Failed in Japan but won in my heart

>>23327896
the original show didn't fail it underperformed at first. it went on to be better received once it was reairing + from its toys, the movies later capitalized on that but the show didn't fail.
it's a funny joke anon I just want to correct you here because I see people frame MSG as a failure a lot. take an acguy as recompense.

>>23327935
>show only succeded because it got new toys sponsors (and fujos), not because Japanese found the show fun to watch
Japan is a really autistic place

>>23328079
No, that's backwards. It got reruns because people like it first. The gunpla sold well but that came shortly after.

>>23328103
the show had low ratings and the toys didn't sell well so it got canceled and lost many episodes.
Clover then went bankrupt, and Bandai became the new toy sponsor, and their toy line was successful enough to boost the show's popularity.

>>23328079
Not nearly as autistic as the faggot spamming the DX threads.

>>23328110
1 thread per month isn't a spam
just hide my threads if they really offend you

>>23328113
If Duel makes a monthly rec chart thread that he continuously bumps himself to take threads he doesn't like off the catalog, it's spam. Ergo, your monthly trash that you keep necrobumping for a whole month, wasting catalog space and bumping more organic threads off the catalog, is also spam.

>>23328113
Still is. Knock it off.

>>23328127
I'm not the one who necrobumps my threads.
it's the same one who wants you to hate my threads

grow up and stop falling for shit toddlers can avoid

>>23328131
You're not fooling anyone, same typing quirks, same unoriginal replies malding over any post that isn't singing praises about X even if they're nearly a week old, not to mention the obvious samefagging. After several of your melties, I have heavy doubts that you're not Duel-tier mentally ill.

>>23328149
Whatever makes you sleep, schizo
now you are just like Duel, ruining threads with your obsession and autism because it's not yet another mecha girl coom spam.

>>23328153
Nice projection, retard. See you in a few weeks once you're totally not bumping your own dead thread with nothing posts like your dear role model Duel.

>>23328157
I bet you are the one who necrobumps my threads to make me look bad

>>23328158
Nice deflection, but I always remember to sage every time I post in your spam threads. I don't like to format my posts like an smoothbrained autistic schizo either.

>>23328164
trolls like you is why we should get the ip count again and flags on this board

>>23328166
Are you sure about that? That would mean outing yourself as the autistic, samefagging, necrobumping schizo you are even harder that you're already doing.

>>23328171
the necrobump fag is the one who kept necrobumping that ZZ thread for 6 fucking months.
if it's not you, then he's doing it just because you are manchild getting angry over trivial things and he's laughing at your autism right now

>>23328166

>>23328173
>he's laughing at your autism right now
You just can't help but make it obvious that it's you.

>>23328181
think about it. why would I necrobump a thread that nobody posts in it except 2-3 people and all of them hate DX?
the necrobump fag just wants your dumb reactions

>>23328182
For the same reason you keep making forced DX threads every month and have a meltie every time you're told that it's annoying spam: because you're mentally ill.

>>23328189
because I post what I like + still hoping for someday to find DX fans like me.

>>23328190
Yes, you're autistic and mentally ill. There's much better ways of engaging in your hobbies and socializing than being an insufferable Duel-tier spammer.

>>23328194
> you're autistic and mentally ill
did you forget that you are on 4chan?
100% chance you are like this and worse since you cry about a thread that doesn't harm you in anyway

>>23328198
>did you forget that you are on 4chan?
Not everyone is on Duel's level like you are.
>100% chance you are like this and worse
No, anon, I don't feel the compulsion to make ritual threads about the things I like nor scream at everybody when they say they suck.
>a thread that doesn't harm you in anyway
You're harming the quality of the catalog and the board as a whole. Chronic spammers like you should be permabanned.

>>23328211
>Not everyone is on Duel's level like you are.
I don't raid any thread and and ruin them.
I hate the coom threads but I hide them
>No, anon, I don't feel the compulsion to make ritual threads
good thing that nobody cares about what you do with your time. but you care a lot about me <3
>You're harming the quality of the catalog
lmao. hi, Duel!

>>23328215
>good thing that nobody cares about what you do with your time.
Says the retarded faggot constantly accusing me of being Duel and seething over how I supposedly keep raiding and necrobumping multiple threads.

>>23328224
only a troll would pretend that board quality is good and ONLY me ruining it lol

>>23328232
>only a troll would pretend that board quality is good
This is the kind of excuse only a shitposter would use to justify their shitposting.
>and ONLY me ruining it
Of course it's not just you, Duel, the Oldrin spammer, the other mentally ill shitposters that pop up every month or so and the complacent jannies are also contributing to the decline of this board.

>>23328245
the other shitposters post everyday and raid threads.
I only post what i'm currently watching (Jeeg and Shin Jeeg threads recently) and DX from time to time.
I don't even drone this board. most of the time i'm on /vr/ or /g/

>>23327935
X got cancelled in its early 40s.
MSG got cancelled in its early 40s.

If you're going to call X a failure, then you must acknowledge that MSG was.

