What went terribly wrong?
>>279990720 (OP)>What went terribly wrong?it was people's second gundam series
It's what-if UCslop with multiverse shit thrown in on top of being horribly written in general.
>>279990720 (OP)>MALThis shit ought to be grounds for an insta-ban.
>>279990720 (OP)If you do something for long enough, it becomes an unconscious habit. Tsurumaki and every other big-time creative at Khara spent almost 20 years of their lives recreating and riffing on Anno's magnum opus. When that was over, they didn't know what else to do so they tried the same trick on Gundam. Problem is, they had to come up with something original, and the talented person who originally came up with the source material wasn't in the room with them directing their every move.
>>279990720 (OP)It doesn't pander to dimwits.
>>279990982>>279991152Was GQux really so good that dissenting opinions should be banned or considered โdimwittedโ? If so, doesnโt this make GQ one of the best and most successful Gundam series of all time? Thatโs a pretty high bar. Even Zeta is allowed to have more criticism than GQux.

>>279991120>Tsurumaki and every other big-time creative at Khara spent almost 20 years of their lives recreating and riffing on Anno's magnum opusTsurumaki worked on Evangelion. He was basically Anno's second-in-command in both the show and the Rebuilds.
By all accounts, he deserves as much credit for NGE as Anno does.
>>279991909Or as much criticisms for Rebuild as Anno does.
>a 7 that's closer to an 8 vs a 7 that's closer to a 6
>>279990720 (OP)GQuuuuuuX is not only the worst gundam anime, but is one of the shittiest anime originals ever put out. Normalfags giving it a 7/10 is sheer insanity.
>>279991974Bingo. Each and every discussion on Evangelion is "Anno this, Anno that...", when there's a whole bunch of well-known people that played a big part of it:
>Kazuya Tsurumaki (created FLCL)>Shinji Higuchi (went to direct live-action)>Yoji Enokido (wrote Utena)>MasayukiPlus the rest of the core GANIAX crowd (Hiroyuki Imaishi, Mahiro Maeda, Yoshitoh Asari, Tensai Okamura, Takeshi Honda, etc) and other figures that participated on it (Mitsuo Iso,
Satoshi Shigeta, Seiji Mizushima, etc).
>>279990720 (OP)>MALIdk, maybe lack of LGBTQIA+ people and moodern sensitivity.
>>279991909I cut out mention of that fact -- yes, he literally consigned himself to decades of recreating the same magnum opus that he helped put together (while also working on a sequel for Gunbuster, another Anno work).
>>279990720 (OP)MAL ratings suck ass. The 6-7 range is filled with underrated stuff.
>>279990720 (OP)Maleshit and hetshit
>>279991975Honestly should be a bigger gap.
>>279990720 (OP)When will you retards realize that Yuri always win?
>>279990720 (OP)>Underground Gundam fighting Oh! That sounds co--
>NAH! Here some AU fanfic aimed at old farts!
GQuuuuuuX has slipped further on Bangumi, dropping below GWitch in the last 24 hours. The next Gundam entry below GQuuuuuuX is Cucuruz's Island. If you don't count that, the next one is Seed Destiny.
>oh, Gwitch was a financial success, let's have a female protagonist and 'MS duel'
>UC is loved by many gundam fans, let's make alternate version of it, but we're not confident enough on this universe alone so let's keep referencing the original UC
>>279994442Gcucks was In The works before gwitch thoughever
>>279994289I agree. G-reco movie when?
>>279990982It used to be bannable as "trolling outside of /b/" in the same way as OPs using Twitter or ANN screencaps used to be bannable offenses but sadly a lot of shit slides now that self-modding got clamped down on.
>>279991989It's very bad but it's still not worse than Victory Gundam. Given the staff listed I have no idea why it was only 12 episodes with such a clearly condensed plot.
>>279994442Extremely ignorant post.
I hope the studio realizes that you never fuck with yurichads.
>>279990720 (OP)>What went terribly wrong?It felt like two different animes mashed together and the ending was godawful. Even the name Gquuuuuux feels like they were just taking the piss.
I could have forgiven all that if we got another whorehouse episode, and more time with Lalah's maid daughters.
>>279994890They're kids you fucking creep.

