[ID: a series of screenshots from Armored Trooper VOTOMS showing a conversation between Chirico and Ypsilon.
“A future of glorious combat,” Ypsilon says.
“There is no glory in combat,” responds Chirico.
“There is for me, because I am a Perfect Soldier!” Ypsilon pounds his own chest.
“Only because you think there is,” says Chirico.
“No!” Ypsilon shouts, sweat running down his face. “I know there is! I’m a PS! I’m special!”
Chirico simply stares at him, saying nothing in response.
“I represent an existence that surpasses a mere human’s!” Ypsilon shouts.
“I pity you,” says Chirico. End ID.]
[ID: a detailed model kit of a Scopedog from Armored Trooper VOTOMS. One of the mech’s arms has been torn off, wires dangling from the shredded joint. It stares defiantly at the viewer, a rifle in its other hand. End ID.]
[ID: a painting of Amuro Ray and Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack, and Chirico Cuvie from Armored Trooper VOTOMS. Amuro stands in the foreground, adjusting his gloves and looking confidently upward. Chirico crouches behind him, a stern expression on his face. Both men stand in front of their mechs. Char Aznable is drawn in the bright red sky behind them, smirking over his shoulder. End ID.]
AT of choice
[ID: digital art of Chirico and Fyana from Armored Trooper VOTOMS, sitting on the shoulders of their respective mechs. Chirico smiles at his Scopedog, patting its head. Fyana leans against the head of her Brutishdog, resting her head on her hands. In both drawings, it’s raining. End ID.]

Gonna be taking a break from Tumblr for a while. Any posts you see for a while will be from my queue.
that girls suck at math xkcd comic is how people talk about anime/manga
[ID: a two-panel comic featuring two stick figures standing in front of a board, one writing and one commenting. The first board has the poster for Doctor Who, with the commenter saying “wow, Steven Moffat hates women.” The second board has the poster for the Naruto anime, with the commenter saying “wow, the Japanese hate women.” End ID.]

mechtober day 28: the scopedog from votoms, best garbage can mech
[ID: digital art of a Scopedog from Armored Trooper VOTOMS stomping forward, kicking up dust behind it. The entire color palette is shades of green. The linework is sketchy, resembling pencil. End ID.]

wow that's. a very loaded piece of imagery to use in a shot which lasts three seconds
like when people talk about "cultural context" in regards to viewing international works, and how it's easy to miss very obvious things, i think this is a great example, because if you don't know what this is referencing, it won't stand out to you. but if you do recognize it, like a 1980s Japanese audience would have, it stands out immediately
[ID: a screenshot from Armored Trooper VOTOMS of the bombed-out wreckage of a building resembling the Hiroshima Peace Memorial. End ID.]
While I am 97.5% sure Great Mazinger will only exist as a mid-season upgrade for Kouji, part of my brain is choosing to believe Tetsuya will show up.
I keep hearing about there being actually alright fansubs for Grendizer U, but I haven’t been able to actually find any.
Shin Mazinger ZERO has so many things going for it but the manga is seemingly incapable of being normal about women for even a single page.
My favorite part of that BBC tweet identifying a Gundam as a Transformer has been seeing the Japanese posting in response:
ID: Three screenshots of three different tweets with pictures.
1. A tweet by @Daitotetsugen (in all caps), originally in Japanese that says:
“このネタは散々見てきたけど、英語版を見た時は爆笑 した” and machine translated to English that says:
“I’ve seen this story a lot, but when I saw the English version I burst into laughter.”
The picture is titled “Giant robot identification chart” and it’s made up of four rows with four pictures each of mechas and robots of different media, almost all labeled incorrectly.
Robots labelled incorrectly as “Transformers”: Gundam Rx 78-2, Zeku 2, Mazinger Z, Getter 1, Eva Unit 01, Yf-19, Valsione R, Astro Delta Megazord, Daileon, Big O
Robots labelled incorrectly as “Evangelion”: RahXephon, Yuubrain, Tactical Surface Fighter, Nirvash Type Zero
Robots labelled incorrectly as “Megazord”: Optimus Prime
Labelled correctly: ATM-09-STTC Scopedog Turbo Custom The Last Red Shoulder Ver.
2. A tweet by @Seskou (in all caps), originally in Japanese that says:
“メガゾード！” and machine translated to English that says:
“Megazord!”
The picture attached to it is a drawing in color of the Gundam Rx 78-2 transformed as a trailer truck and engaging in a three step transformation sequence into his usual form.
There are two things written in Japanese in the picture:
戦え！超ロボット生命体 - Fight! Super robot lifeform (roughly translated)
エヴァンゲリオン - The title of Neon Genesis Evangelion
3. A tweet by @naototsushima, originally in Japanese that says:
“まあまあ間違えはよくある事さ仲良くやろうや ” and machine translated to English that says:
“It’s a common mistake, let’s get along”
The picture attached to it is a drawing in color of Optimus Prime and the Gundam Rx 78-2 shaking hands while looking at the viewer. They are seen from hips up and the background is green.

my favorite ship dynamic is autistic dehumanized tool of war x autistic dehumanized tool of war
[ID: a screenshot from Armored Trooper VOTOMS of Chirico and Fyana laughing and sharing drinks. End ID.]
I think one thing that really gets me about Patlabor (especially Patlabor 2) is that it's mecha in the same way I consider Metal Gear Solid mecha. Like sure the robots aren't on screen fighting all the time but the story, its themes, and what it's trying to say all sprout from these fearsome machines. These stories all live in the shadow the machines they create and the political, societal, and material conditions that have led them to this point. And frankly, that's what really gets to me about mecha
