The machine is a powerful tool with which to tell a story. It also adds an element of panic when the otherwise normal pilots have to battle outside their giant robots of doom.
Besides, with something as goddamned EPIC as Super Robot Wars, I don't see how mecha hate should ever apply.

I can't find machine hate nor love.
People of my type can't appreciate gigantic shiny stuff flying around having an endless cycle of you shoot me and I return it and we both "Kaboom." Also, it gets more retarded when those robots that can independently destroy cities get pwned simultaneously by another 1 robot. (Read: zakus with lifespan of 0.6seconds in GundamSeedDestiny)

People of my type get annoyed when mecha series, especially those of the real robot variety, are defined by the explosions because of SEED, which is stupid and fail anyway. The original Gundam series had a lot of good character development and an excellent story, and was topped in every aspect by its sequel, Zeta Gundam.
Super robot series are essentially shounens, but there are plenty of people who like shounen and dislike super robots.
Real robot series are basically seinen series, but tend to get downgraded to meaningless monster of the week tokusatsu type shounens for some unexplainable reason. I blame SEED.

SEED isn't that bad, but SEED DESTINY is scarily phail where dragoon system appears to mass destroy stuff.
I don't really like any sort of mecha, no matter how humanoid, shiny or w/e they look like. Mecha as a plot device itself is ok; I don't mind it, but I don't really like mecha-driven stuff either.
Mecha application story-wise should only go as far as it does for eva; Not with a few octillion robots spewn everywhere. Bokurano also brings to light more of its psychotic characters than the robot being piloted.

You should watch some Shin Getter Robo. There's no difference between having billions of robots being blown up and say... Thousands of Shinigami and Hollows, Ninjas, Pirates, Chickens, and whatnot.
Also, Eva is overrated.

I went to read up about bokurano after hearing the op; uninstall.
The op's quite good and it sounds good even though I read about it from wiki so I might as well attempt it in a while more.

standard 20something minutes, OP ED + title catch in between.
honestly, the plot is weak. "omg people's stuff went missiITS AN ANOMALY MUST INVESTIGATE" is poor because someone stealing personal items is not an anomaly.
someone stealing spring for sinister purposes is an anomaly, but not stealing useless stuff like reimu's donation box. seriously.
everyone has their own notion of how a character would sound like, so the voice actings WILL put people off. that patchouli in that episode is not my pacchu :<
i find the oped better than the actual episode itself, but that's my own opinion anyways~
((oh, i forgot that there's an entire board for animu discussion, but it's faster posting here anyways. split it if you want, heh.))

Ah yeah, I watched it also. I thought the character animation wasn't as bad as everyone complained about, considering the conditions. There were some shots that were painful to look at, such as Remi's close up before the ReimuxPatchy battle. Backgrounds were gorgeous though. Voice acting was all great except for Marisa and Remilia, IMO. Marisa sounded too dead-pan and Remilia was too cute... Music was fine. Suited the mood well, and I really want to download the OP/ED. >_> Dunno where to find yet. The plot.. was silly, yes. Funny, but not really as intense as the actual danmaku game plots. --------- I also finished RomeoxJuliet. Overall a really cute anime for those who like romances. The action is pretty good too. The animation, for some reason, is excellent.  ; Started Nijuu Mensou Musume. Hirano Aya as the main character is a must-watch. But it's great so far. Getting into Tales of the Abyss. Magic circles are pretty. The characters are also very diverse and funny. The concept of Fon Artes might be hard to grasp at first, but it's basically just a source of magic. The fighting scenes are really cool. Solid anime overal, I think. XD |

You're actually lagging here :V Yukarin found it on Share.
Subs were done in-house by MAIKAZE. Potato you fail :<
Kaguya whoeveritwas corrected minor English mistakes, because MAIKAZE actually has a guy with good English.

@lumin  I actually watched it on nico first (with no subs), then dled the DVD when I went to sleep. the KAGUYA one is a re encode, some guy was saying he would do it in the c75 channel, probably just took maikaze's subs and muxed it in the a-radio one has both a real (i think) sub and a trollsub with plenty of ze~ and whatnot, get it for a laugh or something but i have share now so bwahaha idk i think the voice acting is pretty good (i didn't like remi only), thought moo + saku + patchu were good. mukyuu~ animation is well nothing to be excited about but i guess overall it was a decent job, could have been much worse. raine go play the tota game, i went to play it after watching about 3 eps. kinda keeping pace with the show as i play lol. the show has to cut out a lot in order to keep the length watchable (i.e. 10 second boss fight) |

Ries: lol 28h and you're not even halfway through the game yet. Personally I didn't like Sakuya too much, kinda feel that she needs a slight bit of an edge to her voice. She doesn't sound cut out for fighting >_> Remilia as well, but then again if she's not going to be some scary freak who owns everyone at danmaku then there isn't anything exactly bad about her voice if it fits the character they need her to portray. And potato I don't recall touhou ever having a good story >_> I mean what's the difference between 3 items being stolen from different places at the same time and someone stealing spring essence to make a tree bloom >_> with a bit more consideration both sound equally retarded in any case. I dunno, but considering it's fanmade and all it's quite a good job innit. Plot and animation included. I mean compared to the previous touhou anime (assuming it exists), people seem to be acknowledging this one a lot more. Critique or praise, at least they're taking this anime more seriously than they did the other one >_> Then again I think touhou M1 Grand Prix has better voice than this, so... >_> tl;dr: |

Sakuya doesn't sound right for a cold blooded killer and Remilia isn't ojou-sama-ish enough.
But patchu's "MUKYUUUU" is epic-ly fine for me.
