Mechs are a narrative pain in the ass. They force the setting to revolve around them.

Japanese and it isn’t even close. Western mechs are just tanks with legs, why is that interesting or aspirational?

And Eastern mechs are just superheroes and gokus made out of metal, what's interesting about that?

Who the hell keeps a phone in their bra, goddamn anime is retarded.

what's interesting about superheroes and Goku

Literally everything.

being a neglectful father and borderline abusive husband who actively endangers the world just to get his rocks off

Neither of those are aspirational. I can smell the power scaler stink on you through the screen, you disgusting freak.

Retards who know fuck all about Japanese mecha to begin with.

this but unironically

I think we can all agree
Eastern designers imitating western mechs > western designers imitating eastern mechs

Why do you insist on pitting them against each other? I love them all.

Basically this, only eastern mechs I like are armored core and front mission. I ignore everything else.

But Evangelion

But Ghost in the Shell

Either kind of mech is okay, but keep the disgusting human element out of it. It's why I hate Xenoblade X so much. The game has the audacity to show off waifus who I don't care about in the slightest, when the game should've started you off in a skell from the moment you press start.

I do not care for humans or emotions or feelings, and the game world should be thankful that I don't immediately turn around and reduce everything to ashes. Stop testing my patience by expecting me to sit through boring speeches.

Japanese are the Kings of Mecha, Westard Mecha is just a shitty knockoff for tasteless Americans

One thing I always really appreciated about gundam, is that they invent a magical space metal to explain why giant robot knights aren't a completely retarded inefficient concept.
Mechs are a lot like hover tanks, they're fucking cool, everyone loves them, but there would be no reason for either to ever actually exist in the real world because they're actually quite retarded and impractical (even if they're still cool as shit).

Japanese Mecha are objectively the best

Here's some FAGs bro

holy heck

Western. Most jap mecha I've seen is uncreative uninspired soulless garbage that just looks like a more angular human. The design is boring and has the same effect as a regular human in tacky awful looking armor. I want my mechs to look like actual machines, that's what I'm here for.

japanese mecha games

western mecha games

jankshit LARPing as flight simulator games

Say one more bad thing about Syd Mead and I will kill you.
I think Heavy Gear might have the best explanation for mechs. Gears (mechs) were designed for a world with rough terrain and shitty atmosphere where wheeled/tracked vehicles or aircraft aren't always practical and originally filled the role of more durable infantry fire support. They're too small to suffer the typical square-cube problems mechs face and are powered by practical internal combustion engines. They usually get shitstomped by tanks or other specialized AFVs when they're actually practical to use.

Anon, I...

Both are great honestly but in different genres, the western ones are amazing for the chunky semi-realistic warfare while Japanese ones are good for more anime or spiritual approaches

Reminds me of pic related.
tldr Manufacturers can just add powdered egg to cake mix and it works perfectly fine, but research showed that people still prefer having to add the egg themselves.
Because it feels fresher that way, or because they feel more involved and cheffy if they do more than just combine powder and water.

Cute FAG

Zeta gets its dick sucked way too fucking hard for what it is, simply because so many people die.

It had so many scenes where it just makes you go "Ok Tomino. Ok. Cool. Great, ok. I got it. War bad, I know."

didn't even use clippers

fuck poketrannies

You newfag piece of shit I hate you so much it's unreal.

I knew a fat girl in high school who did this. Kept cash and other random stuff in there too sometimes. She always pulled from the center though, not from like right in front of her boob like in the webm.

Funny coincidence, I've just ordered picrelated (not even into pokemon that much, I'm just buyfagging cheap stuff to liven up the place). Is using clippers important and why? Guess it depends? Can see now that they even striked them out on the box.

is that healthy?

i was trying to play dolls nest last night but i was wasted so i couldn't figure out where to go, wandered in loops for an hour, gave up, and played NFS heat
game seems decent though
also i like all robots equally

isn't turn a designed by a western guy...

Because it leaves ugly marks and sprue residue on the model if you just rip it out like that, some clippers, sanding sponges #600-2000 and a hobby knife are standard equipment for building gunpla.

Why are zoomers so scared of tits?

