wtf is this show lmao

Rate GQuuuuuuX's finale and series.

>>23343020
This seems impossible for me to rate right now.
I'll definitely need a few years to really absorb how ass this was.
I do like it more than the early AU stuff though and it is so unapologetically "member this member that" that it's kinda soul in a way. I've put it slightly under 0083 but it's almost just as dumb. I had a good time watching this though. Can't say it's good though.

>>23343015 (OP)
>The Gundam grew giant like how Hyper made mecha giant in Dunbine and the Hyper Baronz in end of Brain Powerd
>it goes off model for a few frames like when it did in 0079 Gundam
>Machu finally has weapons and newtype hacks and uses it to make a gigantic Zieg Axe
>Shuji is pussy hungry
>Machu and Nyaaan are cock hungry

11/10

>>23343020
I'd give it an 8/10. I liked the series and it tied off all the loose ends in the end that I actually cared about. I am, however, disappointed that we didn't get to see Amuro

What the fuck was that?

Do I like Gwitch more or this?

Overall I'd say it was okay. Some parts I liked a lot, some parts I really didn't like, but it ended up being less batshit in the end than I expected. I was bracing myself for a really poorly executed Mazinger Zero ending, but most of the meta shit didn't really matter. Also glad my girl Nyaan didn't die in the end.

>>23343038
>however, disappointed that we didn't get to see Amuro

Anon I -think- we were looking at Amuro the entire series. Wasn't that Amuro's voice coming from the Gquuuuuux. Or is if Endymion now? I haven't really absorbed it all yet.

>>23343043
Nyan is so dumb to me like they set her up to be a little like Reccoa then they backpedal it significantly out of nowhere.

>>23343038
I think Amuro died in the attack at side 7 in this timeline and somehow ended up spiritually connected to the gquuuuuux.

>>23343053
Felt more like a Ridde than a Reccoa to me.

>>23343042
You like Doozybots the most

That was okay.
I didn't dislike anything that happened.
But I think I would have liked it a lot more if I was on the same page as the writers with the bug emotional moments.
Like Shuji and Machu's embrace was just kind of like... And it felt like Nyaan didn't get a lot of payoff.
When they are showing all the Char customs from the failed universes, what was the last mobile suit?

>>23343020
I'd probably give it a strong 2, light 3 out of 5.

>>23343048
Yes that's his voice. Which implies any autonomous moments were him too, like the cockpit arms.

>>23343066
It's in the style of those pieces the Evangelion mechanical designer did for CCA.

>>23343020
I genuinely want to say 1/10. I know objectively it isn't really that bad but goddamn I've never hated watching an anime this much before. I should have just dropped it instead of being morbidly curious. Can only blame myself I suppose.

I feel bad for people who bought the GQuuuuuux HG and now have to double dip just for a new head.

happy ever after

>>23343066
Everyone who hates it or loves it or anything in between seems to pretty much agrees a lot of these issues would be fixed if there were more episodes. It doesn't even have to be a lot more either. But for what it was I enjoyed the ride. I did emotionally resonate with Lalah her tragedy a lot personally. And from that I finally felt for Shuji and Machu but it was very fast paced.

I have a mobile suit question too. Was Shuji's RX78 supposed to be a reference to the novel G3? Also I can't wait to see people do Char custom colors of all the mobile suit from the scene you mentioned although I'm sure most people already have.

>>23343083
Not until Machu finds her boyfriend

holy shit

>>23343085
More episodes wouldn't think this

>>23343088
dude same thoughts kek

>>23343088
lmao

>>23343066
Yamashita's Sazabi fanart

>>23343085
Really? It just made me feel that Lalah Sune is worst girl. Worse than Quess.

>I'VE NEVER BETRAYED ANYONE IN MY LIFE
>10 TIMES BIGGER

>>23343088
kek

So why did they mention Mr. SEED man at the end? Isn't he the only time Endymion is mentioned in Gundam? I'm pretty sure they wouldn't use a name associated with an existing character just to reference a figure from mythology.

>>23343077
Is this what you mean? I dont have a screenshot of the episode handy to compare.

>>23343035
Giant Gundam was first.

>>23343020
6.5/10 overall I'm feeling nice. It was a funny fucking ride though. Wacky shit glad it got made either way glad I get to witness people seethe over it and it passed time on some tuesdays.

I was honestly hoping they'd play it straight with an alternate universe but watching the wacky bullshit unfold was fun enough.

>>23343020
0/10
Wasted several actual interesting plot threads to Lalah wank at the end

>>23343020
The series in general is a dumpster fire and a complete waste of the AU UC concept and its own cast of characters, but at least the finale doesn't elicit that feeling of "wait, that's it?" G-Witch's utter joke of an ending did.
It also gets an extra 0.5 points from me for throwing in a Zudah cameo.
In the end, not bad enough to make me angry, not good enough to make me regret it's over.

It's over. A lot of people in the audience look pissed.

That was nothing. It was literally just nothing. They sure did constantly put in a bunch of references to much better stuff I'd rather be watching instead. Everything that wasn't a reference, everything that actually belonged to the new show itself, was massively rushed and sloppy.

