Victory Gundam continues ZZ's weird fashion choices and well, I cannot say I hate it.

I do question the Cravats with the military uniforms now. What is wrong with a good tight collar you hippies?

Part of me hopes Victory continues with this weird mish mash 19th century meets modern sci-fi throughout.

I just finished Gundam Unicorn and I have never seen such a promising premise end in such a wet fart.

I'm probably a decade behind the times but I've always liked U.C. Gundam stuff and that was just a disappointment.

Sorry man :smith: welcome to the case of the Unicorn blues. Time to cherry pick what you liked from it and move on.

I nominate Puru 2 being the most annoying character to play in the 2nd Dynasty Warriors Gundam game due to the fact she exclaims how DARE you every time you use the ranged attack on somebody.

They could have gone with anything other than "hey this thing we signed that took a lot of time and people to write and was recorded on live TV.... uh, yeah we erased one part of it. AND NO, NOBODY REMEMBERS ANYTHING ABOUT IT"

:psyduck:

I had assumed it would have been something that made sense like "the Federation fired the first shots in the One Year War through proxies via Zeon" or something... you know, that has current day real life analogies

Edit: UC Gundam Thunderbolt looks like stupid fun though!

I really hope we get a late UC Gundam series where we follow one side who win and WHOOPS turns out they are the bad guys and they hollow out the Federation and set up the cluster gently caress that is the setting for Victory Gundam.

I would really like an OVA or something that basically just tells the story of SNRI from the meeting that decided that the Federation needed to ditch Anaheim all the way to the point where they declare they are BESPA.

Kai is many people's favorite character.

The Origin is very clearly written from a perspective of "Man, I fuckin' love Kai."

That's because when poo poo goes bad, Amuro descends into paranoia, Char descends into nihilism, Bright descends into exhausted frustration, Kamille descends into anger, and Kai descends into sarcasm.

Chronicle sucks and is dumb. The end.



I didn't feel that strongly one way or another about him until I got to Turn A. Seeing the magic of Harry Ord after wasting time with Chronicle really opens your eyes.

In The Origin he clotheslines a Zaku and sticks with his Guncannon until the end, calling the GM a piece of poo poo and remaining faithful. And that's in The Origin, where the Guncannon isn't a Project V suit and is a mass produced piece of poo poo inferior to the Zaku 1.

The Origin Guncannon gets a revamp using Project V technology at the same time as the GM is introduced, so from that point onwards he's basically driving a GM Cannon, but all that does is bring Kai being an ace back up to the same level of badass that he had in First Gundam, where the Guncannon wasn't a trashcan.

Also, to be fair, the stock Guncannon isn't that terrible, the main issue in that fight is that it has zero weapons capable of damaging Zaku Is because it is entirely kitted out for anti-personnel action (unlike the Zaku Is' anti-armour machine guns) and the pilots don't know how to fight mobile suits, because pre-OYW Federation MS doctrine was that they would be deployed against lightly-armed and -armoured infantry. Once they replaced the weaponry, it started holding its own in mid-range engagement, which is why Kai can shoot down Zaku IIs in it before the GM upgrade.

The Origin is interesting in that it is true to the show in that the White Base hierarchy of badassery is is like Amuro > Sayla > Kai. > Sleggar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hayato gently caress you Hayato loving fucker, as opposed to a lot of games and stuff where Hayato and Kai tend to be portrayed on somewhat equal ground.

That's a bit extreme but poor Hayato does get crapped on so much. He breaks down begging Amuro not to steal his wife and is so pathetic Zeon assassins hold off killing him because of it. (He does, to be fair, later get a chance to judo some assassins to save Amuro but still.)

Hayato's pretty much doomed to be a loser since he cries about how he's not as good as amuro and is clearly fraw's silver medal.

I bet Fraw wondered sometimes she didn't go with Kai. She could be running around the jungle in smart white business suit tripping dudes up and racing race cars instead of being step mother to Asteroid bait.

A Moneypenny in that time line, a wife to a sad sack musuem head in another poor Fraw is doomed to always be friend zoned by Amuro.

I'm feeling nostalgic after being destroyed by Unicorn.

Can I legally stream the original Mobile Suit Gundam anywhere? I've been searching all over but is this one of those dumb Japanese "YOU MUST BUY THE DVDS" sort of situations?

Like I would gladly pay $20 to watch it all on Amazon Video or something....... Didn't think it would be this difficult to give them some money.
