Who used such a terrifying weapon…?!
Because it’s the protagonist.
>>1I didn’t know that…
Maybe I was doing something like a wandering protagonist in the blank Sodon training chapter.
It was cut because it was only one cour.
The wrath of justice.
Machu has had a proper sense since the very beginning.
>>4Even though I have common sense, I’m participating in a club…? Is that really okay?
Machu, who is just being swept along and used, Nyann, who is only being used, and Shuji, who is missing.
It was just that about half of it was allocated to a different part, so it’s more of a return to the origins.
You’re the type who likes to return to your roots after going through various meetings and farewells, right?
>>7This is a big problem…
It seems there is also anger towards the weaponization of my identity’s sparkle.
Because I’m a Newtype, I’m directly hit by the thoughts of the dead, and I can also hear the cries of the roses, so that’s how it is.
The training period looks really short, but is this it as we head into the final battle…?
You were the type to act impulsively out of righteous indignation from the very beginning, weren’t you?
This week’s Machu was interesting with a lot of emotionally charged voices.
This cut also felt like nothing I’ve experienced before.
>>13Because I’m witnessing a truly horrifying scene.
If I were there, I would probably say something like this…
Thinking that it’s been a while since episode 9, assuming that the roses are delivered to Io Maggnus, right?
Even if it was someone who acted out of righteous indignation from the beginning, in the next episode preview, they’re only talking about Shuji…
>>15Well, that’s… because it’s a next episode preview…
>>15That response is really stupid, isn’t it?
I don’t think the character is wavered, but even though they spent about half a season on various aspects of adolescence, they returned to being a character who acts out of righteous indignation since last time.
>>17I guess I’ve grown up a little on Earth.
>>19Something may have opened up in the dialogue with Lalah.
>>17Do you think that everything not done in that round has disappeared from the characters?
I can’t help but feel that the guy she’s into is also a little killing machine.
Well, that’s true… I can’t understand anything from the next preview.
I hope that the Justice Machu will be very active next time.
The performance of the line “I’m empty” by the bearded man was good too.
It had an impact.
If you were training with Higemann, it seems like you could handle it even with funnel attacks.
Machu isn’t angry about the mass murder itself, but rather…
Because the sacred sparkle that is important to me was displayed to humanity in the worst possible way.
>>24No matter what, they’re not that scary of a kid, right!?
Honestly, I simply didn’t understand the meaning.
What is this story, regardless of Machu?
>>25Where did you not understand?
>>25If you can’t understand this story, it’s simply that you’re not very smart…
Listen carefully to the story of Sharia Bull and think about what the previous New Types have done, and consider how Machu and Nyaan are contrasted.
In other words, whether it’s just a direct clash fueled by anger.
Since it was revealed to be Nyan, there’s nothing unnatural about the conversation flowing to Shuji during the process of the debate.
I wished it could have been done in two cour because there have been many times when it felt rushed.
It’s not really mentioned much, but considering the content of episode 7, the next episode preview is like, “Huh? When is it my turn?” So don’t take the next episode preview too seriously.
It would have been great if the beginning was like the Mercury prologue, with a slice-of-life episode featuring the three main characters and some scenes interacting with Uncle Midori.
Next time I awaken and fight Nyaan, there won’t be much of a grudge.
>>33I wonder if the burden of the time spent on the One Year War and its subsequent alternatives hasn’t fallen on the three of them.
>>33Even if you have the length, that’s not the kind of style where you depict such a laid-back everyday episode, right?
It means that you’ve grown by having various experiences outside the colony.
>>35You just came down to Earth looking for a man after almost getting caught for stealing money…
>>35You haven’t really done anything significant to call it various experiences, have you?
>>35I had a fun experience at the brothel and also got to feel the weight of Earth’s gravity.
There aren’t any parts I don’t understand, but I still find it unclear why both of them are so obsessed with Shuji.
I guess there’s no choice but to read between the lines.
