OK, post your favorite and/or awesome robot clips here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSYmkexfyAE&fmt=18 BGM is Trombe! it means Tornado in German http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJYkmGQCSeQ&fmt=18
The Gurren Lagan stuff is pretty neat, can't wait till it gets put into a Super Robot Wars game. Also, Super Robot Wars K (for the DS) has the weakest lineup EVER. Zoids? Seriously Japan? Couldn't find any robot show thats more deserving than Zoids? At least it has Godannar and Jeeg, but Gundam Seed is still there. They couldn't have put Gundam 00 there? Speaking of Super Robot Taisen (Wars) everyone go buy Super Robot Wars W for the DS, its freaking awesome. Gao Gai Gar + Getter Robo + Mazinkaizer + Full Metal Panic = Awesome.
Seriously guys, whats so cool about J-Der? I was told of how awesome that guy was, but he never did anything which impressed me all that much. I mean, its a battleship which turned into a robot, why was something more awesome not done with that?!
*grumble* I'm just still annoyed I watched all of GaoGaiGar waiting for it to good, and only found the last 10 eps enjoyable...

I am yet to watch Godannar. I guess I will buy it once I have enough money and time. But, I have to say that a show that uses almost the same final attack as The Big O can't be that bad. Also, this is what it means to be manly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UyDgMuVw5E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-6-jgOSGPw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6G84vg8qA08 I do not know about this one though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi9f_IbAvIQ This not manly for obvious reasons but is hotblooded and sexy in many ways http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLFCbAXA1I4 Ryoma is so awesome he does not need a Ph.D to fix a giant robot in the moon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl6XDT6X_Ak MUSASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MclIDbyRUH4 Also, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAec-jyYmTY You are welcome
I still don't understand how GaoGaiGar isn't good from the beginning. Also Waaaah, fanservice in my animu. How dare they have scantily clad women in my cartoons!
[quote="David D."]I still don't understand how GaoGaiGar isn't good from the beginning. Annoying kid characters, boring villains, annoying kid characters, dull mecha fights, REALLY annoying kids characters.
Atleast the kids were kinda written out by the end, but the action still wasn't much to write home about (mainly because of how Lame the villains looked.) And the characters were more cute than manly. Its just not what I want out of super robot show, especially when I can watch a 13 episode OVA with better fight scenes, manlier speaches and no annoying kids.
IAmZim: Fair enough. I guess I differ in that I barely payed attention to the kids and I actually think the fights are really, really good. Also, robot shows with non-retarded looking bad guys are a rarity. The Getter Robo OVAs had good monster designs because they were 6-13 episodes. Try watching the original series and see how good the monsters are when they have to pump one out every week.
I think you're overlooking the key point of GGG: to sell toys to children. Also, fuck your complaining, if a Show takes awhile to get good then just watch from that point on; Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained, bitches.
The villains designs are generally worse, I guess I'm just more forgiving to those older shows since they're often so absurd they're awesome! [quote="BrokenMagnum"]Also, fuck your complaining, if a Show takes awhile to get good then just watch from that point on; Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained, bitches. Yeaaah, if I have to skip that many episodes to enjoy it, then its not a show I'm like. Besides, the only parts I found enjoyable were 20-25 and the last 10 eps... And thats not worth it. The only reason why I'm complaining is because people seem to treat GGG like a rite of passage, I'm sick of people thinking its impossible to like Super Robot shows if you don't chronically masturbate to GaoGaiGar.
A 50+ episode show is understandable, but with the mass produced 13 or 26 episode show skipping to the good part doesn't seem that big of a deal. I'm really just speaking in general, but people need to not be pussies about shows they don't like and just say they sucks.
Its children's television show. Get over it, it not a big deal. You guys aren't the primary demographic, whether or not you like it is incidental.
I've decided to revive this thread as a means for me to post thousands of robot show/game themes regardless of what you guys think. Variable Formation Flapper Girl
Hey, Japan. We spend so much time complaining about the crappy crap you make, that it's easy to forget some of the awesome stuff you do. Like making life-size giant robot models. That's pretty awesome.

Andrew W.K... covering a Japanese song from the old Gundam movies? Consider my mind blown. That is crazy and awesome. It's a pretty good cover too. Gonna have to track down that album.
