Who cares, show was shit anyway.

So, did yuri win or nah?

>>280032259 (OP)
Who knows, Shuuji's actions don't even fully align with his own motives. For example, why did he guide Machu to the theatre to save Char? If Shuuji wants to ensure that Char doesn't kill Lalah and destroy two universes with her sheer trauma, why not just let Char get shot by Kycilia? Even if Lalah scraps the GQuacks universe should Char die, that will just accomplish the same thing Shuuji was trying to do by killing Lalah. Shuuji had no reason to show himself to Machu or guide her at all, if he just did nothing his own goal would de facto be fulfilled AND it would spare him one occasion of killing Lalah.

>discussion already fucking dead

This is the most forced hype show I have ever seen

so, lalah is the strongest newtype now?

>>280032794
gquux amuro doesn't exist

>>280033103
Shuji got her heart but Nyaan has her body.

Is Machu the least favorite protagonist?

>>280032259 (OP)
I assume that Shuji is a variant of Amuro in the Rose timeline, which would explain why he has the RX-78-2, doesn’t know Amuro, and is obsessed with Lalah. I think Shuji was once just a normal young man, but his personality changed because he was stuck in a loop until his mind broke. Also, they deliberately chose not to show Amuro in the cockpit during the scene where Sayla fought Char and Lalah

>>280033259
>kou

>>280033108
My favorite part was in the last episode when he finally realized he was in love with Lalah the whole time and then 30 seconds later fell in love with Machu for no reason.

>>280033108
I'm almost certain the show was rewritten in the middle. Shuji's initial goal of wanting to get to the rose makea no sense at all. It'd be in his best interest if no one gets there and it remains hidden in the sea forever.

They never addressed Nyaan's trauma and Machu isn't even aware of it.
She's a hair trigger away from just flipping a switch and unloading a full magazine into a random Feddie terrorist or Zeon rebel if they're ever threatened by one. Even in a non lethal match, she might up inadvertedly killing someone if she gets pushed enough.
She can be either Machu's housewife in the kitchen or uncontrolled killer guard dog.

>>280034519
Damn, I am sorry people from the...let me see here...mecha board like a Gundam show. That is very atypical of them.

People are afraid that if this is popular Gundam won't be a yuri franchise anymore...even though it was never a yuri franchise in its almost 50 years of existence. Like yuri people came into a well beloved and well established franchise and then got mad when it didn't continue to cater to them.

What if you guys actually tried to fit in with us and like watch some more mecha?

Should I just watch the series or watch the movie then skip episodes 1-3?

>>280034525
Because I enjoyed the show, and that's the only thing that matters to me.

It was like a 6/10 show. I am not sure what was so offensive about it other than it could have been better paced.

Maybe my biggest complaint is that they tried to do TOO MUCH and try to appease too many people and ended up doing just kinda almost nothing at all.

To those who think GQuuuuuuX isn't complete shit: How would you describe Shuuji's personality? What's the dynamic between the three main kids?

Why are you retards still talking about this show?

>>280034677
The early episodes were an unironic 9/10 for me. It just kept getting worse when they left and it started being about timelines.

>>280034921
Shuuji is very mellow. He reminds me of Four Murasame or the OG Challia Bull a lot, just a very mysterious short lived Newtype character.

It is a love triangle between a genki girl, a mysterious boy, and quiet girl trying to find her place. Gundam has a few shit Newtype love triangles. idkIt isn't really trying to be Anna Karenina or some shit.

>>280034984
Because I like this thing called Mobile Suit Gundam. Have you watched it? It's great. I could spend the rest of my life talking about Char Aznable and never get bored.

If your RX-78-2 lasts more than four hours, call a doctor.

Gwitch threads were never this slow

>>280034921
I like the show but I don't like Shuji, so I can't help you, anon.

>>280034921
>How would you describe Shuuji's personality?
Laid back like a stoner.

>What's the dynamic between the three main kids?
They hung out for 30 minutes and both of the girls decided that they'll devote their entire lives to Shuji.

>Shuji on 10th place
>Nyan on 3rd place
>Machu on 2nd place
Shuji....

>>280034614
The movie kinda spoils what happens to Char, as the progression of the story in the series is different. Watch the series first, maybe you'll enjoy it more.
>>280035169
An anime that progressively gets worse deserves as much.

If you were old enough to understand the OH MY GOD I RECOGNIZE THAT scenes in Gunbuster and Evangelion you would feel the same about those as you do GQuuuuuuX.

You still talking about the most forgettable show of the season?

>>280035607
Zatsu Tabi? No.

Stop bumping this shit. Nobody cares anymore

>>280035411
He was a character with agency for like 5 minutes in the last episode and then turned back into Machu's manic pixie boy anyway so he doesn't deserve any more.

Machu can go to any Gundam universe with GQ and stop the death of your favorite character.

>scene about Gihren's artificial newtypes accidentally left in on the Amazon broadcast but cut from the television one
>those artificial newtypes in fact never do show up

For me, that's the biggest indicator that GQuuuuuux had an extremely messy and/or rushed production. This was a plot element they wanted, had scenes for, but had to cut, and indeed did cut in the TV release. One cour was not enough. Two cours might not have been enough.

>>280036405
The previous thread already died though

>>280036131
He uploads first on his site, text only, and it came out a day after or so. Check the archives for kowakunotsubo. There's a lot of condescending comments from japs.

Was that not just meant to be a reference to Cyber-Newtypes?

Whatever man. You can either argue that we just don't get it and are too dumb/speedwatching for not reading into every blink-and-you'll-miss-it background detail or line or that every innocuous line is in fact actually inconsequential and just thrown in because not everything everyone says needs to mean something and that we're dumb for reading too much into a middle-schooler's anime.

>>280037051
Then why did they even have it, and why was it later cut in the broadcast release?

>>280036863
I will forever be salty they shafted Nyaan. She had an entire character arc going about distrusting people yet still yearning for connection and being too preoccupied about survival but then they just sweep it under a rug when Machu asks her for Mavs

>>280037127
As much as people meme about the Bright Slap, even he realized that beating the shit out of teenagers is not actually good for their mental stability

>>280037264
it could also simply be a reference to puru and glemy and was cut from broadcast because they can't otherwise squeeze the episode into the timeslot.

>>280037344
You are wrong. It is.