>>36Since the interactions and depictions during the few times the clan battle was cut are not shown, you know…
>>36Machu affirmed freedom, so Nyaan has only Shuji left now.
Especially Nyann’s feelings are the same as what Sharia talked about with Char this week.
It’s because it’s empty that I’m attracted to it.
I don’t think it’s strange to feel discomfort if anger towards the massacre is used in that sparkling way.
Because Lalah inside also knows of her existence indirectly.
Using Lala and sparkling to kill everyone, well, I guess I won’t get along with you.
In the subtitles, it shows that when using the Zeknova cannon, Shalon’s rose Lala is screaming.
I think when the uncle is saying to save her, he means that La La is going to die.
>>40It feels like I’m forcefully using my brain, so if I continue, I probably won’t be able to maintain it in various ways…
Except for the protagonist who is released like a mad dog and Char who is treated as the final gimmick.
I think the intentions of other characters are only expressed as shown in the visuals.
I won’t know if it’s easy to understand until the end.
It has long been depicted that there are people who get angry for someone else, such as being upset with oppressive military police against refugees.
I’ve had various experiences, but the fact that parents are ignored really reflects the overall nuance of toxic parents in the work.
Why are you so obsessed with Shuji?
>>50The penis and sparkle are amazing, right?
It’s the type that affirms everything.
I wish I had one more season.
The digging is lacking in various ways.
I wish they hadn’t skipped over how the two people developed feelings for Shuji, or rather, the exploration of the three characters.
I already had a sense of justice, so is it really strange to say this after seeing that scene?
Just as I thought.
You’ve let the world setting consume you, and you haven’t been able to draw the main character.
In creating, various experiences were not necessary.
Last week, I completed it while doing something else, feeling like I came to the dream planet, but not really…
I was so fascinated by Earth, but to think it would end like this is surprising.
Is that how it is…?
>>57Well, that’s how it is.
I want to go to the moon, but I’m sure it would be boring if I actually went.
>>57It’s a strange way to say it, but for Machu, it didn’t have to be Earth.
It was just that the symbol of somewhere far away, detached from the current daily life, was the Earth.
When I actually tried it, I realized, “Is this all there is?”
It might be that I have my feet a little more on the ground.
The scene in the thread image suddenly feels like a line from a completely different character, which is jarring.
Isn’t it some kind of parody?
Originally, it’s the case that people tend to pull away from dying.
I think what Director Tsurumaki excels at is stories about adolescent girls in the early stages, but the medium of Gundam didn’t allow for that.
I think it was merely a way to relieve frustration under the pretext of social justice by kicking and hitting the police’s genitals impulsively.
There are only 2 episodes left, but will mom and Auntie have any scenes?
Machu himself only really uses something like Somenosuke.
It feels like it could end in one cour, but it seems like it needed two cours.
If they had properly developed the three main characters over two cours, it would have looked completely different.
Currently, it feels like I’m watching a recap because there are many instances of “I guess this happened.”
>>67I think this is a really fun work for people who can fantasize about it in their minds or discuss it in the community.
It’s the kind of work that you shouldn’t follow up on.
We weren’t together that much.
Many people say there’s no reason to fall for Shuji, but is it really that hard to understand that a girl who’s tired of peace might be drawn to an exciting handsome guy she happens to meet…?
>>70It’s understandable in a way, like the feeling of a high school girl hanging around, but it feels shallow as a reason for the protagonist’s infatuation.
You’re saying you don’t know anything about Shuji.
>>81In other words, it’s just that the character Shuji doesn’t make sense from the viewer’s perspective, so there’s no way to feel attached to him, and even if it’s said that he is charming, I can’t support him.
>>95“I wanted to create a situation like ‘If it’s Shuji, it’s fine to have both hands full of flowers, so please don’t let the two of you fight each other!’ but with the current depth of the story, my enthusiasm for Shuji just isn’t enough.”
>>70I can understand why you are attracted.
It’s not interesting that a man fades out just because he was attracted, leaving the remaining women to act motivated by that.
