I'd say Patlabor is just as deserving of that title, if not moreso.
Noriko and Noa are both really good protagonists, but the latter has a much more developed set of friends even within the confines of the Early Days OVA.

Story's pretty good, but that's kind of a given when an OVA gets to be more just a 40-minute short (Riding Bean and Black Magic M-66 did really well within those constraints though).
Everything else (action, visuals, music) is a matter of preference.';

'>>22597228
I agree, I was just thinking about how, in the end, Patlabor really is the best mecha show there ever was. The change in tone between the films and the TV series/OVA is noticable, but one doesn't take away from the other. I've never met a person that didn't love the show. What's not to like?';

'>>22597342
I like it, I don’t love it. Any Tomino show is better. Patlabor is like a 7/10. And it’s more slice-of-life than mecha.';

'>>22597587
And Gunbuster is just garbage. Anno can go suck my balls.';

'>>22597148
But enough about Keroro Gunsou, Yamato 2199, Captain Harlock 2913, Genesis of Aquarion, Unit Pandora, Fafner Beyond, Seed Destiny, or Dorvack.';

'>>22597148
I rewatched Gunbuster a while back and I was surprised at just how poor it is. It should have ended after Episode 2. I have no idea why it gets praised so much; all it has going for it are some cool ship designs, attention to mundane details, and some cool lore in the Next Generation book. Almost every other 80s mecha OVA has better animation than it. The first Sakura Wars OVA does the same thing Gunbuster tried, but way better.
>>22597587
>And it’s more slice-of-life than mecha.
Yeah, I agree absolutely. It was so boring at times! I was expecting J-Decker, not You're Under Arrest with mecha.

>Duel loves Fukui/CGI Harlock
Why am I not surprised? Re: Dorvack, it was well-animated and it had a good story, but I certainly wouldn't call it one of the best mecha anime.';

'I swear Gunbuster is only propped up by retarded Evafags who are too insecure to post about how much they love that garbage show on here so they pretend Gunbuster is the "actually good one". No, Gunbuster is just as shit as Evangelion. Actually, it's worse. Evangelion is derivative garbage but at least its slightly more creative than Gunbuster. Comparing something like the Komm Susser Todd scene to when Noriko rips out the core of the Gunbuster. Both scenes are rip-offs of other things, but Komm Susser Todd at least combines both Megazone 23 Pt. 2's city destruction scene and the ending of Be Invoked, and combines them. The pulling out the core scene is quite literally, almost shot for shot, the ending of the Getter Robo manga.
You faggots need to develop some actual taste, stat. Or fuck off back to evageeks or r/eva, whatever shithole you came from.';

Also the ending of Macross Plus. God, Gainax is such a hack studio. The only good things they made were Houkago no Pleiades (which is literal moe crap made as a car commercial) and the Appleseed OVA -- debatably Nadia too, but that's super derivative as well (it's even derivative of Gunbuster kek).
>The pulling out the core scene is quite literally, almost shot for shot, the ending of the Getter Robo manga.
Eva also ripped off the underwater creature shot in the Getter Robo manga.';

'>>22597342
I'd say Mazinger Z, Voltes V and 0079 outshine them in terms of antagonists.
Not to knock Patlabor though. SCHAFT is reasonably menacing and some of the one-off crooks like the stomach ulcer dude are really fun in their way.

The answer to questions like "what's the best mecha anime?" mostly depends on what you personally value in the genre, like whether you want your villains to pull Wile E. Coyote schemes and try to backstab each other along the way or just act as forces of nature.';

I read somewhere that Kanuka Clancy was written out because the writers didn't know how to make a character that was supposedly so perfect interesting. I feel like a big opportunity was missed in making her the "perfect" American cop, but being excessively violent by Japanese standards, and playing up the difference in how policing is treated as a cultural institution in Japan vs the USA.';

'>>22597148
It is good, but far from the best. The concept is incredible, but the pacing is too compressed and too many of the in-universe mechanics are unexplained in-work, requiring you to watch side content to really follow along. Remember that one character who showed up for one episode, was a massive part of Noriko's growth, and then died off screen? That should have more time to develop, the start at mecha girls highschool and the bully character felt unimportant and could have been cut in order to spend more time fleshing out Noriko's growth at a more important juncture. The last few episodes are pristine, if you know what is going on. The problem is, they lack the time to truly inform the viewer in a diagetic manner. It still works, but to a lesser degree.

It is inconsistent, it reaches 10/10 status at moments but is hampered by fundamental flaws which make it a solid 8.5/10 as a whole.';