>>23343112
>It also gets an extra 0.5 points from me for throwing in a Zudah cameo.
damn the show must be at 10000/10 for you with all the reference and cameo shit it has

>>23343020
Better than WFM, but not particularly good. The show did not give enough time to actually tell its story and everything is way too rushed.

>>23343119
kek

Is there going to be a season 2? It feels like it was hinted pretty heavily at the end, if there is more work planned I would just prefer a movie instead of 12 measly episodes

>>23343079
>I should have just dropped it instead of being morbidly curious. Can only blame myself I suppose.

I've known people who watched all of Naruto even though they hated all if it. Hundreds of episodes. And then new spinoff At least you only had a 12 episode investment I will never understand why people drop things they hate. And I dont mean that hyperbolically because I can understand if you like some things and dislike others or are iffy on the show and its only 12 episodes or whatever and you want to critique it later but sometimes it's like people force themselves to watch shit that makes them completely sperg out.

Or maybe they're just pretending and never saw the show.

I can't wait for a few hours when all the shit posters watch the show or not and say they did. Because right now even the people who hate it like you are sensible and polite as fuck.

>>23343126
What on Earth did this shit do better than WFM?

>>23343048
I'm sorry but if we get a full fucking series of Charwank plus an entire climax of Lalahwank, the show does not get a pass for going "I-if you read between the lines, maybe we gave a crumb of Amuro!"

>>23343119
That would imply all the references and cameos are of equal value to me, which they aren't.

I'm going to say I thought it was a pretty good ending. It felt very super robo, but overall it went out with a bang. For all the shitposting last week, I was ready to throw in the towel, but they did wrap it up pretty nicely. I didn't get the same sort of post-anime depression as I got with many other shows like G-Witch and IBO, but I enjoyed it. It's not a very good show, but it was fun and wacky. I only hope they would have marketed it as a tribute to the show, instead of going for a twist.

>>23343135
WFM is just that trash.

>>23343135
Character writing.

>>23343091
Is More Episodes a Char alias I missed?

it was just like the last Alien movie
>fill to the brim of references, winks and nostalgia bait so oldfags go HEY I RECOGNIZED THAT THING
>relies so hard on that cheap narrative trick it forgot to build its own, thus the whole plot, characters and tale it tries to convey barely has any identity

amazing how every new gundam show ends up being worse and worse

>>23343146
machu nyaan and shuji don't have characters

>>23343020
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeEIgsbA_q0

>>23343144
I don't think it's trash...

>>23343135
>>23343144
I am going to be 100% and say I would rather have Char Aznable written like a retard than any character from WFM.

>>23343020
I'm actually impressed they were able to give it a rational, by the series standards, ending.
But the plot is so shallow you could fit it in 5 episodes, which is ironic considering most people (me included before the ending) think more episodes would have helped. The rest is nothing, barely any world building, a few nostalgia trips and a bunch of nonsensical teen drama.
It's a series with a few cool designs that will ultimately be forgotten quicker than g-witch.

Who’s machu’s Dad?

NEW JUMBO GRADE RX-78-2 WHEN

Show was hot garbage but I love that number 1 char simp Challia immediately wanted to dump him for Sayla

>>23343083
Remember when people were coping about how poorly developed these 2 where by saying they intentionally had next to no screentime together to show how shallow their relationship was and thats why they fell out. I wonder what those people think now after the last 2 episodes lmao
Its just sincerely that poorly written, there was no 200IQ intentional layer behind it

>>23343165
Tem

>>23343099
Well firstly I just got obsessed Brain Powerd while watching GQuuuuuux and I love crazy Tomino women, and secondly it speaks to the denial and begging stage of death, grief and loss so I love this shit. It goes so well with time travel and parallel universe stories.

>>23343163
As I said last week. Studio Khara never a gave a shit about the world they created or even their OG characters. They just wanted worst girl Lalah to end up with Char.

>>23343158
And I think WFM is irredeemable garbage. We're just be disagreeing.

>>23343020
I'll forget it by next week/10

>>23343163
Interesting enough, it had the same problem that WFM had for it's first half : They were playing it like the series was way bigger than it actually was, and then the plot had to catch up in the final 4 episodes. I think that Gquuux tied it up way better than WfM, but it's still lacking.

Remove Machu and Nyaan and just make Char the main character and everything works better

>>23343163
unironically i think this could've worked better as something like an ONA like Stargazer...

>>23343105
Yes.

I swear Gundam just gets more worse with every entry

>>23343202
It would be a rare work where the main character is defeated. Just so he doesn't go full NZ.

>>23343194
Fair enough, good sir.

So all this statement is just supposed to be taken in earnest?

>>23343104
The entire Endymion mythology is about the Godess of the Moon loving Endymion so much they make the Zeus keep Endymion alive forever. There's even tons of lightning in this episode. Maybe unintentional though but yeah.

My first thought was fucking Einhander though so lol

>>23343193
So they're like 343 to Halo? Inheriting something they didn't earn and shitting the bed with it

I feel like writers genuinely fucking forget Lalah gave up on Char

>>23343227
This is not the original lalah.

lmao they never fucking bothered to reveal what it's real name actually is

>>23343227
That's where your wrong bucko.
Even in 0093 she said char was pure of heart, completely straight faced, while he commits multiple atrocities and dropped rocks onto earth.

