The duality of the male and female sex has always been a big visual motif of FSS. It extends to everything, not just Sopp but the mecha and art style as well. The entire series is like an LGBT's wet dream.

For the Greeks, IIRC, it was more about what position you took. If you were the "active" participant, i.e. the penetrator, you could plow a woman's vagina or a man's asshole and be no less manly for it. It was the passive/submissive partner, i.e the penetrated, who was considered to be contemptible. It was acceptable for a young, pubescent or pre-pubescent boy to take that position, but an adult man doing so would be ill-regarded at best, dishonored at worst.

This confusing bit was explained to me in one of the Gunpla/Plamo generals. It turns out the actual standard scale for FSS kits is 1/72, and they just use 1/100 because some idiot didn't know their math back then and they can't be bothered to correcting it for the sake of advertising, I guess. Funnily enough, the 1/144 scale FSS kits are genuine 1/100's. So Batsh and the new A-Toll from Volks will match MGs in height properly.

The movie just covers the first volume and takes itself more seriously than that part of the manga. It's gorgeous looking, but a feels a lot different than the manga despite the plot being almost the same.

The character designs are also quite different and more detailed than the manga, for better or worse.

F91-tier and other late UC MS have a chance against an MH, but pitting something that's not exactly outstanding even for its time period against a time-travelling MH built by god is not exactly the smartest thing to do.

What would be an amazing battle though would be the Machine Messiahs vs the Turns (with their original forms and pilots). I'm sure a couple solar systems worth of civilizations would be wiped out in the process.

When you look at a Gothicmade, the best you could think is "adult toy for weirdos" (which is most of mecha) and the worst you could think is "modern art".

But it will never look like a " war machine" to anyone. Which is retarded, because that's what it's supposed to be in the fiction.

Hence gothicmades are dumb.

That would be fucking awesome.

My concern is that the fight would be very quick: the MMs are likely far faster than the rollout turn- series, but lack the sheer destructive power that the turn series posess. Besides the Moonlight Butterfly, I think it's fairly safe to assume the Turns had some other ludicrously destructive weapons like the G-Self's photon torpedoes or VSBRs powered by a black hole. Also, the Turn A is designed to be an anti-fleet weapon like the Dendrobium instead of a general-purpose MS.

While it could go either way and would be totally rad, I think it would be over in about five seconds.

They do completely eradicate them from reality, though. I admit that they're not as destructive as the Moonlight Butterfly, but I think their manner of destruction is relatively unprecedented in the universe.

FSS is so damn confusing on where it stands with racial and gender topics. On one hand, it has the most racially diverse cast I've ever seen in any anime or manga, and the Asian characters actually look Asian, even the ones with Japanese names. You have super androgynous characters left and right, and some who claim to be either genderless or hermaphrodites. The ratio between male and female characters is roughly equal, even if you don't count the Fatima, and most of those female characters mentioned seem to be in positions of high power (as queens, headdliners, meights, etc)

On the other hand, you have the super submissive Fatimas, which are literally the personification of everything Nips look for in girls, and Joker society itself revolves around codes of chivalry and honor, which are obviously very outdated as far as how people are treated.
>>
>>14168652
I think you're missing the big point of FSS.

The society is one that has taken two steps forward, but three steps back. Racism and sexism no longer exist, but discrimination still does for Headdliners and Fatimas. Wars are fought not because of ideologies, but because of land and resources. And despite their technology being powerful enough to wipe out several civilizations several times over the course of a millennia, they choose to dick around and make giant robots with it to seize land and gain social status as opposed to creating some WMD like we do today. And the Fatimas themselves are superior to humans in almost every aspect, but have to have mental restrictions placed on them so they don't revolt.

The entire society is one of contradictions. Which is why Amaterasu is able to so easily take over it later on. He crosses the line and uses WMDs and starts an ideological war with the intent of pure destruction rather than seizing land or resources. When you look at it as a whole, FSS is a very nihilistic work.

