TEKKADAN SETTER
It always amazed me how closely this show paralleled my sex life. The theme song always started playing in my head when I was balls-deep in some lady.
>>14169998
A strong start that went nowhere and quickly became an increasingly boring disappointment made entirely of wasted potential?
What is this from???

I don't understand why Toei wants to bury Tekkaman Blade when it's the more popular of the two Tekkaman IPs.
>>14170307
That's Tatsunoko, not Toei. You are right though, but then again they do generally ignore most things that weren't made in the 80s or 70s.
>>14170684
>>14170307
Tekkaman II was shit tho
Teknoman was better.
>>14170715
No.
I'd like to point out that some schmuck managed to sneak both Blade and Dagger in a Red Alert 2 mod a long time ago.

Are you talking about Orphans or Blade? Because I genuinely can't tell.
>>14172141
Can't be Blade, since that would be implying Blade started strongly, which is way the fuck off.
>>14170684
Yeah, they want to push 70s Tekkaman but it doesn't make any traction at all. Meanwhile Blade gets two SRW games.
Can't take a hint, huh?
>>14172246
Quite clearly. They got desperate enough that they're featuring it in that upcoming CGI show of theirs.
At least they're giving the first Time Bokan the time of day with a remake (since Yatterman met that quota already), so this anniversary won't be completely wasted.
>>14172268
It's kind of weird that Casshern Sins didn't somehow make a hit unlike Blade, when it comes to Tatsunoko remakes, huh?
Crowds is either way.
>>14172246
I kinda do want to know what 70s Tekkaman was like, even if the design isn't as cool as Blade. The only subs we have are crabsticks, right?
Either way, Tekkaman strikes me as the kind of series that would do great with modern animation. Blade's 25th anniversary is next year. Here's hoping.
>>14169989
I finished this series only a few weeks ago. After looking past the QUALITY as fuck visuals, I found it to be a surprisingly compelling series. There were a lot of strong emotional moments, and the rivalry between Takaya and Shinya was extremely engaging. Twin Blood was fucking sick, too; I wish the entire series could have been animated like that, though unfeasible it may be.
D-boy had a hard life ;_;
>>14172736
Hey there edgelord, how's that garbage taste treating you?

I only watched episode 1, but is the drop in quality that noticeable? I thought the episode looked quite good.
>>14170751

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xinvbAwyYFI
That shouting match with Takehito and Wakamoto is probably the best voice acting I've heard from both of them. When Omega started getting pissed off, I actually jumped in my chair.
>>14172736
>>14172782
It's kind of hilarious and yet soul-crushing how much this show puts him through.
It's kind of funny in that "what else can we do this this guy? How much can we make him SUFFER!", and the writers manage to figure it out anyway. Anything something important is happening, it's usually something bad happening to D-Boy. Everything gets worse before they get better, and they make sure everything manages to get even worse.
You remember that cool Blastor Tekkaman scene? Yeah, this is what happens when it DOESN'T kill you! That's what you get for pushing it, another form of slowly dying, enjoy!
As for it soul-crushing, when I think about everything he had to do, well, I couldn't do it. I wouldn't be able to.
What happened to him in the ending is probably the one mercy he had been granted the entire series.

No it was produced by Tatsunoko Productions.
As for the reason, I guess they consider it either too dark or too derivative of KR.

>It's kind of weird that Casshern Sins didn't somehow make a hit unlike Blade.
Blade actually had an serial storyline that was well done. Sins despite the gorgeous Umakoshi direction was just too episodic and barely had any story (even for a Kobayashi show) and imo was really not well done at all.
Watching this atm. Chapter 30.
I deeply regret not watching this years before. Tekkaman Blade is the type of stuff that catters to me 99%.
The only thing I could bitch about atm is the inconsistent animation, but you can't have everything.
>>14172900

It's a crime that people don't appreciate episodic stories anymore. Serialization was the worst thing to happen to muh sci-fi. Thanks, Blake's 7.

