2 month passed already since it's introduction, and now the last 70s and 80s mecha thread is heading torward the last page to be archived then pruned. But fear not, here comes the new 70s and 80s mecha thread, ready to launch missiles and rocket punches! Been missing lately? Here's the previous thread >>13690998.
Most of you already know the rules, right? If not, here's what this thread is for: argue, discuss and dump stuff like artworks, fanarts (if they're well made of course), sketches, magazines' scans, artbooks, DVD/VHS/LD/CD/BD's covers, ads, musics, screen-caps and so on, that have a link to a Sci-Fi and Mecha anime/comic/novel/film/OVA.

>Starseeker doing initial prep for Raideen episode 26
Time to get cautiously optimistic.
Dunbine sucks
>>13959410
Yeah, at least the show is getting subs.
>>13959611
It was a big waste of potiential, really a shame.
>>13964711
Finished Patlabor on tv, and I'm really dreading when I'm done all the Patlabor things. Any other shows /m/ would say are similar?
>>13959410
Initial prep here meaning getting a non-shit encode from Luurah since he has DVD ISOs and it was the very last ep from that set.
>>13965738
Dai-Guard
>>13967086
Hmm, that's inconvenient. At least he'll finish a couple of his projects sooner or later.
>>13967288
Nah, it was just for that one ep. 27's the start of the 2nd box set and was able to get the ISOs for that myself.
>>13965738
J-Decker, but with sentient robots.
>>13967449
Oh, good then. That's the spirit!
Why are there no blurays of Captain Harlock?
>>13972593
Not enough demand maybe?
>>13976349
I can hardly wait for this show to get full subs, even if it takes a while for the TMUSubs folks to aid Luurah.
>>13976414
Agreed, I'd love to see it fully subbed too.
>>13976349
>>13959611
The ova does
SDF Macross is still great.
>>13988105
No, all of it does.
>>13991224
The show is pretty good though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcGSAiAFW14
>>13994149
Did MartyMcflies ever rip the LP for this? It's really hard to find the OST in general.
Subs for Layzner BD when?
>>13994852
Ask Starseeker after her yearly April Fools release.
>>13995312
Pretty much this.
>>13994345
I'd rip it if I had the money to pay for it. There's two copies of the OST on Yahoo Auctions JP right now, the cheapest being 4000 yen, but as of right now I don't have enough money to pay for it
I'll buy it some day, though. Some day...
>>13994944
That Zeta Gundam's representation is just gorgeous.
Too bad, they seemed to be having a good lunch before she crashed there.

That's about right.
>>14011926

Why would you post the show with inferior designs?
>>14011926
Not a big fan of the new Toriyama designs.
>>14010916
It's interesting to see that some of the early designs still kinda look like Dougram designs.
>>14011926

