Arcsquad12 posted:So there was that rumor around last couple pages about Gundam Thunderbolt being adapted into an anime. Can I ask what exactly Thunderbolt was and where it fits with other series? Not a rumor, an official announcement Universal Century 0079. Federation troops and Zeon forces carry out a fierce battle in the "Thunderbolt Sector" in what was once Side 4 "Mua". The "Thunderbolt Sector" is a shoal zone composed of the debris of destroyed space colonies, named for the electrical discharges from the metal debris. MS pilot Io Flemming is among the Federation soldiers who are dispatched to the area, where Zeon sniper Daryl Lorenz awaits them on the battlefield.

StrixNebulosa posted:After wrapping G-Reco I thought I'd try another Gundam series I've never seen (before getting back to Zeta and watching all of it), so I picked up SEED to see if it was as bad as I've heard... It's strongest in the beginning, so if you don't like it now, you aren't gonna like it more in the future

Lemon Curdistan posted:Every time anyone brings up the fact that G-Reco's pacing and plot might have been less than perfect, you have people rushing in to call them idiots because they were obviously too stupid to pay attention. It gets really old really fast. It does seeem like a lot of peoples problems with G-reco come from them not paying attention, or being stupid, tho.

I think filler started life as a term just to describe the anime only stuff included in long running shonen series to prevent it getting ahead of the manga. Then the term evolved to mean any episode where a main character isn't introduced or killed

dogsicle posted:i don't understand the complaints that G-Reco is toyetic, like half of the backpacks don't even have toys, same with the rest of the suits in the show. also you're watching Gundam, complaing about toys seems misplaced Especially because the constant introduction of robots actually makes sense and works with the themes and characters of the show. They don't know what they're doing, they keep churning out these unstoppable murder bots and then setting them aside because they literally don't understand what they're creating and the destructive power it has. Also, lol at the G-Self pulling out "super robot BS" when, aside from the photon torpedoes, I'm pretty sure every thing it can do can also be done by at least one previous Gundam.

oohhboy posted:Call it magic, newtype powers or technology, the problem is that it's use became asspulls , it ungrounded the shows and it stops being clever whenever it goes super robot. I don't mind the newtype stuff when it comes to empathy, telepathy, enhanced reflexes and spacial awareness. G-Reco is really bad at it as to presents some tactical situation that must to resolved then just pulls out random super power because. It's terrible writing. The G-Self having a ton of abilities that manifest when needed is absolutely intentional. If Bellri knew what he was doing, and what he was capable of with the G-Self from the beginning, he could've just slaughtered the Amerian army in an hour. The revelation of the G-Self's power goes along with Bellri and the other characters coming to understand how bad war is, and why it should be avoided.

The only permanent thing that ever changes for him is that he stops hitting on his Sister. It starts with him just blindly accepting his little slice of the world as it's presented to him, and ends with him going out to see the entire world with his own eyes

Tomino writes good female characters. Sayla, Haman, Elle, Roux, All the girls from Turn A, Shakti, Ana and Cynthia and Sara from Overman King Gainer, and all the girls from G-Reco, even if we clearly disagree about that.

oohhboy posted:Nope He use to be food or classed as food. It's that stupid. He wishes his back story was Burakumin since it would make sense. No, Lanz is saying that the Kuntala are an analog or the Burakumin. An analog is a thing from which an analogy is drawn. He's not saying that Kuntala are literally Burakumin, but that they are analogous.

chiasaur11 posted:MSG had Ramble Ral on the one end, and the Luna II crew on the other, both relatively early. Yes, the Federation was the good guys, and Zeon murdered half the human race, but the Feddies had their share of jackasses, and Zeon had their Rommel types. And yes, later Zeta did have the Titans try to outdo Zeon in the obviously evil department, but they also had their side be the good guys from the last war, and Bright Noa only defected once the series started. The episode about the Zeon soldiers trying to blow up the Gundam even ends with the Zeon soldiers saluting Amuro and the White Base crew's bravery. The politics of the One Year War may be black and White, but it's the series that shows good and bad on both sides more than any other Gundam, except Reconguista in G

The Sandman posted:Having not seen Age, and having been warned thoroughly enough to not want to suffer through it myself, I actually would be interested to hear about this. Zeheart is the series' Char, and is depicted as a generally reasonable guy. He's not crazy, he cares about his subordinates, he co-operates with the enemy to save innocent lives. Good guy. Then the head bad guy reveals his full evil plan, which is the dumbest, most retarded, murderous plan ever. It makes no sense and is just killing tons of people for no reason. Zeheart immediately says, "gently caress yeah, pointless murder! let's do it!" No explanation. He's just down for crazy genocide out of nowhere As I said, they fix it in the movies. They add stuff that shows that Zeheart is super messed up by the deaths of his subordinates. He has dreams where they come to him and blame him for their deaths. He's super hosed by it. So when the big head bad guy reveals his crazy plan, Zeheart basically goes, "if this whole time we've been fighting for insane nonsense, then all those people died for nothing. I can't accept that, so clearly this is a really great plan in a way I just don't understand. I have to go full bore on this plan, because if I accept that it's a bad plan, all my subordinates wasted their lives."
