[Mobile Suit Gundam] The first Gundam I ever saw in my life was by Jikuakus, and I was surprised by how much it had a tumultuous style.

Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)13:56+

What kind of development will follow in a typical Gundam story?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:17Yeahx1

>俺水星が人生ではじめて見たガンダムなんだけどかなり一波乱ある作風なんだなぁと驚いた>俺鉄血が人生ではじめて見たガンダムなんだけどかなり一波乱ある作風なんだなぁと驚いたIt can be applied.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:00Yeahx63

How contrived…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:07

>>1I’m sorry, I don’t really understand.
Does that mean that Machu is going to die in the usual Gundam style?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:09Yeahx12

If it’s the usual, there would be a bit more room in the number of episodes, so interactions would be depicted more.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:10

>>3I’ve heard that having only 12 episodes in Gundam is really short (maybe for the first time?).
It seems that Mercury was also two cours long.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:09

Machu and Nyaan will not fight.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:12

>>4Well, I understand that.
I wonder if they’ll fight and reconcile nicely or if one of them will die… I’m curious about that…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:11

It varies completely depending on the Gundam.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:13

It depends on the work.
In some Gundam series, there are instances where the protagonist says “I’ll kill you!” to the heroine in the first episode.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:16Yeahx5

>>8I have a feeling that this probably won’t actually end in murder and will instead turn into a romcom.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:14

Since the married woman and the white child died so easily, I was prepared for Machu or Nyan to die as well…
There is still hope, which is very grateful.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:19

Is there a Gundam where the protagonist dies?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:20Yeahx6

>>12Didn’t Iron-Blooded Orphans and Char’s Counterattack also die?

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:34

>>12Novel version of First

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:19

Wait a minute, does Gundam really have such outrageous plot twists every single time?!

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:24

>>13If you depict war without taking sides, many people will die, right?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:26

>>18Even so, it wouldn’t be possible to equally show both sides on camera, would it…?
No, it would be hell if it seemed equal.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:20Yeahx8

One season of a TV series is clearly too short.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:21

Even if it rots, the protagonist won’t die halfway through.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:22

There were changes in management.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:27Yeahx2

It’s more of an OVA vibe than a TV series, isn’t it, Zeek Ax?
Due to the fact that they split into different factions afterward, it seems quite likely that Machu vs. Nyaan will happen.
Honestly, I don’t know if one of them will die.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:32Yeahx3

>>20In this regard, it might actually feel more frustrating not to fight.
I want to fight on the riverbank.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:28

If they were to clearly portray the evil empire of Zeon, that would be one thing, but depicting it as just one nation of the space noids is, well…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:35Yeahx3

For now, I want you to go to Earth in any way possible.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:36Yeahx1

>>24I hope the colony has a better shitty environment.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:36

There are Gundam films where the main character doesn’t appear and the story is carried by supporting characters.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:36

There are quite a few Gundam stories, including side stories and games, where the protagonist dies or goes missing towards the end.
It’s quite rare to die halfway through.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:36

For now, robots are fighting in space and people are dying.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:37

I don’t really think Machu will die next week or the week after.
In the final episode, I’m shot down by Nyaan and fall into the ocean of Earth, sparkling everywhere… while saying that I’m afraid of dying.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:39Yeahx4

>>29A line that cannot be completely denied.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:40

It seems like it might end up with a Nyaan killing and carrying an indelible wound.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:41

This Gundam series feels like it’s crammed with too much stuff like the 1st’s if scenarios, sparkling elements, and Omega Psycommu, among others, given the number of episodes.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:42

It ends at a half-finished point, and the continuation will be in the movie version!!

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:43

In any case, there seems to be a tendency to stuff the staff’s hobbies, quirks, and preferences into it, putting consistency on the back burner.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:44

In a typical Gundam, Machu’s mom would hurl insults at her daughter and escape to her affair partner’s house.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:45

The reason why Machi could clearly come without losing anything is that in the end, Nyaan and Shuji left me behind, and I have a place to return to… it’s probably to do something as awkward as this.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:46

If Machu ends up dying after rampaging so much, it might lead to a thought like, “Wow, you really went all out!”
On the contrary, if Nyaan were to die, I might genuinely be devastated.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:46

The mysterious behavior of the Zeke Axis feels somewhat like Evangelion, and it gives me a feeling of being more than satisfied.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:47

>>38It seems like they only know about Eva.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:47

Since they are finally doing a colored Gundam, it’s only natural that there are many people who want to see an Evangelion Gundam!