>>14015704
You sure you didn't mean to make a thread instead? It would apply just as well in that case, too.
When I'm finished with 0079, I'm going to watch either Dancouga or Daitarn-3. Which one has better fight scenes?
Any list of fully subbed 70's shows?
subbed Dougram, entire series
https://youtu.be/cuaCdGUamco
>>13958313
>>14017960
If we're talking anime without HKs:
Mazinger Z
Grendizer (somewhat)
Combattler V
Voltes V
Zambot 3
Daitarn 3
Gundam 0079
Gatchaman
Casshan
Plus Future Boy Conan is a borderline case.
What do you think about Genesis Climber MOSPEADA ? The mech designs seem pretty cool and it's only 25-episodes long, but is it worth the watch ?
>>14018504
It's a pretty good show, definitely worth the watch.
>>14018504
It's one of my personal favorites. I like the designs, OST, and the story is pretty interesting, touching on the concept of evolution.
>>14019787
Agreed.
Just finished watching Dragon's Heaven. I wish the animated portion was longer but overall it was goodIkuru is pretty cute, too
>>14018072
Is Daikengo fully subbed? Anidb says it is but I can't find the whole thing.
>>14022664
Sadly no, it isn't subbed entirely yet.
>>14022664
That's one of the ones Luurah's working on. It's still active, but according to his progress report one of the TL Checkers recently got married and that held things back a bit.
>>14022664
>>14023105
Adding to that, one of TMU Subs' other members is dedicated to doing the rest of Cat's Eye (in theory, anyway).
>>14019787
>>14020352
Thanks for your opinion guys, will start it tomorrow !
Does anyone have a download link for all of Mobile Suit 0079? I'd love to start watching Gundam and the first series seems like a good place to start.
>>14025064
Bakabt or Nyaa.se
[EG] is usually the best encodes.
If you'd like to stream it you can do that on sites like Kissanime but it's generally better to torrent.
I'm four episodes into Voltes V and I'm already having a grand old time. Watching the Voltes team dealing with their own problems as well as smashing the shit out of Beast Fighters has been pretty good. I was originally going to start Daitarn 3 first but Voltes came first, so here I am.
God damn why didn't I start watching the even older anime first? Where has this been all my life?
>>14026310
>God damn why didn't I start watching the even older anime first?
Probably because most tend not to get subs very quickly or at all (see most things from the 60s or the Time Bokan franchise). On the bright side, this means that it's harder to wind up watching something bad for now.Also, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the twists.
What do you guys think of Skaro Hunting Society other than being slower than even Live-Evil?
>>14027615
They seem more efficient than Hikari-Senshi, if only because picking piss-poor translators doesn't happen as often. On the other hand, Nanto is such a stickler that he puts hardsubs on every release, even when he knows that's inconvenient.
>>14027615
Good stuff apart from doing just random episodes of many shows. Collaborating with HnK helps thankfully. 60s anime needs more attention.
>>14027729
>HnK
*HnG, you might have guessed.

>>14024090
Is Cat's Eye or City Hunter considered to be the better series?
>>14027931
City Hunter, since Cat's Eye eventually spins its wheels to the point that the anime allegedly doesn't get to the manga's ending before getting cancelled. CH is always episodic like say, Lupin the Third, so no need to worry about a goal, love subplots or other expectations.
No idea how the Cat's Ai reboot manga is, though.
>>14027440
No, I mean, as in why didn't I start my journey to /m/anhood overall with the older anime in general?
>>14030116
Oh, well most people have moments like that. You could say it's retroactive nostalgia.
Could anybody do me a kind favor and translate this for me?
I'm currently in the process of editing the LP OST to Tomonori Kogawa's "Greed" OVA from 1985. This pic is a scan I took of the last page from the inner booklet that's included with the album.
I think this is the staff that worked on the music but I'm not too sure.
What are some good 70s mecha anime with hot blooded action and sideburns? Looking for stuff like getter robo and mazinger z.

>>14036155
Ergh, missclicked picture.
Have any Go Nagai manga been translated recently?
>>14036827
>>14036831
Yeah, Leda's OST is pretty damn good :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lnHSHYfQrs
I own the LD of this OVA, and I really like rewatching it from time to time.
>>14039691
If you want to be technical, Black Box did all of Gosaku Ota's Grendizer in France. Otherwise, no.

Holy shit, Hino, don't screw this up.
Which version of Voltes V's encode is the best? I've gotten two so far, neither of as high quality as on kissanime for some reason.
>>14043263
Doesn't kissanime tell you the filename below the player.
>>14030116
On the other hand, it probably would have been more difficult for you to have been initially interested if someone had shown you say, Toeizinger without initial context.
So my computer stopped working and am currently using my mom's computer. Does anyone know any sites where I can stream old 70's series? Specifically looking for Genshi Shounen Ryuu

>>14049245
Bonus with English-dubbed I and II as a single movie (1 hr 34 min 17 sec). It also contains some extras, not included in the batch.
>>14049863
I see. Must be kind of weird to see the designs change halfway through though.
>>14049245
>>14049863
It's just Part II International + 12 minutes of Robotech intro + narration + music.
>>14049863
>>14047775
It's kind of weird to see that Eve's design is the only one left unchanged between the first and second act (though it did change in the third one).
Pigs just flew, because a new Dragonar release just came out (plus some explanations from Gunlord)!

