Hmm...if Veldora uses moves from other world, even tho its fiction

He can still utilize it

wont that make him more powerful?

[trim swan]

he can only do what his magicules allow him to do

so even if he can do a kamehameha
he cannot do a genki dama

probably

[slender skiff]

He's basically

Using his own powers to recreate moves

So in a way yes

But to be honest, just being with rimuru made him way more powerful

As of volume 16, where Rimuru ||becomes a true dragon himself|| we have specific numbers on how strong veldora is in comparison

Veldora is still roughly 8x stronger than Rimuru in terms of "stats"

That's the difference between a original true dragon and a

Well

||New true dragon|| aka overpowered slime

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

For comparison

[silver robin]

Oh yeah. I even posted a few screenshots here when it was coming out.

[stable herald]

im not aware

sorry

[ivory mauve]

Timezones

[thorn briar]

This is haneda's case

Will they finally explain it

[gusty light]

99% of the winning reason on the Heroine in the LN on having the protag is to the fact she looks like his "belated" ex girlfriend

Heroine and MC's deceased girlfriend look alike

same publisher as Date A Live, Highschool DxD, and Amagi Brilliant Park

Isekai Minecraft, I think I know that

[thorn briar]

Wakasa

[gusty light]

Source?

[stable herald]

yep

isekai minecraft

[thorn briar]

I forgot eminence ep2 is today

There's a lot more than just that but
My Hero is usually MHA or BHA
Kanokari is usually RAG

[slender skiff]

One of the og memes

[coarse steeple]

jjk being overrated is crazy

im glad gege isn't shy from killing off people

it isn't the best but it ain't def overrated

I agree with most though, KNY is hard carry by ufotable's animation

tokyo revengers sucks

tokyo ghoul got the WORST adaptation of manga to anime in the world

SAO had potential if its protagonits wasn't kirito and they did more world building and less harem

[boreal oyster]

he's a magical girl

[slender skiff]

Also wait

RAG is overrated?

You mean people even rated it highly to begin with?

Wtf

[thorn briar]

I ship them , but the fact that he makes her clean the bathroom as his assistant is weird

I dropped the manga , but i don't remember exactly where

[ivory mauve]

What the hell is this maid in Manhattan

[thorn briar]

ah

[ivory mauve]

The master manipulator!!!!

[gusty light]

Kagurabachi? note taken

[silver robin]

Kagurabachi seems to be typical above average shonen action

but its only been like 4 chapters

so its bold to make that claim this early

[stable herald]

What manga is this again

i forgot the name, but i've read them b4

[ivory mauve]

Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle ~The Black Mage Who Got Kicked Out of the Hero Party Due to His Unnecessary Debuffs Gets Welcomed by the Top Brass of the Demon King's Army~

[stable herald]

Oh

Its the raiding game one

Where its just an entertainment

[stable herald]

'How short should our title be?"

"Ja but nein"

[stable herald]

oof

glad there no img of chloe

it hurts me

that i accidently watched the ep1 scene

on yt shorts

[shut lion]

[stable herald]

EXCUSE ME WHAT

[trim swan]

OVERLORD flashbacks

[stable herald]

HAHAHA

True

holy shit its good

and quite more unique than other trashsekai

[slender skiff]

Ikr

[stable herald]

Holy shit, ofc there are idiots in this anime tryna attack mc

Ofc, as a royal knight, i would def overlook a big as fuck greatsword on his back even tho hes not well built 5' guy

ok ok

[echo quiver]

oh, you found that garbage isekai

[slender skiff]

She does look like she's simping

[echo quiver]

i mean, all isekai is garbage, so i guess that's redundant

[slender skiff]

Aqua that's bullshit

[echo quiver]

but it's in that one subgenre where it's basically one of those you can feel is just another mass produced isekai

[slender skiff]

There is good isekai

[stable herald]

i preferred this than the fuckin vending machine

[slender skiff]

Actually

[echo quiver]

nono. there is not, ender. even the good ones get contaminated by being in the same genre as other isekais

[slender skiff]

Vending machine is a decent story lmao

[echo quiver]

it got a season 2

[stable herald]

Atlease this one got that unique start with the mc "second timing", and the characters got entertaining personality

[slender skiff]

That's far from unique at this point

I already can think of a few isekai where it's the second time

[stable herald]

i didnt sadly

Only mangas

mind giving the names?

