to accept with Judau and his friends
Yeah I agree, them not giving a shit about the war growing up as poor colony kids makes perfect sense. I struggle a bit with Fa being pretty incompetent and bright being more lax, but they did just watch all their friends die and can clearly tell this threat is much less serious. I also really like the emphasis on how shitty their equipment is. Like the Zeta is not at 100% most of the time, and the ship is beat to shit too.
>Neo Zeon being a bunch of clowns is what threw me for a loop though I find them, particularly Mashymre, endearing.
I can buy Haman sending less competant troops ahead to test the waters and sew dissension, but Im not much further than you so they might explain that some other way. He is great though, and you're just a few episodes away from meeting a contender for best girl in gundam.

>>23405116 (OP)
My friend got me the first volume of the Evangelion manga last month, and I've been through it. Am I misremembering stuff, or Shinji sounds more gutsy in it?
I mean, even before things went downhill after Bardiel, Shinji was pretty meek. By comparison, in the manga, he fucking bumrushes Sachiel in his first sortie rather than just tripping.

>>23408502
muh space napoleon
even dies to a stomach ailment

>>23445725
I looked it up, it was based on earlier versions of the script, so it wound up a bit different for the first bit, then settled in to where it should have been

>>23445725
yeah the manga gives shinji some balls, he's a lot more like a normal mecha protag in it

Just finished Yamato Takeru After War, damn was this even worse than the series. The writing was somehow even worse and they made the ending a sad one for no reason. Glad it's over. I'll likely make a topic tomorrow.

>>23405116 (OP)
Started a rewatch of Gundam F91. Got halfway through before I paused it for the evening. Maybe I'll finish it tonight. I really like F91, it's a shame people don't care about Cosmo Babylonia because I thought they were cool. Model kits for the grunts never ever
>>23445725
Shinji is way more bearable in the manga, he is definitely less of a pussy. I found the Eva manga to be as enjoyable if not more than the TV show. Really glad I read it after spending years being mad at the shitty rebuild movies

>>23445166
Haman in Zeta mentions that most of her troops are green/inexperienced when the crew escape their negotiations (just rewatched yesterday but forgot the exact wording). I always figured that was the real cause at the start of ZZ.

11 episodes left on Brain Powered.

Couple episodes left of Daitarn 3. Fun show. Banjo is a pretty cool guy. Kills meganoids and doesn’t afraid of anything. Really like Beauty and Garrison too.

>>23451522
Stop bumping duel's blog thread you fucking retard.

Gundam Eight manga, and its absolutely peak. Smh Muv-luv x Gundam?

I'm watching the Brave series and The Shield back to back

>>23451433

Rewatching Zeta subbed and Seed dubbed. I only watch dubbed anime when I'm building Gunpla so I don't have to read subtitles and can focus on rhe build

>>23452534
>Seed dubbed
I love that dub.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUYZotTQr3E

>>23452434
Are you having plenty of fun with Brain Powered at least?

>>23452553
No
It feels slow for some reason, I mostly picked it up for the OP and because I confused it for some other show that /m/ was talking about, with a giant gold robot with spindly limbs
I'm at least done the episode where you really see a guy's mommy issues, so at the very least they put in a relatable loser for me to keep watching, but it's either slow or sad and miserable
The ED's also very unnerving but I assume there's a reason for it

>>23405116 (OP)
Watching Big O right now. I don't think I fully get whats going on but Dorothy is great
Planning on moving onto 00 after I finish it up

been watching Nyaight Of The Living Cat with the wife
been cute so far
the dance in the OP reminds me of G-Reco
was an Akira reference, some HnK, maybe a Tetsujin one

>>23452610
It has its moments of being lighthearted.

>>23406087
Just so you know, King-Ohger while having a masterpiece story skews over its Sentai to the point if you remove the suits it w9n't change anything and they focus in civilian forms more.

>>23452434
9 episodes left now.

>>23453406
It does, it just still feels miserable even though nothing bad is happening
>>23457213
Still at 16, or 15 I think

>>23405116 (OP)
I'm only just now starting to watch Zeta after watching the original series. I like Zeta, but I'm having to get used to not being able to just naturally assume who's on what side like the original series. Just had Amuro re-enter the series and meet this mysterious Quattro guy who weirdly looks like Char for some reason.

