[Gundam GQuuuuuuX] Isn’t it strange that it’s creepy when it’s a toy, but cool when it moves?

Red Gundam, White Gundam METAL ROBOT SPIRITS merchandise confirmed. Details will be revealed on February 3, 2025 (Monday)! *Colors and sizes may differ from the actual product. METAL ROBOT SPIRITS

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx43

That’s how it is.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx29

One of the features of Ikuto’s mech is that it looks really cool when it moves.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most Gundam shows have a somewhat vague first impression, but…

Doesn’t it look cool when it moves?

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx30

The white one is creepy even when it moves.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

The red one isn’t that creepy even as a toy, right?

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Because it is not bound by physical laws and can also use fake parses…

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>6

By the way, recreating 2D’s false perspective in 3D is…

I wonder how much it’s used in the robot genre.

The examples you often see are usually characters, so it’s hard to understand.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

It’s easy to see when using the Luger Lance in Fafner, but it’s used quite frequently.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

In reality, there is no movement.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

(Head spin)

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Zeke Axes is generally good.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red shield is cool.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx22

I think the cool part is that even when it moves, it’s creepy or scary.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Even so, I don’t feel like buying it.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let me buy a Gundam model.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

You can find Zeke Axes on Amazon.

Not reselling, but the one for Amazon sales.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

It’ll arrive in May, but since it’s the regular price, I guess it’s fine…

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

The right side has a strong construction machinery vibe.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

I find it interesting and like that when it becomes a four-eyed creature, it’s hard to recognize it as a face.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ikuto’s mecha has a default standing pose that’s no good…

Something is vague.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Turn A is cool when it’s moving too…

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s not really a compliment since it’s true that anything looks cool when it moves, even Quantum.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dignity destruction shield is still laughable.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think red is generally good.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Red is cool, but the heroic color on the right doesn’t suit it at all.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Metal robots have already seen significant price reductions on both sides.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

Isn’t it Pre-Ban?

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

If you understand that, then the general public should be able to understand two things.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

The 01 Gundam was simply cool.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

The face…

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

On the right, I keep feeling an odd sensation like it’s an Eva’s derivative machine painted in Gundam colors.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>27

I understand.

But I like the feeling of the construction machinery in the yellow part.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the face is properly colored in the same way as the original, it looks cool…

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

The tricolor is actually not that cool.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The white one doesn’t match the eye color.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even with movement, it was hard to understand with CG.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I recently realized that it feels like two faces, one normal and one upside down, are stuck together.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

When people say something looks cool when it moves, they tend to credit the design, but I think it’s really just the animator that’s amazing.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

In other words, a standing pose like in the concept art doesn’t suit me at all.

Same type as Turn A.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be since Sid Mead that we’ve deviated so far from traditional design.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t say anything because Turn A Gundam is moving and looks cool.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did they change the color of the main camera here in Zeon?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

It has been said numerous times, but I think it’s quite a sense of balance that they kept the coloring close to the original yet did not paint the chin red.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

The coloring on the right is really exquisitely creepy.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if it’s said to be a parody robot of Gundam that appeared in another anime, I would normally believe it.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I understand that I’m intentionally leaving it out, but even so, I couldn’t recognize this as Gundam.

Is this what it means to be an old type…?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

I also could only see this as a grotesque form similar to Gundam.

That’s why we can trace the movements of Gundam that we’ve seen so many times that we’re bored of it.

I think it’s a direction that strongly confronts you with the idea that it’s a world that’s the same yet different.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like it’s not really broken to the extent of breaking the design.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>45

It might be thanks to the coloring, but I think the part from the neck down really cares about preserving the original image.

The head design, which interprets the mouth area in a sub-eye-like manner and makes Vulcan quite robust, is truly unique.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>45

Is this really Gundam after about 20 years?

There’s been a huge increase in Gundam designs like that…

There was already a fourth Gundam.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it’s extremely up close, it really does look like the face of Gundam.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Somehow, HG is a bit different.

This one is more faithful.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

There are aspects where differences in design and durability occur in current Gundam models, but it cannot be helped.

I feel like Gikax is intentionally changing its shape.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

The HG seems unable to replicate the thinness of those arms because it is small.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

Does that mean that since Zeke Axe is all flashy, the old man with the same Gundam type needed to be flashy too?

Still, it doesn’t feel much like Gundam; it really suits the name ◯◯ Demon.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

This arrangement is better than the original’s flat feeling; it has more of a heavy machinery vibe.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

Every time I hear stories like this, I think that it’s not just that moving is cool, but rather that the movement itself is what is cool.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>52

It means that it is designed to move properly.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

I can understand saying that about toys, but it’s a different story in two-dimensional lies and anime, so it’s not off-base.

Well, it’s not that I deny that the impression of the thread image can change positively for any reason.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red bit really looked like an organ and was gross.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

I looked at the proposal for Eva and said there’s no way such a creepy robot would sell.

You can enjoy the feeling of being a clueless old sponsor, which is quite a bargain!

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>54

I don’t know what position you think you’re speaking from, but you really have a bad mouth and a bad personality.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

White guns are gross, but red guns are normally cool if you keep your eyes wide open.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

Depending on the person, some might think it’s gross to look at the toy before the video, and I had a realization while reading the thread without a name.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>60

In other words, since I often see the design sketches first, my first impressions will generally be similar.

There may certainly be some people who think the thread image is cool just by looking at the design from the beginning.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was my first time seeing it in motion in a movie…

The first one was even more casually cool.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

It might be good to move the toys too.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

The three-dimensional objects don’t really resemble each other that exquisitely, and that has happened even in aerials.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do you want the thread image?