You could shave the first 20 episodes of Blade off and you wouldn't lose all that much. Masquerade and the whole finale was hype as fuck though.

Don't you have a zootopia thread on /b/ to shit up or something? Fuck off men are talking.
I wonder why FSS and Tekkaman Blade are recurring design influences in mecha. Can anyone explain why?

No.
>>14173925
Well I would guess it's because FSS is the closest mecha has to offer as art.
>>14172912
I thought Blade II had cool concepts but the story execution kinda let it down.
-co-opting the tek set system from the radam
-alien tekkamen
-high population of half finished tekkamen mixed with humans
-Tekkaman Aki
but yeah, there's a lot of flaws with II. Among them, D-boy's power-level being all over the place, and they didn't really flesh out Natasha's character.
I really would like a modern Tekkaman Blade OVA thoughcomplete with tits. I can't help but feel they need to fill in a few holes between the original and II
I'd definitely like to explore Aki's development into a Tekkaman
-why does she need Pegas for her tek-set? Everybody just uses their crystal now, even D-boy
-how did she even become a tekkaman? Did she just offer herself up to one of the radam trees?
Also they kinda need to explain how D-boy got from the end of the original to the beginning of II
plus What became of Freeman and Rebin?
>>14170751
you know what bothers me the most?
The fucking credits with no mention to the people who actually did the fucking show.
Who gives a shit about the faggots who butchered the original version and made the crap OST.
>>14176707
There's a short episode, "Missing Link" that *kinda* explains some of that.

