Focusing too much on CharXChalia's gay romance instead of the new cast in the final two episodes for one.
Though it was always going to be an issue from first principle if your initial idea is "Char steals the RX78" but you also have another "mysterious character" piloting it.

Machu was a pretty typical 'Japanese high-schooler with a lack of direction who finds Japanese high-schooler life unfulfilling' stock character
With Nyaan, it was like they were kind of trying to do something with her latching onto people easily and being easily led into doing bad shit due to her refugee background, but it got drowned out because the show kept losing interest in Machu and Nyaan in favour of the stuff it carried over from 0079 (Char/Lalah, Challia, Zabi infighting, etc.)

It's at least a top 3 Gundam series for me. It centers around several factions vying for power (in terms of energy distribution, which would carry control over the Earth Sphere) after a recent acquisition of war technology on Earth from the UC era, which has been established as taboo as it took many, many years to rebuild Earth and recover from atrocities done in that era.
It's stated to take place 1000 years after UC, but Tomino went on to say it's actually after Turn A somewhere. That's where the confusion comes from.

Sunrise also never officially retconned it after the fact. I think only a single Tomino centric-exhibit mentioned the idea of it being after Turn A again, but no other official source ever has.

I say watch it and decide for yourself if it's before or after. Hard to ignore the creator's words, but most of the staff made it with the understanding it was 1000 years after UC ended, so the settings will still lean more towards that.

Bad pacing.

Characters that didn't feel like I had a reason to care about their lives.

The pokemon character design. Gihren, Kycilia, etc look fine, I just can't uncouple the designers style from Pokemon.

It's really fucking obnoxious with the new type magic in the illegal MS duels at the start.
Throughout the show in general. I can suspend my disbelief for CCA with the gradual buildup of new type fuckery over the course of 79, zeta, ZZ and then CCA. But it feels ham fisted here. I don't know why.


>>23577402

I think G Reco, despite its flaws, is Tomino trying to tell an interesting take on Gundam. Perhaps it's so poorly received, and remembered as such, because its a lot more difficult to follow as a weekly.

It's worse than that, because you can tell that they tried to tell a story with the new characters, and it got thrown under a bus because they also wanted to write UC fan-fiction.
Char basically hijacks the final two episodes. Machu and Shuji get their final moment, sure. But Nyaan is almost completely forgotten about, character-wise.

There's also the question of the giant, magical RX78. I can understand why someone would like it, but I didn't.

The early episodes were marred by a completely useless "clanbatz xd" plotline that no one cared for, and then when the plot gets interesting and the Titans show up, they're completely ignored.

What moment?

Her role in the final episode is that of a random mook. We don't learn anything about her character in the final fight.
She starts the episode moping around in the G-Fred after betraying Kycilia and has absolutely no knowledge of what is going on with the Rose of Sharon and Shuji's goals. She helps Machu defeat Shuji only because Machu asks her, she gets defeated unceremoniously and goes right back to where her character was on side-6: obsessing over Shuji.

I'm expecting a long and detailed response from you, shitposter-kun. I really loved Gquack up until the brothel episode (I think that's n°6?) and if you can convince me that there's something I missed in the second half that can make me like the show more I would be genuinely glad.

They wanted to do too much stuff for a 12 episode run. So in the end they shift the narrative so it's focused too much on the alternative UC stuff because they have no fucking time left. Also keeping the Beginning segments out of the TV run and having it be a prequel movie only would have at least bought them an extra episode or two. The biggest flaws with GQuuuuuuX all essentially boil down to it being too ambitious for the timeframe they had to make it all work. Literally just make it a two cour and it'd go up significantly in quality through that breathing room

>keeping the Beginning segments out of the TV run and having it be a prequel movie only would have at least bought them an extra episode or two.
They definitely could've trimmed it down from being the entire second episode. The relevant bits were just
>Char stealing the Gundam (did not need to be an entire half-episode with gratuitous shot-for-shot recreations from Gundam Rising, could easily have been cut down to <5 mins)
>Char meeting Challia
>Zeknova (and even then, the 'full' Zeknova flashback isn't even until ep 8)
I also think it would've worked better spreading them out across multiple episodes; a shorter version of Char stealing the Gundam being used as a cold open to ep 1, then ep 2 would be the stuff with Challia in the colony with a flashback to his meeting with Char, etc.
I'm curious to see the Beginning movie, because I expect it'll work a lot better in that format. As the first 3 eps of a TV series, it's just awkward halting before things have even really had a chance to get going in order to drop all the backstory at once

anno is such a bizarre motherfucker. i think he's developed a love-hate relationship with gundam because he knows he can never dethrone it.
from his 1993 gundam "fan book":
Anno: No one was holding a funeral for anime so this doujinshi is me declaring “I will hold the funeral!”

Since [CCA], no one has managed to reset. No one has come back to life. Even V Gundam isn’t a rebirth. Everyone ended at [CCA] and is slowly floating around as ash. Above dead bodies, flying as ashes. No one realizes this, or they do and choose to close their eyes to this fact…
[...]
With heavy stories like that, children can’t keep up and they end up abandoning it.
[...]
Mr. Tomino can’t throw Lalah away, you know. It’s easy to say I’ll throw everything away but it’s hard to put into action. Especially since men are creatures of lingering affection. It’s extremely difficult to throw away things you saw as a child. Even if you’re told you have to. You have to throw away everything attached to your body and become stark naked in order to move forward.

