This week, instead of taking notes in class, I was daydreaming about destruction incarnate.

Well, you guys already knew what to expect. But at least my super robot sensibilities have improved a bit since I first posted in the ideas topic.

This is much, much better than a giant mecha hat with eyes. Looking forward to the official update.

I feel a degree of... familiarity. Like I've seen a similar idea before, bur I don't quite remember...
Still, delicious AM.
Wait these aren't Armored Modules. Oh well. You get the point.

It's good to know where one is coming from, so let me offer a few suggestions.

Things I referenced:
Psycho Gundam Mk II
Other artists' mecha-Okuus, especially this one

Things I thought of:
Cybuster
Ezekiel's Oruga Cannon

Think any of those are it? Also, the armor is supposed to be similar to what's on Sanae's mech since they were made by the same bunch.

Actually, I also thought of these, with a mix of Zyuranger's Dragon Caezar (AKA MMPR's Dragonzord).

I was hoping for Armored Core inspired designs...

(because oh god i love you nineball seraph <3 <3 <3 uuuuuu~)

Esifex · « **Reply #66 on:** October 04, 2009, 08:20:11 AM »

Hmm. Armored Core would be interesting to see floating around here.

Especially if you're like me and played with dual bladers on AC4a - the best models are the four-legged ones for those.

Maybe Parsian mechs will be inspired by something besides Gundam. :O

Update with 5 pages. Also, you can now download entire chapters via my mediafire uploads.

Sex for the eyes.
Also I wonder if you can make that Three-legged crow into a transparent icon.

Very informative update. I've never heard of / seen this 'sun' thing before either.

"... The Reiuji clan scattered through-out Old Hell."

I am now imagining a tribe of mini-Okuus for some reason.

FinnKaenbyou · « **Reply #72 on:** October 14, 2009, 10:48:33 AM »

I admit, I broke down laughing at 'What's this 'sun'?'.

This is still awesome. Keep it up.

A.M is for Arcane Machina, mentioned on page 17.

The main weapon of an Arcane Machina is the pilot's magic, and the A.M. serves as an amplifier basically. Most of the mechs in this story actually use conventional weapons like rifles, beams and missiles, so you'll see this distinction being made.

Ah, how nice to see more updates~ And that image you made transparent is really nice too. Keep up the good work!

With the raven's beak on the head of the Yata... it kinda looks like it has a c: smile goin on.

Unexpected consequence of putting the beak so close to the collar. >_>

Oh well, weird gimmicks can help make it memorable... (Soulgain's mustache anyone?)

Esifex · « **Reply #78 on:** October 20, 2009, 05:08:51 AM »

Or provide ample opprotunity for a mutated silly-face moment between the mechs.

Good lord, imagine Sanae looking at Okuu's AM with a 8| face while Okuu is busy ?3'ing back at her?

By the looks of it, that's not too far away from what could happen.

Small update. It's a crazy time for us students, but let's hold out for the holidays.

There's a natural break for Chapter 2 like seven pages ahead I think, it's been a long haul.

"The truth is, I've never used magic before..."

I have countless deaths against Peta Flare that beg to differ.

Out of interest, how many chapters long do you see this becoming?

Zengar Zombolt · « **Reply #83 on:** October 27, 2009, 12:15:00 PM »

...Artificial Magic? Or it's just Okuu going om nom nom on the Yatagarasu?

Moerin · « **Reply #84 on:** October 27, 2009, 12:21:35 PM »

My guess is that the AM will have it's own power source, like Getter Rays or The Ide or something...

Awesome stuff so far, though. I'm always anticipating the next update~

Meh, I always felt that, when you look past the GIANT SUN BULLETS, Okuu's patterns are kind of... Basic. Were it not for the fact that the bullets were, as previously stated, giant suns, she'd likely be a much lower level boss than she is.

But that's just me~

Esifex · « **Reply #85 on:** October 27, 2009, 01:58:32 PM »

I see can see a foreshadowing there :O

Around 12, or something like that. I considered doing a parallel side-story starring Mokou for a few chapters, too... but I've got a lot on my plate already so I'll see when I get there, haha.

Hopefully the questions on magic will be answered next installment, but I'll clarify if said questions remain after that.