>>280035169
GWitch had the whole /u/ board in them. Being the only real yuri show probably helped it too

>>280037242
Tsurumaki loves to have dialogue and details that seem important lead nowhere, and offhanded dialogue and inconsequential details that turn out to be massively important several episodes later. Compounding this is that he sets a breakneck pace and will throw in plenty of actual bullshit lines, cameos, allusions, and symbolism to obscure the important stuff. It's one of the reasons I don't like him that much. It worked for FLCL, but doesn't work for anything more realistic or serious.

>>280034579
kinda fucked up they have her commit mass murder and then NEVER ADDRESS IT AGAIN

Nobody has given me a date for the Director talk show, yet

>>280037429
At least they should've made it clear that she didn't know that the cannon killed thousands because she was inside it and couldn't see what was going on besides having a weird kirakira feeling. They clearly didn't intend for her to take the blame for it over Kycillia.

>>280037242
I'll argue both because you're fucking retarded and every opinion you crank out from that half a neuron you have is laughably wrong. You'd think after getting bitch slapped by the show itself on one of your dumb takes you'd give up on trying to be clever but you just never accept that you're too dumb to for this.

>>280037264
Was it even cut? I haven't checked myself and I trust nothing said in these threads for obvious reasons

Shuu-Chan.......

>>280037553
I've seen some japanese tweets saying that it was missing in the TV version too but I didn't watch it on japanese TV so I don't know.

>>280037429
They had like a brainwashed 10-year-old child soldier killed off and then tried to sidestep it. They never showed the impact Shiiko's death had on her family, either. GQUX doesn't aim to be a heavy anime, and sidesteps that shit where it can. A lot of the fucked up stuff ends up being window dressing that isn't explored or elaborated upon all that much.

>>280037429
>NEVER ADDRESS IT AGAIN

So when Nyaan abused the Haro in episode 5, did Amuro give her access to the psycommu because he didn't want his creation to get hurt any more than that?

>>280037242
The show is a masterpiece if you actually pay attention. It's clearly signposted what is important and what's not. Rewatching it again and I am having a blast. You literally are just a midwit retard.

>>280037633
Fucking speedwatcher.
>They had like a brainwashed 10-year-old child soldier killed off and then tried to sidestep it.
Not important. We don't care if she was a kid. Nobody in the show cares either. She was just there to show that even the very young become disposable tools of war. That nobody, not even the director cares is showing that universe doesn't care either. Children as young as 7 are commonly used for war in UC, and nobody has a problem with it.
> They never showed the impact Shiiko's death had on her family, either.
Not important. You can intuit it on your own if you're not an amoeba.
>A lot of the fucked up stuff ends up being window dressing that isn't explored or elaborated upon all that much.
Fucking figure it out on your own. The show doesn't need to show you every single obvious detail. It is not going to do your homework for you.

His dad appears.

I don't entirely understand why people bitch about Shuji's lack of character. Lack of character is character too, when you take into account all the bullshit he went through. I don't even like Shuji, and it's for the same reason I don't like Rei, but not that I hate both of them, I just don't like both of them for exactly same reasons. Both are indifferent characters with stupid amount of lore behind them used as plot devices. It's not a criticism of Rei or anything, just literally an observation. Misato best girl.

>>280037344
Sounds like your daddy didn't slap you enough.

>>280037838
Bait needs to be believable.

>>280037838
>Tsurumaki is one of the greatest directors in the industry.
Let's be serious now for a second.

>>280032923
Based Sankaku Atama sensei knows the true ending we need

>>280037888
Misato doesn't think of Rei as indifferent so why do you?

>>280037888
What bullshit has Shuji gone through? Not counting bullshit like Gundam growing in size for no reason.

>>280037892
Genuinely believing that something is good, like really good, is now considered bait. Sorry, I didn't douse it under 50 liters of post-hipster "irony" and act like a 9 or 10 was just a 6/10 like every other coward on this website. People are so afraid of expressing their likes nowadays, but love to gripe about what they hate.

>>280037964
Multiple collapsed universes because he had to kill Lalah multiple times.

>Shuuji had more libido than plenty of Gundam autists
Biggest plot twist

>>280037997
It's gone far beyond that, there is now an active attack on what is to be considered good. It's a culture war from tourists who hate anime. That's why the twin prongs of the thrust are anti-intellectualism and inversion of the original values of the subculture. Gqux is a major target because it is fully dyed in otaku conventions including its progressive political stance, a model example of what the tourists hate and want to erase. They really do want to turn /a/ into a right wing echo chamber that hates anime.

>>280038123
I genuinely believe this happened only because of what Tomino said about Your Name. Anno and Tsurumaki simply don't realize they still disappointed him because they weren't having sex.

>>280038123
If only Machu realized how to fix him sooner

>>280037344
It is good for them as proof look at all the spanking art of Machu

>>280038420
You have to take the hint about the non-romantic nature of her feelings for him at some point

>>280038076
How? I haven't seen him being negatively affected by it at all. I knew how the timeloop broke Homura because there's an entire episode dedicated to it. I haven't seen anything remotely compelling with Shuji in GQuX.

>>280038633
If only there was an episode where he acted as an angel of death for an older woman and it weirded Machu out or something...

>>280038394
What made the randy bastard turn on Nyaan and chuck her out of his cockpit in episode 7? That she didn't stay that way?

>>280038633
How did meduka tell a complete story and ended all loose end nicely?? Its impossible according to all the gcuckfags..

Doo-chan is recuperating at the moment. Please help support her recovery by buying lots of merchandise!

>>280038123
Maybe I was exaggerating a little, but he's leagues above the usual slop that's being put out. You can tell when an anime is his. It's got soul and style. Most anime, you could never tell who was directing it because it's so derivative.

>>280038850
Madoka's cast was smaller than this, and didn't waste 1 and a half episode on a prologue, nor did it have to feature guests characters for nostalgia.

>>280039315
Gundam's setting is more complex though.

>>280038633
Not the guy you replied to, but the show beats you over the head with the idea that Shuji never does anything for himself, food and speech included. We never see him do something that isn't for Machu or Nyaan's sake, and by the end we learn that he chained himself into a life of being a time janny just because he couldn't bear to see Lalah hurt. He is deeply altruistic, yet misguided
Machu is his direct opposite in every way, someone who pursues her own desires (shuji included) to a fault because she hates being chained to a regular life. It has to be her that convinces Shuji to set Lalah free and himself from his autistic self imposed burden, which of course ends with her having to let Shuji go too
Whether this was as compelling as someone like Homura's backstory is subjective (it's not for me), but that doesn't mean there wasn't anything here. Frankly all this is incredibly obvious with just a little bit of attention when watching

>>280039057
will she get in trouble for failing her mission

>>280039445
This is great analysis. It made a lot of vague thoughts I had completely click into place, and also explains the purpose behind Machu and Shuji's reversed color designs, which I find very interesting. Thanks, anon.

