I have mixed feelings about this. While I don't mind the idea of a UC setting where Zeon wins (and I don't mind the presence of some historical characters), I don't really like the idea of bringing in parallel universes, magic and temporal anomaly.
>>23330734 My personal bigger problem is that this is clearly more like an homage/anniversary project, but the marketing gave us a completely different picture of it. I wouldn't have minded any of this, if they had just went in and confessed it's celebrating 45th Anniversary or something like that.
>>23330519 (OP) I find it really funny how they hand drawn the RX-78, it is as if they are implying that hand drawn animation is superior to this fake cgi.
>>23331359 It's just to make it clear that this is the original Rx-78-2. If they had done it in CG, it would have looked different. Some would even joke that it was the Rx-78 from Origins.
>>23332921 Meteor has a set purpose within CE that is always adhered to (whenever team Kira is winning), and CE has more insert songs so it feels less out of place. BtT was the credit song for CCA, then became the opening for the TV cut of the Origin, and is now an end of episode teaser leading into the end of episode credits
>>23333127 There's a literal flock of ESL newfag zoomers from /a/ shitposting hard about the show trying to astroturf the general perception of the show, not saying there aren't actual people with actual arguments disliking the show and discussing about it but it's very obvious that there's a bunch of crossboarders spamming the same shit over and over in every other thread.
>>23333136 That's just the modern /a/ userbase. Why are you still there?

>>23332959 Meteor seems to have stronger association because of how often it was used in Destiny versus the one or two times Vestige was used (outside of the Special Edition OPs replacing Wings of Words). Although it was weird to hear Meteor playing for Shinn in Seed Freedom.
>>23333295 how do you basedface at soulless epic references and then call someone else a redditor? You should pick up Star Wars if you haven't already bro
>>23333295 Reddit are the ones going on about how this whole show is just an amazing thank you and jerk off session to Tomino while having never watched a single one of his shows
>>23333295 This entire show is made for people who's only knowledge of Gundam is tik tok clips and youtube shorts so they can feel like they know anything about the series

i think the reason there's such a divisive reaction about this show is because there's a good chunk of gundam fans who believed their series is above Hollywood tier shit so to get a show that's entirely nostalgia baiting and bland references is prolly setting them off. Retards comparing this to far better shows like Unicorn, Turn A and Build Fighters prolly aren't helping
>>23333338 I think thats likely the chance. It's gundam fans trying to make a gundam show and just re-using things they liked without really understanding why those things worked

>>23333365 Unicorn definitely has better fights and music, I'll give him that. Although I'm not really sure if I want to call GQuuuuuuX good or bad until the finale airs.

>>23333332 I don't hate the show but the show have major issues. The episode runs which leads to quick pacing not enough development and the clan battle subplot feels pointless afterwards
>>23333394 wasn't gqux in production prior to g witch?

Well, it turns out this show was always a sort of "Zoomers (Machu + Nyaan) react to UC" - The Show. The clan battles weren't there to develop the setting or the characters, they were just a way to parade some UC characters around.
>>23335247 Its 12 episodes of Anno Tsurumaki and Enokido having a group JO session

>>23335180 Can't wait for Maachu to be the sole survivor only to be captured by TITANS insurgents and brutally gangraped for 12 eps on the next seasoon. My favorite is the anal training on episode 5 where they force her to take an obscene amount of enema and hold it her swollen tummy so she can pretend its Shuuji's baby!!!!
Riko Hoshino as Machu for the inevitable JAV remake

The saxophone solo in the middle of the song always makes me laugh. I always picture Char in full mask and helmet jamming out, super imposed on the screen as the green aura shimmers around the Earth.
>>23330519 (OP) >boomer director uses song as a metaphor for Gundam moving on past Char and Amuro and the franchise as a whole advancing >genx creators literally can't move on past 1990 and made the metaphor about literal time travel to keep returning to their favorite characters and time period what a fucking embarrassment of a franchise.
>>23336633 End of OYW Amuro could beat everyones asses if it's him inside the gundam Otherwise the gqqux should win, it has the technological advantage
>>23336633 He will get UNDERSTOOD and the plot will predictably fizzle out . Screencap this post and reread it on tuesday

>>23336640 technological difference in the show is a crock of shit, outcomes are based on drama and everything is different than what you would expect of it since it's a different timeline with time and space magic bringing things together

>>23337483 Are we going to get a Solo ASWS thing where Shuji lives in the RX-78-2 passively through a retcon and that explains why Amuro said Goodbye to the gundam because it was really Shuji talking to him the whole time?

the show will end with a live action zoom out of someone sitting at his desk, custom model kit recently finished, imagining his own gundam story. he will then put the model on his shelf with a bunch of other custom builds

>>23330519 (OP) this is so symptomatic of khara everything they do from the over the top character design style style to that horrible spastic animation when characters run and their limbs become all rubbery just stinks of desperation and convinces me even they had no confidence in the project
