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 got as many people as they could that were able to draw and ran a sort of competition. In the case of Kazumi Fujita, he drew very well and was quickly added. However, he also left the project mid-way through production. So to finish his work we had to approach various manga artist assistants, so as a system I must say it was pretty broken."

The more I read about it, the more I realize that Zeta's production staff and sponsors had no idea what the fuck they were doing.

>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, this got cancelled but it resurfaced as an OVA and they took around two years to do the first episode. So to put it really simply, Giant Robo was a byproduct of when Nishizaki tried to resurrect Yamato and failed.
That's pretty funny.

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).

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?

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?

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.

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.

>>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.
