Dessel posted:Recoa's entire arc in the series is kinda....troubling by modern sensibilities. I really like how the execution of the whole episode where Reccoa turns evil, the pull of Scirroco feels sinister and horrifying in a way little else in the show does. I just wish it was for a character turn that wasn’t just “bitches be crazy!”

He also has a massive collection of Piccolo and Portgas D. Ace merch, and has even had a dog named Ataru and his most recent dog is Piccolo. I really hope episodes 6 and 7 of Unicorn have more of my beautiful shithead son, Kai Shiden.

My favorite part of Unicorn so far was Banagher spending time with the Garcenieres crew and realize they’re all humans who have their own reasons to hate the Federation, but then in the next battle Banagher’s horrified they’re casually slaughtering civilians, but then he tells Bright “they’re not bad guys!”

My biggest problem with Unicorn is that the conspiracy stuff isn’t well-written or executed, so something that isn’t even that complex feels a lot more complicated, and the Wow Cool Robot scenes are so long, they help drown it out as well. I’m enjoying it so far (I still need to watch the final OVA), but I’m checked out on the story.

You aren’t the first person to bring up Marida being better than the Ples, and I will agree I don’t like how Ple II was handled (I had to look up if she actually died, it was a Poochy-rear end moment), but she’s going to have to do some heavy lifting in the final episode to beat Ple I, who’s easily a top 5 Gundam character for me. A war machine not understanding family but growing close to a brother figure because she finds someone like her? Good enough that Witch from Mercury borrowed it and executed it well, too.

I’ve just started my first Super Robot Wars game (I went with X just for Gurren Lagann) and I can’t wait until I get to the Gundam stuff I have seen, unlike G-Reco and F91. I don’t really know about switching the pilots around, does that affect the story in any meaningful way?

Arc Hammer posted:There's something about how angular the SEED designs are that puts them off for me. I feel I'd like some of the mobile suits better if they were done in a different art style while retaining their same basic shape, if that makes sense. I haven’t watched SEED, but whenever I’ve seen at the model kits, it’s like the designers gave them all 5 sets of the Nu Gundam’s funnels.

I think this (along with the rest of the episodes where Hello Kitty gives Gundam the power of friendship) was also supposed to promote a festival thing celebrating both anniversaries, even with an appearance by Toru Furuya! …in March 2020

Nessus posted:Was Chara Soon officially a cyber newtype? Because she must have been one for a while given how much drat hair she had. It would be very funny if she was just like that naturally, and it would probably make her one of the greatest pilots of the UC given what she was able to do. When she returns to ZZ, they talk about her “training” and I think even enhancement, so possibly. If she was a Cyber Newtype, she’d be the only person made more sane by that treatment.

Mashymere becoming a Cyber Newtype is maybe the second biggest downgrade in the Gundam I’ve watched (the first is the Hyaku-Shiki to Delta Plus pipeline).

Arc Hammer posted:Don't watch ZZ because you think you'll need to see it to understand CCA. Watch ZZ because it's fun and good. ZZ provides some interesting context for CCA, but it’s not strictly necessary. The important part of ZZ is the Shangri-La gang and Roux, who all rule. There may be some naysayers who don’t like the comedy and think the show flips a switch from silly to maudlin like Futurama’s iHawk, but I like the shenanigans and it doesn’t flip like that, it builds up to it.

I like the clunkier, chunkier mechs in ZZ, but Zeta wins the mobile suit contest just for the Hyaku-Shiki and Dijeh alone.

The last time 0080’s music was brought up, someone mentioned it’s Al’s score, doing some cool robot adventures with your new big bro! It’s very fitting for Al’s POV, but it places it in its time less gracefully than other synth-heavy scores of the 80s.

PhoenixFlaccus posted:Finished ZZ. Didn’t like it much by the end. Just ran out of interest in the characters, can’t put my finger on why. The shounen pandering was way heavier in this series than others I’ve seen as well; in terms of how women are treated, the deluge of unique enemy mechs, and zeta zeta being a voltron. Chara “Boobzilla” Soon is a hell of a character.

The only parts I can think of that are truly messy are the Ple deaths, which don’t have the weight and aftershocks of other character deaths. Edit: oh wait whoops I forgot the Leina thing lol

Gripweed posted:Was Seed the first show that had Gundams which could fly long distances in atmosphere because they had wings? The Wing Gundam in Wing had Wings, but iirc it still needed to transform to actually fly more than just doing a big jump. Wing Zero flew through space and into the atmosphere with the angel wings in Endless Waltz.

brainwrinkle posted:It’s not for everyone, but G-Saviour is only an hour and a half! G-Saviour defender here, it’s really not terrible! It’s a 90s made-for-TV movie, so if you adjust your expectations to that level, it’s a cheesy fun time with some surprisingly good direction! And I really like the battle scene, the dated CGI and animation works in the favor of the movie to give the giant robots some weight.
