Down Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Following a bit of derailing in the Valvrave thread, I decided to split into a thread where we can randomly discuss our love for robot anime and fight for which one is the best. ----- What do you mean "bad reputation" I thought most people agreed that Guilty Crown was pretty good. At least I've never seen much bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchytaco Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Guilty Crown's reputation is on par with Mirai Nikki's. It's misleadingly bad (or good?). Sunrise anime is their hypiness (yeah, I made that up). Shoot, that studio really does live up to its name with how flashy it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undying Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I havent watched a decent mecha anime since macross frontier, well so far Aldnoah seems decent to be fair. Tenkuru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsujin Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Gargantia had a bit of mecha, but hell it was really good. I like the atmosphere and story, and the characters too. I have the BDs and guide book. Tenkuru 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchytaco Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Gurren Lagann is my favorite mecha of the decade. I"ll never watch another Mecha again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Ariel7 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I am almost done with Gargantia but I can see where the story is going and beyond that I just hate sad stories.

Down Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I have not once ever before or forever more thought of Gurren Lagann as a mecha show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ariel7 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I know that TGTL is technically a mecha. BUT! I dont think of it that way. When I think mecha I think Voltron or Gundam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undying Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I might not have understood what you said, but I think you just called the anime that screams the most "robot anime" from the bottom of its foundations in the last 15 years, "not a mecha show" Well it's probably the best so...

Down Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 nah I have to disagree, Guren is pretty good but the all time best mecha anime is Super dimentional fortress Macross and the movie Macross ai oboete imasu ka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchytaco Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 If it has machines inside that fight each other, it's a mecha show. But in general yeah it is, some people don't see it as mecha. I see it as THE GRAND EPIC OF ALL EPICS! ........... I like it a lot. And I like Kill la Kill just as much (damn it continue the story!). I has all BDs for Kill la Kill .. .and that last BD volume's art box made me speechless .... I'll just take two quick pictures of the awesomeness: Yeah it's really hard to choose between Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill. I like them both a lot.

crunchytaco Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 And best robot anime of all time would be Evangelion of course I'm not a big fan of Macross tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 I see you want to invite the haters to challenge you today . I was obsessed with Evangelion when it came out. I'm glad I moved on from HIdeki's mental asylum though. If Muv Luv Alternative ever gets a proper anime adaption, I will swear with blood to never look at another Mecha.

Undying Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 speaking off mecha, anyone else hyped for this game? the gameplay trailler they showed at nintendo treehouse was epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsujin Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Gotta defend your territory =p Evangelion is a trap. The more you watch it, the more you become the otaku it adresses to. And the more you like it. ...of course MLA getting a proper anime adaptation (Bones pls) would be anime of the century. Can't see that happening any time soon sadly. And uh, yeah, I think the conversation derailed. Good thing a mod can't derail threads, merely reorient them in another direction Seriously though, sorry Dark Ariel, I guess we can get back to Valvrave now... You know man, I never freaking understood Evangelion ... that shit seriously doesn't make sense in a lot of corners. Is it from a manga or something? I also second Macross Frontier. That's one of the 'best' Mecha battles, ever. I hope they ditch the noticeable CG movements and all. I like it very much. Ah I know I mentioned this before, Gargantia has some really nice mecha battles too (the ending made my jaw drop!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Splitted stuff to stay consistent with the topic. You know man, I never freaking understood Evangelion ... that shit seriously doesn't make sense in a lot of corners. Is it from a manga or something? No, it's anime original. Usually when you watch Evangelion the first time you kinda understand the overall plot, but tons (like TONS) of questions are left. It's not really inconsistency or stuff not making sense, just questions for which you don't have an outright answer because the series is really extremely dense. That gives it a really huge rewatch value, too. But you can still get a lot of entertainment and some depth out of your first watch so it's not a hindrance.

Dark Ariel7 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 This always happens to the threads I start.... On an unrelated note, I seem to have awakened to a new hobby. Mecha anime. I am watching Aquarion and its not half bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibril Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 In terms of Mecha fights, I guess TTGL wins, in terms of story, Code Geass wins. While in terms of "wtf am I watching" mechas, Gotta say Evangelion win hands down. Not to mention Evangelion 4.0 is coming out hopefully next year after all the "WTF" they gave on 3.0...... Oh almost forgot but if Urobuchi went on madokapsychofatezero twists with Aldnoah.Zero...... well I guess we'll have to see.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking about scale them you are right, but I would not say that they were the best battles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
