    Yeah, but there are different kinds of anime that can sitafy the need of people who want overly complicated plot. I'd like it to stop changing my robot shows.

    They're not your robot shows.
    I'm sorry, They need to stop changing a genre intended for males, and changing it into a genre for females only. I don' even understand how any guy could watch something like Gundam 00. it reeks of "Fangirl Pride" as it were.

    They're not turning it into a genre for females only, you just think they are because you're some sort of weird asexual social pariah with the brain of a fruit fly.

    Can you honestly look at this ED, and tell me they weren't trying to please their new fanbase?

    That's some grade-A gender-essentialism. So since my favorite giant-robot franchise is also one that BadKitty likes, does that mean that I'm transgendered?

    No, of course I can't, becuse they ARE trying to please their new fanbase.

    You seem to be unable to grasp the fact that diffrent elements of a show can be aimed at pleasing different demographics so as to maximize th amount of viewers a show gets.

    also yeah you're coming off as a misogynist douchebag thnks to how poorly you word your arguments.

    Irrelevant. If giant robots are a genre for males unless you think they have too much t&a or you don't like their mechanical design, in which case they are for girls, one of us is having some gender-confusion going on. Am I flamboyant or is BadKitty butch? Or was that just a stupid comment for you to make in the first place?

    I'd like to see a Mecha anime which is similar to Dawson's Creek or Beverly Hills 90210 with a lot of sexy drama between robots that are aware of their own existence. It could be called Dawson's Bleak and it could be very dark and angst ridden and the big Optimus Prime-like robot could fall in love with his best robot-friends robot girlfriend but then around the 7th or 8th episode we'd find out that the girl has always had a crush on the main, big robot and they have an affair, grinding against each other in the garage, until the friend busts in on them but then in the 15th episode he finds out he's gay. It would be Robo-Yaoi from then on.

    They're not taking over.

    What fangirls are taking over Gundam? Or anything? Do they have a movement? Do they plan and plot in secret?

    No. But you don't seem to understand that fangirls have nothing to do with it other than the fact that they are an audience executives are trying to branch out to.

    They're not doing anything. The people who make the shows, and who have nothing to do with these fangirls, are doing shit.

    But you're too soft in the head to realize this.

    Also stupid. None of the above hobbies are natively healthy nor unhealthy, either one can be a device used to promote the growth of unhealthy attitudes and worldviews, and either one can be used as a substitute for real interaction. In either of those cases, all four of those things are unhealthy. There's also the question of how much of your assets you devote to a hobby. If you spend more each month on model kits and dolls than you spend on rent, you are likely doing it wrong.

    I wouldn't have so much of a problem if the makers of the show could please both! as much as they work on the character relationship and making the characters pretty, I'd like for them to work as hard on the mecha design and battle setpieces.

    nothing in Gundam 00 I've seen even compared to even the most basic Battle from Gundam X.

    Because having pretty boys and character developement and complex plot or whatever gives them a free pass to suck at the Mecha design and battles?

    Clawshrimpy, give me your honest opinion.

    I'm a fan of the shoulder design. The chestplate is pretty stylish, drawing attention to the faction emblem without being over the top. And the bulkiness of both of these creates a nice, refreshing contrast with the slender arms which tress out to match the rest of the design.

    Your thoughts?

  • Because having pretty boys and character developement and complex plot or whatever gives them a free pass to suck at the Mecha design and battles?

    No, they just don't owe you anything. Your definitions of accepability are so limiting that no one would like the shows you want them to be except you. Broaden your horizons or don't, either way no one cares what you think about any of these shows.

    It's allright I suppose. have no idea what show it's from so I can't really pass judgement.


    anyway,, I generally hate fangirls for this kind of attitude.

    Has it occurred to you that this particular show, while having mecha, isn't about the mecha?
    SO it's Code Geass. They've turned Gundam into Code Geass. this proves my point and makes my resolve for my arguement stronger.
    It's not binary is the point. Yes, there's giant robots. Yes, they play an important part. No, it's not important enough to meet your fanboyish design requirements.

    If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.

    Code Geass isn't the only show that does these things you tremendous retard. It wasn't the first by ANY stretch.

    You know what shows were about the mechs? SEED and Destiny. You know which shows were about characters more than the mechs? Turn A Gundam and the UC Gundams. Also VOTOMS.

    You have a fantastically illogical double standard.

    Yeah, SEED was about Mechs. Terrible mechs. also UC and Turn A actually, you know, did the story/characters thing well, and wen you did get some mecha action, you got it in spades. go watch Char's Counterattack, or the Gouf Custom Battle in 08th MS.
