So Dairanger dvds are out, anyone pick it up?
from the first few episodes, translations are pretty good, not many complaints.

Getting into the home straight here, starting with a Haruka ep, in which time travel tenses get mildly annoying and dramatic conversations ensue.

Probably the episode with the most feels and one of my favorite ones to boot (and I'm not one of the shippers).
Also, those Haruka faces.

Also thanks for the episode!

How many episodes again? 51, I think?
Here is a quick question...just how successful is Gundam in Japan? Is it some huge money maker? Are there younger Gundam fans, or is it mostly older men who enjoyed the early anime?
It's one of the most widely known anime franchises and has become a cultural icon to the point where they were considering it as a mascot for the olympics (hot beaten out by Doraemon last I checked). It's also one of Bandai's biggest regular money makers on their annual reports.
You may as well have asked how big tom and jerry or scooby doo are in the US.
>>13511527
In popularity terms it's like Japan's star wars

not really big anymore, then

Was he actually gay?
The ending talk with Lily seemed to really hint at it
Yes, but he lived in a society that being openly gay would ruin any political power he could achieve
>>13511110
Is the creepy guy Takehito Koyasu played in G-Reco related to him?
>>13511132
I wouldn't be too sure of that. He also thought he lived in a society where anyone in a dress would never be able to wield real authority and Lily disproved that. Guin fears he lives in that kind of society and is afraid of coming out, but if women are being accepted it's possible gays would be too.
Are there any other series that heavily feature both powered armor and mecha like Mospeada does?
>>13511071
Bubblegum Crisis, kind of.
Macross Frontier had that suit they wore sometimes but I can't recall if they ever fought with it. And then you got stuff like King Gainer that had almost-human-sized mecha alongside the Overmen, if that counts.
Tekkaman blade cause pegas
Southern Cross
Dorvack
Blassreiter
Megabot team's shilling seems to be working. Big money and talent is being attracted to this project. I fear for what will eventually come of it. It'd be a shame if it ends up being a one sided battle where Kuratas is drowned in money.
Almost forgot, but here's the link to the article.

you won't get real proper walking robot legs without loadsa money.
Megabot is such an ugly piece of shit. And that name... Jesus Christ
It was okay.
Not Valvrager, but not really, no.

Ok I'm impressed, you get points for innovation, but don't let it go to your head.
Why isn't Voltron ever discussed on /m/? I don't think I have ever seen a Voltron thread here.
You just posted one.
>>13510981
There's nothing special about Voltron.
Its concept was already done before with Getter Robo and Combattler V.
Because Golion wasn't really remarkable.
It just got popular in the west. The only real thing of note in the series is killing one of the pilots early on and if that's it for your series that's sad.
Is the Gespenst based on anything, or is it an entirely original design?
Originally made for Hero Senki, an RPG on the SFC. Gilliam henshins into it.
>>13510933
I think the question is whether it's obviously based off an existing mech, like how Huckebeins were very, very clearly Gundams or how the Grungusts are generic super robots with bits of Daitarn 3 in them n whatnot. Can't say I can identify any inspiration for the Gespenst, truth be told.
>>13510913
Huckebeins are not-Gundams, Lions are not-Valks, Grungusts are not-Daitarn woth some not-Mazinger in there, Gespensts started as a not-Rider. Euzeth's ludicrously complicated scheme spanning across four games and multiple lifetimes was all to become a not-Ultraman.
Welcome to SRW. It's references all the way down.
Does that mean Apollo is Gou?

So Games Workshop have a pretty good reputation for helping hobbyists out with building and painting figures. I sent them a message to ask whether their shop assistants could help me out with Gunpla, since I've never built them before and could use some first-hand help when it comes to making and painting figures. I assumed the crossover from Warhammer to Gunpla isn't that big of a stretch so it wouldn't be much of an issue.
They said they cannot help with anything they don't stock on store shelves. Out of ideas and unsure of what else I could actually...