>>280039445
Holy shit, an intelligent poster in one of these threads.

The only reason why people defend this is because they hyped it as a show much better than IBO and Gwitch just for it to blown in their faces. They are too proud and cowardly to admit they were wrong

>>280039773
Stuff with Char > Stuff without Char

Like I really don't think you understand how much people love this insane rat bastard.

>>280039773
GQuuuuuux isn't good, but it's entertaining, unlike the other two. It had an appealing style, and many good ideas, even if it had too many and not enough time to develop any of them.

>>280039773
You know when all their defense amount to headcanon to fill the gaping holes in the show.

>>280039445
I didn't see this and it makes sense, but I'm still missing the personal aspect to it. We never see him actually suffering to even form an emotional connection to it. He just implies he has been suffering all the loops but he never gives the audience a reason to empathize with it. It just ends up being the a weird version of "show don't tell", where they neither show nor tell you and just give you the barest information about it without anything you can form a connection with.

It's the same reason so many people wanted to see the kids actually bonding. We are told they've been friends for a month but it means nothing if you can't form an emotional connection by seeing them bond.

>>280039773
I honestly lost interest when it was revealed to be Universal Century wank. I genuinely ended up liking it more as it went along.

>>280039838
>show don't tell
In this case it's just "imply, don't show nor tell".

>>280039838
That is why a lot of people are saying it is a 6/10 show. It tried to do too much with what little time it had. It bit off more than it can chew and kinda choked a bit. It didn't choke to death mind you, there are really brilliant ideas and stuff here, but the show bit off so much that it could use the Heimlich maneuver for sure.

>>280039929
I do wonder if the rumored sequel movie could help with a lot of the issues people have (especially if it focused on Shuji and whatever the fuck happened with Amuro), or even compilation films with extra scenes. I feel like Gqux gets close to excellence at times and I really enjoyed it, but it does need a few more moments depicting the relationships and character of the main trio to really shine.

>>280039838
>We are told they've been friends for a month but it means nothing if you can't form an emotional connection by seeing them bond
no offense to nyaanfags but this is why I think removing her would've served the show better, even if she ended up being a stronger character than Shuji. If the climax and backbone of this story relied on Shuji and Machu's battle, it would've been a lot better to see more of these two+ a bit of shuji to make their final scenes hit harder

>>280040077
The love triangle stuff was fine. The Man in High Castle type Zeon victory AU is fine. The clan battle stuff was fine. The House of M Lalah Sune shit was fucking awful and too much.

>>280039838
Yeah, same shit with Machu and Nyaan's friendship, the Pomeranians, or Doo (pitybait or just one and done enemy). There are a few things that it sets up extremely well in record time, like Nyaan and Kycilia's relationship (one of the best in the show up until Nyaan shot her, but that's more the fault of her relationship with Machu), Char and Chalia (up until the final episode's weirdness), and Shiiko.

>>280040077
Nyaan had much much more development and thematic relevance to Machu than anyone else. Every single appearance of hers is juxtaposed to Machu's life and how she's experiencing the exact opposite. It was one of the strongest and most compelling themes of the show and they just handwaved it away without having Machu face that fact.
Removing her would make Machu much more boring as a character. The show would've been completely capable of having two final conflicts for Machu, one vs Nyaan and one vs Shuuji. The real problem is the fucking UC memberberries taking up all the screentime.

>>280039452
If they survived? imo Gates would be more likely to be punished since he was Deux's handler and made the mistake of not calling off the mission when she became visibly compromised. Worst onii-chan of the season.

>>280040248
>the real problem is the fucking UC memberberries taking up all the screentime
So how do you set something in UC without it being memberberies? Nobody can answer this and people just want to quote South Park.

>>280040248
The same could be said even more so about Doo and Machu, and the two never even meet.

>>280039838
If I had to elaborate this more. Imagine Madoka Magica but WITHOUT episode 10 and Homura just offhandedly mentions she's been looping in dialogue. It'd be completely out of left field and no one would care about her.

>>280040319
Doo didn't nearly have the thematic weight that Nyaan did. I'm not kidding when I mean every single solo scene Nyaan had was a parallel for Machu, up to episode 10.

>>280040248
Maybe unpopular opinion but Nyaan is worse character than Machu imo. Sure Machu is a brat and barely does anything heroic but at least her character feels tangible and I can understand what she is supposed to be. Nyaan is inconsistent, has no reason for falling for Shuuji or killing for Zeon and only Kycilia cares about her

>>280040298
Memeberries aren't an issue on their own. They only become an issue if they're just there to cameo but are too distracting/interesting (e.g. Titans, Sayla), or end up absorbing too much plot attention.

>>280036643
Tell me about scirocco, why does he style his hair like that?

>>280040298
Just have it be in the background setting.
They didn't need an actual blackhole cannon and Kycillia actually being there and Gihren actually being there and Char actually just reenacting 0079.

>>280033402
This is pretty sensible honestly. Challia is the only character that's actually relevant the entire time in this show.

>>280039838
Everything feels like it always comes back to Gquuuuuux was a 12 episode show that felt like the writers were acting like its 24

>>280040375
I like both of them and Nyaan's problem is none of her setups are seen through the end. She'd be an amazing character if they actually finished any of her character arcs but as things are she just kind of flips flops around and again with implications to how she feels.

>>280040298
Realistically this show should have wiped Machu, Nyaan and Shuji from existence and just hard focused on it being Alternate UC. That was a lot more interesting than whatever the fuck was going on with the main trio. I'm actually pissed Khara wasted this setting. Fuck Tsurumaki and fuck Anno

>>280040491
No U, Machu is the best thing of this show by far.

>>280040491
Giga shit taste

They 'Japan' likes it is funny because it just tell me even americans have more standars since they didn't clapped like seals at the Rise of Skywalker

>>280040491
Maybe 10% of the people who watched GQux would have watched that show.

>>280040603
Your English sucks ass.

