Yes. Reading something quite literally gave you cancer. I'm glad that the short stint of a minor mecha had that profound of an impact on your life. C'mon Deacon, didn't you know that bad cartoon robot designs can give you cancer? It's just like how bad sequels/adaptations can reach back in time and...

Actually, that makes me even more intrigued. I think I'll just dive right in and give Southern Cross a chance. I haven't seen Robotech in a really long time so my memory's hazy about the second season, but I figure I ought to see it's original form, just like I did for SDF MAcross, which I ended up...

The Musai class, of whatever UC story variation. It is a no fuss, no muss, combat space ship. It is laid out in a straight line, every thing in its place with no wasted space, fast & manueverable, great fields of fire for the main armament, and (most of all) the MS can launch without hindrance o...

An issue I think is being ignored in this discussion is human adaptation. No surprise, the gearhead element must represent! But I want to address the issue of the human component that this theoretical curriculum is supposedly addressing. Part of this is the anthropomorphic frame, natch. But the key ...

On the fifth episode, ( spoilers ) we finally got mecha versus mecha action, and it kicked much booty. Interesting result, since Ernesti & friends did not completely Save The Day. The clever redhead from the Copper Fangs got away with a prize for her patron. The mission nicely grounded the anime...

The show is still holding up, and holding its course. Ernesti should be lucky he has some female friends to look out for his general welfare. :) The weapons upgrades were good, and I think the small armors so armed could do some good in patrols to drive back the monsters and allow for better use of ...

I am certain that is what is intended, albeit in a "weapon arm" extended mount instead of a heavier artillery mount.

Well, I suppose we are going to have a third set, since nothing was truly resolved. Good high action & drama ending, with Io & Darryl passing in the night (of fire) so to speak. Darryl's relief at escaping a tight fight and successfully evacing his team was offset by that jerkass just passiv...

Episode 3 was good, sidelining monster hunting for tech building. Ernesti won the trust of a king, got permission to build, and then it turned into a Velocity Channel program. Good look at what passes for mecha tech, and a shape of things to come. Also, Helvi-senpai.

I think we are getting off topic here. This is supposed to be a discussion on morphological frequency, not a rehash of quality/quantity. Besides, everybody knows that in question of Zaku versus GM the Kampfer Amazing is #1. :P In addition to the mundane matter like pleasing the sugar daddies at Namc...

Cat-eared girls, cat-eared mecha, BEM opponents, in-joke names galore.... Yes, this must be made into a PC game and/or 12-part anime. Make it so, Commander.

Summer shows tend to be short, so I am presuming they have 12 episodes to cram in as much fun as possible. Certain summer anime have gone on to great things, so you never know!

The best part of Episode 2 though was Ernesti gleefully hijacking & hacking Dietrch's robot to fight the battleship-sized giant monster and find a way to defeat it. (How many mecha games did this guy play in his previous life? ALL OF THEM!! :lol: ) The shiny-eyed disregard for Absolutely Destruc...

My work here is done. 8) I do think the main hero's passion is the same as before. To me he has an "awakening" at a pivotal scene and everything returns as part of the moment, so to speak. Having the accumulated life experience as a computer programmer and mecha fan is a big help. Apparent...

The early classic mecha anime like Macross and Gundam were made with rather conventional marketing support. It was still supposedly "kids' stuff" aimed at boys. So there would be a few easily identifiable hero designs, maybe a few more good-guy grunt suits that were sort of like the hero m...

The character designs pay great face to the original, no doubt as intended. Komino Masahiko has been in the biz for a while, so he is familiar with classic and current tastes for appealing characters. The #1 characters though, Eve/EVE & the Garland itself, still need to make an appearance though...

You are welcome Deathzealot. There have been some good non-franchise mecha anime broadcast this year, so I want members to know they have options. Knight's & Magic (the apostrophe is not a typo) is a light novel adaptation. A friend of mine read the first couple of volumes and demanded this anim...

Yes, yes, oh god yes is this the real mecha anime hit for the summer time. Serious mecha otaku who could be MAHQ member is content and happy until he gets squashed by a truck. The End. No wait, he is reincarnated into Little Lord Bishiroy in a far-away land where mecha suits run on magic. And he is ...

Great premise! Great mecha! Interesting characters! More implausible scene cuts than Urusei Yatsura: Beautiful Dreamer! Now if the staff could make it seem like more than the teaser trailer to the story we are supposed to be getting. Did anyone else besides Uncle Zeo get confused when the credits ra...

For mecha and mufflers, one might reference Blue Gale Xabungle, which has the sort of tech which might make mufflers a good thing.
