>>23326816 (OP)>Why did Tomino make this bad on purpose. Is he stupid?The truth no one wants to admit out loud is that at the time of making G-Reco, Tomino has fully slipped into "Old Man Yells at Cloud" era of mental acuity.
He used to ramble in the first 5-10 eps of a show before the story truly locked in. But in G-Reco, it was rambling all the way through, with not much a plot to hold it together. Stuff just "happened".
Things G Reco did well: Characters (personality/design), Animation, and world Building.
Things G-Reco did poorly: Storytelling, Plot, Mecha Design, Coherency.