>>280040319
>>280040360
I think Doo would have been an excellent contrast to both Machu and Nyaan, and helped reinforced the themes of Newtypes being enslaved to war. Machu and Nyaan technically have freedom, even if both of them suborn their agency and go along with the flow up until the very end. If Doo is like some of the other cybernewtypes, she literally can't disobey outside of maybe the kira-kira. It would have been nice to have a Feddie rep as well. I really did not like how the classical characters ended up taking up most of the story attention towards the end. Zeta never had this problem (in fact, it had the opposite problem, where Char and Amuro should have actually hogged more of the spotlight).

>>280032259 (OP)
Shuji was literally a plot device.
What even was his personality when all is said and done?

>>280040491
We get it. You just want more military dudes being military dudes and following orders to kill other military dudes like military dudes should.

It's time to stop discussing this.

>>280040603
Japan does not like this show.

People like Doo and the mom because of their character designs, the same reason why nips like the Sword and Shield gym leaders even if they are nothing burgers and both were designed by Take

>>280040670
That's exactly what I want.

>>280040697
What shows does Japan like?

>>280040697
This is the 5th time you've said this, anon.

>>280035645

>>280040707
Major part of it, but I think they both had interesting personalities. I really did want to see Deux explored more since she's so offbeat and makes so many interesting references, but she get any elaboration like Shiiko.

>>280040759
Please stop liking what I don't like. Pretty please.

>>280040717
Imagine a Top Gun inspired Gundam but good..

>>280040707
People like Doo because she's misery bait and they feel bad for her, especially when her role ended up just being forgettable enemy nobody gives a shit about. People like Shiiko because MILF MOMMY GIVE ME MOMMY.

>>280040717
gay

>>280040781
I still want them imported into UC proper

>>280040826
People like Deux because Gundam otaku love the Titans.

>>280032885

>>280040781
>>280040707
I liked Deux because of the freckles and bushy lashes.

>>280040603
Okay tourist

>>280040697
Leave any time, tourist. Of course, you can't, you have an agenda to ruin discussion of this show. You're captive to mental illness and will be compelled to shitpost forever.

>>280040875
I actually kek'd
I want to call this show Jkwaks now.

The thing im worried and sad about now is that if Nyaan and Machu are in things now they will only show up as side characters and only be focused on war and fighting

>>280040826
Shiiko had the potential for exploring some kind of mom-NTR with Machu. Then she was batshit insane.

>>280040890
Cringe

>>280040920
I want a SoL spinoff with occasional comedic adventures.

Reminder that my Gundam OTP sucks balls.

>>280041022
This shit had one job...

>>280040707
They do look superb in vidya format. Don't you just want to hug the Doo?

So, if they eventually reunite with Shuji and live together, how should Nyaan position herself? Just sit there and watch them cuddling and making out?

>>280041003
This is the ideal goal I dont think it would be an anime but maybe a manga or a game with visual novel cutscenes

>>280041189
Threesome

>>280041138

>>280041138

>Actual comments in Japanese social media are overflowing with positivity about the show
>"But the easily manipulable scores say they hated it"
Ok, filtered Westerner.

>>280041220
Girls stop growing at like 15. Adult Machu would still be a tiny ball of angry, just chubbier.

>>280041261
they also always act 15 until they have kids

>>280041189
They unironically need to kill Nyaan. If almost getting squashed didn't stop her from wanting Shudick, that means she'll keep chasing him no matter what

>>280039826

Same here. At the least Khara were honest with caring little for the alternate UC they invented. Can't say the same with the respective production teams of IBO and WfM.

I agree with the criticisms of how gqux treated nyaan but I think deux is almost a better example of the show's contradictions. it pretends to be a critical reexamination of gundam only to include a stock-standard Crazy Teenage Girl who needs to be put down like a dog.

>>280041331
Based on what? You keep dick sucking Khara after they proved they how much hacks they are.

Actually, you guys deserve this, a terrible show fitting for a terrible fandom

>GQux Amuro is going to happy until GQux Char and Lalah decide to bring him into a threesome
Please let the man sell his Haros in peace.

>>280033259
She's better than Banana, Kio, Kira, Build Fighter Try fag or the schizo dyke.

>>280041331
There's nothing honest from Khara. They said GQux would be a cold war gundam but what we got is non-stop UC and EVA wanks. It's a glorified doujin video.

>>280041421
>it pretends to be a critical reexamination of gundam

>>280041189
"Maybe this world was created for us to have threesomes..."

>>280041249
GQuacks is a show that is designed by and for Japanese. I figured that westerners would hate it. Machu in particular is an excellent reflection of the Japanese youth.

APOLOGIZE

In the end, which was the best fight?

>>280041421
>critical reexamination
It's a renewal of vows, a marriage of old and new

>>280041560
The Japanese don't like it either.
>>280034473

>>280041564
I honest to God never finished it.

>>280041464
I am about to do something wicked amuro.

>>280041505
The Gundam said I dont need to pull out

>>280041479

>what we got is non-stop UC and EVA wanks. It's a glorified doujin video.

That's what I meant with their honesty. Disappointing but if they got to do what they want with (seemingly from what I can tell) interference from Bandai Namco executives, that's still honesty.

That's a stark contrast to how IBO became what it is because both Tatsuyuki Nagai and Mari Okada clashed over treating Tekkadan like heroes and how the production team of WfM thought they could balance out Quiet Zero, the Earthian-Spacian divide as commentary over real life rich nations exploiting real life poorer nations, and Suletta X Miorine.

>>280041582
I don't get this, because Nyaan is clearly trying to kill him.

Rick and Morty is a show that is designed by and for Americans. I figured that westerners would hate it. Morty in particular is an excellent reflection of the American youth.

why is half of these threads "ehm apologize to gwitch nao!" and other /v/igger tier bait

>>280041189
Nyaan can live with them as their roommate friend. People nowadays do that to cover expenses, No need to be a drama queen

>>280039773
People defend because it's UC and has Char.
If it had to stand on it's own it would be forgotten a week after it finished airing.

>>280041618
I don't think Nyaan thinks. She just straight up goes all out when she's in a fighting situation. She shot Gqux too despite it being potentially piloted by Machu.

>>280041642
You want to apologize to IBO instead?

>>280041642
Because G-Witch is the only Gundam show they know.

>>280041657
Imagine being mad about more Char Aznable. Just say you don't like Gundam and then fuck off out of a Gundam thread.

>>280041687
Shame its leak was fake.