[slender skiff]

Yeah most are LNs

[stable herald]

bruh

soo yeah...its logical i never seen it in anime platform

But like i said, i've seen it for mangas

[slender skiff]

Because honestly what difference does it make?

[stable herald]

especially that manga where that one guy isekaid in 100 diff worlds

as a mission

[slender skiff]

So cautious hero

Is one of them

Which is an anime so

[stable herald]

fuck

I hate college wifi

the anime buffering at the fuckin middle

its always like that even tho i reloaded the web

[slender skiff]

So there I gave you 1 anime example

Cautious Hero

And if you want to be technical
SAO Alicization

[stable herald]

holy shit

i forgot bout sao

[stable herald]

WAIT

I FORGOT THIS MOVIE EXISTED

IT WAS LAST YEAR LMAO

[slender skiff]

It's an anime original

I heard it's alright

I personally have no interest tho

[boreal oyster]

ingfo ingfo

frieren gonna get 28 eps

[silver robin]

2 cours yep

[quasi vault]

surprise surprise

where????????/

MADHOUSE PELASE

[silver robin]

the real question is where no game no life

[quasi vault]

dead

[slender skiff]

Dead and I still hope it doesn't get an s2

Because if it does, it'll legit just ruin everyone's memory

[slender skiff]

🐌

[trim swan]

ender on fire tonight

🔥

[thorn briar]

How to unsee what I saw

I never expected some conan fans to ship gin with kir and gin with ran

[boreal oyster]

she hoped she was a girl from 30 mins ago

[thorn briar]

[boreal oyster]

ik midnight dinner is bad

but I'm hungary af

[thorn briar]

Go eat then

I forgot that haneda's case was 17 years ago in conan and they couldn't solve it

And it happened in America too

The only one who was asked to solve it was Mary's husband, and he didn't comeback and told her to go to Japan cause it would be safer for them

And they didn't find her husband's corpse so I'm pretty sure that he's alive

Also gin said once that he won't correct the mistakes that Rum has done 17 years ago which is haneda's case

[echo quiver]

there was no more game so

[thorn briar]

No more games and there is more to touching grass

[thorn briar]

Sus people in the same arc

[flat cedar]

Im glad no game no life got shat on

[slender skiff]

The TL note lmfao

[silver robin]

300+ chapters of trash disguised as rainbows pogu

[thorn briar]

Rent a gf didn't finish

[quaint patrol]

never will

[slender skiff]

If stuff like Komi can continue, so will rental yes

[red magnet]

I saw that lol

[dry moon]

Rent a gf sucks

Everyone in it is just so illogical

[trim swan]

well it sells

[dry moon]

Can’t figure out why

Can’t wait for black clover to air some more

If it even will

[trim swan]

black clover been on hiatus for too long

[dry moon]

Yeah

[trim swan]

then again, there's bleach

[dry moon]

It was the second anime I watched in my life

And it set the bar really fucking high

[trim swan]

eh watch enough anime and the bar gets higher

I'm at the point where I'll drop one just cause I don't like the sfx

[dry moon]

Lmao

I watch anime muted

[thorn briar]

Komi didn't finish

[slender skiff]

Yes

Komi and Rental have both outlived kaguya

Let that sit in

[dry moon]

Kaguya was fun

[quasi vault]

https://youtu.be/CYcrmsdZuyw?si=gy6Tw1zNpcOm2PVY

[solemn pollen]

Pain

At this point they'll out line oshi no ko

[quaint patrol]

komi is a comedy now isnt it

[thorn briar]

I dropped it after 2 chapters I think

I dropped the anime after s1 too

[silver robin]

[silver robin]

vol 1 ended on a slight cliffhanger

also 2015 j novel club lineup is a blast from the past

[quaint patrol]

i immediately saw the

daughter demon lord one

pure angst 5, then chill after

jk haru

[flat cedar]

[quaint patrol]

wow actually reading alot of those titles is fun

i recognize a bunch

[flat cedar]

I recogize a bunch too, but I cba'd to read

too busy to read rather than watch anime

[dry moon]

I watched all of dragon ball and dragon ball z and I can say with confidence it is not for me

Too much long battles

Black clover does long battles better

[thorn briar]

What are u gonna do to her

Imagine thinking that u can defeat her

We finally gonna know what happened in haneda's case

He looks different wtf

[thorn briar]

He's 50 here

I didn't know

[silver robin]

forgot instant death isekai is next season

[thorn briar]

Oh wait , Mary is older than him by 3 or 4 years

[slender skiff]