>>279995752Mostly fair-enough review, but
>GQuuuuuuX's new characters are emblematic of this fatal flaw. Amate Yuzuriha (aka Machu), Nyaan and Shuji Ito are all fantastic newcomers to Gundam's canon. They're all likable leads with well-defined motives and desires.Whoa, let's not get crazy now.
>>279990720 (OP)Not made for western audience. Japan is loving it
>>279990982>>279994289So what's the /a/ narrative behind MAL bad Bangumi (Chinese MAL) good?
>>279993094post 5 recent 'underrated' anime
>>279990720 (OP)Not enough Machu's boobs
>>279991975That's not how rounding works, anon...
>>279994289chinese shat on gsuuuuucks even more? lmao
>>279998509Bath house scene every episode, increasingly complicated as new girls get added. Machu trapped between Shiiko and Lalah.
>>279997072it was fine until you showed up
If they'd removed the main trio and told the story from Challia and Zeon's point of view, it would have had a lot more time to develop the whole AU thing they were clearly more invested and fix the pacing issue. They wasted to much time in the clanbats, and honestly I couldn't care less for neither Nyaan nor Machu, Shuji was boring to, but at least his character was a bit more interesting for the little screentime he had.
And Anno and Tsurumaki should stop being so self-referential, it took me out of the story every time they included a reference to EVA or FLCL.
>>279990720 (OP)Both are pointless shit with directionless plots and rushed, unsatisfying conclusions.
>>279990720 (OP)>MALPlease commit sudoku
>>279990720 (OP)It's miles better than gbitch even if it's not really that good, by the way the last episode had more discussion on Japan than gbitch so cry about it.
im seen only 3-4 gundamns and oh boy last episodes of Quacks was really bad I think this episodes was for lorenerds
GQuuuuuuuuuuuuuX just isn't that good. It's pretty as all hell but the story just isn't there. The clan battle shit is stupid considering the latter half of the show and somehow spending 30 minutes with Shuji was enough to turn two different girls into terrorists. And the fact that the show starts off as an alternative universe from 0079 also makes the whole thing reek of fanfiction.
>>279990720 (OP)>Using MAL on /a/Yuritranny has lost the plot completely, this is a new level of mind broken for this retard
>>279990720 (OP)Pandering to yuri nigger this what went wrong.
Hope they fuck off now.
>>280000252Except there's no yuri in gquacks
>Hurrrr what if this actually happened instead of the canon
Fanfic tier premise to begin with.
Relies too heavily on nostalgia from 0079 and zeta which zoomers are allergic to.
It tried too hard with multiverse shit and the payoff was just awful. Yes we know from the beginning as viewers that this isnt the canon timeline so when they explain the alt universe shit in the last episode its completely unsurprising and boring. As I watched the last episode I was just wishing it would be over already, it was very boring. I hade some slight hope after episode 7 when the plot finally started going but it ended up going back to shit.
>>279996211>two boomers with no kids.png
>>279994971but japanese le good
Faggot OP if you use MAL as a standard, you have to acknowledge that Frieren is better than steins:gate first
>>280000657Wait the EVA guy DOESN'T have kids? Isn't that like the central message of the entire fucking anime? HAVE SEX? How can he not have kids? the fuck
>>280000749Now you know they don't know how to write women.
>And then, listen carefully Kamille, this is where it gets great...
>And then the White Devil grew gigantic
>Bigger than the Zeong, bigger than the Big Zam, bigger than Haman's a...wait, now quite but almost as big as Haman's ass
>And our heroine Machu unlocks her Gundam 01 Endymion mode with Tuxedo Ma-no wait, Sei..., goddamnit, Amuro's soul inside it, runs on the white devil's giant arms and severs its head with a perfect Zandatsu while Jpop plays in the background
>Now cut to Zeon where Artesia rightfully becomes the supreme god empress of mankind with the loyal Ramba Ral watching over her, you didn't expect Ral to show up here all of a sudden, eh Kamille?
>And lastly, cut to our handsome hero Char Aznable, who reunites with his fated lover and metaphorical mother Lalah, who tears up upon seeing him
>And everyone lived happily ever after, oh yeah Machu and Nyaan also live together now I guess
>But man, this is gonna be a hit with the audience, don't you think so Kamille?
>...Kamille?
You have to watch other shows to understand Gquuuuuux. GWitch>Gquuuuuux
>>280000879Not even close troon
>>280000824The giant Gundam was when I lost all respect for Gquuex. They should have just thrown in a musical while they were at it since they clearly didn't give a fuck.
>>279991120Diebuster is a masterpiece though
Yet another series that suffered from the retarded 12 episode season length.
They deserve to get their studio burned for having Lalah be raped daily in their universe.
>>279991909Tsurumaki is more responsible for Shin than the originals by a pretty big margin.
Him and Enokido. People cite collaborative effort in the original particularly for the run from 16-26, but there's more hands in that cookie jar. More iron sharpening iron. Shin Eva is still more collaborative than the single writing credit suggests at first glance but it's a smaller cabal.
I think some anons really, really needed Gquacks to be better than Gwitch, to provide some kind of moral victory. Unfortunately they were let down and Gquacks ended up being even worse than Gwitch.
>>279998300>So what's the /a/ narrative behind MAL bad Bangumi (Chinese MAL) good?Typical hipster mentality. Anything perceived as mainstream is bad, according to these idiots.
MAL is a perfectly fine database to find and track shit.
>>279990720 (OP)MAL is quick to recognize trash. They realized this was shit after episode 1, /a/ only realized it after episode 8 or so.
>>280000824handjob with those gloves on
>>280001090If Gwitch didnโt exist, no one would pretend to like this shit
>>279990720 (OP)gay show about romance and relationships instead of fucking war which is why this entire franchise got popular but tomino and anno are fucking retard hacks and old testosteroneless pussies who forgot that the entire point of gundam is cool robots fighting in war and maybe cool times.
>Japan loves it
>nonstop praise by everyone in all their social media in Japan
>outside of Japan
>it's mixed
I guess pandering to the Japanese was the wrong idea.
>>280001310Lol no, nips agree it was objectively bad.
>>279990720 (OP)>Yurifags: WfM is great, look how much better of a score on MAL it has!!>Also Yurifags: IBO having a higher score on MAL than WfM doesn't matter.MAL is a dogshit website that has Turn A at a 6.
>>279990982The Americans have spoken. Current percentage of MyAnimeList voters that gave the latest episodes of the currently airing Spring cour shows top marks, making for a decently accurate popularity ranking list.
>>279990720 (OP)>What went terribly wrong?Their UC fanfiction just fucked around with 'what if' ideas and 'remember that?' events without developing them or proposing anything new. Tsurumaki and Enokido wanked their old UC favourites so much they totally neglected the new characters.
>>280001090No idea why this rivalry exists. It's like they only watched 2 shows in this franchise.

