[Mobile Suit Gundam] What was the reaction to this rather plain-looking Gundam when it was announced?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

Even if you talk about the time when there was no internet.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>1

This guy can’t react without the internet…

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>1

It existed from 1996 to 1999.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like there are no corners.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

You have a thick chin! ♡

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

Is this guy really that plain?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

At that time, there weren’t as many main Gundams that weren’t in tricolor colors as there are now.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I remember that there were quite a few mixed opinions about the ground combat type Gundam itself to begin with.

The protagonist’s actions were discussed more than the mobile suits.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>6

“We want to create works like this with a land-based Gundam in mind.”

I understand the feeling of tilting your head at something that seems to have sprouted up forcibly.

But in the end, it became a convenient setup, and it’s cool, so I think it’s fine.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>32

In the team play, the lack of Federation MS made the ground combat type a desirable position, right?

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>39

There are a lot of Zakus in strange colors!

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you indifferent to the hornless?

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

I only know about Internet Gundam discussions from the Seed era, but I think Shiro’s voice was definitely louder than the mechas, right?

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I still quite like the appearance.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only remember that Aina is cute and Noris is cool.

After the NTR genre became established, that’s when Mikeru started to be touched.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Removing the corners is quite a challenge, isn’t it?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

In the first place, the internet was already around when this guy’s debut volume was released…

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think there was a basis for this kind of thing to come out, as there was also a gym head and it wouldn’t be strange for something like this to appear due to repairs from damage.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

Wasn’t Gym Head introduced almost at the same time?

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>23

In the first sortie of the thread, Karen’s Gundam gets its head crushed.

The only times I fought as a gym leader were in the main story, specifically in the two parts of the Shivering Mountain.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

At that time, the biggest thing about OVAs was wanting them to release the next volume quickly.

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In games and such, it’s a double return! (Misses all shots), it’s so simple that there’s little action.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was in elementary school at the time, but I was more shocked that there were no corners.

I didn’t know about the F90’s second unit.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was puzzled about how they were repurposing the Zaku’s shield.

I found out later that they were arranged vertically, but where did these holey protrusions come from…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was amazing that even after being so battered in the final battle with Apsaras, they were still moving.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx10

Are you going to make a summary video later?

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be that I’ve ended up relatively stronger by optimizing terrain adaptation as a side benefit of repairs, I like that kind of balance.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first place, it’s not a work where heroic things fight heroically and brightly, so it’s fine if it’s subtle.

Well, that was well-received.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ground Gundam can fight in space vs Ground Gundam cannot fight in space

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

It has been clearly stated that the equipment for space combat has been excluded from the original design.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I wanted them to include a regular episode on making the EZ-8.

I seriously thought I missed an episode because it just casually jumped in.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

I want them to gather the Zaku wreckage and rely on Zidane’s connections to assemble it, even naming it EZ-8, just because there are no parts.

It looks absolutely fun!

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>26

It seems that the first episode of 08th MS Team was cut, so there probably wasn’t enough time.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

Compared to the gym head, I think this guy has changed too much.

Since the armor of the land combat vehicle was full of unnecessary parts, I modified it extensively! The setting has an exceptionally excellent field…

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The special treatment is too much despite the suspicion of being a spy.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>30

They probably made modifications on-site because the replacement aircraft couldn’t be allocated due to spy suspicions.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>53

Although there were suspicions of espionage, the results of the testimony at the inquiry revealed…

“This guy is just a dreamer.”

Since it ended with results like that, the matter concluded with just a suspension.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

There is one person who is not laughing at all…

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>57

That person was plotting to use Shiro to “possibly seize the enemy’s MA”…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>60

“We might be able to take advantage of that opportunity.”

“Is that the reason!?”

“I’m fine, I’ve taken out double insurance,” Karen said while threatening Sanders with the death penalty and issuing a surveillance order.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

It was just that I was suspicious, not that I was a good person…

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

I wasn’t doubting; I was just assessing whether it could be useful.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

In other words, “I’m not the kind of skilled person who can do something like that.”

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Since even the shine shot can be misunderstood, it seems like they don’t really watch the videos closely.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a design I don’t dislike, but I wasn’t attracted enough to buy the model kit.

What I bought was a set of the Ground Combat Type Gundam and Zaku.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

I used to hate Gundam when I was a child, but now I love it.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

The early mass-produced Gundam does feel like it could just be a Jim.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>35

Bandai: “That won’t sell, so it’s no good.”

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

There were many opinions that, while Gundam is being sought after, its face is not Gundam.

The reason for the revision was something everyone knew from the settings, but I think everyone wanted a sense of security and was inclined to keep gazing at the unchanged face of Gundam.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if the land-based type exists in the Zeke Axis’ space-time.

