Made me want a frame-for-frame reanimation of the original series.

Big gundam is based, and the mega size will be sold out in a week

I thought it really was the ring of gundam like that one thread lol

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Why isn't it called "Hyper Gundam"

I actually want a Gundam where the mechs grow like Ultraman

Kaiju sized G-3 Gundam made me happy and this series already became anime of the year. Now we can do proper Godzilla vs. Gundam! Thank you, Anno!

So Knight Gundam when he fused with Satan Gundam in SD Gundam Gaiden.

>grey/silver
it's the bluish-white of the original gunpla release

This is all a plot by Big Gundam.

>Korean’s

their what?

>Gundam QuuuuuuX appears to be just a stock Gundam at first, with a shield, beam rifle, beam sabers, and vulcans
>But it actually has more, an i-field generator built into the shield for deflecting beams, its beam sabers synchronize with its psychoframe for a variable shape, it can generate micro black holes and manipulate them via the i-field generator for defense or offense, and the micro black holes allow it to shift spacetime, allowing it to break spacetime barriers, warp, or even traverse realities
>Also it's equipped with an alternate version of the EXAM system, with the bound Newtype soul of Amuro Ray embedded in the code
>And unlike the original EXAM system Amuro is quite happy to be the QuuuuuuX/Endymion's AI, quietly supporting the Gundam's pilot
>Theoretically speaking, because these micro black holes manipulate Minovsky particle density to increase mass, the QuuuuuuX could theoretically create any weapon or weapons system it wants too, like how Lalah created Char's Zeon uniform and Shuji increased the mass of the RX-78-2 to increase its size
For what first appeared to be an ordinary and average mobile suit the QuuuuuuX is actually like a compact version of the Unicorn.

There's an Eastern/ Western franchise where that happens once and a while, and it's not always animation errors.

I read it as the final boss being the symbol of "First Gundam", the power that nostalgia, references, repetition have over the franchise. The Gundam grows huge, oppressive, towering over the new characters, and the fight is won by cutting off the iconic head, at which point the characters can live their own lives, instead of repeating the endless narrative cycle. It's not that different from Eva's message, but it's saying that if Gundam remains creatively stuck in nostalgia, just doing the same thing over and over again (Unicorn, Thunderbolt, etc.) then the story goes nowhere (and that by implication the fans who just want epic references star wars sequels style are slopgooners killing gundam. Not a big deal for /m/ since people here hate everything, but would thing that's a big thing for Japanese fans).

>>23363192
Dude. 00 executed this thing better with the final Exia R2 vs 0 Gundam fight.

>>23363192
Your reading is wrong, it's straight from Khara's mouth that having the Okawara Gundam riff on Dunbine was a result of them not beginning better ideas. And frankly even if your reading was right having a show whose primary purpose was relating nostalgia end with toothless meta commentary about how tyrannical nostalgia is pretty retarded, it was retarded when Eva did something similar too.
And here I thought the copes about the show's shortcomings actually being on purpose would end after the final episode

>>23347628 (OP)
>No bazooka
>No beam rifle
>No vulcans
>Not even allowed to use his second beam saber
>Gets bigger and easier to hit when he starts to lose
They should have cancelled the show at Episode 11. The reveal was way more hype than anything that could possibly follow.

>>23364243
The schizo theories of it shapeshifting into different UC gundams would have been better than what we actually got

>>23364251
Would have been perfect too since they were selling a 1/60 Nu. Crazy that they didn't take the chance to market it.

Reminder that Bandai thinks you'll pay $100 for the RX-78 with no guns

>>23363347
I don't think so Tim. From what I remember people were just as baffled and thought Marina needed to shut up with her retard kindergarten chorus playing over the fight.

>>23364264
I've already bought 2

>>23363192
I read it less as nostalgia setting the tone for the future to be the same story over and over again as UC being so fleshed out at this point that there's really very little left to explore. Pre-f91 UC has gone all the way to fucking Hathaway's flash at this point, in early/mid 2000s everyone agreed that Hathaway's flash was a doctoral thesis on why Hathaway is a big ol' bitch and now there's a dedicated OVA series for it. It feels like a fever dream.
Not that UC can't still produce genuine works of intrigue, but at some point you run into 3 issues:
1 - people trying to turn the series into something that it's not through a sheer mass of work(star wars extended universe/every rooster teeth ip that got a second season)
2 - self consistency
And the laziest way to resolve issue 1 and 2 is:
3 - shitty reboots with zero value to the reader (American comics/star wars again).
I know I'm going to get booed for this (I don't care, I've seen what makes you freaks cheer) but where as star wars fumbled with the force awakens, gqux feels like an injection of life into UC. The canon gqux vs legends UC timelines are much more interesting, because everyone who worked on gqux feels like a gigantic UC nerd that wants to present UC with all the polish of modern anime (let's be real even by early 1980s standards 0079 succeeded on plot not production)

>>23364290
everyone keeps saying Hathaway is a bitch or weird but I feel like that's just some meme made up and pushed by someone who read a bad translation because after watching the movie he's done nothing wrong and is in the right

>>23364290
>everyone who worked on gqux feels like a gigantic UC nerd that wants to present UC with all the polish of modern anime
I don't think it's about "the polish" of modern anime but rather just honoring what they like (in this case MSG). All the things they took from the novels and other extra material feels like nerds having a day field diacussing random lore not present in the original show, and seeing the reactions on twitter I think they pulled it off. It's nice to see those old scenes with Khara budget but I don't think their goal was "updating" or "polishing it", more like restoring or preserving by breathing new life into it.
