some of the pictures were really cool with the mechas,

but some, like the sistien chapple, were stupid. but needless to say, there are some creative things in there.

Quite interresting mixing of traditional art and famous anime mecha Smile. Some of them are from Battletech I think. Liked the one with Evangelion Unit 1 and the clocks. The original painting was made by Salvador Dali if my memory serves me correctly.

The ones that I really noticed were the ones from EVA, and Robotech. Also, my least favorite phriday.

That one image with Abraham Lincoln was just plain wrong. I have got to see more mecha series because I hardly recognized any of them.

the website delivers what it promises: "something awful"





my personal favourite from there is that painting of some guy onthe horse inspecting the troops and they added the Zakus in the background Very Happy

I do not know why they named it "something awful" because I thing that most of those pictures were well done. I especially liked the one with the mechs reflecting in the water.

Just read their daily updates on the front page, and you'll know why they're called "Something Awful".
