What was it like at the time of the broadcast? There was no social media, so was it not chaotic?

>>1

A medicine to prevent becoming an anti!

I was outraged.

After all, baldness is great.

I had no choice but to trust each person’s sensibility, but the first impression was so unresponsive that it felt awkward.

Since there’s Turn A Gundam and a story, I feel like anything is fine.

Isn’t the lack of three-dimensionality everything?

>>8

Since there are quite a few, isn’t it rather a lot for a main character’s machine?

The manga artists and illustrators were all eager to draw beards.

Not Gundam, but a mustache.

They said that Smough and Wodom are lamer than Gundam.

I seriously thought my beard would move and become horns.

When it was announced, there was a lot of turmoil, but seeing it in motion gave the impression that many of them rotated their wrists.

It’s too different from the design of the existing line.

X aired at a weird time, the design is mysterious, and I don’t really understand the first episode, so I think I’ll pass on Gundam for a while.

When I looked at it later, both the design and the story were good.

“Being cool when you move isn’t really a compliment at all.”

>>17

As long as we don’t say anything, it’s fine to keep living.

The reason this guy is ugly is not just because of his beard, but also because his head looks completely bald.

I wanted to see the mead design faithfully reproduced.

The first impression was surprising, but I thought the body’s lines were beautiful as I looked at them.

When the design comes up from Syd Mead, the bald guy asked for it.

I like the episode where they were in a total mess and had their heads in their hands.

>>20

You’re a hard worker.

>>20

I was troubled because there was no feedback from the other side after watching the Meed Gundam, so I realized that both of us had been missing each other.

Wow, it’s big but ugly!

It was interesting, but no one around was talking about it, and I felt the atmosphere of the series coming to an end.

Does Gundam have a mustache?

There are moments when I convince myself because of the names Sid Mead and Tomino.

Ultimately, people are authoritarian.

I was love at first sight when I saw the first report in the magazine.

They weren’t broadcasting it in our area.

I was just confused about everything, including the content.

I couldn’t see it because of the weird timing.

I’m aware that my fondness for the work makes me see the image in a better light, as it looks cool normally.

At that time, I was a child, so I wasn’t biased in a strange way, and since there was Musha Gundam, I just accepted it as something normal.

It’s close with Gundam, but will things like Flat, Vodom, and plastic models sell?

>>35

Wodom na

This was an introduction, but when I talked to an acquaintance about how interesting Gundam is, I was hurt by the reply that it wasn’t real Gundam…

It’s a lame robot, even though it’s a path already traveled in Ideon.

>>38

It’s lame, but it’s better than having a dumpling head.

Now, I think it’s an amazing design, but I still don’t know if I really believe that the face is good.

Someone said that before the broadcast, the helmet spins and the beard turns into horns, right?

I played with X and W model kits forever until the seeds arrived.

On the contrary, I thought other Gundams were too difficult to understand and boring when I was a kid.

I think there is a certain quality to that cut before being wrapped in the final cocoon and to this face.

Tristan and Siegax are even lamer compared to beards.

Wasn’t the design that first came up supposed to become a sumo?

Bolgiano came out and the story became amazing.

On the contrary, there are also Zetas who have handsome faces but aren’t given opportunities to shine in anime.

I started to like it after watching the anime.

At that time, when I was building plastic models, I thought the design was nice when I looked at it from the back, so I don’t dislike it and can’t bring myself to dislike it.

It seems like there is a rule that when an industrial designer does design work, it turns out commercially unsuccessful.

The beard seems to fit with the work, though.

>>54

Shoe design

Out!

>>54

When the Ebigawa was at Kiyakasen, we were also doing industrial design, but what even is industrial design? (laughs) They were really upset about it.

I like the stylish look from the neck down, but the face is still a problem.

>>55

It’s intentionally this head, you know.

I can only say it’s amazing sense.

Even if someone says that 〇〇 is better, it’s just a matter of preference.

It’s not about likes or dislikes; I just don’t really understand.

I still don’t really understand it.

I bought the die-cast toys because I liked them back then.

