Now those are the BEST mecha designs I've ever seen

Shioxus | Mar 27, 2015 1:19 AM

Why the hell does this guy have so many favorites!? Is it for the Ero Ero Hentaiiii!?

No really though.

Hopefully none of those favorites are for his director abilities. Unless you like sub par throwback mech anime or hentai.

Angel Blade

Largo93 | Jan 30, 2015 10:07 PM

Respect. Coolest, unrivaled style until now. 80s/90s as fuck.

Obari as fuck.
