[Mobile Suit Gundam] It’s quite common to like the design of the protagonist’s machine in the first half.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I love the part where, unlike God, I prepare my Shining Finger while rushing in.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Between Diver Ace and Sky, definitely the former.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I like Elgaim.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

God is incredibly cool, but the face-open gimmick struck a chord with my childlike heart too much.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>4

Thanks to the dramatic change in the image of my face.

It feels like it’s transformed more than God! There’s a sense of power-up!

When it comes to the number of variable parts, there probably isn’t much difference.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

I definitely think X looks cooler than DX.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s common for the latter half to have a flashy design, so the simpler first half is often preferred.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m not sure if this example fits the story, but there seem to be many people who think that Siletta is definitely an Aerial.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I really love the Shining’s hyper mode, it’s super cool with the whole situation included.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it because it’s simple to carry.

It feels just right when I hold it in my hand.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

The rival machines are also Vassago and Chestbreak, you know.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

Exia

That’s nice…

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>12

I’m going to join the Seven Swords…

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>12

This is also true for the design, but the way it was treated in the story made me feel attached to it, so I understand.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

The anime really built up the hype for the first reveal of Hyper Mode, didn’t it?

What is this plastic model!? I’ve been wondering that the whole time.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s only natural that the main character machines in the latter half appear stronger or have stronger settings.

The time spent on design will be longer in the first half of the machine.

I think it is generally a well-crafted design.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

This area also has the basic forms of Kamen Rider and Ultraman, right?

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

I was very convinced…

Was it the power of having a sufficient deadline…?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also love the angry super mode!

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

Domon looks cool, with his eyes and suit all bright red, completely losing himself in the moment.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it when the particles of light scatter all over my body.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Double O around 95 out of 100, but I like Exia about 120 points.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Double X is not bad, but the Divider was too good.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like both 1 and 2.

In other words, the direction is too different for our roles to overlap.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

Since it’s originally a mass-produced machine, it fits well even when used as a sub.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s unfair that Exia shows up last.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

There is a rule that both Gundam and Rider look the coolest in their intermediate forms, right?

…Is there… ?

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

Is it just my own?

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>26

Intermediate!?

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>26

I think it’s a matter of preference, but I believe the rider’s initial form is the simplest, most cohesive, and most beautiful.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

Is the claim that Freedom is the best with Kira’s mobile suit and that Geo II is the best with Geo?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

Accel Fives Fang Joker Tajador Combo

Maybe that’s partially true.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shining God and GXDX have quite different designs, don’t they?

Wing and Zero really give off a build-up vibe.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I feel the aesthetics of subtraction in X.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bright red mask evokes not only kabuki but also a little bit of Japanese macaque.

I also like the usual form that seems a bit subdued.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

X and DX are troubling… both are cool.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like X dividers.

38: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I prefer the Wing over the Wing Zero.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It becomes troublesome because they start talking about laws even though it depends on the case.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

The design that looks like a samurai garment at first glance is strong.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think I’m the only one who likes Conquester the most among the Lancelot series.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Basically, I like both the first half and the second half.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I prefer GX over DX because of the difference in their back views.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>43

Sasaki Kojiro carrying a crescent moon and a laundry pole is great, isn’t it…

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The God Gundam isn’t bad, but its transformation method is quite plain.

I think the powerful BGM in the first half, where the fighting spirit ignites, is more dramatic.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

Looking back, it’s too bold how much the designs from Rising and Devil have been reused…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like the benefits become clear when compared to the successor model.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought as a child that it would be the strongest if we combined the gimmicks from God and Shining.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems opinions will differ between those who want a significant design change and those who prefer an enhanced version.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if suddenly my face turning bright red is what gets to Nameless.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>50

There is a mode that feels like it’s specifically for firing special moves, and the transformation where the biggest mouth on the face changes had a significant impact.

The F91 face open is the closest, but it’s also nice to maintain it for a long time until a conclusion is reached, rather than just for a moment.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like how they differentiate between Fibird in the atmosphere and Granbird outside the atmosphere.

It’s a space shuttle, but since it combines with the Breaster Jet, it’s treated as a jet combination, which is funny.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like the Shining’s armor deployment, but it often gets overshadowed by the Unicorn.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the design of the central part of the antenna because it is unique.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Guren loves the Kakusho style the most.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think there are varying preferences regarding the fact that successor models tend to be bulkier, as it’s necessary to easily see that they have become stronger.

I like how Calibur has fully committed to the gun element while also incorporating witch elements effectively.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

God’s hyper mode is essentially just a chest opening and isn’t very flashy.

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>57

There are aspects where shining with a halo is the main focus.

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>62

But when it comes to the hyper arms, didn’t you also mimic the ones where the index finger and the little finger split into two?

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

As far as facial features go, God is a wonderfully handsome man that one cannot help but admire.

