Thread 23469493

I just watched the first episode and realized I still have no fucking clue what her name is. I'm sure I'll find out a name as I watch on, but still. That seems unusual.

Can you name one other Gundam series, hell, one other mecha anime period, where the protagonist's name is never stated a single time in the first episode?

I honestly couldn't tell you. I saw the movie cut for the first leg of the show. The more I hear about it, the more it sounds like that was the intended way to view that portion of the story.

They don't mention her name in the first episode.
Why the fuck did you make an entire thread for this. Are you Duel

>>23469493 (OP)
Machu!

>>23469493 (OP)
people regard her as machu

>>23469510
Gqux isn't good

Machu Kyrielight

watched episode 1 and 2 tonight. Episode 1 I wasn't crazy about, it seems like it's made for zoomers, and I say that as a zoomer. Episode 2 was nice though. Gonna keep watching it. The mech designs grew on me as the episodes went on, though I still think the gundam has too much detail in the head.

I kinda want to recommend it to my friend who only watched witch from mercury so he can finally get some exposure to UC, but also I feel like everything probably goes over your head if you're not familiar with MSG079. Also, I hope this isn't going to be more yurishit. Kind of got that impression in the first episode.

>>23482322
>I wasn't crazy about, it seems like it's made for zoomers, and I say that as a zoomer

Honest question but why do you say that? I loved it and I'm an old. There's no yuri by the way.

>>23482432
Sorry about you being old. It's just something about the overall aesthetic of the show, the music, also the smartphones.

>>23482322
you have no idea what yurishit is if you thought the first episode gave you the impression of yurishit. girls interacting != yuri.

All I know is machu owes me sex.

>>23494391
You disgust me.

>>23469501
if I had to recommend a watch order, I'd say 2->1->3-12
the Char sequence makes sense as the opener but the twist of Ep 8 is necessary for the story to land
>>23482322
you should force your friend to watch 0079 first

>>23469510
Who the fuck is Duel

>>23469493 (OP)
Fate does not seem to want me to watch this show for some reason.

>>23514391
A Fate show would be a use of your time

bonus round: is it "gee kwux" or "gee quacks"? it's "gee kwux" in the english dub

>>23518598
the jp and other language pronunciation is the same kwux in the episode where the pomeranians ask how to pronounce it.

They should have given Guntank fanservice.

>>23523638
I hope not, it told its story

>>23523638
About what? Machu's dimension-hopping?

>>23523684
Are there any pivotal points in SEED where the entire story changes if a wild Machu appears out of nowhere looking for Shuji?

>>23494391
*spreads Anti-Pervert Chaff onto the battlefield*

>>23523671
there are a ton of unresolved things

>challia is wearing char's mask for some reason?
>what other things went differently in the OYW?
>machu is still an international fugitive
>there is more than could have been told about the artificial newtypes, if deux's story hadn't been cut so short
>is char truly going to be content living on the sidelines with lala?
>in the original UC timeline, what happened to machu?

>>23525052
None of that is "unresolved".

>>23525052
I think Ramba Ral and Artesia's story could be interesting
maybe tie it in to the return of Scirocco in 0087 somehow?
Char and Lalah doing AEUG/Karaba shit would also be nice

>>23527121
>Char and Lalah doing AEUG/Karaba shit would also be nice
They got their happy ending though.

>>23527121
ramba ral deserved better in the original MSG so I have to agree on this

>>23527670
Char will fuck it up, believe

>>23524583
Her only line of defense against me is the dyed hair, if Machu looked like picrel I'd be an unstoppable rape missile.

>>23525052
>what happens with artesia and zeon?
She's Side 3's new sovereign. It is to assume that her rule would be prudent and enlightened, at least compared to the Zabi tyranny.

>challia is wearing char's mask for some reason?
Challia is a wanted man in Zeon.

>what other things went differently in the OYW?
It is implied that the planet was a lot more fucked than in the original by Operation British, to the extent that the Federation is a rump force without any power projection in space and Zeon just roaming on Earth.

>machu is still an international fugitive
Yes, and? She has friends in high places.

>is char truly going to be content living on the sidelines with lala?
If he isn't, then Challia will come and haunt him personally. And besides, this Char isn't driven by revenge against Amuro and (we are assuming that, like in the original) is very fond of Artesia, so he wouldn't fuck up his sister's rule for some mystical bullshit.

