Trans-Am Raiser is both better (to me) and criminally underused. I think it really kicked in two, or maybe three times during S2, and once during the movie?

The movie version was Quantum Burst which I honestly think is a little stronger. Mostly just on the strength of the opening.

Why would someone shoot a man, before throwing him out of a plane?

I know, right. If you shoot him before throwing him out, then somebody has to spend hours cleaning up the mess. Much more hygienic to do it the other way around.

It's funny. When toonami was the only source for Gundam, Wing was the whipping boy and 08th MS was the golden child.

There's a new scene where Asemu gets the AGE-1 Swordia. He attacks an enemy who blocks with its beam saber.




Asemu cuts the loving beam saber in half. That is the funniest god drat thing ever. It breaks like it was made of metal.

AGE worked hard to gain its title of stupidest Gundam, please recognize its efforts.

I have not actually seen AGE and I probably never will unless for some bizarre reason they decide to dub it. However I do remember having a similar conversation last time I tried to say all Gundams are equally misogynistic.
"Nope, AGE is easily the most misogynistic."

It's kind of amazing.
So which Gundam is the wor-
AGE.
Which is the most miso-
AGE.
Which has the worst prota-
AGE.
etc.

The Gundam fanbase was one of the most divisive, disagreeable groups I had ever known before I actually joined it. Now I see they all agree on two things:
1. War in the Pocket was great.
2. AGE was a crime against humanity.

People recognizing the One Truth that Wing is great has gotten me to start rewatching Wing, and at the risk of getting a bit Goku vs. Sephiroth, Wing's general tech level would wipe the floor with basically any other series excluding the Turn A, especially given that if gundam nerds are to be believed Leos are protagonist suit levels. Just the AI for mobile dolls alone is probably above any of the other series. And then the gundams themselves are practically indestructible.

The only things remotely interesting about AGE are the mech designs and the concept of a multi-generational story.

It's not so bad it's good. It's barely interesting to watch. It really is the Worst Gundam.

^^edit: There's not much to say about G-Saviour. It's a bland cheap sci-fi movie that is loosely associated with Gundam.

I finally got around to watching War in the Pocket.

I broke up laughing at dramatic ending because in the dub version, someone describes Bernie's body as being "a pile of hamburger".

Took me totally off-guard during a fairly emotional scene.