>>280001085TV Eva was a big collaborative effort that Anno deliberately downplays.
>>280000749Anno is a proud manchild who will die without offspring. In some ways he's a better dad than Miyazaki.
>>280001003War in the pocket needed half as many episodes to tell a complete story. Dogshit pacing is what ruined it.
>>280001744B-but it was an OVA!!! It doesn't count!!!
it has the mech art quality equal to Hathaway or Unicorn and yet that final battle created the most boring ass RX-78-2 design, didn't even use the Origin design....
>>280000922PHONIC GAIN DATTO?!?
>>280001744To be fair War in the Pocket has 3 relevant characters.
GCuck story was way too expansive for 12 eps and they wasted almost half of that on pointless shit.
>>279991120>>279991152It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of tomino. They're trying to please a tomino from 30/40 years ago when he's clearly grown.
Back then when Gundam was newer, he held UC as the holy grail and disliked/didn't care for alternate universes and stuff that wasn't UC. Turn A is his softening of that stance and accepting of it, current Tomino keeps telling people to not look at the past and make new things.
The entire show reeks of Anno going "am I making you proud, daddy Tomino?" by desperately going on about how UC is the best and how awesome it is, not understanding that Tomino himself wanted others to make new stories and not rehash old UC stuff.
>>280000824Come to find out the poor bastard bit his own tongue off. Sitting through Fa's terrible stories and getting molested by her when nobody was looking that must have really done a number on him, catatonic or not. I can't imagine being a prisoner in my own body while some vile whore bounces on top of me shrieking like a banshee about did Four feel this good or did Emma Sheen have this tight this and that. I just cannot imagine it. I am shuddering in my chair at the thought. Them Green Noa girls are temptresses. I believe in a sign of Zeta, yes lord.
Not even a decade ago, blatant MAL threads would be deleted. This thread has been up for 11 hours.
>>280001830Yeah but it shows the episode length ain't the problem
>>279990720 (OP)When are we getting Isekai Gundam?
>>280000824I see Gquuuuuux as a story gradually told by Quattro to Kamille over the duration of Zeta, each episode is a point where he sits down and tells more of the story in between the show's plot. By the end no one learns anything and they chalk it up to him being a weirdo.
>>279990720 (OP)Story was too busy schlicking to member-berries, instead of actually developing it's premise.
Why the hell does the tech level not match up with Zeta?
Why are they using smartphones? Why does the RX-78 use electronics instead of a physical manual?
>>280001834It's made by Tsurumaki, not Anno, retard. And it's made for Tsurumaki fans. No one gives a fuck about Tomino.
>>280000119>makes the whole thing reek of fanfictionIt truly is.
>>280000922The magical girl Char from a week ago was even worse than the AFTERIMAGES WITH MASS balloon Gundam. It should have been s Build Fighters entry instead - you could get away with crazy shit in toy battles.
>>280001264>gay show about romance and relationshipsYou Zeta haters need treatment.
>>280001949Annos name is in the credits fag
>>280001862THIS WAS THE ISEKAI GUNDAM DUH
>haters are just anti-UC shitposters
figures
>>280001960Anno is credit for episodes 2, 8/9 only.
>>280001995>shuji was the self insert Mary Sue oc that got to have 2 chicks go crazy for him, meet char, and pilot the rx 78It all makes sense now
>>280001949Ah yes.
That's why they made a shot for shot remake of the first scene from the original Gundam.
That's why they play music from Tomino's films.
That's why they insert quotes from Tomino's novels.
That's why they constantly copycat scenes from Tomino's series'.
The only parts that are generally liked about Gquux originated from Tomino's works, the stuff that reeks of Tsurumaki - Machu, Shuji, Nyaan has received mixed reception at best.
>>280002025But I wanted a series about those three and found all of the UC shit annoying filler.
>>280001492>It's like they only watched 2 shows in this franchise.That is the case for a lot of people ITT yes. The other type of Gquacks hater is the type of feels a kind of emotional ownership over this franchise and thinks they are better than the people who write it, and get extremely spergy and upset when the writers don't write it exactly the way they think it should be written.
>>280002025>Machu, Shuji, Nyaan has received mixed reception at bestYou know why? Because they were underdeveloped and just shafted by the story with no agency or moments to shine on their own. Only Shuuji got some glamour with his Space Janny duties. The writer used the least effort possible on these characters, focusing instead on Tomino's characters.
>>280002039>But I did eat breakfast yesterday!
>>280002046You forgot the other faction:
I like Pokemon, not Gundam.
I cheered when the Pokemon character shot the Gundam character in the back.
I booed when the Gundam character killed the Pokemon character.
>>280002094I speak for everyone.
>>280002046No, it's just obsessive fantards who only watch like 1 new anime a year. This was it for them. Imagine it: you basically don't watch anime at all, then you sit down to watch this, a hype Gundam series, you want a long, convoluted plot full of intrigue and drama and maybe some mobile suit battles and you get 12 episodes of fluff and fanservice with the substance of cotton candy.
If you watch a lot of anime every season GQuuuuux probably was a pleasant enough viewing experience, if you watch a lot of anime and are a UC gundam fan then you probably even enjoyed it a lot. But if you're the type of fantard that ONLY watches Gundam / mecha and went all-in on this show being some kind of space opera epic, or at least full of drama, then you'd feel cheated. That's the mood of these threads. People who showed up with expectations for a big event only to get Gundam Lite.
Not killing Challia was such a fucking cop out.
I was expecting the story to live up to the UC reputation and kill off half its cast. Fuck this piece of shit. Can't believe you niggers memed me into watching this while promising it would resolve itself somehow in 12 episodes
>>280001956>femcharI can be a father to her.
Why did the Gquacks have amuros voice?
>>280002090I think Machu is a perfectly good, likeable character. She got handed a real short end of the stick with the story though, being reduced to chasing after Shuji who is a terrble character.
Their love story is shit because it's one of the main points of focus and there's barely anything, the finale where he falls in love with her because she spouts a bunch of generic cliches was just painful.
And Nyaan is a completely pointless character who becomes retarded halfway through and writers start rolling dice to randomly determine what action she will take. Before the final episode I was convinced that she would take Shuji's side but nah, she just turns on a dime. One of the worst characters I've ever seen.
>>280002118>If you watch a lot of anime every season GQuuuuux probably was a pleasant enough viewing experience, if you watch a lot of anime and are a UC gundam fan then you probably even enjoyed it a lotThat's literally the audience shitting on GQ. Its biggest fans are people who don't watch anime

witchxisters.....
our narrative...........
>>280002564>witch started a revitalization of gundam
>>280002182Machu and Nyaan are pretty solid characters. Theyโre supposed to represent two sides of freedom.
Machu is idealistic with a strong sense of justice. She does whatever she feels is right without caring about authority.
Nyaan fought just to survive. Her idea of freedom is simply being free tomorrow. She did whatever helped her make it through the next day because she never had the privilege to think any further.
Their beliefs were put to the test when Machu became a terrorist and Nyaan turned into a mass murderer.
Is justice still worth it when it ends up hurting you and the people around you?
Is life worth living if you have to throw away your dignity to keep going?
Their clash in worldviews had the potential to build a really strong story.
Instead, we just got more Shuji vs Shuchan crap.

I have been a Gundam fan for a decade now. Zeta Gundam is my favorite anime ever made full stop.
I made it through one episode of G-Witch.
I am 36 years old you would have to pay me to watch this brain dead young adult crap. G-Witch is a show made for morons like 20 years younger than me I might as well be watching the Twilight movies.
>>280003539Everyone who isn't a cocksmoking fag like you
>>280003814zoomers don't fucking know what twilight is grandpa
Jesus christ this really is a nursery home for dementia-stricken millenials, fucking angry geezers wandering all over the place
>>280004126Maybe they SHOULD know what Twilight is. They would love it if it was about two cute girls uguu~
>>280004094Probably shouldn't post MAL screenshots then since it seems to be the least popular part of the franchise.
>>280003814Twilight is well written compared to the absolute shitfest of stories written these days, unfortunately. I have low standards!
>>2800023552nd seasons almost always have inflated scores

