What is your favorite super terrifying alien race that is powerwanked to infinity to give the viewers a sense of despair and wonder how the fuck the heroes will win? Stuff like the BETA, the Invaders, and so on. Preferable in manga and anime, of course. Nipponese videogames are fine I guess.

The protodeviln in Macross 7, of course
If we’re counting videogames, Sin in Final Fantasy X I suppose

I want to get into macross but it seems sort of intimidating. Is it all a straight series or is there funky timelines or alternate universes and what have you?

There is a timeline. Most series are basically standalone though.

Oh, I see. Do they all take place in the same universe though?

As far as I can remember.

All right, cool. Guess I gotta do some timeline research then.

Blue Gender, though I guess they weren't aliens, just giant bugs.

Close enough, they had the same "oh fuck how could the heroes possibly beat them the world is fucked" energy

Especially the fact that they massively outnumbered humans.

Not really alien, but I still remember Baoh.

Powerwanked enemy is boring because the end game, most of the time, is for humanity reach a pacifying end with them.
BETA : Kasumi sending an expedition group to inform the silicon lifeform leader that humanity is sentient
Festum : Not too much different
Vertex : Informing god not to give up on humanity
etc.

>today I learned Baoh was made by Jojo Araki

I mean with the Invaders in Getter Robo that didn't happen, they just beat the shit out of them.

Hence I said most of the time. I know there's an exception, but most aren't like that.

It's a shame, there needs to be more FIGHTING SPIRIT

Where can I read the full Getter Robo manga? I mean, I heard there is one.

the reapers in mass effect felt like a real unsurmountable threat until ME2 where EA replaced half the writing staff and told bioware to make it 'less boring'. Suddenly the whole galaxy has amnesia about that time where Sovereign WIPED OUT HALF THE GALACTIC FLEET ATTACKING THE CITADEL and the turian council leader says "reapers" with literal emoted finger quotation marks. Fuck you EA FUCK YOU FUCK YOUUUUUUUIUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

The aliens from Knights of Sidonia, their bone-like texture is cool as fuck.

>BETA : Kasumi sending an expedition group to inform the silicon lifeform leader that humanity is sentient
I never read past the original 2 VNs, but that seemed almost impossible with how far reaching the BETA were. It would legitimately be easier to wipe them off Earth and find backup planets to run to if they ever came back than find their source. And the fact that it was all an innocent mistake from an alien race who had no ill-intent but couldn't be told to stop made it all the more horrifying.

Jews.

>NTR
Why did you make me remember it

Silicon-based succubi that leech off humanity mastrubating online. They get stronger each time you fap.

The Beta.

I thought the Beta's leaders were extinct so they were all just following their last orders and thus couldn't be reasoned with because they're basically just a tool that someone forgot to turn off before they left and died?

What is this? The one where MC rides off with rapedalot loli into the sunset in the ending?

But the BETA are weak as shit.

Sup

Oh fuck yeah, that reminds me I should read the manga. I have a high tolerance for dumb things but does it get really slow at any point? I don't care if the plot becomes ridiculous so long as I still get my high-tension bugfights.

A shame they're not canon rapey.

Well I might get some fun out of it until I get caught up

Frieza's race is very spooky when you think about it. It's as if everyone is like the kid from that new capeshit horror movie.

That's from Muvluv Exogularity.

Humanity can FTL travel by then and went to make contact with the silicon life form.

It suffers from the same shit every other monster vs human series do.
>"Humans were the REAL enemy"
And boy did Terra Formars crank this up to the max. It stops being interesting when everyone is fighting humans and roaches become sideline for a good chunk of the series. What sucks is the roaches were the only interesting thing about this series because they are always doing or seen doing ridiculous shit.

That's because all the BETA we've seen so far is worker drone. We haven't seen what beta fighting unit can do yet, pic related.

Weak as shit.

There needs to be more art of the Invaders, they're just so cool

There was one race in a side-scrolling shooter that infected spacetime or something.

That reminds me, why are the monsters in Cthulhu mythos are supposed to be scary, would they be as powerful or more powerful compared to the ones mentioned here?

It's some silicon based life form that made them, it didn't consider carbon based life forms "life".

Frieza doesn't even have a race, Toriyama said he's a mutant hybrid.

I'd recommend reading it until after the second mars expedition and just drop it there

Festums, those golden bastards are strong as hell.

>I want to get into macross but it seems sort of intimidating.

Compared to something like Gundam, not hardly. You only have to really worry about SDF, Frontier, 7 and Delta as the big time sinks with everything else being a movie or shorter OVA.

Just watch it in order and you'll be through it in no time.

That was R-type.

>why are the monsters in Cthulhu mythos are supposed to be scary
Because they're a sign of mankind and the readers insignificance in a larger unfeeling cosmos. Their powerful beyond words, yes, but the terror isn't their might but rather how little they care about us and could destroy us as callously as a man steps on a bug. Comapred to most invading beasts they are beyond our comprehension and will rarely if ever even so much as acknowledge us.

came to post this, these things are geuinely pretty unnerving and the way that they are written to be these adaptible and resourceful killing machines that only see humans as pests make them great villains

i dropped it like a brick once they got off mars. its like all of a sudden all the tension disappeared. all of the fighters on this fucked unknown planet with super powered nigger roaches was really the main draw. all the humans had a reason to fight and they you rooted for them and want them to go home safely, well fuck all of that roaches are on earth too

>Festum
>pacifying end
>reached
Still nowhere there. Communicating with the Festum and teaching them humanoid sentience arguably only made some of them worse after Polaris got split.
And while you're not entirely incorrect about the Vertexes, it was more of a "punch Amaterasu in the face with all of humanity and land gods' combined powers for fucking with them while convincing the land gods (+Tsukuyomi/Susanoo) that humanity can stand up for itself".

In real life they'd be horrifying, but they literally look like an oldschool racist nigger stereotype that they are impossible to take seriously as a reader.