Giren’s appearance was so disappointing that I cried.
From the first episode, she’s a woman who confronts unreasonable violence with righteous anger…
All that remained was the righteous indignation I had from the very beginning towards the cruelty in front of me.
After the youth wandered aimlessly, an unknown old man pushed them from behind.
It must be a growth in finding a way of life.
It seems like they’ve been doing a lot of clubs and some time has passed since they came back from Earth, creating a lot of space between the lines.
As expected, it’s impossible to do this in just one season; just showing the results without the process makes it hard to feel attachment to the protagonist.
Shuuji also doesn’t really understand his character, so why did he fall in love? Plus, there’s hardly any depiction of friendship with Nyaan, yet for some reason, the atmosphere feels like a tragic rivalry, which gives a strong sense of disconnect.
The beard man is quite an understanding person.
To be honest, I’m more curious about what will happen in this Universal Century than about Macho’s story.
What are you going to do by leaving out all the parts about deepening the bond with the uncle and Komori through training after the last sulky withdrawal?
>>82We’re on a winning streak in the clan battle! It’s an anime that’s been sent in an interval…
>>87I think it’s reasonable to cut the winning streak (thanks to the red Gundam).
Well, since there was no substitute for the performance, I couldn’t see any decent battles from Zieg Ax until the end…
It was exactly as they said, that it wouldn’t be possible in one season.
The “if” of the Universal Century and Tsurumaki’s desired coming-of-age story aren’t aligning, and the coming-of-age story is being overshadowed.
But now is an age when discussions and fan creations are thriving, so it’s not necessary to depict everything in detail.
>>84I don’t think that’s a reason not to describe it…
>>84There is an old work called Eva.
>>101I don’t think Eva is an anime that has omitted character portrayal this much…
I did consider things like the settings, but…
>>101Even “Evangelion” allocated much more time to character depiction than this.
>>101I feel that while it encouraged speculation about the mysteries, it carefully depicted the relationships among the main characters in Evangelion.
>>84This is just a shallow reflection with no substance behind it.
If we’re going to do it in one season, we should have narrowed it down to either the One Year War alternate universe or the青春物 of Machunyaan Shuuji…
>>85I feel like both are half-baked.
>>85The strategy of Bandai is to attract existing fans with the former and new ones with the latter, so the project was originally conceived as a dual approach.
>>97Then let’s take a little more time.
I think anyone would be terrified if something like that happened right in front of them.
By the way, I felt that it doesn’t have a very mature way of speaking.
>>88I burst out laughing because suddenly the tone sounded like that of a protagonist from the Showa era.
>>88Despite having acted selfishly all along, suddenly last week they became quiet, showing a lack of consistency and just becoming an unpleasant child.
I feel like I’m being shown a recap.
If the depiction of the main characters is going to be neglected, then don’t do fan service for the first one…
Don’t get your priorities wrong.
>>92Considering the roughness of Giran’s poisoning, I feel like it’s questionable as fan service…
Thinking about it, if we’re doing Machu’s story, we don’t really need so many elements from the Universal Century.
I was just excited about the usual double stars…
>>98It’s not just Matzu who can pilot the Gundam!
Oh, the protagonist is going to confront Psycho Gundam!
You think that, don’t you…?
>>114The head of the Psyco Gundam is the head! Is Machu finally going to do it? Let’s go back to the time when we were excited…
It’s nice to fall in love at first sight and to be infatuated with love, but Machu, that behavior resulting from it is just too extreme.
There are only two episodes left, and there’s hardly any depth to Shuji’s character…
It seems like the official equipment of Zeke Axus won’t get a chance to be used.
It seems like it’s being portrayed as if I went for Shuji based on the preview, but I don’t really understand.
>>104It’s better not to take the previews of “When is my turn?” or tongue twisters at face value.
It’s one thing to analyze the setting, but why do I have to analyze the core part of the main story…?
