Gundam Reconguista in G is super beautiful but this is the most schizo shit I've seen in my life
I've never seen Gundam before, am I just egetting filtered?

The world is not square

You might be. Is this your first Tomino series? The man has an esoteric storytelling style.

>>280894367 (OP)
The director wrote a fantasy futa novel. What did you expect

>>280894441
It is

>>280894367 (OP)
Tomino tends to go off the deep-end and his storytelling style is very unhinged and hard to follow at times.

>Gundam Reconguista in G is super beautiful but this is the most schizo shit I've seen in my life
Yeah, that's G-Reco. Don't worry, it's not you.
>I've never seen Gundam before
God damn. What made you decide to start here?

>>280894496
It looks beautiful and it's standalone, it was one of the few that intrigued me
The other one was Turn A but I hear you need to see every other Gundam before it

>>280894515
G Reco isn't quite standalone, but it's so divorced from the rest of Universal Century era shows that it functions well enough as a stand alone. Turn A is actually really similar in that regard, it just has connections to multiple non-UC shows and it's a superior viewing experience if you have seen them.

>It looks beautiful and it's standalone
Overman King Gainer has the same artstyle and is probably more coherent - directed by Tomino as well.
>but I hear you need to see every other Gundam before it
Yes and no? You really just need to have an idea of Gundam; watch any shows that came before it that interest you (0079, Zeta, ZZ, CCA, 0080, F91, 0083, Victory, G, Wing, 08th, X) and then watch it I suppose would be my suggestion, but don't force yourself to watch stuff you don't want to to watch Turn A - it's not that kind of thing.

>>280894515
Turn A is technically not standalone but on the other hand it's disconnected from the rest of Gundam in a way that you really, really don't need to watch anything before it.

There's a cool plot point in the later half that benefits from watching at least all previous Tomino Gundam anime but it's not a "What the fuck is going on?" kind of reveal if you're going in blind.

Victory, Turn A and G-Reco are all three Tomino Gundams that kind of orbit around earlier UC Gundam but are completely fine as standalones.

>>280894367 (OP)
you have interesting taste

>>280894367 (OP)
It's wannabe deep garbage. I dropped it on second episode because I didn't like it and got the impression it was all bullshit then checked the plot later with anons who kept watching and my impression that they were just trying to turn a nothingburger into a 3d5u complex story by use of bad exposition solidified.

>>280894367 (OP)
You could have started gundam literally anywhere else and you picked the show where the creator started falling into dementia.

>>280894367 (OP)
>getting filtered
No. The franchise as a whole is pretty bad. There are standout series in there but you're better off ignoring almost everything.

>>280895582
>started
The man lost his marbles decades ago.

>>280895653
Nah, franchises are worth getting into because every installment builds upon the past ones and its tropes so even the more mediocre ones become fun to watch after a while. Also since they all focus on different things they reflect what their creator appreciates in gundam.
Take SEED for instance it has a mediocre story with mediocre characters but has any gundam show surpassed its kino levels when Kira comes back to save his friends with TM Revolution in the background? I don't think so. It's well worth getting through 25 episodes of sloppy drama between monstruous blobs with big watery eyes and flawless launch sequences just to get to this point.

>>280895676
Well I hadn't noticed until Greco

>>280895809
>seed
No.

The movie version is paced better and has the same runtime length of the TV series so you won't miss out on anything.

I still really like the TV version because I'm pretty comfortable with how Tomino directs his shows. If you want to get into it, go watch shows directed by him. Turn A Gundam is similar in style but much more muted and slow.

>>280895809
>but has any gundam show surpassed its kino levels when Kira comes back to save his friends with TM Revolution in the background?
That's not even the best "moment with a TM Revolution song" in Gundam.
The best bit in Gundam is probably either the end of the first episode or the nuke episode fron Turn A, or the ending of Victory.

>>280896091
Well I've watched neither but thanks for the info maybe it's time to check these out.

>>280896233
Turn A is more enjoyable if you've seen at least a few previous series (in production terms).

If you want a stupid goofy fun time, watch G Gundam

The worst crime is writing "reconquista" as "reconguista". Stupid dirty japanese monkeys.

>>280896330
Worse than Manny's haircut after joining the military?

>>280894367 (OP)
Yes, but it's ok most people get filtered by it and it's a flawed series

You need to keep track of the dynamics between the various factions and infer the worldbuilding

I take this opportunity to ask if Gquuuuux is any good.

I'm almost an exclusive UCfag. Is that show any good for me?

>>280897852
How much do you love Unicorn's take on Newtype Magic?

In my opinion the best gundam to start with is Cross Ange

>>280897882
not much, really. i prefer the old hippie way.

>>280894367 (OP)
>most schizo shit
That's gundam for you honestly.

>>280897515
SEX WITH RARAIYA
SEX WITH THE NUG

>>280897929
Well, Gquuuuuux relies heavily on newtype magic and Lalah x Char wank.

>>280897979
thanks for your opinion, anon.
