Now : As the Season draws to the close, can we finally decide which was the best mecha that aired this cour?
>>123175086
I didn't watch Cross Ange, but I'm pretty sure it wins anyway.
>>123175086
inb4 CAfags spam the shit out of this thread with its shitty show
Fafner>G-Reco>Cross Ange>GBFT
Didn't even bother with AZ S2.
I only watched Cross Ange and Aldnoah 2 and they were both shit.
>>123175581
This looks to be about right.
>>123175581
this
>>123175086
AZ, tbh the rest was average, at least Aldnoah met my expectations
>le le it was so shite xD
>>123175086
Gundam Build Fighters Try because I bought some of the impressive HGUC models.
Definitely NOT Cross Analrape because of obvious Fuckuda trolling.
>>123175911
You must have had some terribly low expectations then.
How anyone puts AZ above anything is beyond me.
>>123176022
My mecha expectations are really low actually
>>123175581
>Fafner>G-Reco>Cross Ange>>>>>>>>>>>GBFT
Fixed that for you.
Cross Ange because it's the most intelligent comedy out of all
>>123175086
>best mecha
None, it's all shit.
>>123176315
I was tempted to do that actually. GBFT was a serious let down.
> still using "cour'
Stop that.
G-Reco>>>>GBF Try>>Aldnoah Zero>Cross Ange (not including Fafner because I am not watching it (I have to watch the previous stuff first))
>>123176440
Remember that the first season of Fafner is a shitty Eva-like, Exodus is actually good.
>>123175086
>A/Z
hahahahahahahaha
>CA
hahahaahaahahahah
>TRY
HUGE disappointment
>Fafner
Not done but better than the original
>G-Reco
Solid.
Wait, isn't Fafner Exodus two cour?
>AZ
muh perfect mechanical eye does everything for me and all the character relationship bad as gook dramas
>CA
The only show that stayed true to what it wanted to do. Very light plot and strong comedy. It's sexual jokes work very enjoyable and easy for anyone to laugh along with. Only faggots that haven't watched it or autsitic fags who are too disabled to appreciate the great joke this show provides will try to criticize this AOTS quality show.
>GBFtri
terrible shit plastic toy advertisement. The characters are gay the gunpla's "special abilities" AKA variation of trans am were rotten to the core. Trying to show growth of 3 different characters in only 2 seasons isn't gonna work.
>Fafner
Still not finished will not comment other than the art is really good
>Greco
Tomino the old faggot has lost it. The art was shit. The mech design is faggoty and it tried to develop 500 different characters at once leaving nothing complete and resulting a whole mess of nothing. Tomino can't keep up with not having 50 episodes and it shows. GReco is a shit.
>>123176655
Yes. But the first cour was better than most everything on that list

Fafner > Cross Ange > Aldnoah Zero > GBFT > immeasurable gap > G-Autista
As far as mecha fights are concerned, only Fafner and A/Z had interesting fights. CA mostly had repeat of the same thing,but at least its fights had emotional value.
Overall quality, story, music and action I would say: Fafner (hands down) >>>>>>>>>> Aldnoah >>>>>>>>G-Reco>>>>>>GBTF>>>>>>>Cross ange
If judging on how much I like each series
Fafner (again, hands down) >>>>>>>>>>>>>> GBTF (not as good as GBF, but it has it's moments like Tryon 3) >>>>>>Aldnoah >>>>>>>Cross Ange >>>>>>>G-reco (I only watched it because I'm a mecha nut. somethings, especially narrative sensibility was a jumble of mess)
Cross Ange was amusing and trashy
Aldnoah Zero was a snorefest
Build Fighters was a disgrace to the original
Didn't watch Fafner
G-Reco was fun and adventurous
I'd give it to G-Reco.
>>123177032

>Fafner
The pacing is shit and I'm butthurt about waiting four episodes between "Soushi and Kazuki you have to get in the robots" and Nicht and Sein actually doing anything, but at least it's not a trainwreck yet.
>Cross Ange
It died as it lived: filled with rape and silly antics. It wasn't a masterpiece, but at least it was entertaining.
>Aldnoah
I'm so fucking mad right now.
>GBFT
Dropped out of boredom after the episode where Yuuma almost got mugged.
>G-Reco
Dropped when they got to the moon colony thing, but kept catching random bits of the ending while waiting for Fafner to stream, so, I'm glad Manny got a happy ending.
>Binan
Got a robot at the last minute, was a better mecha show than Aldnoah.

