I'd be lying if I said I'd miss these movies too much. There were great many promising elements in this story, but on the other hand I never stopped disliking the main character. If he had been more inspiring and likable, then I'd agree with Shinta. But as it is, it was just meh for me.
You could say this is yet another meaningless battle in a meaningless war. As usual, even per "reality" standards.
The only gripe I have is that Borcuse had a death wish from the begining. Even with a slightly inferior mech, he's so superior in weapons, weapons handling, combat that he could have finished that fight everytime Rygart charged, but he didn't.
Proof of the death wish is his last moments, WTF?!
Other battles are to come, both camps have a rough idea of the forces and trump cards the other has.
Now comes the difficult battles with little to no ground gained, waiting for your opponent to be short of men/weapons/will to fight.
With kiddies showing at the end, you could also think the issues are to be resolved by the next gen when they are in their late teen years?
I don't think I read somewhere we'd get more eps to that show, guess it depends on the ratings and sales. After all it's fairly easy to take it from where it stopped and add to the story.
Regarding the retarded weapon:
Well, it's not that retarded, I mean for a highly skilled handler.
Thing is its massive weight that needs even more skills and Rygart clearly isn't the skilled type. He's not even skilled enough to keep balance at crucial times when his machine is equiped with failsafes. So it was hard to believe he didn't kill himself with the weapon as it came back to him multiple times. After all, that weapon is very dangerous to the wielder if not mastered to perfection, yet Rygart didn't have such problems, I find it hard to swallow.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
The meaningless nature of the "let's pit these characters together while everybody else is fighting a war" threw this episode into chaotic failure.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
So, the new "version" which is (as far as I know) pretty much a 1:1 copy of the movies aired/were released some time ago.
I heard that there is a new ~10 minute fighting scene where some guy wrecks havoc. Does anybody know which episode that is?
Not going to bother with the whole thing again, but I'd like to watch that part for the eye candy
