Kai after Miharu’s death is good, isn’t he…?

I felt that Hayato continuously remained reliable throughout the entire story.

They’re doing something for me from the beginning to the end… I like it…

I understand that this is meant for the sponsors.

I laughed when the narration started saying, “Amuro and the others don’t have the luxury to be doing this right now,” as the Gundam docking scene began.

I watched Origin → First → Dune.

At the first point, I felt like it was a strange story about Doan… so why is it being made into a movie?

Also, Kai’s voice hasn’t changed at all.

Kukurus Doan has been a subject of jokes for a long time, so isn’t that the reason for the topic’s popularity?

Did you watch the TV version?

That’s super tough, right?

>>5

It’s nice, isn’t it? Time, stop…

The island of Kukurus Doan and the continuation of good human emotions is irresistible.

Being cowardly is just right, isn’t it?

The standalone episodes like Doan’s were difficult to handle because the main staff didn’t touch on them at all, but it seems that Yoshikazu Yasuhiko liked them.

>>6

I can’t believe that this was unpopular at the time and got cancelled midway.

>>11

The toy’s initial performance was not great, so a shortening was decided, but it had recovered enough during the broadcast for talks of a reversal to come up later.

>>11

There are an unusually high number of episodes where only Zaku enemy MS appear.

I think it would look really boring from the perspective of kids back then.

It must have really resonated during my late teens.

There is also a crazy spin-off manga featuring Sergeant Quaran from “Time, Stop!” called “Iron Horse.”

The episode of Miharu is a masterpiece that Tomino, who wrote the storyboard, cried while reading it, and so did Anno…

The episode of Cucurus Doan has long been known as both a great episode and one infamous for its animation collapse.

I feel like Cucuruz Doan is probably based on Cruz Island in Nagasaki, but I don’t really know the truth.

It seems like someone who spells “Zion” that way would do it.

I don’t think Amuro would have been able to beat the Sazabi that much if it weren’t for his encounter with Doan.

At that time, the young Anno was really hooked.

Even during UC, I thought Kai’s voice didn’t change at all, and it’s the same during Doan; his voice hasn’t changed at all.

>>20

If I have to hit you to get you to pilot the Gundam, then everyone will die.

A 19-year-old should not bear such responsibility.

>>20

Mr. Bright should be the lowest-ranking officer, but since there are no superiors, he has to take on the role of leader.

The last four episodes of the TV version are really interesting, and I still occasionally rewatch just those.

I recently watched it too and realized that the men’s battles in Eva come from Kai.

In the scenes where Amuro, having completed his development as a Newtype, is dominating, there are also moments where Kai is surprisingly taking down a lot of enemies, right?

Biglo is really strong.

Throughout the entire work, I think it’s the strongest that has cornered Amuro the most.

Later, Anno-kun said.

“The first episode of Gundam is perfect! It expresses everything about Amuro’s circumstances, how he gets caught up in the chaos, and why he has to fight, all without any unnaturalness!”

“I have never seen a story that surpasses this one, nor have I ever created a story that exceeds this.”

It seems to be something like that.

It’s a rather fitting name like “keeping watch.”

In the first half, only Zaku appears, but in the second half, strange machines come out in a surprising and shocking manner like this week’s big reveal.

>>30

Originally, the director intended for the enemy MS to be exclusively Zakus and Char’s Zaku until the end.

Due to the poor sales of the toys, a request for revitalization came from the sponsor’s intent and Sunrise, so we held a meeting with the main staff as a result.

“What the sponsors are saying makes sense, and in actual wars, new weapons were constantly being developed and deployed, so there’s no need to break the worldview.”

It has been concluded that they will be releasing the new model MS in large numbers.

I thought it was amazing how they wrapped it up neatly with a conclusion.

Watching the canceled ideas made me think that it might have been better for it to be terminated, as it seemed to have developed into a chaotic storyline.

>>32

It seems like the story is about the final boss appearing as Gihren and coming out with a heavy mobile armor.

Mr. Sleggar! You’re fast! You’re really fast!

I especially like the first half with many side episodes.

It’s nice how she’s happy without realizing that Miharu has died.