Isn’t it uncool?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

Red is cool in a bizarre way.

White is definitely impossible to color.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think there’s an emphasis on flashy appearance that lacks the accompanying beauty of a weapon.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>68

Do you understand what the term “genre” means when you say that?

What part of the thread image is appealing to the masses?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

The new design of the Zaku is cool, but I think the Gundam is lame.

But the head that was completely turned into a gun turret looked both creepy and cool.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

The movement of the animation was too fast compared to the design, so I couldn’t really understand what was happening.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>73

?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

If you don’t understand the meaning and can’t even read the characters, then just say so.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I think we should start by challenging the idea that beauty as a weapon is just a vague matter of personal preference.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

Are you possibly confusing the term “popular appeal” with something like “the mainstream”?

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>76

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

Whether it actually resonates with the general public is a matter of hindsight, and aiming for an extravagant design with that in mind is a conventional strategy to seek popular appeal.

The addition of special flavors to existing products is the prime example of this.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

Isn’t that just your personal assumption?

Did they say that officially?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

Just go read it a million times.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

I laugh because I can’t read the part about bluffing and deception.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>85

If they could read properly, they wouldn’t come to such a stupid conclusion that the thread image is just a bluff or a deceptive design.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I don’t even know what we’re talking about anymore, but isn’t it about how aiming for an extravagant design lacks beauty as a weapon?

Rather, I think the thread image has a more weapon-like appearance due to industrial arrangements, so I can’t completely agree.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Barely made a mass of sensors look like a face.

Interpretation of combining it with a Vulcan to make a gun turret.

Making the thighs into tanks and making the legs serve as both posture control thrusters and other functions more understandable.

The intention of the design, such as roll bars for protecting the fists and reinforcing the shoulders, is easy to understand.

The design is attractive as a machine.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

What is beauty as a weapon, I wonder?

I think it looks much more like a weapon with a sense of reality than the heroic design of the first generation.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I can understand if it’s heavy machinery, though.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is that so…?

I guess so…

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think it’s interesting and I like it enough to pre-order model kits.

When I’m told I’m gross, I also think I’m gross, so I can only say yeah, and if you say you dislike me because I’m gross, I can’t argue against that.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

An eight-headed Gundam is creepy.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t really understand it well, but I know it in detail; this is what leads to the face-off of F91, so to speak, it’s a full-body face-off state.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Always the same Eva.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it comes to being cool while moving, it’s the beard.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

I just thought, is it Bandai’s intention for the RX-78 to have a more monstrous look while the Zeek Axis has a design that’s closer to the usual Gundam face?

I remember that Aerial had a uniquely feminine face on Mercury, but when it was upgraded, it had the usual Gundam face.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Somehow, the colors of the Federation’s Gundam evoke a sense of caution that reminds me of bees…

The red one feels somehow more calming…

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t think there are many things, not just Gundam, that look cool even when they’re moving, despite having a somewhat unappealing appearance.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

The red uncle can be seen as some kind of MS, but it looks really off before painting.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

Zeke Ax is not the usual Gundam face.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love how it was twitching when it restarted; it felt so creepy and weird.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If something looks cool when it moves, it’s because most things will turn out that way when they are animated, so it’s hard to evaluate the quality of the design unless it makes good use of the design itself.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

Moving coolly is the path taken by Turn A…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the charm and strength of a beard lies more in how it suits the everyday scene of hanging laundry than in its coolness during combat.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Just thinking about a high school girl piloting it somehow makes it look cute.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

Response from Ziek Axus

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it stuff from Inber?

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

Your face is too creepy.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

The white one was slightly hunched over when it started walking after getting up, which added to its creepiness.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s mysterious how there are moments when it feels like this is Gundam, right?

I don’t even know what 기준 I felt that way.

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>113

If it has horns and two eyes,

It wasn’t just two.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

The design of Gundam is ridiculous the moment a bald guy starts growing a beard.

I feel like they were already taking quite a few risks with Z Gundam.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>116

Rather, I think both are the establishment or reaffirmation of Gundam-like symbols.

It’s not like things like the Hazel or the Sumo were accepted as main Gundams.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

If your face is normal, you wouldn’t be scared while peeking at the wooden horse.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like the white one intentionally makes its head movements creepy, but since it turned red, it has felt really cool.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>118

I really love the scene where they land and stand up in the refugee camp.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

The bottom left looks cool even in the photo.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

White feels unsettled because yellow is present in various places, so even when it moves, it might feel weird.

Compared to white, the yellow on the red is more of a standout point.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like they are intentionally showcasing the skeletal structure, including the face.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

What makes it feel scary in the anime is also the fact that the BGM when this guy goes on a rampage is mainly like the music from a horror game when you’re being chased by a pursuer…

125: Japan Otaku Reviews

However, Zieg Ax was cornered by the military police Zaku in front of the airlock and looked a bit alluring.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m recognizing it as Gundam because it comes with the name and setting attached.

If presented without any context, it might be interpreted as something else painted in Gundam colors.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels like it’s designed with red as a premise.

The tricolor makes it twice as creepy.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder why the eye color is changing.

I wonder if it’s the balance when it’s changed to red.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews

The whiteness feels even creepier because it’s a familiar movement and familiar coloring.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

It may be due to the influence of the psychic network in the setting, but Zeke Axes has actions that are quite girlish, doesn’t it?
