Re: Reinhard von Lohengramm's Conquest of the Universe

Raven's Claw is about as strong as Thor's Hammer, the same cannon which can vaporize 1000 battleships with a single shot. Said battleships were spread out in about thousands of kilometers in diameter. So yeah, 740 TW makes about as much sense as beam rifles in UC Gundam vaporizing giant asteroids w...

Re: Reinhard von Lohengramm's Conquest of the Universe

Nah, I wanted to feature a number of popular Sci-Fi civilizations which span large enough that we can talk about galactic conquest. But not overpowered enough to be flat out of the LotGH's league. This is for example the reason why I explicitly referred to the new Disney canon with Star Wars here. W...

Re: Reinhard von Lohengramm's Conquest of the Universe

What are you two even talking about? Sure, ambitions of the underlings and betrayal is far from unheard of in LotGH but what you're suggesting is the radical extreme of this. Yes, Reuental had ambitions to take the galaxy for himself and thought Reinhard was trying to eliminate him early when he hea...

Reinhard von Lohengramm's Conquest of the Universe

His conquest for the galaxy was complete but Reinhard didn't stop. Setting his sights further Reinhard aims to conquer the ent...

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam

A Gundam is probably not as big as you think it is, (plus, y'know, it can lie down or crouch), we're not talking about super robot size here, it's about the size of a modern jet fighter standing on its tail. At 10km it's not going to be any more easily visible than a tank, especially with interveni...

Re: Recommend Me Some Anime Dammit

Legend of Galactic Heroes is pretty decent so I definitely recommend it to you. Albeit that series is more than a hundred episodes long. As for Gundam, I would absolutely recommend you the original Mobile Suit Gundam. It's old (made in 1979) and it shows in certain aspects. But it definitely worth a...

Re: Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam

Just to note, because it's the more obscure unit. The Leopard 2A7I are very much the same as the Leopard 2A6 . With the following improvements: - 120 mm cannon up to Muv-Luv firepower standards (meaning it should be able to penetrate Gundarium) - Anti-laser coating (which should be capable of taking...

Leopard 2A7I vs RX-78-2 Gundam

Tanks vs Mecha debate with a slight twist. The RX-78-2 Gundam from the original Mobile Suit Gundam engages the Leopard 2A7I tank from Muv-Luv. The battlefield is a mostly plain land with a few hills, two small forests and with an abandoned village in the middle. The tank and the Gundam start on the ...

Re: Armored Trooper VOTOMS Discussion

That's an interesting description of VOTOMS, because it sort of sounds like it has the elements that it took a show like Gundam many series to cover - would you say it has many arcs or stories in the 52 episodes and changes tone? By contrast many of the shorter robit shows I've seen are very focuse...

Re: Armored Trooper VOTOMS Discussion

Also.. I am going to cry because this is more Narutoforums calcs. Those never turn out well. but looking at the 30mm rifle penetration thing is already giving me a headache. Did you bother to consider multiple approaches to actually analzying this, as well as considering the limitations of recoil, ...

My username is willyvereb. I don't expect you to remember it soon enough, so for the time being "VOTOMS guy" is fine. How did I get hooked to it? Well, I started with the original series. Compared to the latter installments it has a more darker atmosphere. It's like when you compare Gundam...

Re: Armored Trooper VOTOMS Discussion

Can we talk about where they got all those Republic of Zeon uniforms first y/n? Well, VOTOMS was made by Sunrise, the same studio which was behind Gundam. Also I don't think any of the uniforms look Zeonic. Albeit the unifroms wore by the Gilgamesh Confederation look very Federation-like. Or you me...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8hwDQJRU7E Probably the closest you can get to a series where the mecha makes sense. :roll: VOTOMS is a gritty and dark science fiction franchise taking place in the faraway Astragius Galaxy. There two factions fight a seemingly never-ending war. Slowly but surely br...

Actually, I think you can also skip that one "erotic" scene.

Re: Muv-Luv Analysis

Well, I'm not sure if I can call it a game. It's more like an interactive story. In Muv-Luv's case it's often similar to watching a movie, even. And yes, the original trilogy is pretty good. The first two parts (Extra, Unlimited) are so-so but they still have their moments. What makes Muv-Luv awasom...
