Broken Loose posted:The "Raraiya crying because high altitude" excuse kind of loses its effectiveness when they do an entire episode of flying combat with the goddamn front door open. Flying combat at not-high altitude, yes. A bit different from high altitude. Didn't seem like they were nearly as high as in that first episode.

Broken Loose posted:The Montero looked pretty cool. I hope the kit doesn't suck. I think that is what he meant, 4 out of 4 episodes. I actually missed that my first run through, which is why I didn't mention it. Again, 4/25 episodes is not a running theme, and I'm sure it traces back to Captain Dead's death but it is starting to worry me. Personally I was more weirded out by the whiplash of 'YOU KILLED MY FRIEND' 'Well, had a nap, so I guess I'll just spin and dance in this hall' 'OH WAIT YOU STILL KILLED HIM YOU DICK!'

She did a halo jump without oxygen in that first episode, yeah. This episode ruled, mega pumped about this shows prospects. Laughing at people who are still worried about the crying though, she teared up for half a second and snapped back to focus right away, haha.

I followed most of the episode (though I was kind of wondering why they just let Aida back onto the G-Self, but I get the feeling they have a plan), but I have no idea what was up with the scene where they get the base jabber to land. They weren't running out of fuel or anything, and the thing could land on its own so why...? This whole thing really reminds me of early ZZ, completely with nobody knowing how to close their cockpits. I also appreciate that Bellri and Noredo are just straight up good friends.

They had to spray the thing with fire extinguishers and physically support the thing with the G-Self just to stabilize it enough to plow into the ground upright. It was basically a combination of Bellri and Noredo wanting to help their instructor and Aida not wanting to see anyone die.

Episode 3 was better than I feared it would be. The plot seems to be moving in interesting directions, the characters seem to be (mostly) making less stupid decisions so there's hope it'll get better.

Episode 3 was pretty fun but it's really just kind of bizarre how everyone in the world seems functionally incapable of giving more than half a poo poo about anything no matter what. It's kind of the opposite of what I expect from a Tomino show. It's like everyone in the show is genetically incapable of being more than mildly perturbed at any situation.

I looked at it again for some reason and I gotta say quote:Mobile Suit Toilet. I knew it was coming, but that still seems bizzare to me. Good thing the Genius didn't hit the tree level a few seconds earlier. Also, Supposed piloting genius nearly crashes his suit into trees. (Incompetent military moment: 5) That was a joke! A jokeeeeeeeee! The intent was for that scene to be humorous! Broken Loose posted:lol u mad bro???? classic! an internet favorite What are you even-

The entire point of Klim Nick is that he keeps calling himself a genius but isn't. He even makes fun of it himself when he berates himself for using the vulcans against a ranged enemy. He is not a Serious Character.

I'm sorry that my attempt to amuse myself by nitpicking what is in my opinion a poorly made gundam show and posting it on the internet offends you. Despite what you think I actually had a blast of a time poking fun at all the missteps of this series. There are a lot of times where I will watch something I consider bad, but have a grand old time making fun of it. I'm sorry if that bothers you. If it really bothers you I recommend you click profile---->Add User to Ignore List. It has worked wonders for me in the past. quote:That was a joke! A jokeeeeeeeee!

Srice posted:It's pretty funny to me since it's something you'd never expect with one guy alone in his Gundam, nevermind a scene where I suppose. I just find it juvenile with an extra helping of LOLRANDOM! Look guys, I'm pooping in my gundam surrounded by three girls. Isn't that wacky and weird? It goes towards my big problem with G-reco, which is that while it can do some little character moments surprisingly, perhaps even incredibly well, the overall feel of the show is one that totally lacks any sort of coherent reason for why a lot of things happen. It feels like a script for the first three episodes had this as plot points: -Monday ditches gundam -Pirates attack the ship -Bellri fights the Gundam and wins -Bellri goes to rescue Aida -Bellri goes to pilot the gundam -Bellri kills Aida's buddy while she is on/in the gundam. -Aida and cast get in the Gundam -Cast go off to the pirates It feels like they had a script that had just that, and then just wrote down the first thing that came into their head that would get them from one plot point to the next. Bellri wins because... the gundam really likes him! Ha! Bellri goes to rescue Aida because... He's really in love with her for some reason! Bellri goes to pilot the gundam because... reasons! Like I said, there are things that I enjoy about this show. When they do little things like the weird glare after the butt grab, or when they fill us in on actual plotline for the setting. I think the idea of a UC that has regressed into some weird theocratic state where everyone gets their power as decreed by the space pope is drat cool, but that its pretty difficult to enjoy it when everyone in the setting seems to be huffed up on Nitrous and no one seems to care about anything unless someone dies, and then only when it suits the plot. I mean, why did Aida take Bellri and his highschool lover along. Remember when he killed your friend a few minutes ago? Are you taking him to face justice? Did you just not care? Or is it simply because that is the next plot point that you've got to hit for the story to continue? On that note however, I think I'll stay the gently caress out of this thread. Probably better things for everyone to do with their time than argue over whether poop jokes are funny. Caros fucked around with this message at 06:17 on Oct 10, 2014 |

I love Tomino very much (Zeta and Ideon are 2 of my top 3 favorite shows) but the Tomino hype in here is so high that the same criticisms leveled at AGE are dogpiled down in here.
