This P-Bandai shit is getting so out of hand it's ridiculous. Originally it was meant for recolors, but now that there are kits that are half new molds, it literally makes no sense from a development standpoint to not release these on the wide market.

Is P-Bandai selling that well that they could recoup the costs of these steel molds with ease?

>>12598352
Thing is it's not just plates that are an expense - the plastic, the packaging, and the promotion all factor in, and if they go all the way through all that just to put kits on shelves to rot, they've spent even more money to not get much back. At least in the case of P-Bandai they have tighter control on the production run versus how many orders they have.

Though I'm curious what will happen when/if they start doing this via 3D printing. Shit could get REALLY obscure.

It had a showy debut at the end of one ep, kinda posed and some basic interaction the next. Had a kinda spare fight with Lightning where they swapped gunplas, and showed up at the finale. So longer, but not by a whole lot.

Still, it was also Meijin's suit for all of Try. The only other thing he used was Kampfer Amazing for a brief exhibition.

It's shit. Originally, it was supposed to be a series about conflicts between the North and South, with the two sides then joining forces to fight the threat from Earth. Tim Eldred, the biggest-name western VOTOMS fan, was attached to it at one point. However, the network didn't want another war series after having done Starship Troopers: Roughnecks, so we ended up with a mecha version of Wacky Races with the Northerners as Dick Dastardly who cheat in every single episode. The tabletop RPG salvaged the situation by saying that the series exists in-universe as Southern propaganda.

The TV series could have been saved if it had been more like Pokemon -- every episode, the protagonists travel to a new city, meet new characters and help solve their problems in addition to the customary encounter with their rivals. But it would have required making a lot of new assets with every episode, so this approach would probably have required too much effort for a CGI tv series.

So instead of trying to find that missing disc, I went and pulled out my HG1 copy and installed it on Windows 7.
Menu colours are all messed up in that way you get with old games, but the game itself runs fine. Except that I don't think I remember the animations being this hilariously fast?

And since we're getting old /m/ games to run, anyone got any idea how to get pic related working? (I think I tried dos box when I originally bought it, but I ain't very good... at anything)

Came in here specifically to say pretty much this. I'm at EP40 of ZZ and liking it at least as much as Zeta, and almost skipped it completely after all the shitposting I'd read here. The ZZ comedy is actually pretty fucking funny, and the characters and dialog feel much more consistent and professionally written than Z. It's absolutely not without big flaws (PURUPURUPURU!!!!) it may not be for everyone, but don't skip it without giving it a shot.

DO skip the shitty EP01 recap/clipshow episode, though.

It would have attracted more people if there was fanservice. It didn't have really any and focused mostly on the story and character growth which most shows today are scared to do.

I give her a pass TO AN EXTENT. I understand WHY she's fucked up but at the end of the day she was still responsible for making sure Shinji and later Asuka got the proper moral and adult guidance they needed. And she screwed the pooch hard.
>>
>>12598521
Goddammit you people keep focusing on boogeymen buzzwords like "Fanservice", "moe", "pandering" in lieu of an actual argument and it's getting old real quick, especially when it's in the form of blatantly incorrect blanket generalizations

Quit trying to make your special snowflake series seem like it only failed because it "dared to be different" or some such nonsense - it failed because it did not deliver anything that an audience found interesting, that's all. And that's it's own fault, no one else's.
Every show needs to offer something that will keep an audience coming back for more, and there are infinite ways of going about it. Compelling character drama, a riveting narrative, a mystery, action that satisfies, etc. Something, it doesn't matter what, that keeps people curious. And M3's issue is that it did find it's footing and delivered a compelling character drama and mystery, But it held off on them for too long and turned off the majority of potential viewers. Those that stayed got a good show out of it, but you can't blame the people who dropped it for losing interest in a borefest.

Lastly, don't be fucking ignorant. Fanservice has always been a hallmark of anime, and you're deluded to think it wasn't just a prevalent in the past as it is now. It's just wearing a new coat of paint.
>>
>>12598586

Mystery and suspense take time to build up. You can't just rush everything out the gate in one episode and expect it to have any meaning. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a slower pace. Especially when shit is actually being built up too, and actual relationships are developed and formed.

It didn't hold off on anything, because all that slow stuff at the start really came to a head in a major way in the end and the show was better for it.

You're only kidding yourself if you think people these days don't have short as fuck attention spans, and it's a shame because it really does seem like no one can pick up on any characterization that isn't a loud declaration with jpop blasting in the background

I started watching A/Z (just finished episode 5) for her . Annoyingly enough, she is a supporting chara through and through.

On the plus side, I want to fertilize Yuki-nee's eggs and Inaho's tactics to overcome the Martian Cataphracts are quite cerebral andentertaining.

He was claiming it, to throw it all away in the end.

...the biggest irony is that this show tried to be epic, but it ultimately ends up being worthless due to the writers being opposed to the use of well-established Gundam tropes. Seriously, I wouldn't have minded Slaine as MC had they let Seylum and Inaho die. At least they would've focused on him instead of building him up, then crashing him

OP here, I just finished S1 (ep 12). I don't really dislike it so far, but maybe I have an exceptionally high bullshit tolerance.

A soldier won't carry anything he doesn't have to. We're all lazy fuckers. You would be too, if you had to run all over the place with a gun and ammo and body armor and whatnot.

Shit tires you out. Nobody likes being tired, and if there's a vehicle you can stick it on while you ride on it, so much the better.

Besides, the flat surfaces on armored vehicles are because armor plates come in big slabs, nobody will detail them unnecessarily when any hit that actually requires their protection will rip them off anyway.

> It's not like he's asking everyone to pardon Hitler and have him over for cake

He did seem pretty willing to forgive and forget with that one asshole who just wouldn't die. The Gradosian fucker who was murdering his own comrades just so he could fight Eiji again. He might not have been having tea parties with him, but he wasn't far off at the same time.

>>12598535

> 1. That is not an uncommon opinion

I haven't been in every thread here on it obviously, but it's certainly not an opinion I see often whenever I have seen the show talked about here

> 2. I will fight you regardless

No, you won't. You'll beg me to stop fighting because we can all get along if we try while a little girl kneels close by praying and thinking naive thoughts to herself.

I think I'm burning out on this game. All my pilots are SSRs or SR++, as are my TSFs, I have 15 million OP and I am not motivated to grind any more. The only way to get better is to train up SSR++ things and the only reliable way to get those is to become a buyfag.

Well, I haven't really been trying. Plus, SSRs come from the gachas and events, and I only really want to give a fuck for characters I like. SR++ pilots and TSFs are dirt common nowadays with all the events.

Plus, I have shit luck with gachas, I'm not like those people who get 3 SSRs within 100 tickets.
