[Mobile Suit Gundam] I watched the episode famous for the line “Time, stop!” and isn’t this episode extremely tense in a subtle way?

Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

I mean, wasn’t the destructive power of that time bomb crazy for its size?

1: Japan Otaku Reviews

I haven’t seen that story yet…

What kind of story is it?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx19

>>1

“If this is done to a giant robot, isn’t it weak?”

A masterpiece drawn earnestly.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

The Gundam is too big!

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking, “Is it really okay to plant such a small bomb on a shield?” and then the shield got totally wrecked, and I was shocked…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Gundam has an incredible destructive power, but it can be equipped with a large number of small bombs that can be held with one hand.

Amuro desperately trying to remove it while the Zeon soldiers watch with smirks.

To minimize the damage when it explodes, only Amuro has been allowed to remove it.

Unable to sit still, everyone ends up helping.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

I like the scene where the bombers come to tease the climax.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s take a look at V Gundam too.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>7

Naked older sister?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

Nenekatai, which was vaporized by a beam saber when they fought in person.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

In a situation where it’s like, “Can we really defeat the Gundam with such a force?” the first half feels like the enemy side is the protagonist as they plant a bomb on the Gundam and then leave.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

One of the good things about the original series is that it has these standalone “good stories.”

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>9

I love the story of bringing a child to their hometown, only to find that the hometown has vanished and the terrain has changed.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>12

That uncle from Zeon who came back just to drop off some kind of aid supplies for that woman is really nice, isn’t he?

And finally, a conversation that was meant to be kind ends up bringing despair to my wife…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

It happened to explode just in the nick of time, but that was totally luck.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what happened to the people who planted the bomb.

I wonder if I was able to survive until the end of the war.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

I hope you weren’t fighting in Zeon in the desert during the ZZ era.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

After the Gundam destruction order, it became a trip to Odessa.

After that, it is unknown.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

The way it portrays that not all Zeon are villains and that there are ordinary people too is quite advanced for an anime work of that time.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

Back then, the enemies in robot anime were mostly monsters or aliens.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

There’s not much about the stories of regular soldiers in the subsequent Universal Century Gundam series, right?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is this the episode where Kai was saying various things and Bright finally snapped and punched him saying, “Enough already!”?

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>18

More ahead.

Around the time whether or not I got off the Earth.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>25

Was it a different episode?

In movies, the episodes that are cut tend to make my memory a bit fuzzy.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the arcs with Raru, there are everyday episodes like the ones with Surega, Cucuruz Doan, and the mother episode that don’t directly tie into the main story, right?

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the thread image was quite far back, but was it that early?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>20

I feel like it was around episode 14 in front of Cucuruz Doan.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are a few characters that look like they are from Daitarn 3 appearing as mobs.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

The famous salt episode doesn’t really relate to the main story.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like the gym was about to be destroyed like this too.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

It’s a story about Katsuretsu Kikka retrieving bombs. I wonder if it was motivated by hearing about Amuro’s bomb disarming.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

I was blown up with a bomb attached to my Wappa in the Gravity Frontlines.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

The stories of the Zeon soldiers interspersed within evoke a sense of impermanence in that “the war they are fighting is against humans.”

War really is crap!

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s not that I’m hating, it’s just that I’m fighting because it’s work.

That depiction is nice, isn’t it?

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

When I saw the original work, it was a scene that wasn’t funny at all.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

In F91, the infantry was also taking down Denanzon.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

But on the other hand, I’ll get killed a lot by bugs…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

At the time when the bald was mentally worn down, the ways of killing were really brutal…

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Tomino is originally a director skilled in self-contained episodes, and especially in the First, there are many great stories in throwaway episodes that don’t need to be watched.

I can’t create throwaway episodes for the current Gundam or anime…

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

It felt like a game, but if I really wanted to, I could have blown up a Gundam.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The ending of this episode is surprisingly simple, isn’t it?

Ah~ that guy released everything, huh? I guess I’ll go see what he’s like in person.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you blow yourself up alone, the damage will only be to you.

I love it when Bright, who was saying that, desperately helps out in the end.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Because it is a war between humans, the opponent is also human.

I think that’s the beauty of the Gundam drama.

The unidentified alien actually has a human-like appearance.

I think it’s quite interesting that even after realizing they’re capable of good conversation, Yamato still has to engage in a deadly struggle.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>40

The remake of the Earth Gamilas Alliance Fleet is nice, isn’t it…?

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather than exploding a large bomb within the area,

A small size with high directionality can deal more damage…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Time, Stop!” is the only episode in the first series that is credited to Tomino for both the script and direction, but he mentioned that it just happened to be that way and is not particularly significant to him.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>43

Speak clearly!

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It might be better to create something without being overly attached to it.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>46

Even the creator of the Big Bridge’s fierce battle…

“I have no idea if this is good enough,” they freely declare without hesitation.

It might be something like that.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>50

Well… that song has a clear original source…

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I’m sorry to say, but I really don’t understand what Tomino truly wants to accomplish when he’s serious about it.

