| “Over your fear of the dark now?” .... *scurries her ass back over to Kanamori’s side* LOOOOL I fkn love Asakusa ! |
| On this episode of Eizouken...from the perspectives of the eccentric trio, we explore the depths of Mecha anime and how the industry hasn't been kind to the genre (basically having less). Starting off with the Robot Club showcasing their robot prototype works with the trio, after the amazing feat that was last episode which gave the 3-girl club their first break. As usual, with anime development, locations are the first to scour, and immediately scaredy cat Asakusa gives out on the dark nature against the pragmatic Kanamori and enthusiastic Mizusaki. herrickluk said: That short scene was just funnily magnificent!“Over your fear of the dark now?” .... *scurries her ass back over to Kanamori’s side* LOOOOL I fkn love Asakusa ! The power of imagination still plays a massive part in bringing ideas of fantasy realism, and still is super addicting to watch. However, as T&Cs go, they'd treat it like one regardless of collaborations or what-have-yous if the dreams and ambitions don't align. Screw all that with a censored middle finger from the president himself (probably against people in the industry). Emotions don't just run the show, and in this case, they did, wanting to make their dreams come true. However, what comes out of endless imagination is hard to animate...so what will be the compromise? Exhilarating episode and this series only just keeps getting better and better. |

| pretty fun episode. cool to see that they're already making money from their anime production. the episodes pacing near the start was a bit wack, but it really started to shine when they got into designing the robot. overall, another interesting episode from Eizouken! |
 |
| "There's less mecha anime coming out" Ooow man that hurt really bad Giant robots will never stop being cool though! |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| Finally heard the OP that everyone was earlier talking up.... 1st thought "Why does this sound so much like the opening to GANTZ!?" |
| So now they are doing a mecha anime shot for the robot club. That was nice because this has been a fun episode so far. |

syncrogazer said: Looks like they're a proper 'anime studio' now, getting paid and all. Kinda hoping this will be their project for the rest of the show. And i hope they wrap this project up quickly and move on to something different :P Mecha lost it's charm to me long ago. Although this episode was nice, i prefer some other subject. P.S. Form! Feet! And! Legs! Form! Arms! And! Torso! And I'll form ... The HEAD! |

| The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that focusing on mecha is just a stroke of genius: It allows the show to comment on the current state of anime, puts in it touch with historic anime, and it showcases both Asakusa's desire to geek out on the technical details AND Mizusaki's desire to animate realistic "humanoid" movement. |
| Set SCE to AUX |
Why no one has posted this yet? :D |

| They will make gundam anime! XD Asakusa's bag is like Doraemon's pocket XD |

mozgow said: Why no one has posted this yet? :D I laughed my head off during this scene. At least the stuff in the bag was useful but still carrying a collapsible shovel was pretty hard-core. As a mecha fan, this episode touched me on a spiritual level ;-) The whole commentary on real robot/super robot and how we all dream of piloting our own mecha (though not necessarily on the toilet). Best line in the show has to be Mizusaki's " I do a hadoken every night before I sleep" |
Nope, only Labor. The patrolling police Labors are the Patlabors. |
| I really liked the monster design and the underground adventure, as well as the way the robotics club collaborated with the girls designing the robot, buuuut the robot itself... i really didn't like the design. It looks too much like a toy and i'm not a fan of the way they slapped the weaponry on to it. I'd have either gone the Armored core route and mount some of them on the shoulders/back or since they're all basically tools give the robot a swiss knife style arm so they can be swapped around instead of having all of them out at all times cluttering the design. This way it would also make the animation easier, you could have even more weapons hidden which would result in hype moments each time the arm transforms into a new weapon and you know how awesome transforming robots are. |
| I was kinda bored with this episode ngl |
 |
I am referring to the anime because it is about blue collar mecha you will note that is why 'Patlabor' is in italics |
syncrogazer said: Nah, it's just a short project for the upcoming cultural festival.Kinda hoping this will be their project for the rest of the show. |
| Yes, one of my favorite anime genres isn't getting much love lately, and that's really sad. I even feel like learning to draw and making something out. Hopefully this mini arc is inspirational for enthusiasts and creators. The whole deal with fiction vs reality vs practicability of mechas was really good. This show is great at criticizing its own medium. |
glassknuckles said: I am referring to the anime because it is about blue collar mecha you will note that is why 'Patlabor' is in italics I know what do you mean but literally the blue collar mechs there are called Labors. The anime concept in the episode is about blue collar mech fighting a monster is different from the concept of the Patlabor anime...despite the third movie being laterally that...but still the police mechs doing the job. You see, the Patlabor is a mech dedicated for police purposes and the eponymous franchise is about mainly them, not killing alien invaders with a forklift or something. |
| Trying the Hadoken before she sleeps? Bless her... <3 First sequence might be a reference to 20th Century Boys, not sure tho. |

Your need to get pedantic with me over a joke is not very charming. You must be real fun at parties. Patlabor has: blue collar mecha. It has: kaiju, in episode 3 of the OVA, and episode 19 of the TV series, which you must have forgotten. So it has two elements I've just seen in Hands Off. You're saying the civilian mecha don't do anything, and kaiju are not the focus, and I say to you so what? Obviously they are not exactly the same, I'm communicating that this line of dialogue reminded me of Patlabor the anime because of the shared elements. |