I literally can't think of a better seal of quality than this.
>>279998300>MAL>BangumiIsn't the "/a/ narrative" in favor of anidb?
>>280005423Japan did NOT like this show.
Japanese MAL aka Anikore has this in the bottom ranked Gundams.
Same for Amazon Prime (main streamer)
>>280005595Why the fuck would anybody be in favour in AniDB?
>>279992532Precisely. You instantly lose the gay audience the moment you make something that isn't gay. But this isn't the same as Sunrise 'being finished', as homo OP wants to claim, especially when the only source is MAL.
>>280005840Frankly said, I haven't used it in years, because I have all but stopped watching anime.
Only dropped into /a/, because I had just finished watching GQuuuuuuX.
At least until the early 2010s, anidb was the place to be for all information on series new and old - including the user rating, but I never paid much attention to that.
Has anything noteworthy happened to anidb?
If I were Shuji I would have had a threesome with Machu and Nyaan already
>>280002835>pretty solid charactersHow fucking low are your standards? Christ
>>280005423Japan didn't like it at all though
>>279994695Nobody fucks them, thats why they are into yuri
>>279990720 (OP)12 Episodes.
It was the abridged version of a gundam series that don't exist.
>>280005723It's not hard to understand why this is the most hated gundam ever. Yurifags were baited and then dumped. Yaoifags were baited and dumped. UCfags were baited into watching an interesting alt universe and ended up with retarded plots, paper thin mcs and timejanny bullshit. At least Hathaway is coming and that has way more interesting and well drawn characters so we can all stop pretending to like this trainwreck.
>>279995752I feel like Tomino's words aren't applicable here. No matter how you look at it, G cucks does tell an original story that is unique to the entire franchise.
>>280005423it's pretty easily the biggest anime of the year so far in Japan
>>280005423Do not avert your eyes.
>>280006379>biggest anime of the yearAre animes now like 6 episodes?
>>280005423I mean it makes sense? western politics and media literacy gets worse every year
>>280006392>global rating
>>280001090>>280001492>>280002046>>280002118I liked GQuuuuuuX better because unlike the production team behind WfM (who primarily focused on Suletta X Miorine while having the gall to devote some time to stuff like the Earthian-Spacian divide and Quiet Zero all in the span of a 25-episode cour), Khara were more honest that they weren't going into full detail about how different GQuuuuuuX Universal Century is from Primary Universal Century.
>>280006392You literally can't even fuck me into caring about arbitrary numerical scores from Amazon.
>>280006379I can guarantee to you that Lord of the Mysteries (Chinese) will be bigger than anything japan can shit out. It keeps happening because japan keeps putting out inferior stories but the chinese are good at copying the best parts of things and eventually the chinese take over the market, like what happened with gacha
>>280006452Amazon.com and Amazon.co.jp entries for GQuuuuX have different ASINs.
>>280000741Steins;Gate is slop so it's not that hard to be better.
>>280006495nobody gives a shit about chinks
>>280006495Are you seriously shilling Chinese shit right now.
now that the dust has settled, where would you rank GQuuuuuuX compared to other gundam shows?
>>279990720 (OP)Why won't they just hire good writers, thats all you need to write a good story
>>280006495>Chink shitNo thanks.
>>280006602I think I enjoyed more than Gundam ZZ. So I would personally placed some place above ZZ, but below Zeta. In terms of AUs, I would place it pretty much above most AUs like Wing obviously, G Gundam, even Victory, maybe somewhere close to After War Gundam X, I would even rate Gundam X just slightly above G cucks.
>>280001172No, it's not perfectly fine. MAL is social media shit with most normalfaggot reviews and ratings there are.
>>280006034>doesn't even watch animeTypical for MAL defenders to be like this. Bunch of secondary faggots who pretend to have taste.
>>280005423>Only the Japanese liked the showWhere are you looking? All big imageboards hate it
>>280006452It's actually doing way better in the US than on JP.
>>280006474No way Brazil has more literate people than the US.
>>280001310Those Oricon puff pieces aren't a reflection of the show's actual reception.
>>280006602As a nigga who thinks unicorn is the best gundam ever, I'd say definitely better than ibo and gbitch. Probably better than victory too. Still under the classics though. I also didn't really like the first gundam series.
>even Gundam isn't safe from multiverse shit
>>280001834But its new? Even the origin point isn't UC, its an alternate UC and then Lalah started making fanfiction. The core thing is being free and they get Lalah and the UC stuff to fuck off.
they wasted suisei on this mediocre show...

>>280006732I have probably watched more anime than you will in your entire fucking life.
I have also NEVER used MAL. I said, anidb was great and that it at least used to be /a/'s go-to site for keeping your collection in check.
Let's just say, American and Chinese influence on anime hasn't been good.
I'm still watching the one or other show, but there is no real point getting too much into /a/, if it's ultimately shit targeting the American or Chinese market instead of the Japanese die-hards.
There is still enough content like that around, but anime in particular has felt subdued for the last few years.
I want FREEDOM. That's part of what made seek refuge in Japanese media in the late 90s in the first place.

>>280006800The US being full of retards is so obvious even its presidents are visibly retarded
Pretty sure this shit had terrible CGI fights so that ruined any chance of it being popular from viral clips. And I didn't see it, but I'm sure the director made some pretentious, borderline incomprehensible shit that feels very out of place in a Gundam series
>shitposters on /a/ are so seething with rage at this show that they are not only trying to use MAL ratings to shit on it but now making up a complete lie that Japan actually hated it
What the fuck is wrong with you losers!??!
>>280006800USA is a third world country and not only that, like half of the country are republicans so that brings the literacy rates down quite a bit.
>>280007319G-Witch fans are really mad /m/ doesn't like their show that has more in common with Boochi The Rock than 0079.
>>280006602Best Gundam anime in last 10 years (with possible exception of SD Gundam World SSD/Heroes which I still haven't seen yet). Followed by Build Divers ReRise and Thunderbolt. Easily better than the last two AU TV series at least.
Before the last episode I thought it would be 7 or 8 out of 10, but it unironically exceeded all my expectations resolving both of its main plotlines well and giving a bunch of good fanservice on top of it, so it might've pushed it to 9 for me.
If I had to say something, it might've needed an additional episode or two to focus on the main trio for people that couldn't pick up on their relationship nuances and in particular show more of Shuji, who kind of got a short end of stick (because I swear, he's the most misunderstood character by the audience looking through threads).
Hell, even a half of an episode would've been enough. You could cut OYW flashback early on that doesn't add much to the story as it is mainly just a remake of original show with little changes.
>>280007353Your "republicans" ain't shit next to our nordestinos.
>>280007319MAL ratings are the most reliable gauge of public opinion on anime available. That being said they do overpraise mid shit so I can't say its always right, but it is the most accurate gauge of popularity
>>280007353I don't want to get political, but it isn't the republicans bringing the literacy rate down, Juan...
>>280007423Yeah the people cutting funding to public schools aren't bringing down the literacy rate. Okay.
>>280007452The head of our education department is the wife of the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment. Actually defend that shit.

>>280007376did we watch the same shiws
>>280007452How about not bringing the third world to the US?
He who imports the third world, will turn into the third world.
Democrats want that, because they think they secure voters with those new citizens.
And if they keep spreading the lie about "Republicans=Hillbilly-Nazis, that hate all people who are not", they thought they could achieve that.
That's why they lost their fucking mind when even Hispanics and Black people started trending towards Trump.
You'd need a tiered education system in the US, where you focus on the more fundamental skills for some, instead of forcing even the motherfucking illiterate to go to college - FOR JUSTICE of course.
Screw your retarded "JUSTICE", that does nothing but get everyone killed after living a miserable "life".

