Would /m/ be okay if EVERY single mecha was given the Obari treatment?
>>13597038
>Obari mark Nicht
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>13597038
depends if he still keeps the basic shape and doesn't turn all of them into not dancougas
>>13597038
No. Obari is overrated (inb4 lolbuzzword)
>>13597038
I remember a series of gunpla I saw on the onlines where the maker used multiple scale kits to make the proportions look all weird and perspective-ed.
>>13597038
Why the hell does /m/ suddenly have a huge boner for Obari?
Is this a meme thing? Cause I don't get it.
>>13597038
I am seriously not a fan of that Byarlant
No, because its /m/
On the other hand no, because just like Katoki- everyone would just get sick of the Obari style and call it uninspired and stale. It would be cool to see but if Obari did every mech /m/ would hate it, or grow to.
Orbital Frames will have 3x cockpits. they shoot lasers too
>>13597038
As like an artbook or something? Sure.
As parts of actual series no matter how inappropriate? No.
>>13597288
Part of it's the fact the man is prettymuch the posterchild for the 80s/90s OVA boom that /m/ has had a not so secret boner for for ages now.
To a lot of people, he's basically keeping the dream alive.
It also doesn't hurt that he backed off of main directing. Cause God love him, that was NOT his strong suit.
>>13597559
H-hey... his last directed work was...... SRWOGIN?
That was pretty damn good considering it was:
a) a video game
b) cluster fuck of a video game
The man deserves some props
>>13597591
Adapting something doesn't give you much cred as a director, which makes sense.
>>13597617
it still takes skill imo
see how many bad video game adaptations there are (the majority) and realise his SRW was one of the few that are not shit - heck even the first 2 SRW anime attempts were downright terrible.
>>13597638
>one of the few that are not shit
Depends how you look at it.
To SRW fans, it was a huge step up from Divine Wars. To anyone not familiar with the games, it was another mess of a video game adaptation anime.
>>13597944
considering most of the people who watch video game adaptations are fans of said game, I'd say it works out well
divine wars tried to go the route of appealing to casual fans and it was utter shit
>>13597080
>buzzword
It sort of is, desu senpai.
>>13597638
>>13597617
Do note that he doesn't even have a good track record for adapting video games.
When he did Prism Ark he replaced Koyasu with Hayami because muh sandman, threw the entire plot out of the window, and then turned the main character into Ultraman for no reason.
>>13598005
Even his Bubblegum Crisis episodes are pretty wonky - despite looking pretty awesome.
He is a good animator foremost. The directing is pretty much a tradition at this point because Hirano.
>>13598005
isn't prism ark kinda shitty anyways?
>>13597038
Never in a million years. Only a small handful of robots look good with his "aesthetic" applied to them.
>>13597559
That and the fact that he shows himself to be a robot loving manchild like most of us are, lending a one of us kind of feel to him.
>>13597591
Obari was a great choice for OGIN. As you said, the game it was based on is a huge clusterfuck. It does have a lot of cool robots, though, and Obari emphasized that.
>>13598019
Only according to shitposters who never played it.
>>13597038
>You are now imagining Scopedogs and Zakus in Obari style.
I'm trying to imagine Battetech stuff done in his style, and it's hilarious.
>>13597972
Correctly used in this case, though.
>>13598249
I would prefer to keep my food in my stomach, thank you very much.
>>13598447
>Correctly used in this case, though.
Obari is hardly overrated?
Since most of this thread is saying "NO THATS A BAD IDEA"
and
"HE'S A SHIT DIRECTOR"
oh and the usual "His humans look like shit"
>>13598477
You see people sucking his dick more often than you do criticizing him. One thread is not indicative of how he is usually treated. You seem a bit overly defensive, though.
>>13597038
Why in the fuck would anyone answer no to this question. It's like saying no to would you like every person on earth to receive an ice cream?
Its FREE SHIT PEOPLE. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
>>13598266
I dunno man. Do you want the STEINER SCOUT LANCE to be given the Obari treatment?
Or the AWESOME?!
>>13597038
That's one way to fuck up a Byarlant.
>>13598017
Doberman = Xenomorph given the Obari treatment.
>>13597312
>robots with three dicks
WHAT!?
>>13597038
I assume they wouldn't replace the original designs, so sure!
>>13597038
>Obarylant
I would be OK with this take on the Byarlant if they kept the upper arm the same and the head the same. Of course, the original and the Custom 01 and 02 are considerably better than this could ever hope to be.
>>13597038
OP's pic is not related to Obari at all. Barely even Byalant related
>>13603901
Doberman was not designed by Obari. Animated by him, but that drawing is not by him.
Obari's great strength is as an animator, re-drawer/stylizer, and poster artist. He's not that fabulous a mecha designer. Pic Related.
>>13603916
aint broke
>>13597038
Then it wouldn't look unique anymore, it'd just look like every other mecha.
So my answer is no.
>>13597038
I like it, but then again I think that both Byalants are ugly messes that only hipsters could like, which is probably why /m/ likes them.
How would monoeye'd mechs handle Obari's face shadow? Would half of the eye turn red? What if it's already pink like a Zaku?
>>13603958
i've not seen a .gif this bad in quality in seven years
get with the times faggot
>>13598504
>You see people sucking his dick more often than you do criticizing him.
This isn't true, though. The praise and criticism are usually balanced enough to bring discussion.
>>13597038
>every mecha would be filled with style, courage and heart
>mfw