When I was a child, I found the head gimmick of Shining to be really fascinating.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love the completed design of the strike.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

The God Gundam isn’t actually bald, but it gives off a bald impression for some reason.

The head is smooth.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, Gundam doesn’t really have any intermediate forms.

Mercurius, Divider, and Lopus seem to barely be able to say it.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

G is really impressive for handling the power-up stages so carefully.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

While God has an overall sense of power-up, it’s disappointing that the opening and closing gimmicks are reduced compared to Shining.

There isn’t much change even if I let go.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>64

It can be said to be sophisticated, but the sense of bluff diminishes, right?

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Shining opens up so much that when the brain gets burned there, being a god becomes unsatisfactory.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

It must be because it’s before leaving, but I really love Shining’s true super mode the most…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

“You haven’t won at all, have you?” I was called back and harassed, and the transformation that had only affected my face and both hands expanded to include my hair, shoulders, legs, and back, showcasing an incredible Super Mode with unmatched power.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Shining is good as it is.

God is good as God.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I prefer the red Unicorn Gundam.

Green is somehow different.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>70

Even if it ultimately becomes a green Psycho Frame, I think the design is initially being considered with the red one, so that impression is probably correct.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s called “calm mind, clear water,” so you shouldn’t be moving it around so much.

I wonder if that’s what it is…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both the gimmick-rich super mode and the simple hyper mode are attractive.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The golden mirror-like tranquility is nice, but the colorful super hyper mode is cool too, right?

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I like Mk-2 so much that while Z is good too, I mostly buy models of Mark Two.

The design is simply too good.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

I guess someone is making a Shining God Gundam model, so I Googled it and found quite a few.

I just checked it now.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>77

Anyone has probably thought at least once that combining parts that change modes would be the strongest.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

The BB Senshi God Gundam has its shoulders opened with original gimmicks, so I wonder if the person who planned it also felt it was lacking.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

The lid on my foot just looks a bit off and still doesn’t feel right.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked the design of Might Gain, but the design of Great Might Gain did not resonate with me at all.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>80

That guy has horns that are too big.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Ghost Gundam is better in green than in silver.

In the sequel, it’s still active in green, but the pilot was better in the old days.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Crystal Hyper Mode is great, right?

Crystal Hyper Mode is great, right?

BB Fighter Original Formation! Hyper Crystal Mode! By equipping the crystal armor inherited from the crystal warriors living in SDV Land after rigorous training, it absorbs light energy with its entire body and transforms into a light projectile. The super ultimate move “Light Projectile God Charge,” which allows it to body slam into the opponent and pierce through, is the strongest in history!! Crystal Hyper Domo Mode.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

It looks like a God Bird, God Charge.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is that weird thing on the back of Gundam X…? The shock of “Wait, wait, wait, is it really going to turn out like that!?” is too great.

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Shining Rising Ultimate has a similar design, but God is a different thing, right?

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I prefer Alto Eisen over Riese.

Nickname and face too.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>87

A Gundam face feels more fitting than a sharp face.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I wish more people would do things like attaching the weapons and backpacks of the second protagonist mecha to the first protagonist mecha, like in Death Impulse or Second V.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>88

It’s like an intermediate form.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>88

It’s nice that the operating time is short and the durability of the machine is low because it’s being pushed too hard.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really liked the gimmick of the face opening up, making the fins around the face stand up, and the shoulders and arms deforming!

It’s fun to watch many things moving.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

God is incredibly cool on its own, but…

The image of a dirty brawl seems more like Shining.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

Since becoming a god, it feels like the god is generally stronger, and the opponent is like a challenger.

Although he struggles, Domon activated the Clear Mind and is incredibly powerful.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

The BB God looks really cute in illustrations.

The actual antenna is really high up and the top is bald…

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

I prefer Impulse over Destiny because it has interesting gimmicks like color changes through separation and combination or form changes.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the case of Kamen Rider, there are so many forms of the main character in the other work that there’s no intermediate forms left anymore.

The form really changes once a month…

Since Gundam is an anime, I guess it would require an incredible amount of effort to go that far, so it probably can’t be done…

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

Gundam needs to keep releasing a lot of products besides the main characters.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also liked the solidness of the Build Strike in its full package.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

00 has been upgraded as a repair and is being used carefully, but I really like Exia.

I think it’s relatively simple, and although the burden is small, swinging around a long tangible sword is distinctive and has a nice sense of contrast.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want there to be more cases where a rider isn’t the main character but switches to a completely different transformation system, like from Kurozu to Kurozu Charge, and powers up into a completely different rider.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

The God Master is kind of lame, but when others are also powered up, it feels like… well, G Gundam has this vibe that it’s supposed to be like this, and that lameness is starting to look good.

It’s not like these guys have ever been out together.

The God Master is kind of lame, but when others are also powered up, it feels like… well, G Gundam has this vibe that it's supposed to be like this, and that lameness is starting to look good. It's not like these guys have ever been out together.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

I liked the Shining Finger Sword, but it’s not in God.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

Ba… Baku netsu goddo surasshu…

Well, it doesn’t have much flashiness for a name like that.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like MKⅡ better than Z.

