lol I'm still petty early on (Stage 8 I think) but I feel like SRWX is doing a pretty good job making the G-Reco plot seem fairly accessible.

At the very least, they are still better than Sekai just for actually being interested in Gunpla, and not having everyone they meet jerk off about how great and strong Riku and Yukki are and that they REALLY want to fight them. But yes, they're not much more than audience perspective stand-ins right now.

I mean, they are getting some hype, but it feels earned and proportionate in a ‘wow, that new player’s got a lot of raw talent, I want him on my team so I can train him to use it’ sort of way. Everything in GBD feels functional and solid except that the two leads aren’t interesting. They’re plausible, but not charming.

The first episode kind of set up the idea Riku was more in to the gunpla aspect while Yuuki was more in to the MMO aspect, with Riku getting so fascinated by the various gunpla and having shelves of them in his room post time skip while Yuuki just wanted to see the game play straight away; but that's been entirely abandoned and Riku's competitive spirit meant he's overtaken Yuuki as the gameplay focused one as well as really liking gunpla now so yeah, there's functionally no difference between them. And realistically, Riku was always going to be hyper competitive about the game play or else he wouldn't be much of a lead in a show focused on gameplay; so it seems kind of weird they didn't set it up the other way around with Yuuki as the one fascinated by gunpla in the beginning. Edit: I'd still say Divers is more fun than Try, and by a long way but that's because after the first three episodes I found Try dull as poo poo and it ties with AGE as my least favourite Gundam entry. I realize that Divers could still poo poo the bed too, but I find Divers better after three episodes than Try all the same (though Try has a better first episode), so I'm still hopeful. tsob fucked around with this message at 13:13 on Apr 27, 2018 |

In that regard, perhaps should've swapped Yukki and Momoka's character roles just so there's at least a front-and-center generic female lead instead of hanger-on. One thing I think is at least worth saying in their favour though is they haven't sidelined Yukki as just "the best friend/wannabe tryhard". He's been just as competent as Riku thus far.

Yea, I was thinking the same thing in regards to Momoka. And while Yuuki hasn't been sidelined in terms of competence, he also has no real purpose beyond being Riku's friend who's also there. He doesn't actually contribute anything beyond being another person in a fight; a role which Momoka is now filling too.

I just realised that that a home console SRW actually skipped a gundam series. They never brought in AGE. Woof, you know a gundam series bombed incredibly hard if THAT happened.

The only skipped series really is Build Fighters 1, since Try technically started after G-Reco.

To be fair, Age would be difficult to adapt in any SRW game unless they're willing to commit to sequels. But yeah, I don't think there's any suits pushing the SRW team to plan another series of sequels just for Age.

I'd really like to see a SRW try and commit to the full story of AGE somehow, giving it the Destiny treament. There's enough squandered good ideas there that could be mined into something cool

They've had multiple macross series in the same game and have had The crossbone suits and the zeta suits hanging out together. Not to mention multiple dimensions and what not. SRW never had trouble with timelines.

SRW games do a lot of parallel dimension stuff these days too which could work in AGE's favor. Like you could have young optimistic Flit be fighting old man Flit from another timeline who grew cynical because, Idk, he watched all of those Zambot 3 characters die or something in addition to his own problems.

Or Old Man Flint survived the ending to Baldios, and it turns out the AGE baddies helped with that plan, so... yeah, he has reasons to want them dead

I’m watching Gundam Origin V - Clash at Loum and I’m sad the Colony Drop is just narration and there isn’t as much reaction to before it actually hits. Other than that I’m finding it solid background noise to finishing PG Exia.

Left very little impression to the point where I've started it multiple times not sure I've watched it and gotten twenty minutes in before going "I'm pretty sure I have....?". Getting towards the back end of CDA whyyyy does nanai looks like my idealized girlfriend circa 2001...? Was very surprised when she showed up and as that particular design. I know CCA is like a decade later but that still seems like a rather radical change!

Crap. I don't know how you could properly convey the sheet terror of the colony drop in anime unless you were playing Threnody for Hiroshima over it while cutting to scenes from terminator 2 and Barefoot Gen. It's the single most destructive act in human history and while I like how impersonal Origin makes it, I could have done without the narration and just let visuals emphasize the horror.

The thing for me is they imply the navy couldn’t stop it in time and there was some divide between their attempt and it actually hitting that was a non-zero amount of time, I would have liked to see the on the ground freakouts.

Origin 5 puts a lot of emphasis on the colony getting gassed and comparatively not very much on the colony obliterating a third of the earth Which is a little odd but the colony gassing is pretty hardcore so I still like the movie

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:The gassing is incredibly softballed given that the last time it was depicted in gundam it was straight up a flesh-eating nerve agent. I really disagree with that. In the Origin we get to see the victims beforehand, and see their resolve. They're loaded up in the truck and they've got some guns from god knows where, and they're gonna fight. They know Zeon is gonna kick their rear end, but they're gonna stand up and fight for their home, even if it's futile. We get to know a couple characters, they're real people with hopes and dreams. They're making plans for the future. And then all of that is taken away from them. They don't get to fight back, or live their lives, everything just ends. All of those people were just a potential obstacle in Operation British, so Zeon ends their lives. I think that's important, that it's depicted that way. Not that they were killed, but that their lives ended. Their futures were taken away I think that's much sadder and more horrifying than that spooky zombie insta-haemorrhagic way it's depicted in 08th MS team, where it turns you into a withered up old person