Nips lacks the MAD CAT

I see, I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

For the pokepla and entry grade gunpla kits they're designed so that you can just pop them off the runner without using nippers. You'll get better results using nippers/a hobby knife and sanding though.

nothing good about western mechs and the good battletech designs were just stolen from anime anyway

get your testosterone checked, faggot

good job japan

That's how it's supposed to work, yes.

the new gundam

Is utter fucking diarrhea. SNEED OVA prequel when.

series cut out all the cool alternate one year war they had in the movie version to focus on the new stuff and lesbians

sorry you have bad taste anon

one year war never happened anon. char captures the gundam and the rocking horse, so it was just a bunch of normal battles leading up to zeon getting a favorable peace treaty with earth

NOOOOOO MY CANON

lmao deal with it, assperger

My wife (left) and my daughter (right)

Western Mechs are awful

Do you think Amuro was the one in the guncannon that gets owned at the colony attack, or reckon he'll make an appearance?

a series of battles leading to a peace treaty

We call that a war.

Generally curious is the one on the right a edit? The one I saw had a spade on her thigh or was the one I saw a edit...

my guess is that its never brought up. they still would've sensed each other I imagine.

yes that is their purpose

Yeah going from the speedy transforming prototypes into the fattest fuck ever is weird.

i am enjoying gcucks quite a bit

based

I've never liked SRT except for Original Generation material, the more there are crossovers the less I want to play. I like original mecha stories, every mission that adds characters from anime is cool for 5 seconds until it takes me out of the game and makes me just wish I was watching a good mecha anime instead of playing a crossover mecha game that makes no sense.

Is GCucks good or just more yurishit for the "modern audience"?

Byarlant custom is great, its not elegant, its not delicate, its a big wide load with parts from other mechs frankensteined onto it to make it more brutal.

I still seethe about that one retarded youtube video where some faggot says unicorn is the best place to start Gundam

right ig
i just like big tits
idk anything about gridman

its 90% mech and alternate gundam history stuff and very little interaction between the two girls. the main chick's sidekick is a guy even

The first time two females are shown touching on screen theres a two second slow motion of it while the background is replaced by sparkles. They know the lesbians were popular in the last one.

delta has the macross spirit more than frontier and I get sick of seeing people shit on it, only sdf has focus on the technical side but everyone acts like thats what the entire series is

NOOOOOO MY CANON

Who complains about that? it's AUC fun. Not a fan of some of the designs of the mechs, they seem too busy.

boobies

there's more of those scenes with her and the noname red gundam pilot

God will punish you, faggot.

talk about mechs

showing a pic of a non-bipedal model

Yikes

Best scene in Unicorn desu. Getting a former Titans Chad to bust out a Byarlant and slaughter uppity space niggers once again in his career was based.

There comes a point in any girls life when the skirt is too short.

instead of a singular rock band with the different elements working together to make music you have a bunch of j-pop lead vocalists trying to sing over each other. it doesn't even make sense with the music aspect anymore

F91 is my favourite gundam design

Was it Zeta Rise? I hate that faggot. Glad he fell off and died.

That's a majority of Gundam, really. I went back and watched every UC Gundam and went through stuff like Wing, G Fighter, etc. and pretty much all of them are filled with pointless suffering and loss that is totally unneeded for a good story. It's clear that Tomino was just looking for reasons to have fucktons of people die in most stories. Victory is of course the worst, but even when I was going through Gundam 00 I was wondering why the fuck some plot decisions were so retarded, like they were obsessed with being bittersweet at every turn.

I wish there were a replacement for Gundam that had all of the kickass designs and (generally) a more grounded and realistic plot, but none of the added baggage. Sadly it seems there aren't many that last longer than being a one-off.

Western mechs are far superior thougheverbeit.
Mecha has no sense of scale.
Just zipping around like a retarded jetfighter with equally retarded weapons and concepts.

Wait, am I wrong on that?

F91 got done so dirty I was hoping we'd get a revival of it.

I've not watched the third episode yet, I guess they're going for the bisexual audience this time.

I know you never stick it i crazy, but Akane man...

