I realize that TARS was intentionally designed to resemble the monoliths from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but the design still annoys me. Surely there's better methods of locomotion for robots in the near future right? At least it was fun to watch as we are shown the different ways it can unfold and "transform" in some ways.
I liked TARS the most as a character though, I liked his role in the story and I thought he was very well voiced. I liked it that the voice sounded completely human in every way, because that kind of technology is being developed right now (soon we'll be able to chose which celebrity voice we want to read audiobooks to us, and it will flawlessly replicate it for us in real time, imagine that).
I liked TARS as a character because I loved it that there was a robot in a movie, yet the movie itself didn't really dwell on it. It's like, "Yeah there are robots in the future and they help us do stuff, no big deal..." Too much fiction in my opinion follow the trends laid down by the Hal 9000, and I loved it that TARS even made a joke about it.
I get the sense that TARS was actually creating his own humor which suggests that he actually had consciousness and self-awareness. I love it that there's a movie with a robot conscious entity that doesn't go around killing people, that is (apparently) bound by the three laws and seems to be okay with it. TARS was like a living, breathing character right there with all of the other human cast, and I want to see more robot characters like that in fiction.

He wanted to make a robot that wasn't a robot, essentially. At least, not what westerners think of when they hear "robot".
Remember that what the west thinks when they hear the word and what the east thinks are very different things.

That's interesting. Please elaborate.
BESPA lives!

Is that Nahel Argama?

I like number two, I'd like number three if it had normal feet, number 4 is a bit weird since it looks like it has a Gundam face underneath a helmet.
I hate all of them, but number 3 has some really cool feet.
Can I have a Makoto Kobayashi thread please?
I just got the OST for Dragon's Heaven, great stuff

ITT: pitch your super-unique ideas and delusional wishes, express your bitterness and disappointment, and circlejerk copiously
I'll start (I've already mentioned it often but why the fuck shouldn't I do it again?):
Suzuka Hachitai 2050
A 3-parts high-budget early 90s OVA based on Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's unfulfilled project, with him as art director and character designer.
In 2050, the advances of technology have changed the face of motor sports: bike races now feature supersonic engines and cyborg race queens have replaced conventional pilots; These futuristic idols compete in incredibly dangerous deathraces to establish their countries' dominance over others, and to please their fans.
The story focuses on Japan's top race queen, a hot-blooded young girl with little experience of international circuits, participating in the 8-hours Suzuka endurance race against race queens from all over the world. Can she reconcile the staggering pressure that's put on her by all of Japan, and the romance that's growing between her and one of her mechanics? And, more importantly, can she win against her much more experienced rivals?
Lots of badass action scenes, tongue-in-cheek humor, /m/ ecchi, and engineering eye candy.
A Votoms sidestory about Fatty pilots and the glorious Balarant homeland.
>>11840875
>the romance that's growing between her and one of her mechanics?
Does the mechanic have issues because the last Race Queen he got close to died, preferably due to something he can blame himself for (not because it's really his fault but because he feels bad) like a mechanical failure?
Forrest Gump in UC.
A guy experiencing all the wars from being a Ball pilot in OYW to ship captain in Victory and living to tell the story.
Ok /m/, trivia time.
A while back someone encountered this rather hilarious ebay auction for some cobbled together ass-built Gundam, something something something Shining/Burning with maybe a bit of RX-78 or something thrown in, god I don't remember.
The question for you fuckers, however, is this:
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER WHAT WE CALLED THAT?
IT'S REALLY BUGGING ME.
I KNOW FOR A FACT WE RAN THAT ONE TO THE GROUND, MANY LAUGHS WERE HAD, IT WAS A BETTER TIME BACK THEN.
AND I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WE FUCKING CALLED THAT PARTICULAR ASS-TASTIC AUCTIONED GUNDAM.
Random Ikaruga pic for your troubles, gents.
Jesus that's beautiful.
>>11826859
They got lazy with the card art for the bosses, though.
Wait
Nevermind
It was Vintage Gundam.
Well then, gonna just deposit more of these for the masses...
Is it safe to assume that /m/ has reached the same conclusion that GBF Try is kinda crap? I base this assumption on the lack of GBFT threads.GBF was great, GBFT just doesn't have the appeal...
BUT it did give us this sexy beast and in three variants. So ... Ez8 appreciation thread maybe?
UNF!
It's basically another team battle show for kids rather than a successor to Gunpnla Builders and Build Fighters, yes.
I'm still hoping that they´ll get their shit together within the next few episodes though.

I always saw Keith as the Submissive one in that relationship. Mora is such a hulking space-dike, poor Keith probably gets whipped and fucked with a strap-on every night. Then he has to suck her enormous pseudo-penis of a clit and write an essay on why he's a sissy fucktoy who will never pilot a gundam.
>>11837869
Well that's not what I was picturing but okay.

Another Gunbuster episode.

1 and 2 are now in a dedicated folder, future episodes will be here as well. 3 and 4 should be up maybe tomorrow.
I kinda want to make love to you b0ss
Have you watched it yet?
>>11829877
I love me some Gunbuster, but 2 GB per episode? Also, I don't like installing anything additional to download anything, which you have to do on Mega, if the file is larger than 1GB.

ZOE + Platinum Games
DO IT KOJIMA I WILL RIKE IT
>>11834696
My only problem with that is the fact that Platinum Games action titles are frequently more humorous and lighthearted. Zone of the Enders is super cereal dramatic. The style of gameplay would be appropriate for them, but I'm not sure they could properly capture the tone of ZoE.
ITT: We post mecha, because goddamnit, we are /m/!
150, your faves, best gunpla/plamo...post these soldiers of sorrow, these machinations of war.
I got the stage 2 and need some cheer.

絶対合体!
The Astray Turn Red should have been based off the Powered Red, so that it could dual-wield both Tactical Arms swords at the same time.
Post ugly and badly designed mechs

The thing I never understood about Macross is why would you WANT to go from Fighter mode to Walker mode?
When has it ever been the case that a Fighter Pilot has looked down on the battlefield and said, "Damn, I wish I was down there with the Infantry, not flying around at 40,000 angels at twice the speed of sound"
>>11842649
Before Macross autists start giving their autistic in-universe answers, know this: mechs are a ridiculous concept, and their sole purpose is to look cool
So here's your answer: because they look COOL
>>11842649
>flying around at 40,000 angels
>angels
Go dance with an angel, mister!
>>11842649
>40,000 angels
>not angels 40.
Back to flight school.

Getting weird vibes from Mick Jack this episode. Is she just being Klim's mom to make sure he doesn't do something retarded, or is she warping his mind to make him a Chronicle Asher loser?
well this episode was fun. White flag scene didn't go to well
I loved Mask's exchange with Klim during the scene where they go over the attack plan.
The Mack Knife clapping along with Mask after the sarcastic boot-licking talk was just too much.
>dem not-Zakus with the Amerians.
Muh dick.

Hey, is there a general /m/ recommendation pic?

List of some shows. Posting video games and Gundam summaries next
It probably has Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still on it.
Not a bad place to start while you wait for further replies.