>>23405116 (OP)
Just started reading the original MSG novelization on my kindle. So far its good although it is significantly different from the original show.

>>23453391
I have now finished Big O. I don't know if I really understood that ending but I liked the show overall.
I'm now a few episodes into 00 now, does it get better?

>>23458753
No but at least it's better than seed.

Played my first SRW so watching series that got mixed in with that. Currently watching Majestic Prince which I had never heard of before.
Was completely blindsided by this episode. The death flags were obvious but SRW lulled me into false optimism as I forgot it has idealised versions of its represented series where no-one dies

SRW also had me thinking Randy was just anime Zapp Brannigan, very glad to see that was wrong, the whole Doberman team were MVPs considering they had been fighting in those prototype units long before the rabbits came onto the scene and never got credit, even getting overlooked during the Ceres after-action report. Only 5 units were able to fight on equal terms, my ass!

>>23459079
I had watched the show before playing SRW 30 and I could barely believe they made him a unit, SRW is notorious for cutting out characters like Randy
I was beyond hype when he got in and absolutely made him one of my top aces. It was good they made the other two Dobermans attack only too, otherwise I doubt the Randy's would have had as much oomph to it. In both the show and the game you can see the Rhinos clearly don't have as impressive abilities as the ASHMBs

>>23459079
>SRW also had me thinking Randy was just anime Zapp Brannigan, very glad to see that was wrong,
Being Zapp Brannigan is a bad thing? I thought Zapp is a beloved character.

>>23458436
At the moment, Yuu the male lead has been a rather grouchy dude.

>>23459994
Yuu's been fine, he has reasons to be upset at his parents and Orphan but also not necessarily trust Grand Doga or whatever the good guys are. Kanan's alright and Jonathan is too in small doses, Quincy hates fun and has tremendous issues at the cost of being pretty. It just feels like everyone has their own baggage that they - and we the audience - will have to deal with at some point. It was fine anticipating that in Evangelion (legitimately a good show as it turns out, nothing wrong with the original series and movie) but it's somehow tiring here. It might not even be the show's fault in all honesty.
Hime's been harmlessly fine, but I'm always really looking forward to seeing picrel. She seems like the sort to barge in your room or kidnap you so she can do experiments for fun.

I'm at the Dunbine episode Hyper Jerid and I just love how the most powerful Aura Battler grew giant and warped people's souls since she was an actress it fit perfectly with her ego. And to the point she made people think she was a reincarnation of Joan of Arc. I thought her profession and origin (Irish with who moved to France to become an actress and was looked down on for being Irish I think?) was just a random detai) and didnt think they were going to actually do something with it. I also didnt expect Hyper to happen with her since I've only ever seen it in other shoss which was last last boss shit. I just wish we saw more of her before this episode.

I haven't been posting here regularly but I've been enjoying the upper earth last arc a lot so far. Highlights were the Hawain episode when Show and Marvel meet up together, and Elle dealing with the death of that general.

>>23460025
Also for anyone watching Brain Powerd holy shit I can see so much of what became Brain Powerd in Dunbine. Tomino actually said in an interview that he could finally do what he wanted in Brain Powerd that he always wanted to do in Dunbine. (I never saved it I'd have to try to find it again if anyone cares.) Jeril Brainwashing people, Aura Power and emotions effecting the machines, machines going from biological materials to organic with mechanical materials. Even stuff like the Vital Network warping people around and barriers. Yuu's mom shooting him after completely rejecting him. Orphan being underwater like Byston Well. (Underwater is basically like a metaphor for the womb) I also love the water symbolism because it was used a lot with Lalah in MSG.

>>23460027
I meant show not yuu there.

>>23458753
>I have now finished Big O. I don't know if I really understood that ending but I liked the show overall.

From my memories it was something like Roger negotiated his contract to revive the show and the tomatoes were a metaphor for the literal use of throwing rotten tomatoes on stage when you think it sucks...I think. I don't know man.