>>280041616
GQuacks is literal inspired by The Man in the High Castle,a boom about what if they Axis won WW2,just by being an alternate story about a real event, a real war, it makes the book political. Gundam is a political show about war and this show could have explored the effects of Zeon winning the war, instead we got memes and porn.

>>280041582
The city fight with Duex, which I would argue was the one and only good episode in the whole damn thing. That and the brothel.

>>280041650
Yeah, a roommate who wants to fuck your partner constantly, good luck with that.

>>280041717
>GCuck faggot cannot read
Sad!

>>280041582
Machu's first clanbat. The way the newtype powers are visualized, the music, the clever conclusion, all of it were great. Shiiko's fight was really good too.

>>280041618
In order for the three of them to live happy they need to fight for real

>>280041773
I honestly can't read. No joke. Like 70% of this thread is in ESL broken English and just reading it is making my head hurt, I am really sorry. What am I supposed to be mad about?

>>280041737
>Gundam is a political show about war and this show could have explored the effects of Zeon winning the war
It did but because it didn't spend 10 episodes saying the same things over and over, stupid people think it's only memes and porn. Gqux is a true pleb filter.

>>280041750
The two of them shared a kira-kira and became MAVs by the end. They'd probably be open to a three-way relationship.

I don't know what you're mad about. I'm not mad about Char being there, I'm saying Char being in this show is the only thing that made it watchable.
Machu's storyline is forgettable as fuck.

>>280039773
I was wrong, I apologize.
Gwitch > 00 > IBO > Gquux

>>280041616
I think we have a total disconnect on the definition of honesty.
I can excuse GWitch because it was made by people who honestly tried to tell a story but failed due to incompetence and executive meddling.
I cannot excuse GQuX because it appears to me Khara never intended to honestly tell a story. No, their first and foremost priority is to jam as much references into the show as possible, storytelling be damned.

>>280041861
I haven't seen this one either. I kinda mostly ignore AUs.

>>280041847
If you have to squint and do a significant amount of mental legwork as a watcher to get any satisfaction or meaning, then maybe the problem isn't the audience, but the director or production's fault. There is such a thing as being too subtle with messaging.

The next Gundam series should star an even more bratty JK

>>280041861
I am way more excited about the spinoff than I am for the main series.

>>280041847
You literally said they show was '''honest''' because it didn't pretend to be more than fanwank. A show that is an AU of a political show, inspired by a political book doesn't get to be "just fanwank". You are dumber than Marvel fans

>>28004200
Nobody is calling this shit subtle. There is nothing subtle about kaiju sized grandpa

>>280041922
mental legwork is fun and stimulating. There's no sin in making a story that gives your audience a chance to do some mental legwork instead of dumbing it down for the lowest common denominator to keep up nor is there a sin in members of the audience wanting more stories that provide them with some mental legwork,

Refute me, why a show based on political media just gets to be fanwank?

>>280041968
The shittier Gundam gets, the better Tomino looks. This was all part of Anno's masterplan

>>280042050
I liked thinking and overthinking what they meant in the show.
What I didn't like that they didn't give me any satisfactory conclusion for it. I'm pretty sure all of us thought the final conclusion for Machu could be much deeper than it turned out to be.

>>280042032
Its a rough combination of people being able to engage with stuff less and less because they don't have to and being hit with lots of vague shows where the answer could be anything so it makes it less fun to think about

Okay but why did the gundam become so big

>>280042133
Zoomers actually re discover old shows like Utena, Twin Peaks, Eva, etc. This shit is only made for middle aged losers in arrested development

>>280042000
It's not subtle, it's just dumb. You're the one here arguing that Machu and Nyaan's relationship has a satisfying arc, or that Sayla becoming regent off-screen is fine. You accuse us of being speedwatchers, but this anime is like speedwatching a normal Gundam. They can say that Shuji, Machu, and Nyaan have a deep relationshi p all they want, but never actually sell it well because there's just no runtime.

>>280042087
He keeps on arguing that this little thing in the background of a shot or offhand comments are important to foreshadow plot points (while arguing other lines, like Gihren's artificial newtypes are just there to symbolize us being idiots) and that we're all dumb for not picking it up because it's soooo obvious.

So what is this fabled subtle message about war in Gqux? Other than Zeon winning OYW doesn't benefit the average spacenoids which is said explicitly in the first episode?

>>280042174
DitF had narration explaining the entire concept of the birds flying together symbolism that defines the relationships in the very first episode. Gqux is unsubtle but DitF was fucking ridiculous lol

>>280037344
The funniest thing about the Bright Slap is that it never actually worked at any point. All the Bright Slap did was make situations worse, and when Bright himself was beaten up at the start of Zeta, he defected to the AEUG.

>>280042229
Gqux isn't about this, it's about stifling modern life. The post-ww2 moral ideology that 0079 is based on doesn't ring true or make sense to just spout as a matter of fact thing outside of the context of a show made in the late 70s

>>280042223
It really did break you that I was 100% correct about Challia and Deux and they even confirmed it in the last episode lol
You will never understand the pure joy Gqux has brought to me by exposing every single one of you dumb shitposting tourists

Which youtuber you got this from??

>>280041894
>>280041968

>>280041894

At this point, I agree to disagree with your opinion. When I meant by honesty, I meant Khara not going any further about the Earth Federation, not elaborating on what Shuji is, nor the Yuzurihas still have their somewhat fancy apartment despite what Amate/Machu did all to keep to 12 episodes.

If they only devised the story to slap in what THEY liked about Gundam, that was fine by me. I just couldn't excuse WfM because it was treated as a way to appeal to teenage Japanese audiences (WfM aired on Sundays afternoons whereas GQuuuuuX aired a little past 2330 on Tuesday evenings to put this into perspective).

>>280042211
People keep accusing Zoomers of being unable to follow along, but GQX is way more Zoomer paced than those older shows. Boomer shows like Eva or Twin Peaks are very willing to have long shots where nothing much happens to build up tension or atmosphere. They will linger on moments when they feel is necessary. The rapid fire, info dense, adhd pacing is more a symptom of modern media, not boomer media.

did you meant to reply to someone else? i didn't argue any of that, just that Gquuuuux is extremely surface level

>>280042324
I don't think honesty is the word you are looking for. I understand what you are trying to say, but that for sure isn't the right word for it.

Do you mean sincerity?

Maybe those are the same thing in your language, but not necessarily in English.