Stories like this, which are more relaxed during the intermission, resonate better with the general public.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Tomino’s low self-evaluation of Double Zeta probably stems from many stories like this…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s great that Bright is the first to rush out and help Amuro.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I’m sorry, but to prevent any damage, it would be best not to let Amuro handle it alone.

I don’t think it’s a good story just because Amuro is okay with dying.

Well, it seems like I’ve been somewhat forgiven since I’m helping out.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>52

It’s a great episode where the military thinking of not being able to let other people die for the sake of the White Base clashes with the human desire to want to help Amuro, right!?

How could you interpret it that way?

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gundam 00 is the first Gundam I’ve watched all the way through.

The increasing strength of the enemy’s MS around 00 was a nod to the 1st, wasn’t it?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has been confirmed in recent years that the strange name “Kukurus Doan” was also conceived by Tomino.

That seems like a story that the person themselves doesn’t really care about.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

A confusing flying bike appears, doesn’t it?

It is said that there have been recent plastic model releases.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

Wappa and hoverbike

There is a flying car that looks like a large drone we are currently developing, but with people on board.

It feels like peeling off the skin of that thing.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Was it the Ramba Ral team that reacted with something like, “Why are there kids here? It’s dangerous! Run away!” when the White Base was attacked and they saw Katz, Retz, and Kikka?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

Because he showed a gap like that, the uncle got turned into a beehive…

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Without Frau Bow and Cutlet Kick, even if we take out the meta, I felt that the atmosphere would become bad…

The refugees inside, unlike the soldiers and pilots, find themselves in a tough situation where they have to confront the situation head-on…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are a lot of points to criticize, like saying it can be blown up remotely without any issues.

It’s funny that both the enemies and allies are on edge, and on top of that, everyone comes to help.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

It’s impossible to do remote work because of the powder.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>59

I really wish I had brought the remote, as they say in the play.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

It seemed like there was an atmosphere of various equipment not being fully prepared because it was a small unit from the remote area.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When it comes to the power of bombs, Char’s grenade that can pierce a hole in the port barrier with one shot is incredible.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t have much experience with war, so I can’t really relate to getting along with enemy soldiers; I just think it’s better to kill them all.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the standalone episodes around here.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Blazing Hot Azzaam Leader

Biglo

This

It was a pretty tight situation that Char wasn’t directly involved in.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>69

Don’t forget to break the most desperate McBe siege.

The White Base is being sunk.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

Bright collapses from stress.

Mirai-san becomes flustered with the unfamiliar role.

Seira-san pokes with prickly words.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Poor thing…

Poor thing…

>>78

……

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

The Doddai + Gouf unit was almost on the verge of defeating the Gundam.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the beginning, I was complaining that supplies weren’t coming in properly.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original idea comes from a war movie where someone risked their life to attach bombs to a tank.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have a memory of a scene where I was fed up with the environment, specifically with the climate of the Earth and the presence of ordinary winged insects.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Time, stop! The strange refreshment of the last scene is nice, isn’t it?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Elgarhyme had something similar happen in the first episode.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

But if they could have destroyed it here, the old men would have been able to return to their country proudly…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s too scary that just by using a shield, people can be blown away.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I first saw the original series, I started with the movie, so I was quite surprised to find episodes like this that are standalone.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Everyone is lighthearted, but it’s like a special attack…

Some were blown to pieces by a direct hit from a hyper bazooka.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

I came up with a good plan, so if it succeeds, I’ll be able to return to a clean home country!

That mission is far too life-threatening to just do it on a whim.

Moreover, the time bomb is just a bonus; shooting and blowing it up shows a complete lack of intent to survive…

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

The bald character artfully depicts a mindset of, “I’ve experienced the real wartime just barely, so whatever happens next, I’ve done all I could!” which feels quite reckless.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

By the way, that bike-like helicopter thing has been made into a model kit.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine to go blow something up just because you’re bored.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like how the naming of the time stop operation shows that the Renato brothers really love Gundam.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though there are 40 episodes, it’s amazing how scenes I’ve seen online appear at least twice in each episode.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m surprised that there are more friendly Zeon soldiers around the area where I landed on Earth.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

They’re probably doing it on purpose around that area.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

In proportion to that, there are quite a few annoying refugees and thugs among the federal troops insisting to let us down here…

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

I think it’s amazing that it makes you aware that ordinary people are killing each other.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s amazing how that person can say, “Are you just going to run away?” to Mirai-san, who’s falling apart while commanding and piloting the ship just because Bright collapsed and Ryuu is dead, and she was suddenly put in charge as the highest-ranking officer.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think this story alone could be made into a live-action movie.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Watching the first half, I think it would be okay even without Gundam…

I think it’s questionable that the members of the White Base feel that way.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

The scum-like behavior of the federal soldiers towards the reunified mothers.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because of the times, unpleasant wartime episodes keep coming up.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Half a century has passed since humanity began to migrate the excessive population to space.

I like to forcibly insert a fusion training sequence even while escaping.
