Don't worry, I generally try to make sense in the most nonsensical way possible.
Ah, good!
Knowing that there are at least some out there that do nonsensical right makes this world just feel "right"

Maybe because one is boring and the other one isn't. Also, Stardust Crusaders kind of sucks and Jotaro isn't cool.

This makes them look more primitive than advanced.

So, I pop into this thread and see a post from Sim and like a fool I click the spoiler tag. Hello Rah, SIM, Clones and everyone else. I'm on a kick where I'm going back and watching anime I never heard of or missed. Started with the mid 90's, this should be interesting.Spoiler
Haai! Good to see you again, been a while!

Dismissing LOTGH
Yare yare...
Anyway, welcome back Storms, glad you're lovin' sum Gintama action ![]()

Anyway, in regards to the Axes in LOTGH.
What Grav says is true, and what House says too.
In LOTGH you have these Zephyr Particles that can blow up with just one shot of a gun.
But it's also their armour too. Yes, you can shoot through it via weak points, but it's sort of laser proof.
That's why it makes most guns ineffective and that's why they'll just charge like crazy mofos at people with guns.
And lastly because it looks cool.
@Reezy
LOTGH gore is awesome.
There's not enough of it, but when it's there it'll blow your mind...literally.

@Sim
Indeed I am. Don't worry, I'm going to give LotGH a chance. I can be overly critical at times. I'm making a concerted effort to just try and enjoy anime in general. I have to say Gintama can be pretty deep at times. Either that or I'm an idiot and I give it to much credit haha.
I think last time you said something but Reinhard's first battle, am I right?
Like how it wouldn't work because of the pincer attack?
Guest_Stormheart83_*
Yeah, my inner arm chair commando was showing. But it's all good. Its about the story, characters and the horror of battle right? So, I was being silly just dismissing it for something so trivial.I think last time you said something but Reinhard's first battle, am I right?

Yeah, been busy IRL. Started up Gintama again and I'm enjoying it much more. I don't know why but, for some odd reason I couldn't get into it the first time I watched it and now I'm hooked on it. Watched Akira( total mind f--- ), Berserk love it and I tried the old school Robotech but I just can't get into it. Think I'm going to give LotGH another chance I feel like I dismissed it to easily. Oh, nearly forgot but whoever recommend Jojo in the past, thanks it's awesome.
Old school Robotech (actually you should watch Super Dimensional Fortress Macross) is best macross.
Period.
The new ones may have more fancy animation and bigger budgets, but plot/story/character wise they are far, far worse. Especially Macross 7.

Uhhh...
You do know that it's in space right?
And LOTGH factored in space time.
As in...
It would take hours to execute that pincer attack?
That's why those dudes could go to sleep in their tank beds.
So uhh... the Alliance were totally stupid there and Reinhard has the complete advantage?
Not to mention that Reinhard focused where as the Alliance spread out. He could direct all of his strength at one thing at a time and that's just lethal.
Guest_simfamUP_*
That's why Yang-da-Man suggested for the 4th and 6th fleets to regroup for a rear attack.
But because all generals are incompetent douche bags until after the Civil War then... yeah.
Guest_Stormheart83_*
I do now. Haha, I'm used to western cinema where they have mastered the technology of Poof were there, Poof were gone. But, thanks for the clarification. Not going to lie I rarely stop to consider Space time, Relativity etc.Uhhh...

Using guns in a ship where one stray bullet can kill everyone in the area is stupid beyond belief.
It would be like a pirate going onto another ship with a cannon big enough to sink the ship.
So yes axes and similar weapons would be better than a pistol.
I haven't even watched LotGH and I can appreciate the creator having common sense in spacecraft boarding parties.
I'm not against melee weapons, since Battle Angel Alita is my favorite manga and they use a lot of melee weapons. The one's in LOGH look like normal axes. Are they even special? Why not a rocket hammer or damascus blade?
Spoiler
WTF!
Guest_Stormheart83_*
Yeah, I was being overly critical. I get so hung up on little nitpicks I often miss the important aspects of the show, movie, anime etc.Not to mention that Reinhard focused where as the Alliance spread out. He could direct all of his strength at one thing at a time and that's just lethal.
This disturbs me. Which is weird cause I just got done seeing Assassin's ribs hanging out of his chest because of Caster not too long ago.
If I were to meet with Caster face-to-face, something would be hanging (sticking) out my my pants.
That woman.

That berserker.

That image will haunt me for the rest of my life lol. On a side note I thought the petite blond was cute...but I'm guessing she/he is actually a Trap lol. It's Nanana's buried treasure all over again.

Don't see the need for the weapons to be special, just b/c it happens to be Sci-fi. As for why it is an axe, eh well perhaps it has to do with that the weight of an axe-head combined with the impact afforded by the long handle makes them more effective at piercing heavy combat armor than other melee weapons.
Could other weapons have been used? Sure, but they decided to go with axes and it works. I'm not complaining.
