isnt the mecha genre dead outside of gundam

>>27539
No, you just don't watch seasonal anime
I know it's nothing like the 20th century but
we've got a Wataru reboot and a space opera isekai with a mech pilot this cour, there's usually a couple per season

I'm not against replacing Ikeda for Char moving forward, even for mainline UC stuff, but goddamn, this new guy they got to do him for Gquuux really ain't it.

He doesn't even sound like he's trying to do the same thing.

>isekai
why even bother mentioning this detail or pretending its a genre

it's absolutely useless to bring up when back to the future, silent hill, my little pony, and .hack are all isekais. its fucking meaningless. it's as useful off a descriptor as "it has a dog in it"

>>27629
Time travel and pocket dimensions are not isekai unless you get philosophical about it.

>>27630
if you can "get philosophical about it" as a path to change the genre tags on something, then it's not a good genre tag.

just omit it. it says nothing about the story, and only acts as a buzzword to make you feel like youre "in the know" with japanese media, attracting other self obsessed weirdos like yourself who think being able to say more japanese words off the cuff makes you cooler

>>27629
.hack isn't really an isekai, although I give it partial credit because the MMO the MC's stuck in is at least called "the world" - still it's very much a video game and not like a world with its own reality outside of it. Can't speak to the others as don't watch western stuff or game very much.
Also, the specific mecha I was referring to, Ore wa Seikan Kokka no Akutoku Ryoshu!, is a reincarnated in another world story which follows the MC from his new childhood (after his boss and wife screw him over) and is adapted from a light novel that began on Narou. It's exactly what you think of when you hear the term "isekai" apart from the space opera setting.

seed is so shit, that is all

>>27676
more like gundam sneed

>>27657
THAT DOESNT TELL ME SHIT WHO CARES
all of the information you just gave me about this piece of media amounted to nothing and gave zero clues about what this show will be like. it may very well just be rick and morty based on your description

> A political demonstration in Tokyo: a group of activists hold up a sign that says "Peace cannot be achieved through force" in front of a billboard for the new Gundam anime series.
Heh.

Where does one start with mecha anime.

>>27741
Start with Gundam Wing.

If you watch it and decide you don't like magical super robots, then look more towards the UC Gundam timeline, especially stuff like 08th Team, and other "real robot" series like Votoms, Macross, or Patlabor.

If you watch it and you decide you do like the super robot aspect then there's stuff like G Gundam, Mazinger, or Gurren Lagann.

Or if you want actual magical robot stuff, there's Knight and Magic, Aura Battler Dunbine, or Vision of Escaflowne.

Ok will do, thanks anon

79: its cool. Amuro is a faggot but char is based retard.
Zeta: its the perfect middle ground between highly animated grim dark war fiction and KAMILLE
ZZ: anyone who doesnt like it is a plebeian
Victory: great look but disappointing characters and animation at times and its a real fuckin downer. Idk i dont think tomino cooked here.
Turn A: its so weird and i love it top 3 def
X: i never fuckin watched that one but i know it has its fans
G: i loved it as a kid and it was boring as an adult
Wing: so taxing to watch i kind of hate it
Seed: lol this one is cheesy as fuck and super derivative but its a vibe and its also the first one i saw
00: this one was made in tandem with code geass and its good but kinda is in code geasses shadow, also its derivative of earlier works. But its great.
Unicorn: i gotta torrent it never seen
AGE: same never watched that one. In fact i also never saw reconquista either.
IBO: i don't even want to watch that one it looks like its gonna be fucking gay am i alone here
WFM: this one i feel so weird about. Some things about it are very good, its main characters and central story are strong, it has some good emotional moments. But its also got more of a school anime thing that is boring, the other characters are pretty weak, it develops too fast and yet doesn't have enough plot to justify its runtime, and its half as long as most other series. Idk it couldve been great but its kinda mid ngl.
Gquux: havent watched yet but i hate hideaki anno. If its more like flcl and strikes out of gundam conventions to tell its own story i think i'll enjoy it but if it just tries to iterate on gundam in that anno "im so smart" way I'll probably hate it. Suisei did the ending song though, hugeW.

>>27741
Are you from /m/? I used to post there a few years ago when I was a teenager. I like Gundam a lot, Gquuux is actually really good so far. I went to see it in a theatre but none of my friends went with me :(

>>27539
Honestly yeah when it comes to anime. I think the last one I watched was Bang Brave Bang Bravern, that was good fun. But there is nowhere near the budget as there used to be. Though tbh I don't think anime is doing well since the pandemic in general, and that's not just me lamenting over the good old days.

>>27589
I don't think thats enough to consider it not dead. What's the isekai one called by the way? Being a light novel adaptation does not really fill me with confidence, I don't think I've ever enjoyed an isekai since Escaflowne either (and Escaflown is a stretch).

>>27770
Damn this is like the my list when I was 15, though I thought Unicorn was the best show ever at that time. Anno is not involved with Gquuux that much by the way. The first few episodes are AU, if you're a fan of the original you'll like it.