Did you side with the Kissyrian faction…?
You can understand the relationship with Comorin without needing to elaborate.
Last week, when I lent clothes, Komori was being that kind of caring.
You should understand it well enough that Machu is coming on top! Understand it!
>>116Well, I wanted to see that process.
>>120Understanding and wanting to see are two different things.
The atmosphere of Machu Como was good, so it made it even more special.
>>116I understand, I understand! It’s great, I love it too! I wanted to say that as well!
>>116I can understand it in my head, but I wanted more depiction of how Komori became so familiar after being harshly criticized, and I couldn’t help but think that it’s unlikely for Komori to blush after being thanked by an internationally wanted criminal.
It’s really disappointing to think that the path to creating a Gundam anime about an alternate history where Zeon wins is being crushed by this, especially since we were shown such an interesting scenario with Zeon winning in the beginning.
>>119It feels similar to the mood when a historical drama primarily focused on Yoshida Shōin and his associates couldn’t be produced for a decade due to Hanamoyu.
I’ve come to really understand the feeling of not knowing what Machu, the voice actor, is thinking.
It’s not that I don’t understand, but rather that I can’t comprehend.
Why is Komori acting like a main character in the OP?
I’ll skip the explanation quite a bit, but I think that compared to Zeke Axis, Mercury does a better job of character portrayal.
>>123I understand that there are various flaws and it’s not something I can completely praise, but I really like that they fully developed the relationship between the main duo and the theme of familial love, so I quite like Mercury…
>>153I think we did a pretty good job of addressing the idea that the vertical axis of right and wrong actions can’t be simplified into a binary perspective.
The current younger generation can’t understand anything unless it’s explained from one to ten in a video, so creating works that require picking up on subtle nuances is not good.
>>124It seems like the younger generation can understand it properly.
>>124No, rather, it’s the younger generation that gets excited about the parts that aren’t explained.
Everyone is imagining the final battle with their own personal delusions.
>>124This anime would be completely rejected by those who used to watch it.
>>147It’s just because positive elements are trending on social media!
>>124The younger generation isn’t watching this anime.
>>163The character design and songs are catchy, but they feel very much aimed at older men.
That character was one who couldn’t forgive the military and police for bullying the refugees since episode 1!
Including the fact that they were trying to fight and act violently in the urban area without considering the damage afterwards.
It looks like Komorin is bored, but what is their job?
Secretary?
Komori is healing.
It feels like being shown an incredibly delicious dish but only being allowed to take a single bite.
It feels like suddenly saying something without any accumulation of experiences leading up to it.
If there’s a certain amount of implied meaning, I enjoy pondering and thinking about it, but right now the gaps are too wide, and I feel like I’m trying hard to fill the empty parts with my imagination just to convince myself.
>>135The most troublesome thing is that there are anonymous users who respond to the delusional gaps filled in by each person as if they were facts…
>>141And when I point that out, they get angry and say, “It’s just that you lack reading comprehension!” so there’s no point in talking anymore.
The disappointment and counter to expectations from the excitement before this broadcast began, as well as the overall structure’s missteps, are things I saw in the previous season’s Bang Dream.
There are too many characters that disappear without significantly affecting the protagonist or the storyline, and it’s frustrating.
>>137I can’t believe the Basque is like that…
>>137It’s a shame to see twin stars and Gihren, who survived against the odds, die without really making an impact… The only characters that showed another side of themselves were Kycillia and Sharia Bull, but even as an alternate scenario, this feels like a failure.
Zikax is rather omitting all descriptions and explanations, isn’t it?
Last week, I was rebelling against those lame clothes, but now that we’ve gotten somewhat closer, I can understand it, but it’s still too sudden.
It’s like a recap of an anime that’s been going on for about three seasons, skipping over so many details and only showing the superficial flow, which prevents you from empathizing with the protagonist and other characters as the story progresses.
>>144It’s not just a matter of length when it comes to Zeke Axis…
The original structure is strange, or rather, since it’s drawn in various places with no connection, it can only depict the surface.