I learned that there were people who thought it was uncool back then after connecting to the internet.

I initially thought it was uncool, but eventually, it starts to look cool—what’s that phenomenon all about?

I thought it was quite impressive that such a designer would eventually bring out the Turn X.

If you actually see it, it’s much more interesting than the seeds, but the seeds are popular with the masses.

There are just so many fools in the world, huh?

>>61

First, works that are not considered worth watching will not reach the audience.

>>62

The lines are really beautiful… MG is nice, but I want the new Gundam plastic model.

It doesn’t look cool with the settings and scenario included, but…

Is the thruster part of the foot Nagano Mamoru’s idea?

I feel like I heard that from Katoshi a long time ago.

I was looking at a small art book that came with a toy or something, and as a kid, I thought it had a charming design.

I have memories of the broadcast time being unstable because it was on Fuji.

>>69

It has always been Friday at 4:30 PM, hasn’t it?

The reruns were being aired late at night or early in the morning, though.

Most of the kits have joints that don’t bend at all, and whether the beard is cool or not is another matter, but you can definitely feel that it’s something an industrial designer thought up.

I still like Turn X, but I’m only okay with ∀.

I like the design of the beam rifle.

The expression changes depending on the angle of the beard part, making it really fun just with the head.

The seeds may be bad inside, but it’s been selling well for over 20 years solely because of the coolness of Freedom; so it’s important to have an easily recognizable cool factor.

The boss ambiguously expresses what they expect from the designer and gets angry if they aren’t satisfied.

>>75

It’s typical of an old man who’s a loser, but there’s nothing that can be done.

It’s just that they are allowed because they have ability and talent.

>>82

Matsuo-san got angry when he did the disc modification for the new translation of Zeta, and he decided that he wouldn’t do it unless it was on the level of fingers with six fingers in his works.

It seems that when the director started saying, “I will fix the discs during G-Reco!” everyone was taken aback.

Sid Mead looked at the provided Gundam materials and reportedly tilted his head, saying, “I can see the changes in design over the years, but what is this?” when he saw the design of G Gundam.

I don’t know how to say it, but the beard had a real-life TF-like feeling, especially in the details when it was zoomed in.

I think I might like designs with high density because I ended up loving live-action Transformers later on.

It’s amazing because it becomes really cool when it’s made into anime or three-dimensional.

Isn’t Syd Mead also really eccentric in his own way?

>>79

It was written in Turn A’s healing that when deadlines are approaching and things get stressful, they start badmouthing Tokyo.

>>90

He’s just too much of a stubborn craftsman…

At first glance, I thought it looked silly, but now it looks cool.

Beards are functional beauty; Zieg Ax is just an Eva.

I wouldn’t say the RX-78 is that cool…

The seeds have a dramatic appearance, and they’re all cool, so there’s no helping it.

Tomino is contrary and dislikes such a conventional path, so I am no good.

A type of Gundam that develops flavor when bitten.

Zeke Ax is more gross than it’s lame.

I understand that some people think it’s uncool.

I guess I’m the only one who understands the goodness of beards…

I only like the scene where they come out of the river and take off the cloak.

Well, if you have a city plan as grand as yours…

When the MG with the beard was released, Hage was interviewed for a commemoration, and after saying, “Now that I can say it, I really wondered what to do,” he moved the beard of the MG.

“Oh, so it’s designed to move like this; that person is amazing,” I praised, but it’s too confusing.

It’s a bad habit of Gundam fans to immediately criticize other Gundam series.

>>94

Only one person is saying “Zeke Ax” repeatedly, right?

It’s terrible that the bald guy has now suddenly flipped and said he thought that design was crap.

>>96

Right after that, the bald guy impressively praises even more.

>>96

I’m just thinking that this is the kind of turn it is because I’m always spinning my palm around.

>>96

It’s not now, I was thinking that way back then.

>>96

The fact that we’re suggesting to let it rest for a while is quite significant…

The one who looks cool as they become more active while you watch.

No, the design is just too sharp!

I started to feel a gladiator vibe from the way they swing the hammer, finding a certain coolness in the armored appearance.