>>23459994
The show makes somewhat more sense if you consider it an otome show where Hime is the protagonist, and Yuu is the tsundere male love interest

>>23459997
Brain Powerd is basically Tomino without an editor or anyone to check his insanity, it's the one show where it feels like every single Tominoism is cranked up to 50 and so every character is a basket case melting down over the slightest things and everyone has mommy issues but somehow not much actually happens during the story
This shit works better when it's played for laughs, that's why Xabungle is Tomino's best show

I am unironically watching The Sopranos for the first time. This is actually without a doubt the single greatest TV show ever made.

>>23459284
>In both the show and the game you can see the Rhinos clearly don't have as impressive abilities as the ASHMBs
Yeah they were never close to real ASHMBs in power, but they could handle sub-battleship Wulgaru in numbers just fine which is more than Earth capital ships could manage in the period.

>>23459287
It was more to say that there was more to his character than SRW made it seem
SRW Randy: Horny 24/7 holds regular porn watch parties every chance he gets, gives bad love advice and openly flirts with his female superior officer on open comms and gets off on being reprimanded. Bit of a dummy on the battlefield too leading to more examples of why his team gets the nickname Bummer's

MJP Randy:
Fairly respected team leader, always giving advice the best he can to his team members and the rabbits. The scene with Asagi in his room and trying to answer his 'how to be a real hero' question was good.
He didn't know the right answer, but instead gave advice on what he DID know, what makes a good team leader.
He does admittedly collect and shares porn tapes with guys he considers friends and in one of all those all-guys moments does admit to fantasize being stepped on by Suzukaze or that other female officer but this was in private, not in the middle of a battle on comms.

>Tominoism is cranked up to 50 and so every character is a basket case melting down over the slightest things


Who is actually doing this? Yuu's 'slightest thing' is having go escape abusive parents and an cult by force because the cult isn't alien that will kill them all... and he's pretty OK considering everything.

>>23460263
I don't dislike Tomino and I want to like him, so I guess this is a good push for Brain Powerd.
>but somehow not much actually happens during the story
Oh.
How's Ideon in terms of Tomino's insanity? I would have assumed that that was the "worst" of it, but I don't think Brain Powerd had to at least vaguely pretend to be a light-hearted show that would sell toys.
>Xabungle
Xabungle's the one with the dopey round-faced redhead that (apparently with good reason) beat the shit out of some woman, right? I think I've only heard good things about that show.

>>23461532
Yes for Xabungle.

>>23461571
This is fucking brutal, at least in Mazinger it was pretty much an even match every time, but holy fucking shit
Did she have some literal woman moment of letting an unapologetic antag go free and murder children, because isn't she a team member

>>23461655
>>23461532
It's been years since I watched Xabungle (early 2010s iirc) so I can't really remember the context. In Ideon's finale movie, a kid gets a literal headshot.

Xabungle and Wolfy.

>>23461675
Yeah I know about this scene, it's one of the draws for Ideon due to how miserable all of it seems

>>23460263
Currently finished episode 19 and it feels like Yuu has gotten more focus episodes than Hime along with the "mid-season upgrade" mecha in the form of Nelly Brain.

>>23461532
Well with Ideon everything feels more natural. People are exploding because of the tense situation rather than personal hangups. It's not some weird introspective drama so much as it is the logical conclusion of extreme paranoia and mistrust between two groups
Brain Powerd does end happily though, IIRC only one character actually dies, and the ending has some very beautiful imagery. It's ultimately a show about families attempting to reconcile (which even plays into what's going on with the Brains themselves), so of course they have to establish the resentment first

>>23461655
>Did she have some literal woman moment
Yes, this character in particular abandoned the team at a crucial moment to run off with some random guy and then had the gall to slink back when it didn't work out with him. The characters are already very prone to getting heated and shouting at each other without shit like that happening, it's a slapstick show

>>23461796
I watched a bit of it and the ongoing race war was interesting, but yeah I don't think you were getting a glimpse into everyone's psyches.
>logical conclusion
That sounds even more tragic.
>families reconciling
>spoiler
Yeah, they're fighting against their siblings..
A happy ending makes it a bit more relieving, although "everyone dies btw" would have also drawn me in for some reason.
>Yes, this character in particular abandoned the team at a crucial moment to run off with some random guy and then had the gall to slink back when it didn't work out with him.
What the fuck man

A light-hearted adventure! Like Ideon!

