Pepe Gundam confirmed to be customized in the next ep
>>13724331
Isn't it going to be cannibalized to customize the Barbs?
>>13724331

the head reminds me of the Girmore from G-reco, only it lacks the mono eye.
Let's talk uniforms, gear and practical mech piloting stuff.
I am working on some robot related fiction and part of it is I want to think about what the pilots would bring with them in case of being shot down. Currently my idea is a survival pack and inflatable raft stowed in the cockpit, which has a sidearm, flares, patches for their suit, water purification tablets, nutrient bar future rations stuff and basic medical supplies.
The setting is a Fafner style thing, so no space combat as yet.
As to the uniforms I imagined a Nihei-esque look but with less piss and weirdness. The suits have electrode pads on the inside to interface with the mech and send lifesigns etc to operators back at base, can be sealed (with a limited self contained air supply and the mech having its own air supply the helmet can connect to) and has reinforced upper body sections to protect the pilot from shrapnel/pistol fire a bit.
This is probably all shit, so what sort of practical details does /m/ like in its pilot gear? I liked how in Dragonar the pilots had that astronaut style hood under the helmet, or how VOTOMs has those cool gas masks.
If you want to add the shrapnel protection thing it only makes sense that you'd pad out the entire suit in the appropriate places rather than specifically the upper body, unless the cockpit of your mech had an Entry-Plug-esque securing function that clamps down on the lower body. Otherwise you just end up with an unbalanced look with a barrel torso but thin lower body.
>>13723956
That is a good point.
I will admit it was me trying to think of a purpose for the stereotype armoured shoulders/chest plates you see on some mech pilot gear.
>>13723970
If you can cost effectively build an armored pilot suit that won't compromise the intended role of the pilot, then you probably will. Joint Chiefs willing, at least.
Tell me what to watch /m/
/m/ is a vast sea of idk what the fuck to do with. Where do I start? Seen a couple of rec images but eh.
I liked Gunbuster, Ebangerion and Five Star Stories (latter for the designs).
Might give Gasaraki a try but that /k/ lvl turns me off. I also liked Diebuster and Gurren Lagann but don't see them as relevant.

He looks anorexic in that image, let me help.
>>13723467
Much thanks.
all i can come up with is he had a meh cgi movie. other than that perfection.
Are there any mecha anime that feature only regular mechs vs regular mechs instead of overpowered meme machines vs walking scrap metal? I watched the first few eps of armored trooper and enjoyed it despite it having a lot of "entire platoons of chucklefucks who never should have been given weapons/mechs vs blue haired hammer of god" fights.
You might like Dougram since it was made by the same guy, the main characters have a slightly more special mecha, but most battles still play out through teamwork, tactics, and pilot skill rather than just the MC having a high end machine though.
Votoms.
All the way.
>>13723209
Yeah, but Dougram's survivability is fucking insane.
I'm pretty sure Frog Sweeper is Shinobu from the original dancouga in the future. It's pretty obvious really

Finally done with box 1, admittedly a little later than I wanted. Moving on to box 2.One more box and 0083 to go
>>13723147
thank you for your service

Oh sweet!
>>13723147
You are a wonderful person, RX782
Would Kamille have piloted this?
>>13723145
No, he was supposed to pilot Re-Gz in the original drafts. But as his character was changed to Gyunei, they gave it to Amuro instead.
Jagd Doga is too beautiful.
>>13723358
Yeah but who's side was he on?

Just got back into watching anime again after a 2 year break. Was halfway through Orguss then when my life went to hell and I quit doing anything fun for a long time after. I even quit posting here on /m/ so I'm sure you must have noticed the posting quality go up in my absence!
First off I actually liked this show despite the flaws and my long break away. Animation sucked for the fights but they did get better in the second half (like all /m/ shows). Tons of recycled footage everywhere but...

Plots ok could have been better. Melodramatic at points and better in the second half but meanders throughout and takes a while to tell you what's going on. I enjoyed it still just cause it's weird for an /m/ show and not really Gundam. There is a little politicking which I appreciated from Chilam and their President later on but it doesn't amount to much. Most of the show is just about these characters, the world around them, and their journey and then Kei and Olson going to sacrifice themselves to...

Commander Masaki sends Bikel and Walter on vacation in Yamanashi Prefecture so that they can study human interaction. While on the way there, they run into a little old lady who seems to believe that the only thing you can rely on in the world is money! When she's kidnapped and held for ransom, Bikel and Walter have to shift into high gear to rescue her... and they're in for an explosive conclusion!
Notes:
The episode title, Gyakuten Baachan, is the exact sort of title that they use in the Ace Attorney games,...

By the way, is there some account (like Mega) where late people can download early episodes?
>>13722433
Search for Winspector for the earlier episodes in Nyaa anon.
Did she ever do anything?
Combat.
>>13722075
Leave.
>>13722532
Well, she did leave.
A couple of times, even.
Which mecha would she pilot?
>>13721784
>>13721784
I've never seen this movie, and know nothing of the actress. Is she missing her hand IRL or is it CGI trickery?