It’s strange not to acknowledge that it’s cool when it fits the work.

It’s closer to beautiful than cool.

Turn X is cool, but…

When I take a close look at it on MG, I realize that the lines of the chest and shoulders are connected, which shows it’s a well-thought-out design.

>>102

I’ve always thought that having a flat back on the upper body would be nice when lying down.

I should have bought the Turn A and X from MG.

Because I’m an old man, it’s uncool.

“You should have communicated from the beginning that you wanted a slim muscular young man.”

All Gundams except for Turn A are like this.

>>104

Among the line-up of Johnny’s, there is a bearded old man.

I think the design is good except for the head.

The masses are foolish, so they get lured by what is popular rather than what is interesting.

Seriously, are you stupid?

It’s a well-known story that the first appearance was as a Gundam Smog…

I feel like I heard someone say that a backpack was necessary.

The sound when they collide feels like a “kwon,” giving off a tone like hollow metal, which adds to the sense of a gigantic armor.

It looks cool when it moves, but I still don’t understand what the beard is all about.

>>113

I’m telling you it’s a cheek guard!

>>113

The beard was written as a face guard in the Meed Gundam.

Since G-Reco is after Turn A, please be mindful of that.

>>115

You never know when that might be overturned!

>>115

I really don’t need anything after the ∀.

Superfluous remark

>>129

If you include everything in your black history, it’s a curse.

First, the person who created the dark history got angry at the curse.

>>166

But BANDAI won’t allow it…

>>171

I didn’t say that much.

>>116

The client should subtly convey that kind of thing, right?

Even if it breaks, it comes back, so it must be something important… a mustache.

I think a beard would get in the way when trying to move your neck.

>>118

There’s nothing around the neck, so it’s not a bother at all.

>>118

The beard curves along the temples, so it never got in the way of three-dimensional objects at all.

The design that takes into account how it will move is amazing!

No matter how much you insist, the reason it’s called lame is probably 90% because of the mind, not the body…

I only feel attached because the story and characters were good, but I think the overall MS design is terrible.

>>120

Isn’t the terrible thing your head?

What is this… It’s okay, right… even the most recent EX-kun has gone through it, so people repeat their mistakes.

I accepted that anything goes around the point in the story where Turn A’s head was taken off.

To be honest, I’ve never thought any of the main machines were lame…

Tomino himself was also struggling with the design of Turn A.

What is a beard as a design, I wonder?

But I feel like a two-horned Gundam would really not fit in the Turn A world.

At that time, the broadcasts were so fast that I was just ignoring it normally.

>>135

Isn’t it a time when you won’t make it to the viewing unless you go straight home?

I don’t think there will be a protagonist Gundam that surpasses this in future TV anime series.

Bandai must have faced a strong backlash too.

But if it had a design that felt like “The Machine!”, I think I wouldn’t have been satisfied with it in terms of compatibility with the setting, so I think this is good.

>>142

Using half of the final episode for the epilogue is the best.

The title “Golden Autumn” is also excellent.

The entire round head is a sensor dome, so the whiskers grow to protect it.

There’s no way the Z’Gok left abandoned on Jaburo would just remain there, get serious already.

Maybe I’m the only one who really loves beards…

No matter how many times I look back at the thread image, I can’t help but laugh at the line about Miss Lili Borjano being big and ugly.

At that time, there were mixed opinions from the staff who saw what was presented.

There’s no way it could be uncool! Even if someone says that…

It’s interesting as a work, but as a 30-minute commercial for selling plastic models, it’s out of the question.

I wonder how this project got approved.

>>148

The atmosphere of Sunrise during the time of Big O, Gasaraki, and Betterman was like this.

In the first place, Sid Mead said that he finally understood Japanese robot design with Turn X.

The broadcasting station has changed, so it hasn’t been aired.

I believe it has the fewest in terms of terrestrial broadcast Gundams.

>>150

Feeling the struggles of the Gundam series at that time while being passed around from TV Asahi to Fuji and TBS.

Lady Diana has big breasts and a big butt!