>in the original UC timeline, what happened to machu?
Same as Amuro in this timeline: a kid with an uninteresting life.

There was a lot in GQuuuuX that would have benefitted from the show having more than just 13 episodes in order to get proper exposition and whatnot.

However, seeing as how it was made by the guy that made Neon Genesis Evangelion, there is a very high chance that more episodes would have just led to even more questions that will never be answered ever.

>>23528383
why are you lusting so bad over a cartoon teenager

>>23528745
She could've been a mother to me

>>23528755
Machu is the sort of girl who would make the opposite mistakes raising a child that her mother made when raising her.

>>23522089

I'm going to buy the fuck out of that HG kit.

>>23469493 (OP)
Machu will return in the next Super Robot Wars game.


>>23528755
Char....

>>23528922
I guess that could be the excuse for QuX a sequel, to feature the Guntank design more prominently than a couple seconds in the background so they can actually make a kit for it.

>>23528988
>feature the Guntank design more prominently than a couple seconds in the background so they can actually make a kit for it
I doubt bandai needs an excuse. How long was the guncannon on screen? but we got a sweet ass kit anyway
>and two more alternate versions of the zaku on the way
>in what episode did challia pilot a rick dom? I don't remember that but there is a kit coming up for it...

>>23529037
From a production stand point wouldn't that be mostly just changing out the what coloured plastic goes in the mould?

>>23529075
they have gates in their molding to allow them to swap out only parts of the molds, so kits that have only some details changed can reuse most of the molding too. The other zakus have different weapons and shoulders, and a few other details slightly different... I haven't inspected the runners of the police zaku too closely but if one were to, they could probably spot the sections that will be swapped for the miltary pattern of zaku (and of course char's special red zaku that he abandons immediately)

>>23528681
Honestly I can see Char winding up platonic friends with Lalah in this universe, he spent his life with her constant attention pressing down on him and almost ending the universe, and he says himself that onesided love is stifling. I can see him hanging out with Chalia if he doesn't settle down, maybe being a guy in the chair for Machu and Nyaan in their further adventures.

I don't give a shit about outing myself

>>23528887
This stupid bitch couldnt even kill a single person, worst gundam MC of all time

>>23532888
That would be Kira Yamato.

>>23469493 (OP)
Do I have to watch the movie before watching the series? I've been putting this off until I can have it answered.

>>23534563
No, the film is cut into the episode format - it's the same thing.

>>23534570
sweet as, thanks

>>23534563
If you aren't familiar with the UC gundams at all there are things you'll miss. I started with GQuuuuuux and now kind of want to rewatch it after MSG79 and Zeta

>>23535576
I think he's asking about The Beginning.

>>23534563
watching the movie is a mistake, it spoils one of the plot twists
you should watch it in the order of episodes: 2,1,3-12

>>23469493 (OP)
Get used to it. We never get the name of her mom or the brown lolis in Lalah's pimp mansion. Hell, I'm not even sure if we get the Pomeranians named, because they're that irrelevant to the overall plot.

>>23487995
>>23494391
>>23524583
Usual goonshit because this show has nothing else to offer

>>23535576
they're pretty good 0079 is a good series to watch while high or buzzed

>>23538733
I enjoyed MSG1979 a lot more once I accepted that it's a kids' show and that gundam got more serious later

>the "lala sound" in gquuuuuux was a plot device, not much to say about it
>in MSG it was very eerie and a brilliant piece of sound design, especially in 1979
how did they make the sound in 1979? tape loops? vinyl? it sounds like tape with the warbling of abused vinyl. And why didn't gquuuuuux use the same sound?

>>23538738
Retard.

>>23538757
did I say something wrong? why are you upset?

>>23538804
it's just a musical instrument

https://youtu.be/UXq0wP66Y-c

Yeah I'm still scratching my head because the movie cut was significantly better than the tv version and nobody really talks about it. TV didn't even really add anything the way they cut it....what was even the fucking point?

>>23539422
No one talks about it because I think few people have seen both. You picked one or the other.

>>23539492
>few people have seen both
practically everyone that watched the movie also watched the show, what the fuck are you talking about

>>23539547
Evident by the first response, you'd be surprised.

>>23539420
No we aren't talking about the same thing. I'm referring to the music that plays several time during episode 40, whenever lalah is doing shit with the elmeth's bits.

