Srice posted:Same, plus I like the staff they selected too. Yeah, some people in the Fall Season thread said they were gonna watch this, despite having no interest in Gundam before, because they liked Toradora or Anohana. That's a whole new demographic being brought in by the staff that BlitzBlast so casually dismissed in the OP because none of the robot shows they've worked on produced model kits he liked.

Tae posted:I was a bit bored by Augus, because super-stoic awesome soldier has been done to death by Gundam. The problem before is that they rarely evolve out of that archtype in a meaningful way. Setsuna's probably the farthest anyone's gotten out of it. This isn't the same tho. They showed that he completely relies on Orga for direction. I think that's where we're gonna see character growth. Augus having to make decisions for himself, Orga having to face what he's turned Augus into.

I really like that they showed plants as a symbol of wealth on Mars. The queen had a big rear end green house, the company president had a line of potted plants in his office, and the shop owner had three little cactuses. They put thought into this world

Srice posted:I thought his brief moment with Aina about the handshake was well done too. Quick way to tell a fair amount about his character Yeah, he's not dumb or robotic, he understood that interaction better than the princess did. It's just that his entire life whenever there's been a big decision, his immediate thought is to ask Orga what to do. Even after just one episode you can tell all the characters have their own deal, nobody's just their to fill a robot cockpit.

Lemon Curdistan posted:I don't understand people's weird hate-boners for honorifics considering that they convey important contextual information and don't have any direct equivalents in English. If you've watched enough anime to know the difference between kun, san, and sama, then you've watched enough anime to be able to hear those in the dialogue. And if you can't hear them, then you probably haven't watched enough anime to know the difference.

I liked that the scene where they were burying landmines in the beginning ended up paling a role at the end. Like, they could've been doing any sort of unpleasant work at the beginning, but they went the extra level and not only established the character's lovely deal, but also set something up for later on. Somebody's thinking about this show while they're making it,

drrockso20 posted:Unless you use magic or technology that might as well be magic, it takes a long rear end time to terraform a world even in the best conditions, so it's not all that surprising that even after a couple hundred years Mars is pretty inhospitable to life, even if it has a breathable atmosphere now Yeah, it takes loving forever to make significant amounts of dirt from scratch. That part's pretty realistic, imo

WitchFetish posted:Ok so basically I kinda remember watching Gundam 08th MS Team and several other Sunrise batshit insane mecha animes (Code Geass, Valvrave, and Fukuda's latest massterpiece), but since I don't remember anything about the former and the latters had nothing to do with Gundam, I'm basically starting my knowledge of the Gundam-verse now and this is what I think I understood : This is completely unconnected from all other Gundam shows, so you don't need any prior knowledge going in. Although, I will say WitchFetish posted:(because she's young and full of convictions?)(because they are old and assholes?) You seem to get Gundam pretty well.

Good character stuff this episode. Kudelia didn't want to throw away the curry she messed up, she wanted to eat it all herself. Still being impractical, but trying to be practical by not wasting food. Good sound too. The part where Orga and Kudelia were talking and you heard the battle in the background would've sucked if they'd used traditional sci-fi laser sound effects or whatever.

Red Bones posted:I thought the canteen scene was the worst part of the episode. In terms of what it seemed to be trying to do, I don't think having a scene that provides a bit of levity is really necessary when an episode is like 22 minutes long and the thrust of the episode was "the current situation at CGS is unpleasant, so the kids are gonna take over by force", and it could've been replaced by another scene like, say, Kudelia walking in on one of the kids having an argument with the engineer guy about whether he's going to side with their little coup or not. Just something a bit more tense? Having the scene be there to establish that BIscuit drugged the food wasn't really necessary because imo you don't really need a setup for the next two moments where biscuit delivers the 1st company food, and then Orga tells them they drugged the food. There's other scenes that happened before and after the cooking scene, which, when watched in order, create a story. Kudelia is a big important politician. She actually sees first hand how hosed up poo poo is and loses faith in herself doing something important as a politician. During the attack she wants to help in the garage or hangar bay or whaetver, and can't cause she doesn't know poo poo about fixing tanks. After the attack she wants to help in the kitchen but can't because she doesn't know how to cook. During the duel she wants to have the brain surgery so she can pilot a robot, and Orga points out how dangerous and dumb that is. After all that she decides that what she can do is work as a politician.
