Thoughts on Endless Orbit SSX?The antagonists, save for Mr. Zone and one-offs like the merchant girl, are kinda bland and unthreatening compared to the Mazone from the 1978 series (or the Gamilus in Yamato), but there's still a lot to like about it.>Tochiro gets to show his relaxed attitude and dry humor, instead of dying as soon as possible (honestly reminds me of my grandmother)>Gunfights are more elaborate, with Harlock dual-wielding his pistol and sabre or throwing his jacket as a distraction >Designs and atmosphere are distinctly '70s, while the artwork is very '80s (thin and sharp linework, increased emphasis on shading and shiny metal surfaces, lively explosions and lasers) - the best of two worlds>Space battles feel like kind of an afterthought, though scenes like the chase between Harlock and Zone's glowing ship give me hope for the remaining 8 episodesI don't mind the faster pacing compared to the Arcadia of my Youth movie or the '70s series, though I generally prefer the serialized stories over the one-and-done capers this time around.All things considered I can see why some might prefer this incarnation over the previous entries, just as I enjoyed Yamato III and Final more than Yamato II (the original Yamato is the most "complete" installment so far, but the sequels still have their moments).While I'm at it, is there any record of the elements that got cut for time/budget, like with Yamato III? (see https://ourstarblazers.com/vault/373/ - this site is amazing)
What's the general consensus on Dimensional Voyage? I read it a while back and thought it was decent. I appreciated how it actually had a definitive ending unlike the classic manga, which just kind of stops.
>>22583825Like the other guy said, it's not pure Leiji but if you watch his other stuff, it's impossible not to see his "DNA" in Yamato. >>22583867You gotta watch Galaxy Express and Queen Millennia, they're slow but they're very good. If you like the Leiji ethos then you will enjoy those shows, just don't try to binge them too fast. >Prefer Yamato 3 over 2That's wild, but I get it. I prefer the movie version of 2 where everyone dies at the end, the season doesn't make up for it's longer runtime with unique ideas, instead it's mostly filler. I don't know how I feel about 3, as the only version I was able to find had atrocious subtitles. It was watchable, but it felt kind of like an afterthought. If you somehow found a version with decent subtitles, please let me know.
>>22583905One difference I've noticed is that Yamato focuses more on the ship and war/disaster than the individual crew members, especially in the sequel movies, while the other Leiji stuff (Harlock, GE999, Danguard) leans more on the young protagonist.As for Yamato III, I went with the US dub and never tried the Hong Kong bootleg subs. Supposedly it's less censored than the dub of the previous seasons, though they ditched the established voice cast in favor of the Speed Racer crew because it was easier than tracking down the originals.I haven't read the source manga, and I rarely watch more than two episodes per day and/or sitting (no matter the show).

>>22585100I was in a similar boat. I'd gained some weight due to a shitty job and diet. Last year though, I made it my goal to do something about it. I started running again and started lifting. Went from 214 lbs to 156 lbs. Feels good being lean again. I wouldn't say I feel like I have no energy. Far from it. I run 10k most days and it's been ages since I've felt so alert and motivated. Moving back to the countryside helped too. But, I want every /m/an to feel this good. I want us all to make it. It just takes like an hour of good exercise a day and straightening out your diet. It's not hard. You can even watch fun stuff while you run if you do it on a treadmill. Been able to watch and rewatch so much shit during an hour a day on the treadmill.
>>22585137>156 lbs.>But, I want every /m/an to feel this good.At the risk of body-shaming, I personally wouldn't feel like a /m/an at that weight. Any circumstance that forces me back to the size I was as a high school sophomore is something that would probably lead to my death. No thanks. I'll keep lifting weights, sprint-cycling, walking on errands, and stuffing my face.And if your goal is to provide people with a realistic way to lose weight healthily, running 10k daily and living in the country (where you have to drive for necessities) is not the way. Better to live some place where you're a ~30 minute walk/bike to your job and pass a grocery store on the way. Productively active routines are always better for sustainable weight management than overwrought fitness regimes. If you don't care about health and just want to lose weight, fast a lot and don't move so much that you get hungry.Anyway, I need y'all to at least try to be on-topic.
I used to be way into chubby guys, but every single one I've met IRL have been the rudest and most arrogant cunts I've ever seen. I can no longer get off to 2D chubs because of that mental association. Bummer.
>>225869552D is the truth. I'm sorry you had to learn your lesson the hard way.

have you guy tried using AI subs on these obscure shows?
Really liking jiraiya so far, it’s very different from the other metal hero’s type shows, obviously it isn’t as good as metalder(it’s not fair to compare these shows this way) but a tv series capitalizing on the 80s ninja craze in its own country is easily something fantastic to watch, plus it’s got incredible martial arts, what’s not to like?
>>22583071>Lol, seems like an odd choice to watch with friendsEh, me and my buds always watch the odd shit, like recently we had a few beers and chilled watching Entrails of a Beautiful Woman where a bunch of rapists get stalked by a monster and knocked off F13 style.I'll bring this one up with the group too, thanks a lot m8.
>>22586308If I recall correctly, that has been attempted at least once, & the results were absolute dogshit. So based on that alone I'd say it's pretty ill-advised.
New chapter of Kazumine's Ultraman.https://mangadex.org/title/39801903-3b03-4704-98ea-a9f2d80bdadf/ultraman
So I started watching this after going through 79', and up to a point I was preferring the original a bit more, but once the Zeta Gundam gets introduced and they change OPs..https://youtu.be/bM9IvVH3pKEI feel like some sort of switch flipped or something, but the writing, animation and a lot of the plot elements have been ramped up. The direction Kamille and Jerrid are going by the time the Titans try to drop a Colony on the moon, they feel like night and day compared to where they used to be.I know it's been said numerous times in over 40 years, but Zeta Gundam really is one of the best Gundam shows Tomino has ever produced, right next to 79' and Turn A.
>>22587512I'll be honest, I'm still confused why that happened. At the end of Zeta it seems like he turned into a retard or had his personality wiped, but in ZZ he's a cripple mute.
>>22587537>Sirocco gives him brain damage at the end of Z>Regains some functionality after recovering at a hospital in DublinSeems pretty straightforward to me.
>>22586428Found the YouTube restrospective watcher.