Anno is inconsistent as fuck. I'm not going to drill on Eva, I thought it was pretty good but it feels like Anno does his best when subverting and referencing things (which makes sense since the 0079 sections were pretty neat). The biggest problem with this fucker is outside of references he REALLY loves to self sabotage shit which worked great for Evangelion and Gunbuster. (I should give Nadia a watch) but Rebuild and GQ was fucking awful. I gave Shin Kamen Rider a watch too and it's nonsensical as well as a subversion. It tries to be this serious dark movie when it's also goofy as fuck man what the hell is this guy doing, it's like he's taking the piss every single time.

I don't think he hates the audience considering how much 3.0+1.0 since to be an "I'm sorry!" for people's complaints about 3.0, like how the characters blaming Shinji for everything get called out rather than the narrative seemingly siding with them like in the previous movie.

He just then went on to mess up again by the time of 3.0+1.0's own ending.

>>23579157
>It tries to be this serious dark movie when it's also goofy as fuck man what the hell is this guy doing

The problem with Shin Kamen Rider is that it basically assumes the audience is already into Rider and knows what he's referencing, even though it's a reboot that should be a starting point of new viewers. But it doesn't work as that for most people. He doesn't build suspension of disbelief or anything, just throws the viewer in the middle of the plot with a bunch of odd aesthetics if you don't know Rider already and then goes running ahead.

That said, Anno only actually wrote the 0079 parts of GQX. He wasn't the director or writer for anything else, just having some minor input here and there. GQX is more Kazuya Tsurumaki's work (FLCL, Diebuster).

I don't think Anno has ever not really been speaking about himself. Literally any time he's criticizing someone or talking about a series it just sounds like he's talking about himself. Even his famous reflections of otaku culture and anime fans are all primarily self-centered. He's a huge fucking weird nerd and he feels guilty about it.

He comes off as the kind of guy that wants to make an epic masturbatory otaku project with all the things he loves and then smacks his nuts halfway through for wanting it, so all we get now is an endless parade of bizarre, half-hearted nostalgic circlejerks.

Fuck no, witch COULD have been good. The setting HAD potential, But the writing was ass and nothing happens for most of the show. They just dick around at school. People say it didn't have enough time but I say the opposite, it had too much time and probably needed to be condensed. Or it should have done more with the time it did have. Either way what it does do is piss most of it away.

Tbf, I think Anno had a lot more input outside the 0079 stuff. Especially if it's the 0079 stuff during the GQ era. I know beyond the time was his fucking idea.

This shows is such a mess.

I love it to bits, there are many cool ideas, but it's still a mess.

I like how we get a more character driven show where personal motivations of the main cast can swing things just as much as that of the political movers & shakers...

...but it's still a mess.

If you're doing character drama, you need a tad more time spent on characters and your final arc cannot be resolved with Newtype magic bullshit alone unless it ties into meaningful character development.

This ending didn't, Machu just "powered through" with youthful exuberance and learned absolutely no lessons.

I know not everything needs to be said out loud, like I loved the irony of Kycilia giving Nya an gun and telling her to just shoot her problems... then getting shot in turn.

But if you're gonna Eva your Gundam, then your main cast needs to go somewhere. Shinji (finally!) fucking grows up by the end of Rebuild and triumphs over his dad by pointing out the latter's teenage bullshit. (Only took ~25 years IRL, but I'll take it).

Where did our main cast go? OK, Shuuji learns that obsession is not love, but you cannot make your Cloudcuckoolander the vessel of your character drama in the very last act!

I love this show, but it's such a mess.

GQuuux wasn't trying to do anything remotely like Eva. Amate finding her boring life to be boring and stifling is always presented as being a pretty fair, reasonable way to feel. She isn't a character with massive, unresolved personal problems
At most you could say her dream to run away to Earth is fairly naive on the face of it, but even that's just shorthand for, "I want personal independence"

That was retarded.
I don't think there's much more to it than >>23583346 said. From the perspective of the show's internal logic.
What I can't figure out is what were the writer thinking? Is it supposed to be cool that Amuro is inside the Gquacks? Does that mean something?
To me, it only detracts from Machu's character: She wasn't a talented pilot / a super-newtype that could pilot via psycommu alone. To the point that she could move the Gundam without piloting it. (Which is bullshit, sure. But at least it's new bulllshit.)

Turns out Amuro was at the helm all along. It's both a "character assassination" and boring.

Because it wasn't supposed to be as full of crammed in story as it got. It was supposed to air before WfM, but Bandai didn't want to rush the project after COVID delays pushed everything back, so they rushed WfM to be filler while giving Khara more time to work on the series. The anime was already nearly complete, but with the extra time, they basically went and redid entire parts of it and even brought the VAs back to squeeze in more details that they wanted to. However, Bandai's agreements with various TV stations as well as Amazon was already locked into 12 episodes, so they couldn't alter the episode count.