>>280000741Only retards think Steins;Gate deserves to be rated that high in the first place.
The real solution is not using MAL at all of course.
>>280007789What do you think the top 10 anime of all time are

GQX failed and they were pretty quick to announce Hathaway in a sort of attempt to deflect from how bad this show was
>>280007958It's pretty obvious that they threw in Hathaway announcement haphazardly because G cucks has ratings so high it'd be a great marketing push for the movie, missing the opportunity would've been losing money.
>>280007958But the twitter trends or something
>>280007744>>280007796nice try. next time, don't look at your phone when watching the show
>>280007518I'm too fucking lazy. Just sit down, turn off your phone and watch the show again.
On a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is G and 10 is G-Reco is like a 3. As in you don't have to try much to understand it.
Well, unless you're a literal retard that thought that "kirakira is drugs" or whatever else unfunny memes that were going on.
On Shuji in particular, I recommend rewatching episode 7, it is pretty telling.
>>280007738Meh. I don't like Hathaway's Flash much.
I guess the novel is neat for Tomino's writing and movies got neat production value, but that's about it. I wish we got an adaptation of Hi-Streamer instead, as a prequel to CCA, because it actually needs one.
The good news about it is that after Hathaway's trilogy Bandai planned to go further forward to Late UC and I'm all for it.
>>280007958>i skipped through the positive comments and posts which means japan hated itI think your deductive skills could use a bit of work
>>280006602Mid at best, probably in the bottom half though. Told a shitty fanic story.
First half was garbage clan bat shit that was a waste of time. Ep 7 was clearly the peak as the plot finally started moving forward and it was decent until the last episode which was awful. The multiverse shit is too obvious and boring of a ending.
>>280008025What are the good stories between Hathaway and say F91?
>>280007518gquacks had the most basic, reference-filled plot and characters and you still need a explanation? how slow are you?
>>280008060>There were more negative than positive>Majority of positives were from earlier episodesSorry the show you like was shit
>>280007728>No argumentTypical gcucks defender.
>>280008123>No argument just namecallingTypical gcocksucker defender
>>280008078From already existing stuff?
F91 Crossbone Vanguard novel by Tomino (also adapted as F91 Prequel in manga format) and F90 Fastest Formula manga.
Other things include F90 and Silhouette Formula, but they are just decent at best and mainly good as additional context to Fastest Formula/Cluster.
>>280008025>I wish we got an adaptation of Hi-Streamer instead, as a prequel to CCA, because it actually needs one.That's what I hope too. Though not a 1:1 adaptation, just the title and some elements from the first volume and the first half of the second volume (before the novel introduced Quess Paraya).
Ideally, this hypothetical adaptation should be used to adapt some of the video game plots (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Blue Destiny and Mobile Suit Gundam Side Stories: Missing Link) and do some merging with Tomino-directed UC and UC works not directed by Tomino.
>>280007958Just checked those sites and I still haven't seen any negative reactions

A proper 5-6/10, if it wasn't Gundam.
The Gundam-aspect heaves it into the 7-8/10-range.
>>280008284In recent chapters of Gundam Pulitzer we got James Stronger taking Kikka to Uncle Sam and talking with bartender about EGUM, so Bandai is willing to reference the events at least.

In GQuuuuuuX, Lalah in Rose of Sharon isn't from original show, as her Char actually took the hit and got killed by Gundam.
Now GQuuuuuuX voice (that is Amuro) says that he doesn't want Lalah to be killed by a Gundam anymore, meaning that OOParts Omega Psycommu were made from came from a different universe entirely.

>>280006379No? It's like 6th or 7th in the ratings. Which is pretty good (G-Witch was only about one spot better) but not the biggest in the country
I like how Tsurumaki subtly showed his opinion on the scandal with this scene. Real boomer hours pissing themselves about younger women standing up to their abuse.
>>280009578>machu feels warmth and reassured from the embracetsurumaki thinks furuya did the right thing?
>>280009451It's just post CCA Amuro who reached out from Beyond The Time to stop the kids from fighting. Would probably have told Char to stop being a pain in everyone ass and go fuck Lalah but Chalia already did.
>>280009862Funny thing is that the lines he say could be interpreted as "I don't want to beat women anymore"
>>280008025>Doesnt like Hathaway>Loves GcucksAh so youre just a marvel fan
>>280010355it just sounds like people trying to find deep meanings in scenes where there is none, just like what they did in eva.
no it's not a subtle jab at furuya. no it's not an appeal for gunota to accept au. no it's not tsurumaki's rebellion against anno. it's just meaningless homage that someone in khara finds it cool to include.
>>280010651Sorry, I'll try to communicate better that the post is a joke next time.
But also it carries quite literal meaning, as in "Amuro can't bear seeing Gundam killing Lalah anymore", so I'm not sure what you are talking about.
>>280010419Marvel is fine, but I'm more of a Cham fan.
>>280011052i understand the literal meaning, i just don't agree with the over-interpretation that it's a jab at furuya. all the other things are actual words i read that people used to excuse gqx.
i read people said machu's obession of freedom is tsurumaki's way of urging gundam fans to be more receptive to au that break away from traditional uc.
i read another person said gqx is tsurumaki's response to anno's rebuild.
and i categorically reject these "curtains are blue for a philosophical reason" claim, at least when it comes to gqx.
>>280010355I think he's beaten them enough for one lifetime.
Everyone else, on the other hand, has to make do with what? Video games? Simulacra of the actual experience in the form of ryona? That one women-punching manga?
He got his fill don't worry about that
Machu and Nyaan had no character besides their obsession with Shuji.
>>279990982Stop being a faggot
>>280009578That's more you being a retard and reading into it.
>>280011606>tsurumaki's response to anno's rebuild.TSURUMAKI DIRECTED THE REBUILDS.
Gquuuux is Anno's directorial response to the episodes that Tsurumaki wrote and Tomino's interpretation of his premier work Evangelion.
>>280013476>this is a jab at Furuya>but also Furuya's character is responsible for saving the day and everyone else at the climax of the seriesweird
>>280013520Yeah, that is Amuro Ray the MC of 0079.
>>280013215we finally crafted a worse relationship than heero/relena
>>280013476All of this was to say Amuro was Machu's real, destined MAV the whole time. Considering the way her carried her.
>>280000922For me it's A Baoa Qu making whale sounds. It's the kind of shit that would be fitting in Rebuilds but in Gundam it's just goofy.
Will they learn their lesson and stop making femcel MC's now?
>>280013693>Hathaway>Male MC>Kino>Gcucks>Female MC>Slopmuch to think about
>>280013614>heero/relenaIt wasn't a bad relationship though? Kira x Lacus was much worse and emptier.
>>280013693>femcelWhere? Her love got reciprocated in the end.
>>280013476i don't reject the suggestion that it's a reference to furuya's scandal. i reject the notion that the reference has any deep meaning (eg. it's a ridicule of furuya's behavior) beyond someone at khara thinks "it's cool looking therefore it needs to be in."
because that scene is not portrayed to be bad. machu is stressed before the hug and feels protected and assured afterwards.
my choice with that scene is either they never thought beyond the surface level, or they thought furuya's actions were positive.
i chose to believe the curtains are blue because the alternative is the creators are morally bankrupt.
I think it is a question if you can separate the VA from the character. Thats it. Can you?

>>280013215It is earned though.
I'm not sure how I feel about Shuji's "kimi ga suki dayo" specifically, but it's more about him being perhaps too blunt there, rather than confession itself.

>>280014898All of them. Even fat live action G-Saviour Char.
I don't know. All I know is that weekly G-Witch threads were way more interesting than weekly Gquuux threads. G Witch threads were an epic battle between yurifags, anti-yurifags & Guelfags, while Gquuux threads were a nothingburger.