Most entertaining? Cross Ange
>>123177216
>It wasn't a masterpiece, but at least it was entertaining.
So your tastes are shit. Gotcha
>>123177247
Fafner was not very good. The OVA and movie were pretty good, and Exodus is miles better.
It's just the same fag spaming Fafner since s few people watched it. Exodus is useless if you haven't watched the first season
>>123176315
If you want to fix, it should be something like this:
>Fafner >>>>>>>>>>> *
G-Reco, Cross Ange and Try were all terrible. I haven't watched AZ.
>>123175086
It's all shit (different reasons for each one) save for Fafner to which i'll give the benefit of doubt (because i haven't watched it yet and /a/ isn't talking much about it).
>>123177032
>AZ
>interesting fights
It easily had the worse fights of any of them.
Only watched GBTF.
Other shit was over rated and a big let down.
>>123177400
This. Nobody gives a shit about Exodus and threads are just 2 to 3 people circlejerking
>>123177400
Exodus is probably better if you don't watch the first season.
>People seriously putting CA and A/Z above anything
You should make this on /m/ for seriously replies here you'll get shitposting
>>123177247
How the fuck is>>123176655 a Tomino manchild when he asked a reasonable question?
>>123177400
>being this butthurt
>>123177528
>I only watch popular shows
Exodus was an eye popping experience even if YOU don't watch it
>>123175086
I'm fucking pissed with Sunrise for giving Tomino a 26 episode series, that guy can write fantastic anime but it only works when the series is 4-cour.
>>123177610
CA, Greco and A/Z are all equally shit. Stop pretending that Greco isn't garbage.
>>123177607
Exodus makes no sense if you haven't watched the first season, or the OVAs, or the movie, or the novels or the drama CDs.
>>123177683
How is G-Reco as shit as those two? It actually had a decent ending.
>>123177681
ZZ was 4-cour and it was still fucking shit as was Victory
>>123177792
tomino didn't do ZZ
>>123177743
Cross Ange had the best ending of all three though.
>>123177665
It's ok anon. He's probably just salty that Exodus' b/ray sales crushed all his other anime.
>>123177743
>G-Reco
>decent ending
oh boy.
Maaaan I really can't get over how shit GBFT is.
GBF was so great too.
>>123175086
Cross Ange objectively the best. And that's saying a lot since all five are shit.
>>123175911
look at this shit taste
>>123177689
Bullshit, all you are missing out on is Goubain. The OVA and movie are worth watching however.
>>123177963
No. I had trouble understanding what was happening in exodus so I was forced to watch everything that came before it.
>>123177963
But you won't know what the loli Espressos are or what does the gold statue thing do.
>>123175086
Exodus definitely takes the spotlight for me.
>>123177850

