>>11215880
So... you're happy that this is all the animu treatment FM is going to get? I thought it deserved better than that.
>>11216540
The Argevollen is roughly the same size as the Trail Kriegers which makes it really weird to look at when it's standing next to them.
>>11217886
It's slightly taller and much more slim, so yeah.
It's like looking at 80 meter EVA next to 75m Jaegers
>>11217832
>I thought it deserved better than that.
I would like 'real' front mission anime, but it's seems that gritty realistic war is not quite as popular for anime adaptation.
I mean cool mangas like Red Eyes also deserve anime adaptation, it doesn't even have on-page sex for Christ's sake.

It's not that weird really. For starters his off-duty. More importantly, he's been more successful the last few episodes. In the first handful of episodes he's pretty clearly feeling like a loser, so he's a bit angry as a result.
Overall, I'd really starting to appriciate Argevollen. It feels as if the show is getting more comfortable with its own skin.
>>11229419
But M3's already doing that this season.
>>11229477
>>getting more comfortable with its own skin.
>>11229313

Hi /m/.
Is Argevollen really "tacticool " and "strategic" as some of my friends are saying?
Also apart from that, what else I am in for?
>>11232132
It has combined arms. Not sure if you can call it tacticool.
>>11232132
No. Probably not. There is some strategy in the show, but its not something they rely on besides "ambush these guys" "destroy these guys", etc.
The mechs are very, very stompy, and look like something out of front mission or mechwarrior. Except for the MC who pretty much has a gundam. The show was some nice conceits like none of the mechs fly, and what makes the mc mecha special is it's fast and agile, and no one is used to that.
But if you are looking for more votoms, or band of bothers with mech, it so isn't that. It's like a more serious Irresponsible captain Tylor, or down periscope. A rag tag group of really, really bad soldiers just try to stay alive in a war that isn't going their side's way.
>>11232132
>>11232187
I would like to add that while the MC does have a Special Mecha, it has yet to do something really, truly extraordinary to make us say "Yeah, that OP". The Argevollen is quick, nimble and they give it a Full Battle Rifle to make better use of it's stats. Yet this is not that out there yet the enemy faction is still quite scared of it and it's leading to an overreaction on their part and that aids to the overall plot quite nicely.
>>11232187
>>11232303
> gottagofast prototype
Also, Argevollen is special because it's using similar control to TSF, meaning there's no lag in the operation.
Aside from that it's seems to be built on much denser material since it's weight are similar to other Krieger despite being CLAMP-tier thin
>>11232303
>over reactions
Now let's be honest here - they actually don't give a flying fuck compared to every other mech show.
>>11232303
>overreaction on their part
They aren't scared of it. They walked all over their enemy and then they go "the hell is this thing intel didn't tell us about this" so they investigate. The person who gives the biggest shit about it at the moment is not-M'Quve.
>>11233263
>>11233275
The Alliance Commanding Officers want it destroyed, the enemy Ace want it for himself, the Intelligence Division AND one of the Alliance's high ranking officers want to capture it too. They, individualy, may not be such an 'over-reaction' but this inner competition could potentially be it.
I wonder when Argevollen will actually start making a difference enough that the brass take notice, anyway?
>>11233332
They certainly aren't focussing any resources on it they should better use somewhere else. Military Intelligence doesn't seem to be doing anything other than collecting intel and the ace isn't going Ahab on this white whale either.
>>11233342
Probably never. At best they're going to upgrade the rest of their fleet with its control system.
>>11232187
> A rag tag group of really, really bad soldiers
They got two aces and a really good CO in their unit, hardly what I'd call ragtag or bad solders. It's also kinda sad that you forgot to mention that the producers seem to be trying to sell this via character interactions because that's where the series really shone once everybody was not preoccupied with running away anymore.
>>11232132
think is as valkyria chronicle: Mech vers
>>11233355
Episode 05 around 12:37 "I´ve decided we need to acquire the enemy´s new model, by any means necessary.". He even said that he is willing to go against "the flies in intelligence" for it. As for the Intelligence Agency it's clear that it has yet to act as it's simply not it's turn and that's it's because the Ace´s second round is going to be in the next episode... With jetpacks, knives and everything you need for a high speed ride.
Let it never be said I don't have autism.
>>11233381
That's very good dude. I didn't notice that they put the weapons down each page. The weapons part is still incomplete as they lack the shoulder cannons, pile-bunker, the rocket-powered sword and the like. Not to mention the other configurations like the radar package and the chicken legs from both sides, but it's good to see that they are improving the site.
So the rifle that they give to the Argevollen is an assault type. Makes sense given the extra grip and size.