>>280042328
Gqux has an episode that starts with a long sequence showing the forge of military industrialism heating up before two dudes stuck in traffic talk about how hard it is to keep ammo stocked using clanbat winnings and how their next match should be perfect for updating their resume as mercenaries, all of this to build tension throughout the episode leading to Nyaan's catharsis. They're perfectly willing to use those techniques.

>>280037838
Agree 100%. The best thing about GQX is that it's exposed /a/ for the retards they are.

Too many whiny bitches itt

>Aldonah Zero
The one thing I remember about this show is that the mc was so unbelievably bland, so devoid of personality that I was convinced for most of my viewing that is was some kind of plot device that was gonna come into play at some point. He was a clone, he was missing a chuck of his brain, he has no soul or half a soul, something. As it turned out that was not the case and the mc was just that fucking bland of a character, makes Machu and Nyaan look like Hamlet.
And apparently people cared cared enough to ask google about his blandness.

>>280042395
>You mean >>280041847 is a lie and there's no attempt by Gqux to explore the effects of Zeon winning OYW.
There's plenty of exploration if you actually paid attention. I know it's too much to ask for an imbecile like you, but read between the lines. It's not in focus like Machu struggling against modern life, but it's there. See the OYW veterans, or Deux and Gates, who need to be eliminated so that a new generation can liberate themselves from the weight of the past.

>>280042446

Care to explain why disliking this show make us turists? And turists of what? Gundam? /a/? Anime? Khara?

How would you fix Gquuuuuux /a/?

I would fix the dumbass audience. Maybe by raising school standards or eugenics or something.

Wow. Fucking rude. I don't talk about your husbandou that way, do I?

>>280042501
Remove Machu and Nyaan, make BVLL and Xaver the protags.

>>280042501
make it about Challia, remove the newtype interdimensional bullshit.

>>280042501
Make Shuuji a working class (but citizen) from Izuma who talks openly and has opinions about things, a middle ground between Nyaan and Machu.
Have Machu immediately apologize to Nyaan at the shrine and not get separated during the battle, they face the events of the second half together while trying to support each other in their flawed relationship.
Gqux Char is on the brink and gets swayed by Shuuji so that the first phase of the final battle is Char and Shuuji vs Machu and Nyaan, the phase breaks up with Char/Machu and Nyaan/Shuuji kira kira conversations. Char drops out and becomes good after gravity philosophy correction, Nyaan clarifies her feelings but fails to change Shuuji so the 2v1 is necessary to let Machu break through for a kira kira with Shuuji. No giant gundam, Nyaan and Machu tag team right to the end and Nyaan sets Machu up for the final strike.

>>280042698
>Char grooming a couple of autistic girls.

The Kikeroga was the star of the show imo. It’s movements are so fluid and fun to watch in motion.

>>280042747
Duex is a boy tho

Why did machu say that char smells similar to shuuji? Shuuji is from a another universe and this char is not, what's the implication.

>>280042707
I think Machu and Nyaan being split up is a good plot point. But it'd need to be more clear that Nyaan is abandoning both of them for survival because she has an unprocessed traumatic event looming over her when she sees the colony being bombed again. She basically did the same with her parents when she escaped so it'd be a good detail to her character. She'd be regretting it immediately after but her survival instinct is stronger.

>>280042501
>clan battle
>zeon civil war
>multiverse shenanigans

>>280042698
I did mean Shuji as you expected I dont know what happened. Honestly having an older man do with high school girls does work too in stories so I would also be ok with that as he guides them through his plans while debating their worth to him.

>>280042223
>but this anime is like speedwatching a normal Gundam.
Real. The frustrating part about it is that it's actually a pretty good and interesting AU, but we don't really get to see much of the world. At the start I was worried they were gonna spend half the runtime on pointless ClanBat shit but now I'm kinda wishing it DID have some filler.
I think it reminds me of the last third of Escaflowne too much, where it suddenly wants to get surreal and unpredictable but there's so much it leaves on the table that it ends up feeling like an asspull. You've got this here too - Char's plan (and the details of the original Zeknova), Shuji's plan, the will of the original Lalah, this universe's Lalah, Sayla in general, the dynamic between the three protags, the ClanBat gang, the tensions between Gihren and Kycilia, the weird divergence where apparently "main" UC is the only one where Lalah dies instead of Char, Amuro's complete absence, the Feds apparently still running the Cyber-Newtype labs, the entire thing with "Diablos" and "Alphaciders", the bizarre nature of GQuuuuuuX/Endymion, I could go on. You'd need two cours at minimum to even come close to covering it.

>>280042763
I thought that was a guy

>>280042824
Do you people even watch the shows you discuss on /a/

>>280042805
Challia and Machu seemed to also have been a fan favourite dynamic even though they have a handful of lines with each other. It's just entertaining to think about a chaotic positive wildcard like Machu interacting with older and jaded characters.

>>280042784
>think Machu and Nyaan being split up is a good plot point.
I don't think it's a bad type of story beat but I think it's overdone and it'd fit the message better to let Machu and Nyaan have a messy relationship trying to support each other against all the bullshit. Instead of the ED being an epilogue, it's the point of the story itself.

I don't think they needed to make Nyaan's position more clear. People are just really unable to empathize with the traumatized and refugees and can't understand her obvious characterization.

It's funny to me how Gundam usually goes Space>Earth>Space and GQ's "Earth" arc is half of an episode where Machu hangs outt in a brothel.

>>280042910
>underside of the thigh from lifted leg in loose shorts

>>280042923
It seems ep 9 was supposed to be a visit to Sayla to foreshadow the ending.

>>280042996
That was a very early draft that got scrapped

>>280042910
Also it seems like a lot of fujo Challiachar shippers have accepted Machu as their chaotic adoptive daughter.

>>280042174
True subtle Anime are like Gridman and Dynazenon. People still don't know if the leads are dating or not

>>280042807
Gquuuuuux has some great ideas and characters, but ends up squandering them. The general format is that GQu^6X introduces the audience to something or someone that is really cool, talks about it a little but nowhere near enough, then moves on to the next cool thing, repeat. That's what makes it so much more frustrating than something like WfM. We want more than just a series of awesome plot and character prompts.

>>280042501
Make Shuuji the protagonist. You can even include the UC characters

>>280042781
The implication is that both are HOT. Not but really i don't know. Maybe because they spent time together?

>>280043097
there is something there about women not feeling worried about younger girls with that kind of stuff

>>280042910
>chaotic positive wildcard like Machu interacting with older and jaded characters.
I think that’s the key component that made Machu an entertaining protag. By the end of the series you have like 4 different keikaku’s happening and all were messed up by this belligerent gremlin.

