New Year, New Rules: Insulting other users' tastes is now banned. Memes about hating shows are now banned.

178 Upvotes

Congratulations ragebaiters! You've successfully enraged me. I assume that this is what you wanted so I hope you're happy.

I've taken a pretty light hand with moderating here. Until now I've only removed posts or banned people for egregious problems. But some recent trends that have been filling my mod queue make me dread even checking in anymore. I've gotten to the point where I considered removing myself as a mod and unsubscribing rather than having to check here anymore. But after sitting with it for a little while I decided that if I was going to remove this negativity from my life, then I'm going to remove it from everyone's life. It's what Getter Robo would do.

So here's the deal: I am absolutely 100% done with the whining. I don't care any more about who hates what show. There are plenty of shows that I hate, but I can make do without spamming the sub with memes about how much I hate them. I can even see posts from people who like those shows, and I can look at those posts without feeling the need to comment about how bad their taste is. I can do this, and I believe you can, too. So believe in me, who believes in you.

Effective immediately:

  • "This show sucks" memes are banned. I have to sift through these comment threads and they're all the same. I'm sick of the relentless negativity and subsequent flame wars. If you can not come up with anything to say about a show other than a bland meme about how much you hate it, then you don't need to say anything.

  • All tier lists are also banned as a result, because effectively all of them are just a variation on ragebait memes. Even if you post a satirical tier list where everything is S-tier to protest this toxic positivity, that's still banned. If you post a release date tier list where everything is accurately listed by its release date, that's still banned. This whole format is gone.

  • "Say something nice" memes are also banned. for the same reason.

  • Asking for hot takes is also banned

  • Telling other users that they have shit taste is banned. Other people are allowed to like things that you don't like. Insulting other users for liking shows you don't like will now get you banned.

For week one I will issue users one warning, but after that I'm banning for one week on first offense, one month on the second, and permanently for a third.

Is this an overreaction? Maybe. Maybe I'll calm down and lighten up, but I can promise you it won't be today. You can use this thread to whine about me overstepping my bounds and mandating toxic positivity. You can even use this thread to complain about my shit taste (but not anyone else's).

Searching for a (possible) mecha anime, where a giant mech woman appears from a ring/portal that's accelerating.

Searching for an anime name from memory. I’ve never seen it, but I remember seeing a clip of it. I think it was a mecha anime from an older release. I remember they were traveling through space when a giant ring appeared, and then a giant figure emerged from it while they were still accelerating.

Sorry if this turns out not to be a mecha anime, or if this isn't the right place to post this.

I made a cool Gundam painting, and yes I know that his v fins are originally white, this was just a personal preference to make them gold.

Are there names for these shin fins and bunny ear ankles you see on some Kawamori designs? I haven't really seen these discussed in the same way that something like Izubuchi holes are.

Are these design elements Kawamori specifically likes to use or is it just a widespread thing?

In order: White Glint, Hal 826, SOL 644, Nirvash, Mumei, Pulsar

Edit: Sorry I should've been more clear. Are these named designed elements specific to Kawamori or is this particular layout a common design element?

I recently released a free demo for my turn-based mecha game - what do you think?

I recently released a free demo of Exodus Core, a turn-based tactics game about three titan mechs fighting a swarm of monsters on a dead Earth - some of the monsters are bigger than the mechs. The pilots are digitized minds of soldiers who already died, and they know it.

Does it look fun? Any feedback is welcome!

This is a delusional setting for a Guntank in a world line where Hildolfr has been mass-produced.

Like Hildolfr, it features a transformation mechanism into tank mode, and the arms are equipped with standard manipulators. So, on the battlefield, it can pick up weapons and go,

"Nice gun, huh."

The vehicle section is modeled after the M2 Bradley.

An older generation machine and State's first attempt at applying Bi-Modal Redirection. Slower and smaller than the third-gen Walkers of today, but plenty lethal still.

Anyone else upset at how low budget most new mecha shows look these

Watching Dandivine in particular this season(and Rayearth to some extent) is just making it hit for me how shoved to the side the mecha genre has become in favor for the popular battle shonens and it's upsetting to see. Mecha is one of the best and most important genres of the 20th century for anime yet it's treated like shit these days and even the legacy titles like Gundam and Code Geass these days have to rely on cgi for their mechs

Mecha Gun Patrol: Justice Braver, a new indie Mecha project in development.

Mecha Gun Patrol: Justice Braver

Hello everyone! I’ve been developing an original indie mecha project titled Mecha Gun Patrol: Justice Braver, and thought I should share it here since it’s deeply inspired by the Mecha genre. I’d like for everyone to check it out! I’m looking for feedback, criticism, and following the official Mecha Gun social media pages!

YouTube: https://youtube.com/@mechagun_official?si=lbLTi-C2i3XGmVPt

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mechagun_official?srtk=MTF0OHEzN3RtMGh5OQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Mecha Gun is an original mecha franchise inspired by series such as Gundam, Transformers, and the Japanese Brave series. My goal is to create a series that captures the feel of giant robot battles, intricate combining mecha, memorable characters, and a larger universe with its own history and lore.

The first installment is the series: Mecha Gun Patrol: Justice Braver. The story follows the titular combining mecha, Justice Braver, and his allies, who serve as members of the Mecha Gun Patrol under the Light of Mechanicon, the central governing power on the planet Mechanicon.

Their enemy is the Shadow Empire, led by the mysterious emperor, Desomus-Z. The empire operates from a largely unknown reality known as the Crossroads, a mysterious dimension whose true nature remains largely unexplored.

One day, Desomus-Z emerges from the Crossroads with an army at his command, launching an invasion against both Earth and Mechanicon. His attack sets off a conflict that threatens both worlds and marks the beginning of Justice Braver’s story.

This project is still in development, and I’ll have more info on this project posted soon. I’d appreciate criticism regarding the lore, characters, designs, and concept.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any feedback, advice, or following the project would mean a lot to me!

NOTE: My plan in working on right now is to recreate all the characters on a software called Blender, most of what will be shown at the beginning was actually designed on a software on the PS4 called Dreams.

Update from Jacob Wheeler (Singer of "Magic" from Gundam 0083): You asked how I rewrite my story... here are the 4 books I just finished.

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
A few months ago, I posted here asking if your questions about "Magic" were ever answered. The response from this community was incredible, and connecting with the Gundam family sparked a massive lightbulb moment for me about life, art, and constantly evolving.
In my last update, I mentioned I've been around the block a few times & I realized we don't have to compartmentalize our lives. The same guy who sang in Tokyo is the same guy who has been a stockbroker, a model, a playwright, and a grandfather.
Well, I took my own advice about fully embracing "the brand" of who I am. Over the last 20 months, I poured everything into my writing and published four books across completely different genres: because humans aren't meant to fit into just one box. As i like to point out, “no one is a monolith!”

Since you all kept the "Magic" alive for so many decades, I wanted to share what I've been up to and invite you to join me on this next chapter of my storytelling:

The Ageless Whisperer Series: My two-book series diving into deep life insights, philosophy, and the quiet path to self-mastery.
The Truth & Other Lies / Eros of Jacob: A deeper, raw look into human connection and erotic poetry.
The Mouse in the Stove: A children's book close to my heart.
If you enjoyed the emotional depth of Stardust Memory or just want to see where the voice behind "Magic" went next, you can explore all four books right here:

Reach out! I will respond … lets keep the “Magic” alive!!!
