| What's with all the mecha this year?! O.O I LOVE IT! Nice art.. |
phoenixalia said: You don't have to be defensive, as I say it all part tongue-in-cheek. My point really being that generally, it's hard to avoid fanservice as anime goes, even in 'premier' shows.Ckan said: Geez, don;t be boors. Mecha is the second home of ecchi, I mean take a look at Geass, Gunbuster, Break Blade amd Evangelion for starters. Yeah, like I said, in the shows I'VE watched. I haven't watched any of those. I'll be watching Break Blade's remake soon though. As you haven't seen any of those, you have a bright road ahead of you if you can like mecha. |
| More mecha? I'm in, liking some of those designs quite a bit. |
| Coool, more mecha goodness to look forward to. Gonna be a great year. |

| XEBEC doing another mech series? Exciting! Also can't wait for Fafner Exodus this autumn! |
| I will prove to you that I am the supreme ruler of Heaven! Maoh Shakumesujin! |
| Lots of mecha these days will give it a try!!!! in the summer |
| Looks decent! Will watch most likely. |
Ckan said: Do you have some kind of hallucinations? Where did you see any 'ecchi' in Break Blade? Seriously, it's one of the most realistic and normal mecha series out there...Mecha is the second home of ecchi, I mean take a look at Geass, Gunbuster, Break Blade amd Evangelion for starters. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |

I kind of see his point. It's obviously not every mecha series, but there's a lot of opportunities to exploit for writer and directors like skin tight body suits and the tendency towards Bishonen and Bishoujo character designs. That said I'm not seeing how it's a de facto second home, just that obviously there's areas where it can come into play. For example Gundam Unicorn has practically no fanservice whatsoever, but obviously something like Yamato 2199 does. |
Red_Keys said: The use of 3D looks really awkward, imo. Also, that ass in face scene had me rolling my eyes. When a PV is already giving off negative vibes, that isn't a good sign. Exactly how I felt about it. |
| When i read the name of title i knew it could be a mecha anime, and i was right after all :). I will be definitely watching this too! |
 |
| Xebec mecha, Ryota Ohsaka, I'm game. |
 |
| LOL i saw the preview and the only thing i was think was that if Michael Bay did anime this would be it >.> fire fights and explosions >.> not sure how i feel XD |
 |
| If I knew the mere mention of ecchi would be such a touchy subject, perhaps I'd have worded things more carefully. I forget that we're not all so service-tolerant. phoenixalia said: Don't apologise, I started it after all. 'Mecha' covers a big variety of shows (some more so than others), but Valvrave, Nobunaga, and BComplex (which I haven't seen yet), are admittedly entertaining, but average shows.I didn't mean to sound offensive. I apologize. I agree with your point about fan service though. I'm sure this series won't have as much ecchi as Dai Shogun(another mecha anime airing in Spring). I wouldn't say I 'like' mecha yet since the ones I've seen so far have been disappointments(Valvrave, Buddy Complex, Nobunaga the Fool). No offense to those who watched those btw, it's just how I felt. I'm not trying to diss the shows. This is why I'm hoping the new mecha from Urobuchi will change my view on mecha. Kaioshin_Sama said: As the good man says. I may have exaggerated on "second home", but given the mecha's long history as a lynchpin of anime, the examples as mentioned, and the fact that practically every popular modern mecha will come with fanservice, I think it was a safe enough analogy.Antanaru said: Ckan said: Do you have some kind of hallucinations?

And as some others have mentioned, one scene does not an ecchi-constant show make. |
| Just the word "mecha" it's enough for me to pick up this show. |
 |
| Thanks ! |
 |
| I lost count of how many mecha we have this year. Mecha is definitely coming back. Thank God. Anime is indeed saved. |
| wooohoo sounds great |
 |
| more mecha, hell yeah, count me in |
| Wow. Someone brought back this thread just to correct someone almost 2 years later. And its his first post. Wow. |
