Anyone else find Mightgaine hard to like?

[Partycat]

Sure it's a solid unit but I find myself cringing each time Maito gets lines. The band of antagonists seem a lot more interesting.

At first i was like that too but after he was in all the recent games ( V,T) i really started to like him.
If you fully upgrade it , Gain is a total monster with damage output in the range of Getter/ Mazin Emperor and i just find him a very useful unit overall.
I like him more then Daitarn/Zambot 3 for sure.
And the cheese of heroic Super Robot one liners is something that just is a standard in these games.

It's a super robot.. So insta fav for me lol.

Mightgaine was inspired by several series movies(1959-) featuring 'Might Guy' Kobayashi Akira, who appeared in various name in each film. He was a stereotyped wandering hero, extreme to justice. 'Joe of Ace', always acted by Shishido Jo, was similarly stereotyped heel, just like Popeye and Bluto.

is a selected scenes from 'Might Guy' movies, 'Might Guy' wearing in black and 'Joe of Ace' in white.

When this piece was on air(1993), so long since Mazinger Z(1972), super robot stories had been satulated. Introducing many stereotyped character from established 50s'-60s' movie, they tried their stories free from robot-animation format (of the day).

Might Gaine is a very useful unit. I find it really hard to hate him and those hammy line remind me of my youth. Seeing everything in a straight line, full of white and some of black unlike myself today everything gray out, less and less of life. Crap I like this guy!

I find myself hard to like SEED more than anything.

For SEED they deployed a script writer, new to robot animation, expecting new taste to worn-out Gundam world. It was unsuccessful, leaving many emotional, even irrational characters and their extreme actions. Very rarely in this industry, a discord between voice actors and the script writers turned out to audiences. A movie version was announced but eventually not started. Of course machines in the game are as good as other Gundams.

Dont know about that, "SEED" and "SEED Destiny" are still always at the top of the list in Japan when asked about most popular Gundam series.
They also are still the best selling series in the franchise.
Its mainly western fans that disliked SEED and especially Seed Destiny.

I don't know where you get your sources for it not being popular and the discord between voice actor and script writers, but like Ogami said like it or not SEED and SEED Destiny is very popular in Japan, they even release a remaster for it and even goes to add Perfect Strike Gundam in it. If it's not popular no way they wanna be waste their time editing already released series.

As for why the movie is cancelled, it's because the director wife who is also the screenwriter for the movie and series got ill during the production and die later on. By then the studio moved on the 00 instead.

Japanese Otaku proverb reads 'Your favorite is another's rubbish, and your rubbish is another's favorite'. I have no intention to deny your evaluation on any specific piece. For example OP&ED tie-up music pieces from SEED/SEED DESTINY enjoyed a huge sale. Mechanics from SEED are equally liked by GunPla enthusiasts. But in Japan I have seen so many negative words on that piece, mainly on stories and character makings.

I also find SEED to be so so, especially SEED Destiny. At that time I also subscribe to anime magazine who takes their fave character chart from Animage Japan(the oldest and the most popular anime magazine at that time), and during the SEED airing era, and years after Destiny finished airing Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne continue to be #1 until Code Geass start airing and Lelouch Lamperouge took Kira throne as #1 character.

If you said it's not popular or anything it like saying Gundam isn't well liked by mecha fans because the design and plot has been rehashed many time. There is probably some truth to that, statement, but saying it's not popular or hated by majority isn't the right word for it.

[unrealph]

Because Kira and Lacus are the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sue that why I don't like SEED.

[BloodyPork]

Gundam eh.

When I play any SRW games I always bench all of the gundams, well, except Erupi Puru (who I put on the Gundam ZZ, but can't even use the ultimate skill because it needs pilot Judau wtf) and Puru 2. OG robots are personal faves, but I also prefer all the non-gundam shows from Zambot/Daitarn, Voltes/Combattler/Daimos, Getter Robo, Mazinger, Tekkaman Blade, Nadesico, Mightgaine, Evangelion, FMP, Code Geass, Gurenn Lagann, or even Cross Ange than any Gundams.

Well, "men of destiny" is a sick bgm but it's not in this game so fk that.

Btw Uchuu Senkan Yamato is easily the best show in SRW V.