>>23539422
the trend of packaging a handful of episodes into a "movie" is giving me early 2000s vibes

>>23539422
>what was even the fucking point?
none, like everything in this dumpsterfire

>>23534558

>>23540481
>Here nyaan put on this bag and shut up while I call you Shuji

>>23540573
Shuji doesnt bott- oh wait, he probably does

>>23540563
The only other Gundam (non build fighters/divers) MC who doesn't outright kill anyone I can think of is Alfred from War in the Pocket but even he is responsible for Bernie's death by talking him into a fight that didn't turn out to be necessary.
Did Machu cause any deaths that way? I can't think of anything.

>>23540505
>>23540563
It's really not that impressive when she sorties like 6 times, lets someone else do the fighting three of those times and literally just uses it for transport in the brothel episode. So she's only anything more than an observer on the battlefield in like two episodes.

>>23540563
Shes not a pacifist, its not even a struggle for her, she just never gets to do anything because shes irrelevant in her own show
>>23540799
No, she never really has to grapple with taking a life even second hand

>>23542004
So?

Is this show a retcon or an AU? I'm 4 episodes in and I dont remember Zeon winning

>>23543502
it's complicated, did you not watch the second episode

>>23543502
Are you new?

>>23540799
>Did Machu cause any deaths that way?
She didn't give two shits about her wingman slaughtering athletes.

>>23543520
>>23543524
I did and I am still a confuse. I'm going with AU rather than a retcon.

>>23543576
you might be retarded but you're in the right ballpark

>>23543502
An AU, so if you like the UC its completely skippable

>>23544230
>discord spoiler
lmao

>>23543502
It's an alternate universe, yeah.

>>23543502
lalah kept savescumming

I just got to ep8 and so much of this is just
>Remember Gainax bros
So many shots are lifted straight out of Evangelion, GB2 etc.
It's pretty fun and does the arena battle concept better than GWitch did at least. Though it also feels like I've watched it before.

>>23545062
You havent gotten the worst parts yet

>>23545062
This only speaks about how little you know other studios.

>>23545221
shut up G no Retard

Just finished the show and I gotta say, what a ride. I get why you guys couldn't say if it was AU or Mainline now. Personally, after seeing the final episode, I'm putting this in fanfic territory. It was basically a buildup to the popular "who would win in a fight, a Gundam or an Evangelion?". Naturally, ex-Gainax made it clear the answer is Evangelion due to Gainax bullshittery.

>>23548948
they're not Evangelion, the GQuuuuuuX is actually the Nu Gundam

>>23548948
They literally turned Lalah into Lilith-Rei, being able to create universe, and taking Kamille's throne as the most powerful newtype.

>>23548962
Go back to plebbit with that wiki powerscale midwittery.

So, is this show gonna get a continuation of any kind? G-Witch got a spinoff manga at least, and it had a conclusive ending too. GQuuuuuuuX feels like it was intended to have an entire second cour, the way the story just stops halfway, with tons of plot threads left dangling.

>>23550333
The show did pretty well but if it got some kind of continuation, the shitposting would be like nothing we've ever seen.

>>23550365
If left as-is, I'd say the whole thing is a fun high-budget fanfic. A bunch of somewhat incoherent but cool ideas that crescendo into a fanwank party of proportions you'd expect from Studio Trigger.
But is this really all they wanted to do? Because the early episodes suggested an actual story, with worldbuilding and serious characters. It spirals into insanity, but leaves a lot of questions. Like what about Bask Om, what is he doing? What about Sayla? Half of the Zabis are still around too. What about Machu's mother, she's about to get socially fucked. And so on. They raised all of these questions openly in the show, and then answered none of them. If they really just wanted an excuse for an Evangelion to fight a giant Tomino-accurate RX-78-2, there were much simpler ways of achieving that.

>>23550379
I don't think any of that matters at all, "what they wanted to do" is very well documented in their interviews and social media.

>>23550380
I know what they wanted to do, the question is if that's ALL they wanted to do. If the answer is yes, then GQuuuuuuX is not getting any sequels, and it'll just remain a fun little curiosity for Gundamfags to joke about once in a while.
I guess that checks out with how Tsurumaki approached his other projects, like FLCL and Diebuster, but he was far more elegant about it before. FLCL didn't leave me with unanswered questions.

