>>23317170 (OP)Is thatโs a monoeye?

How'd you feel about GQX if it had Zeta character and mecha design language, but the current colors and vibes?
>>23317742Stop posting this slop retard.
>>23317742Continue posting this slop genius.
>>23317170 (OP)>>23317185It looks like a giant space squid with a monoeye.
>>23317742It would be slightly better but if it keeps the same length and writing it'd still be trash.
>>23318460>>23318859Hot dogging her fat ass.
>>23317742the mecha are fine,Bandai is doing a good thing by moving mobile suits in this new direction. It doesn't have to be your favorite, as long as it's someones favorite.
The characters are fine, but they really didn't do a good enough job of giving them screentime-Maybe we will see them all fleshed out later on.
This isn't meant to be a show for the die hard fans. It's meant for westerners getting into the genre. It is a show that guys can show to their girlfriend- I hope we get more like it.
>>23318867>It is a show that guys can show to their girlfriendso none of the good ones?
>>23318871>none of the good ones?I don't know what that means I am not trying to shown a normal, full grown adult female some shitty anime from the 80s with crayola mechs stomping around at 15 fps. that shit is for later on if she gets invested.
don't even think it's possible to show her gundam seed. That show aged horribly. would be really cool to see it remade to GQX standards though.
>>23318867>girlfriendOUT!

OUUUUUUUUUUT!
>>23318867>It's meant for westerners getting into the genre.I don't see how it can be when it wants you to at least have a passing familiarity with 0079.

>>23318867I swear you're the same apologist shill that's in all these threads.
>>23319154my compensated girlfriends
>>23319171nah i am new, but don't be a chuddy loser. Embrace new things. Giant robots aren't real, they can be and look like whatever the animators decide. The new models look alive, industrial and somehow still sleek.
>>23319269I didn't like new designs them when they revealed the promotional default pose pictures but they look good in both the HG and the show.
Just look at this
>>23319613compared to this.
>>23319614The Red Gundam seriously does look great.
>>23317742I love 80s character designs a lot. But after the origin going back to Yas and Unicork looking really bland I dont mind something completely out of left field and striking. It gives me Diebuster vibes when you compare it to Gunbuster.
>>23317742I forgot to mention I am so happy Gundam mecha designs are exciting again. GQuuuux mecha can be a hit or miss for me (I dont really like the GQuuuux or Fred) but it's mostly hits with everything else. So many cool grunt redesigns. And I do like what they're going for.
Before now the last series I got excited by was Greco. And after that I never liked anything Ippei did for IBO and especially side UC stuff. Witch for Mercury suits looked technically good but just came off as boring (maybe if I liked the show.) Advance of Zeta is always cool I guess but I dont follow it much.
>>23318074They named it after a lovecraft thing for a reason I guess. Or it's supposed to be a jellyfish because Machu
In Sergeant Keroro the Frog, a 1/30000 scale MG Solar Ray comes out of Keroro 's dream . It seems that even the figure of Colonel Asakura is included. However, the dream was a nightmare, so as soon as I opened the box, Solar Ray hit Keroro directly.
Gihren objectively did nothing wrong in this timeline.
>B-but what about when he sai-
He didn't do it.
>Colony drops! Gassings!
That was Degwin and Dozle.
>But what about when he killed Degw-
Yeah, he killed the genocidal dictator.
Less deaths than in the Feddie timeline.
>>23322026>Less deaths than in the Feddie timelineI'm with you about everything except this part. More or less the dame ampunt of people died.
>>23322026The colony drops were Gihren's idea. They were a population control tactic.
>>23323355Higeman is hip with the kids.
>>23322026He did nothing wrong in any timeline aside from being dumb enough to allow kycilia to do kycilia things.
>>23322071ALSO: I think it's worth pointing out that there wasn't just one colony drop during the OYW. In Gaia Gear, they talk about how France was completely wiped off the map in a colony drop, which is why the city of Nouveau Paris had to be founded. The colony drops were Gihren's plan to exterminate as many human beings at once as possible, earthnoid and spacenoid
>>23323382*Paris was completely wiped off the map
>>23322071>>23323382Also part of this: most of the civilian deaths in the war were from colonies being gassed so they could be dropped on Earth.
>>23317742Still Alive! (in my Heart)
>>23317170 (OP)Someone posted alleged concept art and story leaks for star wars slop. They're allegedly copying the braw bro/kikeroga leash cannons for a new movie or show.
>>23323407@khara_inc
@SUNRISE_web
@BandaiNamcoUS
@FBI Do something
>>23319613Honestly, I didn't like the new gundam design when it was announced but it's grown on me
>>23319613>>23323678I think it's the lighting in the stills of the 3D models. It looks... odd. And as the result the whole design feels off when in the show and even in the pictures of the HG it looks much better.
I hated the use of 3D models in the eva rebuilds (and the movies themselves) so I was really worried about GQuuuuuux but Khara mostly pulled it off.
A couple shots here and there that look bad but for the most part I am not as bothered by the 3D as I should be.
It also help that I really like the GQuack and GFred, they look silly in the best way possible.