Uh...he did. Are you stupid?
>>123176947
>The only show that stayed true to what it wanted to do
LOL
>>123177214
> A/Z
Each fight is different and all of them are resolved with tactics and strategies
G-Reco/Cross Ange
Each fight is repeat of the same and all of them are resolved with clash of beam swords, thoughtless shooting of guns and screaming at each other. Basically Sengoku Basara/Musou in space.
>>123175086
I don't know a single thing about Fafner but it wins by elimination.
>>123178143
It doesn't matter Cross Ange was supposed to be a mainly comedy. It's okay if the side dishes aren't good as the main dishes which are the jokes are amazing.
>>123178213
>Each fight is different and all of them are resolved with tactics and strategies
This troll
>>123178037
You can always read a synopsis or something if you can't work it out from context. Fafner is not worth watching but everything relating to it is.
>>123178209
>First episode had the MC get beaten, restrained and sexually assaulted.
>Last episode had the MC get beaten, restrained and sexually assaulted.
>>123175086
G-RECO was the only one that had an increase in sales after it finished, for what its worth.
>>123178248
>Cross Ange was supposed to be a mainly comedy.
Yet it was unfunny
>>123178213
>resolved with tactics and strategies
If Inaho asspulls can be called "tactics" then sure. Him doing inhuman observations is no different from the Villkiss pulling a new power out of its ass.
Hands down G-Reco. Tomino crammed a 100 episode worth characters, setting and plot in 26, and still managed to give a sense to everything and convey a lot of strong messages.
>>123178335
The jokes were genuinely amusing. It's sad you are too autistic to appreciate it
How many people are actually watching Fafner though?
G-Reco, despite its flows, was a good, fun and lively adventure. Love the character and the attention to detail.
Aldnoah still suffer from its artistic direction (grey color and 3D mecha) that's make the visuals to artificial but have a more interesting story than its first season.
Cross Ange, like G-Reco, was a fun ride despite the obvious flow. Really enjoy the character, especially Ange.
GBFT is the first season without the love letter to gundam. and like the previous season, the tournament setting kill any kind of suspense right from the beginning.
Overall, G-Reco
>>123178306
While I agree the first half of Fafner felt like a cheap copy of Eva the rest was great and overall great
I know that Try was the worst. Failure as sequel, failure as independent story. Waste of time and resources.
>>123178213
>resolved with tactics and strategies
>>123178395
The only people who thought the jokes are amusing were autists
>>123178461
Herewego.jpg. Eva didn't invent giant robots fighting aliens.
>>123178395
It's sad you think the jokes were
>genuinely amusing
>>123178316
>sexually assaulted
Just a routine cavity search, friend.
>>123178213
>Each fight is different and all of them are resolved with tactics and strategies
Yeah, which is why the refrigerator, Mazuurek, and the lightning mech all just activated their respective fields and walked forward right?
All of the AZ mechs rely on gimmicks for the express purpose of letting imaho and his cyborg eye look good, or did you forget the "fight" where inaho has his magic eye multibox all the UFE mechs to kill the replicator mech?
Quick thinking and utilizing tactics are all fine and good but you seem to forget that AZ presents itself as a RR war drama. In which case pilots winning due to better piloting skills fits much more thematically than gimmicks made to glorify the highschooler that is the UFE's one-man army. I guess I can't say I expected much from someone who doesn't even know the difference between tactics and strategy.
>>123178399
More than you think. Their volume 1 and 2 blueray sales was topping last month if I remember correctly
>>123178560
You don't seriously think Fafner doesn't take heavy inspiration from Eva do you?
G reco is meh
Fafner is slightly better
>>123178560
It's just being delusional to say fafner wasn't influenced by eva.
haven't even seen Fafner S1 but I gave S2 a try and I'm loving it
AZ and Ange don't even come close
haven't seen the rest
>>123175915
>Gundam Build Fighters Try because I bought some of the impressive HGUC models.
Can I ask you what does HGUC have to do with Try? Crossbone? Otherwise it completely ignores that part of Gundam, instead comes with shitty super robot wannabes(Tryon 3 being only good one) and Exia copies. There's barely any UC in the show, the Zaku team were just jobbers too who didn't get to do anything. The first season actually did show love towards UC such as Gyan which actually got a popularity boost thanks to it.
>>123175915
>impressive models
they just reused old models' bases how is that impressive in any way?
>>123179087
Actually most Try kits seem to be completely new molds such as The End, which is quite impressive. Whether your like it or not is different case.
>>123175086
Reco by far.
>>123175086
Doamaiger D is best mecha this season.
AZ > CA > Fafner >>>> Greco > Try
>>123180381
Nice troll
>>123180589
It's actually correct.
>>123180665
It's not.. Anyone who puts A/Z or CA above anything at this point is a troll or has legit shit taste.
>>123178663
Fafner starts out similar but the further you get in the more it diverges.
If you want the biggest difference Eva is "GET IN THE ROBOT" while Fafner is "PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE ROBOT"
>>123180923
I legitly spit out my water lol. Never thought of fafner that way. And no I'm not the same person as that guy.

>>123182666
A/Z is shit.
>>123175086
I liked Aldnoah the best, but I didn't watch Fafner or that middle one
>>123175086
Cross Ange no contest.
Build fighter try was really subpar compared to the first season. G-rec was a snore fest. A/Z was a try-hard mess. Fafner was generic.
>>123177032
>>123178213
>interesting fights
Are you kidding me? The fights in A/Z are easily the worst part of the show. The battle happenings are literally just plot convenience on levels that put even Gundam SEED to shame.
Cross Ange is the best.
People who hate it do so because they either didn't focus on the side characters... lol.. the word side means so little to people.
Or they wanted more yuri.
OR haven't watched it.
>>123175915
For instance, this guy clearly didn't watch it past episode 1.
G-Reco wasn't good. It tried to do a lot and make things become progressively more epic in a world sense but the characters really really really brought the show down. They're all terrible.
Build Fighters Try.... the characters weren't fun and the fights weren't fun. It's a glorified commercial.
Aldnoah Zero was interesting. I won't deny that there were some genuinely intriguing moments, but that's all it had. No real substance... just weirdly focused on drama.
Fafner... No clue.
C/A>AZ>>>>>>>>>GReco>>>>>>>>>>>GBFT
When will this type of threads die?
I feel like this guy is the VVV guy on /m/
>>123183090
I miss M3.
>>123183496
>>123182796
I love how the intelligence of the comments goes down when people same that Cross Ange was the best. Really puts things in perspective.

Best girl and loli steals the show.
>>123183790
I love how the shitposting increases when people actually like Cross Ange. Really puts things in perspective.
Also, C/A is generally 1 or 2 on most of these lists.
>>123185426
CA is on the most troll lists.
Fafner and G-Reco are on the most legit list
Cross to the Ange, motherfucker
>>123185496
Can't tell if this is bait cause he mentions fafner or if he's serious about G-Reco being good.
Fafner >>>>>>>>>> the others
>>123183682
So do 3 other people inlcuding. I miss Tsug's crazy-faces.
>>123185839
Sorry man can't take someone who thinks CA is good seriously.
I remember when /a/ used to be fun and the shitposting used to be clever
>>123175086
The only one I didn't watch was Fafner but I feel its safe to assume Fafner was the best considering the quality of the other four.
