Don't worry, Prison School s2 will come to us
You probably shouldn't be too sure about that. I mean the guy has been jobless for a while, maybe they'll throw him a bone.

I forgot that Deadwood was a thing as well.

I know he did other really good things with/without Umakoshi but color me surprised that he directed Yumekui Merry, lol.
I hope either Idea Factory or Aksys localizes this so I can romance Jyushimatsu. It's a pipe dream, unfortunately.
The cool looking cape is the only reason I want to build the MG Exia Ignition Mode model, though.

Know what genre is REALLY dead?
Real Time Strategy.
I refuse to acknowledge Legacy of the Void.

Maybe it's been awhile but I remember the actual Big O mech to be rather superfluous.

I'm just going to reiterate again that you should watch Fafner, which finished just last season.

Trust me, I've seen people say both those things to me. That's no delusion.
It might be easier to swallow if you'd actually watched more shows. Checking your malgraph for a mal account last updated in October, we have:
Pretty sure you've watched stuff like GBF Try, Diebuster and Shin Getter vs Neo Getter Robo but there's still substantial gaps you could spend time filling rather than doing this awkward "woe is me" thing about shows you probably won't watch anyhow. I mean you took the L on Comet Lucifer but the argument above basically boiled down to being irritated about bad shows being bad. You'd probably actually have fun with the genre again if you'd stop parroting opinions picked up on twitter and watched the damn shows. I know this comes across as a big call out but it isn't. Just at a glance there's stuff like
- The Big O
- Dangaioh
- Escaflowne
- Turn-A Gundam
- Zeta Gundam
- Galactic Cyclone Braiger
- Layzner
- VOTOMS
- Mellowlink
- Mazinger Z
- Zambot-3
- Daitarn-3
- New Getter Robo
- Patlabor
- Macross
just to name a few. That's like 500+ episodes worth of content along with associated movies. I mean it's cool and all to be upset about current production but to claim to be a fan of the genre and latching onto shows on the off-chance they might be good is terribly unproductive when you could check out proven quantities while increasing your genre literacy. You're hyped for a J9 continuation because of some robot key art. Take some time to learn about why J9 was a thing. It just rubs me the wrong way because I think better of you than this and it's irritating to see you take this disingenuous approach to the death of mecha when you haven't even begun to celebrate when it was alive.
You're 100% right on this. I'm fully aware that I do need to take time and watch more of the good stuff. And I definitely will.
It won't stop me from being depressed about the current state of the genre though. If anything, really celebrating when the genre was alive might end up making me more sad about it.
But, in all cases, you're right. Sorry for the rant.

Hopefully s2 or s3 comes whatever season the game releases in.
Also Ichimatsu route and idol designs in the game please
2016 aside, it has definitely gone down in popularity so it's not that reaching that people would believe it.

Yeah, I can see that. I thought most of the Megadeus stuff was contrived and didn't really fit much with the show anyway as a Batman-like thing.
Roguelikes and management sims are doing pretty well...
Well, Raidou is the baddest mother fucker of all time.
The situation is what it is. We're not exactly getting a large number of cyberpunk anime either.
Go watch Patlabor and Big O. It'll make you feel better.
Does a show really need a justification to include stylish art deco mechanical golems?
And it still doesn't mean people shouldn't watch Big O.
Even Armored Trooper Votoms would work without any robots.
Raido is one of those overrated niche games. The actual audience for the games is small no doubt, but even among that audience I find the praise overstated. The first game was unplayable dogshit. I picked up the second game after tons of people told me it was so much better. It was still shit. Just less shit. The only good thing I got out of it was the Raiho plushie.

A show needs no justification to invent the line "Cast in the name of God, ye not guilty"
Yeah I guess most shows with huge robots can work without huge robots but I wasn't really feeling it in Big O.
Wow this is the worst not Persona related SMT opinion I've seen ):

Totally on board with this show and its world.

