Bloody Pom posted:The Rodi frame is the best IBO grunt, don't @ me. Can I @ you to agree? I love the Rodi's chunky design, and think it makes a refreshing change from the rather svelte frames of a lot of Gundam designs. Many of which are great too, mind, but the Rodi is cool partially because it goes against that grain. I preferred the Gusion when it had a Rodi style design as well, and think the Rebake and Full City are kind of ugly looking frankly. Though really, I think it's just the awkward looking skirt hanging off it's arse, because it just looks out of place given it's comparative size. tsob fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Feb 27, 2020 |

tsob posted:The Geirail is the Graze's predecessor and basically a Graze variant, since it features so little compared to the Graze and both the Shiden and Hekija are Hyakuren variants according to the Wikia. I had forgotten the Hyakuren was even a thing though, and didn't even know the Hugo was there at all so I'm wrong regardless. The Shiden is a new frame descended from the Hyakuren frame, like the Graze is a descendant of the Valkyrie. It's the first entirely original non-Gjallarhorn Mobile Suit frame since the Calamity war, even though it's descended from the previous Teiwaz models. The way you can see the lines of descent for most Mobile Suits in IBO is neat. It's also neat that most Mobile Suits aren't as good as the baseline mook suit.

G-Reco has extremely strong suit designs all around, even if i don't know what almost any of them are called. IBO is definitely high tier in terms of grunts and being able to see the lines of suits being distinct as mentioned is super neat.

The Rebake gets a pass because it's supposed to be weird, ugly, and cobbled-together. It has feet sticking out of its shoulders that have extra arms hidden inside them, for Christ's sake.

G-Reco's grunts are fantastic, I miss my old SD Grimoire av  I really hope the movies result in more Gunpla kits from the setting.

Finished IBO (big spoilers for other weirdos who are getting into Gundam late like me) I’m glad that Mikazuki realized that the place they were headed was all the friends he made along the way, normally that would feel cheesy but IBO was pretty goddamn bleak so my good weird boy dying happy with his dream realized and most of his friends safe felt bittersweet. Honestly the ending turned out way better than I thought it would, I didn’t want anyone to die but they mostly died happy Like someone else said it would be real cool if they did a sequel but it might be a hard sell without a lot of robot fights. Origin got away with not having a lot of mech fights though.

Origin had the benefit of being a spinoff/variant of a story that has already been told and has tons of merch to sell out there. Making a new story about Char Aznable and the rise of Zeon means you get to sell tons of your existing Char Aznable merch and Zeon gunpla, and you bet your rear end that they made new gunpla of the Origin versions of several mobile suits.

They also inserted mobile suits in to Origin when it wasn't really something the setting needed or was known for at the time, since mobile suits were supposed to have been pretty much an invention that debuted in the One Year War. Even as a manga story, Yaz was putting in mobile suits to help the action flow rather than using traditional military platforms or other means to create tension.

Tae posted:They have the spin-off IBO Rekko, it's about some gundam pilot working for a female mob boss The problem with Gekko is it really underutilizes the setting. It's like the author already had an idea for a Gundam manga and his editor told him it has to be IBO related so he did the bare minimum to connect the two.

But that’s not exactly what the canon is, so the quest continues.

X is pretty unremarkable honestly. I forgot just about everything in that show as soon as I had finished watching it. Victory, on the other hand, was like a traumatic experience. It's like if Gundam was a horror anime. There's a couple scenes in it that still make me feel a little uncomfortable to think about just because they're so horrible. I'd definitely recommend it if you've got a lot of time with nothing better to do (bus rides and elliptical at the gym in my case) and you don't mind feeling bad.

Victory is good and has one of my favorite moments in the entire franchise Reinforce Jr.but it's very grim and has some weird gender stuff that turns some people off. X is just kinda mediocre. But yeah G-Reco is fantastic

G-Reco's only real flaws are it requires your full attention 100% of the time for subtle details, and it's about 30-35 episodes of story crammed into 26. It's a good show.

G-Reco is for sure an "active watching" show. my roommate tried to watch it too and she bounced off in about 3 episodes because it never slows down or says anything twice. most anime goes way too far in assuming the viewer is a moron with a goldfish memory, and maybe G-Reco is a little too trusting on the other end, but it worked for me just fine. my biggest complaint is that the 'endgame' mobile suits didn't get to do a whole lot. G-Lucifer, Dahack, and Trinity kinda got screwed

I liked Victory too. It has some really weird parts and very questionable choices with a lot of the female characters but it was never boring and had excellent mech designs. Chronicle is one of the big issues for me but Katejina is an excellent antagonist and Uso is really likable. Plus Duker Iq, bringing back the ancient art of motorcycles and motorcycle based designs that are actually incredibly effective. I'd definitely recommend it.

Neddy Seagoon posted:G-Reco's only real flaws are it requires your full attention 100% of the time for subtle details, and it's about 30-35 episodes of story crammed into 26. I'm sorry, but the scene explaining what Kuntala were really cut down on my ability to sympathize with that argument. The show has Mask, a Kuntala, explain the concept to his all Kuntala squad, and they are all surprised. I mean, come on, man. That was possibly the clumsiest exposition dump I'd seen in my life, and I've seen some howlers. Beyond that, the show's got a major problem with its fight scenes. It's not that they're badly done per se. They're well animated, with cool MS designs and clever ideas. The problem is that there's one every episode, and most of them don't really matter. Nothing changes in the plot because of the battle. It's just a lot of time in the episode eaten up and some nameless extras blown up.
