Any win short of flawless victory in a sanctioned event is going to require replacing some parts and a loss will either require heavy work to get functional again or rebuilding your model mostly from scratch. This may not be a rich mans sport but it has the potential to burn a hole in your wallet real fast.

Badass entries/unveilings

The moment of truth where a new mech is unveiled for the first time in a show/game can only end one of two ways; badass as fuck, or a horrible flop.

ITT is badass entries.

>The only arguments against Lupadim's point in this thread are founded in ad hominem, hilarious.

>Mecha fans will go back to their low brow schlock and continue to live in the past. There is no sense in showing them that the present has better things in store for those with the awareness and good sense to look at the bigger picture because you can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think.

>There's nothing to fall for, people are just failing to defend any positive stance they have on mecha. Even those who have tried to defend it neglect the state of it in the 21st century, mentioning only pre-millennium artifacts that everyone has already known about.

>No he doesn't, he's seen enough to know the broad appeal of the genre is weak.

Listing the appeal of specific mecha shows like Gasaraki or Ideon is irrelevant considering there are near thousands of other mecha shows that do not have that appeal, thus it is not the appeal of mecha but the appeal of a show you like.

To be fair I did not really enjoy Gunbuster too much, yeah the characterization was good, and the plot was written well, but there just wasn't enough actual mecha in it for me to really enjoy it. Like shit, you have one of the best designed mecha I've ever seen and you see it only a few times.

And I really fucking hated the fact that the fight in the final episode was done by still images.

I see why it's good, it just didn't hit the right spot with me.

Gunbuster is possibly my favorite anime. Either that or second place to Wings of Honneamise.

Diebuster is pretty mediocre and a bit of a mess at times, but it really has its moments.

Also, TTGL isn't so much a successor to Gunbuster as it is Getter Robo and Captain Harlock thrown in a blender.

>>13601 already made that point for me: MAL is pretty cancerous and sadly a common carrier for Animu dick measuring . Every decent /a/ either forbids linking your MAL or it is frowned upon for a reason. The very first tidbit I got when I started to make my MAL is avoid the discussions like a fucking plague. Another problem is vote inflation, because people give 8s to their favorites and save 10 for the perfect animu; Something that doesn't fucking exist. Neither Ghibli nor Mushi nor Sunrise nor TOEI or any other studio could put put something perfect. Like in all movies and TV series, corners will be cut in anime.

>>13716

I can't take Gunbuster that serious, because it is a parody of sports anime in general and by the same people who brought the world Otaku no Video. When it comes to production quality though, no OVA I know of can beat that. Gunbuster is the best one in hat department.

Any anons remember this game? You basically had a quad legged mech that could fly for brief periods of time and were a small part of a larger battlefield. Kind of honestly like playing Supreme Commander as a Tier 3+ ground unit in the first person.
