So... Dunbine

What can you tell me about Dunbine? The (bug)mechanical designs are beautiful... but if there is one thing I have learned from /m/ series is not to dive into it for the mecha designs... is the story really worth 49 episodes?

The first 2/3 is classic Tomino angsty, shit-blowing-up, people dying, fucking war is hell awesomeness. Last 1/3 is garbage.

Yes, although the designs suffer a bit under the budget limitations.

Wings of Rean on the other hand has very nice looks but the story is almost incomprehensible.

First half is fairly okay generic fantasy fare but with bugmecha. Still kinda badly written dialogue scripts and directing since it's Tomino after all. Second half is painfully ridiculous.

I also got into it because of the designs and I'm not regretting it at all, it's an okay watch "with the right mindset", but nowhere near a good anime.

Also, about the story.... yeah, this is one of those shows you don't watch for the story. It's pretty damn stupid. Just enjoy the fantasy setting while you can.

The dub is amazingly goofy.

Not seen Xabungle can't comment
Daitarn 3: Happy Tomino, James Bond in a mech roughly
Zambot 3: Annoying kid protagonist, crazy villain, bad end
L-Gaim: Sorta star-wars like, plot gets a bit convoluted, (not fully subbed yet)

Zambot 3 has a happy end. Daitarn's end is far sadder.

I have, it's happy in that no-one dies. But it's dark ambiguous, the 2 episodes near the end are very different in tone to the rest which is hijinks.

Surviving doesn't make you happy. The protagonists survive Baldios but it's a world not worth living in.
Everyone dies in Ideon yet in the end they are happy.

I like Dunbine a lot.

The story is not anything amazing, but it's ok. Characters are generally sensible - not in the sense that they always take the best course of action, but that what they do makes sense based on their personality/history/etc. and they're not idiots. Combat is usually interesting and often inventive. Stock footage is quite rare. The mech designs are pretty damn great.

Pic related to a character not being an idiot.