>>23343227
Its a different Lalah. This one is from a world where Char died instead of her.

>>23343227
not THIS Lalah, didn't you watch it? The original universe is nowhere to be seen. In fact, I was under the impression that the ending would lead to the 79 universe being created at the end, that was Lalah's final goal.

>>23343020
Overall its a solid 6.5 or 7 out of 10. Anons acting like its the worst thing are being super fucking dramatic. It has its flaws and probably needed to be restructured or expanded upon (Id cut out the clan battle stuff entirely) but its core concepts are interesting, the designs are fresh, and the action sequences were well put together. The new characters didn't do much for me but enjoyed their takes on the OG characters in an alternate setting. Overall flawed, but good.

Spiderman's multiverse is better bros....

>>23343227
She didn't but they don't want to acknowledge that Lalah is a pervert who wants to get DP'd which is why she still pesters Amuro by CCA.

>>23343020
It's AGE level

>>23343136
You moved the goalpost so schziphrenicsally I feel like when the zeon bridge crew were watching the Alphacide Gundam and RX78 fight in streaks of light and had no idea what was going on.

>>23343234
it's waldo

>>23343240
I agree 100% with this.

>>23343240
For all its faults at least it wasn't fucking Comet Lucifer tier.

>>23343098
Wow, it's almost as terrible as his RX-78 redesign.

>>23343141

Yeah fan expectations I think have killed the reception on here. Every different group of /m/ autist wanted something different- if you go in looking for a pretty anime with cool robot fights then you got a good trade off.

>>23343227
The Original Lalah didn't give up on him. She wanted a threesome and she's not really some holier than thou messanic figure that Fukui, Khara and to be honest current Sunrise wants to portray as.
As>>23343242
said she has her vices too.

>>23343234
Because that is it's real name.
GQuuuuuuX > jiikuakusu > Zeek Axe
The Zeek Gundam with a big beam axe.

>>23343020
2 out of 5, this was actually stupid, for a so called UC show it looked a lot more like an original series with all the shit it pulled from it's ass.
But at least it was technically well made.

>>23343020
It was entertaining. Not the best Gundam series by any means but I actually had fun watching it.
Agree with >>23343240 too, I don't know exactly what everyone else was expecting, but a lot of posts act as if the show was satan itself.

>>23343234
It's Gundam Endymion or something idk

>>23343202
>>23343240
This. Would have focused more on the 0079 characters as they unravel the nature of their world. Machu and Nyaan were cute and had their moments but splitting time between them and all the other characters didn't do much to help establish them as new leads. I agree with the rating of around 6.5-7/10

>>23343169
If you didn't get why it was very obviously the newtype bullshit making him have premonitions about Char's Counterattack.

>>23343262
They never claimed it was UC

>>23343258
But who is the original Lalah?
Maybe 0079 is yet another universe created by THIS Lalah

>>23343234
These fuckers had not payoff lol.
Even the woman in charge of the Pomeranians just had to eat crow, since Machu actually stayed further away from death after leaving the clan battles. It being presented as Machu losing her innocence meant nothing. She was literally able to stay true to herself better after leaving them.

>>23343240
>>23343263
I wasn't expecting a giant gundam that's for sure.

>>23343270
I know that was the reason, I still thought it was funny. I assumed his char boner would win over all the genocide like lalah overlooks when she said CCA char is a hero

>>23343015 (OP)
Evangelion.

>>23343214
Neat

>>23343270
I WATCHED THE MOVIE, CHAR!!

I SAW IT

I SAW YOU!


YOUR MOM?! YOU FUCKING DEGENERATE

>>23343267
>Endymion
Definitely not Fuuuruuuya and sailormoon related.

>>23343272
It was an alternative UC timeline from the start, it's not hard to understand.

>>23343234
Wasn't it the Endymion? Chalia namedrops it during a fight but I'm not 100% on that.

>>23343020
REALLY REALLY needs more episodes/10
I can see the skeleton of a decent show but the absolute lack of fleshing out is just .......eh....?

I am at a loss for words, this is doujin-tier plot.

>>23343234
It's probably Endymion

>>23343291
he called the Omega Psychommu the "Endymion System", but it could just be the psycommu name, it also being the gundam's name is maybe implied.

>>23343015 (OP)
leaned wayyy too hard into nostalgia, more than any other show

>>23343291
Oh so it's both a SEED reference and a Sailormoon reference at the same time.
They also had 00 reference with the final battle being RX-78.

>>23343020
Objectively a 6/10 at best.

It felt like Bandai gave Khara 12 episodes to do the Mav stuff (which would've been enough), but Khara decided they wanted to justify Char and Lalah in such a roundabout way, so they had to rush it and both plot lines ended up half-baked.

Despite all that though, I got what I wanted. Shuji and Machu kiss, and Nyaan doesn't die, so ultimately I'm happy and satisfied

>>23343020

I think we can all agree that gquuuuuux's really name is the GeX so we can forget that canceled failure Gundam X already

>>23343127
source of pic?

It's 5/10 it's average and entertaining like a summer blockbuster. Don't think hard about it.