>>280014723Apt comparison, from the POV of Machu at least. You can also make a comparison to Lalah and Amuro, in a way, with Shuji being in position of Lalah.
Except that Shuji doesn't have to be as loyal to Lalah, as Lalah was loyal to Char.
>>280015121I don't judge shit based on the quality of 4chan threads. If I did everything would suck absolute ass compared to Star Trek TNG.

>>280014946Here's a tl;dr just for (You): it says that GQuuuuuuX is a good show.
>>280014325he had an affair with a woman half his age and got exposed by the media, gomenasai itadakimasu everyone retire bow 120 degrees commit honorable sudoku, generic japanese scandal. (he probably only said fuck it and admitted to everything and retired because he's very old anyway, he sounded very very tired and rough in his one line in the show)
>>280015370He also forced her to get an abortion
>>280015332>it says a blatant lieWow, that's so much better.
>>280015421Was it forced? At his age the kid would probably come out retarded - people think only the age of the mother matters but statistically the age of both parents matters. Not to mention the fact that he couldn't really be much of a father to the poor kid in his fucking 70s.
>>280015465Proofs that it is a blatant lie?
>>280013880Kira/Lacus is still leagues beyond this.
>>280013520No. It's a jab at Furuya's "haters". There are a few holdouts, like this retard
>>280015507
Iโm still confused, where did Shuuji come from, how did he fall in love, why did he think the Gundam was talking to him?
>>280016386Who says I'm a hater? He's a very old man, that's just a fact.

>>280016491>Who says I'm a haterTypical retarded Furuya defender can't tell when he's being called out. You didn't look at the evidence?
>>280017029I'm genuinely confused what position you're taking and what you have issue with. literally what are you arguing and why
>>280018317>I'm genuinely confusedFigures someone who defends baby murder under the guise of eugenics would be retarded.

>>280018784go back to /pol/
>>280018963>who is defending anything?Maybe the tard who said
>>280015507 without knowing shit about what he said.
>>280019170So let's be clear, you're okay with murdering babies. Do you not think there's something fucked up about you?
>>280019639Why don't we talk about how you're "okay" with murdering innocent livestock for the food on your table everyday? What's the matter with you?
>>280019639I must say you're awfully invested in babies for someone who's never even had sex and never will, but I was just pointing out that, as a middle aged mistress and an ancient celebrity having an affair, their having a child would be a terrible idea for both of them, both physically and socially. But since there's a stigma against abortion in Japan because of fucking course there is, they have a stigma against just about everything, and they got caught and Furuya was falling on his sword anyway, he might as well say it was all his idea and he forced it on her, to save her from the shame of having an abortion. That's the exact kind of "taking responsibility" that always happens in these Japanese scandals. Now please, continue being an unhinged weirdo
>>279994289The Doan's Island movie is honestly better than both GQuacks and G-Witch's second cour. Probably even the first cour, considering how Prospera's mysterious schemes panned out for what they actually were.

>>280019911I didn't know that I don't pay attention to Japanese celebrity gossip
>>280020025Yes yes and I'm sure a woman should carry a baby to term if she gets raped (by a family member even) because she wouldn't want to be a "murderer".
>>280020040>I didn't know thatSo you jumped into a conversation, didn't understand what anyone was saying, made wild ad hominems and called me the weirdo for pointing out you defend the murder of babies, only to admit you knew nothing?
Get the fuck out of /a/ tourist.
>>280020118Murdering babies is okay
>>280020168Cool, go tell that to everyone you know. It's important to be honest.
>>280020071Fascinating how you keep trying to change the subject. Furuya had a child murdered and attacked the girl he seduced. He's scum. Why do you defend him and Tsurumaki who thinks it's no big deal

>>280020306>>280020306>>280020311Murder is wrong. Simple as that.
You agree with murder. That's very clear cut. There's no nuance to be found there. You defend a married man who seduced a younger woman abusing his talents as a seiyuu, then beat her and forced her to kill her child.
Nice to see the declarations of surrender after pretending you knew what you were talking about. You tourists are really something.
>>280008761Is this just two schizos flooding the comments section with scripts?
>>280020394But why is it bad to murder babies specifically? Surely there's a difference between "murdering" a baby, "murdering" an elderly person with a terminal disease via euthanasia, and murdering someone who is holding victims hostage. Will you answer the question honestly and explain your thought process?
>>280020501>But why is it bad to murderThat's all you had to say to be known as a psychopath. You're trying to change the subject. There's nothing more to discuss here.
>>280020527Answer the question

So, what are the chances that it will get a series of compilation movies?
I mean, Beginning was super popular and I bet that a lot of women would flock to cheer screenings.
Also it would be super funny if in movie version they would change G-Fighter to Core Booster
>give the OG Gundam fan creative control of an alt-UC series
>makes Space Patrol Luluco...but Gundam!
This shit just proved that Anno and Tsurumaki should never touch mecha/giant robot series ever again. I actually liked Luluco, for the record, but Gquuuux was basically a worse version of that while also being stretched out for 12 episodes.
>>280022267Considering how the ending went there is zero chance.
I actually liked the set-up from The Beginning but Khara butchered it with their writing because they let Enokido decide shit, who hadn't written anything good since RahXephon.

