Count to a Million

Well, well done you then Black. :p Though RRP was originally £90 if I remember, and they go for more now so I don't feel too hard done by.

I agree with hidden meanings absolutely Black. If something has a deeper meaning it should at least be apparent what it *is*. That's why I like Mamoru Oshii's films (there Voddas - Happy now it's about anime again? :p). I can see what he was getting at, what his point was, and it doesn't wreck the story either.
 
12876 *as tach leaves, sets fire to the rear most sackboy and watches as it spreads* Later Tach :p

@Voddas: Sorry about :p

@Ayase: Yep though when you think about it even shows like Gundam Seed are to do with racism at a level. You'll have to send me some of your stuff some time so i can take a gander, Tach is reading through one of mine at the moment (when he remembers and when his work isn't too hectic that is)
 
12877

Will do that sometime Black. I'll get on MSN too, I've just been neglecting it (apart from the move I've been anime watching and writing that I don't really want disturbing during).

Those kind of meanings you can see though. I'm on about people reading stuff into things that just isn't there through over-analysis. I partly blame the creators for this for not nipping it in the bud and saying "No, I never intended it to have that meaning".

There's quite a few animes based on the theme of racism (or bloods). Sky Blue as an example. It's always the same atgument. We're all the same but we'll fight about it anyway.

See ya Tachi!! *watches Tachi role out on fire*
 
12878 true that

@Ayase, yeah Eva was a prime example of that (well not the ending i guess since there was meaning in that) There are others as well but i can't think of them at the moment

I normally write late one, try to get a page done at least a day (i'm yet to write a single chapter in a day and if i could do that and it was at a good quality then i would be really happy)

Now for some anime themed discussion, i think we should have a mecha battle thread :p
 
12879

Ok! Right, lets compile a list of mecha to vote for. Probably best to go for popular ones rather than powerful and stick to one mech per francise. My first suggestions:

Gundam RX-78-2 - MSG
Mazinger Z - er, Mazinger Z
AV-98 Ingram - Patlabor
 
12880 should we sticking to real robots or super robots or a mixture of both ala Super Robot Wars, also you said one mecha per franchise so does that mean that the old RX-78-2 is repesenting all of Gundam?

till those are answered here's some more

Big O - The Big O

GaiGaoGar - King of Braves GaoGaiGar (or the Brave series)

Rahxephon - Rahxephon

VF-1A Valkyrie - Super Dimensonal Fortress Macross

Arablest - Full Metal Panic!

Jehuty (or if anime only Dolores) - Zone of the Enders
 
12881

D'you think the Zeta would fare better for Gundam Black? Or an even newer model? I would have thought the RX-78 would be the most recognisable popular Gundam but maybe not.

Mix super and Real. Where do we draw the line? Instead why not have a "Hero Mech Battle" and a "Villain Mech Battle"?

Also:
Gunbuster - Gunbuster

*stops frozen halfway through leaving head sinking into shoulders and 1 leg risen*

ok ok you got me.....nah seriously I would'nt consider FMP a mech, not like Raxephon and Gundam, its nothing as heavy as that

EDIT: Also considering I have a Kaname Chidori tattoo I better say I like mecha a little bit haha :p
 
12,885
WAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!
*wipes tears from eye*

Wait... what we talking about? :?

Oh... I see. I think that's a good idea.

Laggen - Toppa Gurren Laggen :thumb:
 
12886

But it contains Giant RobotsTM right? :p

TBH I know very little about FMP (other than that it's very popular and has schoolgirls, soldiers and Mecha) so fair enough.
 
12887 its not a mecha show as such but it has giant robots in it so for the purposes of this battle it counts :p

well we could open it up to three or four mecha from a franchise and then seperate them into brackets (this allows for a villan mecha to be included in the mix so we can have best villain fights)

this is a wild card suggestion since i'm not sure if it would count or not

Star Saber - Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (yes that is what Transformers was called in japan, Victory was the third japan exclusive tv show)

Ideon - Space Runaway Ideon
 
12888

I see... so you're going for an all-out battle with rounds and everything? Ok, Cool...

Villains:
Griffon - Patlabor
AMX-004 Qubeley - Zeta Gundam

I suppose we should have Char's Zaku II but I've always thought Zakus look crap. I'd rather have his Sazabi from CC.

:lol: They love their over the top titles in Japan don't they?
 
12889

*rolls in as wheels pop and the chair falls apart*

*looking chargrilled*

okay who's the smart arse?

:p

*throws his mecha into the works*

Metal gear rex (ftw and you know it)
Mooing Gekko
Tachikoma

them alone: the end of the world
 
12889 lol :lol:

It would make it more fun.

villains

King J-Der - King of Braves GaoGaiGar (not a villain as such but he is the main characters rival, and the other choice for enemy would be zonders and the Z Master which may be a bit unbalanced)
Anubis (or anime only Hathor) - Zone of the Enders
Big Duo - The Big O

EDIT: Tach Metal Gear Rex wouldn't stand a chance against Hideo's other mecha creation Jehuty, the second i don't know and Tachikoma's are a bit on the small side though are perfect match for Balls (the feddy's mass production cannon fodd- i mean, mobile suits)
 
12892 Also Tach i don't know what you're talking about...*throws lighter outside unaware about the mass of sackboys outside*

Okay i think we're going to have to regin this in a little otherwise next we'll be throwing in Haro's to do battle with Mazinkaiser
