(Also, the discussion of Biscuit Griffon made me remember that he's got basically the same proportions as Ryu Jose. It's just that he's surrounded by the NBA All Stars, so he looks short and wide rather than massive.)

Neddy Seagoon posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJP_8T1YPGI Yes! Several! Meanwhile, in the waiting, I decided to see what the odds were of a Gundam show or film being good over the decades. I already ran the numbers for the 2012-2022 era (75 good hours, 69 bad hours, and 6.5 hours of G-Reco), so I went back further to break it down decade by decade. There's a few small things (like ZZ Frag) left off here, including all the compilation films, and a few things more I couldn't decide on, mostly due to lack of experience, but it's a start, at least. (A likely contentious start.) Time is divided into "episodes" to ballpark runtime. It's cheating, but it gets things done faster. 1972-1982: Mobile Suit Gundam: 43 episodes, good. In terms of percentages, we're starting off strong at 100 percent good Gundam. It's a logical product of limited selection, but the original show is still one of the best. With great characters, clever plots, and an astonishingly low budget, Gundam's run for the first listed decade of its existence was a winner, only partially due to not existing for the bulk of the decade. It's all downhill from here. 1982-1992: Zeta Gundam: 50 episodes, good ZZ Gundam: 47 episodes, bad Char's Counterattack: 4 episodes, good SD Gundam: 5 episodes, bad (categorized individually, some would be good, but going episode by episode makes this even more maddening, so I'm skipping out on that particular complication. ) SD Gundam Gaiden: 4 episodes, bad War in the Pocket: 6 episodes, excellent F91: 2 hours, bad Stardust Memories: 13 episodes, bad. Total: 133 episodes. 45 percent good, 55 percent bad. I'll admit right now, there's a lot here that I could be swayed on. If watching or rewatching more ZZ and Stardust sells me on them, this could quite easily pivot over to a positive. There's a lot of good Gundam here, even with how hard an act to follow the original was, but a lot of the SD stuff was painful, and F91 just doesn't come together, despite its many virtues. Gundam was all UC and SD in those days, and almost all Tomino. That wouldn't last. 1992-2002: Victory Gundam: 51 episodes, bad G Gundam: 49 episodes, good Gundam Wing: 49 episodes, bad 08th MS team: 12 episodes, good Gundam X: 39 episodes, bad Endless Waltz: 3 episodes, bad Turn A Gundam: 50 episodes, good Gundam Evolve: 7.5 episodes, good. Total: 260 episodes (rounding). 45 percent good, 55 percent bad. Look, sometimes you gotta shoot from the hip, even if the decisions seem arbitrary. This decade wound up about the same as the last one. Some great stuff, some bad stuff, a lot of weird stuff, and even most of the stuff I think isn't good is at least interesting, with G and Wing showing that Gundam could have mainstream success even without Tomino (which was good, because he needed some distance to clear his head enough for Turn A). Unfortunately, the worst was yet to come. 2002-2012: Gundam SEED: 50 episodes, bad SD Gundam Force: 52 episodes, bad IGLOO: 9 episodes, bad SEED Destiny: 50 episodes, bad Stargazer: 3 episodes, good Gundam 00: 50 episodes, good SD Gundam Sangokuden: 52 episodes, ??? Awakening of the trailblazer: 4 episodes, bad Builders Beginning G: 3 episodes, bad 273 episodes. 19 percent good. 62 percent bad. Even if Sangokuden is, unlike every other SD show I've watched, excellent, it's not enough to save the decade. Between Gundam SEED's main run and 00's weaker back half (saved by an excellent final episode, and condemned by the movie), it was a rough time to be a Gundam fan, especially since my arbitrary cutoffs and dividing lines leave out Unicorn for (ugh) IGLOO as the only UC content. It was a dark time. And it was about to lead into AGE. Fortunately for everyone, Unicorn was also starting off. Love it or hate it, it provided a massive boost to Bandai's financials, keeping Gundam in good shape for Build, Origins, Iron Blooded Orphans, G-Reco, and all the other films, shows, and shorts that filled the last decade. I already summed it up, but to keep it quick... 2012-2022: 314 episodes. 47 percent good. 44 percent bad. More Gundam content than ever came out in the last decade, and (on average) it was better than it had been in a long time. Sure, there was a lot of dire stuff (Build Divers, AGE, SD Gundam World Heroes, SD Gundam Sangoku Soketsuden...) but there was a lot of good too, including two of the best Gundam movies in theaters, and a surprisingly decent net drama (which, like G-Savior, is not counted here). Witch will either close out the era in glory or ring in the new to a dire tone, but, on the whole, the cliche is true. It's a good time to be a Gundam fan. ...But that means we need to sum things up. 1,023 episodes. (Or about 500 hours, give or take. Mostly take.) 51 percent bad. 42 percent good. ...So, on average, Gundam isn't very good, and hasn't been since 1992. But there's so much Gundam, there's going to be something to like, and probably a lot of somethings. Life is about risk, and if you can't take a SD Gundam Gaiden from time to time, you'll never get to enjoy a Hathaway. And hey, everyone's got different tastes. Maybe you'll like Wing overall, or think ZZ's neat, or love X enough to not mind the initial formula and the weak main villains. There's no one right way to like Gundam, and as long as you're getting something out of it (even amusement at how bad a show is) then it's worth the hassle. ...Also, excluding SD Gundam means that Gundam is 55 percent good. So maybe the moral of this story is just to not watch SD Gundam.

