Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale

Alternatively, writers for children’s cartoons have no sense of scale.

(look GaoGaiGar is amazing but I have no illusions what it’s target demographic was supposed to be, and I am not it)

Instead of putting art in-between commercial segments, GaoGaiGar puts tech specs. For everything. Everything. Up to and including Leo Shishioh’s gag inventions that show up for five minutes in a single episode and never appear again.

This is a wonderful gift to fic writers, because we can go look up exactly how tall the dreamboat BFF Guy Shishioh is. You can even look up if his name’s spelled Guy or Gai (the answer is yes).

Let’s take a look at one of those tech specs, hum?

Soldato-J 002. The man who’s face gracefully adorns this blog as a profile picture.

Now, there’s a lot of stuff here, so let’s take it piece by piece.

I know nothing about electricity, so let’s hop over that for the moment. Instead, let’s look at this man’s max speed: 2 X 10 to the 7th power meters per second.

That’s 20,000,000 meters per second. Or for those of us not on the metric system, that’s about 12,427 miles per second. For comparison’s sake, the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. To pile on the comparisons, the speed of sound is 750 mps. Soldato-J is going sixteen times the speed of sound. Sonic booms should be going off all over the freaking place.

Switching gears, now. Let’s dive into this bit of tech spec:

The first thing to catch my eye is the - er… “Reft” hand? I’m just going to hand wave that as an Engrish mistranslation - Japanese has no hard “r” sound, and so substitute in the letter “l”, leading to all the shenanigans.

Let’s focus instead on Soldato-J’s dimensions.

2.1 meters works out to 6 feet 11 inches. Da man would be snapped up by every basketball league in the US by that metric alone. Which is to say, extremely tall, but not too far outside the norm.

His weight, though, is 0.2t. The “t” stands for “tons”. The man is 400 pounds. He weights as much as a freaking sports motorcycle! (And looks better than one, too.)

But now… Now we’re at the part that breaks my brain.

Span: 3.0 meters. That’s 9 feet. As tall as an ostrich and arguably just as dumb sometimes. It’s also three times the width of the average door.

If the span is measured from the tip of one of his shoulder armor bits to the other shoulder armor bit’s tip, that means -

Soldato-J cannot walk through doors.

#Thank you for coming to my rant #GaoGaiGar #Soldato-J 002 #Doors #Statistics #tech specs #If there are any artists in the audience I will PAY for a pic of J trying to walk through a normal door #Brain broke laughing please reboot #lots of pictures #Silly

what are your ultimate thoughts on gaogaigar final and would you say it's worth watching? i've been really reluctant to start it as someone who watched and loved gaogaigar, i don't want the tone shift and content included with it to retroactively lessen my enjoyment of the original anime.

okay i can finally answer this since i have now finished it

i think gaogaigar final is the perfect level of quality to make it a total pain in the ass to decide whether or not i would recommend it. it's not nearly bad enough to say you should just skip it as a fan of the original, and it definitely doesn't ruin gaogaigar or anything, but it's also not good enough to say it's a must-see sequel to the original

there IS a lot of good stuff in there. it's fun to see the characters return, and they have a lot of fun (particularly in the first few episodes) riffing on the things you remember from the original show. it answers some lingering questions from the original series, in particular what actually happened to kaidou and soldato-j. and, of course, the robot fights continue to be very cool, if you wanna see more knock down drag out no holds barred super robot fights like the most beloved episodes of the original show

but, as i've complained about a lot, it feels like they shoehorned in some uncharacteristically "mature" content that clashes with the kids' show stuff. it never, ever misses a chance for a boob shot, and there are some weirdly dark moments that feel like surface level attempts to make the show more mature. (much of this is apparently censored in the tv version, which i skipped because its additional connections to betterman would have been meaningless to me.) a lot of this centers around the most significant new character, renais, who gets a lot of screentime despite feeling like she doesn't add much of value to the series. all this while still being a show where characters all but look directly into the camera and go "kids at home, you too can do anything if you have courage, just like guy"

