i've been working on a book for about three, maybe four years now? i fuck with 80's real robot shit, im not great at drawing, but here's a design which i made late last year. went for something of a patlabor/gundam lovechild.

Not really original OC, but here are some custom models I edited together for Gihrens Greed Menace of Axis V.

>>5601 ayyy i didn't know people modded this game beyond the translation. that's cool.

some steam-era robot stuff would be cool i think

space and flight stuff is an obvious fit i guess, but theres sometimes also other things like buildings that fit the aesthetic or at least could work in my imagination. i wish the creators were a bit more creative/free with settings and designs sometimes.

>Real Life /m/ I always felt /m/ should have a mechatronics thread encouraging entry into the field so that the robotics industry gets flooded with /m/en trying to make mecha real.

well I guess I have to watch this

>>5465 Well it was ok. The mechanical stuff was the best part. Also had trouble not laughing after I realised it was the Manzoku bar guy man.

>>5567 The multi-track drifting had me in tears.

>>457 Not a fan of those designs. They fit Shin Getter more than OG. I just wish that it is somewhat of a success to get a faithful animated adaptation of the mangas with an actual budget.

i would watch a getter movie

>>4375 >in one episode

>>5442 You mean it keeps happening after that?

>>5472 I'm not finished but it happens now and then, but not in a >stupid retard child protag lost it yet again, this is the only possible plot point they have that gives the protags a challenge, children's show characters have the intelligence of children sort of way, I recall the next time it happens it's a bit more understandable how he might get tricked. I couldn't tell you how many times it happens after that, but I'd be forgiving of antags going after Tetsujin's sole and glaring weakness (other than like, literally killing the poor child) if the show was a bit more clever about it. Less so if he forgot it in his lunchbox or something stupid. I'm only 15 eps in out of 51 though, I really hope none of the silly things I mentioned happen

>>4122 the really insane thing is that this was not a main series for bandai. the original director dipped to work on G Gundam and left the project with no lead. we got it because the final director came on and was like "yeah no, we're making a shoujo mecha" and despite being a side project has animation THIS good.

Big O vs Big Duo

>>2751 I thought the fights in Majestic Prince were pretty stellar all round, despite being CGI. Definitely some of Orange's best. But you can also tell that, despite the space fights being as insane as you'd expect wars to be, they realised their best was the earth combat against Klein so they basically just did it again for the climax in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ek-V0xQzkwI

How do the various versions of Jet Jaguar compare to Earth Garon?

New manga.

Is picrel "plamo"?

>>5278 consult the chart and see for yourself

>>5329 So everything is plamo?

How many plan on staying or posting to both sites?

>>5120 If 00 wanted to explore new thematic territories then it shouldnt have chosen the anti-war themes that almost every Tomino Gundam has examined until now. If it wants to break away and do something original then it has to do so in a way that doesnt undermine the previous anti-war themes it was about until then, and pivoting to an alien invasion plot that is solved solely with innovator bullshit is a surefire way of making a grossly simplified portrayal of war and diplomacy. I think its generally bad when stories make light of war because its tasteless and speaks to a lack of insight on the authors part. The aliens werent even malicious or hostile, they were trying to communicate in their own way and didnt know it was killing humans, and thinking that all war and conflicts spring forth from such benign misunderstandings instead of the actual human desire to dominate, subjugate and to punish makes 00 seem insanely naive.

>>5244 >If it wants to break away and do something original then it has to do so in a way that doesnt undermine the previous anti-war themes It never did? The TV series established that human evolution is necessary to accomplish UNDERSTANDING and peace and the film is a continuation of that. >and pivoting to an alien invasion plot that is solved solely with innovator bullshit is a surefire way of making a grossly simplified portrayal of war and diplomacy 00 was never about diplomacy, what are you about? Celestial Being never negotiated - they were an organisation following a total doctrine. The world government forming (and going full authoritarian right from the start) wasn't about diplomacy in the slightest, since it was all Aeolia's KEIKAKUDOORI and brought about by Ribbons pulling the strings from behind the scene. I understand you hate Gundam and its reliance on 'Newtype bullshit', but why even single out 00 when most entries in the franchise are guilty of this? >If 00 wanted to explore new thematic territories then it shouldnt have chosen the anti-war themes that almost every Tomino Gundam has examined until now. >The aliens werent even malicious or hostile, they were trying to communicate in their own way and didnt know it was killing humans, and thinking that all war and conflicts spring forth from such benign misunderstandings instead of the actual human desire to dominate, subjugate and to punish makes 00 seem insanely naive. ??? And? The film should have explored the exact same grounds the TV series had? Why? Didn't we get enough of it in the show? Had they been sentient, hostile aliens, you would have complained about the writers just recycling the same plot 'but with aliens'. According to you, Gundam shows are not allowed to experiment or expand the scope - everything must neatly follow the initial set-up. Have we watched the same show?

>>5267 >It never did? The TV series established that human evolution is necessary to accomplish UNDERSTANDING and peace and the film is a continuation of that. You travel pretty far away from the theme of understanding when the other party isnt even human. >00 was never about diplomacy Diplomacy was a secondary theme in the TV series, as you can tell from one of the major characters related to Setsuna being a political figurehead. It was secondary because the main characters were busy being pro-terrorist and all the politicians were just a way of illustrating that Celestial Beings terrorism was better than politics but thats beside the point. You cant say 00 said nothing about internal politics and international diplomacy when several plot threads revolve around the relationship between its different nations and alliances. The movie then shifts diplomacy into its major theme. The 00 movie pretends to be about diplomacy, the final battle revolves around just opening up a channel of communication with the aliens. The entire conflict and its resolution is very transparently supposed to serve as an analogue for real world diplomacy and political negotiation between states, even if grossly simplified. >I understand you hate Gundam and its reliance on 'Newtype bullshit', but why even single out 00 when most entries in the franchise are guilty of this? No, Newtypes in Tomino Gundam are fine. Innovators are what people who hate "Newtype bullshit" think Newtypes are. I have already explained how the resolution of the 00 movie (caused by Setsunas innovator powers) and the Psychoframe miracle are thematically different things (which CCA does way better) in >>5113 >The film should have explored the exact same grounds the TV series had? No, but in trying to introduce aliens into its plot in undermines the themes it was about before by making light of war and the difficulties of diplomacy and negotiating peace between nations. It didnt need to retread the TV series but also shouldnt ruin the foundation it was built on in the first place (not that I thought the 00 TV series was that good to begin with). >According to you, Gundam shows are not allowed to experiment or expand the scope - everything must neatly follow the initial set-up. I did not assert this. My point is that war and peace are important subjects that deserve to be treated with care and attention within fiction, and making light of these themes is bad. This is what 00 does when in introduces the alien plot. It could have done this well, but it didnt. I didnt assert that it shouldnt have tried in the first place but it certainly didnt try hard enough because the result is garbage that makes it seem as though the writers have a childish view of war and peace.

It's going to be a long wait then...

I'm looking forward to it, but I think Tomino will be dead by the time the series is finished.

Is anyone still here or did everyone go back to 4/m/?

>>4891 I dont like the new Ultra design at all, I hope they put a chool mech at some point.

>>5144 i'm here and there

>>5858 ;_;

>>5854 I check from time to time, feel free to start a discussion.

>>5860 I'm really worried about Zeztz's OST but otherwise everything that has been revealed about the worldview has me excited
