Watched Patlabor the Movie, the OVA, and now I'm watching the TV series. I like it very much, but does it get more intense later on? More plot and mech battles and less nice comic episodes (though I enjoy it too).
There's a serious story arc that lasts like four or five episodes.

>but does it get more intense later on?
No. Enjoy your somewhat formulaic police comedy show.
OVA II breaks the formula a lot and is GREAT because of it. It's probably the best thing in Patlabor overall.
OVA II does which continues from the end of the TV series
But why didn't you watch movies 2 and 3 first, they belong to that continuity and not the TV canon
Being a puppet of the Jupiter Empire and having Maria as a political pawn, what exactly was Jupiter planning to do had they managed to gain control over Earth? Previous leadership like Crux Dogatie and the Colisto Brothers had focused on utterly destroying the planet, was Kagatie attempting to do the same with Angel Halo, or did they actually have a real agenda outside of Genocide this time?
>>14317382
No, that's the whole thing. Zanscare's the same as every Zeon descendant, that is to say a worthless, power-hungry, and genocidal group trying to grab the Earth out from the Federation's grip for the sake of some privileged few.
>>14317382
Something about motorcycles.

It's been a while since I watched Victory, so this is mostly guesswork rather than backed up by the facts, but...
Living in space sucks ass. The further away you live from earth, the more it sucks. See Crossbone and its insane rationing and executing everyone who wastes resources.
I'm gonna assume the Jupiter Empire expressed this discontent by trying to utterly ravage earth with nukes and colony lasers. Zanscare was slightly more level-headed and went for motorbike battleships bulldozing over cities and psychic genocide, presumably so they could move in after the fact.

Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

Previous thread
>>>14308858
Since that recent mecha designer thread died...
I don't get why people get all mad over Katoki's redesigns. These same people don't understand why he's so popular in Japan. You really LIKE the age of Okawara's fucking retarded proportions / lack of perspective drawings vs someone who can actually draw, and whom takes note of what military machines tend to look like? A lot of his shit's not bad, plus his redesigns of suits far surpass the originals (Refined Barzam, Gebera Tetra Kai etc). They're modern-looking suits for a modern age. I'm guessing the same kind of people who hate Katoki love the funky old shit 80s no grades, don't put on decals and such just because they want to be 100% anime accurate etc. Which is an intolerant faggot mentality. You'll never like anything new in Gundam, ever, if you can't mentally open yourself up to anything new.
>>14316324
The problem with Katoki is threefold.
He makes everything look like it's a military machine. All the art and creativity is sucked out of the mecha.
Katoki's mobile suits all have the same basic proportions.
Katoki poses them all the same way, which is ridiculous when you actually try to stand like that.
>>14316382
The point is the make it look like a military machine.
The have the same proportions because that's his style.
You don't draw dynamic poses when doing line-art to use as a reference when animating.
>>14316382
>Katoki poses them all the same way, which is ridiculous when you actually try to stand like that.
It's reference lineart. The majority of mechanical designers use the same or a similar pose. Even Okawara.
And of course he makes them look like military machines. that's what they are supposed to be and a part of why a lot of his redesigns are popular.
Hi /m/
The last thing new from Gundam I watched was the Unicorn OVA... Since then, I haven't watched anything Gundam related, because I feel like it is just a bunch of cheap kid show with nothing really new, interesting, or even in the spirit of Gundam. I always thought Gundam was a real robot scifi anime, with deep character interactions and wars in space, interesting stories with a lot of geopolitical stuff put in-between character relationships... And what I saw from AGE, Reconguista or even Build Fighter sound really disappointing in regards to my expactations about a Gundam show. Am I wrong? Why do people watch those show? Is Iron Blooded Orphan any different? What is going on with the Gundam franchise anyway?
(you)
nice pasta bro. bait's super stale however.
>>14315860
No bait intended, I would love to hear more about your opinion on the matter.
>>14315854
>I always thought Gundam was a real robot scifi anime,
it was realer than what had largely been done before, but still not necessarily real. the insane development pace of early UC is proof of that.
>with deep character interactions
using the term deep is never ever not bait.
>and wars in space
I wish. far to many gundam series are about and largely take place on earth.
>interesting stories with a lot of geopolitical stuff put in-between character relationships...
thats always been a fluffy backdrop thing rather than a concentrated foreground one.

Figured a new thread would be better. Anyhow, I'll dump later. Find the chapter below and enjoy some fine tunes.

We have an official soda.

>Might Gaine in SRW V
They're doing it, they're finally doing it.
finally a braves show that isn't gaogaigar again and it's one of the better ones in the braves series.
Too bad Macross isn't in. It'd be amusing considering how the villains use music to power up their troops in the last arc.
I really hope the Might Kaiser is there. It's my favorite unit from the series, in spite of not getting much spotlight since it's quickly replaced by the Great Might Gaine. It still gets some neat moments during its short run as the main robot though, especially the scene where it drills through Earth's core to go from Brazil to Japan.

![Paul-Otaking-Johnson-Tie-Fighter-Interview[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/USG4rtn.jpg "Paul-Otaking-Johnson-Tie-Fighter-Interview[1]")
Why doesn't Otaking make comics? Budget wise it's the best thing for him to do. Animation is time consuming and costly. Comics are the right trade off of time/money in comparison to the final product. And if the comic gets big, they can be turned into animation easily. Comics even serve as pre-made storyboards.
>>14310083
Not to mention that he can put all the shading he wants in comics.
>>14310083
Because a comic and animation are different.
>>14310083
if he made comics his glaring anatomy flaws and lack of fundamentals would be more transparent.
Exactly
