IBO is a show that has a cool setting, and good mech designs, but I can't be bothered to give a poo poo about any character on the show.

ImpAtom posted:IBO is okay but it suffers from a lot of wasted pacing and time. The last episodes have been a lot better but good chunks of S1 and S2 feel kind of badly paced and to be honest the split season didn't help it much. A lot of characters were put into wheel-spinning stasis until the second half of S2. Is there a Gundam show with consistently good pacing?

I'm thinking they meant along the lines of the long form series.

golden bubble posted:Is there a Gundam show with consistently good pacing? Not really though it depends. With IBO I genuinely feel like it wasted a lot of time because characters got very close to the end of their arc and then froze for about half a season. Now that they're past that it's picked up a lot but it kind of reminds of Geass S2 in that there's a lot of spinning-of-the-wheels for characters who aren't really advancing much. Orga and Mika basically are in the same position they have been for half the series it's just now it appears to actually be time to pay the piper. Kudelia has been Madam Barely Appearing In This Series. The villains genuinely feel like they've had the most development and characterization which isn't bad but... yeah.

That's the problem with any tv show going 50+. You're either too slow or too fast or not enough or too much.

I thought Turn-A's pacing was perfect for its kind of show. Also I didn't have a problem watching SEED, it didn't feel too fast or too slow for me.

I felt the last couple episodes of Turn-A were a little rushed, though the second half of the last episode was really good in a bittersweet kinda way.

I definitely remember Build Fighters S1 going at a respectable, efficient clip (give or take the odd fanservicey detour).

Yah I'd put it in third, insomuch as it has some pretty standard pacing for its type of narrative.

Both shows benefit from only being 26, although i felt g reco felt rushed in the last arc.

It seems curious to put G-Reco up for 'best pacing', though. It went at an utterly manic clip that gave the characters and setting very little room to breathe, not least because the once-an-episode fight scenes kept eating up screentime while often serving very little narrative purpose. I mean, yeah, the situation destabilising shockingly fast as a bunch of idiots started messing around with their incredibly lethal toys was the point, but the show didn't really invest that much into why we should care, and a lack of pacing for downtime seemed like a key part of that, and the endless conflicts made it difficult to get a proper sense of escalation.

I never found the pacing to be too fast for me to get detached from what's going on, and it managed to avoid sagging somewhere in the middle like most other Gundam shows, is my reasoning.

Zeta can be a little slow at times, but I felt that its pacing is pretty good for a 52 episode show. Characters get lots of time to develop, villains plot, fights happen, then people switch sides or die.

I never felt any attachment to what was going on in G-Reco to begin with, largely because of the pacing along with the sheer number of characters and different factions. That being said, I suspect that more than any other Gundam show G-Reco would benefit from being marathoned in large chunks rather than weekly airings.

I came in late for G-Reco and marathoned, I thought the opposite because I assumed having a week in between might sorta help processing? I kinda stopped caring about anything mobile-suit wise when they have random one-time variant attachments just fill time.

I agree with Turn A having good pacing, from what I remember G Gundam was paced pretty well.

I've be re-reading one of my favorite books, The Three Musketeers, and for some reason started thinking about remaking it with Gundam characters. So far I've got: Athos = Amuro D'Artagnan = Camille (he's totally the kind of guy to challenge three persons to a duel on his first day in town) Aramis = Quattro Porthos = Judau?

If I was going to rewatch Zeta, what would be the best way to do it? I know there's the relatively recent compilation movies, but I understand those make some alterations to the plot; do those matter enough to make it worthwhile to rewatch the whole series, or should I just do the movies, or some combination?

My understanding is that the movies don't add very much new animation and change the ending completely, in a way that's incompatible with ZZ. But if it's a rewatch, hey, knock yourself out.

The Compilation movies aren't terrible if you're re-watching. They're terrible if you're unfamiliar with Zeta, but if you just want a general refresher to remind yourself what happened, they're not completely terrible.

Even as a refresher they get janky as gently caress since you have to fill in gaps in the narrative yourself and the way they mix the old and new animation is quite bad. Stuff like a mech charging in to punch in new, modern animation, then the punch connecting is in the old animation. Or walking down a hallway and it constantly shifts, etc. It's maddening.

Yeah the gap in production is so severe the new animation doesn't mesh well with the old. The first movie doesn't have a lot of new animation but by the 3rd movie I think 60 or 70 percent is new stuff.

They didn't attempt to match it at all. I don't think they gave a poo poo (or were worried that a subtle difference would be more off putting than a stark difference). They should have just reanimated the whole thing, but that sort of defeats the purpose of a compilation movie. The new animation when it pops up is gorgeous though, and yeah there is a lot more new animation in the second and third movie (though this makes the shifts back to old even more bizarre).

Didn't the old animation have film grain and the new animation not?
