I was a qa tester on the XCOM fps and the va for Carter, the main character, a grizzled old drunkard cop, is the same as Heero Yui.

The TV series is the only correct way to watch 0079. The movies cut out all the cool monster of the week robots and awesome Gundam gadgets. Plus you miss the episode where it turns out the guys who are most successful at fighting the Gundam were a bunch of undersupplied nobodies who realized they could just use speeder bikes and IED's and be way more effective than the generals who always try to stop the Gundam with some new super-weapon.

I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.
I finished berserk (1997) and found it really beautiful and substantial... I have been thinking about it quite a lot, the ending made me a bit uncomfortable with being alive, so that is a great success on it's part. I also loved how it took it's time with the story and had many beautiful panning shots. I rewatched the first episode again afterwards as it serves as a bit of an epilogue and there is quite a lot going on there that's put into a vivid new context. like, a carriage taking away a cage stuffed full of children, possibly to be trained as child soldiers but otherwise not used narratively, just one of the ways that man has no control, even over his own will

I may take a peek at the third movie since that sounds like the best one, but is the 2016 series simply not worth looking into?

I found the 2016 series completely unwatchable, like I can be iffy about 3d anime sometimes but it's -exceptionally- rough looking. 1997 Berserk's ost isn't an easy thing to compete against either.

As someone who loves Berserk: the comic, I would rather someone never learn that Berserk exists than show them the 2016 series.

lmao the first episode of Gundam Wing ends with the hero tearing up an invitation to a teenage girl's birthday party and then promising to murder her.

I haven't watched it since the Toonami days but that fact will never leave me
dude how the gently caress can you forget this? personally, my family is under strict instructions to place me into a reduced cognitive care facility should I ever forget what "i'll kill you" is in japanese. the sick BGM kicking in the second after delivery has had me howling for 20+ years now.

On the one hand the first batch of arcs after the 90's anime ending are the best in the comic. On the other hand the series is in hiatus hell and may never be finished.

well my wife and I are like halfway through geass season 2 and I'm sad to say it has become stupid as poo poo. like we'll still finish it because you guys are saying the ending is good, but it's sad. S1 was pretty much a masterpiece imo. any of the movies/ovas worth watching?

There's a huge climactic moment towards like halfway or 2/3rds point where the main character and the Char-type rival from the opposing ideological faction are dueling each other in a big Gundam fight and then pause halfway through to switch Gundams because they're just not vibing with the ones they're currently in and think it would just fit better the other way around.

Don't forget that these two Gundams are the only two Gundams in existence that are programmed to drive their pilots insane or something.

Guess I'm re-watching Wing sometime.