@stable herald here, another isekai where there's multiple isekai-ing

Also, I forgot but shield hero also involves isekai-ing multiple times

Technically

[stable herald]

Oh yeah, they like got forced to teleport

To chase the glassed mfker

Oh i read that manga

The instant death one

The story somehow is detailed as hell with soo much info

At the same time mc just here n there killing stuff

[flat cedar]

[trim swan]

no NSFW content pls

[uncut marlin]

That ain't even nsfw

[silver robin]

new eminence episode omegalilwoo

[silver robin]

its inside joke in the anime community that handholding is lewd

[boreal oyster]

nsfw

not safe for western

[slender skiff]

Not safe for weebs

[silver robin]

not safe for wanyone

just like this image from this weeks eminence episode

[flat cedar]

Apparently My Wife is a Demon Queen has an "anime" adaptation

I say "anime" but its not like a regular adaptation

[trim swan]

you mean the manhua?

[flat cedar]

Wish it had a proper anime adaptatio

[silver robin]

this seems like a parody of something irl yet also not

[ivory mauve]

Holy moly they kept the kiss lol

[flat cedar]

If you know how Yakuza husband was treated on netflix

its how demon queen is currently adapted in anime form

with chinese va

[silver robin]

[dusty adder]

Literally me frfr

[stable herald]

Holy shit i dont remember any yuri content on eminence

[stable herald]

Fuckin i felt soo old

This is like... Literally some of very small amount of manhua that i read

[dusty adder]

We got buff nanamin, but wheres mei mei

[flat cedar]

its one of the few I read as well.

I still wish this had a proper adaptation

[dusty adder]

Gege bribed mappa to make nanami looks like a Greek god and skip mei mei

[flat cedar]

IIRC I feel like the story is almost done

even though its probably not

but where can you go if

||Now you're officially a demon lord's husband, and became a demon for a short time, died, then came back||

[gusty light]

What the fu-

Just drinking blood but what the fu

[trim swan]

estate developer is back

[thorn briar]

Haibara mentioned this woman's name once before

[stable herald]

Even tho shes a golddigger, i just like her cuz damn shes hot and damn shes badass

[stable herald]

Legendary manhwa for its sheer mc's expression

All of them are gold

[trim swan]

i laugh too much whenever i read it

[stable herald]

Guys, how many ep has jjk s2 released for now?

[thorn briar]

Idk

I dropped it

[stable herald]

You shouldnt answer my question if thats your answer to begin with

Shiro baka

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

Your taste is exceptionally weird

[thorn briar]

Nom baka

[stable herald]

So its fine not answering

[thorn briar]

I like gojo and I got spoiled about what happened to him

[stable herald]

Then decided to drop it?

[thorn briar]

So I didn't feel like I wanted to continue

[stable herald]

Weak shiro baka

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

[slender skiff]

[thorn briar]

Good thing I came back for conan

Cause akai's death was fake

[stable herald]

Go continue your conan

Ignore other animes

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

I recommend that

[thorn briar]

There is new episode tomorrow

And I'm reading the manga now

I'm watching a new deduction anime too

[stable herald]

Its fine ender

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

Just be glad its a normal shiro

An abnormal shiro is like, "i just finished last season's animes"

[thorn briar]

[dusty adder]

Real

[trim swan]

should be 10

unless they released one in the past two days

[stable herald]

Spoiler

[dusty adder]

Nah its just a fanart

Its gojover

[thorn briar]

Stop

I thought he lived

[stable herald]

Oh

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

He lived

His infinity going to do the work

[thorn briar]

Didn't he say that you need to behead him to kill him

[stable herald]

Didnt toji beheaded him

[thorn briar]

No

[dusty adder]

A mans cope never dies

[thorn briar]

Gojo told him that he should have beheaded him so that he would die

[dusty adder]

If theres delusion, theres still hope

[trim swan]

stop with the spoilers

🛑

[dusty adder]

That aint real

[stable herald]

Oh hey mushoku new ch

[thorn briar]

I was already in delusions about dazai

[dusty adder]

Random doujin

[thorn briar]

[trim swan]

just stop

[dusty adder]

Aight

[trim swan]

good

[thorn briar]

People literally used physics and anatomy to actually prove that dazai was alive

[dusty adder]

[trim swan]

shiro

no spoilers

[thorn briar]

U read bsd

[trim swan]

I was caught up with anime

till they released a new season

[thorn briar]

Go watch it

[trim swan]

maybe after my exams

[thorn briar]

I only watched the last episodes of s5

[thorn briar]

Good luck

I'm reading no longer human which is written by dazai

And i feel like I'm reading myself

[stable herald]

Idc what i fuckin hate norn

Something fuckin wrong inside her head

Depression is worthy of her

[trim swan]

sometimes nomitter says such dumb things

[slender skiff]

Clearly you haven't read the latest few chapters then

[stable herald]

This hits hard

[slender skiff]

I feel like you missed the point about the whole chapter if you still hate her tbh

[stable herald]

This is the latest tho?