>>23550391
Okay fair enough, I see what you mean. I think it all really depends on how much Bandai wants to continue it, there's definitely room for more but it's not always a matter of whether they want to do more or not. Trigger always wanted to do more P&S but it took them 15 years, and it wasn't because there were "unanswered questions" or loose plot points, they just wanted to have fun and do more jokes right? If Tsurumaki and Company want to do more Gundam and Bandai feels that would be a good idea (it would, at least financially) then we might get more Khara Gundam. Also, something people might misunderstand is that GQuuuuuuX existing doesn't mean that other shows were put on hold or given less priority, Bandai is making a big push for Gundam going global and having other studios help with that is the best way to do so. So if you didn't like it there's no reason to act like Gundam is over and Anno destroyed your hobby.

>>23550333
I really hope so. The show did really well for bandai's sales, and only just now are my local stores able to keep some of the gquuuuuux kits in stock, and news that Bandai are already doing reprints of some of the gquuuuuux (and witch) kits. I've read rumors though that Bandai plans to have a new series every year leading up to the 50th anniversary, and that could also be the case.

>>23550379
>What about Machu's mother
wasn't Machu's father mentioned at some point too to be someone important in Side 6? I don't recall him ever appearing on screen a single time though

>>23550414
>Gundam going global
as someone new to gundam, and started with gquuuuuux, it is now painful to me to see western media lump Gundam in with Transformers, but I had the same misconception in the past. Changing that perception will be a really big challenge for Bandai.

>>23550414
>So if you didn't like it there's no reason to act like Gundam is over and Anno destroyed your hobby
Personally, I fucking hated GQuuuuuuX at first, it legitimately made me seethe for dangling so many carrots and then not having any payoff worth a damn. But eventually, I found peace with what it is - a fan project by the fans for the fans that just wanted to do cool shit and inject some of that Gainax/Khara flavor into Tomino's Gundam without going too high-brow about it. In that vein, I'm open to more of it. It doesn't even have to be Tsurumaki again, I'd welcome a manga for example, like what G-Witch is getting.

>>23550429

Exactly why I endured it more than WfM. To me, if Khara was told they get to do a Gundam show and did it the way they did it without trying to be pretentious about their ambition (looking at you, WfM production team), I was willing to bear with it.

>>23521938
I just skipped fowards every time a non-robot or non-Chalia were on screen
All the show should have been the alternate OYW from the second episode.
At least Gkeks has one major positive side, anons are shitting on Thunderbolt's designsD lot less

>>23550429
>into Tomino's Gundam
It's more than just Tomino I'd say, it's more about the general gundam craze that followed the release of the movies all the way to zeta, becausd you have stuff from MSV, the novels, Yas' celwork, Zeta's OST, etc. It's proper deep cut gunota shit.

Which is the best looking?

>>23552065
Challia

>>23552065
She's called Deux because that's how many minutes of screentime she had.

>>23552110
A character with a good initial impression and intriguing personality and design who never developed into anything meaningful, much like the rest of GQuuuuuuX

It's becoming apparent to me that no one hates Gundam like a Gundam fan.
With other long running franchises like Evangelion or Star Wars there's some consistency over which parts are divisive but with Gundam it seems like it's all of it.

>>23528744
Honestly while the flashback stuff was important, I feel like if it wasn't part of the actual show and was just something like WfM's prologue it would've at least given a bit more time for the narrative to breathe. I saw Beginning and it really felt like the proper way to engage with the show. It's less that we needed more explanations and more that we needed more time to breathe in general, the events of the show are so tightly packed together that everything feels like it's in a rush. It's like if you tried to take a 24 episode show and stuff all the events into 12 episodes alongside an OVA.

>>23566020
>I CAN'T BREATHE

>>23528744
The actual person who directed this show only directs short anime.

FLCL had 6 episodes. Diebuster also had 6 episodes.

Nyaan's piloting is fucking unhinged, it's probably my favorite part of the show.

>>23552065
It's the freckles, isn't it?

>>23550429
I think it’s a lot that G-Witch is getting a manga without the Gundam parts. It just shows that they really didn’t know or care about the Gundam side of the franchise and just wanted to sell for yuri.

>>23566548
*says a lot

>>23566548
Is anyone from G-Witch tv show working on the manga? It feels like it's more about riding the apparently unexpected popularity of the main duo. Rather than the tv staff themselves wanting something like that from the start.