Did the truck arrive late because it's a truck? Wouldn't the other support vehicles be fukkin' slow then?
>>22583937Either that or to increase dramatic tension.>>22583767Maybe it's needed to build up the necessary velocity to catapult the Shinkalion into Ultra Evolution Space. Things seem to be data focused this year.>>22583721Soon, probably. The first two episodes felt like one long episode. We know for sure they're going to go to Tsuruga soon, the newest Shinkansen stop, and they've been showing travel destinations and activities in some of the previews with the kids.

Does the G anime go full ham with Hidler or that was all made up for SRW?
>>22582108Made up for SRW. Toei's Hidler is a fairly generic villain that happens to look like Hitler (no crazy German accent either) and manga Hidler is barely there.

not sure how many of you will remember this one.
>>22587671Anime drawing books in general? Never seen that book in particular.
>>22587674Wasn't there one mecha drawing book from the design studio that handles Sentai mecha?
>>22587674its a mecha drawing book some people here probably had in the early 2000s. it also had some interview and pages dedicated to mechwarrior 4 if i remember right.
We all know who the strongest robots are, but what about the absolute weakest ones? I'll let you decide the criteria on what "weakest" implies but this is for actual pilotable mecha robots, humanoids two legs two arms one head so no gundam balls or shitty 86 spiders or any of that cannon fodder.(image only for illustrative purposes)
>>22584169>main cast members doing better in Leos than any other pilot, everWhen you install Heero inside a Leo, the dobergun is automatically upgraded to a beam-firing model, when previously that was exclusive to the Tallgeese.
>>22585583No anon, that has nothing to do with Tallgeese.Its entirely due to the animators being faggots and unable to decide if the the Dobergun in general is a shellfiring gun or a beam cannon.
>>22570937>>22575595The RPGs were fired at the V2B's reactive armor attachments, it was meant to blow up by design.
>>22585579I definitely don't remember that instance, but that is a pretty good example.
>>22585738By a stroke of luck, although the animators fucked up, for the most part Leo Doberguns rarely ever fire beams, the example in >>22585583 is pretty much the only time it ever happened. Tallgeese's dobergun commonly fires both beams and projectiles from its bazooka. It's a bit of a soft and bullshit handwave explanation from side material that comes after-the-fact, that Tallgeese's dobergun is a more expensive dual-mode version, while the Leo dobergun is a cheaper model that is meant to fire projectiles. Supposedly the MS Encyclopedia had this to say:>https://mechatalk.net/viewtopic.php?p=336373&sid=d3faef539d87c4ba690c8d928eb08dbb#p336373>Tallgeese: "Thanks to its long barrel and beam firing speed, it can shoot accurately even at long distances. The Leo wields long-range weapons of the same type, but with subtle differences in form.">Leo: "The same type of long-range weapon equipped by the Tallgeese. It's the only weapon in the Leo's arsenal capable of damaging a Gundanium-armored MS."It's a bit telling that they very specifically use this phrasing and say that the Leo doesn't have the SAME weapon but "same type" of weapon but with "subtle differences" because they know the animation fucked up and drew the same weapon but firing different effects.
No Medabots thread? Let's change that.

Did they ever do a translation for the Wonderswan version of the 1st one or is it just GB only.

Here is a show that every /m/an should watch at least once.
>>22580645>It's bizarre that Bubblegum Crisis and Ghost in the Shell (two of the biggest cyberpunk anime franchises) largely vanished from the board's catalog two/three years agoDid they?
>>22580296I don't believe there's any 60 year olds outside of Facebook online.Unless you want to tell the class being 18 makes you grown up.
>>22583565It's not that /m/ completely stopped talking about those franchises, mostly that you rarely see dedicated threads. It's why I specifically said "the catalog" instead of "the board".I've also noticed that old OVAs don't get the kinda traction they used to, and that Tank Police has largely been reduced to "the thing that inspired Patlabor".
>>22583722This anon is right, the catalog moves way too quickly with stupid shit compared to, say, 4 or 5 years back. There's no longer an interes in sharing or discussing the lesser known and more interesting stuff but rather keep talking about the same shit over and over because newfags don't know any better.

just getting into this anime, and following through with it in chronological order. so I just finished picrel, but where the hell can I find roots of ambition? and idk, having a gene that makes you lucky sounds like some Jojo shit that might get old real quick.
>>22585103Man this one looks funky
Why is chronological order bad? Do people not understand what that means?
>>22586763Why do we have to suffer your retardation? The story isn't told in chronological order. Viewing it in that way ruins everything about the narrative. Fuck off.
>>22586764>retardationIts a genuine question. How does watching in order of events ruin the narrative?
Stop trolling and get a life.