I’ve never really liked Z faces that much, though.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like how Rising Freedom has a solid and well-structured feel to it.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

I prefer V Gundam and Gundam X in the earlier part… If it’s too flashy, it can be a concern, right?

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I like Arbalest more than Lavatein in Fullmetal.

The protagonist has a complete hero mech called Leva-Tain.

I think the Arbalest suits the smell of infantry better.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>109

I understand.

However, the counterattack after the appearance of Revatine is among my top favorites in the arrival of successor mechs.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Gundam X more than Gundam DX because it is smarter.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

V2 has changed too much from V, or to put it positively, it’s heroic, and to put it negatively, it can feel toy-like.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are certain aspects that can’t be helped due to the nature of the Minovsky Drive…

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

Between Zambungle and Gyarrya, Gyarrya has a design that fits the worldview better, but I liked the heroic and standout design of Zambungle’s main mecha.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t like that wild type, so Barbatos prefers the normal one.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>115

I like Luppus for the same reason.

So, the sword mace…

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>115

I love the overall design of Lupus and the sword mace…

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

God is refined and nice, but I like the ruggedness of Shining.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to realism and toy-like feel, only the Billbine from Dunbine has an incredible toy-like feel.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>117

Well, I actually think it’s for the toys.

But I really like that.

118: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Elgaim is definitely cooler in version 1 than in mk2.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like it when my shoulders slightly open with a crack.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like that the reason for Revatain’s overly sharp design is its self-definition, making it hard to choose between the two.

The Arbalest is a well-balanced choice for the vehicle the sergeant rides.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love Shining Wing X.

The wing had a hard time because there were no opportunities to shine.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

The color of the enemies becomes darker and darker in the second half, which makes it stand out in white and red instead.

It didn’t bother me watching.

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

Generally, successor models tend to be bulky, so I might prefer the ones from the first half of the period when it comes to plastic models or figures, as they are easier to handle.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Gundam X, but personally, since the Satellite System is gone, did we really need to revert from the Divider to a normal specification, brother?

I basically stack SatCat for build types, but I also want to see customizations in the Divider direction.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the line from the side view of Shining’s head to the tips of the toes, including the shoulder line, is beautifully flowing.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the enhanced version in GXDV, but there’s a part of me that gives way to the iconic nature.

I really love the strange silhouette of the L shape.

130: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

I think the number one unit, the crazy GM, is more unusual and cooler than the Blue Destiny, which looks completely like a Gundam from the third unit.

131: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>130

In reality, it feels like the popularity is 1>>2>>3.

In other words, it’s not good that Unit 3 doesn’t even turn blue.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Metal Convoy from Beast Convoy had an overwhelming loss of live gorillas.

I was even more taken aback by the gorilla from the gorilla.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews

The motif of Gundam X is based on Sasaki Kojiro, which is why it has a smart design with a long weapon on its back.

The motif of Gundam DX is Miyamoto Musashi, so it’s bulky and has two cannons.

I wonder if something like this will be picked up in SD Gundam.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are quite a few instances where the main character’s design is reused from discarded designs of the previous program.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

Blue Unit 1 has a good contrast with its blue body and red eyes.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

Gundam X is a fusion of individuality in its normal form.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

Kojiro Sasaki used it up in the fierce sky.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

White Gale is good in II, but I’m a fan of I.

139: Japan Otaku Reviews

I prefer KOG over Magnapalace… It might just be because I like the first volume’s movie.

140: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Beast Wars has a strong feeling of wanting to sell metallic toys.

Everyone loses their charm.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

Finally, I thought the Galaxy Mega would dash in and make a great effort, but it was completely knocked out.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

The mental growth from defeat and the aircraft enhancement were used in the DV event, so DX didn’t feel like a heroic exchange event.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel that W is more popular in terms of appearances in the later episodes of Zero.

If it’s said to be the difference in performance within the story, then I can only say that.

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>143

At that time, the plain Wing Gundam really sold like hotcakes.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love that in the Super Class, the part where the design changes too much is attributed to Dr. Cash.

Well, but the way Dr. Mikamura is treated… hmm.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of design, I like Mark II and Strike because they are simple yet beautifully put together.

147: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also bought the plain wing.

I wonder if that performance alone could sell it…

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

The strongest is not a cannon like a hyper mega launcher or a head and shoulder cannon.

The fact that the beam rifle has been turned into an incredibly strong ultimate weapon is quite flashy.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m not sure if I can call it the first half, but…

I prefer the more elaborate Crossbone over the unimpressive F91.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

F91 definitely lacks a certain flair.

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to design alone, Fenice looks more like Rinashita.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

Seeing the draft designs for the Deathscythe, which are basically coffin shields, makes me astonished by the high level of completion of the final version.
