It gave me a WTF feeling though. With the rape and the shoving icicles up you-know-where.
I found it unique that the coupler is activated once certain mechanism are within miku's uterus.

So, it's hentai on top of badly designed mechs. @_@ All the more amazing to see a very obscure manga series make the jump to animation to gaming.

they arent badly designed. They are very unique. The artwork isn't bad. It was just the style of the time. It isn't hentai either. They're just a lot of explicit sexual references and instances.

Either way, the manga is as good as the OVA. (though, Zeorymer had a proper redraw in the OVA)

The mechs are fine, what I have issue with though is how their heads are huge compared to their bodies. And the proportions are inconsistant.

Though again, I know it's because of the age so I don't hold it against it. I've always cared more about story than art anyways. If you like the OVA you should read it just because. There's no reason I'd tell you to avoid it.

Well, unless rape and sticking things in her pooper disgust you.

After seeing the updated Zeorymer in animated form, the manga style kinda doesn't cut it for me. But, yes, it IS also about the story as much as it is about the mechs, thus I wouldn't mind seeing it. Too bad it's awfully hard finding it.

Yeah, the bulky look really suited Zeorymer more. I didn't like the designs in the manga at all.

You're probably just too picky.

I liked them a lot (I'm not very selective with mecha, either in manga or anime form). It was just awesome how they built up upon the design in the anime.

This is probably the best reference for the manga.

I've seen that cover before, along with a few other shots of the manga Zeorymer. Picky or not, the manga look just doesn't suit it. :P

Heh, if I didn't know any better, I'd swear that was the cover for the new Yu-gi-oh manga.

Or maybe it's just an opinion, for which there is no right or wrong answer, and you're just being an ass in suggesting that your opinion is fact and everyone who disagrees is just wrong.

So stop it. You've started enough fights with this condescending, "I'm right and you're wrong" attitude, and I'm not in the mood to clean up another one of your messes. What you are saying is opinion--so treat it that way.

Jeez, I have to remember to use my emotes more often 8)


Without them it sounds like I'm being pompous and all knowing.

Sorry about that people. I am actually just joking when I act pompous.

But yeah, it varies from person to person @ Art designs.

My joke extends from that fact that those things infront of Masaki there look like Yu-gi-oh cards (somewhat).

OK... now that I've got a chance to see the manga version of Zeorymer at work, MY GOSH that machine is painfully godly. If not for that one 'design' flaw *shudder*, you literally can't stop it no matter what you do. Annihilate a body part, it regenerates. Kill the pilot, the coupler joint regenerates flesh and blood. Unlike the anime version, the manga version is truly a super robot in every which way. I have to say, I prefer the anime over the manga from what I've read so far, but DANG, I have to admit the manga Zeorymer is cool in its own overpowered way.

Which is what I've been saying the whole time lol It's pretty much the ultimate machine.
The reason the coupler can do that is very simple. It uses a female because well most life originates within the female (that's usually where life is bred). Hence, it's like he's reborn everytime because he is connected to that via the coupler.

The OVA didnt extend it's regenerative abilities. But it can be assumed it has them.


I wonder what you thought about all the semi-pronographic sequences 8)

The porno sequences? A cheap excuse to insert foreign objects into Miku in order to make Zeorymer godly powerful. :P

And given what we've seen in the battle against Rose C'est la Vie followed by its return into Last Guardian's base, if there is some sort of regenerative ability, it's likely to be small as opposed to the flat out total repair and regeneration we see in the mangas. Otherwise it's more than likely it doesn't have such ability in the first place, especially given that in the anime Zeorymer took to the air instead of staying on the ground (remember, the first J Kaiser attack killed off its ability to stand and walk on the ground), and that after the battle it was still heavily damaged.

Nothing it didnt heal later on =p Once the temporary coupler was replaced.

Had it been the real coupler, he wouldnt have been so heavily damaged.

Aegis was talking about the OVA. Zeorymer did indeed take a beating against Rose C'est La Vie, and even after Miku's return it didn't auto heal. And Miku herself is the Coupler system, so it is indeed the 'real' one. I'd wager that Last Guardian had to repair it themselves, as I figure if OVA Zeorymer could regenerate, it would have done so immediately.

The reason for that was that Miku was being held by the Hakkeshu and not integrated into Zeorymer at the time.

If you will notice, at the last second before Zeorymer is hit with a full power J Kaiser, she is forced into Zeorymer via the Coupler.

Also if you notice, both of Zeorymer's hands are back in place after she is implanted again.

You didn't fully read what I said.

Even AFTER Miku was called back, Zeorymer didn't auto-heal. It was still heavily damaged as you can see:

It's arms still came back though.

And yes it still differs though.