>>14173041
Blade is one of those rare shows where the animation actually gets consistently better as it goes on, which is the opposite of most shows made where they blow the budget on early episodes to keep you watching
>>14176707
I started watching Blade II today, I'm on chapter 2 I think (Virgin Flush?) and after watching 'Missing Link' I don't understand what the hell is going on, and after reading your post, doesn't look like I will.
>>14177676
You got a link to it?
>>14173231
That episode fucked me up
>>14176758
Wot
They just killed of Noal like that?
>>14177676
The Radam invasion wasn't over. A second wave showed up to attack Earth, but Blade was still retarded, so they made their own artificial system which let Aki turn into Tekkaman Aki.
Blade got better and beat the shit out of Radam in the end anyway because you can't leave this sort of thing to a stupid woman, then became a recluse.
That's pretty much it.
>>14179480
Missing Link was supposed to be a trailer of sorts that would have been made into an OVA or something to actually bridge the original and II, but that obviously never happened. So as to whether it's "canon" or not is debatable.
>>14179512
Blade II is a sequel to it. It's canon.
>>14179512
>>14176865
It was supposed to be a movie, FYI
>>14179480
I don't know what's worse, that, or that scene where Aki is raping D-Boy.
I honestly felt embarrassed watching it.
>>14179458
https://kissanime.to/Anime/Tekkaman-Blade-2-Sub
>>14179480
>>14179512
I also believe 'Missing Link' more than a, well, link between Blade and Blade II, was likely a bunch of ideas that eventually were -mostly- scrapped. Only the Aki stuff looks cannon in Blade II (and some things like why she wanted to kill Blade are never touched).
Also Noal has a -miserable- scene in Blade II. Whether he is dead or not is never answered nor intended to be at any point, which might be weird for someone who never watched Blade II but then you realize that aside from 3 characters (D, Aki, Honda), none of the other main characters appear, and are not even referenced at all.
I guess they originally tried to go in one direction but usual time constraints eventually made the Tatsunoko guys drop some of the stuff they wanted to add.
Anyway I enjoyed Blade II but is a clusterfuck. Doesn't answer shit, and left the the viewer with more questions. Some stuff is borderline surreal like D's "magical" recovery.
Also the new characters are OK but they go nowhere. Yumi is annoying and DEAD END is, well, with that name you can figure it out. At least at the end he gets his shit together.
I'd like a new Tekkaman Blade, whether a remake or a sequel of sorts would be cool.
>>14179898
For me it looked like she wanted the D but the guy was still in vegetal mode and that frustrated her.
>>14179945
>For me it looked like she wanted the D but the guy was still in vegetal mode and that frustrated her.
Oh, I understand what's going on. It just betrays everything that her character is about. That she's there to suffer with D-Boy, but in a different kind of way, in a strange way that sets them apart, but also brings them together.
I can't see Aki being so sexually frustrated that she'd drag D-Boy in bed and fuck him when she knows he literally doesn't fucking have it in him, because he's fucking brain damaged from saving the world because being an incomplete Tekkaman is a raw deal.
Giving him a handjob? Sure, whatever. Seeing/fucking another guy on the side? Sure, it's edgy, but it makes sense.
Mounting on top of D-Boy and whining about he's no hero because he won't even hold her? Fucking embarrassing.
>>14170693
>Tekkaman II was shit tho
No
>>14179962
Yeah I agree.
Where are you getting your images from? I tried searching for Blade stuff but there is barely any worthwhile fanart, and I couldn't find official stuff like artworks.
>>14179983
Tekkaman Blade is one of the very few anime I had to watch with english audio. The japanese audio, in my opinion, is superior in terms of quality, but calling the MC d-boy was gay as fuck. I just couldn't watch it.
>>14179945
>I also believe 'Missing Link' more than a, well, link between Blade and Blade II, was likely a bunch of ideas that eventually were -mostly- scrapped. Only the Aki stuff looks cannon in Blade II (and some things like why she wanted to kill Blade are never touched).
The thing literally says è¿‘æ—¥ä¸Šæ˜ = to show in theatres soon, genius.
>>14179945
>DEAD END
>>14179945
If it's any consolation, Super Robot Wars W makes better use of II's concepts and ideas. Even had Aki keep her earlier look.
>>14172983
>>14179962
It also doesn't help that post-80s Tatsunoko can't seem to do dark stuff all that well.
>>14179983
This is an official image I saved a long-long-long time ago, look at the filename.
Everything else is the scan of an official piece of material, like this laserdisc cover
>>14180025
>calling the MC DANGEROUS was gay as fuck
Anon, I want you to think very hard about what you just said.
>>14180025
This is an +18 site.
>>14180025
The only interesting thing about Teknoman was the fact that Bulk of Bulk and Skull PR fame was Evil/Saber.
>>14179962
>Seeing/fucking another guy on the side? Sure, it's edgy, but it makes sense
I'd prefer my hero not be made into a cuck, thank you very much
>>14180895
I'd rather that then her raping him.
I think if you gave D-Boy the choice of being cucked or having to fight all of his family members while slowly dying AND losing his mental capabilities, then I think he'd take the former.
If we're going to have Aki do something deplorable, I'd rather she do something...normal? I mean, for fuck's sake, she probably had to take off all of his clothes for him just to d that.
>>14181129
What you want is still vastly worse than what she did
>>14181136
No, it really isn't. For her to fuck him, she basically had to prop him up there, herself. He's mentally disabled, and we all know it. She knows what she signed up for. We all know that in that state that he's in, he's not going to be able to love her as a woman. She can't be that sexually frustrated to want to have to do all of THAT D-Boy
