What do you think of super robots?

They inspired hope in young boys everywhere, but now that we have entered the dark age of the waifu, the only thing anime inspires is cum.

You fool!
Capeshit has reached it’s saturation point and is on it’s way out.
The glorious age of Toku, Kaiju, and Mecha awaits!

Something that is not a Gundam, actually much bigger than that.

The best. When it comes to the engineering I'm a real robot guy, but growing up with super robot marked me forever.

I was genuinely hoping that Pacific Rim would usher in more mainstream mecha/kaiju movies, but that sequel shit the bed hard and ruined it

Robots that typically don't follow rules of normal physics and engineering (e.g. Getter Robo) are known as 'Super Robots' while series like Gundam/Macross that try to err on the side of realism more are known as 'Real Robots'

A gigantic piloted machine in bipedal shape, but with special powers that other gigantic piloted machines might not have.
For example, the super robots in the pictures of OP have special powers like rust rays, boomerang killslicer projectiles, and nearly infinite energy sources.
In generally, the super robot genre is Japan's super hero fiction, where a person pilots a mighty battle machine to fight an evil antagonistic force that cannot be defeated by the conventional local security forces.

This is contrasted with "real robot", where the protagonist's war machine, albeit still superior to other types, is considerably weaker, is part of a larger attack force, and there's more reliance on logistics and supply on both sides of the conflict.

I dropped Voltes V, after it started off pretty well it's just super dry

>have an -oomer filter
>this post got filtered because of boomerang

A giant robot that mostly observes the tropes of superhero comics rather than the tropes of military sci-fi.

I dig 'em

The first half of Combattler V is superior. Just drop it after Garuda dies, the show takes a nosedive after that.

I watched Dai Apollon and Goshogun during the lockdown.

>getterfags constantly whinge about how much better it is than TTGL
>have read the whole series 3 times and still struggle to remember any super noteworthy moments like good fight scenes or anything thought provoking
>all of the animated stuff is a mess
>series put on hold indefinitely because mangaka died, eternally in the shadow of mazinger and gundam
Even as a getterfag myself I think they need to shut the fuck up. The series lost its chance to become one of the greats when Arc didn't get to finish. Getter rays aren't close to as fleshed out as a concept as they make it out to be either.

The main concept of Getter Robo is having three pilots and being able to take different forms to cope with different situations.
The manga often miss that point.

The only bit I remember from the Getter manga was when Getter Robo had a minigun that fired missiles

Real > Super

>he thinks Gasaraki is realistic

>not remembering the ending of Go
>not remembering Getter Emperor

Go to /wsr/
Oh come now, Dangle was a funny villain.

I really didn't get most of the manga. Getter was a powerful god because of Getter Rays and also the dinosaur people are fucking humans up and cloning them or something
And what happened to that half human half dinosaur guy, I thought he was gonna overthrow the dinosaur empire

Then do you have a better term for it?

Why no more mecha anime?

The Getter Robo revivals have been fun over the years. A lot of people are probably stuck on the neutered english versions like Voltron while never watching the badass uncut depictions like Go-Lion.

>no more
>granbelm, franxx, SSSS, probably more released just recently

Zoids Wild Zero is still airing.

K
Why no more good mecha anime?

>download golion because I heard the OP
>the very first episode has slaves, immense blood, cannibalism, an entire prison planet
GoLion absolutely doesn't fuck around
There it is, every time someone counteracts your underage ass you go "hurr those shows are shit lol"

It's a giant robot version of Flash Gordon.

I prefer super robots like Big O and Giant Robo.
Big, slow, but every punch they throw is significant.

Do you really think all of those which you mentioned stand a chance when compared to Mazinger, Eva, TTGL or Getter?

Oh my mistake, you just started your mecha journey really recently and are very impressed. It's ok, we all were when we started, but the more you watch and learn the less impressive the ones you mentioned will be

How do you feel about Godmars?

Fuck yeah, robots.

/m/ says it's garbage, but Discotek licensed it. Discotek also licensed Baldios, which is a masterpiece so I'm not sure

Excuse me?

What happened that so much stuff suddenly gets licensed again?
Twenty years ago companies released all sorts of random stuff because it was cheap to license but after that it dried up and slow fansubs were the only option for the rest. But now companies are releasing 80s, 70s and even 60s anime again.

It's not hard to be getter than TTGL.

Well you see unlike other mecha TTGL was about the characters
:^)

About a quarter of those aren't mecha But are machine centric sci-fi, so I reserve the right to talk about them on /m/ I wanna the Twintails or whatever is certainly not mecha, it's gay gender bender crap.
>inb4 synphogear
It has the soul of a super robot show wearing the skin of a magical girl show.

Is new Zoids any decent? Was watching Chaotic Century the other day and remembered how much I liked some of the designs (Shadow Wolf is the shit)

Here's your next mecha series.
Don't ever think of being able to talk about it here though.

Looks cool, why wouldn't we be able to talk about it on Yas Forums?

They are mecha, mecha has a completely different meaning in Japan. In Japan all machine-centric sci-fi is considered mecha.
Giant robots to the Japanese is just one subgenre or facet of mecha.

the problem, of course, being that the only character anyone gives a damn about dies eight episodes in

It's a genre for little boys and old manchildren, but its fans tend to be harmless and keep to themselves, sort of like train autists, so I don't have anything against them. Sometimes it can even be fun listening to them sperging out about their hobby and their inside jokes.

The culmination of a man's soul

Based, I have plans to build what some would call a Jr Mech (actual ones are too impractical to ever build in real life)

Who the fuck even cared go

Until you get an anime that combines both.

I remember those things. The latter of which didn't have close to as much presence as it could have had.

There it is. There he goes he again.