FLCL originally wasn't going to have a robot, but Tsurumaki kept throwing robots in because he wanted to until everyone else finally gave in.

I need to finish Penguindrum so I can begin chipping away at Initial-D. But I don't want to rush.

Awww I was hoping that Bubuki Buranki was going to be more of a RWBY show with cool weapons, kids wearing edgy clothes for no reason and cool combat sequences but it turned out to be a mecha anime : ( I've never liked anything related to mechas.
The show also gives me that Kill la Kill vibe with the generals, red themed powers and the female villian

and by that notion I find kind of easy to guess that Reoko-sama is Kaoruko, they mention she has the body of a 16 years old girl which is exactly the twins age. I dunno if I should spoiler it but better safe than sorry.

Garo the Animation 12
Now this is how you do a mid-show climax. I don't even know where the series is going to go from here. They've blown the lid off of much of what the narrative was working towards up to now, even more than I was anticipating, so what the back half is going to be is truly a mystery to me.

What is it called when people use coats as capes? Oddly partial to them now after going through Devil Survivor 2.

Well you see...
Actually no fuck that. Capes on small robots are fine.
This is fine.
Capes on robots bigger than that, that were designed to fight in a variety of areas and climates is dumb as hell. The only reason people wear capes is either 1. look cool or 2. protect themselves from the environment. Since mechs don't have to worry about two, it can only be one. And those people concerned about looking cool would be the first people to die, or worse get somebody else killed. (And looking cool is fine in some cases, not in war.)
All the pilots of those "cool" examples posted so far would be screwed if their head got taken out. They would have no visibility. Are they gonna pilot with a sixth sense or something?
I'm drawing a hard line stance here boys.
Okay, I think you've convinced me to finish the rest of Garo which I didn't watch. I can't even remember where I stopped before I started watching random select eps. Will have to check tonight. Do you remember which episode was the one where the main guy and the prince joined forces to defeat this mutated count monster in a valley which was like.... I think this huge spinning bunch of spikes or something? It was a daytime fight.

There is your western + a bit of yuri action is good for the soul.
You pretty much stopped when it got super good.

That was episode 9.
By the way, I have to say that by this point I'm really liking how the CG is used. The texture and shading on the armor is great.
I know, I didn't really stop intentionally though. Sometimes you get distracted from a show and other stuff pile up and it's hard to get back. Same thing happened with Death Parade. I'm working on my backlog now!
Cool. I think I still remember most of the details of what the show is about so I should be able to pick up from ep10. Basically the prince found out about the poisoning and escaped right? And he's training under some old dude? And the main guy and his dad split up and had hilarious (badly animated) comedy adventures or something. That's what I recall from the point I stopped. It felt like a bit of fun and games and self-evaluation before something BIG was going to happen.

Shirayuki-hime S2 ep.1
I was almost expecting another kidnapping to sat the seadon, but what a cute and comfy date episode to start off season 2. We also got a little bit of background info on Kiki and co. Maybe a little side shipping later in the season between those two? They could make it work. Anyway, it was a cute way to start, and I'm looking forward to more.

What if I told you the Maganac Corps did protect against the elements?

Sounds like Early Reins and the first few minutes of the third Ginrei OVA remain anime's only true Westerns.

Yeah, that's the right spot. Episodes 7 and 8 covered the same time frame from Leon's and German's perspective, and it was pretty cool, even if 7 was a bit clunky. Episode 9 into 10 is where things gear up for the midpoint climax.

Valkyrie Drive has a cowgirl in it so I choose to believe that counts.
I recall one of those episodes, either 7 or 8, being one of the worst looking episodes of the show that I had seen. It was so hilariously bad, but still... entertaining. Lol.

Samurai series are pretty much the Japan equivalent of Westerns and vice versa. They've been drawing heavily from each other for decades.

Episode 8 is where I lost interest and dropped it. I don't know, maybe I should pick it up again one day.
