Newest volume of Gundam The Origin is so loving tense. A Baoa Qu is nuts...still.

Thank you. Also the best Puru is the Puru that totally survived Unicorn and I will adamantly refuse to see events as they allegedly happened in the last movie.

Marida would have been perfectly fine if you change her ending. Yeah, her backstory is pretty grimdarky, but I was willing to go along with it so long as there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Instead Gundam Unicorn should have the subtitle "Life Hates Marida Cruz." I'm pretty sure I mentally checked out of the last film when she bit it. It was just too much.

It's one of the reasons why I'm not really as cool with Riddhe as others sometimes are. He was a frustrating character to follow, and even if that was the point I found no satisfaction in his character arc of "hurrrr durrrr protect the status quo oh wait I'm a cockbag." Even if it works as a character arc, it wasn't enjoyable to follow at all.

^similarly, I really enjoyed the stupid twist of Banagher saving the day by essentially being a petulant child. "Even so" winning the fight is the stupidest loving thing, but I still laughed. Compare that to Nina Purpleton and her stupid twist. I didn't really laugh at that. Unicorn's better than 0083, but not by a ton.

If there is one thing I enjoy about new type bullshit, it is that you can think things at certain way but your spaceheart will push for alternatives. Riddhe's convinced Newtypes are bad while his heart wants to Newtype it up. Lalah sticks with Char despite Newtype loving Amuro. It's dumb, cheesy and hokey, but I eat it up all the same.

ImpAtom posted:X really has nothing sequel-like for Wing. The closest comparison is that it is a version of the OYW where everything went to (more) poo poo instead Yeah, the only real "link" between Wing and X is that the character design is pretty damned similar. I imagine it's the same person, but I'm too lazy to check.

I am a big fan of roller/skating mechs. Tiny detail I really enjoyed about the Zone of the Enders games is how if you fly as low as you can on land you'll grind and throw sparks everywhere. I think Geass had a lot of cool moments with their roller mechs. Kallen definitely had a badass moment or two in her final showdown with Suzaku.

Kanos posted:I'm so glad that the prevailing opinion is now that ZZ is good because a couple years back the general opinion was that it was poo poo and I thought that was crazy and unjust. This isn't a "I liked ZZ before it was popular" thing, I'm legitimately really happy that other people like the show too because it's one of my favorite UC Gundam productions.

Amuro is a frightening motherfucker by the time of CCA. Taking out nameless mooks faster than anything in Wing, which is a ridiculous accomplishment.

Lemon Curdistan posted:It runs through the entire show to the point where honestly, the only reason I didn't catch on to it until Guin's confession at the end is because I didn't expect mainstream anime from 2000 to even mention the existence of gay people, let alone have a gay man as a major character. That's why I think dismissing it as "Tomino weird" is pretty silly, because it's rather blatant that Guin was intended to be gay and attracted to Loran from the start, and he is. I didn't pick up on it because I assumed Guin was just another victim of Tomino dialogue. It's far more interesting to me that he was actually gay, since things make a lot more sense now, but I did not put it together on first viewing.

Raxivace posted:Hmm maybe there are hints that I've missed then or dialogue that I interpreted incorrectly (The subs I had could have been bad too)- would be interesting for me to look at in a rewatch. I will say though that I do think a lot of it did just come off as "lol Tomino" to me. This guy and I see things the same way, I think. It becomes far too easy sometimes to handwave eccentric parts of Gundam shows as "lol Tomino." Sometimes you wind up missing stuff with that attitude though, I guess.

Ka0 posted:Don't have a raging misogynist write the story would be a good start. A deaf and blind person would have been able to sense the absolutely hatred/apathy towards women in this show. It was absolutely ridiculous. On the other hand, I do wonder sometimes if Captain Anus was an honest mistake.

Chronicle sucks and is dumb. The end. I didn't feel that strongly one way or another about him until I got to Turn A. Seeing the magic of Harry Ord after wasting time with Chronicle really opens your eyes.

I enjoyed the characters of G-Reco. For the most part people had a starting point of "okay" to "happy," so I didn't get the bipolar jerking around I felt Zeta dragged me through. G-Reco isn't my favorite Gundam at all, but I still liked it. Honestly, I'm more impressed someone managed to get halfway through a series that they hated the cast of.

Judau is actually cool because he is not interested in the slightest in fighting anybody. It's all about the money for him, and supporting his friends/family. Takes a while before things get personal for him.

Judau trying to sell the Zeta for scrap makes all the sense in the world. Since it's, you know, a dumb Gundam for babies.

The way he says "in the name of justice...and peace," and the way it sounds like he's spitting as he says peace. I always loved that. This narrator knows the truth, and he ain't happy about it.

Tomino is anything but infallible. I enjoyed G-Reco but even I'll admit it wasn't even close to his best work. I have serious problems with Zeta's characters, and while I enjoy ZZ immensely I can understand why it's not for everyone. I enjoyed Turn A a fuckton, but I do feel the show doesn't have quite the same impact if you haven't seen other shows in the UC. You can go without watching them, but Turn A's ending is more shocking to me after however many Gundam shows end on "Hooray we did it--oh wait nobody learned a goddamn thing." Anywho, the only Gundam show that's above any sort of criticism is G Gundam.
