[Gundam GQuuuuuuX] I’ve been told that I can’t empathize, but do we really need to empathize with the protagonist?

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

I can relate to it rather.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx32

It is foolish to talk about empathy without any intention of understanding the other person.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

I understand the longing for the extraordinary at that age.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Some people become bothersome in their actions when they are unable to do something.

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

The rebellious phase of adolescence may not be that I can’t empathize, but rather that I just don’t want to empathize.

Or maybe I’m using the words incorrectly.

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

Unable to empathize with the adolescent heroine.

It is a very normal sensitivity to feel sympathy for a mother.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not necessary, but I think it’s one of the charms of the character.

The size of breasts is one of the charms.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx23

There are fewer Gundam protagonists that I can empathize with.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I don’t know about empathy, but I can understand the motivation itself.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

It’s better not to empathize with NT.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wanting to be equal with the man you like is, well, normal.

Normal?!

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

“I am Gundam.”

I understand!

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s hard to empathize because there’s not enough space for description, so I can’t even get to that point.

I guess there might be motivations that long for the extraordinary to that extent, or at least the setting is prepared for it.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I totally empathized with Camille who said “Serves you right!” to the MP!

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Wanting to be free from an oppressive environment is a completely normal and relatable sentiment, just like in “Attack on Titan.”

The thread image is just a bit outrageous.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t know how everyone received the beginning of Zeta Gundam.

If anything, I think I wanted to keep looking at this even for myself.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

Setting aside the frustration caused by the various issues of puberty,

The manifestation of that, running away in a stolen MS and picking a fight with the military police, really feels like something out of a robot anime.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s more like empathy.

I can’t understand the principles of their actions at all, and they just look like monsters in human form to me.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The depiction of a friend playing in a casino with their parent’s account reinforces the idea that students with that much free time yearn for the extraordinary, doesn’t it?

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Even though they have kids… I can still empathize with them, right?

If you think you have to kill from here and actually do it, it would be really shocking.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

He’s an ordinary kid who’s obsessed with the kind of dangerous game that involves getting into a Gundam.

The fact that they are a special existence known as Newtypes complicates the situation.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I can’t empathize, but it’s more interesting to watch than a raccoon, so it’s fine.

I’ve never felt empathy for Amuro, Camille, or Judau.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think young viewers can relate to it.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t particularly empathize with Amuro either.

Just because I have a grudge against Bright, I wouldn’t run away with the Gundam.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Black Three Stars next week will be interesting to see.

Whether it gets chaotic when the original ace pilot is defeated or killed.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are too many Gundam protagonists throughout the years that I could generally empathize with, which is a problem.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

The group of people hanging around might understand it that way.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can empathize more than Amuro.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Adolescent boys and girls long for somewhere that is not here.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Usually, they say they hate it in the show itself.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx14

Aren’t you fortunate from the viewer’s perspective?

From Machu’s perspective, that normality is also boring.

Both are correct.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Machu’s way of thinking is easy to understand, isn’t it?

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

To put it simply, it’s like a “chuunibyou” (middle school second-year syndrome) and very easy to understand.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

The character is one that makes adults (viewers) nod in agreement, saying “what a commendable child.”

It was popular recently.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Not understanding my privileged position and falling into poverty on my own, like an exodus from oppression.

Well, there is a certain realism in something like a parody of standing around in East Yokohama.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Everyday life is boring… I remember Banaji-kun felt that way at first too.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be honest, I remember not being able to relate to the dentist in Tsurumaki’s “Dragon” in this way.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shuichi was doing his best to kill too! I have to do my best as well!

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Did you resonate with Camille, Heero, and Setsuna?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even though he’s not the main character, I can really relate to Kazzy in key moments.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Side 6 is peaceful, so there’s nothing you can do about it.

We were also carefreely thinking that war was cool.

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s quite difficult that you can’t enjoy a story if you can’t empathize with it…

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Honestly, the main character in Tsurumaki’s works is generally like this.

Even the top two, Nono, was hard to understand.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s okay if you can’t relate.