I'd much rather see a character be unfaithful and go stepping out on the side than to see the main character of an action/drama series get raped while he's recovering from fucking brain damage. Shit, you could argue that she's not in love with him, but is willing to take care of him. It's not fair to D-Boy, but fuck it, that's the least of his problems.
Is this an r9k thing? Where getting cucked is the worst thing that could ever happen to you?
Would you take D-Boy's place if it meant Aki would "take care of you"?
>>14181152
>Is this an r9k thing
No, it's a matter of not being stupid. It's also weird that you find her raping him to shit over her character, yet cheating on him is okay because of muh realism/other bullshit, even though that would shit on her as bad.
>>14181163
I don't know what fucking insane universe you live in, but I suggest you get the fuck on somewhere.
It would make much more sense for Aki to not feel as strongly as she does for D-Boy and seeing someone else to fulfill her needs for emotional support/love, and taking care of him as more of a job
THAN
To strip off his clothes, place him in bed, mount him, and to moan loudly about how he isn't a hero, and he won't even hold her, or love her. When everyone apart of the Space Knights already fucking knows that the man is a step above being a vegetable because of his run in with the Tek-System and the effect it's had on his body.
She knows that he can't do it, not because he doesn't want to, but because he's physically (remember the wheel-chair?) and not mentally capable of doing so. Even with how frustrated she is at the situation, she fucking knows that he's like that because of the terrible circumstances that happened to him.
And you want to tell me that makes more sense than just slowly falling out of love with him and finding someone else?
FUCK YOU.
Yeah, raping the comatose man makes a lot more sense to her character than finding someone else. Did you even think about what you wrote?
Did you even watch the scene? The series?
Did you get cucked in real life? You must have. You must have to be projecting this goddamn hard.
>>14169989
As a Tekkaman Blade fan, I'm kind of unnerved its being satired by Gundam Tekketsu, given how awful the latter was.
>>14182245
Be afraid anon
>>14182245
>Gundam Tekketsu
I don't follow Gundam, what's with that?
btw, a character most likely inspired by Tekkaman Blade designs, Justice from Guilty Gear.
>>14182358
She even has her own VOLTEKAAA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw0FIXCdX70
>>14182358
There's a shitload of anime references in Guilty Gear, considering she's got a VOLTEKA I think it's safe to say Tekkaman Blade was an influence.
>>14182358
You know all the Iron-Blooded Orphans threads we've had/shitposting about IBO that gets around? Well its site address is G-Tekketsu the same way GBF was Gundam BF. So some people still call it that instead of the english title Iron-Blooded Orphans.
>>14182407
And the Japanese title is Tekketsu no Orphans but keep being retarded.
>>14182358
Japanese name of the recently aired Iron Blooded Orphans.
Blade antics with his lance remember me of this guy, every fucking time. Both even have Pegas/its floating base for maximum aerial swag.
Why did Tekkaman Lance go out like such a bitch unlike Tekkaman Axe?
>>14182751
Because he was a little bitch and killed srg. O'Toole.
>>14182751
Such is the fate of one unimportant to the plot in the face of the main hero's first time using his plot-relevant upgrade
>>14182751
Because all of the screentime he would have gotten was eaten up by both Axe and Dagger.
>>14182751
Because he wore a red shirtokay so it was a jacket
Started watching this, only 8 episodes in at the moment
D-Boy mellows out over time, right?
>>14182968
Interestingly, he actually doesn't.
He does start treating the rest of the Space Knights as if they're important friends to him, but he's just as angry and bitter at the end as he is at the beginning, no doubt because they fucking pile the tragedies onto him as the show goes on. It's fucking relentless.
>>14182968
You know the huge irony of his pretending to be an amnesic? It'll bite him in the ass, rather poetically in fact by the end of the story.
>>14183185
You know I never realized that, and I got some of the classic metaphors that Japs like to add in Blade, but never that one.
I feel stupid.
>>14183068
It really is. I started tearing up at that episode near the end where hegoes back to his family home and unearths that recording of him and his brother saying they'll always be friends.God damn ;_;
>>14182751
The Tekkamen that aren't directly related to D-Boy don't get that much screentime or care.
Dagger doesn't even have a Vol-Tekka.
That being said, I think his weapon is really cool
>>14183068
>that episode when O'Toole's lover dies
>I'LL NEVER FORGET MY HATRED
I think he actually got worse as he began to lose his memories.
>>14184060
I believe that's because Dagger was brought in at the start of the show and the concept of having enemy Tekkaman use Voltekka wasn't thought of yet.
>>14184083
The only thing he had by the end was his hatred for the Radam. That was it, he lost and forgot everything else ;_;
>>14184060
Tekkaman Sword wasn't quite directly related to him, but she still got a fair amount of screentime. Then again she wasthe only one that wasn't killed by Blade, which shows how much of a useless bitch she was.
>>14176758
Now that is some cringe shit right there with Aki having sex with a comatose D-Boy
>>14183261
>and I got some of the classic metaphors that Japs like to add in Blade, but never that one
What classic metaphors?
>>14181288
Anon, he will just keep making half assed rebuttals because he sees Aki being unfaithful to D-Boy as the single worst thing that could ever happen to him and not the fact that he had to kill his family and become as responsive as a rock
>>14184229
Especially Pegas
>>14182358
Wanna know someone else who references Tekkaman?