What parties? glassknuckles said: It has: kaiju, in episode 3 of the OVA, and episode 19 of the TV series, which you must have forgotten. I just thought that I don't need to list them all. For example the one in the OVA was more of a kauju parody and they don't overcome the monster. The third movie was closer to the current situation because definitely Patlabors are not designed to fight monsters.   glassknuckles said: You're saying the civilian mecha don't do anything They do a lot of stuff...just don't hunt for monsters. glassknuckles said: kaiju are not the focus Sometimes they are. glassknuckles said: I'm communicating that this line of dialogue reminded me of Patlabor the anime because of the shared elements. Yeah, as your way of communication was smokes signals the message was a but smeared by the wind. More like to some classic robot anime...there was something similar in Heroman so I assume they are all (including 20th Century Boys) referencing way older title like Tetsuwan Atom or Tetsujin 28-gou. |
alshuFeb 4, 2020 3:45 PM
QED I've already told you what reminds me of Patlabor, and you ignored it. For reference, it's because Patlabor is the only mecha anime I know of with blue collar mecha. I'm not going to argue the validity of this with you, because I don't give a shit. Obviously, you have made it clear you object to this comparison, so why don't you find someone else's post to nitpick? |

Probably, it was more because of the comment saying ''this isn't giant robot sci-fi but more robot crime''. In 20th Century Boys existence of robots isn't known and there's a plot with a mysterious cult, kidnappers, brainwashers, etc. Whole thing of course can generally just be to all classic robot anime. Not that I've seen any. |

| definitely fun episode I like how kanamori always bribes everybody lmao |
Hillary_Clinton_ said: It doesn't really feel like this is going anywhere for being 5 eps into a 13 episode show. Entry-level industry commentary aimed at midwits who see themselves as "insiders," cloying imagination dream sequence, rinse and repeat. I hope this turns out to be a little more than just the Reddit "artsy" show of the season. 5 eps in they've formed the club made there the first project and have been commissioned for another project. I'm not sure what more progress you expect them to make. Being about amateurs making anime, it would be difficult to express every part of the professional process. It is, however, an excellent exploration of the nature of the creative process as I have experienced it and communicates what's appealing about making and consuming media while also being a great piece of media to consume. |

glassknuckles said: and you ignored it I said "I know what do you mean" thus you are ignoring my notion that I am not ignoring your idea, just giving it a proper name. glassknuckles said: I'm not going to argue the validity of this with you, because I don't give a shit. - If you don't, stop replaying than... - I still think you are not getting my first notice. glassknuckles said: so why don't you find someone else's post to nitpick? But I don't nitpick on random themes just for the sake of it... |
| The Anti-Poltergeist Kit, her fear of dark places, her crying due to her failed dreams of travelling around space. Man, Midori was so fucking adorable in this episode xD Back on topic, I honestly expected the mecha topic to be eventually address but I wasn't expecting it to be this detailed. Overall, it was another nice episode but now I wonder if the idea of making the mechas in CGI will be address as well. |
| Not sure if the translation is bad for this episode or I just didn't get what they are talking about. Or both. That aside, good episode. Really enjoys their discussion with robot club. |
| I already love this show so much. Great Episode! |
| Can Asakusa-shi explain one of the unsolved mysteries in science/physics which is: "SONOLUMINESCENCE" what i'm trying to say is how the emission of light is formed/produced when a bubble is made to collapse using sound waves? 5/5. |

| Salt in the wound of all mecha fans. mozgow said: Why no one has posted this yet? :D Every episode has just too many moments that range from funny to awesome that it would be bothersome to comment on all of them xD |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Uh, the robot club is working with the girls. I like how they addressed the mecha topic in this episode. 4/5 |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| They went all out with their ideas. RIP Mecha fans. |
 |
| 5/5 Episode I look forward to seeing how this robot will turn out when they finish because it's bound to change. |
| That robot ended up looking cool. I'm looking forward to see how they'll animate that. |
 |
| Kanamori, Sayaka is my new favorite character......... |
“You can always die. It's living that takes real courage." - Himura Kenshin” . |
| Not as fun as the previous episodes. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| Get short animatiom request. |
| I Guess it's handy to be paranoïd sometimes. Lmao mizusaki trying to do a hadoken every night The robot was a bit weird looking at the end but let's see how it would look animated. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Such a good anime in each episode, and we do need more mecha anime!! |
| Robot club was faced with a grimm reality...never mess with Eizouken..they will crush all realistic dreams about robots... Bit disappointend, really expected a TTGL reference at the drill part |
 |
| Episode 4 was the strongest of the series by far, so I finally felt like this show was getting some good momentum but it was pretty quickly halted as this Episode 5, was the weakest one for me. Nothing was necessarily bad about it, but the intro sequence with Midori being scared of the Robot society like it's a horror movie was not really that scary, nor funny, and went way too long. Just a normal introduction would've been a lot better than this in my opinion. Plus the actual episode itself wasn't too interesting and I didn't care much for the Robot society and their desires to make an anime with the Video Society (mainly since I don't care much for robot anime myself anymore). However, I did like how they were discussing through the designs of the robot though with trying to focus on a lot of details, trying to also maintain the balance of fiction and reality at the same time with the robot and its purpose of being there in the world itself. A bit of a slow episode as a whole with some stuff I found to be boring, but there is enough decent stuff in it to make me not lose interest in this arc completely. |
| Nice episode, they get their first real project as a recognized club! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Ono was played by Yuuki Ono,funny Surprised at the absence of Gundam references, actually. Unless we treat the placement of the cockpit as a "reference", with the subsequent movement to the top as a nod to Eva. Though I don't know too much about robots and these ideas were probably in many other places too. |
