When is the preferred timing for Anon to stand out the most at the very beginning?

Is it good for talent to be revealed during the simulated battle phase as “This guy is different from the others”?

Or do you prefer the feeling of awakening your talent in your first battle?

Does it have to be a situation that actually exists in the play?

>>1

It’s okay if it doesn’t exist!!

Is it the first battle after all?

I want you to clearly show the reason for being the main character from the very beginning.

I hope the debut match is vivid, so perhaps it’s my first battle.

Being too strong even in practice battles is off-putting.

Facing death in my first battle, but the awakening in the second match is hard to give up.

By the way, this guy was really weak in mock battles…

>>7

I think it’s because Asagi was the leader.

That person.

Isami from Bravern was super strong in episode 1’s training but flopped on his first battle, huh?

That situation is unavoidable.

If we’re talking about being active from the very beginning, it’s best to empathize with the motivation; it’s fine to unleash righteous anger or to be fueled by revenge. Conversely, if you can’t empathize with the motivation, no matter how much they succeed, you’ll just think, “Who is this guy?”

>>13

So it becomes a standard to suddenly have enemies appear in what should be a peaceful place, forcing one into a situation where they must fight to survive.

They did this in the original Gundam too…

To cover up the great defeat, they awarded the only survivor a medal and elevated them to hero status.

It’s great to see a weak protagonist who isn’t suited for that role being forced to become a real hero and having to struggle to grow stronger.

>>14

The beginning of the thread image feels exactly like that.

It seems we won our first battle, but it’s actually a follow-up from a retreat.

First, show the standard technological capabilities of that world.

I also love the 00 pattern that clearly shows a strength that is generations apart.

I like this pattern, including the fact that those with inferior technical skills will gradually catch up eventually.

I’ll fight in my first battle in episode 1 and defeat the enemy.

There aren’t many works that can do it properly.

Many episodes end with the robot activation pattern…

It’s quite difficult to depict something that grows quickly but becomes stronger gradually, isn’t it?

The first episode of ∀ doesn’t even feature the main mobile suit’s mustache, but I actually like it because it showcases a world that is completely different from previous Gundam series.

That said, it might be because it’s a method based on a series.

I want the strong ones from the beginning to the end.

>>25

Ultimate Robot Daiouja (Really the strongest)

There are surprisingly few robot anime protagonists with nicknames or titles from the beginning.

The first one that came to mind was Domon from G Gundam, but…

At first, we need to show the robot’s strengths to grab attention.

It’s fine if it’s not the protagonist’s talent, but rather relying on the robot’s performance.

Barbatos, rampaging while that BGM plays, is really cool…

The pattern where Shinji-kun wins while unconscious due to the machine he was forced into without understanding what’s happening running amok.

I thought it was quite difficult because the viewers would also be confused.

If the patterns become the same, they start to be called one-pattern, and in the end, irregular things come out.

These kinds of things are quite difficult.

Being surrounded and shot at with crazy amounts of gunfire, but catching all the bullets to save the children, while snapping my fingers to summon a Gundam, firmly establishing the world view and demonstrating a special move, I think the first episode of G Gundam, which connects to the question of whether you know this man, is perfect as a first appearance.

The protagonist says “I will kill you” in episode 1.

Somehow, the first episode of Gundam often feels like a model answer for that era…

You’re doing well…

The robot combat scenes are only at the beginning, and in the end, it wraps up with “I’ll kill you,” which is quite unconventional for W…

It’s good to be strong overall, but I prefer a strength where supporting characters can also shine regularly.

Well, even if it seems like an ace pilot is riding it, the Wing’s first battle ended up submerged because it was clung to by something that looked weak.

>>39

Before that, I had already destroyed two Aeries with an overwhelming beam in a single strike.

If you look at the previous part, it doesn’t just give the impression of being submerged.

∀ is making its debut in episode 2, but it’s automatically intercepting without a pilot, and even Loran can’t stop it! It’s completely out of control.

It’s a bit of a rare case for Gundam.

>>41

Ultimately, it’s a story where the Gundam that brought destruction protects the world and saves lives.

Beards must be perceived as fundamentally dangerous.

The Zoid’s Ban is not only a powerful machine designed for specific tasks, but it also shows off its incredible skill by effortlessly dominating while appearing to be just a weak character that usually gets defeated. It was really cool.

I want this development to be mandatory for all robot anime.

I did it, Jirgoo!

>>44

The aircraft is getting more and more damaged, but the results keep getting bigger, which is crazy…

Although Roland itself uses a flat descent to Earth in episode 1, it suggests that moving the MS itself is already implied.