>>14181288
Damn son, you're really getting upset over something so simple and unimportant.
>>14185253
He never said nor implied anything like that.
>>14185258
Pegas was the best character, he should have gotten more lines. My favorite moments in the show were whenever he was singing
>>14185267
Why are you now trying to pretend you're another person? No one else would take notice or care about either of the posts you quoted, only the jackass from /r9k/ would
>>14183068
Nah, by the end he was a literal rage drone
>>14185266
Is that a common stock sound effect or did they specifically proceed the volt-tackle with the Sol-Tekkman fermion weapon sound?
>>14185271
Because I am.
>>14185200
She took out a named character who was around for a fair few episodes, that's gotta count for something right?
>>14185929
Not when that guy had tripped about fifteen death flags and was basically doing a suicide attack on her anyway. He was more responsible for his own death than she was.
>>14185934
Anyone else imagine the tekkamen in a sitcom like The Office? Having chit chats around the watercooler about how shitty their fellow employees are
>>14185571
The guy who does the sound effects for pokemon also worked on Tekkaman so he used the exact same
>>14182546
they are all inspired by Sun Wukong\Son Goku
>>14185200
She was, actually.
She got engaged to Kengo
I guess it's only "technically", but I'd like to think it would have happened if they didn't get transformed by invading space bugs
>>14186116
I knew that and considered that "indirectly related"
I thought it was interesting how their relationship sort of persisted despite the Radam mind control, as did Shinya's jealousy towards Takaya. You'd expect the consciousness of the little Radam bug to replace the original consciousness, but that's clearly not what happens, so I'm still wondering how the mind control actually works.
>>14186138
I take it as passive mind-control. They still have their personalities mostly intact, their likes and dislikes, but they're always driven towards doing the Radam's will, unless they have a really intense emotion, then that will drive them instead.
When you think about it, it's this sort of "flaw" is why the Radam lost out in the end. Had everyone just waited like Omega wanted, Blade probably would have just died trying to get to the moon.
Shinya got out because Feng-Li let him out to go fight Blade and it was with his crystal that Blade got to the Moon, and Feng-Li went to go fight the Blue Earth.
Even if she didn't stay put, they'd have +Tekkaman to deal with and a time limit.
>>14185266
isn't the volt tackle from pulseman as well, since it was made by gamefreak?
>>14187018
Presumably the Radam would use more direct mind control if they were able, so the bugs must be the best they can do.
Actually, what's the minimum the Radam needed to do to win? Blade didn't start getting really fucked up until he started using the Blaster system, so they had to send a few Tekkamen down to provoke him into doing that. They at a minimum had to send Dagger or he could have flown to the Moon on his own once he realized where they were.
>>14187075
>Blade didn't start getting really fucked up until he started using the Blaster system
It's because Blade was getting really fucked up that he needed to make the Blaster upgrade to begin with. His body couldn't take the normal transformation anymore.
The minimum they needed to do was kill Miyuki. D-Boy would have never known what to do or how to do it without her.
A weird thought occurred to me.
If Blade II happened 10 years after the original and presumably Yumi, Natasha, etc... were likely under the age of 10 when they got sucked up by the radam trees, did they always have full size tekkaman bodies or were there little SD style tekkamen running around before they got older?
>>14188195
Weren't Blade II's teksetters 'artificial' (human developed) or something like that?
>>14188279
I thought they got (incomplete?) bodies, without the combat components, which had to be added through human means or that radam reactor in Prague.
Also seems kind of interesting that portrayed the Reactor Voltekker as something of a software upgrade considering due to a glitch they ended up installing it in the wrong person, but that begs the question as to why didn't they install it in the other two later on?
>>14187075
Honestly? They probably could have just holed up in space and just waited for Tekkaman Blade to die after his crystal was broken. It was beacause of that, he couldn't make it to the moon, and it's not like the rest of humanity was up to the case, and unless they came REALLY prepared, even if the Blue Earth managed to get him there, he'd be up against a team of Tekkaman, literally marching to his death
>>14169989
so how the fuck does being biologically altered allow you to summon a suit of power armor
that's probably the one thing that has always bugged me about tekkaman