I think I must be insane too because Tomino doesnt feel insane to me. His characters are just realistic in a way you don't normally see in fiction period. Not even regular TV. It's hard to explain. But if it clicks with you you'll get it. I went from disliking most of Tomino outside MSG and Turn A despite trying his shows a lot to loving him with Brain Powerd last year. I'm currently going back and watching stuff I dropped or didnt like and I love them too. Actually maybe I did go insane. I'm planning on watching G reco movies soon which totally filtered me to see if I really do get it now or not.

It's like I had an actual newtype moment between me and Tomino.

This is what I loved about Brain Powerd. The Orphan stuff seems so bizarre and incomprehensible but it's just going through what everyone else in the series is going through except it's a fucking alien biomech. I think the characters and Orphan feed off each others emotions like the Brains so they're all in one giant feedback loop. Especially the more crazy characters who lived in Orphan. And that's why they could turn it around in the end because it is possible to break out if cycles. Like parental neglect and abuse, alcoholism and depression.

You need a lot of intuition to get Tomino animes I think.

Also I have a conspiracy theory that Turn A having a womb like cockpit was not a misunderstanding from Syd Mead cause all the Brains cockpits are called Uteruses in Nagano's concept art and are womb like anyways. Then Turn A has a womb cockpit too? I dont buy it.

>episode 10: The Captain Fucking Loses It
The captain was a bit fucking annoying but it's also completely understandable for a woman or even general human being to have a breakdown on being confronted with being a sub-par parent to a now-terrorist child who hates you, so yeah her response was actually pretty realistic. With how Gcucks flopped on understanding Gundam, I'm more sympathetic and open to hearing out Tomino, maybe even give Dunbine a try sometime. Not the easiest thing to get into when SRW already told you about its ending.
>>23461901
The spoiler sounds like something our good friend Anno would like.
>You need a lot of intuition to get Tomino animes I think.
My intuition has doubled since we last met, anon.
>Turn A
I still haven't finished the preceding shows and (by choice) I'd like to watch it after it all. Still cheated and got me the HG kit though, love that stupid design.
>>23461893
I mean, I hope it fixed her

>>23461892
I don't think Tomino characters are realistic at all, his dialogue always feels very stilted, as if every single line is a non-sequitur unless the characters are having a shouting match. The characters don't have a filter and they constantly talk past each other, as if everyone is too autistic to listen to anyone else and is just waiting for a lull so they can say whatever random thing is on their minds
Of course I'm exaggerating a bit here and I could see this being okay for one character but when it's the entire cast it's just bizarre

Tbf this is how it sometimes feels like to talk to certain people irl

Just finished the anime G-Reco, Klim is the fucking best, I knew him from the "I am a genius oh no!" meme, but I didn't expect him to be an actual Amuro/ Uso-tier pilot when he gets serious, he was basically in a 1v4 against the main villains and WON and killed a few and the one that survived was so traumatized she surrendered and quit being a pilot.

>even the spaceship wants a mommy
I'm glad Brain Powerd is filled to the brim with relatable characters and plot devices
I wish Quincy would stop being a sperg, but I also kind of don't

>>23463584
>I wish Quincy would stop being a sperg, but I also kind of don't

That's exactly how the show goes.

Earlier I finished a short series called Masamune Datecline, it started off fine but the animation just kept taking a nose dive, the pacing got slow, and it didn't have an ending so pretty okay all things considered. The sad part is this is the final anime series made by Gainax, the guys that made a bunch of me ha classics and they went out with this.

Also I just finished Zegapain Adaption after putting it off for too long and to hype up for Zegapain Statement. I will give the people involved credit, Zegapain has one of the extremely few settings in fiction where a compilation movie as a prequel to a main story would make any sense. That said while it was mostly good the first half had slow pacing and until the final fight there was barely any action. If you didn't already see the main series it would be hard to tell what the hell was going on so by prequel standards it's not a solid starting point.
