Thread 23377899

Your generation is retarded and sucks.

Your generation is gay and works for mine.

Honestly, Witch would have worked a lot better as a late UC story.

Your generation is going to die before 40

The Greatest Generation.

more like degeneration

>>23377899 (OP)
WfM is really the gen z's generation of gundam.

It's nothing more than a caricature of its predecessors.

Your generation will never own a home.

my first gundam was gquuuuuux
I have a career and own a home
I'm closer to 40 than 30 now and I really don't like to think about it.

>>23379264
but are you happy?

>>23379267
no...

>>23379264
Gquux isn't aimed at zoomers so it checks out.

>>23379329
It absolutely was the OP and ED alone should make it clear what audience they were trying to rope in.

My condolences

>>23379371
You are fooling yourself hard if you think the target audience was anyone other than long term (japanese) fans of the franchise.

>>23379446
The show wasn't targeting them that's why tons of people with 0 Gundam experience watched it

>>23379514
Because there is no law against it. Daddy khara isn't gonna send ninjas to your house just because you weren't the target.

As someone with 0 prior gundam experience, GQuuuuuux seemed confused about who it was for. It released on a major streaming service worldwide with day one english dubs that were honestly pretty good, and it tried to tell a kind of story with themes a lot of people can relate to, and recap movies to summarize the original series for anyone who hadn't seen it. On the other hand, those movies weren't released on the same streaming service... were they released at all outside of Japan? It doesn't explain the events of MSG1979 all that well, and the series ending with the white gundam seemed to be catering towards long time fans. I think too much of the show got cut when it was forced into only 12 episodes... the "kira-kira" is not properly explained until very late in the series, which it then turns out was not a long time Gundam concept like I thought it was. It doesn't explain "Minovsky particles" either but to my surprise, MSG1979 also doesn't do this, at least not in the first 6 episodes.

>>23377899 (OP)
unfortunately yes, this has worked better than any other ive tried to get people into gundam
not that I hate gwitch but what self respecting male likes gwitch or gcucks over the ovas or zeta or msg

>>23379862
>who is it for?
YOU. THE GENERAL AUDIENCE
>amazon prime
They are trying to reach anyone interested in gundam, who hasn't yet fully plunged into 3 aus and watched the entire uc. They want the 18 year old anime fan, who knows of gundam, but hasn't watched a whole series
>they recap 0079 but don't tell you about 0079
Except they do! Thats the point of the char episodes
>0079 movie
The 0079 movie is too old to be expected to watch. Its like disney asking you to watch the complete star wars saga prior to watching the sequels. No one except long time fans will do that.
>cut down
I don't believe any part of gqux was cut. Because of clan battle we know every episode lasted roughly a week, and 4 opponents at 4-0 is what you would need to win a 16 person single elimination tournament. Thats roughly the ammount of teams in clan battle.
>they didn't explain
Because most of the stuff like lalah, kira kira, and minovsky particles are meant to be vague and interpreted by the viewer

Also, all kira kira means is sparkle in japanese. Its not a specific gundam thing. Its about lalahs newtype magic.

I'm a zoomer and I started Gundam with 079

Genuine question for Yurifans, although I believe there are no real Yurifans here but just impostors who want to troll.

I know yuri fans are terrified of any male character on the show because they're a potential threat to the main lesbian romance, but what's their attitude toward a show that explicitly features both heterosexual and yuri romance?

Gundam has to serve a broad audience, so would Witch from Mercury have been equally accepted if the show had featured more war, action, mecha, and political intrigue, with yuri as a secondary subplot? Furthermore, if there had been a heterosexual main romance like Gquuux and a yuri sub-romance with an explicit kiss, would it still be certified Yuri?

I'm just curious to understand how it works.

>Machu tells Char that he smells like Shuji
>Shuji is a homeless man who lives in the sewers and almost certainly smells absolutely awful

>>23379993
But there was only 2 yuri scenes in gwitch.
>spaceship chase ending in hug
>suletta visiting crying miorine in her room

Theres not even a suggestion until the end they are in a relationship and suletta pursues a man shes interested in.

>>23380196
It's cool and okay, but that's not what I asked. it's a more general discussion for next shows. If Bandai wants to add yuri subplots in the future to keep those fans hooked on G.witch, can this work if the main romance is hetero? Or will these people go crazy if the show isn't built around them at all?

>>23380254
I'm not really the right sort of person to answer your questions because yuri makes me feel sad, but the yuri tones of the first episode of GQx came across like a bait and switch to hook weebs in, and I think it worked. Lesbianism has always been the model minority of the LGBT among male audiences and it's only become more accepted with the rise of vtubers, so I expect Bandai will continue to have yuri subtones and teases while avoiding full commitment to it as much as possible.

>>23380285
The reason for my question is: I saw an extreme shitstorm for G-witch and people literally freaked out every time a male character was near Suletta.

Now G-Witch has achieved its goal and we've moved on, but there were already people who were furious because GQuuux wasn't like G-witch. Is peaceful coexistence possible with this group, or should I expect people to explode every time two female characters are in the same room because of possible subtexts?

If G.Witch had maintained the premises of the prologue and dealt with the themes of that episode, I probably would have easily forgiven the Yuri part.

>>23379329
Lmfao, fucking delusional. They hired vtubers for the OP and ED alongside the fucking Pokémon trainer designer.


Gquacks has the same exact issue that AGE had in that it was flip flopping between wanting to appeal to both oldfags and newfags.

>>23380298
>vtubers and pokemon
Millennial audiences.

>>23380296
the thing about a lot of yurifags is that as straight men they are still attracted to gay women, and many of them have fantasies about being fucking a lesbian so hard she turns straight. If another man is involved, they are being cucked in their own minds; she is no longer pure. Anime can't show sex or out right affection, so it's assumed that if two characters are on screen together that they are fucking behind the scenes.

>>23380298
Bro... you know the main audience of tubers are millennials, right? Same for pokemon. Zoomers prefer fleshtubers.

gwitch is for the zoomers obsessed with cutting their dicks off
gquacks is for the zoomers two steps away from crashing out and committing genocide
simple as

>people literally freaked out every time a male character was near Suletta.
That's just our resident schizo, pay him no mind.

IBO was the first zoomer Gundam. direct all disagreement to the Ghiren's greed anon

My generation’s Gundam(it is cooler than yours)

>>23381867
Witch and Gqux had the same audience don't kid yourself.

>>23389342
Both are shit

>>23381867
gquacks is for low IQ trannies who like studio Khara faggotry
Actual men watch actual UC gundam

>>23377899 (OP)
It's kind of interesting how a person's first Gundam kind of shapes what that person feels makes a good Gundam. The sad thing is that in the west it seems a lot of people's first Gundams are either Wing or WfM, neither of which I think are near the best in the franchise.

>>23377899 (OP)
Okay Gramps, lets get you to that retirement home.

>>23380139
Yeah, but at least from Machu, it's one hell of a compliment. Char should've seized the opportunity right then and there, instead of leaving Amuro's soul in a robot to do all the grooming.

>>23377899 (OP)
The fakest and gayest generation

>>23379993
Yuritrooons have terminal AGP and don't want to look at icky moids at all. They don't actually care about the robots obviously.

>>23379210
I thought IBO was gen z's Gundam

I hate Anno. I hate Khara. I hate Tsurumaki.