>>23324914and Emo not-Char will reveal heโs Char from another universe or something
>>23319614yeah i feel the show dosent do justice to the designs
>>23324914>>23324983I just hope Amate and Nyan can settle things between them without killing each other.
I don't need a happy ending in the sense of a fairy tail "and they lived happily ever after" but I would really hate a tragic ending at this point.
No leaks so far, but I will guess that Machu and Nyaan will kill Shuji in this episode, where his Newtype ghost will try to tell the girls to live their life as they chose. Nyaan continues attacking Machu, and in the end, the two stab their beam sabers in each other's cockpits, killing them, but disabling the GFreD. No ending theme, and the final episode will tease Char piloting the GQuuuuuuX to perform one final Zeknova to end the war completely. If this is fanfic level, you might be right, but with how truncated the story is, there's no question it will end this way.
>>23325045Not happening. After seeing how much of a happy ending we got for our yuri Gundam, Anno will plan on killing off everyone.
>>23325057This but they will not stab each other, hold hands with the gundam and cause a unicorn ending next episode.
>>23325059They made a pretty big deal of Amate not killing anyone so far, I feel like ending with her killing Nyaan would really leave a bad taste in my mouth.
My real worry is the discussion she has with Challia Bull about suicide (broadly speaking). It could end with Machu doing a self-sacrifice which would also suck.
What I would want is to have them team up against the red gundam and having to kill Shuuji. They can still try to do a tear jerker (it wouldn't work because Shuuji is a plot device, not a character) and have a neat bow on the end of Nyaan and Amate's parallel arcs.
>>23325069The girls killing Shuji will have to be an accident. He's in on wiping out the Zabis by way of reclaiming the Rose of Sharon... and whatever Char tells him to do.
>>23325075>The girls killing Shuji will have to be an accident.It could be an accident but I'm leaning / hoping it will be more along the line of "they have no other option besides killing him to save the day".
Machu getting her first kill "by accident" rather than having to kill her crush by her own hand would be a bit weak.
Hell, if Khara wants to masturbate themselves on screen they could have a parallel with Shinji killing Koaru. It would be stupid, but that would get a chuckle out of me.
>>23325079The only way I can see Machu and or Nyaan killing Shuji is if it's a suicide by proxy. There's no way they would lay a hand on him unless he turns evil evil, which I doubt, or asks them to.
>>23325083>There's no way they would lay a hand on him unless he turns evil evil, which I doubt, or asks them to.That's a good point. We'll just have to see, I really have no idea what they are going to do with Shuuji.
The only thing I fear is more Char wankery.

>>23325316If Challia doesn't die I will go out and suck a cock
I predict Shuji coming back out of a zeknova and stopping the girls from fighting
>>23325346you were going to do that anyways, sister.
>>23325024the current state of Bandais kitmaking is unreal. The state of HG is so much better than it has ever been.
>>23319614>>23319613in these pictures the first image is slightly squeezed and it's shadows look silly. The art team can't decide where the shadows should fall and it gives you this weird impression about how it's lit. The real life model is so much better and doesn't have that "something is not quite right but I can't put my finger on it" vibe.
>>23320282yeah the hard truth is that the "typical" gundam designs have peaked in so many different ways. I think these new design languages will age well. It's like Evangelion and gundam had a baby and a kubota lawnmower was watching from the cuck chair.
>>23325346cliffhanger incoming to sell more series. lets enjoy the ride!
>>23318867>This isn't meant to be a show for the die hard fans. It's meant for westerners getting into the genre.It's literally more esoteric than Unicorn, which was already very context reliant. But Unicorn provided a lot of context itself at the very least (even if it did it poorly).
GQuuuuuux specifically assumed you were capable of understanding parallels and can recognize when the narrative is making a zig to MSG's zag. Things that are very significant can be missed if you don't know any better, like Bask Ohm and Gihren's brief appearances. Lalah's exposition dump goes from a cryptic prophecy to essentially laying out the show's premise cut and dry depending on wether or not you're an oldfag.
>>23322026Lalah's trying to sell this as a doomed timeline but it just seems better. That have to make Kycillia go absolutely insane to make up for the damage Gihren didn't do here.
>>23325401not like its a stretch either now that i think about it
>>23325407that shit don't matter dude, go POMERANIANS! ARF ARF!
>>23325316 Shuji is a newtype char met that wants to benoticed by the girl in the elmeth
Zeknova happens because the alpha psycomu would have been installed in the elmeth if it had been built so theres two apha psycomus that can connect and one shouldnt exist.
Kycilia wants to use the big black hole thing to fuck up earth now to make people emigrate but Char is concerned about bigger issues.
Char needs to destroy the rose to save this world, but shuji appears as a ghost and doesnt want to, he reveals he came from the other side in the first place, lalah awakens and a new zeknova happens the Okawara gundam comes from it and the preview shows its gonna fight to protect lalah
Beyond the time micdrop
It took 11 boring episodes but we finally have a good mecha design. Hopefully amuro kills machu quickly
>Char in the theater
>Char putting his hair back
clapclapclapclap holy fuck anno i kneel.
>>23318867Just cause old fans don't like the mecha designs doesn't mean this show isn't a memberberry salad.
My weekly watch group kept dwindling because a lot of people assumed this was going to be more approachable to new fans, but it really isn't. It's not that it's just confusing for newcomers, they barely have anything to grip onto since the actual main characters take back seat to references, callbacks and parallels to existing lore. My one friend was so lost, he assumed Gfred must have been a callback to a series he hasn't seen because every time the show puts emphasis on something appearing it seems to be just that.