Good to hear! The crabsticks were kinda funny sometimes, but it's kinda weird to call ammunition "gun powder" all the time.
>>14044081
Yeah actually, thanks.
It's weird, though, I'm torrenting the files now, it's nearly done (97%), but the files themselves don't seem to display the subtitles even though it lists english as a subtitle track. Am I playing them wrong?
Man I'm dumb.
Does anyone have any Webms of the Mazinger vs Devilman movie? Some sick animation in it.
What do you guys think of the Grendizer pilot film? I thought it was pretty good.
>>14059024
There's an MP3 version I have where the tracks are split but it was recorded when I first started learning how to transfer vinyl to MP3/FLAC and the pre-amp adjustments during those recordings were horrible (you may not notice it but the bass in my first recording was turned up to the max, which I shouldn't have done in the first place)
I can still post it if you want, though.
>>14064293
I liked it. A rare use of use of CinemaScope in anime and a good one. And it looks so pretty.

Dropped. At least Sayaka looked hot.

The sequel was horribly rushed. Which sucks, because I was hoping to get more fanservice.
I still think Angels Maria is the best version of Maria.
>>14078416

At least it had Kikunosuke Abashiri piloting not-Mazinger, if nothing else.

The artist had to cut it short because he had leukemia. At least give him credit for still trying to give it some sort of conclusion with a mini-boss fight, he could have just quit.Also, I just found out that he used to draw porn under a different name.exhentai.org/g/126496/e506e4f1c5/
>>14078693
Did he died?
>>14078772
No. In fact you can check his twitter @akiniina, he's fairly active there. Here's some fanart of some 70s toku ("Diamond Eye"?) that he posted last month.
Apparently he's working again, he often mentions it, but I don't on what. I don't think he has any series of his own going on.
What are some 70's mecha with female villains other than Jeeg?
>>14079575
Off the top of my head, there's the Time Bokan shows (not Yatterman, since the villainess in that gets bossed around), Daitarn 3 (which isn't apparent for a long time) and Daikengo.
>>14079575
Cutie Honey, obviously.
>>14079575
Voltes V has Katharine.
>>14079653
>Daitarn 3 (which isn't apparent for a long time)
Koros gets her debut fairly early, though? I'm pretty sure the episode with the three Meganoids on the Moon and their giant cut-earth-in-half disks was in the 10s, and she was definitely around by then.
Anyway, uh, Daltanius had a girl villain who's name I can't remember because she's fairly unimportant. And both Grendizer and Mazinger Z had a villain who was part female and part male, for all that counts.
>>14079575
There's one in Gakeen if I recall.
>>14080505
>>14080391
>>14080819
I think the anon meant female villains that are the de facto main villains, rather than subordinates/right hands. He should have been clearer about that.
Come to think of it, Combattler V has those too (even after the villains change midway through).
>>14079653
The female villain in daikengo has it's own boss too if I recall.