Anon, you're precious. GW only cares about GW stuff and pretend the modeling world at large simply doesn't exist. Stay away from them.
>>13510391
Getting that impression now. Though as far as I'm aware, they're the only decent source of modelling glue and paint in my area. I'd hoped they could at least tell me what stuff I'd need.
>>13510404
GW stuff is generally overpriced or way overpriced, you can source general modeling supplies like glue or clippers much cheaper from general hobby or art stores. The only thing you might want from them is paints, which are good but have the issue of dying up really fast.
If I remember correctly, each of the "Side" consisted of 40 to 80 colonies (each 30 km long and 8 wide - wondering where zeek`s have as much gas?).
>1) 0078 year Universal Century
Earth Federation
Earth: 4.3 billion
Sides 1, 2, 4: 2.8 billion (total)
Said 5: 2 billion (it consisted of 80 colonies)
The Duchy of Zeon
Side 3: 1.3 billion
Future Neutrals
Side 6: 900 million
>2) 0079 year Universal Century
Losses in the first phase of the One Year War
Earth Federation
Earth: 3.8 billion (500 million dead)
The sides 1, 2, 4: somehow destroyed (2.8 billion dead)
Side 5: completely destroyed (2 billion dead)
The Duchy of Zeon
Side 3: 1.3 billion (untouched)
Neutrals
Side 6: 900 million (unchanged)
In other words, after the "War of the one-week" actually population of the Earth Federation totaled 3.8 billion against 1.3 billion at Zeon; the remaining 5.3 billion turned into cosmic dust ... (At this scale massacre at all strange that Zabi were at least some loyal forces - in theory people who sanction whis were to destroy their own people, just fo case ...)
>And now it gets weird:
In "Gundam 0079" states that "the Sides 1, 2, 4 and 5" were completely destroyed - they crossed the big X in one of the episodes, and during the attack on the "Solomon" states that fleets Federation gathered in the ruins, "the Sides 1 and 4 ". The only notable exception is less and the whole habitable colony of "Texas".
And yet, in the "Zeta", "ZZ", and "Char`s counterattack " we see a lot of colonies on the "side 1 and 2" no signs of damage or sparse population. "Side 4", the former "Side of 5", a zone of "shallow water" filled with the debris of the colonies; "Sides 4 and 6" were also numbered, but they never appeared in the anime.
>Now, surprise - in the years 0093-0096 the population of the Spheres, according to the words and Kvess Ridden, has same 10 billion people ...
What the heck?!
>>13510345
>Kvess Ridden
I mean Quess Paraya and Riddhe Marcenas
>>13510345
It's a cartoon, you autist.
Shit is made up by terrible writers and changes every few years on the whims of cartoon producers.
>>13510345
Gundam blew its load on the first show because they didn't know they were setting up for a 100 year megafranchise that won't end until the Earth is consumed in the fires of the sun. It was never prepared for more stories set in the same universe, and every time they try they need to make up and retcon shit in order to make room.
Thats how you end up with 27 secret Gundams that were also active during the OYW that everyone conveniently forgot to mention at the time, or interquels like Unicorn...

Anyone remember Majin Bone?
It was pretty good.
Is this the Try OVA I've been hearing about?
Nice to see older Sekai

Anyone remember IGPX? I feel like watching through it some time. What are your thoughts on the show?

Deus Ex thread. Am I only one who gets boner from this picture?
>>13509905
I'd be a lot more excited if it wasn't a Deus Ex game, given that the story in them is eye-rolling terrible conspiracy shit.
Do those signs indicate that it's trying to do a segregation thing now too? Or is that just for detection purposes at a transport hub?
I absolutely loved DX Classic and Human Revolution. I'm not sure how I feel about the new one. I hate the Deus Ex tradition of none of your choices from the previous game mattering since it's apparently mankind's destiny for everything to be terrible forever.
But hey, it might be good. And if not, maybe the Witcher devs will pull through with their cyberpunk thing.
I liked Human Revolution, but after playing the original I can see why people tend to give it a hard time. There's just so much more to Deus Ex that isn't in HR.
Looking forward to Mankind Divided though.