>>23325495The Shin movies are way more self contained than this, it sticks out like a sore thumb.
>>23325503>>23325499Isn't it going to be Shuji? How did Char even come back after getting ZEKNOVA'd wtf
>>23325507Matter can move both ways, Char just clearly fought his way out of UC to get back into alt UC
>>23325507Shuji is just a newtype ghost. It's not explained how Char came back he just met Shuji at some point

It's so bad it's good bro

Who's shuji?

>The last episode is just RX-78 vs the new MC's Gundam
Anno/Tsuramaki are just stealing scripts from 00 Gundam.
So the implication is that Shuji is Amuro in some shape or form right?
>>23325528>>23325529but why the fuck is machu even fighting the OG gundam. they have the exact same goal here.
post yfw Beyond The Time started playing
>Narrative shit on for years for making the other side completely literal as a physical plane.
>This show runs with the idea and people have to pretend they liked the idea now to safe face.
>>23325532I mean, people just seem to be assuming they will be fighting the OG Gundam? The preview picture doesn't actually show them clashing directly, and the one that Machu wants to stop right now is Char from killing Lalah.
"zeon won" timeline...never again!
>>23325532shuji wants to kill the whole zeon won universe
>>23325539Shuji is actually this universe's Jamitov
>>23325539Why? If you kill Kycillia now it's not that bad.
>>23325528I thought the same thing, but it was "Minovsky particles enhance Newtype cognition" that made me think it
>>23325528I miss the times when UC easter eggs are meaningful
>>23325537No one in their right mind likes Narrative and no one in their right mind likes how Gquuuuuux is ending up either.

This show simultaneously feels like it's for people who are open minded but also can't fucking move on and it makes me wonder if that contradiction is more common in Japanese nerds or something.

>>23325566Because zeknova convolutes time and shit, It's going to go through all of amuro's mech once defeated, phase two is White Zeta, phase three is Nu, phase four is Hi Nu
>>23325566>>23325571it's probably more for the fanservice than anything. RX-78 is more recognizable than the Nu Gundam.

was a S2 ever confirmed? once this is wrapped up next episode im not sure how a s2 could branch off, id be sad if this was just a 12 episode show
>>23325537Narrative fucked up UC (I'd argue Unicorn did and Narrative finished the job but people aren't ready for that) and this is making an omelet out of the broken eggs. I'm not saying it is going to be a GOOD omelet when it is done (I fear it is coming out both undercooked and burnt in different places) but it is just working with a post Narrative understanding of Newtypes, not causing the gaping wound to UC itself.

Okay, this show is the dumbest shit.
So Shuji summoned the RX-78-2 from his (?) universe, that probably means he's gonna be pilot it and fight Char in the red Gundam next week?
Because he wants to stop Char from zeknova-ing the rose of sharon-lalah back to her own universe.
Which is the same universe Shuji is from?
Why?
And they did a twist with Char where he realized that his ways from CCA, which are now represented by Kycillia are wrong, but how did he get to that point? Where did he go when he was originally zeknova'd?
Are they gonna answer any of this in the remaining 22 minutes?
>>23325631That analogy makes it seem like it's doing something productive with the mess Narrative created and I really don't feel like that's true.
For how lame Narrative was, I feel like it still gave the main characters their due focus unlike this show.

I don't think it's Amuro behind Rx-78.
Why would he act as some kinda time jannie trying to erase this timeline? Not to mention the morality of it.
Has to be Shuji imo, he is the one who wants to delete this timeline, Char took his robot away so he kinda has nothing to do so they

quacks HAD some potential but by god they really pulled out the knives on this episode.
>>23325677>everyoneNot really, just the detractors.
I don't think it's Amuro behind Rx-78.
Why would he act as some kinda time jannie trying to erase this timeline? Not to mention the morality of it.
Has to be Shuji imo, he is the one who wants to delete this timeline and Char took his robot away so if it's someone he's just gonna awkwardly cheer them on as a ghost when he's the main driving force/antagonist? Makes no sense to me.
Like, I'm not confident it's not Amuro but if it is it would a new low even for this show.
Whoops
>>23325686>>23325677That would have been better than what we actually got.
Well we have one episode left and I can definitely say that g witch was better. I hope anno got his gundam boner the money's worth. Nothing outside of Machu and Amuro meeting tomino in real life like spider-man TAS will save this show.
>>23325689>lololol the show is so stupid they are gonna fight for no reason, the characters in this show make no sense!>uhh actually that would've been better
The real problem is that it's just literally Grandpa.
This is next level hackery, just a complete embarrassment on every level
>>23325690the last ep will be a sequel bait. there's no way they can wrap everything that happened in the next episode!
>>23325693why is that a problem?
>>23325604notice how the show went completely insane the moment she died
DUDE I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW THE RX-78 APPEAR FOR NO FUCKING REASON WHATSOEVER
>>23325692Fighting because they are on different sides or because Machu wants to stop more Zeknova lasers makes perfect sense. You are just as dumb as the retards you hate.
Another level of 'shameless fanfiction' has been passed.
>>23325519Amuro's son with Chan
>>23325632still makes me laugh the ED has nothing to do with the show at all
>>23325675I am not understating when I say Narrative is a much, much better story than this.
>character motivations are spelled episodes ago
>hurr the show don't make any sense
That was awesome. If you didn't like it you should choke to death on a million dicks.
>>23325706Are you guys actually this fucking stupid

>>23325710Imagine clapping like a seal at this slop
>>23325708Just because the motivations of the characters in Narrative made sense didn't make it a good story. The problem isn't nominations.
>>23325710I can't imagine how retarded i would have to be to be entertained by this shit, wow a reminder of a better show that i could watch right now
>>23325708We had no idea Char wanted to kill Lalah, you liar.