When does Combattler V start getting good? Few episodes in and the characters have hardly even talked to each other.
>>14083048
I like that blade.
>>13958313
Any chance of the Mazinger sequels (Great & God) ever being fully subbed or finished?
>>14087695
Possibly. Discotek is licensing DP titles left and right, Sasword came back and there's an anon interested in translating the Italian dub, so Great Mazinger's chances are good. As for God Mazinger, it all depends on whether Luurah will adopt it.
Reading Susanoo and kind of surprised thatMido from Violence Jack/Guerrilla Highshowed up
>>14018004
I think Dougram on YT actually cuts off some fifty episodes in, sadly. You can grab it fully and easily off BakaBT or the like, though, or stream it if you're a pleb.
Xabungle on the other hand is entirely on Youtube, oddly, on the channel Mechaplaza. Fun stuff.
>>14087695
God Mazinger is a sequel? News to me.
>>14090064
No, it's a different story from another world, with a giant robot statue fighting dinosaurs and shit.
>>14089053
That's some really good artwork there. Was it used for a Soltic model boxart?
>>14090563
AFAIK no, the 1/144 and 1/100 Soltic H8 models I'm aware of used different art.
I wasn't sure where to post about this. If there's a newfag thread feel free to point me there.
I'm not new to anime in general, but my experience with mecha and /m/ is limited. I've seen the Gundam movies and a few modern mecha series here and there, but I'm not really sure which /m/ anons talk about most or would recommend. Of course I have no problem with older series or I wouldn't be posting in this thread.
>>14093813
>Gundam movies
Watch the actual shows, there's plenty of differences.
>>14093813
Xabungle is great.
>>14095264
This. The movies are nice and all, but you'll miss a lot if you don't watch the show.
>>14084589
It doesn't. Combattler V had some good ideas but only an okay series otherwiseas long as you pretend the second half doesn't exist. Voltes V is an improvement over it in a lot of ways.
>>14097887
The meme is still going strong, I see.
>>14097887
>>14097893
In fairness, Combattler was like Soda's Goggle V: playing it safe while getting his feet wet, in terms of doing robot shows by himself (given that he only did the second half of Raideen beforehand).
I still blame Godmars' writer for Combattler's ending though.
>>14084589
When the drunkard scientist shows up.
>>14098032
Oops, meant to say Nagahama was the director.
>>14097893Neither the two generals or the empress in the second half weren't interesting characters. The empress spent her entire time screaming orders at the two. They gave a little bit of character to the general whose head blew up at the end but pretty much that was pretty much it.The addition of the children and their comic relief was also completely unnecessary.There were some good episodes though, the ones with Ryoumas... brother? rival? I forget, but as a whole the second half didn't do that much for me.Admittedly Voltes V has it's flaws too. The show and the real story of the Go brothers chasing after their father didn't pick up until maybe a dozen episodes in. How it tied it all together in terms of continuity and the twists at the end were great.
I can forgive some of Combattlers flaws, given how common many of them were for shows that aired before and even alongside it. I still think Voltes is an improvement on some of the ideas Combattler had and is the better show.
On a completely unrelated note, Discotek announced their release of Gaiking for June 21st. I'm excited.
>>14100879
>On a completely unrelated note, Discotek announced their release of Gaiking for June 21st. I'm excited.
Me too. Any day where a Skaro/Luurah joint project gets pre-emptively cancelled is a good one.
Back on the Romance Robot side of things, Luurah is only 10 episodes away from finishing Daltanius!
>>14091626
I see. It's understandable, having different vehicles in a model boxart wouldn't make that much sense.
>>14100879
I wonder who thought it was a good idea to have some guy literally going "grrrrr" for the sounds the monsters make.

While we have the mecha names in Macross be Destroid and Variable Fighter, any reason why for MOSPEADA, there seems to be none for both the motorcycles that turn into Powered Armor and the Variable Fighter-esque mecha? Let's see, MOSPEADA means Mobile Operation Soldier Protection Emergency Aviation Dive Armor, and should have been what all motorcycle that turn into Powered Armor are, but that acronym is only for the VR-052, given that there's the VR-038 Bartley and the VR-041 Blowsperior. Likewise with the Variable Fighter-esque mecha. I get it, there's only the Legioss, but in Macross, a VF-1 is a Variable Fighter, so how come no name was given to what a Legioss is?

Besides, that's the Iron Gear.
I wish more Xabungle art was available in proper resolution.

I'm not saying the head is bad, but it's not something I'd expect on a giant robot, it feels more like a battleshit tower, which is cool, but not as cool as the rest of the body.