>>23566567
well it is a thing for the author to be in contact with someone from the studio to act as consultant on lore and to talk over details about how the manga should depict things so there's no conflicts, continuity exists, and the world is consistent with itself

it's just myself thinking, but I assume most manga tie-in or sidestory to anime maybe wouldn't have studio staff transferred to working on it, they're generally considered different worlds and would be handled through different companies, e.g., sunrise handles the anime side of things, kadokawa shoten handles the manga side and has some kind of license or contract with sunrise\bandai for the use of the Gundam IP. maybe on a consulting basis but maybe not working directly on the manga itself

>>23565821
I see you've never been in a Final Fantasy thread

>>23550333
Hahahaha. Nope. At least Okouchi and other people who worked on G-Bitch are into their characters, being yurifags. Tsurumaki and Enokido care much more about Char, Lalah, even Challia, than their original creations.

>>23550379
>They raised all of these questions openly in the show, and then answered none of them.
And that's why we call them hack here.

>>23550391
The main difference is that the plot was of secondary importance in FLCL.

>>23552065
Nyaan. Those eyes look creepy on Machu.

im choosing to disregard the whole thread and just wanna say Nyaan is so cute and deserved more screen time

>>23543502
Unironically its an alternate universe of an alternate universe.

>>23570570
she's a crazy cat lady

>>23570570
>>23570860
When does this happen?
Since Zeon Deikun is there it'd have to be 0068 at the latest making Kycillia 13 and Casval 8 but he looks too old here so maybe they he has the age he had in The Origin (where he looked 8 but was older) making him 11.

I feel like the show would've been able to be better with a full 24 episode run, hell even just cutting out all the Beginning segments and having them be something you need to look into like the WfM prologue would've been better than how they did things. The issue with GQuuuuuuX was having too much shit they wanted to do that they clearly lacked the time to do.

Can't believe this thread has so many posts and I still haven't gotten past episode 3.

This has to be the most wasted potential I've ever seen desu. It should've been exploring Z(ish) setting with a group of regular kids like a revamped ZZ but instead it's fucking nostalgia wank which honestly I didn't mind but they fucking sperged over the superficial moments over 0079 and just went GUIS GUIS REMEMBER BEYOND THE TIME GUIS REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL GUNDAM GUISSSS.. I was expecting this to be more of a look into how "war has changed" in the modern era and how kids yearn for freedom and justice outside their blind ignorant homes. If they really wanted to be nostalgia wank, why the fuck didn't they do this as an OVA/Movie like Lesbian Lalah show.

I agree that the show needed another 12 episodes. Everything happens lightning fast. I get that it's only supposed to be about 1 week of real time, and it is kind of true to the original MSG79 to kill off villains within minutes of introducing them, but so many things would have benefited from more time, and maybe just a tiny bit of explanation for newcomers into the series so they aren't left confused about newtypes and how kira kira" not being a normal newtype thing or a drug reference

>>23583590
Yeah, couple more jobber clan teams and talking about Zeon Deikun and his philosophy would be nice. That would be 4 more episodes. Two more episodes are SoL hijinks. What else to bring episode count up to 24?

It must be weird to watch this and have no idea about to watch this while watching this

>>23581190
I'd like another episode focusing on Shuuji's home dimension too. Or at least half an episode or so, just to expand on how the fuck he is connected to lalah to justify dimension nuking repeatedly.

>>23589077
I think the point is to make you come up with your own idea

>>23589054
What people don't know about this show is something they won't know about it.

>>23589851
Just remember, there's always the remnants of things to remember.

SHUT THE FUCK UP

So if CCA Amuro's ghost somehow made it to Gquuuuuux, where did CCA Char's ghost go? The red gundam? Fred? Haro? A never seen onscreen full frontal?

>>23594878
As far as we know there wasn't a 2nd OO part that appeared alongside the one used for the GQX, so it just isn't in that universe.

I literally just finished watching this. It was good as fuck.

Bunch of retarded faggots whinning about the dumbest shit. May as well say everything not early UC is dhit. There was nothing wrong with this.

>>23595566
I agree, people had very different expectations from the show and couldn't cope with it being a love letter to early UC. It's not without its flaws but it's certainly not bad enough for people to treat the show like it killed their family

>>23595597
I am convinced anymore people here just want the same early UC shit on repeat and actually enjoy all the retcon shit as a result. So Crossbone animated never ever...