To be honest, it's amazing that Blade even exists given the 70s show's quality.
The plot and characters besides Andro and occasionally Pegas are subpar and to top it all off the show is cut short and therefore ends on a cliffhanger.
The only positive aspects I can think of were the funky 70s designs of everything and that the battles could get pretty intense sometimes.
I'd even go so far and say that this is one of the shows you should slap people in their faces whenever they go "muh glorious oldskool anime is better than the crap they show these days".

And it's a wonder why Tatsunoko is even peddling 70s Tekkaman

>I thought it was interesting how their relationship sort of persisted despite the Radam mind control
That wasn't how the Radam control worked. Even the alien Radam Tekkaman in Tekkaman II were not fully mindless drones. But most of the controlled tekkaman retained qualities of their original such as Axe's relation with Shinya/Takaya.

And outer bounds New Yorkers
I remember this shit while growing up in Poughkeepsie. Holy fuck. It was somewhere around 95-97 wasn't it?
TEKNO MAN. ON UPN 44!

It seemed like the Radam control just instilled them with some instinct to serve Radam's interests, not exactly brainwashing so much as changing their priorities

They are the armor. They're biomechanical.
>>14189878
That's the way it seems, but sometimes, the visor thing in the head gets broken and you can see eyes underneath, implying that it's a person wearing armor instead of a biomechanical person
>>14189982
>>14189982
Pretty sure it's armor with like some weird Pocket Dimension Point Teleportation type of shit going on.
Imagine Iron Man's suit-case suit, but with startrek's teleportation sped up to instantaneous
Guyver was properly Biomechanical. Shit had sinew and shit connected to it
>Still scarred by him having the control gem torn out of his forehead.
>>14189982
It's still biomechanical considering what happens in the very first episode, but you are correct. I just don't worry about it since they never bothered to explain it, and if they didn't think it was that important to be bothered with, why should I?

>It seemed like the Radam control just instilled them with some instinct to serve Radam's interest
This is correct. There are a fair amount of chapters where D says stuff like "x is doing y beceause radam instinct" or something along the lines. I think writers never really tried to give the viewer a full understanding of the thing, and thought it'd be enough with just those vague remarks (which I think is OK in this case).
>>14190029
I agree. There is a lot of stuff in Blade that is left in the air. I think is fine they didn't bother to explain it in-depth and let the viewers get the idea.
That said Blade II's overdid that (either time constraints or incompetence), which as I said in another post left you with even more questions and almost no answers.
>>14190701
When it comes to fictional works, when in doubt, just ignore it or pretend it doesn't exist.
>>14189862
Yes and they cancelled the show in the US like at the half way point just after Rapier's death with the last episode being filler footage from previous episodes.

The Tek-System creates a personalized suit of armor for whoever isn't rejected by the system and as well does that installation of Radam-survival in them as well. The point of having to transform is that they would run out of energy otherwise. The first thing D-Boy says to the Space Knights is for them to give him some food. And if we're going by Tekkaman Blade II, the system adapts to the body used, so that's why it didn't just make them into Radam monsters and just have them absorb energy with feelers or something.
I assume that after a while, or people strong enough would just end up like Tekkaman Omega, where they just stuff a bunch of human parts in a suit of armor
Twin Blood's designs were really different. I prefer Blades usual appearance, but the organic designs seems more fitting, since much of the radam aesthetic is really fleshy
also the second OP kicking in as Takaya decides he's going to put up a fight was pretty damn hype
