Thread 23421989

What did you guys think about Turn A Gundam?

I just finished watching this show. I’ve watched everything in production order up to it and it’s probably one of my favorites. The characters are really good and the Turn X is probably my favorite mobile suit ever. I wish some of the stuff introduced at the end like the moonlight butterfly and gym ghingham and his partnership with Guin were explored more but despite that I thought they were able to wrap it up pretty good with a lot of subtle nuance and intelligent dialogue to make it not feel rushed.

I agree with you OP.

>>23421989 (OP)
Very good. I want Harry to make sweet, sweet love to me.

Kihel...

i want to breed that twink

Back after Destiny aired I went back to the previous serious which just happened to be Turn A and it became my favourite series. I loved the Syd Mead design, Yoko Kanno OST and weird tominoisms and world.

It's a show I love the concept of but find a bit too slow paced for my tastes. I wish I liked it more.

Is it me or does Loran look more manly here than normal.

Lucky BITCH stole my man

Is Corin from After Colony timeline? I see that Wing Zero

Apparently Tomino told them to put any Gundam there, it doesn't really matter which it was.

>>23422005 lost
>>23422055 lost

Is the Turn A or Turn X stronger? Gym kept saying that the Turn X is Turn A’s overseer but also in the dark history Turn A beat Turn X.

>>23422055
At least you're better off than Sochie.

>>23423123
whichever the writers think should win

I like Turn A but it meanders quite a bit and there's at times just long stretches of nothing substantial happening.

>>23423236
Such as?

>>23423123
Turn X was intended to be the commander/support unit to the Turn A. Kinda the same deal as the Sandrock was originally intended for the Op Meteor Gundam team.

>>23421989 (OP)
Turn A is a show I felt like I wasn't intelligent enough to fully grasp in my initial viewing.

This in contrast to Iron Blooded Oprhans, where I felt I was TOO intelligent to fully grasp it, or G-Reco, where I felt I wasn't insane enough.

>>23423593
Backwards if anything
The Turn X is speculated to be a grunt suit from whoever made it, that’s why it’s designed for every part to be detachable and replaceable and why it was allowed to just drift through deep space

Haven't watched, but I did watch the Retcon_404 video about it before I committed to a watch. ... Decided against it.

Reason why is, well, I don't like post apocalypse fantasy settings. For whatever reason, I find them depressing, especially when it's a continuation of a series from before said apocalypse. Feels like a massive middle finger to the original UC shows.

>hurr X is a middle finger to Y, a goontoober told me so!
Zoomer genocide when.

>>23428172
1. I'm 34.
2. I feel that way about any story in general that uses that trope. I really have no interest in watching a series where the setting is built on the ashes of a beloved previous story and setting.

>>23428150
I get you, it turned me off of Turn A as well. It's like every struggle the protagonists had before was pointless. Also, Amuro believing in humanity's potential to change was wrong, because they inevitably destroy themselves, again and again and again.

>>23428180
>>23428201
Grow up.

It's not, though. You might've learned that if you hadn't decided to let some youtuber do your thinking for you.

Thanks for putting words to what I was feeling. I'm not saying "WHY MORE WAR AFTER OTHER WAR?" Of course there will always be conflicts and wars. If you're gonna make a show that takes place so far in the future, why not make them go forward instead of backward?

Holy extra chromosomes batman!

You make no sense. You're freaking out because somebody holds an opinion you don't like?

>>23428242
The thing is, while that did originally turn me off of Turn A, it gave me a lot to consider after watching. Now, I think Turn A is at the same time, something that lends a bit of hopefulness to the other stories. No matter how bad UC can get, people will persevere, humans will never go extinct. Good people will fight and preserve what they can such that, thousands of years later, there are plenty of detailed records about all these different eras. Besides, not every story needs to be concerned about the far, far future. The here and now are far more relevant to us than the heat death of the universe. Fighting to protect what you know and care about is still valuable.

>You're freaking out because somebody holds an opinion you don't like?
I'm mildly disappointed because somebody holds someone else's opinion without bothering to form one of their own. And no, I'm not both of those posts.

My apologies. From now on, I will post a trigger warning before I make a post.

>>23428320
Oh, it's bait. My mistake.

>>23428315
What leads you to think that opinion is inorganic? People have held it even before Youtube existed.

>he disappeared after he totally wasn't samefagging
No balls.

Let's be real the UC's trajectory being the shitter is completely reasonable given how bad things are in Victory and Gaia Gear. Where it loses me is the AUs coming in.

>>23428316
Anyone who opens their post with
>Haven't watched [the topic of the thread], but I did watch [YouTube video]
deserves to be called a massive retard, and told to fuck off

Nigga you said you watched a youtube video and decided not to watch something, you literally hold no opinion over the actual show.