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:02

>>39Zeke Auks-kun has something that looks like a mouth too…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:48

In the usual Gundam, there are plenty of wicked adults, but this time, the children are also dangerous.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:51Yeahx2

>>41Sorry, after thinking about it a bit, there were some crazy Gundam things with the kids.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:49

But the fact that mom is a good person is minus 100 points on the Evangelion scale.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:53

It’s strange to expect there to be proper adults in wartime.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:53Yeahx7

Honestly, I thought, “Wait a minute, are we doing the beginning again next week?!”
Is it necessary for those who haven’t seen the movie…?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:55Yeahx3

>>45Since I haven’t seen the movie, this is my first time with Zeknova.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:04Yeahx1

>>47Also, the part where Sharia Bull explains why she’s targeting the Zabi family in a way that even people who don’t know Gundam can understand will be included in the next episode.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:57

>>45Well, even if we go full throttle, it won’t be enough for even one episode, so I think there will be a Machu arc as well.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:53

Because the emphasis is placed on virtual war chronicles, I think there might be a tendency to resist the historical correction power that comes through the whole narrative.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:56

If it’s a short Gundam, there are OVA titles like Stardust Memory and SEED Stargazer.
This is the first time it’s one season in anime.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:56

In the first place, it’s quite rare to have a female protagonist in a series.
On TV, there is a second person.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:00

>>49In reality, it’s Suleta and Machu.
The female character Chris, who is often mistaken for the protagonist by people who only know Super Robot Wars.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)14:58

Since it’s Anno we’re talking about, there will probably definitely be additional scenes.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:00

I want to see the Sodon vs. White Base that was featured in the special plot.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:02

The part about the surprise is strong, but it is based on past works.
I wonder if it looks incredibly out of place without that.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:03

What? The protagonist has a girl’s name, but it’s actually a boy?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:03

I’m really enjoying watching the first Gundam in real-time, but compared to those who are enjoying it at a level of 100, I feel like I’m only at about 60, which is a bit disappointing.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:04

>>57You can take the course from now on!
There are various complicated issues, such as Z not leading to ZZ in the theatrical version.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:10

>>58I thought there were too many episodes to binge-watch all at once, but then the Gundam channel started to upload the original series (is that correct?), so now I’m slowly going through it with that!

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:05

>>57However, if you watch the past Gundam series after this, being able to enjoy it at over 100 is a way of enjoyment that only those who haven’t seen the previous works can experience.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:05Yeahx4

>>57I think first-time viewers are enjoying it 100%.
Ganota has bonuses due to the accumulation of the past.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:06

>>57Sometimes it’s a bit tough to watch the entire Z Gundam TV series.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:07

>>62Therefore, it is recommended that Z watch the two theatrical versions before watching the latter half of the TV series.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:07

>>64Is there such a technique…?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:06

Well, there was a time when old-school Gundam fans only talked about Char, who was at his peak in the beginning.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:08Yeahx1

If you look back at it from a long time ago, you may find yourself more focused on the situation between the Zeon and the Federation in the background.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:12

>>66I’m watching this work, and I see the green uncle saying he’s going to… kill the upper management…! I’m thinking, if he does that, won’t the Federation take advantage of it? Are you okay? But is everything really okay?

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:16

>>77It’s a place that isn’t really okay, so it’s fine to have that impression.
It’s joked that Char will take the top position, but that’s not realistic. I wonder what they will actually do.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:08

It’s heavily changed in the last part, so I guess there is a way to look at it like that.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:08Yeahx4

It’s羨ましい that we can all get so excited together every week online in real time.
I wanted to be as excited as now with things like ∀ and G-Reco.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:10

>>68∀ has a time zone…
At a level where Zeke Axe looks cute.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:11

>>74Wasn’t it Friday evening?
The core time of kids’ anime at that time.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:14

>>68It’s just an image, but it seems like during that era, the conversations during elementary school break times would have been lively enough to fill the internet.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:16

>>82When I was in junior high or elementary school, nobody else watched it except for me…

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:23

>>87I wasn’t even broadcasting…

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:08

I was laughing out loud because a song by Yoshida Sensha called “Kikero” started playing while I was hanging out.
Well, it seems like you would like it…

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:09

It sounds interesting to have the main character wear a mask because being recognized can lead to various troubles!

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:09

There are too many characters in the Z movie that have so little screen time.
Couldn’t Fow have been handled a little better at least?

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:10Yeahx2

Z is tough in the TV version, but the way it summarizes the theatrical version is also tricky.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:10

The first Gundam is interesting, as it is the beginning of the series.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:12

>>75Shall we have you watch all the episodes of this anime series?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:13

>>75However, it got canceled… The reasons are poor toy sales and low viewer ratings.
Gunpla was released in line with the reruns after the broadcast ended.
I can’t really believe it right now.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:12

I feel like my motivation won’t last if I watch the second half of the Z movie without any new animation.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:14

Real-time reactions are generally intense with both praise and criticism, so if you dislike that, it’s also good to watch after things have settled down.
Some works that were heavily criticized in real-time can be enjoyed and discussed now.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:15

There aren’t really any unique templates that are specific to Gundam after all.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:15

>>83I’ll bring out a masked character! The main machine is white or tricolor!
It’s about that much.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:17

>>84The second aircraft will be stolen (not mandatory).

