Droyer posted:I partially agree, but many have told me it was their first and they enjoyed it. Knowing the history of the series helps, but you don't need to be a Gundam buff to enjoy Turn A. Personally, I think it's really silly when some people recommend watching every pre-1999 Gundam before Turn A when the links amount to a few visual cameos and playing some random clips from previous shows during the broadcast from the Winter Palace.

Droyer posted:In fairness, it has a larger thematic meaning. The dark history functions on both a commentary on the nature of war and a metacommentary on the gundam franchise in itself, and you won't get the second thing if you haven't seen enough gundam. With that said though, that's hardly necessary to enjoy the show. Certainly, I just don't want to risk discouraging people who think that Turn A sounds interesting, but isn't up to watching two decades of prior anime as prep.

boom boom boom posted:SD Gundam Sangokuden Brave Battle Warriors is a CGI series retelling the story of The Romance of the The Three Kingdoms with all the characters played by living SD Gundams There's also Mobile Suit SD Gundam, which is unrelated to the "sentient Gundams with huge eyes" stuff and is instead a gag OVA about SD versions of various Gundam characters.

ImpAtom posted:I really like that The Origin was like "hey guys we got a custom GM that is basically a very slightly stripped down Gundam, who gets it?" and everyone just pointed at Sayla. Plus everyone's generally a lot cooler in The Origin. Well, in their own way. I love Bright always looking this close to having a breakdown from all the poo poo getting dropped on his lap from both inside and outside WB.

That Garma screen is pretty great since from what I recall, it's a faction that arises when you (Ghiren) play your "massive shithead" hand too early and flagrantly.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:Sorry, but I just think it's a little tiring to hear curdistan jump in every time about how every gundam design is poo poo and how [suit] is so "elegant and simple". It just seems like another way of saying boring, and needlessly inflammatory for a thread about said gundams. Gundam as a franchise is about a whole lot more than Gundams themselves, and while I like them, I've seen plenty of fans that aren't big on conventional Gundam designs.

Kanos posted:I laughed my rear end off at RE:0096 having the Neo Zeong in the goddamn opening. This is supposed to serve to introduce the show to a new audience who aren't necessarily crazy OVA-buying Gundam fans, isn't it? I dunno, but I doubt most people would care about being "spoiled" that the antagonist in a big red suit gets a bigger red suit.

oohhboy posted:I figured it more as an intuition thing. Like in sports or multiplayer games you intuitively read the others actions, getting information you wouldn't have otherwise gotten. Or how people naturally pickup emotions. When playing a FPS sometimes you get a feeling and spin around 180 degrees nailing the guy in the head. From movement and play style you can identify who that player is. That is what is happening when they get that buzz. lol

mr. stefan posted:Age is a bad show but unicorn is very specifically a bad gundam because it parrots the iconography and themes of gundam as a group of works in a really asinine way while bringing nothing new to the table, relying entirely on bang-zoom superficial action and Ready Player One style pavlovian nostalgia triggers while utterly failing to actually say anything. that also applies to AGE to some extent from what I saw

There's not much context to get, IBO is standalone and Reco's connection to UC is summed up early on: "lots of war happened in the past and hosed the earth".

mr. stefan posted:I don't doubt it, but I also ditched age pretty early whereas I followed unicorn to the bitter end. I have a more subjective hate for unicorn specifically because its much more polished presentation can sucker people into thinking it has any merits aside from production value, since the whole ordeal is very obviously designed to distract the viewer with flashy action so they don't realize that the entire underlying structure is hollow. You can disagree with them, but it's pretty stuck up to think that anybody that liked Unicorn was tricked into doing so.

Patter Song posted:I wasn't sure whether I liked or hated that Loran had no idea of how to do anything with the Turn A Gundam. He just sort of blunders around and relies on the Turn A's near-invincibility to give him time to blunder into a solution. I suppose it's a nice contrast to, say, Gundam Wing's Heero Yuy's tiresome hypercompetence and terribly smug resulting attitude. I like it, since it ties into Turn A's general theme of few involved really understanding the gravity of war or even how to fight; even the most trained members of the Moonrace know only training exercises. My favorite example (spoilering for Waffleman's sake because it's a pretty great moment) is Gym being dogshit with that sword he carried around all the time, getting stomped by a guy who's only touched one once before.
