Mechatsuku proposals and Tomino feedback

Mechatsuku proposals and Tomino's thoughts, summarized courtesy of TE

>http://mechatsuku.estar.jp/result#2nd-result

>Star Storks: The proposal does say that the entire point of the show is to show off how cool mecha is (inertia, mechs with weight, complex transformations and gimmicks, AI starting to learn about emotions) but none of that was in the PV so eh. Doesn't help that the designs look like shit from a TCG or something. Story is composed of three parts, 1: Escape from Earth with a robot army fighting against space spider monsters. 2: The three robots spend ten years taking the last human child on a journey to find more humans. They end up deciding to jump into a black hole to get to another Earth. 3: The other Earth had experienced a robot uprising before and hate robots. The three robots decide to pretend to be evil and say they have a human child hostage and are destroyed by the other Earth's humans, but the child lands on the planet safely and lives happily ever after. I'm sorry but this sounds fucking terrible.

>Enthusiast's proposal says it wants to put emphasis on the fun of customizing your machine, but I'm not sure if that'd work with something fictional (maybe that's why they're car-like, so that they can toss in car lingo with the modding stuff?). And the proposal clearly states that it features "parkour action". No story details, just simple profiles of the characters and the setting.

>Dead End Sparks: Story jumps back and fourth between past (team of super robots fighting giant monsters) and present (supposed leader of the super robot team fighting against a human rebellion of some sort). Turns out the healer guy who supposedly died in the past faked his death and is the mastermind, main character is a clone, his original went nuts because he killed his girlfriend with friendly fire, blah blah blahhhh

>FS (RS) Project: Mysterious aliens invade and all our weapons are useless on them and holy shit it's just Titan/Arpeggio/Aldnoah/every single fucking thing lately all over again. Main character is the co-pilot to the girl who pilots the robot, and the robot eats her memories. PLOT TWIST: HER MEMORIES ARE FINE, IT'S EATING HIS MEMORIES. Also he's actual an alien who was brainwashed by humans. He angsts and cries and refuses to get on the robot until he finds a diary with his missing memories and he realises he loves her but whoops too late she got herself killed so he gets into a robot and kills all the enemies losing all of his memories in the process THE END. Bawwwww so sad.

>Deandrive: The world seems like an entirely different one but actually takes place in the far future of Earth after civilization was wiped out once, the enemies are silicon life-forms created by the previous civilization of Earth that were dumped out in space because they couldn't be controlled, where they gained sentience and got mad at mankind and want revenge. The robots' sentience don't come from AI, they have the same silicon-based life inside of them. Main character's robot does some understanding with the enemies and he goes off into space with them because the robot always has to part with the main character in these stories.

13th March special on Fuji TV had interviews with the creators and feedback from various celebrities (and by "feedback from various celebrities" I mean "a bunch of people including TM Revolution sat around holding their dicks while asking what Tomino thought")

Dean Drive: Creators are college kids (both 19) who coordinated stuff on Twitter. Tomino likes the idea of a pilot with acrophobia but says the PV doesn't use this to any good effect.

Enthusiast: Tomino hates the characters, saying they're too pretty for their ages (main character is 29) and says they ought to be made younger, and 29 should be the age of the rivals. To elaborate, he said that 29 is the age at which a lot of people give up on their dreams, and that's why it's a good age for a rival character, because you can have kids who haven't given up on their dreams fight them.

Dead End Sparks: Made by professionals. Can't recall what Tomino said.

RS Project: Creators didn't show up, saying they want people to judge it based on the PV itself. Tomino says it all boils down to what this "other thing" the pilot is said to lose in the PV; If it's something interesting it might turn out good (spoiler: It's all in the proposal and it's nothing interesting)

Star Storks: Creator's a professional and 52. Tomino hates the concept, saying it's too old, but likes the idea of humanising robots and giving them warmth.