[slender skiff]

I mean the whole point of this arc

Was to explain why she had her issues

[stable herald]

Yes ik, but its just that her thought process angers me

[slender skiff]

Can you blame her tho

[stable herald]

Well this is accurate

Yeah, cant blame a dumb brat for being childish in her age

I have 4 siblings, can relate

Its like a war here

[slender skiff]

Yep
Rudeus later notes in his thoughts (next chapter) that she's much better than when compared to him

[thorn briar]

Wakasa's real name

[slender skiff]

Because unlike him who spent his whole life at rockbottom, and was never able to get out of it

And she was able to get out of it
On her own

[stable herald]

[thorn briar]

Wait what

She's also half Japanese

Wait this was his mistake

I thought his mistake was something bigger like he left an evidence

[silver robin]

yes u can tell from the name

[thorn briar]

Yeah

Actually some of the main characters in conan are half Japanese

[silver robin]

wao

[thorn briar]

Like haibara, amuro , elena and Mary

[stable herald]

OH SHIT, SO SHERLOCK HOLMES IS HALF JAPANESE

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

Well no

His descendants on the other hand...

https://anilist.co/character/30046/Aria-Holmes-Kanzaki

Kekw

[silver robin]

hidan no aria :omegalilwoo:

[stable herald]

Lmao

[thorn briar]

So this what his broken eye could see

Is this his right or left eye

I guess left

Thankfully he can't use it anymore

[stable herald]

YOU SICK BASTARD AAAAAAA

[thorn briar]

Wtf ,they put the guards in the bags

Oh wait

[stable herald]

Truly reminded me of a criminal murder case. Where a person got chop chop into pieces, got put into a luggage and got thrown next to a highway

Brutal

[thorn briar]

[stable herald]

Assuming there are alot of bags there...

Yeaaahhh

Its impossible to stuff a single person properly into that

[thorn briar]

There are 2 people who work under Rum

Pinga and curacao

Gin killed pinga in movie 26

And curacao died while she was saving people in movie 20

And I have a feeling that gin wants to kill Rum

[quasi vault]

YEAHHH RIPPPP

[flat cedar]

yeah they did well here

Its annoying how AL still doesnt have something cohearant

after 6 years

[slender skiff]

priorities am i right

[ivory mauve]

Any guesses on what type of creature that is

[slender skiff]

an evil elf

[echo quiver]

sometimes vampires get massive ears like that

because i guess bats are supposed to have big ears?

[ivory mauve]

It's actually a Goblin

A goblin king to be exact

[slender skiff]

I feel like the way the first panel is drawn rings a bell

[brittle hamlet]

Speaking of goblins, newest goblin slayer episode was rather brutal

[slender skiff]

...hold on, why tf does this resemble the shuiichin student council room

Aka pls stop giving designs to the authors you collaborate with

[slender skiff]

When is the series not brutal tho

[brittle hamlet]

well yes, but it wasnt even the action or anything

||Seeing the hands nailed to the chair somehow just got me||

[slender skiff]

GS tends to be grisly enough even with just descriptions of implications

I suppose one could argue it's edgy for the sake of being edgy

But eh there's only so many ways of making the environment seem disturbing

[brittle hamlet]

i like that it turned goblins into monsters instead of a meme

[slender skiff]

Especially in a book

With a visual medium tho

[brittle hamlet]

People say "Show dont tell" untill they are uncomfortable with what is shown i suppose

[slender skiff]

Though let's be real
S1 Ep1/Introduction was definitely done like that for the shock factor

That and, to introduce the viewer to the reality of the world

[brittle hamlet]

oh yeah definetly

fantastic marketing strategy tbh

[slender skiff]

No publicity is bad publicity huh

Tho I imagine
Had S1 released now
You'd see Twitter in a storm

[brittle hamlet]

This implies twitter wasnt in a storm when S1 released

[slender skiff]

