Agreed, I like my mecha shows to be longer as well for the same reason. |

Mechs look interesting, but i'm sure they'll be using cgi so thats a huge turn off for me.
Guess i'll have to wait a couple more years for a decent gundam to get my hand drawn mecha fix. |

Holy shit! Hand drawn mecha!!!!
You don't see that too often anymore sadly. Some of the cuts used CG, but most of them didn't!!! I'm suddenly pretty excited about this

^ I've always had a kind of interest in watching Gundam stuff, but I never really am able to figure out the best initial point of attack. My friend showed me an episode of Gundam Unicorn, and it looked really cool, but also looked like it relied on some general Gundam understanding that I don't have.

Having knowledge of Gundam franchise isn't required to enjoy Gundam BF,some of the references can be amusing though.If you like your 2D mecha action scenes go and see BF,it has mecha animation Buddy Complex can only dream of.

yeah, Gundam Unicorn might not be a good entry point as it takes place within an established universe and not having some familiarity with UC would probably be a problem. Build Fighters is built on adoration for existing shows, so there is a lot of fanservice in that sense, but it in no way requires familiarity with them. If you want a more serious Gundam series, for the Universal Century timeline (which Unicorn is part of), you could start with the movie trilogy, just read a general plot summary of the original story and watch Zeta, or watch one of the other OVA series. I'd recommend 08th MS Team, which focuses on one tiny area of the war and doesn't require any broader knowledge of the universe. For Alternate Universe (AU) titles, if you're sticking with licensed titles, I'd say just go with Gundam SEED (but don't watch Destiny, the sequel) or Gundam 00. If you want super-robot style Gundam, watch G Gundam. If you're willing to watch fansubs, try Gundam X or Turn-A. |

GBF is still a dumb card game-esque show, but all of the awesome women and Gundam cameos in the series make it pretty nice to watch. Rinko's gonna be everywhere this Comiket.

Buddy Complex is making me nervous.
It looks so happy. Watch it end up being a brutal tearjerker like Valvrave. (Also don't complain about Valvrave until you watch the second season because it's amazing). But yeah, I hope Sunrise really is putting more female-targeted fanservice in their shows. If you look at the merchandise for Valvrave, you can tell it's targeted to fans who think L-elf is pretty, but like... is it too much to ask that in Akito pt 3, Akito and Suzaku both get shirtless scenes?
Speaking of which... Bizon. Yes. Favorite already. |

My budget off-season Sunrise mecha show couldn't possibly be this generic~

Am I looking at the same preview article as y'all are? I ask because normally comments about yaoi go hand-in-hand with character design featuring lithe dudes with sharp features, flowing hair and a general look of a Lord of the Rings-esque elf.
In this article all I see are a bunch of generically-drawn, young-looking dudes with no feature definition. They look like overgrown versions of the male stereotypes from kids' shows like Yugioh TBH. This is almost what I would call "male moeblob". Please fangirls, don't lower your standards (I guess after Hetalia's success I should have known that its artstyle would be sampled...). I'm asking in case I need to upgrade my "yaoi heuristic" as I am incapable of judging a male's "attractiveness" (I can't even conceptualize the concept) for myself, I have to rely on the fangirl-defined criteria to maintain awareness of any and all yaoi-fodder series. Looking at this art, something like Phi-brain could be yaoi fodder... |

Anyone have a legal streaming link to Buddy Complex?

Watched the first episode. It's the typical space invasion with MC piloting the mecha to fight for his home. Still, despite similarities with Valvrave, the white haired Dio showed more emotions than L-elf in the entire series, so there is room for characterization

Hey ANN, You're not supposed to Spolight the show unless someone streams it. Prehaps you should remove the spotlight because it has been not legally streaming. This is the first time that happend.
