chumbler posted:Build Fighters can be recommended for more than just that. As long as you're not after hard sci fi or whatever (why would you be watching gundam then) it's a legit fun story in addition to its fantastic fights. It's also basically a sports anime so it's good if that's your thing, too.

The G-Armor is lame because even ignoring how dumb it is, it takes up a lot of screentime in the show that serves no purpose. You can tell it was mandated because they have multiple episodes where they're testing out the G-Armor for no reason, with the same stock footage.

Sakurazuka posted:The first time I heard of Gundam was in a regular anime column in a SNES mag I read at the time. It was complaining about how popular series with female main characters in had become lol. This was in like 1993 I would not be surprised if people have been complaining about cute girls ruining anime since shortly after it existed

Namtab posted:Are we going with casual spoiler rules or extreme tviv danger rules? I feel common sense rules are the best, in that the shows are so old that in a general conversation there's no need for tags but if someone is going through one of them for the first time and posting about it, might as well be polite.

MonsieurChoc posted:That's nothing: we almost got Super Robot Wars Alpha back in the days (Dreamcast version), only to be stopped by one company not willing to lend the rights. Just ONE, out of the massive clusterfuck that is the SRW franchise melting pot. You've got three guesses about what company that was, and the first two don't count. Harmony Gold is lame but this has always been a rumor with no evidence whatsoever

I really like the choreography and direction of 0080's opening battle. Despite how one-sided it is, I find it handled well enough that it's an aspect that doesn't even matter.

I'm not convinced that ZZ was an attempt to "troll" anything, since it's quite in line with a lot of Tomino's comedies from that era.

Also waving your hands around and shouting about Puru being creepy character for creepers isn't gonna make it true.

Droyer posted:I think you're projecting what you want tomino to be onto everything he's done, and forcing ZZ to fit that mold. I think a notable fact here that backs your statement up is that not only did ZZ start up immediately after Zeta ended, but in preproduction it was referred to as Zeta Gundam Part 2 Srice fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Oct 21, 2015 |

My objection to it is mainly on the grounds that it's all background fluff from other materials that is not really represented in the show itself.

If they can bring in Studio Orange to handle the CGI then I'd be down with that.

Another good reason to not skip ZZ is that there are important things that start up in Zeta that aren't resolved until ZZ. Like a lot of the Neo Zeon stuff, for one!

Like yeah you don't need to see ZZ to watch CCA, but ZZ carries over some character stuff from Zeta, and I think that's important too.

ZZ is legit pretty funny. Tomino's comedy is pretty underrated, he's great at having characters just bounce off each other in amusing ways.

The 2nd Origin episode had a bunch of pretty great character moments, and once again Ramba Ral stole the show. Only thing that really bugged me was how they awkwardly show younger versions of a few characters just to have them be around. You see Amuro in a scene and it serves no purpose, to the point where even if you were to find someone who didn't know this was a prequel, that scene would key them in.

There are also *two* bar fights, in this episode, and they're both good for different reasons.

Arcsquad12 posted:How was the CGI this time around? Are they still using the Battle of Loum as a framing device like the first film? There's pretty much no mecha stuff outside of a scene where they're testing out mobile workers, and the CGI was fine for those. They didn't open up with that battle which is a shame since what we get instead is a 4 minute recap of the previous episode.

One thing I do appreciate about The Origin is that even though he hasn't had much screen time, Dozle is a lot more compelling here than he was in the original show. Outside of awkwardly shoehorning in references to events in MSG, I really do enjoy how all of the characters have been handled so far, especially some that are minor characters in the series proper.

ImpAtom posted:Yeah, that's something I disliked in the original manga too. Some of them make a little sense (Mirai is established as being from a big deal family) but Babby Sayla meeting Babby Amuro is dumb dumb dumb. Yeah It's universally one of the lamest things a prequel can do, it's dumb fanservice that a lot of fans don't even want. I didn't mind Mirai showing up since there was a point to it, as minor as it was.

Gammatron 64 posted:Oh hey, I didn't realize that MSG was on Blu Ray already. It's a few bucks cheaper than the DVD set on Amazon. Is it worth it on Blu ray? The animation isn't exactly amazing. It does look nicer, if you don't have the dvds then absolutely pick it up, but if you already have the dvds then I guess it depends on how often you rewatch it