>>280042781
Machu notices that Challia's statement about his similarity to Char means Char is empty, Machu then notes a similarity between Char and Shuuji. Nyaan dislikes Char's scent.

It was another confirmation about Shuuji being a dangerous edgelord

>>280043311
No it was a nod to both of them spent time inside Red Gundam.

>>280035804
I mean why not? If you still don't like it then stop watching again, if you do keep going, it's that simple.

Every thread I find into after the series ended is the same conversation. Are you all samefagging the same talking points? genuine question

>>280037410
He might love to have those details, but he certainly didn't deliver on them in GQuacks, and definitely not in satisfying ways for the occasions that did get a follow-up.

I would've never guessed that chalia bull was a literal nobody in the OC timeline

>>280042781
The only possible explanation i can think of is that Shuuji is Char in an alternative universe. I think that detail of smelling similar is even use for that

>>280043475
I understand English isn't your first language, but can you elaborate? What topics are people repeating? What would you like to talk about instead?

>>280043371
It is definitely about drawing out all sorts of parallels in their personalities. Machu sees them with the same shoujo filter.

ITS ON SPOTIFY
I REPEAT
ITS ON SPOTIFY

If there's a sequel, what are the chances Bask and the Federation are the badguys? It seems like the Psycho Gundam was built with artifacts from the otherside like the other Gundams (explains why it's so much more advanced than anything else around it), and we never got an explanation for why Doo could do the kira-kira (Gates thought she was a babbling insane person when she was talking abotu it). The Federation have also been conspicuously absent outside of episode 06 and 07.

>>280043523
I make one typo and suddenly I'm ESL? Kek. sounds like an ESL with a complex.

Well we can talk about how hot chalia is? However, every thread I look at is a revolving door of the same points for the most part
'fixing the ending'
Duex is a X
Etc
It just always feels like I'm walking into the same thread despite it being (hopefully) different opinions and people. By samefagging I don't mean those talking point to a T but it's both the typing style and exact same things changed each time. Surely you notice this as well?

>>280043704
All major plot points are already wrapped up to varying degrees of success, A S2 would probably be a new cast and plot just set in the universe

This show really needed like 25 eps desu with my main issue being we just didnt get enough of the characters to care (Machu vs Nyann is my main example, was supposed to be a big moment but kinda just didn't work because they never really seemed to connect with each other)

I think a more realistic option we might get would be like a short manga series based around the Clan Battles that we didn't see as well as the time spent between the characters during that time to make the friends feel like actual friends, could also throw in some other background politics such as expand on the Titans with their plans and preparation regarding Deux and the Psycho Gundam

>>280043704
any kind of sequel would probably be about some kind of interuniversal war being waged with soldiers that are like Shuuji and can zeknova wormholes at-will

>>280043794
>I make one typo and suddenly I'm ESL?

>your favs could never be this suave
AKSHUALLY

>>280043868
Yeah you're right. Maybe I shouldn't expect better from them

>>280041946
What is so special about this spinoff? I know some people have brought it up as being potentially better than the original series, especially for those who didn't like IBO.

>>280043975
Okay I'll give a concession. I'll give a pass to her before her death exposition on wanting to be a mom

>>280043125
Gridman is my favorite example of “reboot that’s secretly a sequel” approach. It’s why I didn’t really mind the timeline shenanigans of Gquuuuuux. Though admittedly Gridman did it more gracefully.
Also The Beginning made it much more clear that was going to be a part of the story early on by showing the OYW episodes first.

>>280043972
I wanted Machu and Nyaan to figure out how to fight together. Instead they're just instant mindreading each other's moves.
I also wanted to see Machu do a handstand in the Gundam...

>>280044030
I liked Kycilia's sentimentality, it reminded me of Viral's dream in the TTGL movie (color coding lol) and highlights the tragedy of how Zabis ruined the potential golden age for spacenoids

>>280042690
Don't be mean, short people pack on weight more easily

>>280042324
I feel that Khara wasn't honest about the Cold War stuff at all. The idea that Zeon, which loves going on raids and can finance the Solar Ray even when pushed back to A Baoa Qu, is somehow broke for years and can't do stuff really undermined the feeling of severe dread. Side 6 should have felt like a place terrified of being gassed at any moment, akin to nations being nuked due to MAD and madmen, yet its circumstances were far too much like they were in MSG 0079. A Zeon cold war should only ever exist after its hot war from ransacking space is complete.

Also, didn't GQuacks air at 00:30 JST? It was Wednesday over there. That actually helps your point that it wasn't trying to appeal to teenage audiences as much as G-Witch did with its time slot.

>>280042690
Where do you see the fat?
Machu is fit and skinny.

>>280044001
Doesn't have muh Bael. Lots of lore and setting exploration (strongest thing about IBO). Less edgy overall, and it's fun to see the not-edgy cast bounce off the grim setting (similar to how Machu is a ball of chaotic positivity that refuses to bend to the surrounding cynics). A lot of crazy fights with mobile armors and other ancient pre-war tech. Wisario is more likable and fun than Mika. Carta's sister is cute. The only thing that sucks, and it's a big suck, is Wisario's voice work.

>>280044030
I wish I could make her a mom
Homosexual sex with Kycilia

>>280044149
Rewatch the early episodes, especially episode 05. There's tons of dread. The colonials pepper it in throughout the episode, and Zeon and Federation atrocities are obliquely referenced in casual conversation (like human experimentation and post-war gassing incidents).

>>280033402

>Pomeranian
??? Oh, they mean the actual dog. The article even says its votes were pretty closely behind Nyaan, whereas Challia was almost 2x Machu. And we thought Deux was a viral hit...

>>280044122
It's not that it was bad it just felt very forced. They wanted a reason to say the line so they chose that.

Did you cry when Fred died?

>>280044149
The Sodon invades the colony and is floating in their airspace menacingly for several episodes even provoking protests and Xavier to be treated especially roughly by the locals. Gqux didn't emphasize the simple portrayal of Cold War dread but instead focused on the perceptions of the youth who are more disconnected from that terror but recognize the fragile status quo as a falsehood. Izuma is especially supposed to represent postwar Japan which had a rather cushy position despite being the vanguard of American empire in the east. That's part of why there are such stark contrasts in the show between OYW veterans and the kids.

