Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! feels like one big reference.

They also had a secondary robot model that looked a FUCKTON like a Getter. It was a background giant robot that would appear later on in the series, sometimes even in multiples, but it had Getter-1's "ears".

There was an episode of Regular Show that was basically /m/- the episode.

by fucking it up bad enough to look like a standard garbage capeshit mecha design from the legs down

>>14222805

It was basically shallow reference the episode. Whenever these assholes do "references" it's always incredibly LOOK X EXISTS. That's not a joke, that's you idiots barking like you're Pavlov's fucking bitch
>>
>>14222827
all references are shallow in the sense that they appeal to someone's knowledge of the referenced entity for their value.
Doesn't bother me.

This. I didn't like it. I want robots on their own terms, not "quirky homages :^)". Then again I'm not much for "Beta, his Bro and The Status Quo" the show.

You can do a reference without it being HEY LOOK REMEMBER X!

Megas did it all the fucking time. You don't have to know who Harlock is to appreciate Warlock. He exists as his own character and the Harlock connection only served as inspiration and makes him richer. It was the same with S-force. Magnanimus was a but strong on the Campbell Ill grant you but you still don't have to know him or Modock to get the jokes.

How does she stand? Is she lifting her whole body with her arms alone?
>>
>>14222924
Who are you referring to?

In any case, if by standing you mean riding, then you can see that the rider on the left is fitting into the machine via multiple points; e.g. clamps on her middle, her heels lock onto the footrests/pedals, etc.

Right is anyone's guess. It's a shitty copy. Go watch Bubblegum Crisis.

I can't place any specific references, but it's clear that Dexter's Lab borrows a lot from /m/ shows and anime in general.

This is the B E S T episode of Regular Show. Many come close, but this is the best.

Really? I've never had that feeling with the show in general. And it has lots of little jookes/references to shit from the 80s-90s.
I guess it being american adds an atmosphere of general soullessnes.