It's a reddit opinion.
>>280022342>Anno and Tsurumaki should never touch mecha/giant robot series ever againSo what should they make instead?
>>280022399They should retire and just post occasional cartoon doodles on pixiv.
>>280022342>makes Space Patrol Luluco...but Gundam!Elaborate.
How long will Gundam boomers keep seething about this show?
>>279990720 (OP)It looks like it was designed for twitterfags.
It really looks like some tranny westerners took a hammer to it.
Especially the character design.
>>280023161Until the entirety of humanity will evolve into newtypes...
>>280022738I don't remember what happened in that show but it's probably true.
>>280023208You sure you aren't looking at Requiem for Vengeance?
>>280002025>The only parts that are generally liked about Gquux originated from Tomino's works, the stuff that reeks of Tsurumaki - Machu, Shuji, Nyaan has received mixed reception at best.Reception from who? Tomino's cocksuckers? Normalfags? Why should I care?
I really liked the kikeroga challenge bull carried this show
>>280022738Luluco is a show about a young girl looking for something fulfilling, falling for a dreamy space guy, getting heartbroken and abandoned by space guy, but coming around to give him shit and have her love reciprocated with a kiss.
Machu's romance with Shuji is almost a mirror of Luluco and Nova's relationship.
Luluco is just Triggerwank.
>>280015507Why the hell are you info-dumping some random science? He beat her up and forced her to have an abortion - he admitted so himself.
>https://zeonic-republic.net/?page_id=11486You can't deflect from his crimes with the 'but the science says killing babies is okay!' schtick.
>>280009188Probably, also the giant gundam. Or at least something closely related.
>>280026608Killing babies is okay because I say it is
>>279990720 (OP)>member berries for UC watchers only>still went through with killing zabis>newtype bullshit went next level again (creating universes/talpla)>half the season was a waste of time>the speed escalated towards the end abandoning some of the useless characters for the old UC ones to play out some old cliches because they needed to be thereAU weirdness for a few people only. It's fanfic, but maybe 'official', because 'beyond the time' and timetravel craziness from unicorn. So, "a" lalah got to have her char, even though UC 0079 lalah chills out for like 15 years waiting for 'chars soul' (frontal) to finally give the fuck up and leave.
So now we know the requirement for a happy UC ending.
>kill Gihren and Kycilia
>nuke Gihren's supporters
>give Char a child bride
>>280030405Yeah, did we really need the headshot again? Did we REALLY need Char and BVLL recreating the last shooting? Like, at this point I don't even perceive that as a proper fight, it's just creators making a callback.
I enjoyed the returning characters more than the new ones but some of the memberries were just cringe, no other way to describe it.
>>280023831Ah, I guess it is similar on extremely surface level, while ignoring the characters and circumstances of Machu and Shuji.
>>280006800Nah, Brazil inflates its literacy rates. Realistically, it probably hovers just below the United States, or a little lower.
t. Hue with multiple illiterate relatives
Guys, this is the US Secretary of Education.
Think about it.
>>280030522Gihren and Kycilia were already dead in UC.
Nuked Gihren's supporters were likely Delaz's fleet+ analogue, you can expect Zabi loyalists to be on Mars, asteroid belt and wherever else. With Dozle faction managed by Karn family and Mineva growing up, with Gihren clones still quite likely being a thing and even with Garma still alive there are no end of banners they could flock to.
Char is still alive and can always return to start shit in some capacity and there is no active pilot Amuro to act as a detterance.
Earth Federation is getting more desperate and after seeing Yomagn'tho, likely willing to invest even more money into Bask's activities.
Scirocco is also coming back to the Earth Sphere in two years or so.
And then there are also a bunch of other entities like Anaheim, Ronah and Dogatie families, etc, that got their own agendas.
Doo-chan is recuperating at the moment. Please continue buying lots of merchandise to help support her recovery!
>>280030579>Yeah, did we really need the headshot again? Did we REALLY need Char and BVLL recreating the last shooting?Did we need to? No, it could've been something else with an equivalent result, like Char or Chalia killing Kycilia with something else and Char and Chalia disabling each other MS in other way.
Am I glad it happened? Yes, especially the former. Those moments are legitimately cool, done in a tasteful enough way and don't take enough time. People that watched the original could feel nostalgic, while the new audience could just see it for the first time and think that those sequences are damn sweet.
Honestly, I've got no idea why people percieve those as cringe, when episode 2 was way worse in that regard, yet a lot of the "Gundam fans" here consider it the best part of the show. I mean, it was interesting to see, like fan projects redrawing scenes from anime in Paint or something, but it was nearly utterly pointless in how elaborate it was from a story perspective.
so if the Gquuuuuux is Amuro
who is inhabiting the Gundam Shuji talks to
>>280031988so so so
Who gives a single fuck
>>280031988It means Machu was right
>>280031988Lalah. The Red Gundam's psycommu system is the same as the Elmeth's, that's how she was able to trigger zeknovas with it in the first place.
>>280032129why would Lalah be telling Shuji to kill Lalah
>>280031988There are a lot of possible answers to this question, including the Gundam's learning computer (those AI were known to be funky like that in UC even before people decided to do shit like putting ghosts and biological components in them)
>>280031988Why didn't shuji die when he was killed?
>>280032151I don't think she's stable.
>>280032241I feel like a lot of yurifags just aren't going to like 0079 which is such a goddamn shame.
>>280002025>Machu, Shuji, Nyaan has received mixed reception at best.Everyone positively wants to fuck Shuji though.
>>280032248Yeah, she wasn't thinking straight for quite some time.
>>280032281>Schemer/traitorNot applicable to Char.
>>280032281Why are you worried if they don't like that fujo gundam and without romance?
>>280032303You ever read Hamlet and he was pretending to be insane but then by the end of the play it is maybe implied that he wasn't all that pretending? It's like that with Char, and both characters have exactly as much love for revenge and fencing.
Don't worry guys, GQuuuuuuX will return in the SRW Y as DLC. Suletta and Machu can now team up to beat Paptimus.
>>280032348Because they are missing out on a brilliant cornerstone of Japanese animation and I want people to have nice things.
>was in development longer than Gwitch
>only give 1cour instead of 2 where it could've breathed a little and have the first half Side 6/Clan Batts while the second could be Earth/Zero Civil War with actual character development
>GWitch gets 2cour anyway, better fight animations, proper character development, more realistic story than "haha guess I'm a terrorist now for no reason"
GQuuuuuuX is evidence that you should just leave 0079 alone.
>>280032424>better fight animations, proper character development, more realistic storyWFM had none of those things
>>280032424>haha guess I'm a terrorist now for no reasonYeah, you should always have a good reason for becoming a terrorist.

>>280032424Nothing wrong with being a terrorist, as long as you believe in the cause.
>>280032574You tell 'em, Uncle Bask!
>>280032424>terrorist Did she even kill anyone?
>>279990720 (OP)>we want the pokemon audience
>>280032666No.
She had zero kills
>MP in episode 1? Lived>Her fist clan bat? Lived>Final episode? Basically just defeated the Giant Gundam, but Shuji is back to his universe.Kira Yamato is seething at her.
Honestly, even if the show is messy, the one thing I don't get are people reducing it to just being nostalgiawank. There's clearly a point trying to be told, regardless of its execution.
>>280032714Then she's not terrorist
>>280023208Gwoke or Gcucks? Anno isn't woke for being netouyo. Gcucks have scene sexualizing lolis(Machu and Nyaan are lolis) spite Ishiba's censorship(he will be kicked away from PM by being BTFO'd in senator vote tho)
>>279990720 (OP)there wasnt enough mecha combat and the few battles were bad. i liked machu and nyaan though and it should be yuri if they make a sequel
>>280032833>Machu and Nyaan are lolis>Nyaan
>>280032855Are they not actual lolis? Does Amuro like Hag tho?
>>280032833>Machu and Nyaan are lolisis this nigga retarded
>>280032869I don't get how you'd see a loli in this.
I'd maybe understand why you would think Machu is one because she's gremlin-sized, but she isn't really one either.
>Me when thinking about my Bae
Why do you even care whether "Japan likes it" or "MAL hates it" or whatever? You have eyes, ears and a brain. You can just watch the show yourself and form your own opinion. You don't seriously outsource your critical thinking to internet reviewers, do you?
>Suletta is in SRW Y
She deserves the Freedom or the Nu Gundam when SRW Y releases.