I don't have it in me to argue and defend Frontier even though I think Delta was way worse.
Let's just agree they're both niggershit and call it a day.

alternate gundam history

So what the fuck is in it for me if I have no idea what it's even referencing?

Fucking nothing. It's all "MEMBER THIS" and then it rapes your eyes with ugliest fucking CGI robot known to man.

no one could ever have come up with robot but big

The hubris on you weebs.

They are both equally thick, but I like bob cuts much more so right.

i know that this is really old bait but man, scopedog and tx55 really are the peak of mecha designs

no one could ever have come up with robot but big

SO WHY DIDN'T YOU SUPERIOR ARYAN MALE?

because there's some parallel dimension shit going on combined with what-if scenarios. clearly char does the spirit bomb thing on the asteroid in both instances at the same time and caused something to happen and maybe itll finally explain what happens to him

Literally did. The fuck you on about?

I suppose gundam is in some partly a shonen so it makes sense it appeals to kids and it's main function is to sell toys or models

Its better than time skipping into the far flung future since every instance of that has sucked pretty hard. People like the original tensions and stakes and their aftermaths and they never replicate those properly in the far future. But there's also a problem with over-complicating a relatively short period of time by adding too many gundam stories, it just doesn't hold up.

so an alternate dimension that can exist at the same time just sorta makes sense. so far they havent even really used it much to go "HEY, REMEMBER THIS GUY, THEY'RE STILL ALIVE ACTUALLY" which is nice. its just an other gundam story that doesn't have you wondering how it works while other stuff you also know is happening at the same time

Is it because they are aimed at kids?

Toys for children and manchilren, yes. hownu.ru

Also Tomino tried to make the main mecha a gray, military hunk of steel during the first airing. Emphasis on "tried".

Battletech and Mech Commander are directly inspired by the destroids from Macross. Macross started because of the popularity of Gundam. Gundam was Tomino's attempt to bring realism to the genre from shows like Mazinger and Gigantor.

Yes.
Thankfully grunt suits don't suffer as much from this and typically are cooler anyway.

That's the joke, all the "Average Japanese" ones are designed by Westerners, like the Turn A Gundam by Syd Mead, and all the "Average Western" ones are Japanese designs, like the Front Mission Wanzer and the Armored Core V AC.

Reminds me of rapejeets going "BOBS BAJEEN" under Bouguereau posts on Facebook. But timmies instead of jeets and anime tits instead of Bouguereau lmao

Bandai cucked Tomino hard with the original show. The G-3 Gundam was the original paint scheme for the show but Bandai basically had a shitfest that they wanted to sell toys so the colors were added.

Yeah that's cool and all, but what does that have to do with stating that robot, but big could only come to exist because glorious nippon folded 10 gorillion times thought of it?

They explained the first gundam was painted like that because it was supposed to be a parade model, but then by the time they got around to mass producing them the design was iconic as a morale thing so they stuck with it. there's proper coloured alternatives here and there, like when the Sazabi wasn't being piloted by Char and didn't need his personal colour scheme

sazabi.jpg - 640x480, 86.68K

Most of these figurines could probably be seen from space with a blacklight

Cut the parts out closer to the plastic runner that holds the parts and then trim and gently sand down the nub so as to fully remove it without as much of a risk of cutting out part of the part's plastic. Anon Babble and Anon Babble both have some decent guides for plastic model beginners to get started with in their plamo generals.

But the audience also fucking hated and and (literally) cried when watching it with their shithead kids. Then they repainted the Gundam, toned down Tomino's war PTSD and started selling toys for 10 which sold like hotcakes. Zaku was never meant to be a toy so it remained green and militaristic.
Tomino also came around and said he prefer the toylike colorful Gundam and that it reminds him of peace.

Or is this an urban myth and I'm a senile schizo?

I was expecting a swerve and then the pikachu head would be on a mech
I was disappointed

normal people wouldnt jerk to drawings and seek out a mating partner that is real. testosterone has nothing to do with animu gooning

That's a stolen Japanese mecha. Allah willing I will bomb Harmony Gold's HQ.

laser weapons exist

still make super tall and easy to hit mechs

never understood it. at least in gundam the beam weapons can be dodged for some reason so there's some plausible reason to still make 6 storey tall mechs

Couldn't be. It doesn't look retarded.