I SEAL CLAPPED ARUF ARUF ARUF ARUF
Thank God there's only one episode left
The og Gundam appearing shouldn't be too surprising after they teased us with the original Elmeth
remember how we thought the whole OYW stuff was just a trick meant to attract initial attention to the show and the show itself would just do its thing.
>>23325710This was pretty cool, gundam needed something like Gqx to shake things up a bit.

>>23325733In a few weeks when all the redditreferences have worn off, you'll realize how terrible this show has been
Why pray tell should I be pointing at the screen and hooting at the idea that the !!!REAL!!! RX-78-2 and Amuro Rey have come through a multiverse Avengers portal to kick Char's ass when what pitiful little we've been shown of this worlds Char makes him come across as one ultimately in service of good, similar to the originals time as Quattro?
>>23325727Go to reddit if it bothers you and I mean that respectfully
>>23318867Is there a term for when something is prophetic, but In perfect, direct opposition to what actually ended up occuring?
I honestly think this might the worst gundam show.
The story was way too big for 12 eps, having to contain it this much just outright ruined characters and the story. And they wasted what little time they had on memberberries. The time jannie shit was the last straw for me.
The love story and romantic triangle were terrible. Even the mechs are overdesigned mess, with GFred being one of the uglies mechs I've ever seen.
At least other bad shows had the dignity to fail on their own merits without dragging in classic characters.
Bayond the time made sense considering this was almost an inversion of CCA with Char being the one making things right this time.
Kycillia's plan is almost 1:1 the shit Char is on in CCA.
It's almost like giving him a redemption arc 37 years later lol
>>23325739He smiles. Uhm.
His robot is cute...
Uh
>>23325732>>You're just an oldfagThis show is for oldfags though, it's literally a parade for the gundam anniversary and all you can think about is Anno being attached to it.
>>23325731>memberberrywe've gone to a level beyond at this point.
>>23325731If you don't like it why are you here, do you think Banrise will read your posts here and take your "critiques" into consideration?
Can you make a bitching, moaning, whining and pants-shitting thread and leave the people who aren't fucking obnoxious this one to enjoy the afterglow of a good episode of animated science fiction
>south park memes
Americans are literal cattle.
>>23325748In actually like Gfred's design but yeah this might be the least worthwhile Gundam experience I've had up to this point. The Mecha designs and music are the only saving grace.

>>23325734I've barely said a word about this reference fest of a show other than that I thought it leaned to far into references in place of actual substance, but I've otherwise found it a fairly fine watch week-by-week
This episode was the first time I found it actually embarrassing and as a bonus, it basically laid it's cards on the table and showed that it just has fucking nothing to say. It's way emptier than I'd actually thought.
>>23325754Anon I'm neutral on this show but this is a stupid response. This place and the internet as a whole are literally designed for people to share their opinions. By that logic Banrise won't read positive posts and take the praises into consideration either so why bother posting them
>>23325582>gundam is precisely about humans to being unable to move Beyond The Time i clapclapclap no idea how mavs play into this though or newtypes or clan bats.Almost every single clan battle was with someone who couldn't move on from the past.
>Married wife who orphaned her children and widowed her husband to fight a clan battle >Black Tri Stars >Titans trying to kill Kycillia
>>23325751You are correct, but it was a common knee jerk defense tactic for apologists of this show to say this show simply isn't for old fans. I mean you can see it earlier in this thread.

Do you guys actually think Amuro is gonna show up?
I thought Shuji just summoned the Gundam so he can pilot it and fight Char
>>23325775Then why did Challia have to stop her from doing it earlier when they didn't even know where the Elmeth was?
>>23325566Listen to the lyrics of Beyond the Time. Its 100% inspired the story of GQuuuuuux
>>23325770>it was a common knee jerk defense tactic for apologists of this show to say this show simply isn't for old fansare you seriously making revisionism while the show is airing? usually you'd wait a couple months before going "uhh actually the people were saying X when the show came out"

>I thought Shuji just summoned the Gundam so he can pilot it and fight CharI think Lalah did that, or Shuji using Lalah's powers. Think about it, all the shit Lalah has done has to do with her final moments in UC, the Elmeth, Char's Zeon suit, grandpa.

>>23325800Because this Char learned that putting his own personal feelings over the sake of the world is selfish and wrong.
He outright said this in the episode.

I love when mecha gets weird as shit this has been a good year for me lol. I'm the guy who won't shut fuck up about Brain Powerd after watching it recently

How did the Gundam talk to Shuji?
>>23325885What exactly would you say is convoluted about it? I would agree that there might be too many characters flocking around but it's not like there's a lot going on or many factions to care about.
>>23325885>Thematically, I think this show is 100% on pointTo what exactly?
It feels like this is all leading to a notion that Lalah fucked up a timeline by wanting more. But like... Why? Why is it everyone else's cross to bare?

man I thought Char would have a new MS by now
>>23325898Still non an arguelement
>>23325880Yeah I get the whole thing is about moving on from the past but i can't help but feel it's the director and the president who can't move on the most. Heck most of my complaints is that UC Gundam even the side stories don't move past much CCA. We barely have anything from the F91 era and the Victory era only like has one sidestory involving Judau.
And then we don't have anything that's past Victory other than the first Live action attempt of Gundam, Mad Wang and Gaia Gear as well as whatever few notes we have of Polka Gundam.
>>23325913Watch the episode.

