Thread 23580762

Besides the Gundam franchise, Gridman and Bravern are the only successful recent mecha shows with a long lasting impact, what made them such a hit with the masses? What could other creatives learn from their success?

Character designs that truly stand out. If SEED or 00 came out today they'd flop hard.

>Bravern
>successful
lol
lmao even

Macross
Code Geass

How is it not?

>>23581378
Delta was 10 years ago and nobody cares about nu-gayass.

>>23581378
NTA but because it went woke and therefore went broke.

>>23580762 (OP)
I want real robot shows to make a comeback, super robot and sentai are fine, but they just don't scratch that itch for me. Also, human vs human conflicts, enough kaiju and aliens.

>>23581378
>How is it not?
How is it, more importantly?

>>23581400
but it's all real robot now, wtf are you talking about? we didn't have a good super robot show in decades

>>23581400
I bet you didn't even watch the myriad of "real" robot content that came out in the past 10 years.

Bravern laser targeted a niche in a niche and stuck with it. It has longevity but not a genre wide impact.

Yeah they are just humans, that's what makes it stand out. How did you not figure this out yet?

>>23581381

/m/ can't let go >>23492223

Bravern characters look like they were made a 20 something Japanese gay man who lives off Skeb commissions and draws gay porn for his 200k twitter follow account, this is exactly why it stood out.

>>23581512
Japanese artists are more versatile, they might have a style but that doesn't mean they can't design or draw in different ways when necessary.

>>23581381
There's a new animated project in the works for Geass and next year is the 20th Anniversary.

Wasn't that almost exactly what happened, only with Pixiv instead of Twitter?

>>23581683
Couldn't be further from the truth.

>>23581691
this, it was actually a yuri artist

>>23580762 (OP)
Bravern had yaoi/fujobaiting on its side.

>>23583268
>bait

Isn't Shinkalion on its like third series now?

>>23583279
yeah, third wrapped
it leaned on weird sponsorships like facebook, google, Abe Breeding Program, so no clue about a future
that might be the lesson, re-enforced from Tiger And Bunny, "a sponsor's a sponsor"

>>23583331
>Abe Breeding Program
Rail Wars tried that and failed.

>>23583333
Mazinger Infinity went oddly hard into the AND THEN THEY FUCKED AND HAD KIDS paint too

>>23583338
You can't have infinite Mazingers unless you have an infinite line of helmets to pilot them.

>>23583338
>AND THEN THEY FUCKED AND HAD KIDS
That's how all /m/ should end.

>>23582111
wtf I'm watching Bravern now

>>23582111
then do kannazuki no miko

>>23580762 (OP)
Cute humans

>>23580762 (OP)
frotting

>>23580762 (OP)
Yeah, I want some proof that Bavern has had a long lasting impact. I'm sorry I (mostly) like bravern, but this reminds of the Gatchaman crowds hype guy claiming Crowds had five seasons, and was super influential.

>>23585041
It has more merch and collabs than WfM.

>triggerslop
>lasting impact

>>23586644
Yeah believe it or not.

>>23583505
Enjoy the pseudo-romance. There were fangirls who still claim the show wasn't really gay.
We need more shows where the mecha wants their pilot inside of them.

>>23588484
>There were fangirls who still claim the show wasn't really gay.
that sentence doesn't make any sense

>>23585041
Bravern made anime real.