Who here still hasn't watched 0079?

>>280044338

>Where the fuck was amuro

Living off the royalties for marketing Haros

>>280044335
In the end, we still don't know what the fuck the entire Diablo thing was supposed to be. Fred was a normal MS when compared to Quuux.

>>280044432
>Didn't get what he wanted so it's a troll

>>280033280
>I assume that Shuji is a variant of Amuro in the Rose timeline, which would explain why he has the RX-78-2, doesn’t know Amuro, and is obsessed with Lalah. I think Shuji was once just a normal young man, but his personality changed because he was stuck in a loop until his mind broke. Also, they deliberately chose not to show Amuro in the cockpit during the scene where Sayla fought Char and Lalah

He's not because Shuji said that "the white Gundam" kills Char, not "I kill Char".

Gquuuuuux continues to be a retard filter even after airing. It’s great. The dog is cute and symbolic of the greater themes of the anime. It deserves its top spot.

>>280044338
I've seen 00, Build fighters, wfm, Gcucks, Ibo, G, and half an episode of G reco before I turned that shit off.
Is this image implying 0079 is full of /ss/?

>>280044338
Char being molested by a older woman should be canon, it would unironically explain a lot

>>280044268
>>280044336
The feelings of unease and disdain in those episodes aren't much different from Side 6's worries in MGS 0079 and OVAs like 0080. We don't even get scenes of fear in personal lives like Machu's mom considering ways to evacuate on the first day the Sodon is in Side 6's airspace, of some of Machu's classmates starting to worry what might happen, etc. Xavier even only gets his ass beat because Chalia intentionally sends him on a wild goose chase to areas that would hate Zeon the most. Even the post-war teenagers would have been 10 or 11 when the OYW began, it was a lived event for them and shaped their teenage years.

Additionally, Side 6's minor connections to the Federation could have been at risk of being exposed, and if Zeon did learn about them, Side 6 could be especially endangered. In GQuacks itself, Side 6 didn't even feel like a place where the local government was being destroyed and the population was getting displaced, a la places conquered by the USSR, or the fear of what China might try to do to Japan.

>>280044335
GFred almost felt like Nyaan's only consistent friend, even against Kycilia. If there was any actual good Kycilia had toward Nyaan, even inadvertently, it was in GFred.

>>280044695
What's with the hostility, anon? Bright's slaps never actually right the ship, so to speak. They either fester resentment or do nothing.

I for one am thankful Exabe could fix Challia in the end

>>280044942
shota stand no chance against a forceful reach around handjob is what the oneeshota documentaries taught me

Sex with Deux. Leaving bright red marks on Deux' pale ass with an asspounding. Easily lifting up Deux and full-nelson fucking her into involuntary urination. Feeling the back of Deux' scalp and seeing all the gross surgery scars on her brain and spine. Deux feet. Licking Deux' sexy exposed ribs. Violently hitting Deux in the face with my hard smegma-covered old man penis. Deux armpits.

>>280045210
Bask please

>>280045047
>What's with the hostility, anon?
STFU

>>280044584

it's pretty crazy that he can handle 2 zeon ace pilots with none psycommu grandpa

This part was cool, Challia was the highlight of the entire series.

I am the worst mobile suit in the entire franchise

why is challia's aim so shit?

>>280045750
ekusaiba is good at dodging, he's just bad at everything else

>>280044279
Online polls are mostly women which suggests Challia is the most popular in that demographic and Shuji flopped.

Machu's coin slot

>>280045358
Stop being lame men need to be slapped on the face and women need to be slapped on their ass

Doo would be significantly less cute if she weren't in a grimdark situation capped off by death.

Less worse than to be hero X's last episode tho. Which intended to be Japanese anime killer but only 65% in nicolive. To be hero X won't have any toy from bandai. Balara(chink precure ripoff) had toy from Chinese bandai branch tho.

>>280034473
Why did censored slops like vigilante(not aired in China) and rock lady(aired in China) recieved well tho? While GQX didn't receive well spite having Loliservice since Machu is loli. Are Japnanese having bad taste, or not liking bikini scene that much?

Machu is a shojo mc

Nyaan's hairy roast beef...

>>280047189
Yuri and Yaoi and Yuri and Yaoi bait shows are getting really popular in China. Its just hard to talk about that because of all the spammers

>>280047453
Ironic that China bans homosexual shits.

>>280047189
>Machu is loli
Machu is seventeen. She's a JK, not a loli.

>>280046793
They were the people who wrote Rei Ayanami, though everyone but Sadamoto intended her to be offputting, not loveable.

>>280047465
homosexuals aren't allowed to shit in china?!

Can you guys maybe go to a Chinese website and talk about what is popular in China in broken English over there? Thanks.

>>280046478
in japan theyre in the west its usually also woman(male)

>>280047561
I am answering to a shitpost, but I read a yuri webcomic and at some point the author had to censor even just kisses because china. It was near the end of the comic too. Strange thing really. China has a big audience for both yuri and yaoi

>>280047453
It is about Japan considering Vigilante and Rock lady anime good spite censorship, while GQX is considered bad spite fanservice scene.

>>280047499

I am gonna miss this cute boy

I don't trust any report on what a national fanbase posted here but I think it'd be amusing if China started to love anime like Gqux because of their critiques of postwar Japan. The most esoteric level of reading the show even includes war crimes denial denial with negative references to Unit 731 and perhaps even drawing out along with it acknowledgement of comfort women practices by the portrayal of a militarized brothel. Otaku media lances right through the postwar myth with a Marxist beam rifle lol

Peak Yaoi

>>280048016
fear not, for the power of capitalism will save her

>>280048117
My heart went doki doki when Challia wrapped Char in the loving embrace of his all range attack. The entire side plot with Char, Challia and Xavier in the last episode was beautiful. Char's parting line to Challia is perfect lol

>>280048112
>if China started to love anime like Gqux
GQuX is 6.4 on Bangumi so you are wrong.

>>280042659
>Could even have where they do mech training together
"Both of you, dance like you want to win!" does sound like a perfect thing for MAVs to do desu.

>>280048184
>The entire side plot with Char, Challia
is basically "in a parallel universe you tried to genocide Earth after losing your loved one, which means I have to kill you in this universe where neither happened."
It's the flimsiest excuse to redo the Gundam vs Zeong fight.

Bearded man trained her well. Catching a bit with her suit hand while using regular MS controls rather than Psycommu is ace worthy.