i think it also suffers because like... when you're constantly trying to fire on all cylinders, to crank up the drama, to make almost every fight as Epic as ones like the battle with EI-01 or the showdown from the finale... you just kind of get desensitized to it? i think it retroactively proves that the monster of the week format was really valuable for the original show, making certain moments stand out way more when they shake up the familiar rhythm of the show. same goes for elements like mamoru's silly little classmates and other civilian characters, who are largely sidelined - especially once the action leaves earth. that might not be "the cool stuff" to mecha fans, but the show hits different when the focus is shifted

and i'm not crazy about the note it ends on, which tries to be a definitive but bittersweet ending while ALSO teasing that maybe it'll get ANOTHER continuation someday, which i guess it did via the obscure gaogaigar vs. betterman stuff as well as maybe some super robot wars plots? idk. i kind of hate that the thing literally named "gaogaigar final" ends with sequel bait

but again, it's not like i thought it was BAD. it just didn't quite hit the same way that the original show did for me, even as someone who literally just watched both for the first time and as such isn't speaking from a place of nostalgia. gaogaigar was a show that knew exactly what it was and had a lot of fun with it. gaogaigar final is a sequel that wanted to be something a little different and didsn't entirely succeed. but a lot of fans seem to hold final in very high regard, so i might be an outlier. idk. like i said, i can't say it's either a must-watch or an easy skip. if you do watch it, just keep expectations in check

Always on the crest of the wave, even at 93 years old

I like, in fact, I have always liked, because it is an actor who has only two displayed expressions: one with the hat and the other without a hat ". It's been more than 60 years from the statement that he made Sergio Leone Clint Eastwood. From the Italian director's favorite actor in the famous 'Trilogy of the dollar' planetary star able to stock up on Oscar Awards, the American actor and director - but also a film producer and composer - has come a long way, becoming one of the landmarks Hollywood. Today Clint Eastwood celebrates 93 years.

It was 1964 when a stranger Clint Eastwood - who had assets of a handful of films not exactly memorable, but he had made the center on television with the series westerns 'Rawhide' ( 'Rawhide') - was chosen by Sergio Leone to interpret the bounty killer unnamed 'for a Few dollars More'. The success was immediate, so much so that Eastwood starred also in two other Leone's films - 'For a Few Dollars More' (1965) and 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' (1966) - which would then formed the 'Trilogy dollar'.

Besides Leone, another director "cult" was important in Eastwood's career: Don Siegel, considered one of the masters of the detective film and action. With American filmmaker Eastwood all very well he turned five films, success: 'Coogan's Bluff' (1969), 'Mules for Sister Sara' (1969), 'The long night of the soldier Jonathan' (1971), ' Dirty Harry: the case Scorpio is yours! '(1971) and' Escape from Alcatraz '(1979).

A lot of the acclaimed masterpieces by critics and audiences - 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' (1976),' Bird '(1988),' A Perfect World '(1993),' The Bridges of Madison County '(1995),' Power absolute '(1997),' Mystic River '(2003),' Million Dollar Baby '(2004),' Flags of Our Fathers '(2006),' Letters from Iwo Jima '(2006),' Changeling '(2008)' Gran Torino '(2008),' Invictus - invincible '(2009),' J. Edgar '(2011),' American Sniper '(2014),' Sully '(2016),' The Courier - The Mule '(2018),' Richard Jewell '(2019) - won many awards. Four Academy Awards - two for 'Unforgiven' (1992, Best Film and Best Director), same for 'Million Dollar Baby' (2004, Best Film and Best Director) - plus one memory to the Irving G. Thalberg assigned in 1995. Eastwood also he won six Golden Globe.

Sempre sulla cresta dell'onda, anche a 93 anni.

Mi piace , anzi , mi è da sempre piaciuto, perché è un attore che ha solo due espressoni: una con il cappello e l’altra senza cappello“. Sono passati più di 60 anni dall’affermazione che Sergio Leone fece di Clint Eastwood. Da attore feticcio del regista italiano nella celebre ‘Trilogia del dollaro‘ a star planetaria capace di fare incetta di Premi Oscar, l’attore e regista americano – ma anche produttore cinematografico e compositore – ha fatto moltissima strada, diventando uno dei punti di riferimento di Hollywood. Oggi Clint Eastwood festeggia 93 anni.

