# Again, sorry ><
And here's me, thinking I know 80s-90s anime. I know shit. XD

Yeah, lovely design, I think I've got a figure of that somewhere. I wonder what happened to this kind of anime, it's all cute big-eyed stuff now.

# Yeah - it was one of the best animes from the golden days, when characters were interesting, and mostly male, storylines were good, and mech designs were sensible and well thought out

# Aye, we need that sort of anime back.
Back when men were manly as fuck, and not moping emos.

# Generally, i know what you mean, but the male characters in patlabor werent manly or emo - they were just... normal!
Patlabor was kind of like hill street blues, but with robots.

# Yeah, mainly in action animes not really involving robots, the star kind of had to be a mountain of muscle.
Of course, Shinji in NGE was arguably the start of whiny protagonists. I dunno, I'd be pretty thrilled if I got to pilot a giant robot.

# Shinji got bonus points for jizzing in his hand at the sight of Asuka's tits in a hospital bed though
But yeah, he was a knob.

# Hahahaha! Yeah
That was supposedly Sadamoto poking fun at NGE fans for being perverts, or something.