A larger one I mean

[brittle hamlet]

it was like the most talked about anime when the first episode released

[slender skiff]

I shd watch s2

It's been a while since I read the LN

[brittle hamlet]

Its really good so far

[slender skiff]

After the s1 content I don't really remember much

[brittle hamlet]

I mean, all you really need to remember is that goblins are slain

[slender skiff]

Though

I do think we're gonna see this scene

[brittle hamlet]

Clearly a giraffe

[slender skiff]

I think we might at least
This is from vol 6

[brittle hamlet]

you can tell by the long neck

[slender skiff]

Wait shit I forgot what S1 even covered lmao

Because I clearly remember the anime skipping some bits

Or rather rearranging

Like S1 ends with them defending the farm

But that's the end of vol 1

Whereas the trip to the town with the sword maiden is in vol 2, when that's in the middle of s1

The part where this meme comes from iirc

[brittle hamlet]

I only watched the anime so im not sure what volume is what

all i know is that guild girl is best girl

[slender skiff]

I mean understandably

I mean my one quibble with this series is really

No one has proper names

[brittle hamlet]

i like that personally

[slender skiff]

I mean that's fine initially

But when you have a character named priestess

And a character named apprentice priestess

It can get confusing

Especially when you're reading like me

[brittle hamlet]

I do find it funny how one of them is literally called "Cow Girl"

[slender skiff]

I'm almost certain that's a translation fumble

But yes that's how it's translated in the LN

[slender skiff]

Well

That makes a little more sense

Tho it definitely sounds weird in english

[brittle hamlet]

Cow Girl is a lot better in English

[slender skiff]

On a side note

Priestess is smol

Wtf

148cm

[brittle hamlet]

Arent anime characters usually very smol

Guild Girl is 155

[slender skiff]

High Elf Archer and Cow Girl are around 165

[slender skiff]

I mean, in Japan sure

Considering it's set in a very western-ish location

[brittle hamlet]

Fair

its basically just DnD the anime

[slender skiff]

I actually have read a LN that's almost literally DnD

As in, DnD mechanics

And not just character setting stuff that Overlord takes inspiration from

[brittle hamlet]

well, GS has both dice rolls and spell limits

[slender skiff]

This one has those
Stat specs, action to earn said specs

Etc

It's basically a DnD fan's wet dream

[brittle hamlet]

oh so more like the characters are playing DnD?

[slender skiff]

Sadly it's quite underground

It is an isekai yes

[brittle hamlet]

ah

[slender skiff]

But the MC well

[brittle hamlet]

im not a fan of the "Game screen" isekais

[slender skiff]

It's not quite like that

Weirdly

It's more of, that's how the MC "interprets" the magic/skill system

Otherwise it's pretty much a bonafide fantasy

[brittle hamlet]

like the title is: "I was initially the weakest in a new world but then i used levels as a currency and became the strongest warrior in history"

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/manga/136341/TRPG-Player-ga-Isekai-de-Saikyou-Build-wo-Mezasu-Hendersonshi-no-Fukuin-wo/

Unfortunately manga doesn't have many chapters

Though I think the issue a lot of people have is that

[brittle hamlet]

well, i got the title almost right

[slender skiff]

It leans too much into the trpg stuff

Also though he has pulled off a lot of bullshit

Much like GS
They're strong but, they're not infallible

For better or worse

This series introduced me to the concept of trpg proper

[brittle hamlet]

i mean, the rating doesnt make it too intriguing

[slender skiff]

To be fair

There aren't many reviews

That and anilist makes no sense at times

What the fuck is the difference between mean and average even

[brittle hamlet]

someone needs to go back to math class eh?

[slender skiff]

I mean last I checked they're practically the same thing

Yes, the rating system employed here made me actually doubt my common sense

[brittle hamlet]

if you have 3 numbers, lets say 1, 2, and 10.
Then the average is 4,3 and the mean is 2

[slender skiff]

2's the median

Not mean

[brittle hamlet]

i hate esl

[slender skiff]

I did think they might have confused median and mean

But I highly doubt a bunch of people are giving it a 7.3 or 73% rating

[brittle hamlet]

there seems to be a difference between mean and average, but rather convoluted

[slender skiff]

https://myanimelist.net/manga/137668/TRPG_Player_ga_Isekai_Saikyou_Build_wo_Mezasu__Henderson-shi_no_Fukuin_wo

