I'm perfectly fine with gundam saying "both sides are bad!!!!" As long as it's making "but zeon is clearly way worse!!!!!!!" Clear

From what ive read it doesnt seem like any of the G suits are in. Which means there will be a $30 dlc 3 months after release.

The Full Boost DLC pattern was 300-500 yen per individual suit(with special combo packs that included all the suits from a certain release period with some bonus stuff like portraits attached) and it seemed wildly successful, so it wouldn't surprise me for them to continue that model.

The music is good but I don't find it timed that well to the animation... Though that's fine. Never have I imagined that we'd have this, a few years back.

since I liked ibo, I've started looking into other gundam shows (last one I saw before ibo was g gundam as a kid). just got to the scene where they used the death star in 00 and I can't say I care for the show as much. the cast isn't nearly as strong any recommendations on where to go after this? outside of the ones I mentioned, I've already seen the original series and gundam wing

War in the Pocket, Thunderbolt, and the original show. After you finish the original show (or films if you don't have time commitment issues), watch The Origin.

As others have said, Turn A and 0080 war in the pocket most definitely. They're the best gundam shows imo. Also Manatee Cannon posted:any recommendations on where to go after this? outside of the ones I mentioned, I've already seen the original series and gundam wing Reading sure is hard

I was only familiar with his work on Mobile Suit Gundam, and I honestly really liked his music and found it to be as iconic a part of the show as Yas' designs or the Zaku or anything else in there.

just finished 00 gundam and I got some thoughts on it -I was surprised that the main character was actually from the middle east. I think that's pretty neat and not something you see a lot of -the show doesn't make good use of most of the extended cast and some of the motivations are dumb or poorly explained. also found it kinda hard to sympathize with a lot of them -the love interest is insanely useless and even actively detrimental to those around her a lot of the time; I don't like her -saji crossroad spent so much of the show being awful and then only got a halfassed change of heart where he was only willing to fight if it involved louise; I don't like him -speaking of saji, it's kinda hosed up that setsuna's answer to the situation with louise is to go out of his way to help when his response to lockon mk2's entirely similar situation is to say "don't worry I'll kill your girlfriend so you don't have to" -patrick colasour is a weird joke character. he was kinda annoying, but not so much that I hated him. he also didn't get much screen time so his romance with the colonel meant nothing to me (except in that the colonel's taste in men is terrible). surprised he didn't die -gn particles/quantum brain fields/innovators/etc are literally magic and make no sense. everything around them was dumb but in a way that I kinda liked -the mech designs are a so-so. definitely disappointing after watching ibo because barbatos is a a lot cooler than exia/00/etc -how the gently caress did the a-laws keep the death star wiping cities off the map a secret -why did anyone at all agree with the a-laws anyway. everything they did was cartoonishly evil overall the show wasn't very good imo. the plot was kinda dumb and heavyhanded and the characters left a lot to be desired. I didn't hate it, but... eh. gonna watch turn a next since that got the most recommendations

A lot of those problems you mentioned that are in the second half can be answered with "Because they decided to make it more like Zeta and that's what happened in Zeta so that's why it happened in 00". One of the really weird things about the space laser to me is, how there's this buildup to destroying it, it's a big deal, etc. And then a few episodes later there's another and they wipe it out effortlessly.

Manatee Cannon posted:The show doesn't make good use of most of the extended cast and some of the motivations are dumb or poorly explained. also found it kinda hard to sympathize with a lot of them I can definitely agree with this, especially in regards to someone like Wang Liu Mei who it turns out was basically in support of a revolution because she hated being the prime inheritor of her family. Manatee Cannon posted:The love interest is insanely useless and even actively detrimental to those around her a lot of the time; I don't like her Marina? She's not a love interest, and is never treated as one in the show - she's a maternal figure for Setsuna given that he killed his own mother. Someone for him to discuss morality and peace with basically. One of the things I like about 00 is that while Setsuna does become a really powerful being by the end, and things work out well for most of the cast Setsuna never gets over his social and emotional issues. He freaks out when Nena Trinity kisses him in season one, and he's still emotionally incapable of returning someone's romantic feelings by the movie despite having changed a good bit in the interim. Manatee Cannon posted:Saji crossroad spent so much of the show being awful and then only got a halfassed change of heart where he was only willing to fight if it involved louise; I don't like him This I disagree with though, at least partially, because I really liked Saji (and Louise I guess) during season one when they're just civilians who exist to show what effect Celestial Being are having on the world. I wasn't too fond of them becoming more central to the plot in season two in the first place, but I especially didn't like Saji being Setsuna's backpack since I think the Raiser destroyed the look of the 00 by hanging a plane on it's back and Saji would have been as useful helping Ian on the Ptolemaois. That said, I can understand and sympathize with someone who didn't want to fight and only did so to help his loved ones. Manatee Cannon posted:Speaking of saji, it's kinda hosed up that setsuna's answer to the situation with louise is to go out of his way to help when his response to lockon mk2's entirely similar situation is to say "don't worry I'll kill your girlfriend so you don't have to" Louise was operating under drugs and wrong information while Anew seemed to be operating of her own free will from what I recall. I imagine the fact Anew was about to give important information away and there was somewhat of a time limit on action counted too. Manatee Cannon posted:GN particles/quantum brain fields/innovators/etc are literally magic and make no sense. everything around them was dumb but in a way that I kinda liked Someone once laid out how GN stuff could, at least theoretically make sense. I don't know how much thought the staff put in to this stuff, but it does have a bit of verisimillitude at least. Manatee Cannon posted:The mech designs are a so-so. definitely disappointing after watching ibo because barbatos is a a lot cooler than exia/00/etc I disagree with this as well. 00 doesn't have my favorite Gundam designs, but I generally prefer the series' aesthetic to that of IBO (and find the show as a whole a lot better too personally), including preferring the 00/Quant to Barbatos.

I love the Exia, Dynames and Quant, Overflag and Tieren ground type. I think the Arios and a bunch of other designs are cool as well. I also think IBO has a ton of good designs. tsob posted:Marina?

The basic particle theory was pretty grounded (in its own rules at the very least and how various people used/abused them in the first season), it just turned into handwavy space magic bullshit in Season 2. Really you can dial down Gundam 00 to "Season 1 was fantastic, Season 2 had Sunrise Syndrome".