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:16

If it were the usual Director Tsurumaki, it would probably end with the three of them having a conflict, going through various circumstances, and then returning to their respective everyday lives without ever meeting again.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:16Yeahx1

I’m really enjoying it on my first viewing, but the Gundam franchise is so vast that I don’t understand a lot of it, and it’s kind of annoying that spoilers come from seemingly unrelated connections.
When told to look at it the fastest, I can’t argue back.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:16

People who see the first series for the first time after entering through Z Gundam are, in a way, enviable. As an old otaku, I’ve been watching the first series on repeat for ages, so the experience is different. But for those watching it for the first time, that feeling can only be experienced once…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:18

I think I would really like Machu if they became a masked character.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:20

>>91It seems like Nyaan is the one who would wear a mask…

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:19

What remains is to face the unreasonable to the point of riding in a mobile suit in the first episode; resistance to the unreasonable is a major common element of Gundam.
It’s troublesome to hear that it’s said most fiction is like that, but…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:19

In the TV version, it might also be that the protagonist is not an adult, which is a common trope.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:20

Even ancient otaku completely missed the mark with the Psycho Gundam story, so it’s really unpredictable how things will go until the end, so I don’t think you need to worry too much about being a first-time viewer.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:22Yeahx1

There are also Gundams where beings that speak incomprehensible words get crushed and become ghosts or merge together…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:33

It was the same during the Mercury time, but it has become the usual Gundam again.
There aren’t really many of the same themes to the extent that you can say, “Which is the usual Gundam?”
Barely SEED was made in the same vibe as the original 21 series and Z, so it has some familiar developments.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:35Yeahx2

I think the usual Gundam refers to Z, not the First.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:36Yeahx1

When they start to divide into multiple factions and engage in a brutal war, it feels like Gundam.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:37

It is said that the poor thing, Exabe-kun, will be wearing a mask in season 2.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:38

I think the gloomy public image of Gundam is mostly attributed to Z.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:38Yeahx2

I haven’t watched much of the Anma series, but this amount of romantic developments… Is it really okay to call this romantic developments?
Anyway, is it the style of Tsurumaki that both the social situation and the emotional movements of Machunyan are focused on in a relatively micro world?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:41

>>104It feels like Gundam focuses on the psychological portrayal and relationships of boys and girls caught up in war.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:38

Youth and its runaway nature is the director’s specialty.
Also, I’m good at giving off an unusually sticky, unpleasant feeling.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:40

Tsutsumaki has nothing to do with it; Enodo’s scripts, like in Star Driver, etc.
It seems like there’s a big situation happening globally, but the boys and girls have been moving forward like it has nothing to do with them.
Both of them have that style, and they probably receive such requests.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:42Yeahx1

This is interesting in its own way, but it’s not the type that gives you a big burst of catharsis, is it?

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:42

The sight of young people complicating their青春 (youth) and behaving in eccentric ways is the ultimate entertainment.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:45

It was a one-cour program.
Do you want to see the continuation in the movie version? Is that okay?

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:46

>>110No one knows.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:50

>>110I don’t know, but neither Iron-Blooded Orphans nor Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury had any hint of Season 2 until the very last episode of Season 1.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:46Yeahx1

Whether it’s good or bad, I think it’s a bit different from before in that there are enemies opposing my camp that I have to fight against.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:49Yeahx1

>>111It’s unfortunate if this situation arose while dealing with an unavoidable circumstance…
“You’re the one who decided it from start to finish, right? So there’s no room for mercy.”

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:48

I wonder if there will be an opening in the schedule for a movie version or a second season… It seems like the continuation will be in three years or so.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:51

It seems that they only recorded the number of voices corresponding to the episodes, regardless of whether it will be completed or not.
At least at this point, only one season’s worth should have been produced.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:52

Well, I guess this is probably rock bottom, so I’ll somehow manage to climb back up.
Well, it would be a problem if you didn’t manage to pull yourself up.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:54

If this story is the first episode, it seems like it will have quite a Gundam-like feel to it.
The protagonist feels like they are caught up in a fight after being arrested.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:55

One season is enough for this…

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:55Yeahx1

>>119No, I want you to do it for 4 cours.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/22(木)15:58Yeahx2

It may sound that way just by talking, but from the concept of promoting mobile suits, I want them to be a bit more aggressive.