In the early stages, it’s a story of escape, survival, and human emotions dealt with by those experienced in real warfare, so it’s a strange thing to say for the first installment, but it gives off a heretical atmosphere in terms of Gundam.

>>42

If anything, your bald father was also involved in weapon development…

I would like to see the rejected idea of the decisive battle on the Zeon mainland in some form of video.

I also watched the movie trilogy the day before yesterday, but it seems like quite a bit was cut from the TV broadcast.

The romantic relationship between Sleggar and Mirai felt extremely sudden and unavoidable.

Simply put, this anime from this era has an unusually good tempo.

I have no idea what Lalah wanted to do at all.

>>47

I simply want to be of help to the love of Char, but I also resonate with Amuro.

>>51

To be honest, I don’t really understand that resonance thing.

It’s like we understood each other in various ways even though it was our first meeting as New Types! Is that the right interpretation?

>>58

Because we are the new type that can understand each other without misunderstanding.

On top of that, the two who were essentially not soldiers likely had good compatibility.

>>48

I’ve started watching it recently, and I wonder if the camera spinning around to follow the characters is an Imagawa thing… I mean, the overall quality of Imagawa’s direction is really high, and it still feels amazing to watch now.

>>48

It’s funny how it moves like there’s someone inside it.

The voice actor Shunsuke Takeuchi, who plays the role of Doan in the movie, also said that he watched all the episodes again to prepare for playing Doan.

If it’s for Doan’s character preparation, even one episode is fine to watch…

>>52

I want to see your face! I also like that going to see you makes it obvious that it was those guys who set it up…

If it’s a no-go, Amuro becomes heroic and it feels like he’s finishing off Gihren too.

The TV version is too complete for a war story.

The TV version has a surreal vibe with the background music playing while Char comes and fights.

When I watch the TV version again, Char’s inner voice towards Garma is too harsh.

>>62

Amuro! You have to eat properly!!

I’m grateful to the person who recommended that I watch the theatrical version of Kukurus Dokan before the TV version.

The Odessa chapter is packed with events, from the discovery of a Zeon spy and confronting that person, to capturing them, settling things with the Black Tri-Stars, cutting the hydrogen bomb missiles, and finally wrapping up the Odessa operation.

>>66

The mob soldier cheering “Do your best!” in that episode is great, isn’t it…?

Why did Char kill Garma at that timing?

>>68

Because he’s a boy…

>>68

It seems there’s nothing more than what can be done.

>>68

Impression

After failing to protect Garma and falling from grace, I have no plan for how to take revenge on the Zabi family.

>>68

Quite seriously, just going with the flow of the moment.

After doing it, you just casually say something like “Because I’m a kid!”

Sayla from the movie

I’m getting used to it… I can tell myself.

I like the part where you monologue about your heart being frozen in a gambling den.

If you think of Doan as a young person who wandered into a hidden village of fallen samurai from a period drama, it becomes easier to understand.

Recently the animation is definitely more beautiful, but the action tends to get neatly packaged too.

I’ve never seen anyone who didn’t like Kai after their first impression; it’s such a great episode that it stains the Atlantic with blood.

Mr. Woody

“It’s not just you and Gundam that can change the course of the battle, and Matilda’s death isn’t your responsibility either.”

The scene where Amuro is comforted and cared for is a good scene.

Soon after that, Woody dies in battle.

The background music in this anime is all good!!

When that background music like “pyoooon~~ pyoooon~~” suddenly comes in the middle of a battle, it totally breaks the tension.

Which do you prefer, the TV version or the movie version of “Hikari no Uchu”?

To be honest, I think it was a relationship where I couldn’t directly harm Garma myself, so it felt like I let the Gundam do it.

>>87

This is it.

And Kishiria’s direct actions are terrible.

>>106

Maybe because I killed Garma, I thought I should take care of Kycillia myself…

In the end, it’s not a farewell to Kishiria, but rather a tribute to Garma, they’re saying.

>>106

I think if Kyshirya hadn’t fled leaving her subordinates behind, it wouldn’t have happened.

>>125

I’m doing it after carefully calculating with Twining…

>>88

Z’s movements are stiff, aren’t they?

And if I hadn’t been picked up by Kshyria, I would have remained in disgrace…

>>90

A man who thinks two or three moves ahead but doesn’t think much about the next move.

