Thanks to Ollie. He talks about literally everything in has career, from Zeta Gundam to Dragon's Heaven to Yamato. Worth a read.

This is fucking fascinating. Lots of crazy, interesting trivia.
>>14425887
Yeah, the parts where he talked about Zeta Gundam were interesting.
>"While there are many names listed on Zeta Gundam in terms of the mecha design, the truth of the matter though is that at the time there weren’t that many mecha designers around. For instance Mamoru Nagano wasn’t all that known at the time, Kazumi Fujita likewise and while Kunio Okawara’s name was included he was only really involved with the prior series but not so much on Zeta Gundam. So that meant they...

>The Giant Robo OVA was done at the same place where they were working on Yamato back in the 80s. At the time, they were working on the story for Yamato Resurrection and the producer bought an awful lot of red and blue paints to prepare for the project. Then suddenly Nishizaki cancelled the whole thing, which meant there was a lot of leftover blue and red paint. So they approached me about whether they could do something with Giant Robo, as the main mecha was red and blue. So this was around 85 or 86 and TBS were going to do this as a TV series. Again,...

what are some /m/ approved mech games?
>>14425027
For PC the only good one was that bootleg ExVs
Wish someone would still update it
>>14425102
Emulate/import some games.
The SRW and G-Gen games for turn based stuff. There's various ACE, Armored Core, Macross, and Gundam games for action.I also sort of miss SDGO. It was on PC, had huge MS selection, and manual aim. Shame about the playerbase though
Has anyone gotten Climax UC to run perfectly on Windows? It's like the only game to lag in PCSX2. It'll have moments of 60FPS but usually dips below that. Dialog stutters too which sucks. Really fun game otherwise.
GN-005 Gundam Virtue - Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (2007).

OH SHIT TRANS AM
Hey, sorry if there is a general thread for this, but I just finished Gundam Thunderbolt.
I found the animation/music pretty good (i'm kind of new to the genre). I was wondering if there were any other mecha series with animation as good as or better than this. I watched various iterations of Mazinger Z and Getter Robo and am a fan of the specific sound effects they use in older mecha shows (it's hard to convey through text, but hopefully you know what I mean)
TLDR; what are some shows with good hand-drawn animation or music?
>>14423235
Patlabor have both
there's two chronologies, both are great and worth the watch
OVA 1 (aka Early Days) -> Movie 1 -> Movie 2
TV - OVA 2
I second Patlabor.
The best thing about Gundam Unicorn is the OST and the animation is pretty good, the CGI is used mostly only when it's reasonably necesary (Unicorn transforming)
Turn A has amazing music and the art is gorgeous but I don't know how well it has aged.
>>14423248
Thank you. I'll start there. Are there any others?
Here is what I have gathered that I haven't already watched
Macross
GaoGaiGar/Brave stuff
Neo Getter vs Getter Robo
Are they any good? Or is there an /m/ approved anime picture/list?
>No Shin Mazinger sequel
>No Devilman anime adaptation
>No new Getter OVA
>No new Grendizer anime (Giga promo doesn't count)
I don't want to knock down Robot Girls Z, Cyborg 009 vs Devilman and Cutie Honey Tears, but seriously, can't we get the real thing? It's been 5 years and I'm not getting any younger.
>>14423171
You're lucky DP can even still make and sell shit like this in the modern day, kiddo. Most others would have given up long ago
>No Shin Mazinger sequel
it sucked anyway
>No Devilman anime adaptation
you got the coffee ad
>No new Getter OVA
trigger 2017
>No new Grendizer anime (Giga promo doesn't count)

You've already set your mind on a subjective thing. Why bother to try when you've already said you've done so and any proof brought up would be equally subjective?
Is Byston Well one of the most unique and interesting settings in mecha?
Dunbine is certainly one of the best outputs in mecha at least. Plenty of colorful mecha with cool insect motifs along with a fairy tale-ish atmosphere. And Tomino's finest finale that perfectly wraps up the story with plenty of action.
It's unfortunate that none of the other entries in the setting have been well received because they look pretty cool.
>>14421776
God, those eyes are nightmare fuel.
>>14421776
I only watched Dunbine (loved it) and Garzey's Wing (awful). Honestly still need to watch the other two.
>>14421996
The Dunbine OVA was glorious Izubuchi designs only has unreadable crabstick subs ;_;
>Flipped the shield.
For what purpose, Yas?
>>14421407
that way you just curl the left arm in and up like you're covering your face and it shields like that
>>14421407
That way, you can actually see shit when you use it to protect your head.
>>14421426
Makes sense back in the manga maybe, but all modern interpretations of the RX-78 have a swiveling mount is for. This just makes it so that when he looks left in his normal stance, Amuro can't see shit.
Besides, if you want to get technical; if the RX-78-02 held the shield the proper way a shield would be mounted normally, it would be sideways.
Thanks for the subs, based ano/m/: http://kitsunekko.net/dirlist.php?dir=subtitles%2FAoi+Ryuusei+SPT+Layzner%2F

You bastard.
What do you guys think would be like to have a relationship with and be a teenage boyfriend of Elaine like ?
>>14419238
very scary and very dangerous
do NOT date Elaine, Elaine is not cute, she's a freak and she will destroy and mutilate all of everything.
>>14419340
She seems quite nice and sweet
Fuck off, ESL.
You made this thread before.
Now stop.
Why is the American mech always the best?

Half the roster from the last game got removed (Bamco is slowly bringing them back.) and stock music (game supports custom music)
