And this first episode has restored my fan-ness! It did a much better job of introducing the characters and setting than the last couple of Gundam shows I've tried to watch I felt the same way. I was put off by G Reco initially. Had no problem with this one. I'm also getting a bit of a Relena vibe ...

I just finished G-Reco after dropping early after the first two episodes during its run, and I have to say, it turned out better than I thought it would be. Given how Gundam fans were reacting to it, I thought it was going to be as bad as Seed Destiny or Age. At first I did not find the character de...

I had never even heard of Gundam before Wing aired, and I'm glad it did. I've probably seen every episode at least ten times, though it has been years since I last saw it. I probably would never have seen MSG, Zeta and Victory were it not for Wing.

I intended to come back to the series about half way through so I could watch a whole bunch of eps in one go to see if it come across better but I recently found out the series has ended. My question is, was it intended to always be that short (which is a first for a standard TV series, the shortes...

>Say Fate's outfit looks slutty >>They get butt hurt and mad and try to defend it with "In universe" reasons such as "She made it that way beacuse it would let her move fast" Or "She didn't know that it would look so slutty etc". >>>My Reply: No, she didn't do ****. Sh...

I've been out of the loop Gundam wise for a while now. I saw the first couple eps of Gundam Reconguista in G but had two problems: 1. the character designs looked too old school for my tastes. It was like watching something from the 70s with today's animation 2. the story progression seemed weaker t...

Honestly Madoka isn't as good as everyone says it is. It's still pretty good but too overly reliant on characters holding the idiot ball for the sake of having a bunch of plot twists. It relies too much on shock value to trick the audience into believing it's better than it really is. Could you ela...

CCS and Corrector Yui were the only magical anime I ever thought were good. That is until I saw Madoka Magica. It blows both of those shows out of the water.

I saw Geneshaft years ago. It used to air on TechTv's Anime Unleashed block. It's been almost a decade since I last saw it but I remember that it had a good story and characters. Death count was surprisingly high, too. I definitely should re-watch this.

DECULTURE! (please be about what happened to Megaroad please be about what happened to Megaroad) I second that notion. We should have gotten a series about the SDF 2 Megaroad 01 for the thirtieth anniversary. I really wish we would get new Macross material at the pace Gundam releases theirs. I woul...

The EA was ridiculous but Patrick Zala and Rau more than made up for it. They were as genocidal if not more than the blue earth crazies.

And yeah, having the three ships alliance be the only non racist ones is a bit silly.

It was just ridiculous in other ways. Strangely though, Newtype Ghosts rub me more the wrong way than psychoframe magic (even in Unicorn, which of course has both). I think it has to do with there at least being a tangible mental connection in the latter, whereas I'm never really sure where the hec...

Well... this brings us to reason number 2, which incredibly affects reason number 1... Axis leaving Earth Sphere. Now, senior veterans of Zeta Gundam.... what exactly does the Axis Fleet do when the battle for Gryps at the end of Zeta Gundam wipes out the Titans Fleet and leaves the AEUG in a bad p...

I think that using racism also blurs that line of good and evil. If everyone hates everyone else, it makes it harder to identify any one person or group as protagonists or antagonists. Hence the area of grey.

Can't really agree here. Kamille freezes mobile suits, becomes impervious to harm, and makes his beam saber insanely huge To the tune of at least several tens of meters. I mean, you COULD rewrite it so he just dodges/shoots/wins better but you can also throw in a line of dialog saying Unicorn and B...

Amion wrote:Inlighten me. How many pieces to typical Gundam works of recent history have? Does this give us hints on whether this thing is a show or movie?

Most movies don't have more than 20 so if this is true then it definitely won't be a movie. A TV series (hopefully) or an OVA most likely.

Official thread for Tomino's return to Gundam. We're a long way off from this airing, so please don't feel compelled to just fill this thread with endless speculation until then. If there's no news to discuss, there's no news to discuss. I've been out of the Gundam loop for a long time. This is the...

I had not been keeping up with Naruto for years until I watched a couple episodes yesterday. And yeah, the filler in Naruto is ludicrous. It makes DBZ seem rational in that respect.

For Naruto, I looked up what arcs are filler and just avoid them. I did the same thing for the first Naruto series.

I don't like that the show is on hiatus again. It just came back for two eps and now we have to wait a couple weeks for more.

You know I want to put this out there since alot of people are praising DBZ Kai. But reall it's not that good in some regards. 1.Even if it removes some of the stupid filler, the driving school episode with Goku and Piccolo is gone. 2.The recasting of characters in the dub at least, namely kid Goha...
