Love Faction Mariachi

Does anyone else miss the days when it was just about dragons and guns (and one dragon-gun) mowing down cow orcs?

The fish were badass, if not for Los' dad unsinking their half of Mexico they would still be alive now.

Can we please talk about the first arc. I don't understand what fucking happened.

You watched the shitty 1996 dub, didn't you?

>shitty
Gabriel's light array was good, though.

yes, yes, everything in your childhood was wonderful.
they cut the marijuana fields battle. that ALONE justifies it being condemned to the fiery pits of hell. how am I supposed to have any sort of emotional investment in Gabriel as a character if we're not even shown his origin story?

The fucking OP explains it every episode.

>it is the year 20XX
>after World War II 2, Japan was annexed by Neo Australia and the shadowy Zezareth Corporation was installed as the new government
>they immediately outlawed all Mexican people and Mexican things
>loyalists to the old regime have kidnaped Gabriel and his entire high school class and given them super powered mariachis
>their mission: to escort the mysterious foreign exchange student Harry Mendez to the fabled land of Mexico, to win back their country’s freedom restore the Mexican peoples to their former greatness
>THEY ARE CLOVER TEAM

>clover
fucking Irish, telling Mexicans how to summon their own Mariachis

Clover Team are Japanese though, they have to escort Harry Mendez to the World’s Best Mexican tournament, their Mariachis turn them into hafus that gain super powers.

>yfw these three first made a guess appearance and eventually became recurring characters

Fuck me that OP was great. Sums up my childhood.

Yeah I didn't get that. What was Trigger thinking?
Like
Were they turning LoFaChi into a wannabe Pray!!!? I was fine with those three, but then they made a whole filler arc about bringing Christianity to Japan and it just made my head hurt again.

Also,
No, you nigger, spending a whole episode of Gabriel firing his Light Array at just Ragnarok mechs was anything but.

Eirika >>> Jimbo

Nozomi >>>> Erika > Asami > Sophie > Elizabeth > Jimbo-rimbo

Can we not turn this thread into Erikafags vs Jimbofags? Please?

While we're at it, can we please talk about Mum's latest scenes raising so many death flags?
>he has a heart to heart with Elizabeth and tells her how happy he is
>he shows Kazuma's ghost his niece's photos
>he also found out that secret about Ivy Team

I think he's gonna die soon.

Phoneposting is pain

Yes.

Back when the OPs were really hotblooded and light-hearted? Yeah, I want more shredding guitars and AGUANTEEE FUEEERTES

I'm sorry, but Ay-Ay-Ay Mi Chancla is the best op of all time.

>a LoFaChi OP that isn't performed by GRANRODEO and Gypsy Kings
>best
Get some taste.

>He doesn't like the one OP that is recorded and played by actual fucking Mexicans
Does it hurt being a brainlet

Even if you let fking JC Staff adapt the manga they would do a better job

>all these anime only secondaries who have never read the supplementary materials
Seriously, if you haven't read the complementary 10 thousand page long heavy novel then you shouldn't be posting here.

I just don't understand why the writer's translations were turned down on account of being "not original" enough. Fucking hell, LoFaChi CREATED original!

DEAD FRANCHISE DEAD THREAD

>real Mexicans
If that's all you cared about, why not mention the Gackt x Rodrigo y Gabriela OP? That season was sick too. It really expanded on the team clover cast's respective characterizations and featured Gabriel's DRAGON MAGNUM form. I wish they'd bring that back already.

>GMoTM fags still rampant after their show was done
Fucking Kyoanus, man.

>clover team fanjerk
Fuck off. It's all about Ivy Team and Elena the best waifu

Calm your tuts. Just because I'm talking about OPs from the 90s doesn't mean I don't like how Team Ivy is taking a forefront to the current arc's action and intrigue. It's really refreshing to see an expanded cast done right for once.

>tuts
>90s
Fingers are clumsy today.

The issue is that Clover Team is being built up to look like the best team evar

It isn't, most of the team don't even like each other. Remember Erika realising that Jimbo is a trap and remembering that time they shared a public bath?
Ivy Team aren't even protagonists but at least they are cool about it.
