Why is such an awesome OVA so poorly regarded? It has everything you could ask for.

>Awesome animation
>Awesome biomech designs
>Tons of SHADING

: 51YKlRs7H0L was okay but : 51YKlRs7H0L Next was better
>>

>>Awesome animation
>>Awesome biomech designs
>>Tons of SHADING
All in one scene near the end
>>
>>14195052
Eh, it's okay, but there are so many others that offer the same things and are 10x better that it's kind of hard to care about.
>>
>>14195052
kinda went too slow and long for so little payoff, plus the whole "everyone dies" thing is a total bummer, Cybernetics Guardian does a lot of what Demons of Steel tried a whole lot more competently and more entertainingly

did have some thoughts about how to use it in SRW though
>>
DUDE SHADING LMAO
>>
>>14195100
Name some
>>
I liked it. But it's a slow burning drama for 3/4 of it. Then it gets some action.

I liked the style and the art. It's for anime fans, not really most people.
>>
>>14195052
I was expecting something along the lines of Zeorymer, but got a (slightly above-average) typical throwaway 70's Kaiju flick. Not really bad I guess, but the buildup is hardly worth the few minutes of fighting near the end.

You have me beat on the designs though, those robots are fucking beautiful.

>>14195482
gunbuster
iczer 1
zeorymer
tekkaman blade
megazone
orgun
>>
>>14195897
Will I shit myself while watching Iczer 1? from what I've seen it's not for the faint of heart
>>
Only thing I remenber aside from the short mecha scene at the end waas a lot of screaming "HARUUUUKAAAAAAA".
>>
>>14195888
>70's Kaiju flick
Incidentally, Toho was a producer for this.
>>
>>14195052
I thought it was pretty bland all in all, sure, not an utter piece of garbage like Big Wars but still, it was mediocre and overshadowed by the actually good OVAs back then.
>>
The mecha design is perfect. A shame about the boring pace.
>>
It's an alright ova.

The last 20 or so minutes are pretty awesome however and it would be cool if it were in srw
>>
>>14195910
It's really fucking violent, but it's the kind of 80's OVA gore violence that's so absurdly over the top that I can't even watch it without giggling.

Funny how Nagisa didn't get seriously messed up from watching her parents turn into horrible abominations and explode right in front of her.

Please let this meme end.

Nigger even if you don't like Gunbuster you're just being an attention seeking shitwad to claim it's worse than Cybernetics Guardian.
>>
>>14195052
It's extraordinarily boring, and even the best designs in the world wouldn't be able to save it from that.

>>14195910
Only if you're a pansy.

>>14196799
He didn't claim or imply that at all, though.
>>
>>14196799
Gunbuster is shit and should be called Nutbuster because it is made for moefag and hentai freaks to jerk off to. Cybernetics Guardian is definitely better unless you have low test and high autism.
>>
>>14196938
Nice buzzwords fampai, can you tell me which bait shop you got them from?
>>
I always question whenever someone tries to sell me something and says SHADING as if it's an essential positive. Shading should be a super cool bonus, not something you rely on as a plus point..

>>14196938
I have never seen so many buzzwords in one post and yet mean so little

It's The Thing level gore and monsters. It's fun and comfy.

The Thing is a comfy as fuck movie

The movie is mediocre but the end is glorious. Not enough animated kaiju style fighting out there. Also love biomechanical designs, I have some pics if anyone is interested?

Because this >>14195090

Rest of the movie was spend on setting a story which was rendered useless with the zero payoff at the end,to the point where a 20 minute cut would be enough.

They wasted those girls without using them in a sex scene.

Did the mecha designer ever do designs for a series instead of short OVAs?
