Official Derailed thread... Wait, what?

Is this real? if so I would watch the shit out of that.

 

We need this. ASAP

 

Go Empire! Destroy the traitorous rebels! Show them the price of their insolence!

Now I'm going to have to buy TIE Fighter.

 

Are you still mad about the fish?

 

There's a story there.

 

The guy who made this, and the guy who made the Doctor Who anime linked, are the same person. OtaKing77077 on youtube. He has a whole bunch of other retro animations he made up there. The star wars one is down I think, it's not completed. Someone else posted it and he got upset or somesuch story, I don't remember I read about it a long time ago. Hopefully he finishes tha animation, or gets hired by ANYONE to make a proper 80's star wars anime featuring a rough team of Imperial pilots in the years leading up to Episode 4. Sort of a lawful evil perspective on the Universe. "Yea were 'bad guys' but we're bringing fukkin law and order to the galaxy." There was a gundam series like that focusing on a Zeon group of pilots, and I always thought the concept would be just as interesting applied to any other franchise. Show us the other side of the war.

 

Gundam 0080 war in the pocket. Now I'm sad. Thanks. It's the best gundam of the whole lot

 

you mean we need an actual star wars anime? not those crappy (to be honest they are okay) kids cartoons. which i always feel like they are rushed. probably because they try to do one "story" per episode where animes are one story per multiple episodes or season. I think an anime (or least anime style) star wars show would do a hell of alot better.

 

that one is one of my favorites. along with 8th ms team I think those two are the best simply because they are more real world. though the various igloo series are pretty good to. not as good.

 

Well let us hope Disney does what it does with all franchises it buys, make a shit load of cartoons some of which are ok.

Holy fucking shit, I will execute everyone I encounter for treason for not telling me earlier about existence of something so incomprehensibly amazing.

This is just unbelievable. I am sad and anxious because it ended and I just recognized that I need to spend several minutes trying to find more and I'm intimidated by the frightful thought that there might not be more. I need more.

 

I want to lose my memory of 8th MS Team just so I can rewatch it anew. I really love stories and such that are more 'yea, this could be' than "And then I tossed Moon, but he, he hopped on a flying unicorn and splitted it in half and threw Jupiter at me! It almost got difficult at that point!".

Fucking super weapon < mega super weapon < anti-mega super weapon < hyper weapon < ... bullshit. Ok, Seed was nice even though the supersupersuper super started eating it away, the idea of escalation leading to more escalation and eventually mutual destruction was nice and saved a lot of it, though it would've been more credible as a "oh, they wouldn't dare, shit, they do, we'll show them that we're crazy to make them back off now" instead of "we're upping the energy throughput of our vehicles by an order of magnitude every 3 weeks".

/Rant

Now, going to go watch 0080 and it's going to be one of the best shows ever if it comes even close to 8th MS.

 

0080 war in the pocket is much better than the 8th MS team.

 

Or how the MC who had no combat training could hold off 4 suits with the same level of tech and were piloted by "superior" genetically modified humans who were trained? at least in the original series amuro could hold off the zakus because the rx-78 was so much more powerful. and he was only fighting 2 of them.

now saying that; seed is still one of my favorites (not in the best category) but i think it's more the art, animation and songs. and kira is not as annoying as alot of the other series main characters. like the zeta and double zeta. holy shit were they annoying.

 

Spoiler: don't click link if at work. just awkward.

Yea, I always considered the 'lower performing' mechs to actually limit the capabilities of their users because they are so massive and have such inertia which cap the potential of the pilot and even the playing field against the best elite of normal humans. I also always thought that nothing inherently stopped one in a billion normal humans from being incredibly good at one thing like piloting a mech, so much so that he'd be able to surpass many who were genetically engineered if you work under the assumption that genetic engineering and knowledge of biology are not 'ultimate' and that there's still room for improvement and maybe things like life experiences also played a role.

So yea, with heavy machinery the power throughput is probably the most important single factor and can be far more important factor than pilot skill/potential. If one machine has acceleration of 5m/s and another has of 50m/s it's not going to matter a lot how good the slower machine's pilot is if the faster machine's pilot has any competency at all, it's not just about the acceleration either but I'm just trying to make a case showing the difference in energy levels that can almost directly translate to capacity for destruction.
