Re: Why are most anime fans/weebs some of the worst people you can run into online?

I understand that you're trying to minimize the issues I've mentioned here, but it doesn't change the fact that moderator abuse is a real problem that shouldn't be swept under the rug. It's not about me "deserving it" or my perception about it. it's about the way moderation should be fair,...

Why are most anime fans/weebs some of the worst people you can run into online?

Before anyone assumes this is a direct attack or targets me unfairly, let me clarify: this isn't aimed at anyone on Mechatalk specifically. These are just my personal experiences. I've often struggled to understand why some anime fans and enthusiasts come across as incoherent or immature in their be...

Re: Neo Britannia Knightmare Frames

Im not sure why the fandom doesn't take the source material seriously. Neo Britannia or some other balkanized faction of the Former Holy Britannian Empire would make a legitimately interesting setting or premise just staying the hell away from Japan. Could even tap further into more geass mysteries ...

Re: Code Geass Roze

Having just played through STALKER 2, I definitely think Geass could have done something similar with the barrier zone or that global thought elevator network shown in R2, Except with knightmare frames added to the mix and instead of psi facilities, its all secretive around weaponized Geass technolo...

Re: Code Geass Roze

That "Lost stories" tower defense gacha has definitely not done the franchise any service either. IMO, the real problem with Code Geass is Bandai Namco's inability to leave it alone and insistence that it has to become a franchise. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion was a solid, well-st...

Re: Code Geass Roze

Yeah, i wasn't that surprised with the Japanese side of the fanbase and I do like other CLAMP anime like Chobits. Most of the Code Geass merch and collabs are Suzaku and Lelouch front in center with CC there sometimes. It was just the overseas echo chamber of unimaginative idiots who were just using...

Re: Neo Britannia Knightmare Frames

What exactly was the point of even having neo britannian KMFs when a submarine deployed giant roomba droid army was always the endgame for some reason? For obvious reasons (PR suicide), Lord Noland couldn't make his plan to Kill All Humans with an army of unmanned Knightmares public knowledge. So e...

Re: Code Geass Roze

I dont know why this fanbase has their heads up their own ass and are some of the most unimaginative hostile buzzkills I have ever had the displeasure of encountering on the internet. Even going so far as to 3D model original Knightmare Frames just gets you banned while they act like they're above e...

Re: Member Introduction Thread Mk IV

I found this forum through complaints about the state of /m/ on 4chan, and I’m glad to have a more stable alternative here. This place is much better than dealing with the hypocritical, off-topic discussions that tend to dominate there. When I made a single, dedicated thread for my favorite characte...

If you're talking about the newer Disney-era Star Wars, [...] That's completely irrelevant, TBH. The point is that the story of Code Geass , like Star Wars , had a very definite and unambiguous ending which resolved the central conflict and provided closure for the central characters.

Re: Knightmare Frame History?

If you're talking about the newer Disney-era Star Wars, I'd say the Expanded Universe was something totally different. The EU had stories like Rogue Squadron, Knights of the Old Republic, Shadows of the Empire, and Empire at War, etc. it really let you dive deep into the Star Wars universe in a way ...

Re: Fukudas best work

Oh boy! We're getting a prequel to the completely unnecessary sequel that went nowhere and added nothing of meaning or value to a story that was already well past its use-by date!

Re: Knightmare Frame History?

Despite what the minimal descriptive text has to say about the Zi-Artemis, it really does seem to exist only as a powerup/flight unit for the Zi-Apollo similar to how Mobile Suit Gundam 00 treated the 00 Raiser (as Mafty observed). Lelouch's Shinkiro is a very different case, on several levels. Fir...

Re: A Certain Scientific Accelerator Manga and Anime

The misaka clones and their flash memory imprinting were the only remotely interesting or scientific thing in the show. You basically have the perfect setup for a shadow war with various factions deploying clone armies behind the scenes. Yet the series devolved quickly after the second season of “A...