>>23325919Yeah, she has no past to move on from so what you said is incorrect.
>>23325919So how does that make her someone who can't move on from the past?
>>23325918what? he got the Red Alpha back?
>>23325916>i can't help but feel it's the director and the president who can't move on the mostbecause they made a show celebrating something they enjoyed as kids? come on anon, stop being sour grapes
>>23325922>Shuuji is a schizoso how come he is a Force ghost huh???
>>23325930Why? He's a preview of things to come, not the past.
>>23325926>>23325923are you retarded? she's there to kill kycilia
>>23325933he's still trying to wage a war that ended in loss for him and roping a child into it.
>>23325922Even Hathaway is tied to CCA. Of the three pseudo sequels I mentioned Gaia gear is tied to first century UC because of the literal Char clone and Mad Wang is tied to a Z Gundam side story. So it's only G-Saviour that doesn't have too much roots from first century UC.
>>23325935She's there to kill the past?
>>23325928Sure but I feel it's hypocritical to tell people to move on when you are trying to celebrate said old show.
>>23325800This version of Casval never meet Lalah nor did he lose her, he considers Rose Lalah a threat to the GQ universe or at least something that shouldn't exist and seems to think that she is doing something to Shuji who seems to be GQ Casval's own "Kamille" so at least two reasons to strike down Rose Lalah
>>23325942More like forcing said old show down our throats.
>>23325942>tell people to move onYou are reading too much into an anniversary show. Nobody is telling YOU to move on, evangelion isn't about telling otaku to bathe either. Stop trying to turn everything into a social message or whatever retarded nonsense journos want you to believe.
>>23325942TV shows aren't really the type of thing that causes problems in your life if you fail to move on from them
>>23325942Nostalgia isn't necessarily inherently bad.
Despite it's flaws I have genuinely been enjoying the show, but this episode definitely did rub me the wrong way at points
Particularly Comoli being used for exposition, and Char getting his uniform magically
And I really wish they redesigned the summoned Gundam to emphasize that the Lalah that got teleported to the new universe is not the UC Lalah
>>23325931His corporeal body is projecting a ghost.
>>23325928>because they made a show celebrating something they enjoyed as kids?Why isn't MY UC fanfic being animated???
>>23325950>Stop trying to turn everything into a social message or whatever Funny how creators themselves double-down on this, and being totally unsubtle. Remember
>For the Japanese audience, I would like โyoung people who are about to enter societyโ to take the message, โDon't worry. Try. You can do itโ. For the larger audience in the world, I want them to have the message, โWhatever could happen, we, human beings, will be alright.

>>23325908My current theory is that it might have been possessed by Amuro and that is why it was looking for the Rose, considering that Casval knew Shuji from before and considering their conversation at the end I think Amuro might have hijacked Shuji's body to try to rescue Lalah and/or kill Casval
So why did Char hand over Red Gundam to some random kid?
Why did he fake his own death and do fuckall for years when he was a war hero?
Why did Shuji spend his time fucking around sniffing girls and doing graffiti when he wanted to destroy the world?
How did gundam speak to him?
What if Shuji is like an avatar created by Lalah?She manifested Char's clothes, so she seems to have some sort of power to create things in this universe
Maybe that's why he showed up as a force ghost

you dont need mavs newtypes, time travel multiverse stuff, references... any of it for this theme
newtypes, time travel multiverse stuff, references can explained away by stating that "oh higher ups forced them to"
but mavs whats the point of that? is it some yet another smart ass commentary about rivalries that every gundam supposed to have?

>>23325966>Why did he fake his own death and do fuckall for years when he was a war hero?His simping for Lalah must have overridden his political & personal concerns (removing the Zabis). HE OVERDOSED ON KIRA KIRA TOO.
>Why did Shuji spend his time fucking around sniffing girls and doing graffiti when he wanted to destroy the world?Space autism. Also, drug addiction.
>How did gundam speak to him?DRUG ADDICTION
Xavier is strong as hell wtf I thought he was a jobber

Well that explained everything.
>>23325975>what? why? why? what? why? what? what?
Am I retarded or was this episode really similar to cca, even without beyond the time?
Almost feels like commentary/addendum on it
The twist? this ain't the grandpa gundam, but a Gundam based on it from very late in the UC
>>23325990My sentiments exactly.

