Is Gundam Thunderbolt a good show/a good show for people with no knowledge of Gundam?

chiasaur11 posted:They're also the side whose goal is to make the opponent surrender, then not murder them. Murdering them is considered a consolation prize. "This suit is so much better than those arms and legs I lost!" is not the sign of someone in a healthy state of mind. Io plays his jazz because it's the only way for him to deal with the poo poo he's presented with each and every time he steps out on the battlefield. When he becomes a PoW the Zeon guards holding him pay him back in spades for it, and what they do is not depicted as excusable or justified. They have about 75 minutes to drive home how loving awful war is, I'm glad they didn't spend their time going "The Feds have child soldiers, now let's go see Zeon's child soldiers!" and trying to show each side had the exact same poo poo going on, letting the viewer infer just how awful things are for both sides from what we're shown. I'm not sure how you came out of seeing Thunderbolt concluding Zeon was shown to be great while the Feddies are bastards, the way the Zeon lab techies use Daryl as a guinea pig and saw off the rest of his limbs just so they can get some results for their new suit is pretty brutal. It's also worth mentioning Thunderbolt doesn't take place in the same universe the shows did, it is somewhat different. TheKingofSprings fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Dec 17, 2016 |

Gundam's 40th is in like 2 years, right? I'd be excited if they announced a remake of the first series for it. It would have really good odds of being better than the LoGH remake at least

I think I like the second G Gundam opening the most, it's pretty much perfect for the show G Gundam is.

Schneider Heim posted:While we're on the subject of names, did Tomino follow any logic in naming mobile suits, aside from Gundam and Zaku? Like, how did he come up with Gelgoog, or The O? I've heard The O is short for "The Oberon" but I don't know where that comes from.

Arcsquad12 posted:I don't really find the designs from 00 very appealing. The exia and the tieren are alright but the others (especially the non Gundam suits) look so basic and barebones that they have no character whatsoever. I may say that okawara was being lazy as gently caress with his grunt suits in SEED being straight lifts from UC, but at least he was copying designs with some actual visual flair. Virtue is one of the best suits of all time

tsob posted:What does this even mean? It means that the original Gundam was fairly dark relative to a lot of it's contemporaries and comparing it only to the work Tomino finished preceding it is a little misleading TheKingofSprings fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Oct 12, 2017 |

Arcsquad12 posted:I love how thunderbolt undercuts the "can't we get along" speech between Cornelius and Carla by having some less charitable GM jockey use the opportunity to vaporize the zeon suicide pact The jazz that plays right as Carla's pulled out into space was the cherry on top, Thunderbolt's soundtrack is amazing

Raxivace posted:Hasn't he said like, the exact opposite in regards to sexual content in anime before? I think the idea in those interviews tie in neatly here: the idea behind a lot of those series is will-they-won’t-they teasing combined with providing a sexless cipher for the viewer to visualize themselves as and relentless, ceaseless fanservice. Those are the things he seems to be taking umbrage with. And I’m super sick of it too so hell, I agree!

grassy gnoll posted:I think it's probably a mistake to assume much anything in Tem Ray's life changed after the oxygen deprivation. Maybe his engineering ability is a little rougher, but he was just as lovely a dad before he was spaced as he was after. Yeah I think the real world existence of parents with dementia or alzheimers and the personality changes they undergo have something to say about what a guy's brain and mannerisms might be like after severe permanent brain damage

gourdcaptain posted:Tem, does at least have the point of being the most comedically wrong person in all of Gundam for designing the Gundam to end the war so children his son's age won't have to fight in it. (Cut forward to Victory Gundam and the Federation general talking about the Federation's proud history of child soldiers.) I mean, in fairness, it did essentially end the war. It was just that the corrupt governing body decided they wanted to cause a whole bunch more wars

chiasaur11 posted:Some of it's cultural, but in general Bright is shown to be a halfway decent dad, despite his absences. Hathaway seems to respect him, Bright breaks down sobbing when he thinks of the family time he missed, and the Japanese show shorthand for "this man is always at work... Because he needs to provide for his family!" seems to be in play. Even ignoring the curve, he's at least getting a C. Maybe a C minus. Bright is also doing his level best at stopping his family having to live under space fascists, we add extra credit for that
