So, Bandai Namco aired a series on Youtube Originals named Project Obsolete, with the help of Nitroplus, BUEMON, CyDesignation and Gen Urobuchi. It used to be paid but now it seems to be free to watch.

The premise is basically South Africa ignoring the No-Alien-Tech-Allowed Convention and adopting mechs dubbed "EXOFRAMES" along with a few other nations in order to rise up and be an equal to the developed nations of the Northern Hemisphere. Will the West toss the Convention away?

Opinions, pilots?

Looks like shit. They just made humans in robot models. There's nothing mecha about that scene.

Please do tell how this is somehow different than all other humanoid mecha media out there.

Looks good.
>>729
The effects, or lack thereof, don't sell the machine. There are none of the sounds that would come from heavy machinery moving like that, nor any real weight to their moments. Even a basic look like the webm immediately gives off the feeling that they just reskinned a scene that already had a bunch of human models doing the same thing.

Further episodes show that the machines are neurally controlled with human-like level of dexterity. Modern machinery can be pretty quiet, let alone alien tech.
>nor any real weight to their moments, looks too human
Like most mecha. That's the point of humanoid robots.

More objectionable than the models is the atrocious script.
>Mecha show
>Shooting guns from cover and reloading magazines manually
What's the point of getting in the exosuit then?

Yeah, I wonder, anon.

Even if they're neurally controlled, their lack of weight is so uncanny that they look way smaller than they're supposed to be. Were it not for the posters I'd assume they're human-sized purely based off the animation and scene layouts in >>727. There is virtually nothing in those shots which conveys their intended size besides an easily missed stump.

Like almost every mecha show ever made?

No, not like almost every mecha show ever made: this is noticeably worse.
>>726 (OP) 
This is the most watered down and half assed "mecha" ever made.

There's no way any Nato military would ever realistically greenlight these "explosive-panel-syndrome" laden wannabe mobile infantry suits.