There's never much of a reason given to why so many of the AU series are considered bad. I mean yeah some definitely though. Like 00 season 2 and Trailblazer, Destiny. I don't like Seed personally very much either but it was okay.

>>23594878
Possibly G-Fred but we can only guess.

>>23595605
I only disliked the fact that the trio of original characters had to share the spotlight with Char at the end (Nyaan in particular had her role reduced to that of a random background pilot). And I feel there's a lot of missed potential in general with the new cast.
If anything, I wish Gquack was MORE of an AU than it turned out to be.

A lot of people are pissy about the "multi-verse" implications at the end. But I doubt a lot of it is genuine: it's so easily ignored that anyone claiming "UC is ruined" is either trolling or a drooling retard.

Don't make me tap the sign

>>23469493 (OP)
The designs were swag but they needed like 3 more seasons for all the shit they were planning to pan out and work well but that didn't work I guess

>>23566514
Breed

>>23595793
I watched the original saga for the first time just few years back, there was no nostalgia.

>>23595770
Fair enough. I feel like character development was only lost by the 12 episodes, but for 12 episodes quite a bit happened.

>UC is ruined
Those people are just retarded.


>>23595793
Retard.

>>23595793
Shut the fuck up Duel.

My lust for the delicious young girls featured in the show was somehow overcome by the incredibly shitty writing.
I still love jacking off to porn of Deux getting fucked in the ass. But god damn, I think they should have ended the show at episode 11 instead of that shitshow of a final episode.

Also, I love jacking off to porn of Deux (ideally nonconsensual, or uncomfrtable/painful for her).

>>23595597
Honestly I think they should have aired the first 3 episodes exactly like the movie cut. Starting the alt OYW up to the Zeknova moment makes it very clear the direction it’s going with time fuckery and It’s definitely the intended way to watch. why I never really got that bait and switch feeling other anons had.
Definitely could have stood to be longer with how much stuff it wants to do but I had a fun time with it.

>>23598479
they should have aired them in the order of 2-1-3 and then the rest in order
the episode 8 twist was actually a good storytelling choice

>>23601751
Isn't that how the film was shown? technically it came first. It's assumed that you have already seen it and are continuing with the show.

>>23601825
no, the first half of episode 8 aired after episode 1

>>23595834
what the fuck is this

I adore how the show looks and sounds. I love it's style. Really not sure if I can go back to regular UC after this. Which sucks, because oh man did this show have flaws.

>>23571470
I feel that. It was trying to do too much stuff. Should have leaned more into the cold war civilian life on Side 6 than this time lord Lalah multiverse stuff.

>>23581190
>>23583590
Yeah, these guys have the right idea. I do like the lighting-fast pace, I like how dense it is, but it just trips at some point and never manages to right itself.

>>23598330
LUST?! FOR MACHU?!!

>>23606120
Impossible!

where did you find this image of my kitchen

Studio Khara really like doing this shot in their shows. I can't put into words exactly what it is but I recognize a fellow connoisseur and he works as a lead animator at Khara.

I have a soft spot for GQ but honestly the hate is warranted. They took 4 great ideas and never landed with fucking ANY of them.
>1. Gundam Gladiator Sports
>2. Alternate Zeta era setting with some fresh characters
>3. Cosmic romance (ew this one I never liked desu. Lalah wank is just as annoying as Char wank)
>4. Alternate take on Kycilla vs Gihren plot
It's less that the show was bad (although... the quality if you rate it as a whole is definitely lacking), it's more of how much fucking wasted potential it is. I remember watching this weekly getting excited on what exactly was going to happen next but the Char's plot hijacking the Machu/Shuuji/Nyaan plot was significantly more worse than when Kira hijacks Shinn's MC spot. It's just they had a cool thing to do with UC and they just fucking squandered it for cheap fan bait.

yaoi is so popular they prefer to promote them than shumachu.

>>23609096
They're not marketing ramen with the girl who ate ramen?
Also she didn't meet either of them come to think about it, at most catching a glimpse of Char.

>>23609199
That scene was good.

>>23608842
idk I quite liked what they did, it was never going to be a big hit because pleasing every fan is an impossible task but all in all it was a quality short show
