I mean Jonathan Ross had a segment on one of his shows about Japanese culture where he kept calling it 'Goon-dam', getting it wrong is par for the course here. No one has met the level set by the Turn-A OP guy.

I love treize because everything he says and does is absolutely bonkers but if you pay enough attention there is a clear logical underpinning to him. Dude has an internally consistent and ostensibly logical philosophy, it's just some insane alien poo poo Not meant as a commentary on the ongoing conversation about villain philosophies. I am currently watching through wing with a friend who has never seen it and I just love treize

If I'm speaking carefully and slowly I can produce a "Mary," "marry", and "merry" that are different from each other, but in normal speech they all blur together for me. (For anyone who's curious, the difference as I produce/perceive it is analogous to the differences between "mate", "mat", and "met")

Not the more well known South English ones round London at least. Maybe some broader regional accents from places like Newcastle, but I don't even think they would off hand. It sounds more like what I'd expect from a thick Antipodean accent. Maybe South African. Not that I'm any kind of expert on those accents; it's just where I'd place them if I had to take a guess.

'Sinjin' is not a regional thing, but that is how you say it if you are old or posh or are Roger Moore. We are beyond hosed but it's important to get the details right.

Trieze rules and is cool and good, questionable tactics aside. Dude takes a rose hot tub bath while ordering a hit and almost lets a baby fall in a pond to drown in order to illustrate a point about the fighting spirit or something. Honestly it's one of the things I'm looking forward to when I get to Wing as my final Gundam series on my franchise watch. I loving love it, no matter how incomprehensible or badly animated. I'm 5 episodes in to ZZ and enjoying it so far. Beecha is less annyoing than the thread had lead me to believe but I can also see the seeds that will lead me to reach that point though. Mashmyere is weirdly endeering in his incompetence. Elle and Judau are grate. I feel a little silly putting it off for so long.

Beecha's annoying attitudes end up being actually part of his damned character growth into defacto head of the gang later in the series. I just wish ZZ had done that over the whole run instead of condensing so much into the last 1/3rd of the show. Elle and Judau are really the gems of ZZ. Despite my general blahness about ZZ Judau is a very good gundam protag.

Gundam has always had ridiculously accomplished young major characters, from the twenty year old Captain Char to Kudelia Aina Bernstein becoming the voice of Martian independence at eight, but even by those standards Wing is a standout. It's not 15 year olds happening to be the Gundam pilots, even. It's that the world's most brilliant scientists all independently decided that 15 year olds were exactly what they wanted for a highly sensitive secret mission using atomic powered superweapons. Everyone in Wing is insane.

They also gave them "special training" that let them survive falls from impossible heights I want to know what the gundam pilot training consists of. It's comical how much bullshit the gundam pilots (and zechs) pull off/survive and "they've been given special gundam training" is the only in universe explanation that's ever given

Wufei, like Trowa, is a replacement pilot choice since Meilan was supposed to be Shenlong's pilot until she died. Trowa got Heavyarms in a cooler fashion imo but I will always be a bit annoyed that we got Wufei instead of Meilan.

If we didn't have Wufei we wouldn't have Wufei getting completely owned by Treize three times, so who can say whether it was bad.

They didn't pick the best of the best, it was more like, "Hey, you seem like you'll be willing to do this and also kill yourself and blow up the Gundam if anything goes wrong" It's a mix. Duo was trained for the role for three years, Quatre was recruited after his time with the Maganacs impressed Inspector H, Heero was a longtime asset for the organization, "Trowa" was a last second replacement, and Wufei joined up because his wife died. So, yes. It's mostly every organization in After Colony being ultra keen on the use of child soldiers as their most elite pilots. Arcsquad12 posted:Apart from the mechanical designs being excellent dies anyone else think Victory looks visually flat? Considering it's right before G Gundam and Wing the jump in art styles to those two series is striking and they're much more 90s anime aesthetic than Victory. Victory has a pretty bright color palette overall but I think it worked better for Turn A than it does for V. It's not just bad looking in comparison with future shows, but the earlier ones too. You look at scenes from Zeta or ZZ, they tend to be better looking than Victory as well. Victory's just an ugly series.

Victory doesn't have the shading that the other 90's Gundams have, in exchange it has a lot more actual animation than they do

It's been a while since I watched the episode but I just did a quick flip through of GoL and it's the very first part of volume 10. the reason is basically to avoid being taken in by OZ since they tracked Wufei back to his home colony. There's also a conversation between Wufei and Elder Long has a thing about how obeying the will of heaven and accepting extinction as part of learning to fight. It's a weird section.

Also Zechs quotes Kant at Relena in GoL when she goes to space to try and stop him. Totally forgot about that until I skimmed through looking for the Wufei colony thing.

The existing pilots of the Wing Gundams weren't the originally planned ones. They're just whoever the scientists could scrape up when they decided that the colony rebels were too murder-happy who they thought would 1. not immediately lose the Gundams and 2. would not follow Operation Meteor as planned in any way, shape, or form.