>>154

Did you just say Diana’s butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the beginning, there were times when the animator resisted, resulting in a slightly angular drawing style.

>>155

It seems that how cool you can draw a mustache as a mustache between the meters has become a showcase of skill.

>>163

It’s similar to how cool you can make Dunkouga look.

No matter how uncool it looks from any angle, there are definitely people who like it, so it’s hard to say that no one likes it.

>>157

I’ve never seen a group of people who like Tristan.

I was really disappointed when I saw the announcement at Bonbon.

After that, I saw something amazing ♡ and totally changed my mind.

>>159

When I saw just the face peeking out from the cover, I felt despair.

I was instantly captivated by the fold-out poster.

I was waiting in a formal seated position, and when the sound “veeeei” played during the main broadcast, it was already too late.

Being cool has become a status symbol.

It was interesting, but it’s only natural that SEED is well-received by the public.

I can only think that it was a relief that SEED came.

>>162

Who do you think you are?

I think Akiman’s character design for Turn A Gundam is the best among all Gundam series.

G-Reco has good characters, but please stop the mecha designs.

Every time I’m hit, my love for my beard grows stronger.

The front face of the concept art was too small and left a bad impression.

When I tried making a 1/144 scale model, I wondered why there was a plate obstructing the movement at the back of the knee… but aside from that, it wasn’t too bad.

It’s good because it makes sense to think of the Gundam that Roland is piloting…

Lady Diana is aging, so she seems to be distinguishable from Kiel.

(I’m the only one who understands how well this thing moves… Also, the thin beam saber is nice…)

I love being told by the Moon Queen that Gundam doesn’t have a beard!

It seems to have a will compared to the legacy of the sixth civilization, yet it also seems not to.

>>176

Roland, come on… have a little self-awareness, will you? That’s what people often say about your moustache.

>>190

In the end, even when Roland got down, he was still voluntarily holding back the Turn X, right?

It was unique, but I liked it, Director Suzuki.

Even if I say I like it, there’s no way it will sell.

Even if I get attached to an anime, it’s somewhat questionable whether I want to buy it.

G-Reco seemed like it could appeal to the general audience with its character design.

It’s impossible with the contents, but…

>>180

You can’t really say that since it’s not competing under the same conditions as the other Gundams.

>>192

You should let them do it on day 5, right?

At first, I thought the beard design was nice… but as I got used to it while it was moving, I ended up liking it.

Especially spinning your head around.

I like running without shaking my upper body and making inhuman movements.

I try not to believe people who say that I wasn’t popular with kids because I was a real elementary school student during the time of the beard.

The quality of design isn’t determined by a still image alone; it’s something you come to realize as a matter of course.

Sensory Color Miracle Color

I love the bottom left.

The video of Amuro Ray and Lalah summarizing the Black History is, how can I say, quite tasteless.

There are few three-dimensional objects of Turn X.

Too few.

It’s terrible to think that in the end, Gundam was beautifully concluded, but it got mud thrown on it by Seed and Seed Destiny.

>>188

Thanks to the author not being satisfied with just their own fulfillment, we’re now making the most profit from Gundam.

>>188

It’s not that I’m saying this with the intention of being an executioner, but there’s a meaning of complete affirmation in it, so that way of speaking is a bit much.

I hate seeds, but still…

Even with this beard, professional animators are amazing because they can draw it coolly.

The beard that was scolded for not having a little self-awareness from Roland seemed somewhat pathetic.

The surroundings were so noisy that I was able to remain calm instead.

It’s not as bad as you say.

I still think that the Gundam Hammer suits Gundam the best.

Turn X is undeniably cool.

At that time, I was a child who hadn’t shared anything about design with anyone.

Turn A is my favorite because it was my first Tomino work.

It would feel really out of place to see a Gundam with wings like Freedom in the land of North America…

To be honest, isn’t it a work that relies on Laura’s cuteness?

>>203

I don’t deny that aspect, but it’s not yours, noble heir.

Soshie, Tetes, Meribel, and Joseph have been quite often taken over by various characters among the historical main protagonist machines.