A protagonist that can resonate with people will earn more.

60: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Because there was a line from Exabe-kun.

I thought it was easy to understand that it was not a normal sensibility.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s a prelude to experiencing the extraordinary in a normal way and realizing the value of everyday life.

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Because she is a girl, it’s just barely forgiven.

If this were a man…

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if you blame the users, they won’t just adjust to it.

You never learn, no matter when.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

The flow of the story is completely FLCL…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t you want to fall with a handsome guy?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m already regretting it at the point of the OP lyrics!

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s more like a female version of Kats than a female version of Camille.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

Let only those who can empathize with killing you cast the first stone.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’ve experienced war, it would be different, but that’s just a prelude.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because I am engaging in extreme deviant behavior due to a vague sense of dissatisfaction with the privileged environment.

“I don’t think it’s strange if there are people who fall outside of ‘I can’t empathize, but I don’t deny that character’s feelings.'”

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m looking forward to seeing just how bad it will get from here.

If you keep empathizing, you’ll end up crying.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s enjoyable to watch children in a privileged environment throw it away without understanding and head toward ruin.

87: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

There was also a discussion about not being able to empathize with the protagonist during Hathaway’s time.

I could never empathize easily with a distorted terrorist carrying such trauma from childhood.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

Those who bring evaluations from elsewhere are mostly trash.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Considering it normally, it’s obvious that one wouldn’t want to commit murder, yet Kirra was really criticized, which is pitiful.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

The character Setsuna is based on the Iraq War.

His way of thinking is so cult-like and different that he is truly one of a kind.

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I can empathize with half-formed soldiers and boy soldiers from wartime, even though they are not close to me at all.

I can’t help but feel that I can’t empathize with a girl who is charging down the path of making mistakes due to the incredible arrogance that comes from her sense of omnipotence during puberty.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine as long as you can empathize with the reactions of the mother and Exabe.

There is no need to empathize with the protagonist (maybe only young people do).

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s only been about five years since the war.

I think it’s like Barefoot Gen…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

You touted things like a 5-fold energy gain and made a big fuss about it, didn’t you?

97: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Many people cannot empathize with Gundam protagonists…

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

One of the reasons why political correctness has advanced significantly in America is the “I” part of DEI.

For people today, there may be a part where you can only get hooked if there is empathy.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I feel like it has just become a character that I can’t empathize with because they suddenly started showing madness when I thought of them as someone close to me.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can just have a protagonist that you can’t empathize with, you know.

It’s just that no one is paying attention.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Who is the protagonist you can relate to the most…?

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

The protagonist from the previous series, who was laughing after crushing terrorists, is crazier, right?

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Enjoyment is not limited to just empathy.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s because the generations are different, isn’t it?

It’s fine if you don’t understand what the student movement generation or hippies are thinking.

112: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Director Jiku Akusu (59 years old): “I will depict the modern high school girl.”

Zieg Ax’s screenwriter (61 years old) “I will depict today’s high school girls.”

Ziek Axis viewers (aged 40 and above) “I can’t relate.”

114: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s fine to understand the reasoning behind the actions in the thread image, but not to empathize with them.

If you can’t enjoy picaresque stories, then please go for something else.

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s just that a child who longed for the extraordinary, whether they could explain the logic or not, has become deeply immersed in the extraordinary.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

Machu makes the starting line any high school girl.

I suppose it would be nice to have a certain level of empathy.

It’s hard to empathize with orphans of war, terrorists, military personnel, or child soldiers, but…

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

Right now, it feels like Manson Girls.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most people who watch Gundam have ASD, so they don’t expect much empathy towards the characters.

As long as the plot and setting are coherent, they will evaluate it positively.

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There’s a Mobile Suit that looks like we can steal, so let’s go for it! That’s what a Gundam protagonist says.

123: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I don’t want to shoot… Please don’t make me shoot… Seriously, just stop…

Because I’ve been sick all this time, Brigadier General…

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

I am looking forward to falling into a state where the world speaks to me while riding the Giacus.

