I was surprised at how rudderless a decent chunk of Zeta felt, after a pretty good first arc. Also good god the Rosamia arc was a rough watch

Rosamia is probably the low point of Zeta. The show ends really strongly though.

Oh yeah its ending's an all timer.

I remember A New Translation coming out and then some morons online thinking this meant ZZ wasn't canon anymore.

Then obviously Unicorn happened.

What an odd time that was.

In what’s sure to be one of the most contentious matches of this tournament, we have Suletta Mercury up against Amuro Ray! Will Amuro get slapped again, or will Suletta be taken Beyond the Time?

For similar reasons to those stated, I am also uneasy about the Netflix Zeon anime made by the Unsatirical 40K Fan Film guys.

That's a whole lot of words for "We introduced dumb bullshit in this story to justify dumb bullshit in this story that affects the entire timeline."

yeah

Runa
Feb 13, 2011

It really is dumb bullshit though. Though instead of being funny dumb bullshit, like the entire existence of the colony of Moon Moon, it's just the sort of plot point that when you see it play out, you don't think, wow, the people who wrote this document are stupid. You think, wow, the writer of this work is stupid.

Despite the tragedies, the world state is in a genuinely better and more optimistic place than when the series began. And the people who survived mostly have closure.

I think it works as an incredibly cynical look at how positive social change is accomplished. The revolutionaries who shocked the world into action are maladjusted outsiders who end up dead in a heap and remembered as terrorists and murderers, and their enemies take all the credit for the reforms they fought tooth and nail against. Big Civil Rights Act vibes.

Yeah, it gets more depressing when you realize how realistic the situation is when divorced from genre trappings.

Arc Hammer posted:

After 0079 most of the sequel shows in the UC feel more like their given conflicts follow the central cast, rather than the cast brushing up against a wider canvas like the original. The AEUG rarely feels like a larger movement and more like the entire war effort is centered around the Argama and whatever allies they currently have nearby.

Not gonna lie this was one of the reasons why large chunks of Zeta felt aimless compared to the OG. There's just not a lot of feeling of the context around the Gryps Conflict outside of what Kamille can immediately see.

I really wish I liked G Gundam more than I did but yeah the fights leave a lot to be desired

as much as I kid about not liking it, I didn't have any interest in witch from mercury because I wasn't interested in the setting*, the character designs looked really dumb, and the protagonist looks like she has brain damage. Also, any time I saw a clip or something pop up on YT the descriptions were always like "(CHARACTER) SLAP A BULLY ON THA BUTT 😱😱😱🤣🤣🤣😱😱😝😝😝"

The LGBT representation is nice and I'm glad people are enjoying it because Gundam is cool but, man, it just seemed like it's the kind of anime that is not made for me

*not that every Gundam needs to be some serious rear end war drama but it just didn't appeal to me

Hey now

She later upgrades to slapping a gunman with a Gundam


There was a lot of blood flying (microgravity envrionments are a real pain to keep clean)

I've been building gunpla for a bit and have watched WfM but otherwise haven't watched Gundam at all. Decided to start watching the original series last night, made it thru 5 episodes. The music is so 70s and also rules, and I'm enjoying the characters and plot so far. I think I'm hooked on the series already so I'll probably end up watching at least all the series at this point if not the movies/manga at some point too.

heck yeah
