“I’d like to talk to this person” #107 - Chiaki Morosawa (From Animage Vol.358 (April 2008)

The first of four Morosawa interviews that Ri commissioned me to translate! Not much SEED talk in this one, but it's insightful on her history and they talk about Cyber Formula and Dendoh a lot

fic writers' self rec

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love 💞

tagged by @candidateofloyalty (thanks for the tag!)

the fairytales we tell ourselves: the one where Anthy comments on the current crop of duelists. listen. I love my girl Anthy. i love her bitching about the duelists and their problems, which must seem so insignificant compared to hers

courtship for fools: the one where Class 78 weigh in on the developing Ishimondo relationship. Outsider POV is one of my favorite fic tropes, mostly because I am interested in playing with different perspectives while still having a central plot, and it was so fun to explore what makes each POV character tick + how to frame Ishimondo's developing relationship through their classmates' eyes! I also think this is the funniest thing i've ever written

the false knight: the one where I flesh out Hokuto's false memories when he was being brainwashed. not to toot my own horn, but I did a damn good job at expanding on the lore and building atmosphere (also, there are only 3 fics for GEAR Fighter Dendoh on AO3, and this is one of them lol)

the one where two gods wearing pointy ocular shields strife in the woods: the one where Terezi and Dirk have a friendly spar to take their mind off things, set shortly after Act 7. i haven't kept up with the new stuff and have no interest in it, i just think these characters could have an interesting dynamic and i think i nailed it

the multitude an ocean: the one where i try to flesh out Cass and the House Pelagios siblings over the years, and made up lore about Apostolos culture. there wasn't a lot of canon info on Apostolos back then, so i had fun extrapolating how it could work from a line from the Counter/weight postmortem

gonna tag @obstinaterixatrix and @dragonomatopoeia, plus whoever else wants to give this a spin!

There is something really special, magical even, in finding out one of my favourite childhood anime Gear Fighter Dendoh, and my favourite iteration of the Sentai Series - Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, involved scripts written by the very same PGSM's screen writer - Kobayashi Yasuko.

ANNNNDDDDD....

My two favourite female characters from the collective mecha series I've watched: Vega/Orie Kusanagi (Dendoh) and Murrue Ramius (Mobile Suits Gundam SEED series) are both voiced by Mitsuishi Kotono (Usagi's anime VA)....

I just randomly found out both sets of facts when I decided to do some googling because I was rewatching Dendoh and I swear I saw their name in the credits of the OP/ED.

My mind was completely blown....

Super Robot Rollcall: The GEAR Fighters

Ginga Izumo

"The universe doesn't need no 'king'!"

Source Material: GEAR Fighter Dendoh Age: 11 Birthday: May 5th Height: 145 cm Hobbies: Watching anime Voice Actress: Youko Mitsuoka Character Designer: Hirokazu Hisayuki

A little boy who enjoys practicing karate at his mother's dojo, playing sports, watching anime, and idol bands... until one day, through a series of convoluted events, he finds himself alongside a classmate he can't stand in the cockpit of a mysterious robot! A story as old a time.

As 11-yos often do, the two very quickly conciliate their differences and become friends.

His dad is often travelling around the world, but he doesn't really miss him, because he tends to bring the customs of wherever he last went along whenever he comes to visit, which tends to cause a lot of embarrassment for Ginga...

Compared to Hokuto, Ginga has better Melee, Defense and Skill. All around, both of them have fairly good stats, but defensively they're not so impressive.

Hokuto Kusanagi

"This isn't some sports match! We can't just say 'oh well, i lost!' and go home!!"

Source Material: GEAR Fighter Dendoh Age: 11 Birthday: July 7th Height: 147 cm Hobbies: Watching anime, playing billiards and football, building plastic models Voice Actress: Naomi Shindou Character Designer: Hirokazu Hisayuki

A timid boy who enjoys spending time with his parents, with his computer, with plastic models, and most of all, with his beloved dog. One day, the Galfa Empire attacks his town, and in the commotion, he ends up in the cockpit of the Dendoh alongside a classmate he can't stand!

As 11-yos often do, the two very quickly conciliate their differences and become friends.

Lately, his duties as a Dendoh pilot have been getting in the way of his personal life. He's no Peter Parker, but he finds himself having less time to spend with his dad, and his mom seems so distant recently...

Compared to Ginga, Hokuto has better Ranged, Accuracy and Evasion. They're both fairly competent in terms of statline, but even though i like Hokuto more, it's kind of a fact that Ginga's a better pilot in a vaccuum. Still, you'll be shifting between them many times a stage if you're deploying them anyway.

GEAR Fighter Dendoh

Source Material: Gear Fighter Dendoh Height: 24.5 meters Power Source: double a batteries 2 Hyper Dendoh Batteries Real World Designer: Jun'ichi Akutsu

A mysterious robot that can only be controlled when both Gear Commanders (in essence, control units) light up, which only happens when Dendoh itself judges the pilots to be worthy. The Gear Commanders allow the pilots to catch "Data Weapons", large bioelectrical cryptids who become weapons for the Dendoh, powering it up.

