Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:18+

Right after leaving the Universal Century, something amazing was thrown in all of a sudden.
It was a great answer.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:20Yeahx18

It’s nice how it completely shattered the preconceived notions of Gundam…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:37Yeahx1

>>1It seems that Tomino-san designated director Imamura as the executioner of the Gundam series itself.
In the end, rather than just a clean finish, the new interpretation of robot action became a huge buzz and, as you all know, it actually soared.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:22

Is this kind of Gundam… okay? Well, never mind! Nice to meet you!

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:22Yeahx9

As expected, the fact that they packed in transformation gimmicks all over the body really resonated with my inner child.
The God Gundam feels somewhat lacking.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:23Yeahx1

>>3In SD, the head gimmick of Shining was also very enjoyable to play with.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:37

>>3The SD God had more playability than real proportions thanks to the shoulder-opening gimmick.
But still, it feels lonely without a change in the face like Shining…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:24

It feels more like they just catered to the kids who had their sense of Gundam shattered by SD Gundam at the time.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:25Yeahx22

Don’t just leave it at that.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:27

The Shining Finger was a great invention.
The Turn X’s demolition manipulator also includes Destiny’s Palma and followers.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:27Yeahx3

Finally, the end of this month, huh? I hope I can buy it.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:27Yeahx2

There was no preconceived notion about Gundam for children who liked SD Gundam…
In a way, it’s the most flexible generation of Gundam.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:29

>>9But I have a lot of attachment to F91 and Alex.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:32

>>12It’s around the same time as SD, right? Although it’s a movie and an OVA, there were many rental videos back in the day.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:01

>>9To be serious, G Gundam is a product that goes completely against the conventional narrative of the Universal Century, but there weren’t really any viewers at the time who understood that while watching, so when people say it’s flexible, I can only think of it as a separate matter.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:28

I think it was good that we properly explained everything in a special program before the broadcast.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:28

Isn’t it problematic to trivialize everything by just saying “only”?

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:29

A handsome guy with a flushed face appears, nice…

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:29

Thank you, fighting game boom!

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:30Yeahx3

I prefer Shining over God in terms of design.
God is too flashy for a fighting machine…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:30

The super mode is a clear power-up, and that’s great.
Each part unfolding made a lot of brain juice flow out.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:31

Is this the first time we see clear parts on the chest as well, in a subtle shining design?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:33

The scene where BGM plays and it goes “crack! crack!” as it unfolds into super mode is really great… it makes you feel that way.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:34

Why is there KABUKI as the main machine in a fighting Gundam…?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:36

>>20There are also samurai elements…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:43

>>20However, to be honest, the red mouth that appears when the mask is removed has been like that since the old man’s time.
It’s a category that isn’t really known that much.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:34

I’m worried if you’ll break it properly, so I’m hesitating to show my face, bald guy.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:34

I liked that it was easy to understand even for kids.
From the beginning to the end, I only remember the general flow of the story, excluding the OVA, about a G level.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:41Yeahx1

>>22If anything, it’s probably the easiest to understand among Imagawa’s works… G Gundam.
The usual bad habit of “father and son (specifically, the thing where the child has to settle the father’s mistakes)” and “crime and punishment” were still mild.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:49

>>37To be honest, for most viewers who probably didn’t know about G-Robo, things like that don’t really matter to them at all…
Even in Tetsujin 28-go, they accomplished that part, and in Chenge and Shin Mazinger, they also did it.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:35

The basic special move, the Iron Claw, was quite challenging to shine.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:36Yeahx1

The God Gundam feels a bit lacking since it doesn’t have any leg transformation other than the thruster deployment… It looks neat, though.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:37Yeahx1

I’m interested in this model kit, but there are no specifications for the core lander at all.
Whether it can be separated or not.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:40

>>28What are you worried about when it can be recreated in HGFC?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:40

>>32It’s because there are utterly no photographs or descriptions.
Is that even possible?

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:40

>>28In the cross-section diagram of the neck movement explanation, there is a big hole in the back, so I don’t think there are any concerns about the corelander.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:39Yeahx1

The concept of multiple Gundams had existed before, but promoting it on such a large scale was groundbreaking.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:42

>>29(A large number of humanoid Gundams presented at the Gundam gathering (more than half are seafood))

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:44Yeahx2

>>39(Upon closer inspection, there are not only past Gundam series but even Wing Gundam in the Gundam army.)

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:46

>>42(First Gundam and Crossbone Gundam sticking to a missile and being launched)

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:39

There was a guy who I absolutely hated among my friends at that time.
This isn’t Gundam! Don’t do things like a fighting game!
Just by seeing me putting the MG Gundam I decorated in a fighting pose as a joke, he got angry.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:39Yeahx1

Shining is KABUKI, but God is HOTOKE.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:40Yeahx1

The first Gundam I watched was the recent V, but I didn’t understand the story, so I stopped watching it quickly. This is when I started watching properly.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:44

>>33The fact that the Another, or Alternative, series is standalone and beginner-friendly, apart from the SEED series, is also a strength.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:41Yeahx4

There’s no problem with the Core Lander even though the Crossbone is reproducing the Core Fighter.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:42

However, excluding self-parodies like SD or build series, I still think that the only thing that has gone this far is the thread image, which makes me feel that there are definitely lines that can be crossed.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:42

Meeting all sorts of people in the preliminaries.
Participate in a serious battle in the main event.
Win and take care of the aftermath.
Easy to understand

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:45

The original shape of the chest is a straight ball inspired by armor, but I wonder why it changed again after MG.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:45

Certainly, the only kit I can think of that allows the Core Fighter type to separate and isn’t explained is the Mobile Suit Ensemble Shining Gundam.
Even the Mobile Suit Ensemble has been reproduced, so it should be fine.
Strictly speaking, there is a canopy on the backpack, so it doesn’t fit into the main body.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:45

If you think of the face-open as a continuation of the popular F91, it makes sense.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:47

>>46If it were popular, it should have been on TV with F92.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:45

The golden appearance in Super Mode looks like Dragon Ball, but I wonder if that came first.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:48

>>47The awakening of Super Saiyan in anime was in 1991.
The G Gundam broadcast was in 1994.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:47Yeahx1

Shining Finger, you know.
You’re just grabbing it and breaking it, aren’t you?
I really like it!!!!!!!!