Well Mal puts it at 7.20

Go figure

[brittle hamlet]

which is almost exactly the same as anilist's mean

so seems about right

[slender skiff]

But yeah this series is the main reason I ever learnt and got interested in trpgs

[brittle hamlet]

Name is even longer than i originally thought

I might give it a try, but im not too into manga

[slender skiff]

I trust you know what Mr Henderson refers to

Manga only has 7 chapters fan TLed

[brittle hamlet]

I only know Mr. Andersson

[slender skiff]

It's probably the same thing

It's referring to the scale

[brittle hamlet]

oh, i was referring to

https://tenor.com/view/you-disappoint-me-agent-smith-hugo-weaving-the-matrix-tragic-gif-22197067

Also since you are the anime mod, you wouldnt happen to know if theres an anime with more western style mechs?

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately

Mecha is probably the one thing I'm not well versed in

[brittle hamlet]

damn it

[slender skiff]

But I do know we have our mecha experts here

Let me see if I remember who they are

[brittle hamlet]

i really like big robots, but all the mechas i have seen bar a couple look to much like toys

and to be fair, thats probably because they are

[slender skiff]

@frosty knoll @echo quiver @ivory mauve
#anime-manga message

we require your expertise

[brittle hamlet]

[ivory mauve]

Oh boy

Se have you heard of Front mission

[brittle hamlet]

I have not

[slender skiff]

the first guy i pinged has... very strong opinions about mecha anime, but he is no doubt an expert so

[ivory mauve]

I haven't found a horror mech series yet but there was something similar in g gundam

Oh wait

[echo quiver]

i dont watch mecha

[slender skiff]

why the hell do you have so many messages with the word mecha then

[echo quiver]

i hate eastern mecha

[ivory mauve]

There's sakura wars but that's a sega thing

[echo quiver]

so much so that i complain about it

[slender skiff]

we asking about eastern mecha that's more western here

[echo quiver]

wait, really

wowie

[ivory mauve]

Oh oh there's redeyes

[brittle hamlet]

i like big robots, but im not a huge fan of the "Zipping about" mechs

[echo quiver]

ok, im confused now. what's a western mech

[slender skiff]

...tokusatsu anyone

[brittle hamlet]

Bipedal tank

[echo quiver]

i was gonna say pacific rim b-

[slender skiff]

i was also gonna say pacific rim actually lmfao

[brittle hamlet]

pacific rim is like a fusion of western and eastern mecha'

[echo quiver]

bipedal...- oh, like armored core

yeah, you get me. i also want mecha like that

[slender skiff]

ironically, isn't code geass partly that

OF ALL THINGS

[echo quiver]

hmmmm. yeah, i dont know of any. japan likes to turn their weapons into extensions of the body

[ivory mauve]

Sort off

[brittle hamlet]

Here is a battletech image

[slender skiff]

oh you know what's hilarious aqua

the 2nd anime that came to my mind with bipedal tanks

is fucking mahouka/irregular

[echo quiver]

86 is actually kinda like that. probably watched it already tho

[slender skiff]

except it's LITERALLY for one arc

[brittle hamlet]

already watched 86 and read a few LNs

fantastic

though not really western mecha either

[ivory mauve]

Technically those are walkers

[slender skiff]

i asked google

it gave me code geass

piece of crap lmao

then it gave me ghost in the shell

[brittle hamlet]

i guess western mechas arent very popular in japan to be fair

[ivory mauve]

Gasaraki

[brittle hamlet]

so probably not a lot of push towards making something

[slender skiff]

and this series called appleseed
which is apparently made by the same guy who made GitS

[brittle hamlet]

Gasaraki looks interesting

mechs are cool

[brittle hamlet]

the fingers are unsettling

[slender skiff]

...wait

since when did tanya have mechas

or am i just forgetful

[ivory mauve]

You know there's a few Armored core mangas

[slender skiff]

vision of escaflowne

i wouldn't call a dragon a bipedal tank per se...

