was that the one where in response to Audrey's speech from Unicorn another bunch of Zeon nutters are like 'obviously this means we need to keep fighting'

It's on the writers who introduced a celebrity-voiced character in a hamfisted way, built him up in a hamfisted way across a couple of episodes, and then killed him in a hamfisted way and expected you to feel sad.

edit: What's it called when they show a ghostly overlay of a character as they die? because he got one of those after only being in the show for like 4 episodes lmbo

The Really Dead Montage?

Maybe they would have taken her more seriously if she had a slightly less ridiculous haircut.

Not to defend Ages silly story, but I thought they learned right away that living there was killing them but the earth government basically abandoned them to their fate, and it took a long time to build all that crazy poo poo that let them go back

well yeah, but in a sane world the first thing they would have done with said crazy poo poo is parked their colony in earth orbit with their army of then-invincible robot dragons and yell 'WE'RE HOOOOOOOOME.'

Also, there's still time on the clock, but Build Divers does feel like one of the worse Gundam shows. It doesn't even have interesting ideas, and the thing it sold itself on initially (big, tactical ten-on-ten battles)... hasn't happened. At most, it's been five on five, and we got, what, two of those? If you're generous?

'We'll have big battles for our Gundam Build Fighters sequels! Three-on-three, no wait, ten-on-ten!'
-later-
'Huh. Turns out animating and blocking poo poo for double digit combatants is kinda hard to do. Go figure.'

Is the G-Reco movie a sequel movie or a recut of the show?

There's a gag in SRWX where the Captial Army from G-Reco rebuild the ZZ because 'look at the specs on this thing! it's gotta be some kind of monster superweapon!'

And then the first time they actually put a pilot in it he can't steer the machine for nuts because it's the hunk of cobbled together bullshit that is the ZZ and Judau (fighting on the opposite side) has to yell out instructions just so the pilot doesn't crash and kill himself.

The only Build series I've watched was the original and I mostly remember the Wing Gundam appearing in the first episode looking cool and thinking "Ah maybe it won't be abused and mangled--" and then it did

hang in there wing gundam, you'll get someone who loves you one day

If you wanna watch a Wing Gundam (or at least a variany of it) being awesome you really should watch more Build Fighters.

Nena Trinity is terrible but the show never once tries to pretend that she is not terrible, which paradoxically earns her points in favour.

Season 2 can be mostly be played straight with the rest of the SRW cast telling Orga 'this plan is stupid and reckless but we've still got your back because we're a team' (repeat an needed for the amount of stupid and reckless decisions he makes)

Then the finale has everyone who needs to survive survive because an SRW protagonist team is the biggest concentrated mass of raw firepower in the solar system + the Invaders will show up to eat Rustal's fleet or something necessitating a hasty ceasefire.

The Seven Stars are also abolished as a system, but at that point large portions of the Seven Stars were dead anyway. And Rustal instantly gets voted in to become head of the new government so it's no skin off his back.

There are lots of ways a SEED Destiny sequel could go. Interested enough to keep an eye out, I suppose.