>>23343285
You are joking but Machu literally could see clips of Mobile Suit Gundam in the kirakira

I guess we finally know where all the footage of the Dark History in Turn A came from now

>>23343201
I think it's the opposite. The first season was very contained and focused on the characters only for the second to mostly throw all of that away for a world-ending superweapon (two, really) on top of a contrived soap opera plot development that people had been predicting since the second episode. It would have been a lot tighter if they kept the stakes relatively low in terms of the greater geopolitical implications (although okouchi probably would have found a way to wreck the train anyways). Gcucks just feels like an extremely expensive charxlalah fanimation with some OCs thrown in to justify its existence and sell some merch.

>>23343020
>mashu was cute
>mursame was cute
>Xavier should have his own show
>had a lot of potential but the show ends up going way too hard on the 0079 wank
>not enough episodes

not the worst thing I have seen/10

>>23343303
That is objectively untrue when Gundam The Origin exists

>>23343015 (OP)
Where is this Char

>>23343292
>this is doujin-tier plot
Who would've thought that a Gundam show made by a bunch of Gundam otaku would feel like a fanfic.

>>23343317
He needs a character first to have his own show.

Would she have been a good mother to Char?

It it 2025, and Gundam is still reciting gender politics from the 1980s.

I feel like if you aren't watching this show while it's running this show is worthless.

the best part about quacks was the week's worth of speculation inbetween episodes.

>>23343317
>>mursame was cute
ALright, this is the ONE thing I'm still salty about. I'M STILL SEETHING OVER HOW DEUX WAS WASTED.

>>23343331
In the end it didn't payoff the speculations just like Lost, so was it really good? Someone doing a marathon will probably like it more without all the theories that lead to nowhere since the show didn't deliver.

Ending was 2fast4me and had some spectacularly stupid shit in it but eh, I had fun. I’d say this is like the Gundam equivalent of fast food burger. Not exactly nutritious or good for you but it tastes good and fills a hole. I’d give it like a 6, 6.5/10?

>>23343327
Hilarious to think that she could've avoided all this by meeting a nice blonde gentleman and having kids with him

>>23343335
mista bushido

The show was made by people salty that Haman has become the most popular love interest for Char over Lalah

>>23343333
if this show was 24 seasons long she would go somewhere.
the more I think about this show I discover more holes and wasted potential, even if this show is 24 episodes long this means the first 12 will have to be about clan battle and ends with machu fighting murasame and that would suck quite badly, ugh this fucking show

So why does Shuji have like meta knowledge of everything? He just has Newtype visions to tell him everything?
Even if he's s Lalah simp I don't get how his crazy journeys even started. How did he conclude that he needed to kill Lalah the first time? How did he know it would erase a dream and not just kill the real her?

>>23343292
When was the last Gundam animated series that didn't feel horribly rushed? You'd think Bandai would have figured this out by now.

>>23343355
Lalah would fuck Haman up.

Thinking about how I fucking hate multiverse writing, it's pretty rancid that about every time it winds up centering around some big popular event from the franchise as the only thing that ever mattered. Out of all of gundam, the only thing that was ever really important in any meaningful way, is that char and lalah had a thing for like 6 months and then she died.
Amuro didn't even seem to think it was that major of a deal, he moved on with his life. This was just char's hangup.
Holy shit imagine that char shouting "she could've been a mother to me!" was actually an assessment of the most important event in the multiverse by the most important man in the multiverse. This mothercon's feelings were so powerful they affected time and space itself.

>>23343333
Should of had a stinger scene of her slurping noodles at that place Nyaan went to.

>>23343323
Daicon started with the most reference laden thing I have ever seen in my life and they never stopped as Gainax or even Trigger and Khara. And they are still going and people are surprised. It's like looking down your pants and being surprised by your own dick.

>>23343344
>In the end it didn't payoff the speculations just like Lost
I had fun reading the speculation at least and it wasn't as bad as Lost since they delivered a lot more closure here and quacks was way shorter.

Lost is more like being spun in place on an office chair but quacks' speculation at least had a direction to go towards.

>>23343357
Because shut the fuck up and clap when you see rx-78-2

>>23343355
For me it's Nanai.

>>23343355
It feels like Fukui and Khara are fighting with Hamanfag writers. The suits at the top don't really care.

>>23343357
also we still didn't know how quacks-Char escaped the zeknova wormhole either

>>23343369
Did they? I still don't know who Shuji is. Also can we get a timeline where Amuro gets to have a kid?

>>23343376
Because lalah protected him

>>23343344
>In the end it didn't payoff the speculations just like Lost, so was it really good

I've seen people bitch and moan that their fanfics didnt come true ever since 2003 with The Matrix. Fan speculation is only fun if you dont take it that seriously enough to think you will 110% be right. Sometimes they're insane too like Ultimecia = Rinoa.

>>23343355
Post the real screencap.

>>23343376
>Zeknova teleports shit to "the otherside"
>lol no it doesn't it just moves it around this side... I guess? Fuck you clap for Grandpa.

>>23343380
>Also can we get a timeline where Amuro gets to have a kid?
No. Idol figures cannot have kids.

>>23343380
I said a lot more, not all of them.
you brought out lost and IIRC (that shit was 20 years ago and I watched it as a kid) only delivered like 20-30% of the mysteries they threw out. Quacks while riddled with holes was a 60% to me.