[brittle hamlet]

You know thinking about it MGS had some very western mechas

[slender skiff]

now it's giving me code lyoko

[ivory mauve]

Oh yeah

[slender skiff]

ok enough AI searching for one day

[ivory mauve]

There are some

[slender skiff]

...does it actually have some

wtf

ok i remember absolutely nothing about it

given i watched it when i was like 8

[ivory mauve]

Most of the enemies are drones and in the last season had vehicles

[slender skiff]

tho it's about as anime as ATLA and LOK are

[frosty knoll]

What the fuck is wrong with you

What in the fuck as wrong with you

[slender skiff]

[frosty knoll]

Western Mecha is cringe

[slender skiff]

i don't think he meant it in that way

[frosty knoll]

No identity

[slender skiff]

but more specifically

bipedals

[frosty knoll]

They’re just generic pods with limbs

Closest thing is Votoms

But that’s probably too “EaStErN”

Same thing for Dogram

[brittle hamlet]

holy shit calm down

the hell is wrong with you

[frosty knoll]

You insult the one thing keeping me sane, what’s wrong with you?

[brittle hamlet]

insult?

[slender skiff]

nah man

you do need to calm down

[frosty knoll]

Battletech stole so many fucking designs

[slender skiff]

good lord

[frosty knoll]

What?

I’m sick of people calling flimsy boxes with triple jointed knees and actuated cannons “realistic”

[brittle hamlet]

when did i use that word

stop projecting and behave like a person

[frosty knoll]

I am.

I was summoned to talk about Western mecha in anime

[brittle hamlet]

i didnt

[frosty knoll]

Ender did

[slender skiff]

that was me

[frosty knoll]

Dogram and Votoms.

[slender skiff]

and i just wanted to hear if you did have any recommendations
sorry if i offended you

[frosty knoll]

Maybe Layzner, but that’s probably too “Eastern”

Western mecha is offensive.

That entire field of mechanical design.

The Tiger I is bad.

The Panther is bad.

The T-34 is horribly built

[brittle hamlet]

because the east is known for good tanks?

[frosty knoll]

No

People act like German tanks were the best

[brittle hamlet]

ok

[frosty knoll]

Or that American tanks were the best

[brittle hamlet]

dont see how thats relevant

[frosty knoll]

Because Western mecha design is rooted in wargaming.

Which started with tanks

Western mecha treats mecha like tanks.

[brittle hamlet]

yes

[frosty knoll]

Which is fucking stupid

Tanks are tanks

A walking tank is useless

[ivory mauve]

Alright

This got out of hand

[thorn briar]

How are you here

[brittle hamlet]

prolly wont be again

[thorn briar]

I think I know why now

[zinc lance]

now that's a nostalgic name

[weak glacier]

L Take
Transformers and Pacific Rim (not the second) is W

HOLY SHIT

How did I forget Titanfall

Titanfall hands down better than any Gundam game

[ivory mauve]

Oh here we go again

[frosty knoll]

Transformers isn't mecha

[ivory mauve]

Please don't compare titanfall and gundam

[frosty knoll]

Pacific Rim is a stupid action movie

[weak glacier]

Man hasn't watched Pacific Rim bet

[frosty knoll]

A fun stupid action movie

[weak glacier]

So you admit it's good

[frosty knoll]

But not mecha by theme.

[weak glacier]

Oh it's mecha

[frosty knoll]

Nope

[weak glacier]

Yeh

[frosty knoll]

It just has mechs

It's not mecha by writing

[weak glacier]

It is mecha my guy

By your logic Gunbuster isn't mecha

[frosty knoll]

Gunbuster is by theme.

[ivory mauve]

Pffffff oh no

[weak glacier]

How much copium you snorted?

[frosty knoll]

I'm not the one who said Transformers was mecha

and Western

[weak glacier]

Bruh, you saying Pacific Rim isn't mecha

Which is the biggest L take

[frosty knoll]

It's not mecha

it's an action movie

with mechs

[weak glacier]

Aren't all mecha inclusive to action?

[ivory mauve]

No

[frosty knoll]

It's an all squares are rhombuses, but not all rhombuses are squares type deal

[weak glacier]

The director himself said it was mecha

[frosty knoll]

Tarantino is a fucking moron

Like, yes he makes some good fucking movies

[weak glacier]

You strike me as a Japanese apologist

[frosty knoll]

Nope

[thorn briar]

She knew him

[frosty knoll]

I am fully aware of Japan's warcrimes and degrading culture

[weak glacier]

Oh no, you just want Western media to be lesser than Japanese one

[ivory mauve]

Ffs Pacific rim is just a super robot movie

[frosty knoll]

Nope

Pacific Rim just isn't mecha

It's an action movie

with mechs

[zinc lance]

[frosty knoll]

How is that so hard to understand

[weak glacier]

That's cope

[zinc lance]

the fuq is this

[frosty knoll]

Frosty doesn't understand mecha

[weak glacier]

You haven't explained why it isn't mecha

[frosty knoll]

Because that would take several fucking hours?

