Should probably add a "If you're in it just for the robots or toys toys" reccomendation for build fighters.

Build Fighters is also a generally solid lighthearted kid's tournament show.

That wasn't meant to be a dismissal, that show is what got me back into Gundam. It's one of my favorite anime and absolutely fantastic, but it's a show probably recommended after you see a few others because it parodies and subverts a whole lot. Unless you're here for the robots.

Also, first page, so MS IGLOO is great disregard the haters. They can't appreciate the glory of tank combat.

The rest of the show's kinda eh just watch all the tank related episodes.

Amazing robots, great characters, two cour, great thread-comedy AND one of the few series that made me want more from a Gundam.
The Kapool is the cutest.

ZZ also took me quite a bit of time to finish, maybe half a year if not more?

I think if I started watching Gundam shows now instead of many years ago I'd have real trouble even finishing something like Zeta, there's just so many episodes.

I doubt I'll ever finish Zeta.

Yeah, IGLOO definitely has a "Zeon soldiers are just normal people" theme, but then the higher ups send children out on suicide missions and they constantly abandon the science team to die and ignore any actual field testing conducted so calling it pro-Zeon is still a bit of a stretch, even with the Zeon flag waving at the end of every episode. It's also a lot less Zeon centric in season 2.

If anything it underlines "wow the people in charge were major dicks," even to their own soldiers.

So I remember there being an interview with Tomino about how he had them scrap the original designs for the G-Arcane because it was "too sexy." I'm curious if anybody knows if they ever released the original concept art in any material.

Actually, as far as 'Char Clones' go, I do really like the detail that Harry from Turn-A has damaged vision and the shades help accommodate for that. but that's only mentioned in a manga. A manga where Corrin gets a gundam. So how canon that is is up in the air.

I feel like that's a good argument for it being canon rather than against

I really don't think it will. Re:Rise has taken a good bit of time to establish that Freddie is the only Eldoran we know of who can actually using the summoning software, that the mission is locked to 5 specific people (Masaki, Hiroto, May, Kazami and Par) and that all the other summoning platforms that the cast know of outside Milaag Mountain are busted and have little to no shining sand remaining regardless.


The big elephant in the room is that they're making new versions of the protagonist suits from the previous series so they're probably going to show up in the next few episodes.

Which I am perfectly happy with because I liked the Divers cast. Their story was a whole lot of nothing but the characters themselves were fun.

Magee being this cool mentor figure to May and Shahryar being a large part of Par's character and motivation has been really enjoyable so far so I'm excited to see what they do with the rest of them.

I've always figured Corin seeing the Wing Gundam was just a reference someone put in for fun, possibly because he'd shouted "It's a Gundam" earlier in the show.

he straight up gets an upgraded geminass and the manga, and I think it's stated he used to be a member of OZ

There is a potential bright side here; we might get to cathartically watch every first-season character blow up one-by-one :unsmigghh:. Except Magee, of course. Magee rules.

Lusting for the on-screen death of a bunch of (child!) characters from a literal children's show because you didn't like it definitely seems healthy and not at all like you should maybe take a step back for a moment.

Like actually what the hell.