I did address it. Racism and sexism don't exist in the FSS universe, so your skin color and gender don't mean anything. All that matters is whether you're a human or headdliner or Fatima.

As far as why characters are portrayed as being so ethnically diverse? It should be pretty obvious. FSS as a whole borrows a lot of its design, setting, and story from older existing civilizations and countries and isn't exactly discreet about it. Fillmore is medieval Europe. Colus is Japan. AKD is Greece/Rome. Hathuha is Arabic. So on and so on.

As for the fatimas themselves; I see them as mostly Nagano's fetish rather than any kind of feminist statement or whatever. The general rule for anyone in Japan working on an anime or manga is that they draw whatever they enjoy the most. For example, a lot of people think Miyazaki is some kind of hardcore feminist, when in reality he says the only reason he has so many female characters in his movie is because he likes drawing them more.

In Nagano's case, he likes drawing skinny girls. Not a huge surprise considering he was trained as a fashion designer.

tldr; there's nothing deep about it. Keep the Tumblr away.

I love how everyone in the manga just flat out refers to the Bang Doll as the Vatican's robot, and the FSS version of the Vatican is the same as ours, with popes and crosses and all.

Why did Nagano make them submissive you mean? Because he's said himself many times that the Fatimas are the personification of the traits he finds most beautiful. In the manga, they're described as being doll-like and gorgeous and are said to be the epitome of beautiful women. It's his taste in women speaking, nothing more.

As for their role in the story, the Fatima is the same as an MH. They are supposed to be beautiful, but controlled. What qualifies as being "beautiful" is based on what Nagano wants to draw.

Guy who first complained about the GTMs. I was only speaking from an aesthetic standpoint, MHs aren't trying to be the realest of real robots either. I just think that the GTMs are just Ngano putting all his mecha design fetishes in them at once and they just look like an awkward mess. It's pretty telling that despite being more detailed than most MHs, all the GTM desgins look much similar to each other than almost any MH.

No, they don't. The suits have chunks taken out of them without explosions, so they're definitely a unique thing in UC, but none of the suits themselves were erased from reality though. Even if they were only at 1% and you scaled that up to by a factor of 100 it still wouldn't be ludicrously destructive since a nuke or something would probably still do more.

What they were was (a) numerous, (b) small and (c) of a new technology. Not ludicrously destructive, since something like the omni-directional laser is probably as destructive in many ways, and honestly is far more impressive to me.

>>14176094
Sopp shows up quite often, it's just that he doesn't physically do anything. Because he's an overseer, not a combatant. There is nothing for him to learn from or develop, because he is already god (yes I know the timeline has him doing more shit, but considering said timeline has been retconned like 3 times already, I don't take it very seriously anymore).

FSS is just that- a collection of stories of different people from a galaxy with five stars.

like once every 8 volumes maybe, and thats being generous. Don't get me wrong sopp isn't the only good character in FSS. Dougulas Kaien is really fun along with Christine V but there is many parts where its just boring or I just forget who they are and stuff.

I'll probably have to reread the manga but read in chronological order and not how its organized in the manga.

they must have been really generic, cause I don't remember them and i recently re-read FSS

It's because they are not from the joker universe. The dragons came all the way from their dimension to fight them, remember?

Nagano's raw design may seem weird but turns out really beautiful when redrawn by someone else

Why

why? nagano's designs are pretty good overall, now his really really late 80's character designs were... rough.

Yeah, 90's Nagano was even worse, but most character designs in the 90s were total rubbish anyway.

His newer designs look much better, and unlike a lot of other artists he's somehow managed to avoid the sameface syndrome.

His design style is just generic fashion designer style. I fail to see how that's weird.

>There is no gay shit in the story, actually.

Outside of the part where Nagano is happy to remind you how both sexes would want to fuck Amaterasu/Sopp, anyway.

I got characters mixed up when reading FFS for the first time, but that could be because of the sheer number of them and their desgins change slighty with neach apperance.