[weak glacier]

You're whole agrument is "it's just mechas in a movie"

[frosty knoll]

It's like explaining D

Mecha is a genre

[weak glacier]

Would you consider Titanfall mecha?

[frosty knoll]

No.

It's a mech action shooter

[weak glacier]

Yeah, you don't know shit

[frosty knoll]

I like how their idea was just spheres with arms and legs

and some mobility mechanics

[weak glacier]

Don't insult Ion like that

He best boy and you know it

[frosty knoll]

and people acted like it was the greatest thing since sliced bread

[weak glacier]

I feel like you coming up with excuses to exclude western media from mecha genre

[frosty knoll]

Can't even hotkey the cores

[ivory mauve]

Don't insult Atlas like that

[frosty knoll]

Ronin, my beloved

[weak glacier]

Would you consider Robotech mecha?

[frosty knoll]

...

You

[ivory mauve]

....

[frosty knoll]

You're trolling

You have to be trolling

[weak glacier]

I'm testing you

[zinc lance]

hmmm mecha, breakblade comes to mind and a couple mangas tho i dunno if they are truly mecha

[frosty knoll]

Broken Blade?

[ivory mauve]

Oh that's a nice one

[weak glacier]

If you don't say Robotech isn't mecha, then you would've lost all credibility

[frosty knoll]

They took three and just stapled them together crudely

[zinc lance]

was it called broken blade? it's been so long

[frosty knoll]

I don't know

I have Broken Blade on DVD

Wouldn't surprise me if there was something completely unrelated called breakblade

[thorn briar]

Is gundam wings considered a mecha

[frosty knoll]

...

[ivory mauve]

It was a translation mistake

[zinc lance]

if i remember right it was more or less middle ages with mechs acting as siege weapons and fighting like knights

[frosty knoll]

It can't decide if it's real robot or super robot

[weak glacier]

Power Rangers might be considered mecha

[frosty knoll]

Panzer World Galient?

[thorn briar]

Power rangers

[weak glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/power-rangers-megazord-mmpr-mighty-morphin-power-rangers-fighting-stance-gif-26458838

[zinc lance]

do that one i don't know

[frosty knoll]

1984 mecha anime by Sunrise

[ivory mauve]

Isn't that an isekai

[frosty knoll]

one of the first uses of the chainsword

[frosty knoll]

No?

[zinc lance]

the protag had a mech with a "horn" on the head that looked like a broken blade

[frosty knoll]

Dunbine is an isekai

[ivory mauve]

Yes

[frosty knoll]

Dunbine, my beloved

[ivory mauve]

What was the one with the biological bettle mecha

[silver robin]

true

[frosty knoll]

Dunbine

Pretty sure

the aura battlers were biomechs, right?

[frosty knoll]

Attack On Titan

[weak glacier]

Biggest difference between Western and Japanese mecha is that Japanese treates mecha as whimsical creatures and Western is more grounded & weapons of war

[frosty knoll]

Frosty has never read Origin

and is clearly a Fukui apologist

[zinc lance]

ooh ye that one was it

[weak glacier]

I'm familar with gundam

I was gonna make Gundam the only major exception

But even still

[frosty knoll]

UC barring Unicorn

[ivory mauve]

Ya

[frosty knoll]

Votoms and Voltes V?

[weak glacier]

Haven't watched them yet

[frosty knoll]

Metal Armor Dragonar?

Sidonia?

[frosty knoll]

Granted, Sidonia has a level of fantasticalism, but like

[weak glacier]

Even still, if you look at the designs, they are closer to the human form than western

[frosty knoll]

it's a very different thing

[weak glacier]

You have the gorillia design is what I call it

[ivory mauve]

Anyone remember blue gender

[frosty knoll]

and most western designs look remarkably boring

[frosty knoll]

still need to watch that

I have it on DVD

but planning watch party with friend

[weak glacier]

"boring"

[ivory mauve]

From the votom creator

[frosty knoll]

clunky

[weak glacier]

"boring"

[frosty knoll]

overdesigned

[weak glacier]

Dude

[frosty knoll]

bruh

that is not a fair comparison

[weak glacier]

You forget what type of game Titanfall is

[frosty knoll]

A shitty Battletech ripoff?

[weak glacier]

So many L takes here

[frosty knoll]

but as a shooter

with movement mechanics