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:47Yeahx7

When viewed as a work by Imagawa, it is properly folded and becomes impressive.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:49

>>51That’s what is normal, you know.
The Japanese is strange.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:51

>>51The only ones that aren’t folded are True Mazinger and Giant Robo…

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:52Yeahx1

>>51Finishing all the discussions in one tournament and saying “Let’s meet again next time!” is really impressive.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:47Yeahx1

If you knew about Banpresto at that time, you couldn’t say that F91 wasn’t popular.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:58

>>52It was partly because there were many rivals that stole the children’s popularity, not just Riders, that they appeared in the game.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:47

To be honest, one reason why the character of East Undefeated is dramatically more famous than the original character from the Chinese source material is because of this old man (in his 50s).
If Shuffle Heart hadn’t appeared in G Generation, wouldn’t it have just been buried in history as a background setting?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:48

Is it true that in the sequel, they are still left with the master’s arm pierced in their abdomen in the Guiana Highlands?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:49

The situation of Gundam in the early ’90s, where they managed to keep things going with just F91.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:51

>>56I didn’t know the release date, so I ended up seeing a game that my friend has, which isn’t Shining or God, but something unknown where Ultraman and others are the main characters…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:49

It’s strange that our side is hitting too well, causing the popularity of SD to shrink.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:51

>>58Although warriors are at their peak,
Isn’t SD itself the main content that G Generation had Gundams up to SEED?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:51

>>58It means that it has fulfilled its role in a proper way.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:52

>>58The Super Mobile General Arc was so much of a grand finale.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:50Yeahx3

So it’s okay for Gundam to do things like this…
That’s awesome!

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:50

The reason W and X appear to be honor students.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:51Yeahx5

>>61Is that so… Is that so…?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:52Yeahx2

In the sequel, Domon and Rain are all tangled up, so I… stopped reading.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:53

It’s a bit of a strange way to say it, but boys who got hooked on G Gundam ended up drifting away with ∀ Gundam.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:54

>>70After that, I got hooked on the seeds.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:56

>>70I really enjoyed ∀, but I was definitely in the minority.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:58

>>70∀ had a good meaning as the final work of the Gundam series…
No matter what kind of worldview awaits us, it is comforting to think that in the end, it all comes down to the beard.
(This is strictly a personal opinion)

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:01

>>70Are people from that generation still watching Gundam (G Gundam)?

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:54

The five Gundams resemble a squad of heroes, but G represents rivals from various countries, W has more individual actions, X has two out of the five as enemies, and Seed features enemies besides the protagonist.
It’s four bodies that always act together in the same organization, but it’s around 00, huh?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:54

Isn’t the Maxstar design a bit too greedy?

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:55

The place where you live is also relevant, but in the first place, there was no way to see ∀.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:55

With execution BGM in the background, a special move!
This can work for Gundam too.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:58Yeahx2

>>75The wings of the boy who killed W’s puberty had quite incredible background music.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:00Yeahx1

>>84W was great on all the themes.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:00

>>75Meteor Flow Full Assault Combination
!!!
Isn’t it great!!!?

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:56Yeahx1

I switched to Mini 4WD after GW…

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:56

It may be understandable that Bolt, with its main gimmicks of Bit-based Rose and Hammer, did not come out as 1/100 at that time.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:57

I hadn’t done anything with ∀, so after X, there was quite a gap and then it was SEED.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:57

I still think it’s genius that the Maxter football protector transforms into gloves.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:58

At first glance, it may seem like it’s completely breaking the concept of the series, but there are rival characters in masks, and in fact, a masked character is the final boss.
Before the world becomes like that in the story, it is quite close to the traditional series, so it has a relatively strong sense of persuasion.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:59

W will kill you with W… (Dedeen) was an all-out weapon that took everything.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:00

>>85(Continues) There are also moments where I think I’m going to die! And when I look back, the beginning was too chaotic.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:59

Honestly, I didn’t think the Rose was cool when it came to models at that time.
The Musha Rose and HGFC look cool!?

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:00

>>86The Musha Rose was great…

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/06(Fri)23:59Yeahx1

Somehow, the fundamental structure of conflict between Earth and space stemming from environmental issues, which is the core of the Gundam series, is thoroughly captured.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:00

G Gun, Mercury, and GQ all win by destroying the opponent’s head!

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:01

There is a beauty in the design of ∀, but
Well, I can see that it’s not a design that appeals to children.
If it were something like the Turn A Gundam Shin that appeared in Build Fighters Try, it might have been better received.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:01

According to an old person who knows the time, almost no gun enthusiasts were watching back then, but kids were watching a lot, and the gun enthusiasts started to panic and watch in the latter half.
It seems that was the feeling.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/07(Sat)00:01

From a child’s sense of time, SEED was already a work that had completely separated from the Heisei trilogy, so I had long since graduated from Gundam.
I’ve been making plastic models fairly regularly now.
