This is Genshiryoku Jinzoningen (Nuclear/Atomic Power Android). Published in 1948, mangaka is Uno Kazumichi (pen-name Itiro Uno), it is, as far as we know, the first piloted robot manga in history.Say something nice about it.

>>17257933Probably not the first of its kind, to be honest.

The 1940 short manga Electric Octopus (デンキダコ Denki Dako) featured a powered, piloted, mechanical octopus.https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=AKjJwuvi7mYC&pg=PA48#v=onepage&q&f=false

Japan passion for /m/ stuff was something that already existed in the 30's and during the war. But that's period is scarcely covered in english, with authors generally seeming to push it aside as unimportant or irrelevant.

>>17262785It's meant for closest sized Japanese apartments where the builder (1) doesn't have the space for an an compressor with tank or (2) wants to minimize sounds in order to avoid disturbing neighbors because that's an ingrained social taboo.The airbrush itself is probably halfway decent, Aoshima is a respected and old model company. You're better off getting something else though, look at the guide in the OP. Pic related is what you want to invest in desu.

Here's a collection of ultra-obscure, independently produced tokusatsu titles released between the late 80s and early 2000s. Most of these have never been shared before. All are ripped from VHS. https://nyaa.si/view/1117126https://raretokusatsu.wordpress.com
>>17261228Sounds like an Eiyu Club title. https://raretokusatsu.wordpress.com/2018/07/08/raw-ausencia-memoria/Is it this one?
>>17261228Mechanical Violator Hakaider?
I don't even watch much tokusatsu, mostly just Ultraman stuff, yet the thought of finding rare ones and hidden gems fascinates me anyways, and I don't know why.
>>17261558It looks similar. It could be it.>He goes insane yet again and starts to whip the rebels one by one, only to have them killed by more of Gurjev's troopsThis is something about old jap works that really doesn't sit well with me. Not because it's a cheap attempt at badassery, but because the supposed hero does crappy things and the people suffering from it or their comrades will still suck his dick like the victims they knew were less than human.
>>17262012Honestly, I'm kind of the same. I haven't watched any tokusatsu series since like 2011. Mostly because I just don't have the time nowadays, but also because I've got zero interest in any of the new Kamen Rider or Sentai shows. But indie toku is really great. Not just because it's something you can watch on the side without having to sit through 50+ episodes, but also because they tend to have way more unique and creative ideas compared to mainstream stuff. No censorship, because they mostly cater to otaku crowds rather than kids, no annoying toy gimmicks... plus I just like this sort of low-budget film making. It's not done just to sell toys like what Toei does nowadays, but rather because the people behind it have a real passion and love for this stuff. There are honestly many reasons.
What was his fucking problem?

Who was your first crush /m/? Mine was Lisa from Robotech. Just seeing the way she chased after Rick and loved him so much was somthing I found so endearing. Since I watched robotech at 10 or 11 yo I've always wanted a woman to love me like she loved Rick. Lisa will always hold a special place in my heart.

>>17261164Whatever floats your boat anon. I had intended it be more than a physical attraction but fuck it, do you.
>>17254576Dita from Vandread.was right around the time I found out about hentai, too>>17257920Mercury was the cutest. Dunno if she's the best, but she's definitely the cutest.
We should blame Tomino for inventing the isekai genre with Dunbine and the shitty light novels/anime it's legacy's produced.
>>17259699It's easier to say than saying "the tranported to another world trope/genre"
>>17256795Based Tomino gave us fuckable fairies
>>17259699The word mecha also applies to everything you just said.
>>17259699It's a good word to identify a specific collection of elements which include the protag getting transported into another world. It was used notably a couple years ago to describe light novels mostly, and they always included an RPG systematic fantasy, chuuni shit, and fanservice harems formed out of archetypes. There were so many of these novels that the ones which coukd be easily identified as isekai were banned from editorial contests.However I can't think it can be used retroactively for works which happpen to have the protag travel to another world. It carries the stigma of those cliched novels of the mid 2010s. Specially with Dunbine, where Upper Earth plays a big role and there is travel back and forth, not like most isekai novels where it is mostly a excuse to have MC be a "relatable" loser ending up in ideal fantasy world and the only it is ever discussed about Earth is "oh, it's just like my video games" (because it literally is!)
>>17259729I'm fucking sick of fantasy series with fairies ending with the hero getting together with the human girl and not the fairyAre there any shows/movies/books/ect. where the opposite happens
Why is Zeorymer the best anime ever made and only 80s OVAs are good?
>>17260824Masaki wanted to ensure that no matter what side won in the upcoming conflict he would come out on top, so he ensured that he would technically be on both sides by putting his clones on both sides, meaning no matter which side won, he won. Yuratei's programming ended up being blowing everything the fuck up if it got to that stage - but she wanted to resist it, she managed to hold on to a sense of self beyond the programming, her act of resistance was to hold back against nuking everything as long as she could and call Masato to kill her instead. It was an act of agency on her part in defiance of Masaki.
Anyone got a Blu-Ray rip of the subbed version? It's no longer seeding on Nyaa.

was the entire show just a set-up to teach kids the value of literacy
>>17256921My take is that centering your show on "communication" let the director pull their punches and make the fight last longer, which wouldn't happen if the goal was to instant kill the enemy when he is looking away.Just remember how many time a mech (protagonist or antagonist) just "appear" to make a long dialog on what they should fight for, instead of shooting from behind with the intent to kill, or kill the weakened target.It's also a setup to have a character brag and explain his master plan.
>>17256889Close. It's about the distance between meaning and writing.We write a lot in our society, but we often use words explicitly to distance our true self and feelings from each other. Hence the monsters being hollow words.Nesta got caught in a catch 22 by the message: She knew that Kiryu was passionate about her, but was forced to have his final message conveyed , which is metaphorical for trying to use words to express our feelings to each other.It failed, because there is distance between the meaning and the word, and her understanding of what was meant to be a heartfelt promise was destroyed.Which is the overall theme of the entire show: Akira is stuck with a meaning he doesn't understand because he had the context taken from him. Subete has perverted the promise of his name into entitlement. Maia is Literally made whole cloth, and has to learn to redefine herself on her own terms.Most of the episodes are entirely about recovering meaning of a word through Verbalism; effectively pulling that distance shorter so that better understanding can be achieved.Which is not too far from Nesta's problem. Ironically, if she entirely rejected the letter, she would have died happy, knowing correctly that she had not been betrayed.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I think what might be overlooked, and perhaps this is ironically the shows fault for not communicating well, is that for a race of people like Nesta who treat the word as sacrosanct the very idea of LYING would be absolutely alien. So when the soldiers lied to her she naturally believed them.
>>17262173I don't think it's too badly formed, the problem is they needed more focus on how Maia and Nesta are parallel.
You've killed more people than me, Kamille!
whats the best mech ever?
>>17258524>Zoomer topic
>>17258524>mechWhy does anyone use this word? It's awkward and ugly to pronounce. It feels incomplete, and gives whomever uses it the connotations of being a total grognard who spergs out about how much more realistic Battletech is than "weebshit".