You dont need them for cheap stuff but its a $6-10 tool and it makes what you are working on look so much nicer.

I really dislike gay robots with mechs that are shaped like humans and fly through space.

A little ineloquent albeit true, FPBP.

wtf was going on with the names during zeta gundam? Let me guess, it was something like "Tomino did it one day on a whim."

Let me guess, it was something like "Tomino did it one day on a whim."

It was "Tomino made stupid names to mess with the producers and they didn't care so he just kept going."

The One Year War was already going by the time the Federation's Operation V started, the original Gundam takes place over roughly 4 months since it was mid-September at the start of the series. In the new series it probably wouldn't be called The One Year War since it probably got cut pretty short, but the war itself did still happen. The real casualty of it all though is the GM, poor bastards never got to be made since the Gundam didn't get to run around and record data for the Feds.

wtf I don't remember posting this.

As opposed to the original gundam where the earth federation could come up against a force of Zock, Z'gok, Zocky, Zgocky, Zgok-E and Zogok and noone thinks the guy calling out the names is having a stroke until its too late.

Fuck I need to replay Titanfall
They'll fuck up tf3, will they?

Titanfall lost people when the retards went "we don't use the word "mecha" that's a dirty word for us" in an uninformed Cuckmann tier spiel.

Personally I'm not a big fan of japanese mechs, because the mechs stop mattering in the context of the story. For example, one guy can literally defeat the entire enemy force just because he has love and friendship. He doesn't have to be a better pilot or have good strategic planning or anything. He just talks about perserverance and love and suddenly he gains magic powers to destroy every bad guy.

Example: one mech anime I found to be tedious and boring called Dual: Parallel Adventures.

The movie version has GMs being made anyway, just with guncannon as the main prototype I think.

He just talks about perserverance and love and suddenly he gains magic powers to destroy every bad guy.

So don't watch Super Robot anime? There's plenty of Real Robot mecha anime where pilots drop like flies.

doesn't sound like gundam, anyways. which show are you referencing specifically?

he just like me fr

I specifically mentioned Dual: Parallel Adventures because it's the most egregious example.

the main character gets sent to an alternate universe where only girls can pilot robots

but he's exempt because ????

also he magically gets a harem of not!Asuka and not!Rei and probably 5 other girls

at first he pilots a standard robot, nothing out of the ordinary

but then he gets a super robot that flies and has magic wings and never runs out of fuel and can travel across dimensions because ...????

show ends with everyone getting their magic happy ending, even though nothing was lost or gained

Here's your robot you wanted son

Mom, that's a horse.

It happens in gundam too, see Iron blooded orphans also pulled it in the last episode of the first season with the new mech overpowering the gundam until the pilot suddenly decides nah i'd win and the gundam immediately wins by just pulling more physical strength out of its ass.

That's good to hear. I'll have to get around to watching it then, love me GMs.

Holy shit it's Tokai "Triple Fracture" Teio

Just as a heads up they haven't appeared in the anime yet, the OVA movie had extended one year war sections where they showed up but the series seems to be cut differently.

It's honestly a total campy insult to the original. It's creatively-speaking obscene.

the tabletop community

I think you've posted like 3 japanese design as "western"
VOTOM, Front Mission, Metal Gear, so I hope that's irony

Also Chromehound is cheapass, unimaginative and have zero practical consideration.
It's common to claim Western design is about making the mech as "weapon" unlike japanese "samurai", but Western design do far dumber things like putting glass on every mech to match their WWII fighters, or to show the overpaid actor face, and they often stupidly act as if looking ugly was a sign of realism.

Based. best thing to come from WFM.

arms serve no purpose

it's to balance the mech so it doesn't tip over, the issue with most japanese mecha is that they are not designed with balance in mind, it often causes issues with the models themselves IRL

one of the funniest things about the west vs east debate is the usual argument of

it's fantasy who cares

doesn't work with mecha because models of these designs have to exist to be sold and Gundam has very notoriously had issues with their models falling apart due to poorly balanced designs that breakdown with gravity

^ This but unironically because I'm not a homosexual or tranny.

