IT'S A (new) GUNDAM THREAD!

I love all covers of that song that was the last post in the previous Mega Thread.

I just wanna throw in how much I love Gundam's space stuff. Like, dumb, but realistic feeling, details like having a smoking room where dudes can blow their smoke into a tube and poo poo to keep it out of the air and all, the shots of guys just swimming through the air, all that is just really nice to see.

I think he's kind of a dick but he's a teenager and he's had a pretty traumatizing couple of days on top of his newtype stuff so I don't mind him

I still think how oddly hilarious things escalate with Kamille. From playing hookie and getting into a fist fight with a soldier over having A GIRLS NAME to being an orphan running with an illegal rebel group with a stolen war machine.

What a day indeed.

Also, the theme from the first opening of Zeta grows on you. Stardust Memories is my favourite opening song and montage.

As it turns out giving independence to the colonies was a bad idea because with they keep installing monarchies and cults as their leaders.

Whats the deal with some of the blue uniforms some of the crew wore in 0079? I assumed it was some sort of Military Training/Academy deal like they were pretty much planned to be trained up and sent out to fight Zeon ASAP?

Or were they just more general Technical Crew kind of uniforms?

Victory Gundam continues ZZ's weird fashion choices and well, I cannot say I hate it.

I do question the Cravats with the military uniforms now. What is wrong with a good tight collar you hippies?

Part of me hopes Victory continues with this weird mish mash 19th century meets modern sci-fi throughout.

Sorry man :smith: welcome to the case of the Unicorn blues. Time to cherry pick what you liked from it and move on.

I nominate Puru 2 being the most annoying character to play in the 2nd Dynasty Warriors Gundam game due to the fact she exclaims how DARE you every time you use the ranged attack on somebody.

Hayato's pretty much doomed to be a loser since he cries about how he's not as good as amuro and is clearly fraw's silver medal.

I bet Fraw wondered sometimes she didn't go with Kai. She could be running around the jungle in smart white business suit tripping dudes up and racing race cars instead of being step mother to Asteroid bait.

Far as I can tell that's basically it. I can't remember if they ever met in person prior to the series.

I just saw his mother in a flashback she is blond and has blue eyes just like Katajina. This show is starting to get really weird after the super laser. Which already looked like a penis. Tomino good god man.

Also, the Shrike team deaths are like the cheapest of kill them all I've seen. Like, you barely have any connection with them before they start getting bumped off in a way. It is just a quick way to trauma grow the main character.

I felt sorry more for frigging Gottn in ZZ when he died.

I imagine he was always like that, fanatical supporters of a charismatic individual always think of them as good saintly people.

Forgive the IRL examples here but The Duke of Wellington loving hated his wife after marriage because just marrying her was getting back at being turned down before he got famous and well Napoleon despite sadly leaving his barren beloved had no issues at all telling his siblings to divorce their common spouses for European Royalty. And those are the minor issues.

Also, what bugs the hell out of me with Victory is Shakti keeps bringing that baby with her all over the drat place. That and when a character looks directly at the camera and their nose turns into some horrible growth.

EDIT: One of the Blues Brothers tribute band guys pistol whipped Haro. Haro gets hosed with a lot here.

20 episodes deep into Zeta. I burst out laughing when the 80s guitar wail hit during Kamille and Four's date. This show has excellent music.

I love the Zeta Gundam music too, especially the first half of this track when poo poo is about to go down.

Zeon apologists suck, Zeon sucks. But well, they do have nice looking uniforms when they aren't going full Nazi. But I also love the Federations uniforms too.

So yeah, in the final stretch of Victory Gundam. Everyone is pretty much squaring up to each other in their fleets. It is Tomino time.
