Sentinel needs to get adapted into an anime, just so we can get more of this magnificent fucker.

I like how this intro of the Ghost in the Shell PS1 game Ghost In The Shell - Intro PSOne
sums up what most pepole (like me) finds "cool" about anime.
TITS AND ROBOT! TO TECHNO MUSIC!
Its like a AMV before youtube.
I watch it on a demo disc back in the day. (and got a 2D "thing" out if it...)

>Gundam Zeta
God, I regret watching that show.

They had such potential for something absolutely amazing what with the dynamic between Haman Khan, Scirocco and Char, but then they kept focusing the show on "Kamille does nothing and whines like a jackass a lot". The character who is supposed to be Kamille's primary antagonist keeps popping up only to be totally inconsequential, nobody on the entire White Base 2 knows what the hell they're doing at any point, the only remotely competent pilots are Char, possibly Emma some of the time, and Amuro (who manages to be both interesting and jaw-droppingly awesome for his fifteen minutes of screentime god why can't this show be about Amuro), the entire plot is just a Lensman Arms Race that goes pretty much fucking nowhere, NOTHING important is established or explained (the anti-beam coating on the Shiki, the design of the experimental NewType models, the thing Kamille installed to make Zeta work better), and they pointlessly recycled the Kamille Falls In Love With Four plot three fucking times in a row, always to the same completely unsatisfying conclusion.

And people call this THE BEST GUNDAM SERIES OF ALL. What.

>>76727

I am now to the part in the series where Four died and Camille threw a gimp Jerrid off a cliff.

It's definitely not as good as the original it follows. There are constant references to the original ("The AUG is like the White Base" and "Boy that Kamille reminds me of Amuro") that seem like it's riding its coat tails rather than fan service references. The plot meanders around, and Jerrid is a poor substitute for Char (particularly given that we have the ACTUAL Char running around in Sunglasses, but he does make for a hilarious Team Rocket style villain). I do find it interesting that you think Amuro was good in it, as he's been kind of a whiny bitch who makes Kamille look better since he joined up with the heroes. Still, despite being really flawed, I still look forward to seeing the next episode. It manages to keep my interest, and I do enjoy how 80s it is at times.

>>76728
Honestly, Zeta dropped the ball when the writing reluctantly stuck to following Kamille. Instead of just going straight to The Adventures of Char Aznable and his awesome 80s hair and coolshades and BRIGHT GOLD HYAKU SHIKI.

It says something when the final battle of the series is Char in a three-way v Haman and Scirocco, instead of focusing on the supposed protagonist. And it's possibly the most enjoyable episode.

Well...besides Kamille's introduction. "THAT kid looks like a BOY"

>Katz
>Fucking Katz

Oh my god, kill this kid please

Kamile's "MUDERER! MURDERER! MURDERERRRR!" scene was pretty hilarious, though. I wish I had a gif of that.

>>76970
The scene I always remember from Zeta (and also a friend of mine who watched it with me) is in one of the later episodes, near the end, when Kamille meets Four v3.0 and she goes crazy in a colony full of gas. Kamille, Whatsherface and Fa walk into a store, and then Fa suddenly starts ranting at NotFour....while bouncing a yoyo up and down as a freaky clown dummy behind her extends its neck upwards in the most disturbingly hilarious manner. And then this is NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN.

I felt like...the first time I saw that, I felt as if David Lynch had just walked into the middle of the scene and punched me in the brain and left.

Do you know what would be great? If there was a website that was nothing but a giant robot size chart, except all the robots were vectored so it's infinitely scalable, so you can zoom in and out as much as you want. And you can add robots as new anime are produced.

Oh yeah, Marcross was a fun watch.

>>77149
Good lord, that show. The QUALITY animations. The entirety of the Milia/Max wedding episode.

I swear, the whole episode is "surely the art can't get worse than THAT?" I haven't laughed so hard in years.

>>76978
Okay, I know robots whether real or Super don't exactly care about physics, but these legs are getting ridiculously longer than the rest of the body. Like they would snap in half if they actually walked for extended lengths.

>>77149
>>77153
Forget the QUALITY, their "romance" itself is ridiculous.

Max: Hey I'ma beat you in a valk? ok
Millia: ffff
Max: Hey I'ma beat you in a vidya gaem? ok
Millia: ffff
Max: Hey I'ma beat you in a knife fight? ok
Millia: ffffuck me silly!

>>77162
Inorite?

It's simultaneously depressing and hilarious that what is arguably the most important plot point of the entire franchise had to be stuffed into a single episode at high speed because the writers couldn't make time for it. It's like with all the Hikaru-mopes-about-Minmay scenes they forgot to fit in Max's subplot.