It’s nice that it makes you feel that ∀ is a different kind of foreign object compared to other mobile suits, making it seem uncontrollable.

>>46

By the way, although there have been works whose final episodes I didn’t like, I can’t really think of any that I couldn’t accept from the very first episode.

>>46

A mysterious robot created with technology from several generations ahead.

The return of the legendary hero Gundam.

Revival of the sealed aircraft used in ancient wars.

The strongest machine using forbidden technology.

They’re all good things.

The first episode of V Gundam has the bald guy getting scolded from above and ending up like that.

>>49

Maybe it’s better for the bald guy to be flirting with someone above him…

>>50

At least by the first episode, Amuro was properly expressing his righteous anger against the enemy that suddenly invaded the colony and disregarded the harm done to its residents, right?

The wing sinks in Part A because there are four other Gundams in Part B.

It’s being done because there’s a need for the story to flow with the idea of fighting simultaneously in various parts of the world.

Zex “Look at this.”

Otto: “Is there another aircraft of the same type as the one from earlier!? (looking at the picture of Shenron)”

Zex says, “No, there are other units that have been attacked in three different locations… a total of five machines!”

>>53

In short, what I wanted to say in Episode 1 of W is this.

I think the protagonist’s agency is important too.

“I want a reason, whether it’s the situation or some kind of backstory, that makes the readers understand why this protagonist has to fight in this robot.”

>>54

In episode 1, we’ll have them pilot the V Gundam and then slowly explain the backstory afterwards!

>>54

Dad, Mom… I’m sorry, I’m going to do it…!

The opening of the first episode of Unicorn, hitting you with the theme from the example, is indeed powerful.

I thought they were weak after struggling and barely winning in the first episode, but then it turns out that other pilots might not even be able to win, which really highlights the enemy’s strength and I like that.

In the first episode, the main issue is that there is no combat.

>>56

Even if it’s not the main character’s machine, there should be some kind of battle scene, right?

>>59

Even though Eva couldn’t shine in episode 1, there were still scenes of fighting against the Angels.

If we’re just talking about the first episode, I think EVOL is definitely a masterpiece.

The protagonist is amazing too! It’s nice that they properly show that.

On the contrary, the first episode of Gundam Wing really makes you wonder if they actually want to sell plastic models, doesn’t it?

>>62

It’s to prepare highlights for all five Gundams to sell them.

Rather, episode 1 is just like that.

>>67

Without a doubt, the satisfaction with MUJI is seriously beyond complaint, just like in Gundam Seed Destiny.

By the way, the origin of “lucky pervert” was also born.

>>67

At the time of the first episode of Destiny, the atmosphere was like “The previous work was bad, but this one might be promising.”

>>67

Rather, I feel like they raised expectations too high in the early stages and ended up creating a large number of anti-reactions in the later stages.

The first episode of Strike ends with an impressive rise.

>>68

SEED has an incredible power of background music.

The victory of direction.

>>85

However, the impulse launch scene in episode 1 has become subtle in the remaster…

>>85

The only scene that shows the past moments when Kira and Athrun were best friends is that one scene where the Tori is handed over.

It’s amazing how they strongly instill the image of a tragic friendship by pushing that so hard.

>>132

And then, through the drama CD, I learn about the reality of when we were friends.

>>63

When I looked back, I felt a mixed emotion because the battle in episode 2 that connects directly from there was quite tough.

>>69

Something subtle is shining.

Luna, who is a shooting machine, can’t hit.

Rei seems to have some decent ability, but doesn’t actively put himself out there.

…Well, I mean, we’re currently running the test equipment, but…

In “Impulse,” the rival character of the protagonist from the previous work comes to the rescue in a pinch.

That place is doing quite well.

While Heero himself leaves an impression, I don’t quite remember the activities of the Wing Gundam.

Did you cut the shuttle?

>>72

I’m really doing my best in the Virgo battle of the Sunken Kingdom.

>>72

To protect Heero’s duel, I kicked away the small fry and shielded Treize-sama.

>>72

Having a party night, launching an attack on the resupply base in the Pacific, destroying it, and running into Death Scythe.

Jointly raiding sea fortresses with Deathscythe and going to shoot down Gundanium transport ships.

I’m doing various other things as well.

I preferred the first episode’s hook of VVV over Majepuri.

It’s precisely because the initial grab was good that many people watched it, but if the reputation turns bad afterward, it won’t just fade away…

I want them to have some kind of past and to become active right away after they appear.

It’s fine if the character who serves as the perspective of the story is different.

In the first episode of Gundam, I think Z is quite challenging.

>>86

Half of it is about Camille entering the extraordinary from the everyday.

