What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0

Solo Leveling season 2: GIVE ME SEASON 3 TODAY! I didn't read the source material and I avoided spoilers all season long. Season 2 was a delight, start to finish. And that opening theme song is a banger. -

I gave Gundam a chance. I watched a couple different series (I think the original, Char's revenge, and a third one) but gave up on the IP when it seemed like they were all rehashing the same plot with similar/related characters. But back to aesthetics. Gundams don't make any sense to me (see attached pic). If I'm designing mecha, am I going to waste time, materials, manpower, money, etc. making every other facet pointlessly pointy? No. There's nothing elegant about a Gundam's design, and that's their fatal flaw for me.- 17029 replies

I'm an OG G1 die-hard...but I feel like it's time to move on and establish a newer, richer cast of multi-faceted characters and an internally-consistent universe. And for the love of God, make it a universe that doesn't revolve around kids! I give every TF series an honest chance, but I keep returning to G1 simply because none of the follow-up series released thus far has captured my imagination in any compelling or lasting way.- 17029 replies

I forgot about this one. I love that "The original battle machines!" is/was trademarked. I suppose this is a good example of "everything old is new again."

A couple sites identify this as a model kit. https://www.facebook.com/suprememecha/posts/news-kits-mospeada-gsc-moderoid-genesis-climber-vr-0527f-mospeadadetails-tbaaaro/982634653867997/ https://plastic-model-republic.com/product/tag_page.html?tags=913&p=1

"Please, Sir. I want some more." I really like its stripped-down design, even if it looks just a bit stumpy in these pix.

Many thanks for the offer! I'll keep it in mind if something happens to one of my orders.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
26662 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I had a lot of hope for it. I might try again some day when I’m ready to concentrate on the plot. -
I just watched an 11-year old YouTube video of someone building a 1/72 Legioss Fighter model kit. But what caught my eye was a comment that described a Monogram model kit of Go-Bots Leader-1 that was based off the Legioss. I figured the commenter was full of it. Nope: https://www.ebay.com/itm/296133515473?chn=ps&google_free_listing_action=view_item We have definitive connections between Macross and Transformers and Mospeada and Go-Bots. Anyone know of a connection between Southern Cross and another IP? The Mighty Orbots? 🙂 I was aware of the Cy-Kill/Cyclone model kit, but somehow the Leader-1 escaped me.

Oof... Star Trek: Discovery. I felt that. ST:D needed better storytellers (and they shouldn't have stolen the entire water bear/warp drive story line), but more to your point, Soniqua-Green can't act. She was terrible on the Walking Dead and she showed zero growth on ST:D. -
I'm gonna run with this idea and add a dash of GI Joe. I'll create two fighters with complementary color schemes and call them Xamot and Tomax.

Shoot. That’s too bad. I like their complementary colors. Made me think we were a couple years into the war and I was seeing fighters that had been cobbled together using parts from totaled mecha. Actually, that gives me ideas!

Grabbed this image from AnyMoon (https://anymoon.com/blog/?p=13609#more-13609). If this isn’t a prototype or test shot built for promotion, anyone know what became of this one? Love the color scheme.