>>77171
Overall, Macross had a very strange pacing. Not necessarily bad, just weird. During the third (fourth?) act when the Zentraedi and humans are trying to co-exist, I was thinking "Hey... this denouement is really long. How many more episodes are left? Woah nelly!"

>>77195
The pacing is all over the place because, IIRC, they were planning a forty-something-episode show, got given twenty because BUDGET CUTS, and then earned an extra ten episodes later on due to holy shit guys this is good shit.

I'm a little depresses they spent far too much of their screentime budget on Hikaru's love triangle, though. As nice as the drama is, it just isn't interesting enough to be the ENTIRE show.

I'm gonna put this on a black hat.

>>77203
The black hat I bought is too small... or this patch is too big.

Need to buy a bigger black hat.

GUNDAM STYLE ! M/V (Gangnam Style Parody)

Nice. Now recreate it with actual Gundam cosplayers.

「コン・バトラーVの�…

Mecha bamp!

Is it just me, or have there been relatively few mecha series in the last three or so years? Or at least ones that have actually been popular.

>>81540
Mazinkaiser SKL, the last few Break Blade movies, Star Driver, Aquarion EVOL, Eureka AO... I don't know how you rate popularity though, mecha series tend not be popular in the general anime fandom anyway.

In 2013 alone, we're getting Majestic Prince, Gargantia and Valvrave. Urobuchi is on the Gargantia staff, so I expect that to be popular.

Does anyone have the rest of this picture? Last I saw it had several different mecha fandoms raging about different things.

>>81540
Tiger & Bunny was very vaguely mecha?

>>81540
>>81543
>>81544
Gyrozetter, Danball Senki, Gundam AGE and Gundam Unicorn too. Not to mention "remaster" of Gundam SEED.

Plenty of mecha, just very few good ones.

>>81543
>>81545
I remembered or looked up most of those but Aquarion, Break Blade, and Gyrozetter.

> I don't know how you rate popularity though, mecha series tend not be popular in the general anime fandom anyway.

I guess just because I hadn't heard much about them (good or bad) compared to a lot of mecha series from '07-'09, but now that I think of it that was almost entirely just three show (Gurren Lagann, Code Geass, and Gundam 00). I guess that much of one genre being "the thing" almost concurrently is more of a peak than the last couple years being a slump.

Is there any good mecha shows currently?

>>86292
Kind of hard to answer that since we're in between seasons at the moment.

The mecha shows in the next batch are Nobunaga the Fool and Buddy Complex. I plan to give them a try, although their premises don't really stand out.

>>86294
Buddy Complex: Sunrise Mecha Anime; Revenge of the Cliches. The characters are piss boring and the time travel plot seems similar to Terminator, but I'll give it two more episodes.

Nobunaga the Fool: Modern-Kawamori-style anime of haphazardly putting together disparate elements (Nobunaga, feudal Japan, Jean D'arc, feudal Europe, space opera, mecha) and trying to see what sticks.

Kawamori and the director, Hidekazu Sato, previously worked on Basquash. If that show's any indication, Nobunaga will start off with an interesting premise and peter out halfway. Hopefully they learned from their previous mistakes. Some scenes made me think of Escaflowne, which is a good thing.

Z-2 makes me want to see a lot more new series show up in SRW just so they can do dumb shit with dumb shit. Like, Star Driver for example. Just take out Takuto, the only truly great part of that show, and have him run around with, I dunno, Lelouch.

>>86379
If you want funny dumb shit, then we need Sora wo Kakeru Shoujo. Every interaction between Lelouche and Leopard would be Jun Fukuyama trying to out-ham himself.

>>86384
Oh man I forgot about Soaring Cake Girl. I think Leopard is the only reason anyone watched that show (I don't think I saw more than 3-4 episodes).

>>86387
Pretty much only four reasons why I watched it:

1) Sexy quadraped mechs
2) Leopard
3) Baked bro-tato
4) Sentient space colonies fighting each other with city-sized chainsaws, whips and energy cannons

第3次スーパーロボッ�…

I do believe this is the first time we've see Votoms and Full Metal Panic on a console, which is nice.

>>86420
You don't count handheld console SRWs?
And Votoms has had a bunch of non-SRW/crossover games of its own, while FMP has been in other crossover games not counting its SRW appearances.

>>86421
Yea, I was just talking about home console SRW games.

HEY SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS?

>>86801
IT'S GOD DAMN AMAZING

>>86801
>>86806
HOLY FUCK RIGHT?

LOOK AT THIS SHIT, THEY REFERENCED ALLENBY AND DOMON'S DOUBLE GOD FINGER

>>86811
Too bad actual G Gundam stuff seems to get jobbed horribly.