>>280032451>Yeah, you should always have a good reason for becoming a terrorist.Exactly.
>>280032666>Did she even kill anyone?>S/u/bhumans didn't watch the show
>>280032973>Nyaan (forma de DV)I have to admit the glasses were effective cover on me.
>>280033102She never kill anyone, the cops are still alive.
>>279990720 (OP)Relied too much on franchise familiarity for any of the plot to have any impact or meaning. Made it a fun show without much downtime but also makes the whole thing feel kinda pointless.
>>280033102The prostitute house?
>>280033175Didn't the guys just run away?
>>280032973what was the point of this character?
>>280032381>WfM is full of Tempest references>talk about Hamlet and nobody knows wtf you are talking about
>>280032973Is the settei available online?
>>280032666Zero confirmed kills but I'd find it unlikely for there to be zero deaths because of her. She even launched the GQuuuuuuuuuuuuX near some policemen.
She's also Shuji's Mav when he kills Shiiko so you can hardly call her innocent even if she didn't skewer Shiiko personally.
>>280033503Well, doesn't seem like he got injured from that.
I hope we get to see some more of that ZAkkkkkkkkU looking thing from the Char mech carnage montage it looked cool
>>280033175>>280033197She didn't start the fire anyway.
>>280033503She was kinda useless in that fight, and didn't know he was the murdering type of hobo. (But it wasn't a dealbreaker!)
>/a/ hate gqux but nips lov- ACK
>>280032424A lot of words to say nothing at all.
So if this show failed what should they do different next time, or should they just not make any more Gundam?
>>280034825Fooly Cooly season 5
eva rebuild 5.11 (2.385)
revivebuster
panty and stocking sequ-oh wait
>>280034825>should they just not make any more Gundam?We will have a new Gundam TV series next year, that much we know.
>>280033817You mean Sazabi? Yeah, same.
>>280034850I more meant what should Gundam do different next time, or should we just retire the franchise?
>>280034825They should do another Gundam in the Ad Stella (G-Witch) timeline. That hasn't been beaten to death yet and it's an interesting setting.
>>280034825Define failed.
I think The Beginning theater run alone might've made it into a financial success.
Next time they might want to stick to making movies.
>>280034947You are forgetting that Gundam anime dont have to do aswell as other anime to be successful. Gundam is first and foremost a toy ad and from what I can tell GQuuuuuuX did a better job at selling plastic than wtm
>>280034891I know. I ignored that though because of course they're gonna make another gundam and it'll be shit in comparison
you cant make a good gundam in the span of 12 episodes. Anime wont get better until ishiba and all of the major tv execs are put down like the filthy dogs they are
>>280035083>0080 existsUhhh...sure. Okay.
>>279990720 (OP)>What went terribly wrong?It has a retarded name. I got as far as the first instance of "gkooos" being said outloud and quit out of Netflix.
>>280035035I'm not forgetting that and it's only half-right (I don't think Hathaway was a toy heavy release, for example, and I don't expect it to change in the next two movies).
What I'm saying is that money is money and that GQuuuuuuX became a financial success even before the show started airing on TV.
>>280031532She's out of stock.
>>280035107Is this to show more users submitted their scores?
>>280034825>should they just not make any more Gundam?If by they you're referring to ex-Gainax staff, then yeah, keep them away from Gundam.
>>280035669The pic from OP shows the score of 7.17, now it's 7.13. It got worse.
>>280034711>>280035498isn't this pretty bad for nip standards?
>>280034711Now that's a noticeable drop. I thought it'd stay level through the end.
>>280034711Seen it for a long time but I've never actually bothered to learn what this percentages thing means
I just look at how others replied to it to get an idea
>>280035902>The only good part is when there's Char
>>280031761Obviously its primary purpose was fanservice but you can also chalk up the parallel moments to how the universe is still under the control of Lalah and bound to a certain causality. Machu was only able to change things due to the Quuuuuux(Amuro).
>>280035902>2 and 8 are the highest rated episodessays a lot
>>280035617When the movie sequel comes out they'll HAVE to have Duex come back. She's just too damn popular to have her be a one and done character this time.
>>280034731They're not going to give you a raise for shilling harder
>>280036373While the marketing and fans love her, I don't think the director/writer likes her very much (look up their opinions on Zeta or the Evangelion pilots). Shiiko seems to be the minor character everyone loved, even getting extra art from Take, and Shiiko is beyond doubt dead.

>>280034711Which episode is this?
>>280034825Gundam army vs kaijuu army. Then have the MC merge his/her kaijuu form with the Gundam. No, it won't be ripping off 00.
>>280035617>>280036468>Doo-chan's special merch is selling out everywhereHopefully Banrise takes note and upgrades her to standard release
>>280036437Speaking from experience, fampai?
That was a fitting response for a post that thrown a tantrum about a show not doing what poster wanted and capped it off with rather laughable G-Witch cope-arison.
>>280036468Yet Unlike Shiiko, Duex does have a way to have survived for a movie. The Psycho Gundam's head is an escape pod in Zeta. That can easily be transferred to GQ's Psycho Gundam in a flashback or something.
>>280036851We also have Nyaan escaping her explosive death in her Gundam.
>>280004126But they do know about Twilight. And they STILL talk about team Edward vs team Jacob. Some shit is just eternal, like Harry Potter, Pokemon, whatever.
>>280036851I think Enokido/Tsurumaki/Anno want her to remain dead. Weird tragic characters don't do well in Gainax works. The more miserable your life, the more likely you'll die. The people who get happy endings are usually the ones who are already well-adjusted and have okay lives (like Machu, relative to the other characters).
Deux comes back, but is literal brain in a jar and she can project herself like Shuuji newtype ghost, with her same clothes, because why not. Would you be satisfied?

>>280006800>>280007245Mississppi is richer then most of Europe and White Americans outperform every European. And of course, Europeans outcompete every other genetics on Earth. The USA is the only place that has right politics in power. While Europe is dying because wrong politics controls it.
Because we have good genes, we aren't stupid enough to take an unsourced picture that has no source on how literacy was measured, and whether every country was judged on the same standards.
>>280008765well one yurifags get hrt they become slightly retarded
>>280007612Its difficult to take this faggot's criticism very seriously. He insults Americans about "illiteracy" and yet, we have been on 4chan since 2008 and seen his ilk, along with the rest of the world get on the internet and degrade our language with your ESL behavior.
>>280035809>>280035718>>280035107Only midwits take MAL scores seriously.
>>280031136I am envious that the United States has better politicians then Europe quite frankly. We won't be able to get the politicians in Europe we want without violence. Only El Salvador is better.
>>280007482Its very easy to defend that, the Education department is a bullshit unnecessary organization that has done more damage regressing and holding Europeans back. Test scores were better without it. And its hard to take your faggot opinion because you ignore race like the coward you are.
Don't know anything about Gundam, but this thread is once again proving that Yuri is a cancer and ought to be purged from 4chan.

>>280035950It's the survey at the end of a episode's stream on Niconico. It's the usual 5 points scale except in reverse. As a rule of thumb, something isn't right if the percentage of 1 is below 85.
