[MAD]スーパーロボット大戦 IMPOSSIBLE [Full Version]

 

Here’s another interesting video which showcases mecha series that are IMPOSSIBLE to star in SRW, either due to licensing rights (this may be a minor reason since mecha series from other companies have been known to participate in SRW) OR its obscurity (major reason) OR unable to fit into the story because of much less emphasis on mechas. Well, impossible may be too harsh a word, but I do hope that some of them can get in. Many of the titles are indeed obscure, I haven’t even heard of them, but some are fan favourites while some are famous. Here’s the lineup:

 

Hoshi no Koe/Voices of a Distant Star ほしのこえ- I have not watch it yet. I only know that it’s a very famous one-episode OVA. From the look of things, the main reason why it may not get adapted is that it’s too short, rather than licensing rights (though it may also play an important part)…

Saishuu Heiki Kanojo/SaiKano/She, The Ultimate Weapon 最終兵器彼女 – The closest SRW have that are not really classified as robots are armored suits (Tekkaman Blade, Bonta-kun), so if they were to add this in, they may have to rethink the definition of mechas they want to add in. Not that I’m against it, in fact I will love for them to add it in, but it wouldn’t be called Super Robot Wars, isn’t it? Banpresto might want to consider another series of game similar to fan-made game Battle Fantasia (which is the exact replica of SRW, when it comes to game mechanics) which uses characters instead of robots to fight.

Mobile Police Patlabor 機動警察パトレイバー – This is perhaps one of the biggest fan favourites for SRW. However, I do not know why is it not possible. Licensing rights is not a problem, sicne it’s by Sunrise, which is under Bandai, and the company that make SRW, Banpresto, is also under Bandai. Story-wise, I don’t think so since the story writers of SRW are famous for being able to merge different series together and produce new storylines. What else is impossible for them? Perhaps one of the seven great mysteries of SRW…

Busou Renkin 武装錬金 - I really don’t see ANY reason for this series to go in. There’s only one mecha in the whole show, and no, it’s not the main.

SDF Macross II 超時空要塞マクロスII Lovers Again - This one is really weird. SDF Macross, Macross Plus and Macross 7 have all appeared in SRW, what’s more is another one? I’m even expecting Macross Zero to make its debut soon.

Relic Armor Legaciam レリック・アーマー レガシアム – Unknown to me. This one is by Bandai too, and is a 50 min OVA. Reason again might be too short…

ARIEL - Unknown to me. It’s a 2-episode OVA. Look like a potential candidate to me though. There’s also another related 2-episode OVA “DELUXE ARIEL”. Well, it’s alway nice to see robots in the shape and design of girls, HAHA.

Doraemon Nobita to Tetsujin Hyoudan/Doraemon: Nobita and the Platoon of Iron Men ドラえもん のび太と鉄人兵団 – I have to admit, this is one I have never ever thought of. It may sound interesting, but you will have to turn Doraemon and gang into playable characters, which sounds like a bad idea.

Gunparade March ガンパレード・マーチ～新たなる行軍歌～ – This is relatively new, and this is another one which I don’t know why is it impossible to get in. Might as well say that Gunparade Orchestra is also unable to get in. Hopefully someone will tell me the reason… But then again I haven’t watch it yet.

Chikyuu Shoujo Arjuna 地球少女アルジュナ- Although I haven’t watch it, I do know that it’s not really a mecha show. More of a magical girl show, maybe?

Laputa – Castle in the Sky 天空の城ラピュタ - I don’t know how can this be integrated into SRW, and you will also need to persuade Hayao Miyazaki to give the rights, which should cost a bomb…

Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway’s Flash 機動戦士ガンダム 閃光のハサウェイ – Well, it’s not really a significant story, and putting it in requires the events of Char’s Counterattack to take place first… May not be a problem since it’s possible to integrate the story.

Choujyuukishin Dancougar BURN! 超獣機神ダンクーガBURN – Unknown to me. Doesn’t look like a sequel to Dancougar.

Majinryu BARION 魔神竜バリオン – Ok, this is VERY obscure, since it’s not even adapted into an anime.

GAIA GEAR ガイア．ギア – Again, another obscure title I’ve never heard before. I have no idea what’s this about…

Armor Hunter MELLOWLINK 機甲猟兵メロウリンク – seems to be a spinoff of Votoms. Otherwise, I have no idea too…

Ghost in the Shell SAC 攻殻機動隊 STAND ALONE COMPLEX – Yet another one that I will never ever thought of. Kusanagi might be an android, but that doesn’t equates to a mecha. Tachikomas are considered to be mechas though. Maybe they can make it the way Renais work with Kouryu and Anryu

Sakura Wars サクラ大戦 – This is definitely a very good series to put in SRW, no doubt about it. The only problem i can see is that since Sakura Wars got their own games, the licensing rights are definitely high. If only Sakura Wars can have their characters as guest characters in SRW similar to what Sega did with Virtual On… I have to agree that this is one tough nut to crack…

Raimuiro Senkitan らいむいろ戦奇譚 – A possible candidate, but this also has the same problem as Sakura Wars. the interesting thing is that if this ever manage to get into the SRW line-up, it will be the first h-game to do so, which might inspire other similar h-games to follow suit (Muv-Luv Alternative will be my first choice in getting in)

Yuugen Kaisha Chikyuu Bouei-tai 有限会社　地球防衛隊 – I can’t find any info on this, except that it may be a Playstation 1 game…

Makyo Gaiden Le Deus 魔境外伝レ・ディウス - Unknown to me. Possibly too short and too obscure…

Choudendou ＫＡＮＴＡＭ ROBO 超電導カンタム．ロボ – Another one which I can’t find any info on… Seriously obscure…

There’s one last title, but I’m already too tired to translate that, since it look really obscure…
