WD-M01 Turn A Gundam: The other mecha looks incredibly lame and stupid

Black Getter: Only cause Giant Robo looks stupid

Gurren Mk. II: Doesn't look like generic Gundam design #506 so Code Geass wins this one

RX-78-GP03 Dendrobium: This was a no brainer, the other choice doesn't even look like a mecha

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam: I like those red lights flashing from it

Gao Gai Gar: They both suck but I went with the one that isn't a CG abomination.

Escaflowne: Easy choice

NZ-666 Kshatriya: Another easy choice

I don't see how this is a competition when most of the time one choice is too ugly.

Either Sunrise has got some less-than-stellar people working on Natsuiro Kiseki or the staff is full of bitter people that aren't too fond of Sphere.

It's not the first or the last show this season that has made some incredible derpface artwork. However something about it just doesn't resonate with animeGAF like Sengoku Collection and AKB0048 seem to. It just hasn't aspired to the lofty levels of absolute glorious awful that the other two have thus far reached. It's the third wheel shit tier show.

If I had photoshop skills, I was going to shop Kirino's hair on my avatar.

This should happen. I don't know why it should but it should.

 

[Crash Station]

Different strokes for different folks. I've read various manga chapters both pre- and post-"genre shift"/Kumagawa/whatever people like it for, and found them all equally boring.

Reading random chapters is not a good idea for anything that isn't episodic. Of course you're gonna find them boring with no context.

But it was all CG

It was? I thought there was a movie that wasn't. What am I thinking of?

If you are referring to that new movie, its actually a mix of CG models with real hand drawn animation, and IMO it really doesn't work very well. Its very jarring.

 

[Crash Station]

Well, those are all legitimately good reasons to get excited. I will add it to my list!

:/

 

[cajunator]

When you finish Gyo and find that you're out of any other happy show to watch after that, you might take that back.

WAT. I don't think this is possible.
There are a lot of such shows. Like hundreds of them.
So much squee.

I think some people might (rightly) not be familiar with some of the mecha on display in that round. From Gundam 0083 we have the RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium".

Now, if you've seen any recent Gundam show like 00 you might have become acustomed to the main heroes mecha having what amounts to an insane arsenal of weapons, equipment and technology in a single unit. Gundam 0083 asked the question - what would it look like if one Gundam actually had to carry all that equipment around and it didn't all magically fold back into hammer space? It turned out like this:

Which I actually respect.

See, now that's pretty goddamned awesome. If all Gundam's were that insane I'd probably like it more.

This good enough?

 

[dimb]

It took you until now to notice? I was creeped out by young Fujiko since the full ED was shown in episode 2. I don't really like her design.

I can be pretty dismissive of certain stuff. When I first saw the ED I mostly just thought, "bad art, it barely even looks like Fujiko", and went on my way.

 

[DrForester]

I really need to watch more anime. This semester at school killed me.

 

[Brazil]

This good enough?

That poor dog.

 

[SDBurton]

This good enough?

Looks like Chie.

Spoiler

> Yukiko for life.

 

[Dresden]

I remember when Kirino was a good character who liked kendo.

 

[dimb]

Yeah, some of these simulcast announcements were late, because of the con season, so they get missed out on. Fan death is a myth after all...

Funimation was getting free PR time on a really boring ANNcast and they made it sound like late simulcast announcements was just how they do things, and that Crunchyroll was an anomaly. They also seemed to make it sound like people don't really care that they're a few weeks behind, because users just happen to show up on their site and are surprised to even find the series exists.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Yukiko is the choice for boring people.

 

[cajunator]

This good enough?

YES! I don't care if I hate her. Thats glorious!

I really need to watch more anime. This semester at school killed me.

Sorry to hear that. You really should. I haven't enjoyed another hobby as much as anime ever. It has brought true joy to my life.

Chiebros before Yukihoes.

Fuck, that model must cost at least a thousand dollars. Impressive stuff. I (symbolically) retract my vote for whoever it was that this was up against.

Moejita deserves a better character to cosplay as, regardless of personal request!

