#Super Robot

[fuckyeahinternetarchive]

In 2004 an anonymous fan made half hour reels of all the known intros to all known super robot and mecha anime that was known to exist. In 2010 they were copyright struck from YouTube.

All four reels are now back.

Ngl comparing powerups in getter robo to any other mecha show is hilarious.

Gurren lagan: Due to the power of the human spirit and this spaceship we just hijacked. We have become stronger both physically and as people.

Getter robo:

Why is it looking at me.

my (segmented) zine piece for holy shuggazine!, a celebration for the 20th anniversary of the debut of srmthfg.

this show was a catalyst and a major source of inspiration for my art journey, so it holds a special place in my heart. i'm truly grateful to be a part of this incredible project, and i'm truly grateful to ciro nieli for this incredible show.

Thought I'd try another method of weathering on one of my fav suits, the Gouf Custom, while working on my current comm :3333

While I am a hard sci-fi fan at heart, there is something special about a good old “I found this big robot in a junkyard and patched it up in my garage. It’s powered by antimatter, vacuum energy, blackholes, and my dad’s ghost. I’m gonna go use it to deck Yog-Sothoth right in the kisser.”

Just noticed this reply to an old post, and why are people still posting this "Eastern Mecha vs Western Mecha" bullshit?

The very foundation of the concept is simply racist (Eastern = fantastical & irrational, Western = realistic & practical) which should be reason enough to never use it.

In addition, when you look at the definitions of these terms, it becomes clear that they are being used as synonyms for the Super Robot/Real Robot categorization widely used to discuss mecha media without an inherently racist framing.

And finally, the discourse around these terms is so asinine that it should insult the intelligence of any self-respecting mecha fan. Peruse any discussion of these terms, and you'll find Japanese anime like Macross and Dougram being cited, in complete sincerity, as paragons of "Western Mecha".