126: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Being a woman doesn’t excuse it.

How much is Ques hated?

Well, I’m older compared to Al and Ques…

127: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In this last match, Machu seemed quite flustered.

It’s not presented as a depiction meant to elicit empathy because it’s clearly saying something crazy.

I don’t mind either way.

131: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Compared to Shiro, anyone else is better.

That guy is crazy.

132: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I’m anxiously watching how my mother will die.

It is also something to look forward to.

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Being an outlaw is amazing! Out of curiosity, I got involved with a gang, and now I feel shocked and withdrawn, thinking, “Wait… did it really require that level of determination?” So I don’t think it’s something I can’t empathize with.

Rather, isn’t it a good theme in today’s context where dark part-time jobs are becoming a problem?

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want the protagonist’s suffering face to shine the most, so I hope they go crazy just like this.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t empathize with the protagonist in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo either.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s not about completely trashing something like that.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought she was a typical high school girl, but she turned out to be a real one.

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

The one who cannot empathize will be left out.

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

I particularly can’t relate to guys who say things like “I’m Gundam!”

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

The desire to kill others, even though it is not necessary for living.

It is a type that was not present among Gundam protagonists.

I feel like there were enemy characters.

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

Conversely, a final boss that is relatable might also gain popularity.

146: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Simply lacks description.

Well, it’s the usual Gainax-style work.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

The stray Gundam battles are more than enough as an extraordinary experience.

Ah, I see people are going to die… scary… I thought it would suddenly turn into a situation that douses you with cold water.

Being too aggressive is like a mad dog… Even Camille would pull back a little.

152: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems like there aren’t many Gundam protagonists that I can empathize with during the story… Camille, Domon, and Heero are all pretty high hurdles.

153: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If I admired Shuji who isn’t ordinary, then it was probably just that the level of abnormality was deeper than I expected.

156: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can understand, or rather empathize.

The thread image is of a stupid girl who can’t even understand.

157: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, if we’ve already had four murder battles, the next one would definitely be murder!

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you empathize that much, go watch a uterine love story.

164: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can’t empathize, but I can understand that it’s normal for someone with typical “chuunibyou” to look down on those around them as ordinary.

168: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Neither Shuji is interested in me, nor do I know anything about Shuji, yet I’m the only one being overly excited. I think the director and screenwriter are good at depicting the mindset of adolescence.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

Next week’s Black Binary Star is about a life of downfall due to being a battle maniac.

It is exciting because it can be compared to Machu’s.

Well, it’s probably an internal conflict within the Zabi family.

172: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I think it’s been quite noisy with the word “empathy” lately, not just about Gundam.

173: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s a common story that combines a truly special talent with the syndrome of being an overly dramatic teenager.

174: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Since the person I like was shoplifting, I feel like I have to do at least that much too, right?

I think there are quite a few high school girls who boast about shoplifting on X, and they seem to exist in reality as well.

176: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I wondered if that’s really being said, and then I found it featured on a summary site.

178: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I thought it was relatively simple and understandable among Gundam protagonists, but I was surprised by the amount of backlash.

It’s like a drug-addicted delinquent girl who got hooked on a new type of sparkling space.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t really care, but why is the clan battle doing the same thing as Mercury?

Isn’t it supposed to be set up so that they don’t overlap?

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was judging things like rabid dogs and ED as cute just on the surface.

Let’s watch the remaining 9 episodes and understand it well.

186: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Can you relate to the idea of a virgin who adjusts herself to match her boyfriend’s hobbies?

189: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

There are too many people who interpret it as “I have to do it too!” just because I’m only making a surprised face, wondering if I really have to go that far…

There is still a possibility that at the beginning of the next story, I’ll think it’s impossible for me…

190: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

As far as I know, the only one who wasn’t told that he couldn’t relate during the broadcast was Garrod; Domon, Heero, Kira, Setsuna, Mikazuki, and Suletta were all said to have unclear thoughts.

192: Japan Otaku Reviews

Putting aside good and evil or empathy, I thought that for the time being, it resembles Quess.