Ah yes, because we all knot that anime fans are incredibly patient. Well, I guess they were, at one point, but in the age of the internet patience exists in extremely small quantities.

Mysterious Fox > Teddie > Chie > Rise > Devil Nurse > Margaret > Milf > Ai > Naoto > Drama Girl > Grandma > Yukiko > Music Girl

 

[Solune]

The place was actually really cool. I went on the last day they had the F/Z stuff up

Spoiler

Christmas Day

and had dinner there.

Had the best tofu of my life there.

I initially just wanted to protect it but later accepted that my role was to eat it.

Spoiler

So it tasted quite good.

Sick Tofu, Sick Displays, Sick Cake, Sick EVERYTHING

Haters gonna hate on dat class.

This is when I barge in and confess my love for Rise.

Hagure Yūsha no Estetica 2nd Promo

I think it has nice potential for action, but that glowy censor and so many exposed bewbies. Maybe I'll stay for episode one, decent song.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Mysterious Fox > Teddie > Chie > Rise > Devil Nurse > Margaret > Milf > Ai > Naoto > Drama Girl > Grandma > Yukiko > Music Girl

This list lacks Nanako.

 

[madp]

This list lacks Nanako.

Uhh, I'm not totally sure that this is a "best character" list and not "would have sex with" list. You miiiiiiiight want to wait for Regulus to clarify before even mentioning Nanako.

Haters gonna hate on dat class.

No disputing that Yukiko is in a class of worthlessness all by herself.

Gurren Lagann 1-5
Quote:
Shit is sooo craaaaaayyyy.

And I'm not even a fan of mecha.

I think you'll notice that there's a pretty high proportion of non-mecha fans who have watched and enjoyed Gurren Lagann. This always seems to irk 'serious' (read:crazy) mecha fans on /m/ (and other places) who go on to list (at length) works which they consider to be as good or considerably better than Gurren Lagann. Which just goes to show that they really don't understand the appeal of the show and why it captures people's imaginations far more than something like GaoGaiGar.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Oh, I thought it was simply a "best character" list as it had "Mysterious Fox", but then again, I don't know Regulus...

It's probably a best character list seeing as he put the fox and the grandma there . . . waitaminute

Not that there is anything wrong with this.

I fully approve of foxmance.

 

[Infinite Justice]

It doesn't matter if it's Dragoon or Jexhius or Ultimadrago. It's not about the individuals - it's about what they symbolize. Someone needs to take on the mask of Zero to give the people of this world hope.

So Cajunator might have a Zero Requiem plan then?

Ookami-kun just hates it because it's not Mazinger.

I have been a surprisingly patient penguin. Between waiting for volume by volume DVD releases back in the 00's and now waiting for my favorite shows to come out on disc as well it really takes some real patience. For example I want Fate Zero boxset 2 now in the worst way.

This is when I barge in and confess my love for Rise.

Pics of her are encouraged.
Show your love!

 

[SDBurton]

No disputing that Yukiko is in a class of awesomeness all by herself.

Fixed.

Dojima is watching you, you shady perp.

....also since when did Crunchyroll start adding lyrics to the opening and endings?!

I don't really know but now that they have done I am reminded how much I dislike their presence and feel that they are entirely unnecessary. Get that crap off my screen

For me, a casual mecha fan, Gurren Lagann was just plain fun. It wasn't serious or trying to be something it wasn't. It was just straight up batshit insanity with mechs. GaoGaiGar is a lot of fun too. Its pretty silly sometimes. I liked what I saw of it.
DIVIDING DRIVERRRRR!!!!!

there is a certain allure to DEM EARS.

He should stop worrying about AnimeGAF and worry about for

Persona 4/Persona 4: Animation spoilers

the haunting ghost of his dead wife.

Dude. Duuude.

Wasn't aware you were so into foxes. This thread is a great learning experience.

But perhaps they should!
Think of the possibilities!

Indeed, and this is why, you always leave a note!

Karaoke effects plus the lyrics in three different languages set on three sides of the screen.
