Gundam Replacement Poll (Yeah, Again)
Added 2023-06-22 22:32:10 +0000 UTCPlease forgive me for experimenting. Let's try this a different way.
Without considering Gundam at all, please vote for which of these shows you would most like to see me watch and discuss.

I would love for you to finish Gundam until Char's Counterattack. CCA is basically the pinnacle of Gundam and the point where Tomino's idea of what Gundam really is fully matures, plus the most amazing animation in any of his previous works. However, the directing Ashita no Joe 2 is a complete masterpiece, from start to finish you will be in disbelief of what you are experiencing. Every single frame is like a painting. Finally, Karekano is an Anno classic. Like if you watch it, it would be like finding the missing link between the Evangelion and FLCL. It is that switch that made late Gainax into what it was, all thanks to the mad lad Anno himself.

2023-06-29 07:09:33 +0000 UTCJoe is a miracle series to this day, over 50 years old. If not now, it ought to be seen eventually. Ideon has ups and downs in its production, but is thoroughly unique in tone for its genre as is a Tomino show standard. Also culminates in one of the most satisfying animated movies I've ever seen.

2023-06-27 22:48:56 +0000 UTCI see (unsurprisingly although it makes me a bit sad) Ideon and Yamato (btw it's intended as the 70s series right?) being last and i imagine a little crying Anno watching this (yes there's one of his own series here, but we all know he'd still prefer one of his fanboy dream over any of his own lol) By the way Tee, since this seem to be the "old series block" (??) have you considered putting Versailles no Bara and possibly some Lupin the III (starting from part 1) in it?

2023-06-25 12:11:46 +0000 UTCMacross being a mecha show on a different trajectory compared to Gundam, would be the perfect replacement in my opinion

2023-06-24 03:33:36 +0000 UTCI vote for a "i want to watch x show so i will watch it" slot

2023-06-23 20:43:16 +0000 UTCI remember liking KareKano. I have no idea if it holds up.

2023-06-23 17:36:34 +0000 UTCNot really invested in any of those so I will let those who are vote it out.

2023-06-23 12:23:25 +0000 UTCWent with Ideon since I have yet to see anyone react to it. Another great suggestion would be Armored Trooper Votoms, imo probably the best "real robot" franchise out of the 80's.

2023-06-23 06:10:42 +0000 UTCAshita no Joe would be incredible, became my all time favorite. And there are no reactions of it whatsoever.

2023-06-23 05:44:43 +0000 UTCI would consider it. After all the manga is garbage and the anime is great. The mangaka was mad because the anime was had more comedy But the manga had garbage shoujo drama and (maga sploiler)..... ........... Arima for no reason is a rap*st in the manga Just like any shojo-manga male protagonistd are garbage human beings and you are supposed to support them or feel bad for them

2023-06-23 02:31:51 +0000 UTCYou're totally right, it shouldn't be framed as an anno original, wasn't my intent.
matthew bremmer
2023-06-23 00:09:43 +0000 UTCYou got a hell of an assortment here, would greatly enjoy a reaction series for any of these! My pick is Joe bc it's my all time, tho I'd want to give a heads up that there's content overlap between Joe 1 and Joe 2. Still recommend watching Joe 1 all the way through, just be aware Joe 2 starts at an earlier part in the story and not DIRECTLY after ep79 of Joe 1. It seems Macross might take it tho which I think would be fitting to take Gundam's slot...although you're opening yourself up to another massive franchise haha

2023-06-22 23:50:46 +0000 UTCIt's a manga adaptation fwiw, I wouldn't frame it as an Anno original
Caribou Coon
2023-06-22 23:45:25 +0000 UTCmacross - solely for the delta season so i can see the reactions you have to the glorified idol promotion songs
LAMPOON MAN
2023-06-22 23:34:14 +0000 UTCThe sequel too? If you only saw Megalo Box there's still hope in my heart for a Nomad reaction... someday.

2023-06-22 23:20:20 +0000 UTCKarekano was scripted and directed by Evangelion's Anno. That's enough for my vote. Word of warning towards the end the production quality goes ... pretty insane .. not in a good way at all.
matthew bremmer
2023-06-22 23:04:22 +0000 UTCPity this isn't a ranked poll! I'm equal for Yamato or Macross.
David Pulver
2023-06-22 22:58:01 +0000 UTCUnfortunately... I've seen Megalo Box! Part of why I want to go see Joe. I know it's got all those roots and I felt like I was missing something watching it.

2023-06-22 22:57:42 +0000 UTCIt is not so much that the meaning is strange, but rather that it is uncomfortable because I remember it with Japanese sounds.
iHatePiano
2023-06-22 22:54:14 +0000 UTCThe number one reason I would put in for Ashita no Joe here is to get Megalo Box + Nomad afterwards. It's one hell of a modern classic and all its own show even if it doesn't forget where it came from.
CodeMonkeysGuy
2023-06-22 22:48:29 +0000 UTCIt should be something like Space Time Fortress Macross, right? (Mostly using translators)
Teeaboo
2023-06-22 22:46:49 +0000 UTCI never dreamed that "時空要塞マクロス" was translated as "Super Dimension Fortress Macross." As a Japanese, I find it a bit strange.

2023-06-22 22:43:23 +0000 UTCIdeon as it's basically Eva before Eva

2023-06-22 22:42:10 +0000 UTCOh wow, would love for Karekano to win!
Volk
2023-06-22 22:41:25 +0000 UTCI have not seen any of these shows
LordFifth
2023-06-22 22:39:34 +0000 UTCOmg Karekano I think you would love it since you are liking Kaguya-sama And as something directed by Hideaki Anno it is something so different from the other things he has done