Yeah...

akane 4.jpg - 1600x1200, 170.58K

Ironically, armored Core designs are great in terms of model kits because the mechs don't skip leg day, so half the mech is in its legs.

IBO also ends with railguns straight to their dome. a 1v1 fight where the one with the stronger conviction winning is not the same as what the guy was talking about where friendship destroys an entire fleet or whatever

I don't believe you

I'm just having a laugh at western and eastern design warfaggotry when JP mecha is the progenitor of all western designs.

That's actually not true, mecha stems from early western sci-fi, and some of the earliest mecha is from B.C. era

cute pedalboard

the inner mechanisms cannot beat gravity my man, if the model can't stand upright in natural gravity it's a bad design, which is where you might have to cope about no-gravity situations

functionally, gundams designed for no-gravity are all mostly poor, humanoid design flaws are usually the plotpoints of episodes where the mech spins out of control, most gundams lack good sense

yeah thats literally me

What if gundamium leo?

No, they're in a literal grappling strength contest pushing against each other for some fucking reason, the bad guy mech is larger and stronger but then the gundam guy believes in himself hard enough that the mech pulls extra servo strength out of its ass and overpowers it.

true, but the statement that JP mecha is the progenitor of all western designs is patently false, golems are a jewish institution which is the progenitor of all mecha

they actually got the idea from me when I went back in time to prove you wrong.

chicken walkers are the only bipedal mechs I will tolerate
this is not up for debate

Using a hollow plastic toy is a shit comparison. I can take a .22 to a 1/100 Tiger tank and punch right through it. Doesn't work on an actual one.

what is even considered a western mech?

There are people who think the Leo is shit because of how easily it gets wrecked in Wing.

It's actually a really good grunt suit they just job for the twinks.

using a hollow plastic toy is the most ideal design for a gundam, because with any amount of weight the balance would cause most of the subsystems to implode

there's a reason why the new tesla and chinese robots are very light, humanoid designs have a limit on weight, western mechas that eschew from humanoid designs into more load bearing designs have a very real plausibility, even if senselessly expensive to reproduce on a 1:1 scale

whenever japan tries to recreate a gundam, like here
youtube.com/watch?v=PGuGSbExIC4
they have to use the lightest materials possible while also extending the mech at every pressure point in the back to counter balance it so it doesn't collapse under it's own faulty design

i get you want to argue for arguments sake but rule of cool is really the only argument you can really have, gundams exist well in a video game and in media but not as physical objects

Gridman is a thighs anime

Zeta's biggest problem is the mandated fight scenes. Every episode has a fight even when it would make more sense for some episodes to end without one. The Psycho Gundam levels Hong Kong three times in a row when really you just needed it to happen once

And none of this applies to western mech?

the issue with most japanese mecha is that they are not designed with balance in mind, it often causes issues with the models themselves IRL

the inner mechanisms cannot beat gravity my man, if the model can't stand upright in natural gravity it's a bad design, which is where you might have to cope about no-gravity situations

wtf this thing can barely stand up by itself, what kind of stupid unrealistic design is this?

Angela White owes me sex.

Western mechs are perfectly designed. Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

xenogears would have been better without the mechs. Same as eva. The

toll status?

ibo is centuries in the future and I also hate it. plus they have railguns by then anyways which are infinitely more destructive

Never forget

define "really good grunt suit," it gets owned from episode 1 onwards. I agree that it looks cool, but it's never functional. Hell the Taurus comes out by episode 10 and even it is made obsolete in like 10 episodes.

What game is this? Faggot.

Dual is in the same multiverse as Tenchi Muyo, and Zinv is powered by a royal tree, so the MC is probably descended from juraian royalty. Source:Zinv shows up in Tenchi Muyo GXP.

I fell in love with Tallgeese as a kid. That fight with Heavyarms where it's a whole chest higher was funny as hell.
Zechs clocked Heero in the Ground variant Leo. In space. It's got a universal weapons systems something Zeon wouldn't get behind until the pezun project. Capable of operation in all parts of the earth and with some slight modifications Space. The Gundams in Wing were just obscene Dynasty Warrior protag broken.

trash list

Pokepla are nice and quick kits, but holy fuck some of the sticker placements are so god awful that they could've just made them pieces instead, like the ear tips on Pikachu here.