>>23343394
This is rich coming from Haman considering her head looks like a pencil eraser

>>23343357
>So why does Shuji have like meta knowledge of everything
Who knows. They didn't explain anything about Shuji. Shuji had no personality the whole show. You're meant to go pog wild when he kisses Machu however. Don't forget that he piloted the Gundam, drawn in the style of the original show!

>>23343390
Yeah but for GQuuuuuux it was more about people just trying to figure out what the hell is happening. It wasn't just for fun. It was trying to tell up from down.

>>23343376


>Lalah wants a world where Char survives
>Char goes back to her world in a Zeknova
>Sends him back so he can survive in his world with a Zeknova because she can do that.

Unless you're talking about something else and not before the show started

>>23343394
At least put more effort into lining up the text direction with the textbox, friend.

>>23343380
>Amuro having a kid
>he became an aloof, distant father unintentionally
>now he can't bitch about his parental issues anymore

>>23343369
>>23343390
Exactly, I just commented that because some friends were watching Lost that didn't back then, and they finished it with a lot of praise.

>>23343394
Why do you always do this? How autistic are you?

>>23343370
>shut the fuck up and clap

Red Letter Media has been a disaster to media critique and analysis. They clapped like that at The Force Awakens and recently with Picard Seasom 3 for some reason so it's hard to take that meme seriously.

>>23343380
>Also can we get a timeline where Amuro gets to have a kid?
We got that in 1988

>>23343403
He kinda has chill himbo vibes at the start but I guess that was an actual.

I am convinced they were paid to love TFA since the mouse knew he was the plinkett guy I guess.

>Better Than SEED
SEED for all its faults and "muh 0079 homage" at least has the balls to stand on its own 2 legs.

>>23343450
Its like if Thelma and Loius got a happy ending

I'm weirdly OK with it.

>>23343026
stardust is better if nothing else than making so many 10/10 mech designs. not "oh i like this a lot so i think its good" but as close to unanimously as you can get awesome looking shit made for something so short and simple.

i dont think anything about 0083 was any more retarded than half the stuff going on plot wise in the orginal gundam show. i couldnt even finish that. got like 60% through maybe 70%

>>23343438
SEED stands on its own legs as much as Daryl does. It's garbage and does not deserve to be considered a Gundam.

>>23343480
Suletta alone is better than anyone in Quacks.

>>23343015 (OP)
It was thoroughly Gundam while at the same time itdid a lot of things Gundam doesn't usually do. Good show

>>23343450

What character writing? This show doesn't have any at all except arguably Challia.

>>23343450
A Baoa Qu. Axis is still mining shit

>>23343480
Season 1 is very good if you don't mind it being set mostly in school and with very little killing going on. It has a lot of background intrigue and focuses on characters and relationships. Season 2 slams on the brakes and then floors the gas into a brick wall, but at least has a happy ending I guess. Suletta is cute.

genuine 10/10, the first one since Turn A.

>>23343085
I know everybody is saying "we needed more episodes!!!" but really the issue is that it wasted too much fucking time with plots and themes that didn't go anywhere in the 12 episodes it had and don't have much to do with the actual main theme that it starts and ends on
it has the exact same G-Witch pacing of a slow first half and a second blitz-speed half, but I don't know what their excuse is for doing that in a single-cour show

>>23343135
Gquuuuux is objectively worse than G-Witch from a basic plot and storytelling standpoint but at least the characters and dumb shit at the end were more entertaining than most of the babby's first gundam stuff happening in G-Witch, and Bob wasn't enough to redeem all that

>>23343257
>Every different group of /m/ autist wanted something different
they brought that on themselves when the show deliberately flirts with "UC what if-scenario", "underground arena battles", "cold war political intrigue gundam" and multiverse shenanigans without delivering on any of them

>>23343020
Utter goddamn fucking tripe.

So Amuro (post CCA) newtypes a universe where Lalah lives who then newtypes universes where Char lives but they eventually fuck up and Shuji kills Lalah to start her cycle again and the only reason the cycle doesn't continue is because Amuro is tired of killing her. Kind of surprised they didn't lead it to Lalah needs to kill herself to stop/start the cycle thus doing 0079 again which starts the whole cycle again.

>>23343553
But enough about SEED.

>>23343552
Yeah, GQ is like 3 different interesting gundam story prompts jostling for screentime and then they instead decided on a multiverse meta narrative which was by far the worst one.

>>23343450
>She nuked
It wasn't a nuke.

>axis
It wasn't Axis. It was A Baoa Qu, a Zeon military base. Not a civilian center.

>and just gets to walk away and have the funny beach ending with a bitch she had no chemistry with to the very end?
The attack was ordered by Kycilia, who paid the price with her life. The Yomagn'tho and GFreD were destroyed, the Elmeth returned to its universe, and Nyaan clearly isn't part of the Zeon military anymore at the end.

This is like complaining that Bright obliterated the Titans fleet with Gryps 2, or Uso destroyed the Zanscare fleet with the Keilas Guile. I can't even tell if it's bait anymore.

A nothingburger with memberberry sauce. Waste of fucking time. Insultingly bad.

>>23343015 (OP)
This thing is like 26 episodes bare minimum squeezed into 12
It's incredibly schizophrenic

>>23343570
>I was just following orders!!!
Oh please

>>23343555
Or more simply put, lalah is on her cycle and makes it everyone else's problem.