I didn’t know Ryu-san was going to die.

I had a strong feeling that Matilda-san seemed like she was about to die.

>>93

Ryuu-san has always appeared in the OP/ED, so it looks like he won’t die at first glance, which would be surprising if you watch it without any prior information.

Although I left relatively quickly, Ryu-san was among everyone on the White Base.

I was playing the role of a mental pillar that others relied on greatly.

I was like, “Is it really true that Lala said it’s unnatural for Amuro to fight when he has nothing to protect…?”

>>97

I don’t have any loyalty to the country or the military either, especially after parting ways with my parents like that.

>>107

The ending where Amuro finally finds a place to return to is truly wonderful.

In the case of the first generation or G-Reco, I end up watching it from a reverse perspective, wondering how the enemies are going to try to defeat a protagonist who has become too strong.

I’m making fun of Garma, but it’s terrible that I would really get hurt if I killed him.

>>99

It’s true that they are the family of my hated enemy, but I guess it was also true that I thought of them as friends.

Is it Siegax who prioritized friendship over revenge?

>>109

As mentioned above, I did it because it seems like it’s going to work, so that’s the first one.

Since we’ve taken both the Gundam and the wooden horse, it feels like there hasn’t been a good opportunity to go to space for a while.

>>99

Rather than mocking, I think they were trying to see it purely as a target for revenge.

The thought of needing to produce a lot of MS up until G-Reco must have been quite a trauma for them.

>>101

In First, while Amuro is going through mental bullying, Bright is also enduring a lot of pain…

>>101

In terms of simple combat power, Amuro might be superior.

The only one learning about the military is Ryu.

I like the story where a superior and subordinate from Zeon help a widow.

The Black Three Stars exited more abruptly than I had thought.

I didn’t intend to write a novel version personally, but seeing Garma’s moment of charging into battle, I thought it was the Zabi family, so it was a good outcome after all, while at the same time trying to use words to stop him, like Char…

It’s not really related, but the password exchanged by Miharu and the spy is…

The same password that Nyann uses in Ziku Axes.

Did Kshyria actually like Dad a lot?

I know you’re saying it to justify yourself, but…

After all, Garma is not the kind of guy you can look down on.

I feel like in the movie version, Ryuu-san’s death was overwritten by Mathilda-san’s death due to time constraints.

>>114

What I saw was the theatrical version, so it definitely felt that way.

Before we knew it, the two of them died in the flow of events.

Even those people must have children… and yet they aim guns and shoot…

>>116

It’s war…

I thought I would die while saying one or two grievances, but I charged into the wooden horse as a soldier fulfilling my duty…

Garma personally admires Char quite naively.

I guess it wasn’t such a bad mood after all.

It is your father’s fault.

Given Garma’s age, the possibility of him being involved in Dykun’s assassination is zero.

I killed them because they are the enemy’s clan, but I do feel sorry for them.

>>121

Kishiria is almost zero too!

I like the human-like quality of Tomino’s Char, but the voice actor and Yasuhiko treat him as a cold man…

Frau is still a kid, and Seira is too fierce, so it really makes sense now that Mirai is popular.

By the way, I wonder if Dren was treated as one of Dozul’s subordinates even after Char joined Kycillia’s faction.

I really liked the conversation between the mother who wants to return to her hometown and the Zeon soldier in the story about refugees.

But no matter what, he’s a man who strikes back, so Char is pretty messed up.

I feel it’s strange that Afranci-kun is quite normal.

>>132

You’re too pure and have an excessive sense of responsibility.

>>132

There is a difference as vast as heaven and earth in childhood home environments…

The TV version is long, but it doesn’t have any throwaway episodes; every episode is consistently interesting, which is amazing.

If you’re curious about the relationship between Char and Garma, I want you to check out The Origin as well.

Kishiria ultimately chose to allow the Zabi family to survive and escaped by leaving her subordinates behind.

If it was about fighting without fleeing for the Space Noids and the Newtypes that would continue to increase from there, rather than for the Zabi family, Char would have probably looked the other way…

However, the revenge became futile, but to be honest, it’s a bit ambiguous.

I wonder what happened to Miharu’s younger siblings after that; in any case, it’s really tough.

