| Yeah, it is relatively serious. I somehow forgot about that criteria as I was writing. |

| You know Valvrave's a winner the moment you hear it has an ED that goes "boku ja nai, boku ja nai, boku ja nai" |

| The only thing I know about Valvrape is: |
| Valvrape was great, I don't know what you guys are on. Better than Captain Earth anyway. |
| Anyone seen AKB0048? How prevalent is the mecha? |
| Sieg Zeon! |
QuattroVaginas said: I actually can't remember, but the main characters don't actually pilot any/often.How prevalent is the mecha? It's pretty fab if you like power of music, a bit of idol grind, and can enjoy AKB48 songs. Probably my favourite Kawamori series. |
| Deciding between AKB0048 and Xenoglossia as my first idol show, bar Macross. Probably AKB0048, since it's split cour. |

fst said: cupc said: Do you seriously prefer it to Macross Frontier? Or Aquarion? Or 0083? he didn't direct 0083 |
|
| Kawamori's only notable for his mechanical designs anyway. Neutral on his direction, as I've only seen Macross. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
cupc said: fst said: Or Aquarion? Or 0083? he didn't direct 0083 Doesn't matter he designed the Gundams in it |
cupc said: Yes. 100%.Do you seriously prefer it to Macross Frontier? fst said: Aquarion was really shaky - it had all these character moments and world building, but it really didn't care to plot a coherent story in the end, so it all came out rather wasteful and half-baked. Unless you meant Evol which I havent seen yet.Or Aquarion? Or 0083? Just mechanical doesn't make 0083 a Kawamori show, even though it turned out as silly as one. |
| I was joking about aquarion. I haven't seen it and know nothing about it except that the mecha is powered by 3 pilots simultaneous orgasms. Or something like that. |
| I do have a fondness for it though - the OPs are amazing, the cheese was amusing, and it's ridiculously overpowered in SRW Z. |
| In any case, can we agree that Kawamori should stick to mecha designs? |
| Well, I don't know. I liked AKB ridiculously so, and Frontier was alright. On the other-hand, the shows he's headed have tended to be disappointing story-wise, true. If he weren't around making these shows, there'd be a lot less mecha around though, so I can't say he should just stick to designing. I'd rather have his ups and downs over nothing. |
| I'm going to disregard your love of AKB because I remember seeing an episode of it once, and... no, just no. I'm also going to disregard your opinion that anything is better than no mecha. That being the case, I guess we can agree that he should stick to mecha designs. Is it so wrong to want the guy to stick to doing what he does best? |
| He's probably essential to the survival of Macross though. |
| What do you mean by "survival"? |
| I think he's the ony guy who's been around for every iteration. Without him, where will the soul come from? |
| I still don't know what that means. |
| But maybe it's the other way round, and he's the reason why Macross anime are so few and far between. |
Ckan said: But maybe it's the other way round, and he's the reason why Macross anime are so few and far between. If you're lamenting the lack of Macross, there's supposed to be a new one coming out... eventually. Meanwhile I still can't get over the artstyle to actually finish Frontier. |
| Oh, I don't think you mentioned - how'd you like Plus in the end? |
Ckan said: Oh, I don't think you mentioned - how'd you like Plus in the end? I posted my thoughts on it in the other thread >.> And you even replied to it. Anyway I gave it an 8. It was bitchin' trippy at times, and the story resolution was a bitch cheap, but I find it amusing that something that old had CGI that's still better than 99% of what they make today. |
| You did, but I don't think you said whether you lubbed it or not. |
| Well, I'll go with a yes since it was enjoyable if only for the visuals. |
| OH MY GOD YAS PUT SOLDIERS OF SORROW INTO ORIGIN. |

Ckan said: That spooky moment when Yasuhiko draws Lalah doing a shaft head-tilt. fst said: Which one?so, the latest episode of DBZ abridged totally used an oldschool Gundam sound effect. That gatling gun sound effect that plays whenever another mecha got destroyed (in 0079) or when something got hit/kicked really hard (Unicorn) I still don't understand why they used that sound effect the way they did. They used it all the time in 0079 and I was always like "who's shooting!?" but nobody was. |
| Anyone played the Muv-Luv VNs (Just the main entries: Extra/Unlimited/Alternative)? The mecha design is nice, but the girls and dating aspect turn me off. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
QuattroVaginas said: Anyone played the Muv-Luv VNs (Just the main entries: Extra/Unlimited/Alternative)? The mecha design is nice, but the girls and dating aspect turn me off. I have played them all. Extra is horrible torture not going to lie, Unlimited is slightly more interesting since it has actual mecha in it. Alternative is pretty bomb though, some really good war drama and mecha warfare in it. It's questionable whether it's worth it since you would have to play Extra and Unlimited both before Alternative because it's a trilogy. But if you feel like wasting 10 hours on terrible dating sims and another 10 hours on mediocre mecha harem before finally playing something worthwhile (And it really is very worthwhile, at least for a visual novel), then you can't go wrong. There's a reason Alternative is ranked like #1 on VNDB Plus, Alternative has an amazing opening by JAM project: |

| That's pretty much what I gathered. Maybe I'll just find a summary or some shit for Extra and Unlimited. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
QuattroVaginas said: Maybe I'll just find a summary or some shit for Extra and Unlimited. I'm not sure if I would recommend that tbh. As bad as I thought Extra and Unlimited were, they still introduce the characters of Alternative, and Alternative uses the earlier "happy" memories of the dating sim life as an emotional device later on to Alternative. I fear some of the most emotional moments of Alternative lack some of the impact without having suffered through the extremely mellow Extra, and somewhat darker but still generally happy Unlimited. I disliked both of the prequels a lot, but they do still work as a major nostalgic- and plotdevice later on in Alternative, even surprisingly well. |

| Old news, but Gundam AGE finally got into SRW. BX's cast list: Really surprising to see Galient and Gorg. |

| Who even watched AGE |
| I finally started Zeta Gundam, I even had to read a summary for 0079 because the movie recaps were so unmemorable for me. A fine start, I'm hoping for more explosions and and more angsty moments like: "You said I have a woman's name? What an unforgivable insult!" |
