Why the gently caress would anybody want to watch compilation movies for a fifty episode TV series. 0079 sorta works thanks to how the show was paced and structured and it's still 7-9 hours.

If you don't think you'll like it, why are you even watching it at all? Alternatively, you could watch the show and acknowledge that it's good.

But yeah, how light hearted and silly is G-Gundam? I need a break from the pathos, drama and suffering.

It has its serious stuff, but it's a silly campy over the top show without relenting on that even in the serious moments.

G-Reco has the best particle effects I've seen in an anime.

Even when I try to figure out reasons for it, I still don't understand what it is about G-Reco that makes it impenetrable to people.

I mean, I can sort of see some reasons, but based on my experience I can't see why they're such a big problem. And I don't know why some people get so upset over it.

Bellri is the son of a powerful politician, a grade skipper, and had an extremely powerful mobile suit handed to him and when he showed up again he was opposed to Mask. Mask has talent and ability but has to scrape himself up from the bottom, and his team is basically cannon fodder thanks to being Kuntala.

A lot of people see the final battle and for some reason think that Mask was just pissy the whole time, while Mask has plenty of reasons to hate Bellri from his perspective and the final battle is basically all of them spilling out as he rants while extremely angry. Even worse are the people who think he's merely imagining racism because the series didn't spend time showing Kuntala being beaten up in an alley or something.

G-Reco is about stopping a war from breaking out. The finale is "oh poo poo the war is literally just about to begin right in front of us, let's do something about that". I'm not sure what's hard to understand about that.

i love the typical Gundam head design. it's the white/blue/red/yellow color scheme that is bad and boring.

I'm pretty sick of most RX-78-2-based Gundams, but ditching the parade colour scheme makes for immediate wild improvements.

I just finished episode 8 of ZZ. Am I supposed to like Judau? Because I don't. I find it difficult to like any of these characters.

I'm wondering if ZZ is going to turn around at some point or if I'm going to find the whole show this unenjoyable.

I liked Elle and that's about it.

You're going to hate Beecha and Mondo once they finally leave the colony.

Taking something that's supposed to be pure white and covering it in lots of little red warning stickers is a terrible idea to begin with. You're completely defeating the point of its core design.

Hey Choc, how quickly does Gaia Gear update? I've been wanting to get into it but do you think it would be better to wait until it's done?

It seems to be pretty intermittent. As far as I can tell there's no schedule, it just occasionally pops up every few weeks or so on /m/.

I have a laundry list of issues with Unicorn, but until it went full retard in the last episode it was an enjoyable series.

Now if only Torrington didn't make all of the feds brain-dead jobbers besides Kobe Byarlant. Bandai/Sunrise still haven't realised that if they want GMs to sell, they have to let them actually do something besides be punching bags.

Jesus Christ. Rest in peace everybody.

There's a reason why ZZ is whiplash if you go straight into it and aren't expecting wacky antics.

That's impressive from a model kit building perspective but holy poo poo that is too much backpack.

Many well-made kits tend to be overdesigned clusterfucks.

You look at the winning brackets for lots of gunpla modelling competitions and depending on the region chances are they're greebly over-detailed messes covered with guns and pointy things and generally overloaded with extraneous items that are nonetheless impressive on a technical level.

I don't like merch, I don't own any t-shirts of the like, but the federation jacket is very cool and subtle enough to not make you look like a dork and I wouldn't mind owning one.

I've never liked the WZC, I really don't like the angel wings.I'm fond of the Wing Ver Ka with its much more vibrant colours though.

I'm down for funny Tomino, I like his other comedic works, I just don't think that ZZ is funny at all.