>>23325710Excuse me but Iโm looking for a redesigned imposter using the sacred name of yours truly, WHERE IS IT
>>23326001>Actually, Char would be the pragmatic, logical one who was not swayed by petty emotions and would understand the safety of the world comes firstYeah it's essentially the moral version of Char wank by someone who was mad about CCA.
>>23326007Why do you people want Amuro to be the villain who wants to erase a universe?
>>23326003Good thing people started watching 0079 after the movies.
>>23326012Well this is a different Char, who got almost success after success, the real Char is a dude who kept fucking up over and over
Lalah probably is influencing how this Char is even if indirectly
>>23326015I don't, but without a voice actor his role is limited.
>>23326012>by someone who was mad about CCA.feels more like someone who liked CCA too much to me
>>23326003I thought this airing during a variety show indicated they were planning to capture new audiences for Gundam? Was I wrong?
>>23326018Char got a new seiyuu, Amuro will too.
>>23326017it's also a Char that never met Lalah or Amuro
>>23325990i actually know why: coz its a shit show
im just probing for more opinions coz maybe im wrong and overlooked something... guess not!
>>23326007Remember when he sweating against the Psycho (with an unwilling pilot) in the Dijeh?
>>23326018Didn't he kept voicing Amuro?Might as well be the only role he is allowed to keep for some reason.Maybe it's a japanese honor thing
>>23326022yeah yeah you have been doing this since episode 3 or so, go back to /a/ spammer
>>23326018It's obviously the purple hobo.
>>23326019That's literally the direct opposite of Char's role in CCA.
>>23326021I do like the implication that a Char that never met Lalah is just a well-adjusted individual.
That newtype pussy must've fried his brain
>>23326025Furuya got cancelled for being a sex pest
>>23326029yeah, that's what I'm saying
>>23326030I mean,Lalah is the pretty much the sole reason he wasn't able to really move on.She was such a good person losing her pretty much destroyed the already pretty messy person he was.
>>23326025Amuro's VA had already signaled he was pretty much done as Amuro as of that Doan's Island movie they made a few years ago, even before he became persona non grata
>>23326030I think it's more that OYW turned him into a sociopath, despite killing the Zabi he was way too damaged after it trying to find a place where he could fit. Amuro managed to cope much better with all the stress and trauma caused by OYW but he also had victory after victory and was basically imprisoned by the winning side.
>>23326030It's not that he never met her, it's that he never lost her.
>>23326033I know,but he still was voicing Amuro in recent project including this year
>>23326037He voiced Amuro in recent games and in a OVA recently
>>23326038Amuro was traumatized to the point where he was unable to go to space.
>>23326038Even Amuro barely was able to cope,he might be better than Char but he was also a pretty messed up guy by CCA,he just managed to keep some morality,but similar to Char,he wasn't able to really connect with anyone
What is this show trying to say?
>Let the past go
Feels kind of superceded by Lalah essentially being the sole reason any of this is happening in the first place.
But why is it so important for this show to make a victim into the reason everything went bad?
>>23326041What OVA? Super Robot Wars etc probably used archived audio.
So, how is it gonna end?
WIll this universe be erased from existence?
Will it be reset to before the other Lalah ever zeknova'd in?
Is Machu gonna learn a valuable lesson?
>>23326043But he didn't turn into a sociopath, he reclaimed his title as a war hero and fought for what he thought was right, Char kept wandering not knowing what to do or whom to fight for like a mumbling retard.
>>23326041The last time he did Amuro was 2022. The new Super Robot Wars if that's what you're thinking of is reusing existing voice work from the older games, he's not doing any new work for it.
>>23326049>>23326053A gundam base thing,I forgot the name,he also voiced brand new scenes in some mobile stuff
>>23326047>>23326050Stop acting like toddlers and wait for the show to end.
>>23326050It's going to pull a Getter Devolution and somehow lead into the creation of the timeline we know even though it essentially needs that timeline already to exist.
>>23326051The difference is that Amuro still had some kind of social support even if he was still pretty damaged,Char only had people wanting him to be someone he is not and him feeling utterly guilty about Lalah
Char is a pretty sad and pathetic person.
>>23326027if you have nothing to say just keep quiet.
>>23326047the whole thing is happening coz rose of sharon lalah couldnt let go of char i guess this is the prevailing narrative for this show for now.
>>23326051You should actually watch Zeta at some point instead of just shitposting about it you know.
>>23326050Everyone dies. Tomino will be proud.
Narrative bros. We are validated.
>>23326063Oh hell, it's that guy who never watched Zeta telling people to watch Zeta again. We missed you.
>>23325975>what narrative and what theme?>>23325804
>>23326050Let me check my crystal ball...
"She's doing all of this to protect you, though."
https://x.com/ShimakazeYamato/status/1935035362524733491
I don't know what to think of Nyann and Machu, they had their character arc but now it looks like they don't even really know what is going on and just are going with the flow
>>23325649Look where you are at, everyone is fucking obnoxious.
>>23325715Imagine being a fucking annoying bitch like yourself. More than anything, you people are the worst. Vapid annoying cunts that get no enjoyment from anything unless they shit on it. So goddamn pathetic.
Really liked the episode, just wish half the series wasn't wasted on the clan battle stuff, would have been better to build up to this stuff in a more meaningful way. Still, love the Char stuff and the culmination of the threads so far
Not a direction I was guessing, but I wasn't trying to keep an expectation in the first place. ...I like it? I'm at least more hopeful for what the ending may try to do in regards to keeping a door open for the new characters.