>>141

It is not particularly spoken about.

In non-anime spin-offs, there are cases where someone is sent to the Nita Research Institute and becomes a recluse, while there are also cases where Kai takes them in as an assistant.

In the early stages, both the Federation and Zeon are struggling with a complete lack of supplies and fighting while barely managing to cope, which is nice, isn’t it?

Why is Seira-san so effortlessly strong?

>>143

It’s Char’s sister, you know?

Before Ryu-san died, both the physical and mental state of the crew was in shambles, so it’s understandable that there was tension.

I think there were stories about how Kysiria’s actions affected the war situation because of Gireln.

I wonder how Char was planning to carry out his revenge if he hadn’t lost to Baoaq.

>>162

It must be comfortable for Kai to honestly express his true feelings when it’s time to confront them directly.

>>150

I like the way you say that, Amuro.

What Jinba said might be true… that’s why I’m aware that I’m designating someone as an enemy without having any concrete evidence against them.

In the first place, Garma himself was just a child at the time of the Zeon assassination and definitely did not participate in it.

Because it’s the Zabi family! There was no stronger motivation than that, so it was more of a vague assassination like “I wonder if Gundam will do a good job of killing Garma.”

It went well.

Dented.

The lineup in the latter half of WB, aside from Tenpa, is really strong…

Isn’t it true that even if Gihren were alive, Zeon wouldn’t have a chance in terms of resources at A Baoa Qu? I was thinking that, but when it comes to battles in enemy strongholds or fortresses, it seems the attacking side is inherently at a disadvantage and needs way more resources than just double.

It really is well made as a war story…

>>159

The main force is annihilated and the supply lines are stretched to the limit.

It’s really a do-or-die showdown for the Federation, isn’t it?

>>171

Moreover, since the main forces were wiped out by the solar ray, we won’t be able to recover if we lose.

I thought the Guncannon fired its shots in that position.

There will be a backlash, and that’s to be expected.

I thought Char was a nasty guy for killing Garma and his subordinates with conspiracies, but in the second half, it was good how he seemed to regret killing Garma, saying it was a tribute and that revenge didn’t matter anymore.

>>164

It’s really tough to sense that in that episode or the next, Ryu and Bright were consulting each other off-screen.

Even if you stand on your head, a human can never become a god.

>>167

Even seeing Amuro being that monstrous next to me…

Kai’s perspective that NT is ultimately just one person is nice, isn’t it?

>>167

I love the conversation just before the final battle.

Garma was prepared to leave Zeon to marry Iselina, so I guess the world of Zieg Arcus is where he went ahead and got married.

Kai’s good point is that, aside from getting off at White Base, he doesn’t do anything that could be considered sabotage and even goes to the front lines.

Descending is also the last choice as a civilian.

Injured Ryu is going to say a word to Amuro while being close to Bright’s feelings, and Amuro, that Bright guy is calling you a wild tiger, right? Isn’t that strange?

It’s too heavy that Ryu, who was really ideally buffering as the second pilot, dies.

It’s been debated for a long time, but the way the Newtype is portrayed in the final episode is just fine!

I honestly thought it was interesting when I first saw it in my 20s.

Since then, after seeing Z and thinking “What is this, I don’t understand it,” I haven’t watched Gundam.

I want to bring out characters that are like Kai-san, but they usually end up causing serious sabotage and stress in the subsequent works.

But Yassan is seriously so good at drawing that it’s hard to comprehend…

I love the scene where the WB crew becomes close after experiencing the harsh and painful war together.

Give me a break, Ryu…!

The first one is easy to see and good, isn’t it?

I was surprised seeing how long the episode count of Zeta is!

Right after Ryu-san died, Bright collapsed, and Mirai-san is taking his place, which is really tough.

Seira doesn’t say anything incorrect, but her approach is basically quite tough…

I really love the cool conversation that flows between the doctor who does magnet coating and Amuro, both being technical experts.

You can see that these guys were probably communicating and interacting in various ways outside of the screen in the first meeting.

And probably the… funerals of the other crew members…

The character animation in the TV version is only exceptionally good thanks to Yassan…

Also, there are sometimes people in Texas who have an incredible amount of touch in their offense and defense…