Era il 1964 quando uno sconosciuto Clint Eastwood – che aveva all’attivo una manciata di film non proprio indimenticabili, ma che aveva fatto centro in tv con la serie western ‘Rawhide‘ (‘Gli uomini della prateria’) – fu scelto da Sergio Leone per interpretare il bounty killer senza nome in ‘Per un pugno di dollari‘. Il successo fu immediato, tanto che Eastwood recitò anche in altri due film di Leone – ‘Per qualche dollaro in più‘ (1965) e ‘Il buono, il brutto e il cattivo‘ (1966) – che avrebbero poi formato la ‘Trilogia del dollaro’.

Oltre a Leone, un altro regista “cult” fu importante per la carriera di Eastwood: Don Siegel, considerato uno dei maestri del cinema poliziesco e d’azione. Col cineasta americano Eastwood girò ben cinque film, tutti di grande successo: ‘L’uomo dalla cravatta di cuoio‘ (1969), ‘Gli avvoltoi hanno fame‘ (1969), ‘La notte brava del soldato Jonathan‘ (1971), ‘Ispettore Callaghan: il caso Scorpio è tuo!‘ (1971) e ‘Fuga da Alcatraz‘ (1979).

Tantissimi i capolavori acclamati da pubblico e critica – ‘Il texano dagli occhi di ghiaccio‘ (1976), ‘Bird‘ (1988), ‘Un mondo perfetto‘ (1993), ‘I ponti di Madison County‘ (1995), ‘Potere assoluto‘ (1997), ‘Mystic River‘ (2003), ‘Million Dollar Baby‘ (2004), ‘Flags of Our Fathers‘ (2006), ‘Lettere da Iwo Jima‘ (2006), ‘Changeling‘ (2008) ‘Gran Torino‘ (2008), ‘Invictus – L’invincibile‘ (2009), ‘J. Edgar‘ (2011), ‘American Sniper‘ (2014), ‘Sully‘ (2016), ‘Il corriere – The Mule‘ (2018), ‘Richard Jewell‘ (2019) – molti i premi conquistati. Quattro Premi Oscar – due per ‘Gli spietati‘ (1992, miglior film e miglior regia), altrettanti per ‘Million Dollar Baby‘ (2004, miglior film e miglior regia) – più uno alla memoria Irving G. Thalberg assegnatogli nel 1995. Eastwood ha anche vinto sei Golden Globe.

Number.00: B: Overture -HAZIMARI-

2010

Stood in front of the GGG Memorial, Hana reads a message from Mamoru, who is now in America at the GGG Space Centre, working with Chief Yaginuma, Dr. Takanohashi, and has had a number of meetings with Secretary-General Approval. GGG pagers have now been supplanted by smartphones, and even the members of Juvenile GGG have them. Mamoru's message also mentions Kaidou having been on Australia visiting Yuka, though he's talked about her to Hana a lot, Mamoru is only now hearing of her. The next day there'll be a test of the NeuroMechanoid, if it goes well it and the New Division Ship will see action in space, after the test he plans to return home briefly. Hana has taken it upon herself to report to GGG Mamoru's messages when he's out of the country. A small earthquake hits, apparently they have been frequent.

In 1997 a dimensional portal to a dying universe 15,000,000,000 years earlier was opened, originally to allow the survivors to escape, however before they could they were subsumed by the 31 Machine Primevals, a program created on the Purple Planet that went rogue. Cain, leader of the Green Planet, sent his son Latio through, protected by Galeon, adapted for combat against the Primevals, and gave Latio to the Amamis, who called him Mamoru. In 2003 the Primevals sent their interface Pasdar through the portal, which destroyed the Spirits Shuttle piloted by Shishioh Gai, and was fought of by Galeon. The Japanese government formed the Gutsy Geoid Guard, taking custody of Galeon, preparing for when the threat would return. Pasdar cultivated Zonder Metal until 2005, and began his attacks, but was fought at every turn by Cyborg Guy, GGG and GaoGaiGar, and Pasdar was eventually defeated. This prompted the Primevals to attack, demolishing GGG, but warriors of the Red Planet, Arma, Soldato-J and the J-Ark appeared to fight them, and GGG was reformed under the UN as the Gutsy Galaxy Guard, and defeated the Primevals. After the Primevals left the Trinary Star System, the 11 Sol Planetary Masters activated, acting on Abel's plan to stave off entropy by stealing from the next universe, Galeon was created by Cain initially to stop them. In 2007 GGG abandoned earth to stop them, against orders, and in the Trinary Star System destroyed them, but were trapped, sending Mamoru and Kaidou by ES Missiles home. In 2009 the UN voted to launch Project Z, a plan to harvest the super energy of Jupiter.

