Anyone want to discuss old mecha? I am watching Gall Force this evening.
The other day I watched Daimajuu Gekitou: Hagane no Oni. Short and fighting happens at the end, but worth the watch.
Not necessarily 90's but anyone have recommendations for Any OVA like MD Geist/Mad Bull 34/Cyber City Oedo?
Preferably with the over the top violence and cheesy dubs
I watched Boku no Marie recently, it was cute, but forgettable really.

I will kill for an episode 3 for this hard sci-fi adventure of astronaut Saishi and featuring loli Rain Mikamura.
RIP Ritsu. A true bishie and a real human being

Whoops, forgot pic.
Is Dangaioh any good?
>>13596387
Fuck that looks cool

Posting the pic usually helps

>Is Dangaioh any good?
It's got some really excellent action, designs, and concepts, but I don't really remember it being all that special story wise or anything.
If you're a fan of cool robots being cool robots, you'll probably have a good time.
>>13596387Too bad there was no sex scenes of those 2 cuties, since everyone except the red tee MC is dead at the end.
>>13596467
>searches
>english name is "mighty space miner"
Dosen't sound interesting . Still will see what it is about.
>>13596563
Story isnt bad just horribly generic and the ending could have been better.
Also the sequel dropped the ball hard.
>>13596363
Gall Force has been on my backlog for a while but when Hiro mentioned one of the characters was his waifu I've been trying to find time to watch.
>>13596387
I blindly downloaded this a week or so ago due to the animation since it looks pretty damn good, hope I'm in for a good hour or so.
>>13596363
I honestly can't decide between that and Bubblegum Crisis as to which I would say is my favorite OVA series.
I've enjoyed Gall Force ever since I first watched Eternal Story on the Sci-Fi Channel's Saturday Anime block, though I took to BGC quickly when I first got into it a couple years back.
>>13596976
Nene a cute
recently started watching Project Eden
it may not be "artsy" but it's A E S T H E T I C as fuck!
I still prefer Kei &Yuri's OVA designs, their eyes were a bit less far apart and their hair was poofier.
>>13596972
well watch it then,and acknowledge Rabby as best gal.
>>13596985
I'm watching VOTOMS
see this
>>13597005
Also this series is fucking great. I was expecting a distanced historical story like LOTGH but instead I actually got an engaging plot from the get go.
Also the VOTOMS kind of look stuppid if you just see like a screenshot somewhere but they look awesome when actually animated in the show.
>>13597013
True. VOTOMS are pretty much the only mechs I find cool-looking because they look industrial as fuck. They actually look like fucking war machines and not robot super heroes.
>>13597023
If the Nazis could look sharp on the battlefield, there's nothing stopping other military robots from dressing up.
>>13597039
They look good though. They just don't look like super heroes.
>>13596510
Pretty gud Visuals.
Wonky storytelling - I can't even say it ends on a cliffhanger, it feels more like they ran out of money because they spent too much drawing Mia and Pai
>>13596510
>Is Dangaioh any good?
Worth watching, but it's nothing absurdly special. Some people like it, other s don't.
probably my fave one off ova
>>13596995
they ruined her in tokyo 2040
>>13598281
They made her Moe~
>>13598413
So they made her what she already was, then?
>>13598439
More moe~ and better looking. Also naked tropical beach end with the lesbian.
>>13596395
That's 1996. Hibiki was cute though.
>>13596363
WHERE ARE THE BLURAYS, JAPAN
Hmm that reminds me,
has Sonoda's Shoki TAN ever been translated?
Something for Nene flooffags.

Not so subtle Hiroyuki
>>13596391
AD Police (Bubblegum Crisis spinoff) is pretty cool. You might also like Guyver.
>>13598744

If only Nene could be a robutt.

She's a good girl.

>>13598922
Catty is great bullying material.
>>13596363
Why does she remind me or Puru?
>>13599083
Something about padding I think.
But the same could be said of every girl ITT, don't you agree?

It would help if it wasn't cut short.

I would like to do it, but... time. We'll see when the isos appear.
In the meantime, any chance anybody has seen or have access to Dragon Century OST? I'm listening to the tracks in the DVD extras and it is nice, would be great to have it whole.
>>13596363
>tfw all those one shot OVAs and cliffhangers
Greatest tragedy in anime history indeed.
>>13598756
Hey, he has taste. I re-watch GF once a year around July 4th. Just a good series of chicks, explosions and hubris.
>>13599083
The same tone of hair color and that sly 80's look.
Why is gunbuster so much better than die buster
>>13599937
Busting a gun is better yelling a buster to die.

I'm not going to see them again am I? I enjoyed this too.
>>13600131
I had it leeched for some time. Somehow I can't find it on nyaa if it was from there, but should be this:

Genocyber > You're favourite OVA
I sincerely believe that it's a masterpiece and that history will prove me right. Koichi Ohata is a genius. Listen to that damn soundtrack:
https://youtu.be/F5BwEGQqnI0?list=PLED01FEB339A64994
It's so eerie and pretty. I like the dub too, some people think that it goes to complete crap towards the end but I like it. It feels surreal and otherworldly.
>>13600990
Urotsukidoji may lack the nihilistic outlook and tragic tone that gives Genocyber its charm, but it's superior in every other regard.
>>13600999
Nice dubtrips, and I think that the tone is what really gives not just an OVA, but pretty much any piece of art that special lasting appeal. If I truly love something I appreciate it more through feeling than thought.
Genocyber's bizarre anti-humanist themes are still almost completely unique in science-fiction and there's something about the execution that complements it perfectly. It seems like such a stupid story on paper but it really does manage to feel tragic every time I watch it. Not many /m/ related things really get me on that level, it's probably just Genocyber, Ideon and Royal Space Force.
Got to post more of that soundtrack now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irPJKnVfHxM&index=5&list=PLED01FEB339A64994
>>13600964
I saw that there was an idea to get the Dragon's Heaven R2J DVD some time ago, did anything happen on that front?
I recall that we searched for it on p2p networks once and it was nowhere to be found, sadly.
>>13601010
don't be sad Keanu
I loved John Wick, please do a sequel

How is a Zaku a hero? A Xamel? A Gaza-C?
Go watch Dougram. No? Heavy Object. No? Metal Skin Panic MADOX. No? Starship Troopers OVA. Still nothing? Lurk more.
Broaden your horizons. Somehow, it seems like you haven't done a lot of looking for anime that caters to your taste. To disagree with your opinion, I'd also say realism is something near on wholly irrelevant to a genre which "realistically" would not exist, period.
>>13601166
Double dubs of truth and floof.

Should I read the novel 1st or jump right into the OVA?
>>13601197
>those teeths will never bite your foreskins
>>13602856
Ha-ha, joke's on you; I was mutilated at birth!
>>13603046
I heard that with Char's voice, for some reason.
>>13602811
Read the book. The OVA's more of a homage than an adaption. It's nice to see what they did with it but it's too different to be a substitute. It feels more like they wanted to create something /m/ themed and decided to paint it Starship Troopers rather than make a true adaption but it's still kind of neat.
Anybody else like Dallos? I thought it was pretty fucking cool.
>>13603705
Why doesn't it occur to anybody that Dallos must have been built by aliens?