Even if the GQx reality is erased, there should still be equivalents to the new characters in the UC. Unless some of the Zeon officers died in the OYW as young cadets pressed into active service.
so is there gravity or no gravity inside the big gun
char does the zero-g slide on stage, then kycillia walks, then machu falls on him, yet debris float
>>23325710It should have been the Nu holding Char's pod
>Nyaan almost killed Kycilia to save Machu
wholesomebros we might be back...
>>23326201I'm glad she put some lead into her but I still hope Char gets the kill.
So there isn't an infinite multiverse. Lalah is just meddling with time, and that is creating a limited number of alternate universes, alternate universes which may or may not be destroyed or collapsed back into the original timeline or an entirely new timeline
>>23326222It was just one of lalah's dreams. The end.
Huge Zeknova happens, Shuji is erased, Machu and Nyaan both awake in unfamiliar places with their memories but never have actually met before, they both set out to meet. Roll credits.
>>23325483Can you explain this feeling? Char's Counterattack nostalgia flashback.
>>23326226No, I think the angle they're going for makes sense when you think of it in light of Unicorn. Frontal shows Banagher the end of the universe, but it doesn't break his spirit. Somehow, he believes, this doesn't spell the end, even if from their limited point of view it seems it must. The actual riposte to Frontal's worldview could be given in the form of this story, Lalah's will going beyond time creating whole new realities through the power of love. Even if one Char dies, even if one universe dies, it doesn't mean it's the end. There's still possibility, still hope
>>23325940What's Suda doing in my Gundam?
I would've bought stocks in bamcorise film works if instead of grandpa it was the Thunderball FA Gundam and Io showed up to clean house. Ah, the road not taken.
>>23326250Based and thunderpilled
>>23325688We don't have Amuro in GQuuuuuuX. Good explanation is that he could have either died with the rest of Side 7 during Zeon's attack, created Haro, or just simply was a variable that did not exist while Tem Ray did. This might be the only timeline where Amuro doesn't exist, which could explain why Zeon even won in the first place, and in terms taken from the Fate franchise, became a Lostbelt in comparison to every other timeline where Lalah survives, but loses Char and gets heartbroken, or dies saving the man she loves.
This is everything I feared would happen but somehow I enjoyed it a lot. We've gone full silly.
I am really sad that then end of this show will focus on the "alternative timeline" aspect and not the characters in this show.
Machu's and Nyann "parallel arcs" following the departure from side-6 were compelling.
(Not perfectly handled by any mean, but my only complaint is that I wanted more. Which to me at least, doesn't take away from the show itself)
And their interactions in this episode were interesting, even if they get a bit overlooked with all the craziness going on around.
I really liked Nyaan's scene with Kycilia, the clichรฉ thing would have been to have her obey Kycilia even though she's doubting her so she can fight Machu again, I'm really glad they didn't do that.
Machu is being proactive in the plot without having killed or even wanting to kill anyone. And I really like that about her character. Having her toss her rifle to grab the "cat-hear module" and chuck it at Nyann was pretty cool.
Tsurumaki could pull off a resolution for both aspects. He's shown many times that he can work a lot of 'stuff' into short running times. If he does, I'll eat my words, but I really don't see *how* he could.
On a different note. Can anyone recommend a neat /m/ show or manga with a magical girl aspect?
Pretty Cure Char has put me in a weird mood.
>>23326279>manga with a magical girl aspectNot /m/ but magical girl spec ops asuka
>>23326279>Can anyone recommend a neat /m/ show or manga with a magical girl aspect?Magical Ensign Blaster Mari was made for this moment
Granbelm is kinda cool and has Kamille as a narrator and some big Zeta moments I can't spoil and non CGI mecha fights.
>>23326287>magical girl spec ops asukaExquisite taste but I've read that already. Is the anime alright? I could give that a shot.
>>23326315>UC parody set during the One Year War.I'm sold, thank you!
>>23326324The anime is alright. Some manga events happen earlier in the anime, most likely because they knew they wouldn't adapt the rest of the manga. The sex scene was animated
LAST BETS IN FOR SHINING FINGERRRR
come on you know those assholes can't keep themselves.
>>23326127The internet seems way more negative than it ever used to be for some reason.
>>23326041Do you know what stock voice lines mean? Bandai Namco has voice lines saved up for years, and even if they let the VA go after a major scandal and subsequent retirement, they can immortalize the character with just the voice lines. Could also explain why Ple was never recasted until UC Engage can't keep those stock voice lines when new Ple clones show up.
>>23326333I'm waiting for the Turn A to show up. Or X.
>>23326330Is that sex scene with War Nurse Kurumi and the one she enslaved? I long forgot that. Well, it should have been given a season 2 just to empty all the manga content because the source material was already finished two years after the anime.
>>23326343The one between the masked villain girl whose name I forgot and her midget illegal magical girl. I agree that the entire manga should've been adapted. The anime is pretty much an ad for the manga
>>23326188>fastballs the pod at the red gundam>both chars swearing like sailors as they get bounced about their cockpits
>>23326105>Use it.TIME PARADOX.
>>23325535Shameless reference defenders in shambles
So where is the deuxfaggot who unironically defended this show's nostalgia pandering? Where's they guy arguing that the show isn't meant to satisfy viewers when it panders this shamelessly? Where's they guy who said it was thematically coherent? Where's the guy who said this show was actually deep?
>>23326384I'm standing by my words. It was until this episode.
I remember how wfmtards were saying that I'm a tourist whenever I said that gcucks is going to be garbage.
>Gundam showed up
>Char in a mobile suit
