I rewatched Reco recently and I realised that it seriously doesn’t matter where it’s placed in the timeline or whatnot. The Dark History in Turn A was left deliberately vague as to how it even works because the how-and-why wasn’t the point. The thematic stakes were the main focus. How did all these timelines coalesce? How long was the Dark History? Is it linear or not? It doesn’t matter. It’s the same thing with G-Reco. Who cares when it takes place when the main message is that humanity will inevitably start to drift back towards war and fighting and it’s up to the youths of the day to put a stop to that so we can continue to live in peace? The people arguing over this are missing the point. There’s never going to be a clear answer because the show itself and Tomino’s own words are incompatible. Just accept it, move on and focus on the actual important parts of what each show is trying to tell you.