>Argevollen gets mass-produced and Ingelmia responds with their own new models
>turns out Wild Reld (or whatever) is playing both sides

Keep the ERP on facebook, please
So /m/, how do you want Argevollen to develop going forward? Do you want more character building episodes and less combat? More combat and less character stuff? Or about what we have now?
Also, what are the odds we end up with an Argevollen clone on the enemy side? I'm betting 5:2 odds that the "One Man Army" dude ends up in an Argevollen knock-off and he and Tokimune battle it out in the end to as a way to show that Tokimune has become a skilled pilot who doesn't just rely on his mech being OP.
>>11240867
Keep the pace, it's perfect
Also, the next duel is clearly between normal Gunbass and Argevollen, though we might even see such knockoff in the future

I dont like the solo one man army like a single Gundam gets a credit, it should be the whole unit deserve to win in the battle.
Not just the good guys always win through the battle there should be sometimes loss to make balance and challenge.
>>11241339
>>comfy
Landscapes tend to do that. While it may be true that there is not much movement in them, Argevollen backgrounds and it's events do have a very 'scenic' feel to them. This is something to note as other animes this season IMHO are not at this level.
>>11242046
I can really tell they put this effort at the scenery, everything seems so... alive

Fuck you. Right now it's either Jamie or the Samonji. I like Samonji and his: "Just do what I say. I'm not even going to bother discussing it." style of command as in this case it actually implies that his pilots are trusting him for a change.
And I like Jamie because she deals with all the bullshit her employer is throwing at her very well. Plus I enjoy her attitude.

Something feel weird in the show and I'm not sure at first
Then I realize Independent unit 08 doesn't have attached field medic. And since literally everyone has screentime, I don't think being offscreen is the answer.
>>11247728
It's a cynical marketting ploy.
The more obvious and over-the-top you make the censoring, the more it screams "BUY THE BLURAYS TO SEE THREE SECONDS OF NIPPLE!"
These topless scenes would be totally forgettable normally. By adding ridiculous glowing white highlights over them, they make it seem way more racy than it actually is and make the viewers wonder about what glorious boobage their eyes are being robbed of.
>>11247728
Blame it on the TV-station who's doing half-assed sensorship like this.
>>11247832
It didn't even register to me what was being censored in Argevollen when it was mentioned until I actually saw the screenshots. I even watched the show... maybe I was asleep at the wheel.
>>11247832
Gotta sell them blurays somehow.
Since less and less people are buying anime in Japan, they have to resort to increasingly pathetic methods like this.
>>11247959
>>11247962
>>11247959
What I particularly like about this recent censorship for TV stuff is that they purposely censor stuff that isn't even remotely graphic, to make you think you're missing something EXTREEEEEEEEEME so you rush out to buy the uncensored BDs.
>>11247959
>>11247962
>>11247995
Or maybe the censorship board is getting a lot more restrictive as time goes by.
A cooler censorship would be something similar to that Nine Inch Nails vid: have a title card with the words like "Scene 4 of Episode 4 Not Allowed For Television Broadcast".It's cool because it's worse.
>>11233381
That's one fancy looking jeep.

I think it's more likely that it's the TV networks.
>>11247832
>Then I realize Independent unit 08 doesn't have attached field medic.
Neither did the Unit in Gasaraki, I think. And in that one, they were pumping their pilots full of drugs and hormones during combat.

>Generic mecha battler Argevollen may have piqued the curiosity of the previously uninterested with its latest 7th episode, which features its cast of well-endowed women enjoying the likes of some sensuous nude massaging – an event that may have helped alleviate the mundanity of the show’s formulaic mecha action.
Holy fuck. That article built it up as a whole scandalous episode of naked girls getting massages...
It was 20 seconds. And they had towels on.
>>11240881
I'm guessing Tokimune will win but the Argevollen will be damaged, leading the enemy to capture its arm or something. They'll reverse-engineer their own prototype out of it with a different control scheme. Probably one that is much harder on the pilot, like a neural link.
Also, am I the only one finding it weird how every soldier has a cell phone and they all work perfectly out in the middle of nowhere, yet nobody seems to have grasped the idea of flight?

Look at how the sky is purple. Atmosphere is fucked up and flight probably doesn't work.
>>11249518
Have there been any rocket-based weapons or has it all been projectiles? I'm wondering now if they would even know about rockets if they can't fly.
>>11249539
And have any birds been seen on the show?
>>11249539
>Have there been any rocket-based weapons or has it all been projectiles?
Yes they do, but we have yet to see guided missile or munitions of any kind
>I'm wondering now if they would even know about rockets if they can't fly.
They have wanzer-style rocket powered dash, oddly enough (which basically similar to DOM)

Front Mission animu when
Two mecha shows in one season where the mecha can't fly. I'm being spoiled with all of these legs actually being used. If the CG cancer that is killing mecha means I get mecha that actually run around being big stompy robots, I'm ok with a little 3d.
Say whatever you want about Aldnoah but at least the grunts are pretty grunty. Hopefully Argevollen's action shapes up to be good when we finally see more of it.
>>11250558
There will never be more action in argevollen.
Thats the catch.
>>11250558
Funny enough, stompy robot would be easier to animate well in 3d than 2d
>>11250548
Argevollen could be it as it's not too far from that with, of course, the Argevollen itself begin the only significant odd ball from a 'true' Front Mission anime. And even then I can see it working in a Tactical RPG game.

