Absolutely THE MOST brutal takedown I've ever seen in an anime. No instant death pressure points or fighting ghosts, no exacto swords or magic or anything. Just an old tank rifle, a couple of mines, a truck jack and hit-and-run tactics that would make Solid Snake proud. Oh, I almost forgot, and a handheld Pile Bunker.

@@patron8597 He didn't outrun bullets. The guy in the armor was playing with him. The people in the stands even point out how skilled both are and their tendencies in battle. That said, running for several minutes with minimal breaks with 50-70lbs of gear/weapon is tough. Furthermore, it can be inferred from the design/art choices the aiming in the mech is direct. Not assisted. So 360 no scope head shots while playing sick riffs in your cockpit aren't happening in this universe.

Using an anti-armour rifle against mecha and needing to use strategy and equipment to overpower them is a premise with limitless potential. I wish this idea got more fleshed out, maybe a 0083 Rebellion style reimagining that uses more scenarios and builds off the foundation of the OVA. I'm happy to hear that the masters have been found, gonna have to rewatch it now that it's in better quality.

Observe there is an anime for that. Called massive heavy object. It's about two mech engineers who fight mechs with nothing but their brains and hands. And the girl one of them likes who happens to pilot with heavy object herself. Trust me the fights are SUPER TENSE and the dudes? they're no where NEAR as tough as this guy but full on fight mechs that were strong enough to survive missile strikes straight from high orbit.

However both series were produced by the same studio, Sunrise. As for sound design, you can hear a lot of sound effects repeated in Sunrise shows in the 80s and 90s. Ryousuke Takahashi is directing another anime this year, called The Fable based off a manga. Crazy that he's still making stuff when he's been at it since the 70s.