The other half is a story about Quattro’s infiltration mission and escape.

I’m doing that in parallel.

>>86

It’s amazing that even though the title is Z Gundam, the Z Gundam itself doesn’t appear for quite some time.

In that sense, Dunkouga is the same too.

Episode 1 of SEED is a rewrite of the 1st, but it skillfully introduces new developments like the stolen Gundam and the encounter with Athrun.

I love the first episode of Battery Girl because it shows both its extremely weak points and its brilliantly strong points.

It’s great that Xenoblade X can’t be played until the mid-game, and that the human characters are stronger.

Do you want to have another war? If Shin takes down three machines, the story will be over…

I hope that whether as an enemy or a friend, you can regularly shock those around you.

The most impressive battle with the Wing Gundam is when Duo is surprised to learn the destruction value of this Gundarium!

>>97

In episode 2, only the Deathscythe fights.

Wufei is buying ammunition and fuel, while Quatre is resting at a summer resort.

Trowa is job hunting while Heero has become a student.

The amount of information is truly unnecessarily excessive.

>>104

Mr. Sumizawa: “Gundam W compresses the amount of information of 4 episodes into 1 episode!”

I like the development where you lose to the strongest enemy or rival in the hobby genre but still manage to strike back.

I want the enemy to get angry and say “There’s no way we can lose to a rookie like that!” and then be recognized as a legitimate opponent after the second round.

Look at it! Just the fact that Gundam stands up is so cool, episode 1 of Seed.

Wing Gundam usually shines in times of crisis for Relena!

I can’t think of many robot anime that were heavily criticized from the first episode.

>>102

I like it, but I often hear people say it’s messy and hard to understand, like Bubuki Buranki?

>>102

AGE’s first episode is quite difficult.

I like the feeling of the protagonist, who was just assisting a super strong senior pilot, starting to surpass them.

Wings are often overly ridiculed.

>>105

“Is there really only the part where you’re submerged?!”

If we cover everything from the boarding to the end of the battle in one episode, it seems like there won’t be enough time left for the drama.

I think the first episode of Gundam has a sense of speed that comes from the time it was made.

If we did the first episode of Z now, I think everyone would be confused and say, “What is this guy!?”

I watched the first episode of Gundam, but why was the cockpit open?

>>110

Because engineers do not know the battlefield.

I can’t operate the new model like in Sidonia, but I like the old-fashioned manual ones that I can still handle, even though it’s a bit cliché.

In the early stages, the enemies are too strong compared to the robot’s performance, making it quite tight, but I also like how it gradually becomes an imbalance with the protagonist becoming too strong.

I thought it was sad that Zex was switched to a heavier because he said he wouldn’t accept help once he fixed the wing!

>>114

It’s not that being overly charitable is necessarily a bad thing.

Hiiro: “My fighting spirit is dulling.”

Trowa: “That can’t be true for you.”

Hiiro: “That’s the guy.”

Zex: “Did I make you worry…?”

That’s the story.

It’s a game, but Z.O.E and ANUBIS are really good, right?

I think it’s not just the first episode that’s problematic; the other episodes are like that too, so the first episode isn’t solely to blame.

Well, in the first episode, I died after a disastrous simulation against a rice thief.

Tanikaze-san opens a path to hope from a desperate situation in the second episode; that’s amazing!

The runaway display of the aircraft is great, isn’t it?

For now, the difference in strength can be overturned, and it will naturally lead into a growth part until I can control it.

There are cases where the protagonist starts piloting a robot from episode 4, like in Argento Soma.

That too in the simulator.

AGE’s Flit arc is generally…

I understand that it was necessary for the story, but…

I wonder if a story where the protagonist gets involved in stealing robots like in Vandread should be called a ZZ type.

>>124

To think that that strong senpai would be defeated!? Creating a situation where the protagonist has to fight while showcasing the enemy’s strength, followed by a moment of awakening, is something everyone loves.

Overall, the movement of the MS in the Flit arc is lackluster.

Around the Desil break and Full Power Titus, I finally got to see what I wanted to see.

I want the final boss of the robot anime to play a big role too.

Isn’t the final boss in the image trying too hard?

>>127

If you try too hard, it’s hard to understand what you’re doing on your first attempt!

I like the super pilot type that is strong from the beginning but struggles and suffers, then explodes due to a big trigger and becomes the strongest.

I like the kind of stories where someone does something wildly out of place in the world, like cutting through armor with a sword in “Armor Demon Muramasa,” and everyone around is taken aback.