>>23343552
>but really the issue is that it wasted too much fucking time with plots and themes that didn't go anywhere in the 12 episodes it had and don't have much to do with the actual main theme that it starts and ends on
You say this but I think they were actually moving the plot at a decent speed plot-wise up until the last 2 episodes and if you don't count the flashback episodes.
one thing I will give credit towards Quacks was that even when the show is talking about nothing it at least FEEL like it's going somewhere and is not just the plot spinning you in a circle.

>oh fuck right Mavs uh okay Machu asks Nyaan to be Mav real quick!
>Final battles are two 1vs.1 fights anyways

>>23343579
So why aren't you complaining about Bright or Uso? A Baoa Qu is NOT a civilian installation.

I appreciate G-reco more every year. I still think its flawed and I still have problems with it but at least it was like... doing shit for the most part. Gcucks is like if g-reco was NOTHING but the pointless jaburo pull at the end.
Nyan in uniform was kinda cute and I wanted to fuck machu's mother until she cries but other than that I can say I got quite literally nothing from it and will not think about anything from it aside from the formerly mentioned elements ever again

What a utterly dog ass show. The various characters that weren't outright killed were just dropped and forgotten. Now we're going to have to put up with redditors and consoomers defending this heap as the epitome of Gundam for the next decade. The only thing worse will be them trying to claim OG U.C. is now a marvel tier multi-verse.
>>23343467

>>23343519
>>23343557
Why are you trying to deflect to SEED so hard?

It really feels like this series either needed more time or needed to lean into the Clan Battle plot or the "alternate UC" plot more fully. The weird multiverse thing doesn't really work and all we end up with is a bunch of loose threads and unsatisfying plot resolutions.

>>23343601

With how surgery the ending was, and the lack of major character death in the second half, I'm surprised they kept the one character who was the most pitiable dead. I was expecting things to get way darker after they killed off a kid and everyone treated like business as usual, similar to how ZZ got darker once they started treating Ple like just another enemy soldier to be killed or basically the entirety of IBO. In most Gundam, fighting and killing young pilots is treated as a big deal (see Nicol in SEED, or Quess in CCA).

>>23343611
The best part of the episode was the RX-78 going off model in that fight. Also Shuji calling it "The real gundam" and everyone freaking out.
And then two top of the line 0085 super prototypes got slapped around by it.

>>23343622
I straight up expected Nyaan and Shuji to die, honestly.

>>23343285
It will always be hilarious that Amuro's last conscious thought was essentially "what the fuck?"

>>23343570
>can't even tell if it's bait anymore.

Ask yourself this. Do you think anons who post here especially under 29 have actually watched any older mecha anime? And if they did was it on x2 speed?

So who the fuck is Shuji in the original universe, and why is he piloting the original Gundam? Is he supposed to be Amuro somehow? I don't get it.

Even Tomino felt bad enough about Quess to retcon her death in the novel and special, and Quess was annoying as hell. Deux was way more sympathetic, despite having barely any screen time as she never had a choice in being a pilot or getting experimented on.

>>23343656
He is probably NOT from the original universe.
Some jap speculated he is the first Gundam pilot in a different universe prior to 0079.
Someone ended up like the ALICE System and RITA.

>>23343630
Japan is faster at making memes than GQuuuuuuux cramming plot into 12 episodes

>>23343135
It didn't completely cater to the lowest common, worst denominator

I was mashing F5 waiting for the show to be ready. I am so lucky I decided to watch this without distractions. Thank you GQUUUX for having such a mediocre ending that I saved myself from eating goyslop. I think I'm going to live like a human moving forward, I've had all the junkfood I'll want for a lifetime from watching this show alone.

A shitty, pointless final battle with no feelings behind it. All so empty.

so 0 kills right?

>>23343570
Keilas Guile and Gryps 2 were used to target enemy millitary in the middle of battle.
Nyaan used the Yomagnus thing to nuke (fuck you, nitpicker) friendlies in a surprise attack.
And she didn't do it because of Kycilia's orders or because she has a grudge against Zeon, she did it purely on a chance that it would summon the purple hobo - an explicitly selfish reason and with no consideration of the consequences of her actions like a complete schizo sociopath.
She also, in case you conveniently forgot, murdered innocent and completely non-threatening scientists that worked on the installantion right before that.

>>23343698
How is she's still dying her hair and shaving her armpits if she's a runaway criminal without a job?

I did find it funny that Kycillia is basically Char in this show, just more outspoken about what the end goal is

>>23343480
I enjoyed it. Its its own thing, has a complete storyline, and some great designs.

>>23343707

Lalah would let Char do Anal sex on her, and even accept ass to mouth. Haman literally cannot compete.

>>23343104
It’s Furuya’s character from Sailor Moon

>look at me mom! I'm attacking the Ideon!

>>23343739
Because she was a prostitute until Char found her?

>>23343724
I agree mostly but it really isn't a complete story. How the fuck did Amuro end up in gqux, is it MSG Amuro? Is it local universe amuro with oo-parts? How did the other oopart came to be in gqux? How did he plan to start leading Machu through the initial text and subsequent happenings? Does Comoli enjoy missionary sex while simultaneous orgasming with me as she leglocks and hold hands and locking eyecontacts?