chiasaur11 posted:big text Methodology and taste in Gundam aside, I think the biggest thing -- which is also "yeah, there's probably a Gundam for everyone" -- is that even respective Gundam shows are lands of contrast, with ups and downs in quality. Like I think there's a good middle stretch of Zeta that's kinda boring, ZZ's Dublin Arc is some peak Gundam, and I think everything in Destiny up to around Break the World is actually pretty good. And even some of the bad Gundams have a lot of good points or fun casts or great sequences (everybody loves the Freedom reappearing over Orb in SEED, iconic moment). I also do respect what Victory was trying to say even if Tomino kneecapped himself in the process. Just gotta approach Gundam with a clear mind and see what vibes and what doesn't vibe with you. Whether it's good or not doesn't really matter and at the end of the day you just gotta enjoy the stuff you wanna enjoy, drop the stuff you don't like, et cetera et cetera. Big franchise with uneven batting average, after all.

Big franchise with uneven batting average, after all. Massive. (Which is part of why it's so uneven) The closest competition for Gundam, Macross, has under 200 episodes in total. Gundam's managed more than that in the last ten years. And depending on how you feel about 7, Macross could be argued to have the worse batting average of the two. It's not surprising that a lot of Gundam isn't to everyone's taste. It's more surprising just how much has been successful to wildly successful. (The original, Zeta, ZZ, Char's Counterattack, Wing, G, SEED, SEED Destiny, 00, Build Fighters, Iron Blooded Orphans, Unicorn, Hathaway...)

chiasaur11 posted:Massive. (Which is part of why it's so uneven) I don't think you can really measure Gundam as a whole averaged-out Thing tbh; There's no consistency between project leads, or even the writing/tone/etc, so you can only really judge them on their own individual works. A good episode of Build Fighters isn't the same as a good episode of Iron Blooded Orphans, for example.

Yeah, judging Gundam as a whole isn't like judging a lot of western franchises as a whole, because Gundam is so much more willing than all of them to just take a big, weird, disconnected swing and do something completely new with the franchise. The closest is maybe something like the Justice League, which has also gone in a bunch of weird directions over the years, but even there it holds so much to its core that the deviations are the exception; it's very rare indeed that there's a Superman story that completely redefines the entire concept of 'Superman'. Meanwhile Gundam's become really known for not bothering to stick to that gospel of Gundam being the UC in/around the One Year War.

X has really had it's ups and downs in terms of how much the general fandom has liked it, but it's fallen pretty far in people estimation as newer series have come out and people have put less stock in how Gundam could've been saved in the west if they'd aired X instead of MSG. Endorph posted:x has some pacing issues and kinda weak villains but the villains being weak feels like its partly the point Eh, an ineffectual villain doesn't have to be a boring villain and X is filled with boring villains. The Frost's get the most criticism for being the final bosses, but the minor villains are also exceptionally bad. Nobody is going to bat for Bloodman or whoever the SRA guy is. They don't really have the weird quirks that Tomino would give them like M'Quve's obsession with vases and Kycillia, or the weird psychological hangups that Ramba Ral, Scirocco, or Char have, or even the over the topness that Treize or Azreal have. They're just kind of there