So now we can add magic prophecies to the list. May as well throw in the Care Bears for good luck.

Tittyfall 2 is going to be 9 years old. All the staff either retired or are in management positions. You're getting the GAYPEX team Titanfall

Yea lived till double zeta so he could have his character assassinated

i never add eggs wtf, are people dumb?
if i'm adding eggs, i might as well do it with flour from the beginning

I mean, you accidentally make a good point. A significant portion of our brains is dedicated solely to unconscious balance and proprioception so we can function as upright creatures. We are incredibly unstable. In the same way, a humanoid mecha would be immensely difficult to balance.

Sure, why not. As for the mc being exempt, another explanation is crossing dimensions gives you super powers. That shit goes al the way back to El Hazard with the mc getting the power to manipulate the ancient lost tech of the new world with just a touch, his P.E. teacher getting super strength(but only when he's sober), his childhood friend getting the ability to see through any illusion, and his rival getting the ability to understand and command the loyalty of, the local hivemind bug people species.

Jap mechs as despite being far less realistic, they are way more practical in terms of actual combat as they tend to be nimble and fast while western stuff is stuck in the mindset of "its big so it needs to be slow!" that really hinders their potential.

Stop looking purely at gundam type series then fag
Granted Maschinen Krieger centers more around power armor and unmanned drones but the series has some mechs

It literally won the final battle in the series.

Why do you say that? :c

What are you talking about? :c

true dude

I do like a lot of mechwarrior designs and the concept of customised weapon sets which excel at different things.

Unfortunately there's no real world use where something else wouldn't work better, if you are attempting a more down-to-earth style.

in australia it is legal to hire escorts.
for 300$ an hour, I hired a 5 foot jap woman with j-cups (fake tits but decent quality fake).
she worked my cock so much with her tits, they were drenched in my cum.
boobs are the proof that god is real.

Are you sure?

It's fuckin slop. Couldn't even get the original VA to voice char.

Its a troll copypasta. However calling them western inspired and then posting mechs from Battletech kind of demonstrates you're a fucking retard and complete secondary to the series. A good number of designs for some of the earlier mechs like the Marauder, Rifleman, Locust, and Warbringer among a ton of others were taken directly from a few different anime series. There was also this whole legal clusterfuck that resulted in them being removed from the canon.
So basically you got it backwards nigger. Battletech/Mechwarrior designs were inspired by Japanese designs, just not big multi-color robo samurai designs.

So lemme get this straight.
Gridman's common theme is that some kind of evil computer virus digital entity would find the most pathetic kid with a PC, and then team up with him to make life miserable for everyone else and occasionally try to kill people because you gotta start em young. But eventually the protagonist of the current season would teach the kid the power of friendship and then they'd team up to defeat the evil computer virus.
And the first season's localization (literally Superhuman Samurai Syber Squad (yes, that's what SSSS refers to)) made the villain kid like... the most pathetic person you could possibly imagine. Like, just look up an episode. Any episode.

But ANYWAY, the season that put the series on the map went full anime, and instead of the usual formula, it was like... a DREAM entity... and it gave full lucid dream powers to a girl, and she was acting as a villain against people who were literally of her own creation. And somehow, these protagonists, who I must reiterate are of her own making, managed to convince her to wake up from a neverending dream in which she is literally God with a capital G. (B-But it's NOT REAL!!)

Is that the jist of it? Am I understanding this all right?

the roster sucks.

That sounds too insane to be real, so I'll assume it's 100% legit.

Its was Macross and the Destroids.

Hildolfr is so much fucking fun in GBO2. I'm playing Initial D and ramming shins like a bastard every time.
In the Eng DUB of the OVA Isamu is voiced by a yong Bryan Cranston

Isaamu is one of the greatest chads in anime history.

Turns out being doxxed doesn't unfaggot someone.

Zeon even makes cooler guntanks than feddies.

Not really. You should just watch it it’s good. Dynazenon I couldn’t really get into but Gridman is great

Oversimplification, but yes.