Starting to see the wasted potential in Combattler V

>planning to translate either of the three longest Time Bokan shows
>plus do a fan dub
I can't tell if this person is a madman or not, but that's some serious dedication if it gets off the ground.
>>14115173
Okay, episode 26 finished so I feel I can share some thoughts on the show now.
Why is Combattler a combining robot, exactly? There's no reason for the robot to have 4 pilots since you hardly ever get to see them doing anything and even when you do it's super vague. It's amazing to go entire episodes without one of the main characters getting a single line of dialogue in. I think Chizuru had exactly one word of dialogue in episode 26.
The enemy mech designs are pretty uncreative. The sound effects for them are hilariously bad (literally a person going "grrr").
I do think the the cyborgs with no lower body teleporting into walls was cool, though.
>>14090064
I really meant "sequels" as in things that came out after it, but you have a point
>>14115302
Liking this new main villain. Her henchmen are kind of lame but they might bring some much needed liveliness to the show.
>>14113608
It at one point has a giant cloth tied as... either a bib or a top-of-head thing (can't remember), that's pretty great.
>>14116166
>Dumb redneck kids show up
Am I going to drop this, /m/?
>>14115302
While I think Voltes V is the better show, I love Combattler V's weapons a lot more.
I'm in love with the Battle Chainsaw and Grandasher.
Should I make an OVA general or just use this thread?
Would Sunrise ever give ever give a shit to release BDs of stuff like Xabungle? I know Ideon had a release not too long ago.
>>14117278
This thread should do, or you could make a thread for your one OVA.
>>14117889
Maybe, maybe not. We can only wait and see, really.
>>14114453
Noriko is cute.
>>14117889
Kinda reminds me of how Bandai decided to release Galvion in Blu-Ray instead of releasing better shows that Kokusai Eigasha made, like Acrobunch or any show from the J9 series
>>14107120
>there seems to be none for the motorcycles that turn into Powered Armor
The Ride Armor System is the official name for the transforming motorcycle armor.
>MOSPEADA should have been what all motorcycle that turn into Powered Armor are
The MOSPEADA is the most mass produced of the three model variations, and because the show's leading character uses it, it makes sense that the show would be named after it.
>how come no name was given to what a Legioss is?
The Armo-Fighter Legioss is initially produced in three model variations: AFC01H, AFC01I, and AFC01Z.
I've watched 32 episodes of Combattler and ever seen the kids have shown up my enjoyment has dropped to like a fraction of what it once was. I'm hesitant to drop it because I've already invested so much time into it. What should I do?
>>14121017
Seriously those two kids have gotten more screentime since they've shown up than anyone. What the fuck?
>>14119466
Galvion was more of an anniversary pity-release combined with the fact that it wasn't released on anything else.
I require the .gif of Captain from Giant Gorg slamming two guards' heads together.
>>14121025
Toei wanted to have the second coming of the Boss Borot crew and ride on their success as much as possible with their own imitations. Both Daltanius and Kotetsu Jeeg have one, though I'm not sure about Toei Getter or any others.
>>14121636
But Boss and friends are actually fun unlike those kids
>>14018072
Don't Getter Robo and G have nice quality subs?
![UFO Robo Grendizer - 03 (DVD 480p) (Super Robots Team) (NakamaSub).mkv_snapshot_14.30_[2015.06.08_20.15.13].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/rrACtj2.jpg "UFO Robo Grendizer - 03 (DVD 480p) (Super Robots Team) (NakamaSub).mkv_snapshot_14.30_[2015.06.08_20.15.13].jpg")
>>14121017
>>14121025
Episodes with the children start to taper off past 40. If you do decide to hang on, there are some pretty good episodes in the 40s.
>>14121636
For Toei Getter, Genki was mostly a sideline character who had a few good episodes like G's episode 14.
Toei Getter's comic relief instead came from the other inventor and his robot who were introduced somewhere around halfway through. He wasn't really a character in G thoughwhich was a good call considering the difference in tone between the two series.
The Daltanious kids weren't awful.
Grendizer had Danbei as the comic relief character. He was pretty alright.
>>14121691
Getter Robo's are scrubs and not finished yet (since Caffin is more sluggish than even Skaro).
>>14121704
>Grendizer had Danbei as the comic relief character. He was pretty alright.
Although that's partly since he completely stops appearing about 3 quarters into the show.Also, johnnyenglishsubs is working on better subs by using the more accurate French ones, just so you know.
>Getter G
How are the crabsticks for those, by the way? Are they alright or SEDUCE AWAY THE GETTER tier?
>>14121691
Parts of Getter Robo and G are subbed properly. The rest are crabsticks.
>>14121722
Caffin's possibly dead: (abookoffaces).com/CaffinSubs/posts/1117428058298088
G's crabsticks are an improvement. Grammar is still spotty but there's no major fuck ups.
>>14121731
A shame, but at least a new successor would just need to do half. Good to hear about the G subs though. Also, a few other Boss Borot and gang clones and such I've forgotten to mention.
Golion had the family of mice that Princess Fala interacted with. Granted, that may most likely have been done to imitate Disney's Cinderella as well.
While live-action, Sun Vulcan had Sukehachi, who was largely redundant since the show already had enough comic relief.
On the non-Toei live-action side of things, there was Super Robot Red Baron's Inspector Kumano, who was awesome whenever the situation called for it.
Kind of surprised this wasn't original to Shin Mazinger.
>>14121985
Baron Ashura was always two people stuck together by Dr. Hell, unless you're talking about something specific.
>>14122923
I'm talking about the backstory in the picture.
>>14122990
Ah. Well, Shin borrows a lot from other Mazinger works (and general Go Nagai works), so finding out that some element of it is actually from an older work isn't that off.
>>14122990
Shin Mazinger uses that from Z Mazinger though, not whatever that shit you posted is.
So with the first episode of Galatic Patrol Lensman subbed, I was curious if there was any other worthwhile mecha shows that were more fantasy oriented, but still had a slight tinge of sci-fi
Only other one that I can think of is Starzinger
>>14123822
I don't think the Starzinger TV series has been subbed yet
>>14124711
Skaro Hunting Society are working on it. Unfortunately, it's Skaro, so that'll probably be done sometime between now and the next 10 years or so.
In the meantime, Shout Factory released a compilation dub done by William Winckler, though that's not the best of options.
Is it just more or did the quality of the Kamen Rider manga drastically go downhill after thefirst protag died?
>>14113657
That one artwork look really great.
>>14113662
Why is that version of Shaian different from the one in the OVA?
How much of the Cyborg 009 manga is translated?