I understand that AGE wanted to depict how MS movements improve as the era progresses, but the movement in the Flit arc was a bit lacking…

Mika, who was the strongest character throughout from the first episode to the last, is quite a special case…

>>135

If it’s not that much, the entire Tekkadan will be too weak and die…

I liked the first episode of Sakugan.

Kira is lazier than I imagined…

The movie had become easier to understand even if it was fast, but the battles in the main story are fast and chaotic…

The first episode of Back Arrow is dense and enjoyable to watch.

I feel like RahXephon had a weak protagonist for most of the time except for the very end.

I hadn’t watched Bubuki Buranki, but I thought it was a robot anime… then I was looking at the wiki and realized I couldn’t remember any of the names, and I thought, is it because of this!?

>>142

There are about five teams of five people each, and with so many characters, plus the fact that they battle against each other, the story itself is quite difficult to understand.

But even in full CG, the design of the robot and its sense of enormity are quite good…

>>142

The robot isn’t cool, the robot battles aren’t fun, and the jokes aren’t funny either.

I think the weapon is somewhat cool.

It’s a bit annoying that there are people who are obviously playing the villain role and also pushing the official antagonists.

I like the song, even though it has a somewhat anecdotal feel to it.

I quite like Asem, who ended up having quite a bit added to his first battle due to summarizing two episodes of combat in MOE.

>>144

The battle between the mobs in the early invasion scene is much more impressive.

>>144

Right now, there are no main character units appearing in Eternal Wind, and it’s being said that the pace is way too slow.

>>150

It’s not just the main character!

It’s been six months since the serialization started, and not even the Gun Tank has appeared yet.

>>164

It’s from around the time the Guntank appears…

Majepuri had quite an innovative start.

(Mark Elf that becomes scrap in one episode)

Ganso is just too great as an introduction and as the theme of the work in the first episode…

>>147

Welcome!

>>147

The Western genre format really does pair well with robot anime…

>>154

The western format and the period drama format are also compatible, so something like a robot period drama would be great.

Mika is definitely strong, but she’s quite prone to making mistakes…

It’s a bias, but I have the impression that characters who showcase their excellence in mock battles and simulations before their first actual battle often end up as weaklings.

>>153

In the first place, you have to be somewhat capable to be a decoy.

Having falling machines instead of falling heroines is nice, isn’t it?

>>157

If a mysterious beautiful girl is inside, bonus points!

There was no particular connection between Laraiya and the protagonist…

I want an adult character who serves as a good wall in the middle of the story, helping the protagonist grow both as a pilot and as a person.

I feel that the Muv-Luv anime, where each episode involved unknown battles, was quite different.

>>159

Maybe it’s because it originated from a novel game, but the protagonist’s achievements are ridiculously long!

Z Gundam was incredibly strong in the final phase, but it was rather unimpressive leading up to that.

>>161

Even the first appearance…

Buddy Complex had a surprisingly straightforward public image as a robot anime!

>>163

Too honest and ordinary…!

>>168

Is that so!? Well, it’s definitely solid overall, but…

>>163

After being attacked by a mysterious enemy and being saved by the heroine, to suddenly find myself in the cockpit of a robot when I jumped to the future feels a bit hard to believe!

It depends on the type of protagonist… If they’re set up as a skilled character, then they should be making impressive moves.

It’s fine to have a natural curly texture.

There are voices starting to say that F91EW has surpassed Moon Gundam…

>>171

I don’t think it will surpass Moon Gundam, after all.

>>171

Moon Gundam was already being ridden normally around the time it had been serialized for six months.

Did you take damage from your first battle or first fusion!?

I love overwhelming with a counterattack.

>>172

I love the incredibly high defense typical of its first appearance.

In terms of strength, I can’t compare to my great seniors at all, but I will do my best as the first-generation Crossbone Tobia with my talent and initiative.

Buddy Complex had a strong template feel, but I liked how meticulous it was.

I also did Sunrise Island!

The Fafner is an amazing protagonist and protagonist machine! It was after switching to the Zain that I felt that way…

>>177

Mark Elf is too plain issue.

>>178

The main character machine can’t be helped.

>>177

The only notable achievement I can think of for the elf is the overwhelming victory in the mock battle…

In other words, the explanation at the beginning is too lacking.

I thought what Eternal Wind was, and it turns out it’s just continuing the main story of the prequel as it is.

I’m buying the paperback, but since they’re taking three years to go up to the main story’s Miss Contest, I guess the main story will be stretched even further…

The weapon from Kira’s rapid-fire speech in the SEED generation is… the Armorshneider…? Is that all?! Since I’m someone who got my brain messed up by that, maybe that’s it.

All the allies with the same type of frame basically become specialized types, except for the protagonist.

The first season of Fafner is boring, but please watch it!
