Mobile Suit Gundam (TV!!) and Crossbone X2 (Not Kai!!!)  The original Gundam is great because it was really unique at the time and in a sense still is, and inspired an entire subgenre of anime. Amuro is the original teenager that fell into a Gundam, but he's super unhappy about it and nearly half the series is about him balancing his ego as far and away the best pilot White Base has, while also being terrified of going into battle. It's really easy to see yourself in the situations where he lashes out at other people, not because they're assholes (they are, and so is he) but because he's a scared, lonely teenager with space aspergers. Char is a classic villain. Everyone knows who he is. He's great as a villain because he's not evil and trying to conquer Earth or anything, he's great because he's broken as heck and will stop at nothing for revenge, even killing his best friend. And he wants to beat Amuro because he's a gat dang teenager that upstaged him as being the best robot pilot ever. muike fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Oct 12, 2015 |

Billy Crystal would do a great Amuro. Paranoid, neurotic, apparently Jewish

If you put it in the abstract the Purus are a cool idea. Clones made to fight in crazy psychic war machines, but it kind of lost the plot somewhere along the way (for me). Marida being the last surviving clone of a series of psychic super soldiers would be cool and THEORETICALLY you could handle the whole sexual slavery thing in a decent way in some form but not by that author.

I've always had zero interest in either of them as characters so I will defend Shin Matsunaga and subs over dubs to the death.

In Gihren's greed it's possible for Zeon to steal the gundam or produce their own but I don't think you can get an Amuro defection. It's fairly likely he would've joined Char in the novels, but like ImpAtom says, he gets iced.

One of my favorite things Amuro ever does is right before the attack on A Baoa Qu, I think, I don't remember exactly when this happens, he says "dont worry guys im a newtype and i saw the future and everything works out ok." Frau or Sayla goes "Wow I didn't know newtypes could do that" to which Amuro responds "they can't im making GBS threads my pants"

The butt shields are the thrusters set in their planetary position for a lower center of gravity.

Beams don't really work like that in gundam so Im guessing fragmentation shells with bright coloration so you can actually, like, see them, in space.

You can't store a beam shot in a round like that, at least as far as UC goes. You could have a some kind of stored charge, like mega particles trapped in an I-field, but that would be more of an explosion than a directional blast like that puts off. Don't make me dork out this hard son e: to clarify if it is beams, the stark jegan has grenades that are equivalent to the GM-79's beam spray gun and that would be badass.

Yeah you're right there are the epacks and everything and I could theorize all day but I think the only thing I can say with authority is that I'm pretty sure they're conventional explosives

My limited knowledge of Japanese and the stark jegan manual doesn't prove that they're NOT beams so who knows

It was a bazooka round, and the same effect was on the missiles. I think it's just like directional projectiles according to the meticulously updated Gundam Wiki quote:Hyper Bazooka If it was a beam bazooka it'd be called out as such in the manual e: looked on dalong the manual does mention something about beams in the blurb about the hyper bazooka, and i can't read it, so maybe it has multiple types of rounds? it could also be talking about anti-beam rounds muike fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Nov 3, 2015 |

It's a nice little story but the show can live without it. It's very poorly animated. Tomino himself even animated for it, and while I love the guy, he's not an animator.

Like, dumb, but realistic feeling, details like having a smoking room where dudes can blow their smoke into a tube and poo poo to keep it out of the air and all, the shots of guys just swimming through the air, all that is just really nice to see. it's all very reminiscent of old american science fiction novels to me

Every series made since Zeta Gundam has people complaining about how something in the show is "so un-Gundamlike" it amazes me I suppose everyone has a different concept of what Gundam "is" and when a production's nature conflicts with this it causes them some amount of displeasure

I think I'd probably be a little more lenient towards it if it weren't for the fact I still view it as Baby's First Gundam since it aired on Toonami, and I haven't stopped hearing about how it's the SICKEST poo poo since