Is next ep yet?
It's been over 2 hours over the supposed release time now.
>>11257265
This happened last week as well, the 480p came out then the 720p was way late
>>11257271

How did you read this m/?

Also I was pleasantly surprised that the other brother was taken alive. Is that marker his work for his dead bro or is it something left from the incident years earlier?

>>11257513
Loved how it too could tank hits pretty well. That certainly makes the Argevollen less OP, for one.
>>11257594
Don't forget Dem Landscapes.
>>11257528
They showed a lot of weapon configurations in the first episodes. This marksman type is sure to appear in the near future.
>>11257575
It looks like an Arandas type. Pic -possibly- Related.
>>11257523
I think I can spy that cone in bird's eyes shot during the first scene already.
>>11257523
I'm pretty sure it's related to the dead sister.
Any chance we might see kits?
I really want those grunts. Maybe with modular add-ons sold seperately.
>>11257933
Xebec has done a number of mecha shows, but only a single one got kits.

Good episode.
A friend of mine absolutely hates this show. And yet praisesAZas the best shit in years. I for oneam enjoying both

>>Grunt mechs not exploding upon being destroyed
It's Dougram all over again. Loving it.
>>11257965
I'm pretty sure I've seen kits for Fafner, Break Blade, and Lagrange, at least.

All of my want
>>11258399
Well, the two are nothing alike. I hate how A.Z threads are mostly shitposting since it's the cool thing to hate at the moment but on the plus side it means that all of the shitposters are distracted and stay out of Argevollen threads.
>>11258421
>I mean exclude on the budget relate issues there nothing worth hating about this show
Most people are whining about being bland. And the first episode being another 0079 first episode expy (which I kinda agree). But this is a rather narrow minded view. Just likeM3it became gradually better as time passed.
>>11258438
might be true. I think I like this show cause it like the mech ver of valkyria chronicle. Plus the fight in term of mech vs mech are better than AZ
>>11258453
AZ doesn't really have much conventional mecha action, the point is "enemy mecha has a superpower, inaho figures out how to counter it and comes up with a plan to do so" rather than "run up and outpilot the enemy".
>the fight in term of mech vs mech are better than AZ
Because excluding Argevollen every other unit act like big stompy robot and consistently work that way.
And even Argevollen itself just fast and nimble, nothing out f the realm of the verse.
On top of that, Argevollen mooks are fairly competent.
>>11258459
>>11258459
the fights rely too much on the martian mech being stupid (or fans would say cocky). it is in comparison kinda of static.
this post from /a/ summerize the fights' stupidity
First he had to drop lure the enemy on a bridge,remove his footing to dump him in the water and spot his point and then rush him.
Second time he baited the enemy and exploited some physics to hold him in place for a surprise attack from his blind spot.
Third time he baited the enemy and held him still the same way, then he removed the enemy's footing and dumped him in the water.
Fourth time he just shot her in the ass until a motherfucking battleship saved his ass and the martian decided to charge it head on, without knowing that getting rammed by battleships was her mech's weakness.
Aldnoah.Zero is pretty much just like every other massively over-hyped and over-marketed Aniplex style over substance series. Argevollen may not have the sheer budget and popular otaku fan favorite staffers on board for it but at least it has it's priorities straight and seems to be telling a proper ongoing narrative rather than just pre-packaged 2 part crazy mecha of the week arcs that can make the easy transition to Blu-Ray packages with scraps of a coherent narrative sprinkled in-between to attempt tie it all together. Also the characters actually feel like characters rather than just cool looking one liner slinging automatons. Mind you the characters in Argevollen aren't fantastic by any straight but Aldnoah as a competitor sets the bar so low it easily surpasses it. Personally I'm just waiting for G-Reco and Build Fighters in fall though while I try to make the most of Summers mecha fare.
>>11258483
At this point, the show has gotten to the point that it has now lost the excuse of "yeah but they were incredibly overconfident" so I'm interested to see how it progresses now.
Mostly as a fan I'm just annoyed that there's no place to civilly discuss it and how the default response to any defence of it is "you're a blind fanboy making excuses" and how it's unacceptable to maybe think that the action or the characters aren't shit.
But this is an Argevollen thread so we should probably stop talking about Aldnoah.

So I haven't caught up with the series yet, still on Episode 4, but maybe this will be pink hair's mech after the mid-season upgrade? He was piloting an artillery type during the first three episodes, after all, and his personality seems to be that generic sniper character personality.
Unless he raises a bunch of death flags and dies, that is.
How big is this world even? Is there a world map? Episode 1 implied that Arandas was just a long, mountainous, C-shaped peninsula connected to the mainland, and that it was one of two major powers. But it doesn't seem to be big enough or powerful enough to actually pose a threat to the other side. Are there even navies or air forces in this world? Because it seems like the whole war revolves around movements of ground troops.
Will Silfy get any decent development?