In other words, it's the closest SRW will ever have to a "summoner" type character, which (combined with how great the show is) really endears me to this thing.

We get the Dendoh with the Unicorn Drill already acquired, and shifting to it will swap the pilot to Hokuto. Unicorn Drill grants us Fire Wall, a decent barrier ability, and most importantly, having a Data Weapon grants the Dendoh the ability to use the Final Attack, a move that deals more damage the more EN the Dendoh has remaining, but that will always leave it with only 10 EN remaining. As of right now, we have no way of refilling Dendoh's EN without putting it back in the ship (which will RAPIDLY drain the pilots' Will, especially in R), and all of its moves spend at least a little bit of EN, and most spend quite a bit. As such, the Dendoh is a potentially VERY powerful unit, but it requires wise utilization, and i find it to be one of the most fun and rewarding units to use in the game.

Both forms are clearly meant to be Super Robots, but have fairly unimpressive HP and Armor. Unicorn Drill's Fire Wall will prove very useful to us in the future.

Vega

"Rushing in blindly out of rage is the same as admitting defeat."

Source Material: GEAR Fighter Dendoh Age: ??? Birthday: ??? Voice Actress: Kotono Mitsuishi Character Designer: Hirokazu Hisayuki

The mysterious second in command at GEAR HQ. She finds herself tasked with taking care of the Dendoh's young pilots, and she's quite adept at her job. She's extensively trained in CQC, and can fight beyond the limits of a normal human, demonstrating superhuman abilities at multiple points.

For whatever reason, she sometimes finds herself uncomfortable around Hokuto.

You would be excused if you thought she was a support unit, but make no mistake, Vega is a real robot pilot geared to be dealing damage through and through. Her stats are all quite decent, and her Spirit learnset does not disappoint either.

Valkyrie

Source Material: Gear Fighter Dendoh Real World Designer: Jun'ichi Akutsu

Vega's specialized combat bike. It's loaded with missiles and various lightweight CQC weapons that make use of Vega's fantastical skillset. So long as they're on the ground, Vega can stand up even against Mobile Suits, Mechabeasts and the like.

It can also hover above water, although "hover" may be an incorrect way of putting it; rather, it's capable of driving atop water.

It's no powerhouse, but this thing can actually put in some work. It's nigh impossible to hit (especially with upgrades to its Mobility), and while it'll never hit quite as hard as a dedicated combat unit, it can hit hard enough thanks to Vega's stats.

The true draw of this thing, however, is that it shares upgrades 1 to 1 with another unit we'll get much later, and that other unit can be piloted by other characters. If you really want to, you can pump upgrades into this machine and get two competent machines to decently upgraded levels for the cost of one.

Gear Fighter Dendoh (Um ótimo jogo de AÇÃO à moda antiga ) # 02

Gear Fighter Dendoh OP W Infinity AI 4K (MAD) (Memories series)

[diamond-is-sparkling]

Okay, so the thing about this is that there are multiple branches of mecha, with some of those branches overlapping with magical girls... depending on how you look at it.

For example, I was about to write off Real Robot as having no overlap with magical girls, but the problem there is that Macross is a real robot franchise that involves plot elements like facing space vampires with rock music, so it has overlap with the idol subgenre of the magical girl genre.

For the sake of conciseness, however, I’ll argue the main kind of mecha that would have overlap with magical girls would specifically be the Yuusha franchise and its predecessors and successors.

The first Yuusha entry, Exkaiser, for example, is about space cops fighting against a group of space pirates called Geisters. Within the first episode, their conflict is brought to Earth, where the Geisters develop the (mis)understanding human civilization is filled with countless treasures (i.e., cameras, cigarettes, dogs, etc.). Wanting to these treasures, the Geisters deploy devices to turn objects into MotWs, which Exkaiser defeats with the power of THE PROPHECY burning friendship. You know, like DeliPre.

I mentioned that some of the Yuusha franchise’s predecessors also overlap with the magical girl genre. A specific example would be Mashin Hero Wataru.

Wataru is a show about a boy coming of age in a world of whimsical fantasy while purifying the world of literal corruption, something that’s pretty frequent in magical girl stories.

Then there’s also the Yuusha franchise’s successors such as Gear Fighter Dendoh:

And then more recently, there’s the Shinkalion franchise

If you look at any of these shows, you’ll find a lot of overlap with magical girls.

I don’t know if you can say the mecha genre as a whole pairs with the magical girl genre, but the coming of age super robot shows often mirror the type of elements you see in a magical girl show.

im curious, where do u think mecha anime would fall on the family tree? it has always felt to me like a relative of the magical girl genre, and they both definitely have their roots in toku and kaiju

i feel like they're like a brother and a lot of themes are shared between the genres. i often see ppl compare mg to mech themes but my husband knows way more about mecha than i do

@diamond-is-sparkling the people want answers
