It isn't anime, but has anyone here ever watched Megas XLR?

[Ming]

I started watching Full Metal Panic! yesterday when I discovered I could watch anime okay

Pretty good stuff

[ScumbagSoldier]

Is this /m/?

[Ming]

Yes

But not even robots can make golf something I want to play

[McJongJing]

Anyone else watch Build Fighters?
It was fucking amazing. So many fun moments of hype.
All the contestants in the tournament felt like really good, strong opponents.
It never takes itself too seriously though.
It's the best thing to come out of Gundam this decade.

too bad try sucks

[Ming]

I loved Build Fighters. Favourite parts are Star Build vs. Fenice, and GM Sniper vs Kampfer Amazing.

Try was terrible though. Only good for a few nice gunpla and Tryon 3.

"Try was terrible"


Kampfer was great. I love the battle between Fenice and Aila because I genuinely had no clue who was going to win so it was very tense.
The characters are all great too. and I miss them ;_;

[ScumbagSoldier]

I didn't watch Build Fighters or try...




...But I did see Gyanko and her doujins.

[Ming]

Not even Gyanko's developed bosom could save Try from being bad. 

But at least it isn't as bad as IBO. In Try there's at least action happening on the regular even if the rest is either hollow, poorly written or just bland.

Iron Blooded Orphans is so, so, so fucking bad.
There's almost nothing at stake, because no one seems particularly invested in stopping ghallajhorn and freeing mars.
Ghallajhorn doesn't seem very invested either, with how little resistance they've displayed towards what's her name and Tekkadan
Mikazuki is fucking dull and static. Not enough interactions between him and Orga to sell me on their bromance.
Blonde bitch had a lot of potential, but I'm seeing no growth. Just "oh woe is me I need to be stronger for these kids and Mars" but she doesn't DO ANYTHING
Too many villains we have no investment in. Teiwaz fight was over practically nothing.
Pirates fight has no emotional stakes. They're just some random pirates. I got no reason to care because I know nothing about them.

Compare this to 0079, or Zeta. The protagonists have clear goals: stop Zeon and protect white base/remove Titans
A good amount of time is spent building up these factions as threats. You see the Titans pull off a number of crimes, a woman defects because of it, Kamilles parents are killed by them, thus giving him a personal involvement in the conflict.
We see Zeon colony drop niggas and blow up Amuros home. From there Amuro and White Base are hounded by Char and Zeon forces, thus forging an emotional engagement over time.

In IBO you sort of have this at the start with Ghallajhorn attacking CGS, but it's resolved in like five episodes and then we spend 7 meandering about.
I dropped this show at episode 14. Did it ever get better?

[Ming]

Well... 

We finally got one more fight last episode. The fact that I have to say that there's finally a fight in a mecha show like it's something special in itself only goes to show how horribly mismanaged the project is.

Sadly it was poorly directed and animated, AGAIN. The lack of fightan would have at least been a little forgivable if they were actually really well done and worth waiting for.

Akihiro got his new MS, Gundam Gusion Rebake (the frog Gundam with all the heavy armour removed), and Purple Hair Man got his new MS, Gundam Kimaris. Both are really cool, yet as I said, the fight was poor.

Kudelia once again went THESE POOR PEOPLE and did nothing (several times, as is tradition). But in this last episode she also once again went I'VE DECIDED TO FIGHT. Only this time the show is actually starting to turn her into a revolutionary figure head by having her make that statement on Live TV after the (failed) rebellion on the Colony.

Oh, and we're still not at Earth.

 

Also NotChar still hasn't been in a fight since Episode 3 I think it was.



I'm so mad at how poor IBO turned out to be because I love the mecha designs so much.

 

[McJongJing]

I'm conflicted about buying ibo gunpla
I like the Barbatos, but don't want to financial support this travesty

[Kami_sama]

Pirate it!

[McJongJing]

You wouldn't download a Gundam...
