tsob posted:They did announce SD Gundam: G Generation would be ported to Switch though. How likely is that to have an English sub or to be available outside Japan? I know some games get an English sub for the Asian market and just aren't available outside the area. And how easy is it to buy stuff on the Japanese Nintendo online marketplace if it isn't? I much prefer downloading games than getting physical releases so I'd prefer that than buying it on Play Asia if need be. It had an Asian release with English sub for the ps4 version, so I would hope they slam it all on to the switch and give that an english asian release too.

So I’m rewatching all of Zeta after like 10 years and I completely forgot about the part where Hayato and Kamille yell at Quattro for not admitting he’s Char until Kamille ends up screaming about adults and their lying, punching Quattro, and him crying “he’s too young to understand...”

Its been a while since I watched either, but I watched them around the same time and from what I remember they have a very similar breathless storytelling style that's light on narration and expects you to pay attention and pick details up on your own, largely dropping you into an existing world and expecting you to pick up on the setting rules on the run.

Thanks for the recommendations on weirdest Gundam, G-Reco is now lined up to be the next series I watch. I skimmed the Wikipedia summary of it about a year ago, and from reading about the negative reception I had wondered (hoped) if some of this reaction was due to the show being too weird for some of the audience. Tomino's statements that he thinks posterity will be kinder to it certainly suggested this. However in reviews I didn't see a lot of people talking about it being bizarre, just bad, whereas G Gundam was described as pretty nuts. So Thanks again for this, will hold me over until I get started on War in the Pocket. Guy Goodbody posted:If you liked Turn A Gundam the Overman King Gainer is another show you'd probably like. Holy poo poo thank you for this. I watched the opening on youtube and it was love at first sight. Just watched the first episode and it's really amazing. This was totally under my radar and would never have heard of it otherwise.

The bizarre part of G-Reco is more in its pacing and how, how much, and how fast plot information is given to the audience rather than any particular idea being incomprehensible on its own.

G-Reco makes more sense as an allegory than a straight read (it’s discussing Japanese rearmament), but it didn’t really feel like the characters earned their ending, which somewhat mutes the message.

Manatee Cannon posted:g-reco is bizarre partially because it explains gently caress all and and partially because the characters themselves do really weird poo poo sometimes G-Reco does actaully explain some stuff and in really awful ways too. Episode one has Bellri explaining that the big rig's arms are controlled in a given way, when just seeing him use the controllers and the arms moving would be pretty obvious and not need explanation. G-Reco's quick and/or background explanation of stuff comes across more as Tomino being pressed for time and just stuffing in things where he can and moving on rather than an implicit trust that the viewer doesn't need explanation shoved in their face. At least partially because almost all of Tomino's shows have the same tendency to include information in a much more informal way going back decades. Turn-A, made nearly 15 years before hand does the same thing for instance, and I wonder how many people realize that the show includes mention of a solar system exodus, that the Moonlight Butterfly itself was what buried the Borjarnons/Kapools/Muttowooos etc dug up throughout, that Dianna cannot remember the faces of her parents or that Gym is thousands of years old. King Gainer has the same episode count and a lot of the information is presented in passing too. The background for much of the show is written during the show's OP if I recall. G-Reco gets more recognition of it because it's newer and possibly does it more (though others do it enough that it's only a maybe), when the same is true of several of his previous shows. tsob fucked around with this message at 15:58 on Jan 20, 2018 |

G-Reco really needed a third cour to pad out a few parts that get otherwise rushed by.

Xarbala posted:Or if the show were just better paced overall it wouldn't feel like it needed a dozen more episodes. My thought exactly. G Reco and Gainer are both gorgeous, and if you like one you'll probably like the other and vice versa, but I had a sinking feeling a few eps into G Reco when it was clear it was gonna continue at the same ungainly pace the whole time. Very little felt like it had impact even the very weird stuff later on that could have really used an actual audience surrogate to go "Hey seriously guys what the gently caress?" Gainer I loved the first ep and then I had to stop because the characters were so bizarrely behaved I thought the translation was hosed up.

On the one hand G Reco is probably good, on the other hand it demands a lot of the audience (too much?) which is bad. Not even in an elitist "you weren't paying attention you pleb" way. it's extremely Tomino in that characters say things and do things with no regard for the audience so you have to piece together a lot and while you're paying close attention to what a character is saying trying to figure out what their actual deal is, there's stuff going on in the background of the scene that you'll miss. It's also really badly paced, which is another Tomino hallmark. That you can see the exact moment a certain character is cured and just pretending to be sick is super cool. The fact that you can miss that moment is not.

Didn’t they move the actual animation from a key character moment to the title sequence and replace it with a cockpit view of the same moment in the actual show?
