Let's do this again! Remember, no special/one shot/plot pivotal mechs allowed. Feel free to include music.

Appreciating them.

Has anyone here heard confirmation of whether or not Gundam Side Stories is going to contain
"Rise from the Ashes" as one of the HD re-releases?

Also, Gundam Side Stories speculation/discussion thread.

Is Sgt. Frog/Keroro Gunsou worth watching for the Gundam references?

So, /m/en, after some persuasion from some of you guys, I just finished up reading FSS up to volume 10.

But I'm just not satisfied.

Granted, I know volumes 11 and 12 haven't been translated, or any of the new Gothicmade stuff that was recently running on Newtype. But the story feels incomplete. Sure, Nagano has a whole timeline written out for us, but there is just no gravity to it. If anything, it's really depressing because a lot of the plot developments in the manga are almost irrelevant to the main story. I guess that is the appeal of FSS, but it's like introducing someone to the Star Wars franchise by making them watch the shitty Clone Wars series rather than actually showing them the movies. There are a lot of really fantastic short stories, like pic related, but I doubt it'll lead to anywhere in the long run.

Even Berserk, despite taking forever to update like FSS, has a full complete arc with the Golden Age.

So, have any of you actually read the manga yet? Can we have a more in-depth discussion than "the mechs are so skinny"? Can we have a decent FSS discussion without bitching about Nagano, LED Mirage, SRW or Gothicmade?

Probably not, but I would like to see what you guys think about the actual manga aspect of FSS.

Today I marathoned three recent Evangelion movies.
1.11 and 2.22 were pretty awesome but I have an issue with 3.33.
What happened? Aside from the overuse of shitty-looking CGI and disgusting ship design, the tone changed a lot. Character changes are ridiculous, both Misato and Pirate Asuka became a flat 1-dimensonal characters.

I know I'm late to the party but can we have a discussion about that abomination?

Why is this so super popular again ?

Just finished it and it was quite mediocre, it had its moments but it was nothing special and definitely not a masterpiece.
And it was cliche, incredibly cliche, I think this was the most cliche anime I ever saw.
Plot holes like: in all those years they could make an army of Gunbusters but they didn't build more.
Time dilatation was used just as a gimmick for drama.
The out of place love drama with Coach was stupid.
The last episode and the finale were underwhelming.
It was obvious the last ep was in B&W and masked as "artistic choice" just to save money and make it on time - just another ep25/26, good old Gainax.
The Gunbuster fight in ep5 was underwhelming.
The only moment that was really good and moved me was "Smith" ;_;7
Would be better if it ended at episode 5.

>inb4 some retards start: "HURR must be a troll"

Unpopular /m/ opinions thread!

Giant Robo's ova was not that great.

So, the FightingAndMechGame inspired OS gets deployed for people outside the Valkyries crew at some point right?
Do we know how it was received in other places and how did any other pilots make use of it?

There's also the possibility that it didnt get any spotlight outside Alternative, even when there it had a fair share of spotlight, so dunno.
Anyone?

So /m/en...

1.) Did Komei really know what would happen when all three Anti-Shizuma Drives were brought together?

2.) Was he really following the will of Big Fire?

3.) What is the "GR Plan"?
