What's the most powerful and large machine depicted in anime? Stuff like the Steam Castle from Steamboy, things that really show the scale of the tiny humans up against a massive complex of pipes, gears, wires, and what not.
>>
Well, Gurren-Lagann had mecha larger than galaxies, but it didn't do a particularly good job at depicting scale.

Of the more realistic stuff, the City from BLAME!, if you can consider it a machine.
>>
Demonbane.

>The more realistic stuff
>A city that was larger in diameter than a dyson sphere
>>
>>110284351
The flying city from Now and Then, Here and There was, in fact, so large that even the people who initiated the take-off sequence were rather shocked to see it fly.

Here's for you, OP....

>>110284351
Probably not that big compared to many examples, but I always think of the alien spaceship from Project A-Ko which is comprised of a bunch of classic anime sci-fi ships jammed together into a several mile long monstrosity.

>>110285132
The Lancelot is 4.49m?
what
>>
>>110284867
It's infinitely more realistic than a giant robot powered by HOT BLOOD! throwing galaxies as shurikens, yes.

It wasn't really super massive, it was such a sight simply because nothing had flown in that world for decades.
>>
I know it's a bad example, but the ridiculous air craft carriers in Girls und Panzer came to my mind.
>>
>>110285132
Ok Anon, hold your breath when starting this video. When you give up and take a breath pause it. This will be the machine you will save your waifu with.

That's a good one

>>110286078
he have a point through
Blame mention that they have to deplete resources and integrate Moon into it
It's sort of grotesque and pointless (justified pointless story-wise) and its still far more realistic

This is pretty much the best case scenario in that size range, I think.

How's it a bad example?

Wailord.
I have no idea how this is going to go.

Diebuster is in the same category of bullshit as TTGL but gets a special mention for her on-screen description.

I-I thought GuP i-isn't that well received here.
And of course, most of the show is just stupidly over the top. But well yay I guess :3

The city ship in Horizon.
Can't find a good image of the entire thing that also provides a good sense of scale though.
>>
>>110286664
Literally first reply in the thread.

Also, the megastructures are only parts of what makes the City in BLAME.

Buster Machine III,

That's the moon in front of it. It's a mobile black hole bomb that use Jupiter the planet as the explosive/fuel/core.
It is build as desperate measure to blew up the galaxy (our galaxy) core when it become source of hostile alien.

granted Jupiter is compressed into the size of our moon before being put as the core of Buster Machine III but still...

---

it's on ridiculous scale but it's given with good enough story telling (in black and white for the intensity) as it depict last hope of men kind of thing.

>>110289702
That is where I got it from, my man.

Super Atragon had some interesting huge flying tech.

They aren''t nearly the biggest, but I always liked the physical weight of the Big-O megadei.