>>23327877 (OP)
GX divider is still my favorite gundam.

>>23330232
X is deader than shit, MSG got a sequel even with the cancellation

>>23330423
X got a manga sequel/side-story with a new cast and an epilogue manga for the main cast.

It could get something new next year too since it's the next anniversary.

>>23330445
>X got a manga sequel/side-story with a new cast and an epilogue manga for the main cast.
There's nothing special about this. Manga are a dime a dozen in Japan. Each and every Gundam production has had one.

X is the best example of "nobody cared, let's forget about it, moving on...". Even Turn A got a cult audience, and that one got worse ratings and even less model kits.

>>23330449
>There's nothing special about this
Under The Moonlight was going to be a short manga but it was popular enough that they extended it to be 4 volumes long.

Next Epilogue is the only manga that was included in Cross Rays DLC batch, making X the only entry with multiple storylines to get DLCs (G, Turn A and AGE DLCs only included the anime mechs, while X got both the anime and Manga mechs)

I dunno why there's all this commotion about shitposting over X. It's a highly inoffensive series. It's embarrassing to get this worked up over it.
Like a friend always talking about how they really fucking hate someone and then you find out they're 13. This rivalry you're inventing demeans you.

>>23330458
it's just one guy who is obsessed with the DXfag and decided to spend his life shitposting on X.
he even admitted that he has hatred for OP

>>23330449
>There's nothing special about this. Manga are a dime a dozen in Japan. Each and every Gundam production has had one.
I mean, yeah, but both of those were made years after the show was over. I'm not talking about side-manga that are launched right alongside the show before they even know how it's reception will be (Well, X had that too with the tv adaptation manga that also had a manga-exclusive Jamil backstory chapter).

>X is the best example of "nobody cared, let's forget about it, moving on...". Even Turn A got a cult audience,

In the NHK poll, X beat

>Build Fighters
>V
>ZZ
>Thunderbolt.
>G-Reco
>AGE

So, it does seem like a bunch of people in Japan remember it. Obviously, it's not among the top shows, but it seems to have held up better than several series that performed better than it originally.

>>23328109
Bullshit after bullshit.

>the show had low ratings
Only at first. The reruns got fantastic ratings with teenagers. The original airing was aimed at little children.

>and the toys didn't sell well
Proved false. Clover's Gundam DX Combination set did very well in 1980.

>so it got canceled and lost many episodes.
To the benefit of the show: the staff was collapsing under the stress. Tomino admitted they barely got to 42 episodes as it was after Yas got hospitalized. Also, look for the original Tomino outline and tell me it was better than what we got.

>Clover then went bankrupt
That's an old myth. Let me cite something that Anonymous said a while ago.
>That's still a far cry from "Gundam killed Clover", which is made even more false when the entire diecast robot market was declining at roughly the same time in the late 70s/early 80s (Clover/Poplar, Poem, Nakajima, Takemi, Takatoku, Nomura stopped with diecast robots after Baldios, Tomy stopped after Ideon, even Popy was absorbed back into Bandai, etc) About the only two companies still doing it were Takara and Bandai when before there was tons of companies.
Sunrise went with Bandai to make model kits around the time of the Gundam movies to capitalize on the increasing popularity of model kits in the late 70s, a market that Clover either wasn't interested in, or didn't have the resources to get involved with.
Clover itself was around for a few years before dissolving in the mid-80s.

>>23330472
thanks for the clarification

>>23330467
X being voted #16 in a national poll is pretty good considering how even Bandai didn't care about X until Build Fighters.

>>23328266
>>23330461
Why are you pretending to be someone else, retard?

>>23330522
?

>>23330525
Even after getting called out for samefagging and using two devices to avoid suspicions you're still not smart enough to change the specific way you format your posts.

>>23330533
you know a lot about shitposting. is this how you do it?

can we have an X thread without repeating the same cancellation arguments and theories every single time?
just enjoy the show and robots

oh yeah, just unlocked Double X in A.C.E3.
but why the torso is dark blue? it's supposed to be black

>No Lalah equivalent
>Acts normal
Is that the secret? Or is it the red hair?

>>23330580
Stop necrobumping your forced thread, no one has anything interesting to say about it anymore nor wants to talk about it right now, especially not now when the currently airing show is about to end.

>>23328103
>The gunpla sold well but that came shortly after
Also worth noting that part of why Bandai picked up the license in the first place was that it caught on with mil-SF nerds, and scratch-built models started popping up in hobby magazines. Bandai were looking to get into licensed properties at the same time, saw this one with its own cult following that already had an obvious customer base for plastic kits, and the rest is history

>>23332152
No mommy issues so I think yeah

>>23330580
You reap what you sow, DXfag.

KING

>>23328109
No. The problem is that Cover delivered a toy that was only appealing to kids and the audience of the show was mostly teenagers that feel embarrased of buying it or didn't care enough. And yet, the Cover's models sold a lot on the christmas season. But at that point the series was basically over and only with 3-4 chapters left.