I have so many questions.

>>23343104
>In Greek mythology, Endymion was a strikingly handsome mortal, often depicted as a shepherd, hunter, or king, who was beloved by the moon goddess Selene (Luna in Roman mythology). Selene, captivated by his beauty, asked Zeus to grant Endymion immortality, which was granted in the form of eternal sleep, ensuring his perpetual youth and allowing Selene to visit him nightly. This myth is a classic tale of love, beauty, and the enduring power of sleep

>>23343452
oh just kill me

>>23343745
Sure yeah
Also Lalah would happily drink Char's piss
Even with her eyes open too and she doesn't blink when the piss splashes into her eyes.

>>23343750
disrespectful baka

I can't believe Sayla had Garma and his family assassinated in order to usurp the throne

>>23343701
>fuck you, nitpicker
Fuck you for getting details wrong. You're still getting them wrong!

>friendlies
The moment Kycilia decided to usurp control of Zeon all of Gihren's officers became her enemy. A Baoa Qu is one of Gihren's fortresses. They are NOT friendlies.

>And she didn't do it because of Kycilia's orders
Wrong again, she DID do it on Kycilia's orders. Kycilia provided her with instructions on how to reach the Yomagn'tho control center, how to activate the main cannon, and the target coordinates. Kycilia directly told her she wanted Nyaan to make more Zeknovas. It was Nyaan who had misguided beliefs that this would bring Shuji back in the process, which was not Kycilia's intent.

>She also, in case you conveniently forgot, murdered innocent and completely non-threatening scientists that worked on the installantion right before that.
Said scientists were instructing her to stay away from the Rose while insulting Kycilia at the same time. Nyaan being told to eliminate all resistance is hardly a far-fetched claim, especially when she's known to be unfettered and willing to open fire to protect herself.

This show was so underwhelming that I fully expect everything else that follows to be underwhelming.
GTA6 will probably suck ass thanks to Anno.

I feel like tomino made his stance on this type of shit you're arguing about clear with stuff like the photon torpedo scene in g-reco.

>>23343768
I'd fucking laugh if Garma ends up as the Feddie president down the line that timeline.

They should have cancelled this show after Episode 11. I knew they would never be able to live up to the RX 78 showing up.
It didn't even blend into episode 12. Last second it showed up just in front of them. Then now its far away and has to fly towards Lalah and Char is suddenly far enough away to go after Kycilia? Maybe there's an A and B team and the retards in charge of doing ep 12 couldn't live up to the other guys.

So 0079 isn't the "original" universe? I thought it was implied to be with the frames from it during kira-kira, but then the flashback happens and Amuro kills Char in it...

>>23343802

>>23343783
>Said scientists were instructing her to stay away from the Rose while insulting Kycilia at the same time.
Lmao. Funny that you accuse others of shitposting and then say dumb shit like this.
I'm not doing court marial here, I'm judging character motivations and she outright states why she's doing what she's doing, which you conveniently ignored.
I'm not arguing anymore since you clearly pretend to be retarded.

>>23343810
Oh fuck off you stupid pajeeta

>I need to protect lalah from char since she's shuji's precious no hito!
>char actually wants to peacefully send lalah back and shuji wants to kill her.

I can't hate on Lalah when I hear Keiko Han's voice. No wonder Char turned into a mommyfag, I would be one too

>>23343824
Episode 12 feels like it was written by someone else

>>23343824

>>23343824
>the show never resolves the Space Goddess Lalah's issues
>the only character who changed the world is Challia (for killing Kycilia and planting Artesia in power)
>Machu and Nyaan were bystanders through and through

On the one hand, this was truly terrible and I want the time I spent watching it back. On the other hand, when they literally hired the pokemon character designer and had an mc that looks like this I feel like they were essentially advertising that it was a show for babies and I should have expected nothing less than the equivalent baby smashing some of its favourite old toys together. So you could say its really all on me for not understanding the spade was going to be a spade

>>23343824
Episode 12 felt like it soft retconned stuff from 11. Even how the RX-78 appeared.

I don't think Char getting his happy ending with Lalah is a very happy ending, yet this show seems to pretty much imply it is. Did these guy's not watch 79 and CCA? He's not supposed to be a real hero

>>23343814
>Funny that you accuse others of shitposting and then say dumb shit like this.
I haven't done this. Stop arguing with the version of me that exists in your head.

>I'm judging character motivations and she outright states why she's doing what she's doing
Yes, she does what she does because she's naive and doesn't understand the full picture. She's likened to a stray dog, looking for a home. Kycilia tamed her and turned her into an attack dog, but got bit in turn when she turned her gun on the dog's friend. You even posted her second target on Earth, but that fact that it was Earth didn't even register to Nyaan, she just thought that she needed a bigger Zeknova, and Challia attributed the blame of her trying to destroy the Earth to Kycilia, who DOES know better.

>I'm not arguing anymore since you clearly pretend to be retarded.
Nor am I pretending anything. You're making up perceptions based on incorrect assumptions and then getting mad when they're called out. Try actually watching the show instead of halfassing it.