I prefer sanding sticks or high grit glass files. The sponges are a little too big and sometimes the sprue marks are in annoying to reach places

I like mechs that go DAKKA. The higher the fire rate - the better.
Lasers and missiles are gay.

Original Guren Mk2 before all those faggy "upgrades" was the coolest shit ever and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

GurenMk2.gif - 468x260, 789.97K

Dynazenon is great though, especially after Gridknight shows up. the main theme is better too.

Too bad Spinzaku still styled on it.

HAXALOT DOESN'T COUNT.

That's what happens when you let browns make your weapons instead of white men.

I like Transformers and Gundam, especially G Gundam. Code Geass I watch less for mechs, and more insane drama.

You should check out Build fighters and Build Fighters Try it's in the same vein as Mobile Fighter G

best OVA ever. fight me.

There are western mecha?

I still like DYRL more.

Habeeb it.

I like both, but it is without a doubt that western aesthetics are superior to asian weird spikes and clashing colors on everything design

Even when european artists draw the same "giant armored man suit" they do it better.

Agreed. Macross Plus is a pure joy to watch

because the mechs stop mattering in the context of the story.

just go watch Valvrape and never bother with mecha and i dont ever have to read your abhorrent opinions

it's an abhorrent opinion if you don't want your mech series to become some shitty sailor moon ripoff with even more waifu pandering

carl.gif - 640x480, 55.87K

The people who don't like JP mecha always go to the extreme ends of it where it's Super Robot and don't bother to engage in the more grounded series.

implying that means anything when even the "grounded" series consists of a 12 year old being part of an ancient prophecy where he gets an ultra powerful magic mech that comes with a harem of 1 dimensional waifu cliches

You're being very hyperbolic when the Karl edit I just posted is a series where the protag constantly loses and his actions make that world even shittier as a result because the wrong people won in the end.

Emme.jpg - 1124x1286, 190.01K

constantly loses

Which means he isn't immediately killed after his first loss. Nice "grounded" anime you got there.

EVERY JAP MECHA SHOW IS LITERALLY JUST AQUARION+MACROSS DELTA

you """""""""""people""""""""""""" are incorregible. there's COUNTLESS mecha shows and you get hung up on some garbage no one's even heard about but that's why they made garbage ESPECIFICALLY for """"""""""""people""""""""""""""""" like you
86, Aldnoah, Heavy Object

B-BUT THOSE ARE NOT MECHA

and you are a raging faggot so it checks out

Aldnoah

Isn't that the anime where the main character is a high school student, and they beat back countless veterans because he's a "prodigy" and can somehow beat back an entire planet's invasion force?

Nice goalpost shift you have there. You asked for a grounded show, I gave you one, and now you're mad the protagonist doesn't die right out of the gate. May as well never engage in fictional media and stick to war documentaries or would you seethe about band of brothers because Winters' survived WWII?

main character comes close to death

but he's never killed because the villains constantly gloat about how they're better and that good is dumb etc etc

hero escapes without a scratch every single time

Ah yes, all the emotional complexity of an episode of Pokemon.

asian weird spikes and clashing colors on everything design

name 3

Every single mech that shows up in Super Robot Wars.

Then go watch WITP

named characters sortie out

they shoot each other a bit and deal no serious damage

bad guys decide to retreat because good guys get reinforcements or their synthetic newtype gets a melty or some other reason

Vast majority of fights in the later part of the show.

Those are super robots

Is there any good translation for this? Really enjoyed it until the translation quality took a nose-dive.

Few of these do not have random spikes or clashing colors

Are you kidding? Those mechs are ugly as sin, like someone took a paint bucket and splashed them at random.

I haven't checked in on them in a while, sorry

Thanks bro. The movies are gorgeous.

I watched a video about Armored Core and now I want to play it, what's the best begginer friendly of the games that's easy to emulate?

Play the series in order, from Armored Core 1, and move upward. If you don't like a specific installment, skip the expansions and go right to the next numbered installment.

Last Raven
Emulate the PSP port

sneed and 00 cope secondary niggers

you faggots and your newtype shonenshit faggotry have been a cancer on gundam as a series since it was released.

Whats with Gundam and their boner with Main Protags dying and bad guys won ????

go back to DBZ brownoid
