Second batch with 26-50 is out now. Full details about the upscale process are in the Nyaa posts, but basically, this is an upscale of the original SD version of SEED. It was done using a custom upscaling model trained specifically on the HD Remaster.

This version is based on the SD Blu-rays from Rightstuf, so the source is much cleaner than the original DVDs, and it's from hchcsen's remuxes, so they're as good as you can get.

Good to see the thread coming along, I‘m pleased to see so many cool mechs.
Here’s another one of mine. I‘m trying to give my mecha a more androgynous look without slipping into full on gynoid territory. Making the armor on the torso lighter was one thing, I’m trying to cone up with good ways to give extra armor to the thighs to make them look thicker.

it’s more the inner frame and skeleton that i’ve drawn, without the armor that would protect it
hence why it’s so frail looking. i just find that easier, when i try drawing armor first i feel like it looks weird

The problem is that we know what happens as the universal century continues. Nothing gets better. Headshotting Zeon caused Spacenoids to get systematically holocausted and Newtypes to be abused as human batteries. Wiping out the reminants that *side with the space nazi's* causes even further Newtype experimentation. By the time Unicorn comes around the Earth Federation is even more corrupt than ever and FF has a plan that would force humans to travel to space and become enlightened as new types... But our heroes, including the literal Princess of Spacenoids, says fuck that and shatters any hope of humans emigrating to space by giving even more power to the earth federation... Then twenty something years later we see Hathaway and Earth is a genuine cesspit. Twenty years after that and there's still no progress. Heck!! Where's the one place that *does* develop over the universal century? Jupiter!! Who are a prestigious empire by the time of Crossbones!

The most important aesthetic aspects of mecha are really difficult to communicate. The proportions and geometry of the mecha, how they move, the scenes in the cockpit, these all make or break a mecha show/movie. These are all difficult to express, mecha fans may have a feeling of when these are done well or poorly, but to the avg person PR1 was no better or worse than a Bayformers movie (some of which had redeeming qualities)
PR1 nailed all of them. Particularly the piloting system, the idea of pair piloting and the drift was such an amazing vehicle for interpersonal drama (and PR1 didnt even really make full use of it)
You can tell just by comparing the designs of Gipsy Danger to Gipsy Avenger that the film was headed by people without the requisite taste level to make good mecha
>>
>>22611695
Pacific Rim 1 makes every motion of the machines an event. Gypsy Danger's got so many moving parts, and so much care and thought put into it's design that every time it does anything it's visually and audibly exciting. There's all of these wonderful little flourishes to its movements. A really good example is during the Knifehead fight, when it does the two fisted smash. You hear this sound like a winch or cable being pulled taught, and as the sound reaches it's highest pitch, and the arms lock back, the forearm guards lock down to the elbows, signifying that it's locking it's joints down to withstand the impact. That stuffs almost completely absent in Uprising.
>>
>>22606299
For me, it was mecha design and the way they moved being worse in the second movie.

For one, Jaegers in Uprising were too mobile. Yeah you had Red Typhoon in the first that was super mobile, and the Australian one could run with a turbo booster, but still everything had weight to it. They remembered these are literal walking skyscrapers that weigh thousands of tons. Meanwhile Uprising had them pull acrobatic maneuvers, everything felt weightless and free of inertia and less special. There's "tech advanced ahead" and then there's bs.

Boyega is a less charismatic actor overall, killing off both heroes of the first movie shot them in the foot.

You'd think Pacific Rim would actually be able to make cool robot designs, but once they figured out people only cared about Striker and Gypsy, it was all recolors from there
