#0, A few mecha related observations
Posted by GethN7 on May-24-14 at 01:26 AM
Just got finished reading Symphony 4, Part 2, and I noticed a few mecha related things I wanted to comment on:

1. I applaud the amount of homework that went into the Heterodyne knockoffs made by Big Fire. Having seen Dai-Guard, that was pretty cool.

2. Took me a little bit to realize that Kozue was piloting the Getter Robo G, and that was because the name of the second unit is wrong. It's "Getter Liger", not "Getter Ryger".

3. Being someone who was at best tolerant of Robotech and prefers Macross (though some of the names from Robotech are much better and a lot easier to pronounce, especially for the Zentradi), I found it a bit hard to follow the Macross/Robotech stuff since terms from both are thrown around so much.

Overall though, as a robot show fan, that was a nice mecha story.

P.S. - on a non robot related note, the Powerpuff Girls stuff felt mostly In Name Only up until Mojo Jojo debuted, then not only was he portrayed perfectly (and very hilariously), the rest of the Powerpuff Girl cast actually felt more like canon and less like cardboard cutouts with superficial elements of the original canon attached.