It’s producing parts that are out of the Gundam specifications before the GM.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Originally, it was planned to develop based on the old man’s operational data, but there is a true history that development began without waiting for that. Therefore, whether Side 7 RTA starts or not, I believe that the ground type is already active on the surface.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

Aren’t they excluding side story elements to avoid complicating things?

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

The currency circulating in Machi’s colony is the same unit that was used in the Ria Colony of the Poké Wars, which is quite troublesome.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s quite convenient in terms of gameplay to be able to bring in various items with the weapon container.

It’s not really utilized in the main story.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>41

I like how everything, including the missile launcher, rocket launcher, and cannon, can be taken apart and fit into that box.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

I remember being told I had a weird face.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the Relic DX, I wanted to use Gundam, but when I lost, I got my rank significantly reduced, so I was using the Ground Gundam.

Since I couldn’t wait for the beam rifle to charge, it was better to play with the 100mm machine gun.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like a lot has changed.

The increase of white and the more subdued color scheme have reduced the heroic feeling, which is nice.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Missile launchers are fun, right…?

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

That backpack box really has a jungle vibe and looks just like an ambush team without a back cover.

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The squad with hover trucks, which wasn’t in previous Gundam series, is really good.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>49

The existence of the Guntank and its impact on later adaptations of the One Year War is really significant, isn’t it?

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>50

The Blue Trilogy… was created concurrently, so it hasn’t really influenced each other yet.

I felt a clear expansion of the base around the time of the COVID drop.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The change to MS3 units and support vehicles due to the collapse of the colony is also influenced by the 08th Team, right?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red eyes of Gundam are a symbol of enemies or dangerous modes.

I think it’s an adventure to have default red eyes.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

Where did you procure that from?

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>63

Gundam EX parts here and there.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

That’s good, isn’t it?

Anti-personnel machine gun

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It was all about the story of Kiki in the novel version.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>67

It’s not that people only talk about Kiki, but rather there are many who only know about her.

70: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The novel version has many interesting elements like Captain Joe, the Apsaras Grand Screening, and the Core Booster EZ8…

And Kerguelen Island must survive as well…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

People who know that stuff well will talk about it.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Gundam series has been criticized since the Z era, and Char’s Counterattack was also criticized.

For some reason, during the time of the species, we were really praising Z and Char’s Counterattack.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

It’s just repeating the same flow in both the thread images and the seeds!

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just hurry up and continue with it already.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>72

I had to slow down my pace halfway through…

Episode 1: A War for Two January 25, 1996

Episode 2: Gundam in the Jungle

Episode 3: Time for Trust, March 25, 1996

Episode 4: The Devil Above October 25, 1996

Episode 5: The Broken Standby Order, November 25, 1996.

Episode 6: Heated Sand Front – December 18, 1996

Episode 7 Reunion October 25, 1997

Episode 8: Military Affairs and Ideals December 18, 1997

Episode 9 Frontline – February 25, 1998

Episode 10: The Quaking Mountain (Part 1) July 25, 1998

Episode 11: The Shaking Mountain (Part 2) April 25, 1999

Last Resort July 25, 1999

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

This period is unavoidable, but…

From this point on, there was a change in directors, and that director was particular about the depiction of MS (Mobile Suits) for various reasons.

I think I told the staff later that I was really sorry for making them do a lot.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m curious about the Gundam models 3 to 8 from Zeke Ax.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I understand that there will be some backlash if they increase Gundam this much all at once.

I haven’t been able to increase it properly since then.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

As expected, they betray me and the insurance doesn’t work either.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>78

I declared that I would leave the military, but rather than deserting in front of the enemy, I charged right into the enemy’s main attack, so I haven’t betrayed them at all.

It’s true that the insurance didn’t work.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the EZ8 and Wing Zero Custom are synchronized in terms of timing.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

How many prototype mass-produced units are there in total?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>80

About 20 units.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

The 12 units are the Kojima Battalion.

The three machines are for the EXAM test.

The Delta team has been delivered up to 3 units.

One unit of the Red Three Giant Stars.

The only thing left is that the one who helped Ende might be one of the aforementioned ones or another machine.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

Up until relatively recently, there were indeed enthusiasts here who passionately discussed how the work “08” is filled with contradictions in the history of mobile suit development, emphasizing that it is a play within a play.

I haven’t seen it in a long time.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

In G Generation, it gets further upgraded or modified to adapt to space from here.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m not good with air conditioning.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be precise, it’s around 20 units, so if it’s 20 units or less, we’re almost out of stock at 18-19 units, but if it’s more than 20 units, we can still manage a few more!

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let’s forget the settings for the number of ground tanks.
