ImpAtom posted:I'm not sure you can adopt anything with those pilot suits into a good anime. They're no worse than the pilot suits in Eva. Darth Walrus posted:Apparently it's pretty hilariously hypernationalistic, too, though I guess that (literally) fetishising the shogunate rather than the Meiji/Showa empire is a small plus. I'm not saying it's not nationalistic but most of criticism that it's received from that is from people who didn't understand the coup arc or what America and Japans role in world politics is in the Alt verse. They've also massively backed off from the more nationalist stuff in the new adaptions coming out. DamnGlitch posted:Bugwar gundam is called muv luv alternative, and for the life of it it cant get adapted into a halfway decent anime. There's no way alternative would be great, maybe good, but not great without including unlimited and extra. But there's no way people are gonna sit through 10 episodes of highschool hijinx, lacrosse, and cats cradle to get to the alien killing.

MonsieurChoc posted:No but seriously, the 00 authors must have read a lot of old sci-fi like Asimov and Clarke and it shows and that's why it's great. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. Like out of all the AU's 00 is the only one that goes into the crazy 70's Sci Fi poo poo like the original series did.

Kanos posted:I should elaborate a bit, actually. Kincaid/Vera don't really ACT massively different than Seabook and Cecily for the most part(some very specific oddities like Cecily being gung ho about taking up the Ronah name despite Cecily spending her entire life up to that point avoiding being a Ronah to the point of killing her own father aside). It's just that Crossbone in general bears extremely little relation to F91 despite the characters and setting being the same and I feel like there was no reason that they had to include Seabook and Cecily at all because they had a solid ending already in F91.

For Unicorn's ending Imagine if the framers of the constitution had added an amendment that "Pioneers adapted to the ways of the Ohio valley and other Territory, should they emerge shall be granted, prominence in government". It's just a nonsensical and impossible thing to add to a piece of legislation

Victory probably has the best choreography of a full length series, uso manages to consistently pull off crazy poo poo with his dividing suit gimmick the whole way through, and the weirdness of the zanscare suits brings a strange dimension to a lot of fights that you don't see in most series.

They supported the Titans until the end of the gryps conflict. And there was a Hardline faction that was supposed to have been supporting the sleeves.

Anybody who finds ibo's characters to be well realized but thinks g reco's are alien are certifiably insane. The characters in reco are humans who've grown up in a different cultural context. The guys in ibo are what people who've never been within the same time zone as a warzone thinks child soldiers are. Don't get me started on harem gangster.

The cultural context in the two shows is completely different. The earthlings in turn a have experience in war. It's that they're utterly eclipsed technologically by the moonrace. The amerians in reco are constantly at war with others over the limited resources and are very aware that they've been held back technologically by the capital. The capital forces, and Venus globe are more "innocent" but their war fever is as much a reaction to the collapse of a system that had been going on for God knows how long suddenly breaking down and the people in charge making rasher and rasher decisions to capitalize on the collapse.

Kanos posted:I think SEED Kira is a fine protagonist who is a lot more interesting than Banagher. He has emotions, goals, and a recognizable narrative arc. Destiny damns him, but Destiny is trash that pretty much fucks up everything it tries to do. I don't think it's fair to call Char a fanfic character. Dude is never as smart, capable, or skilled as the people he's against, and his list of flaws is pages longer than his abilities.

Char gets wrecked by an inexperienced kid piloting a prototype. Loses every battle in the first series. Get's run by Yazan, Buran, and Haman. Is a weirdo with mother issues who watches his girlfriend/mother figure die in front of him because he's not good enough as a pilot. Loses the sociopathic manipulation game to Scirocco. In the end all he's got is a teenage girl, mediocre piloting skills, and a family name. His own men even abandon him at the end of CCA.

I'm with you on the execution vs. the concept That said I'd be willing to blame more of his losses on Zeta on the Hyaku Shiki if Elle and Beecha didn't manage to perform just as well if not better than him in ZZ.

tsob posted:It's also probably the most interesting because it's not just a thematic image but is such an explicit part of Setsuna's development and character. He deifies the idea and image of Gundam for a lot of the show, replacing the concept of "God" with that of "Gundam" because worship of God let him down and made his life so poo poo while a Gundam saved his life and he simply wants to be a soldier for one instead of the other with the story revolving around his questioning of what that means and how to do so.

Frost Ace posted:Is The Origin manga a decent way to get the 0079 story if I don't have a good way to watch the original series? Id recommend the compilation movies over origins, but more so that there more of an alternative retelling of events, and it's interesting to see that after having seen the original. But yeah you can start with origins and be fine

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:My very first exposure to gundam was a GP01 action figure I got from a relative on my birthday, followed some years later by the Federation vs Zeon game for PS2, which I would argue is still one of the best gundam games out there I would kill for another game in that mold where you were some nameless grunt and chose missions and got new MS's over the course of the game. Gundam vs zeta Gundam was good, but loving with the timeline didn't feel as good as carving out your own place on the list of aces from the one year war.

Bloody Pom posted:The way this works is somewhat hilarious. Officers in GG exert a zone of control which applies their stat-altering effects in a radius around the unit they're assigned to. The higher the officer's rank, the larger the zone. Higher-rank officers also override officers below them within that zone. So if you have Gopp and, for example, Bright in the same combat group, Bright's amazing stats get negated just by being in proximity to Gopp's incompetence. Frighteningly accurate portrayl

tsob posted:Scirocco mentions it when talking to Jerid and Maour at one point, though I'm not sure if that's the same scene you're thinking of. He basically explains Jamitov's motives, then compares those motives to AEUGs and says his own motives seem similar but that he's not "bound by Earth's gravity" i.e. that while AEUG and the Titans just want to contend over the Earthsphere, and maybe move everyone in to space one way or another, he wants to push people out from Earth beyond the Earthsphere. Yeah Its been a while since I've seen zeta so I'm struggling to remember. I think he might go into his goals too at some point when he's talking to jerid in his weird inner sanctum

As far as I know they're far more willing to ignore small discrepancies and look at the work as a standalone piece instead of trying to cram it into a Canonical framework. I'm not Japanese so I'm sure there's others who can tell you more about their perspective