This looks REALLY fun.
>>14129551
Unfortunately, Dr. Slump in general is gimped in the subbing department, particularly since N'Cha Subs died. The newer anime is even less subbed than the old one.
Luckily, there is still one person around, but he needs help pronto.

The manga for Dragon's Heaven had a Neo-Shaian that was not in the animation.
I was going to rewatch UC Gundam now that I've finally started getting more free time and I haven't watched any of them in like 8 years, but I realize I really need to get through my backlog one of these days. Shit is huge and I don't know where to start. Maybe I should focus on the big ones I still haven't seen like Votoms or Ideonif the BDs ever finish getting re-subbed
Also, anyone know if L-Gaim external subs exist? Want to apply them to the BunnyHat release.
>>14130172
Speaking of Votoms, when the fuck is it getting BD treatment?
>>14130172
All the /m/ Subs episode releases are softsubs. The big problem is that it's the Shin-Getter episodes that are hardsubs, so those would need to be typed manually. If you need help, it might be a good idea to ask KaixeRho. >>14124149
Is the original Mazinger Z worth watching all 90+ episodes, or does it really mostly MotW? Been meaning to watch it but not sure if I want to go through a long MotW show right now
>>14131860
Where is it from?
>>14132244
Looks like Star Wars fanart
>>14132244
If it's not >>14132278 then original, it's a piece from an artbook without a caption.
