she apparently failed in a pretty important mission and got captured i'd be pretty bummed too. i mean i guess she could be 100% stoic about it but she also seems to be a teenager

the cheerleaders seem pretty competent though, but yeah it's pretty funny that two women got their gundam stolen from them, though in raraiya's case it seems like she just bailed as soon as poo poo looked bad, leading to her own brain damage

Nobody is saying it doesn't. It is the fact that the argument is focused around "crying is bad" which is what makes it kinda worthless.

I understand what you're saying but Aida is crying.

She was prepared enough to have that suit, but not a helmet or pxygen?

I know, right. Maybe she thought the power of flying squirrels would possess her and empower her

I must admit that this is the sort of thing I expected when I heard they were intentionally trying to make the show more feminist:

In her defense, Manny seems pretty reasonable so far for a Gundam character.

Kind of hoping this turns out to be the case, however.

My favorite bit about that part was that I totally expected her to gently caress it up but she NAILED that poo poo

it would have been pretty funny if she had bailed in a particularly egregious way, to be honest

This, too, is a truth of Feminism 101

Monday is just like... even if she's supposed to be a weird Tomino parody of a moeblob, she's still basically one. Maybe he'll do something more with her but it's an awful awful start.

I kinda of feel like maybe she is since she's literally brain damaged to be that way but I don't want to think about it too hard because I know there is a deep dark hole that I will fall down

I leave for a day and the conversation took a turn for the weird. Or is this what passes for normal when it comes to discussing Gundam shows? Regardless. You know what confuses me from all this?

Why is this only 25 episodes? Are they sure Tomino can keep it succinct and punchy?

Wasn't this supposed to be a completely different thing from Gundam altogether, according to the Old Man himself no less?

Seriously, why is this still not available in 'murica / M�xico via legal means?

Am I still allowed to be mad at Gundam Seed for being a festering pile of unequivocal garbage and wasted ideas?

Because that's how much they want to fund it for, and Tomino is hard enough to work with already,
Yes, but Tomino likely had to cede ground on that because of good old "Executive Meddling"

They're going up to train and do repairs on the cable.

It... it doesn't really explain why the cheerleaders are there beyond 'the got snuck onboard somehow or something?"

It is a part of the fine husband finding tradition.

Until something is said otherwise, i'm going to assume that was drama particles. and i wouldn't be surprised if tomino doesn't do anything else with psycoframe stuff after how overboard unicorn went with it.

Well no-one's died because of Gunpla Insanity in a few decades so maybe he just passively instead of actively hates them

I've seen similar complaints, or, not even complaints, but comments, made in threads about other popular things, like the Attack on Titan manga. People will bring up things about not knowing a character's motivation, or why they did a thing, when the thing JUST happened and the story is not even over.

When there's large gaps in between things, it's easy to overanalyze or overthink things, or think about things that are not immediately relevant during the wait. Personally, I have a really bad memory so I don't tend to argue about specific details as much as just laughing at things I think are silly or dumb. I do remember, and will always, however, remember Bellri pooping in the Gundam because that's really funny to me.

Here's the only things that have bothered me so far:
Raraiya Monday

Other people should, and have been bringing up things that aren't like Feminism 101 surface level analysis, which is already inherently hilarious to apply to Japanese media, let alone a medium that is basically Shrek: the TV series or Lazytown but from a culture that none of us are members of or participate in.

I like Tomino but the only person in anime I'd ever give a free pass to is Yuasa.

If G-Reco does wind up being like Brain Powerd then sure, I'd rightfully talk about how much of a let down it is. But I've enjoyed these first few episodes so much that I would be incredibly surprised if it sinks that low.

Unlike where Brain Powerd was with this many episodes, I have a decent idea of what the setting entails and what the conflict is going to be about. And while Bellri's motivations are a bit quirky to me at this point in time (Which isn't a problem since like muike said, it's still in progress), I can at least say that it establishes him as being a really impulsive guy so there's that. I like most of the cast so far (the character animation helps so much in that regard, lots of nice little touches that go a long way) and yeah Raraiya could be handled better, but it seems likely that her condition is probably not permanent so I'm down with waiting and seeing where that goes before throwing stones.

And heck, I can't completely dislike Raraiya because the fact that she was watching Bellri poop while the other girls were looking away was hilarious as hell.

(I'd be down with seeing points addressed instead of generic rambling about how I only like this because of Tomino)

Those little details of her doing things are really funny, but it's super heavily contrasted by the fact that's she's basically an insane drooling retard, presumably from oxygen deprivation, but no one really seems to mind. She's also just really annoying when it comes to yelling about the Gundam, and despite being so early on, I really feel like they need to go somewhere with her quickly.

She's been gradually getting more and more active and capable, so I'm hoping they do something with her. And they're going the amnesia induced by oxygen deprivation route, so it's definitely something temporary.

With only 25ish episodes, they can't afford to keep her like that for long.

Yeah, but at this point I'm kind of afraid she'll be in gibbering brain damage land for the rest of the show. Maybe she'll end up about as sane as Tem Ray, which would be a step up. Even if she remains brain damaged a sense of agency from her instead of basically being a moeblob character in a moe-free world

Oh my god if she's intended to be like that I'm not going to like her and Tomino WILL be hearing about this!!
