Sup /m/en. I've been wondering how to get into the Mazinger series. Is it the same kind of situation as Getter Robo where there's both an anime and a manga but the manga is the better option or is it okay to dive right into the anime? How did you start off? Which do you prefer if you've seen/read both?
Also Mazinger thread I suppose.
>>13567065
Mazinger is the opposite of Getter in that regard, funny enough. The manga are pretty terrible compared to the anime, with the only possible exception being the toei anime, and that's entirely based off of personal taste. That being said, I would recommend starting either with the original manga while keeping in mind that it drops in quality around the end of the third volume or so, Shin Mazinger, or Mazinkaiser.
>>13567107
I wouldn't go as far as calling the manga terrible. Sure, Nagai made it mostly to let off steam, but there's some pretty engaging stuff in it, most notably Lorelei.
>>13567065
Shin Mazinger and Mazinkaiser are both good, though in different ways - Shin is directed by Imagawa so expect lots of dramatic twists and on-foot martial arts action. Mazinkaiser is a classic super robot vs evil professor romp, though the movie is kinda dumb.
The Toei show's also worth a watch if you can spare the time, but unless you're Italian you won't be watching Great or any of the crossover movies.
Oh, and there's also SKL, which is pretty much a heavy metal album come to life. Basically the edgier bits of Violence Jack with a robot.
>>13567065
Mazinger is less plot heavy and has a variety of style-faithful anime series, so the way to enjoy the series isn't so dependent on where you start.
I'd say the best ways to check out Mazinger would probably be like
Mazinkaiser (short, great animation and good mix of tv-manga mazinger)
Z/Great/Gren manga (fairly short and good, great isn't fully translated)
Shin Mazinger Z-hen (more serious version of the manga full of imagawa-isms)
Toei Mazin Z series (very different from the manga and z-hen, has 92 eps, fully translated in good quality)
WHAT DID HE MEAN BY THIS!?
Leave the /tv/ memes there, please.
>>13567009
Nothing, just Nagai being the shit writer he is.

This thread will probably be full of Loran, he's gotten too popular to be arousing.
I like to imagine that Haman has a nice ass in my femdom facesitting fantasies.
>>13566631
Haman spends a lot of time in zero-G, and probably doesn't take very good care of herself since she only cares about revenge. I imagine she's thin, with little muscle tone. Maybe slightly anemic.

and azrael sperging out
>>13566231
None.
I nominate Garo (1st), Kamen Rider Black, 1971 and Ultraman Tiga
>>13566008
Tiga was not better than Return of.
Black was not even that good.
>>13566034
Black has good atmosphere and it's shot in creative ways, I think.

Go Nagai noob here (only saw some Getter).
Just finished “Mazinger Edition Z: The Impact!” ep 26, and I’m like, wat.
Is that really the last episode? Any sequel (even in manga)?
Since I liked the whole show, I’m just a bit surprised by the ending.
Is there anything “too deep for me” to understand, related to some larger Go Nagai’s World?
The last episode (and the first episode done in media res) is a reference to how Mazinger Z ended with the introduction to the Mykene Empire and Great Mazinger.
>>13565830
It's meant to mirror Mazinger Z's original ending, with Z trashed and Great swooping in to save Kouji's ass.
This is complicated by the lack of a Shin Great, and the fact that Tetsuya would have to be a robot protagonist. Also Kenzo being a headcrab.
>>13565830
The last episode was the intro to the first one Mazinger loses whichwouldhave segued into Shin Great Mazinger like the original series.
Shin Great never ever

Did the SDF-1 feel like it was only a 1.2 km long ship to you?
It seemed like they should have given it bigger official measurements with all the empty space inside.
yeah it was a little ridiculous. Macross City was all in the "legs" of the ship. on several levels.
see this picture.
the city is built around the ship and so are those runways.
heavy airplanes like airliners and cargo planes. They need at least 2.5 km of runway.
one thing to remember about Macross. the only consistent thing is the inconsistency. all explained away as all macross shows and movies are actually "in universe shows and movies, of actual events in the macross universe".
>>13565060
Well VF's are not regular jets so they dont need all that space to park, specially with the gerwalk mode
>>13565060
The vertical height alone accounts for enough volume to hold Macross City.
Hey guys, just recently started playing this for the first time. First Front Mission I've ever played in fact and I'm having a blast. Any tips or things I should know? I'm not too far I think, I just got Yun.

Also I think you're in the Emma route. Pretty sure that's the easier of the 2.

Seriously who the fuck are you
>>13563270
So much despair as of lately. Still, nobody died this episode so it's not as bad as it looks.
I'm not even sure what the point of stutter's was aside from Mikono damage control for people still raging about Evol.

Alright /m/ what are you thoughts on crest of the stars series? Do you like the space elv... I mean abh empire? Why is the abh barely able to beat the humans even though they're made out to be this amazing space empire with better tech and super genetic engineering? How would the abh empire fair against the galactic empire or alliance of free planets from legend of the galactic heroes? Would you give up humanity for spaceelf vagina?Would you join the abh empire?
>>13563222
I don't even care about the Space Elf pussy, I'd just join them just for it's own sake because the Abh society is just plain better than normal society here and now and human society in it's own setting. It's an idealized culture for a reason.
I mean, the only bad thing I can think of about them is that they lock prisoners up for decades in draconian conditions. And I don't even think that's really bad - I just understand that some people would see it as such.
The Space Elf pussy is pretty hot though, so it's a nice bonus. Especially when they live to like 120 or something and don't age past about 25/30.
Overrated crap with horrible pacing.
Nothing ever happens - the anime.