>A Lalah from another universe in the Elmeth
I think it's pretty obvious what's going to happen next week.
>>23326431I'd laugh if Amuro goes for the kill and Lala does her suicide play, meanwhile alternative universe Char is just going "who the fuck are either of you?"
>>23326213yep, I'm going tomorrow.
>>23325606Kawarouououououuu
>>23325988I think the implication is Shuji actually sought Char out, since Char muses that his encounter with him might not have been a coincidence. Considering Shuji's overall goals, it also makes sense for him to get close to Char, too, since it's the psycommu in his Gundam which resonates with the Elmeth's.
If jannies can't even delete dozens of bait threads (that are increasing exponentially every hour) how can Shuji even hope to delete an entire timeline?
I thought the underwater sound effects during the zeknova were a nice touch. I haven't been using headphones to watch this show until now I'm not sure if it was always there and I just missed it or not.
>>23326402If you're still in this thread let me say: It never was. All of that was simply you projecting your belief in a studio of washed up auteurs because you deluded yourself into thinking they still had the creativity and focus to create something that wasn't a poorly planned, messily written and shallow cash grab. You simply connected dots Khara made by accident and created a mirage of actual quality, making apologies for their mistakes all the while.
>>23327108I had to hide 30 troll bait threads and you nigger faggots still come to the normal one I give up
>>23325640This but unironically.
>>23325640The last point is extra funny since i've seen more headcannons defending the show get proven wrong kek
>>23325727We are reddit now, can't go without thinking about slop and relating it to everything we watch for 10 seconds.
>>23325800Behold, the typical muh memberberry poster.
>>23325987a pity his guard squad died in like 5 frames to make Challia look good
>>23326279Quite refreshing to read this post after the mess this board has become. Thank you.
>>23325975>you dont need mavs newtypes, time travel multiverse stuff, references... any of it for this themeHow's that bad?
>>23327338We're sorry this board didn't end up being your personal safe space like you wanted :(
>>23327608The best part of this anime is reminding you of better gundam anime to watch. Thank you Khara, you guys are geniuses
>>23327338I still live by the rule that you shouldn't feed the trolls, and that the internet (i.e. the board) is what you make of it.
Hopefully the trolls will leave eventually and we'll be able to have quality threads about GQuuuuuux like during the theater run of Beginnings.
We'll have to see what the final episode does but I thnink there will be more things to talk about than with WfM and (a bit) less shipping fagotry. There will be a time for quality threads.
>>23327478Superhero movies did it recently a lot (Two Spiderverse movies, MCU Spiderman, the Flash, Deadpool and I think more TV shows and parts of other movies) and made the normie contrarians uppity about it because they never read comics they're from. Endgame made them uppity about Time Travel. (Which I noticed from a completely different unrelated franchise.) Star Wars and remakes/reboots made them uppity about references.
I wish I was joking.
Beyond the Time is such a fucking BANGER
>>23325537Never watched Narrative, no problem, lmao
>>23325556As someone who knows OLD Japanese fans, they're just excited to be getting some First Gundam shit.
They're open-minded about everything basically, but they don't necessarily think it's as good or better than the original. Any attention is better than no attention, basically.
>>23325566Lalah never even saw the Nu Gundam, numbnuts
>>23325618What's wrong with Darling in the Franxx?
The very last episode was kind of unnecessary but it was a solid, consistent narrative if you don't take it TOO seriously.
>>23325623Upvoted for Batman Beyond reference
>>23326279>I am really sad that then end of this show will focus on the "alternative timeline" aspect and not the characters in this show.Agree.
While it's fun and cool and hype to see Challia Bull kicking ass in the unreleased Kikeroga, and to have the Zabis (tm) fucking each other over, and to have THE OG show up, it's a shame that it's taken over what was a promising new cast of characters who are basically just as much bewildered bystanders as we are.
I actually liked the fight scene with Machu and Nyaan; the former has barely fought at all so I forgot what the GQuuuuuuX could actually do.
I recommend Granbelm.
>>23328423>A promising new cast of characters who are basically just as much bewildered bystanders as we are.That's a great way to put it!
Unfortunately it was probably always going to end like this, the starting point of the show was Char getting "the red gundam" and disapearing, Khara were never going to be brave enough to let that be a background element.
Especially when Shuuji was piloting the red gundam!
It's still possible that the final episode will 'blow it's load' in the first half then take its time to bookend Amate's and Nyaan's plot. But I don't think that's likely and at this point, I think its better for the show to get even crazier than it would be to show restraint.
At least in term of making the show memorable.
I really hope they don't kill Machu or Nyaan so we can hope for a sequel or some side material at least.
>>23328154Crisis on infinite earth was always trash
>>23328423>cool and hype to see Challia Bull kicking ass in the unreleased KikerogaHe called kycillia's newtype corps strong before killing them all instantly while they did nothing. half of them died off screen lol.
>>23328282Even without the CCA connection it's just a very fitting song and the way it's incorporated into the episode is really fucking hype
>>23327478it took up the limited screen time when focusing on core themes - whatever they are - wouldve been better
>2 weeks later
We are .. forgotten ..
>>23328395Damn duel you get more and more braindead with each iteration of these you make.
>>23330065I have 50 to 60 threads hidden and I made a thread about it which got instantly deleted but none of the threads I hid got deleted. Is duel a fucking mod? What the christ happened to this place?