So, what happened to mom?
>>146Maybe there’s no chance for it anymore.
>>149Yeah…
It should be an important part of the protagonist’s emotional change that decides to train under Shariaburu after the events of the previous flow…
>>150I was cut off and suddenly made a pawn of Sharia, and I’m confused.
If there were a bit more description, it might improve the evaluation by showing that Machu can properly build relationships with others, but with just this, it ends at “I see…”
The current younger generation is criticizing the anime community, which is mainly focused on long-form anime spanning over four seasons and has been extensively depicted between the lines, saying that’s impossible.
The gaps between the lines that the old otaku were reading are a bit narrower.
I thought there might be a role for my dad, the diplomat, but there’s nothing at all.
This is my first time encountering a Tsurumaki work, but I’m really surprised at how the character portrayals and story progression are so disjointed—could this person really be a veteran!?
>>159I haven’t made enough anime to be considered a veteran.
I am Anno’s assistant.
Speaking of which, what happened to the clone army that Gihren was preparing?
Is it just going to end with the setup that you’re really preparing?
>>162I don’t think it’s very important since the conversations are cut in the TV broadcast.
>>162It’s not enough length, so it’s over.
>>162If you go out, you’ll die instantly like Gihren.
>>162Isn’t it abrupt to pick up the lines that were cut from this broadcast?
>>178I thought it was a foreshadowing for later developments that only the streaming group could hear.
It was just a service setting.
Mercury ended up being too short on time, so it ultimately turned into a digest at the end, which made it a bit awkward.
It feels like we had some time, but we just didn’t draw anything.
People who defend Zik Axis by saying things like “the current youth…” should stop, as it’s disrespectful to the young people.
What would make someone become so close to a parent despite being unfilial?
Calling Atoichi by a nickname unilaterally also feels quite arrogant.
It feels uncomfortable that I’m not being welcomed in the end, so it looks like it was changed abruptly.
>>170I’m a member of an organization that killed half of humanity.
It’s heavily abridged, and since the theme and plot can’t be contained in one season, we can only focus on the drive and flow, as is typical with Tsurumaki.
>>171Is this director always like this…?
>>173It’s a thousand times worse than usual.
I mean, usually it ends in 6 episodes, so I haven’t really accumulated much dissatisfaction.
The two anime I was looking forward to enough to go see an advance screening of turned out to be a mess, and regarding the 2025 anime, I kind of want to seal away part of my memory.
Honestly, I still prefer FLCL…
With only one season, diving into the Z era with an “if” scenario was probably a bit unreasonable, don’t you think?
Is it true that once it becomes clear that Anki is just a minor character, their role is over?
>>177How did you get to know the former ace of the Federation, Shiko?
>>186Well…?
>>186It may be revealed in side stories or through developments in other media.
It may not be revealed in particular.
Don’t you think that area is not important?
If it were a one-cour anime, it would have been better not to unnecessarily expand the stage…
I’m afraid of assassinations, so I haven’t met Gihren and Kshyria since the One Year War.
The Beard Man is aiming for a simultaneous assassination on top of that, it’s tough.
In that flow, I don’t really know how to interpret the lines about Gihren casually meeting Kycillia and being killed normally.
Sharia, how were you planning to simultaneously assassinate Kycilia before she assassinated Girell?
>>180I wonder if they were planning to use the Zieg Axes to Io Magnuso the two of them…
There is a theory that the Girein clone was killed, but there’s probably not enough time for that, so it might not be the case.
>>184However, it’s hard to understand how someone could casually hold a meeting with a person they haven’t met for five years due to assassination fears, and even get killed without being cautious of the “poison” recently used by the Gihren faction that was found out…
Does Bandai really want to seriously develop works in the Universal Century with the Zeek axis?
I think it’s better to establish a new alternate Universal Century axis separate from the Zieg Axis.
>>185There are both Sambo and Geo Origin, right?