Southeast of GGG Space Centre, StealthGao II, LinerGao II and DrillGao II fly around the NeuroMechanoid Kakuseijin GaiGo. The original Kakuseijin was developed by Akamatsu Shigeru, now Director of GGG Marine Base, No. 1 was piloted by Sai Hinoki and Aono Keita while investigating Algernon. Akamatsu was later hired by GGG to create a new Neuronoid, he was reluctant, but was inspired by the G-Stone, creating Kakuseijin Z, which was successfully used by Amami Mamoru and Ikumi Kaidou. In the creation of a new SuperMechanoid to succeed GaoGaiGar and GaoFighGar, modifying Kakuseijin Z as the core of GaoGaiGo, the new Kakuseijin GaiGo, his challenge to his uncle Leo and absent father Liger, able to fly via Ul-Tech Engine. Kakuseijin GaiGo is in Accept Mode, GaiGou, Mamoru piloting from Womb Head, releases that something has happened to Kaidou in Cereb Head, he's getting no signal. He contacts Yamajii in the GGG Space Centre, and is told solar winds probably damaged the internal communication systems. Project Z is still secret for now, not for the goal of saving GGG (Akamatsu participates wanting to save his father and cousin) but another motive.

Mamoru tries to switch to Accept Mode, Kaidou can hear the transmissions but isn't being heard. He attempts to take control, but nothing happens, and the Linker Gel loses density. Kakuseijin GaiGo has an inbuilt Glianoid, a machine to purify Linker Gel but it has failed. Kakuseijin GaiGo crashlands in the ocean, Kaidou before passing out opens the Womb Head hatch.

Mamoru sees Kakuseijin GaiGo sink, and goes to rescue Kaidou when he is approached by a man riding on a luminescent jellyfish, communicating by the Limpid Channel, and realises this is the same one who spoke to them when they were in the Trinary Star System. Somnium Lamia introduces himself, warning a threat is coming that all turn all life to light. The Somnium will fight to return to the birthplace of their souls, and warns humans must fight to survive, heading to the sky. Lamia and the jellyfish fly away.

Recalling the Ryugu 9000, Mamoru manages to psychokinesis Kakuseijin GaiGo to the surface, and pulls Kaidou out.

Suddenly the sky fills with light, and the two realise it is Jupiter, massive in the sky, and an aurora takes the shape of what looks like Genesic GaoGaiGar imbued with THE POWER.

The boys are returning to Japan by plane, and discuss what they had heard from GGG China Dr. Yang Long-Li, also the Project Z Administrator. Yang revealed the original motive for which Project Z was developed, harvesting energy from THE POWER for earth energy, and Yang has gone against Taiga's wishes due to his belief it is the only way to save GGG. He worries about what UN member nations will do when they have the energy. Kaidou has already decided to do it, Mamoru is still puzzling.

Kaidou told him not to relate to GGG what Lamia said, or about the fact that the Aura on Jupiter appeared to be Genesic GaoGaiGar, something Mamoru and Kaidou alone in this universe have seen. Mamoru decides to go along with Kaidou for the sake of saving GGG.

Mamoru has a meal from Ai, then heads to GGG Marine Base for a farewell party before he and Kaidou head to the Orbit Base and from there by Division Ship to Jupiter. The mission should only take half a month, compared to the 3 month trip from Jupiter after the Primeval War, or the year and a half he spent in the Trinary Star System.

At the party he meets with the others, including Hinoki and Keita, Mamoru feels odd seeing Hinoki's hair, but can't quite connect it to Lamia at the time. Hana cooked a lot of seafood, as she's had to assume cooking duties at Kitchen HANA after Ayame joined the Orbit Base. After a toast from Chief Akamatsu, everyone digs in, Reiko notices Ushi is restrained, he begs his friends to save his older brother. Tsuguo at the Orbit Base, and Mitsuo abroad, too wish to see Kazuo. Akamatsu wants to see his father, and his half-sister, who his daughter never got to meet. He met Renais for the first time the day before she left, and Sakura has been in a coma for 4 years now, he keeps her close in the now mobile Manage Machine.