>>23343854
>the only character who changed the world is Challia (for killing Kycilia and planting Artesia in power)
Char killed Kycilia, basicallly did a repeat of his OG kill but in the Red Gundam.

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX is over. Thank you Mr. Tsurumaki for showing how unlimited creativity and freedom make for the best show, just like the original Gundam. You understand the meaning of a true Newtype, maybe you are one?

>>23343854
>the show never resolves the Space Goddess Lalah's issues
Yeah, what the hell even happened? Lalah woke up and just fucked off on her own.
Why did Shuji need to kill her before she woke up in the first place?
I get the "true newtypes don't need someone else to protect them" so Shuji was wrong for "coddling" Lalah but that's kinda... bare bones?
And for someone who's supposed to be completely broken mentally Lalah was perfectly normal after waking up?
I don't get it.

>I have to go now. My planet needs me

>>23343867

>Mote: Lalah died on the way back to her home universe

>>23343892
subversion!

At least the show didn't end up being a "muh refugees" wank like I thought it was gonna be when that shit appeared early on
They basically abandoned that plotpoint

>>23343867

>>23343907
i think that plotpoint was more to establish that nyaan was easily able to fall into kycilia's influences due to a yearning for a place of belonging

Why the fuck was Shuji characterized as this "It's fun so I don't mind!" wistful spirit for most of his on screen appearances when it's ultimately revealed that he's on a terrible mission and has to keep reliving the experience of killing the girl he loves to, in his words, protect her?
Why does look and sound just as confused as everyone else at the zeknova in episode 7 if he's apparently done this countless times?

Damn, Shuji has a higher kill count than Ezelcant from AGE.

>>23343885
Challia gave her the script so she could catch up before the show ended.

>>23343732
Why did Lalah starting to wake up make Deux go berserk anyways?

>>23343854
Char did that.

>>23344002
>Challia didn't accomplish any of his goals lol
The Zabis are dead. I'd call it mission pretty much successful.

>>23344002
he made Char do a Final Shooting pose with him, and also said he watched CCA.

So that warrants him wearing Char's mask in the ending scene, I reckon.

>>23343608

>>23343686
Nostalgiatards who clap when they see old thing they like are the lowest common denominator

Holy fucking ESL, leave this place and go to a site that speaks whatever jungle gibberish that you were unfortunate enough to be born in.

Machu cause she said a true newtype doesn't need protection, which made Lalah realize she was supposed to die if she wanted Char to live (for a few more years at least).
Because somehow, even after countless universe rewriting, she never realized that.

>>23344804
I got the opposite of what you stated from the same "a true newtype doesn't need protection" phrase. She realizes that Char shouldn't need her protecting and prolonging life in all these universes, because in her universe, despite how similar to MSG it is, it is different because Char gets killed, not her. Her timeline is still alternate from TV/MSG. Her realization at the end only allows her to go back and undo Zeknovas and just let things play out (from Char's death). She's not going to travel back even further to reenact how it originally played out where she shields Char from Amuro.

It's not Amuro, it's Tuxedo Mask

So what was the insert song for this episode?

He probably destroyed his universe by going as fast as the Big Rigs truck in reverse.

>Char's Zudah goes so fast it caused it's own axis shock

>>23345254
What a way to go out

>>23343449
>It went so fast it hit the ELS

it's a thing Sunrise has been building up since Gundam Unicorn with more exploration in the occult. The Neo Zeong and it's psycho-shard also have a similar explanation of "not being from this world"is similar to this.

>Did these guy's not watch 79 and CCA? Genuine question since people skip them nowadays, did you watch anything besides 79 and CCA? Char's whole arc is that he tried to be a hero and the world completely beat him down. In '79 he fights to kill the Zabis for ruining his life and murdering his father (thereby permanently staining the reputation of his ideals), and he's even willing to let that slide and push for Newtypes to become dominant up until he gets an opportunity to kill Kycilia (After he talks with Amuro and Sayla). It's in Zeta that we see him genuinely try to 'be a real hero' via the AEUG, and that dream of his is destroyed in Z and desecrated further in ZZ. CCA doesn't show us a villain so much as it shows an utterly broken man who's trying to kill himself while desperately attempting something horrible for the sake of Newtypes.
He's not right but that doesn't mean the guy wasn't thoroughly fucked over from birth, and you only see that if you watch the other shows.
Letting him have a happy ending where he's completely away from all that and just gets to live while the unburdened pursue the Newtype dream is a happy ending.

I wish Kycilia-sama was my mommy!

Ending's a 7/10. It was insane and barely made any sense, but goddamn, it was really entertaining.
The series' a 5/10. The first half with the whole clan battle thing could have been trimmed a lot more and most of the characters are just boring/unlikable.

the chink leaker said something about a sequel movie in production but not sure it's reliable yet.

>>23343555
I think they are saving who Shuji is for a movie because he seemed to be there when Char dies and doesn't know who the fuck is Amuro. Maybe the Rose of Sharon Universe was created by Amuro to save Lalah and spiralled into this with Shuji+Lalah slaying timelines because got out control. In this one Machu existed and she's somewhat Shuji's newtype soulmate who shatters the Lalah tie, and Amuro seems to be the one wingmaning them.

>>23346420
The same leaker who said machu saw au gundams like exia and freedom in visions?