After the party, only Mamoru and Hana, and Keita and Hinoki are left, tidying. Hana wishes Mamoru well, and he promises to return. Keita teases their love, while joking about Hinoki, a bioengineering student, going to drinking parties, which she insists are just for study discussion. Hinoki sometimes has doubts about her feelings.

Suddenly Sakura yells out, and everyone runs over, including Akamatsu, but she remains unconscious. Mamoru notices and calls out the Limpid Channel evident on Sakura. Akamatsu hopes his daughter will open her eyes, but she emotionlessly declares the coming of the Conquering King.

Aboard Division VI: Unlimited Connection Transport Warship Mizuha, preparations are underway to finally launch. The first stage of Project Z, recovering samples only THE POWER, is being lead by Chief Yaginuma in the Branch Order Room, supported by Yamajii, Ritchan, Ushi 2 and Ayame. Takanohashi, Yang, Nozaki, Inubouzaki and Hirata run operations aboard the Orbit Base, Akamatsu and Porc-Auto are stationed at Marine Base, while GetsuRyu, NichiRyu, ShoRyu are aboard Mizuha alongside Mamoru, Kaidou and Kakuseijin GaiGo. Just before launch, an alert comes from Themisto Eyes, and AI on one of Jupiter's remaining satellites monitoring the locality, reporting a massive EM field around Jupiter, which is travelling at speed towards earth, threatening precision instruments. Yaginuma has the Protect Shade activated, Mizuha prepared for evasive maneuvers, and earth alerted. The Lepton Traveller is deactivated to prevent damage, and Mizuha maneuvered, as reports confirm Themisto Eyes was destroyed moments after sending the alert. Orbit Base manages to survive the EM field, as all other satellites, and earth itself suffer blackouts. Yaginuma is forced to make the executive decision to suspend Project Z to focus on disaster relief, a decision understood by all despite their sorrow.

Kanayago is launched with the Brave Robots to begin rescue operations, the Carpenters are to be sent to atomic plants to restore them as a matter of urgency.

An alert rings out that Space Development Corporation space colony Island-4 has started falling (there are currently 6 in various stages of development, Orbit Base was converted from the planned Island-2) and the systems that would normally act as a failsafe to blow it apart were also disabled. With a predicted landing zone, Australia, Kaidou and Mamoru prepare to launch in Kakuseijin GaiGo.

Kakuseijin GaiGo converts from Accept Mode GaiGou to Active Mode GaiGo, which more resembles GaiGar and GaoFar.

For the first time in years, Yaginuma gives the order for Final Fusion, in what should be a triumphant moment, due to the emergency, only Ayame, who admired Mikoto, has this emotion, as she initiates the Program Drive. StealthGao II, LinerGao II and DrillGao II combine with GaiGo to form GaoGaiGo. Akamatsu had initially planned to develop new GaoMachines, but eventually decided to let his King of Braves stand with the legacy of his father and uncle.

With careful precision, Mamoru and Kaidou have GaoGaiGo catch up to Island-4, and dock the Gatling Driver.

Kaidou feels as though Mamoru understands his feelings without expressing them nowadays, and notes he calls him Amami now, not Latio.

The Gatling Driver is used to hold Island-4 in place, then alter it's angle so when released it heads towards space instead, so it could reach a new orbit.

Before they can relax, Kaidou notes an object approaching Island-4 at high speed, a debris collecting drone that has now caught so much it can't control itself.

All Kaidou can think to do is use Broken Magnum to destroy the debris, risking more and more debris, but Mamoru takes Left Control, and uses Plasma Analyse, which temporarily holds it in places and analyses it via GaiGou's systems, allowing Kaidou to use a Broken Magnum to affect the course enough to prevent impact, right before GaoGaiGo loses power. The Debris will burn up, and the Broken Magnum will return to Orbit Base after a couple of orbits so they can retrieve it.

On August 8th 2010, following the Invisible Burst, Project Z was suspended. The sight of Jupiter in the sky continued to grow, the aura of what looked like Genesic GaoGaiGar bathed in THE POWER hung in the sky, and Lamia looks up, communicating with others via the Limpid Channel, noting the Conquering King's arrival.
