Otaku Review Image

Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:25+

It feels like there’s a taboo in the Gundam series against doing things like that.

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:26Yeahx45

There are Gundams that come out, but…

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:26Yeahx25

I’ve already done it, but…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:27Yeahx17

What are we going to do about this thread?

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:27Yeahx6

From here on, it’s excuse time.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:28Yeahx14

>>4Rather, aren’t you waiting for a chance to insert a remark, wanting to talk about such works in a roundabout way?

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:30Yeahx15

>>5I don’t like that kind of thread creation…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:28

In an instant! Don’t delete the thread!

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:29

Understood!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:29

As expected, since there are many series, they are doing it in various patterns…

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:29

DelNZAM!

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:30

What was the space whale?

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:32

>>10Because it is a prop that contributes to the collapse of religion and the disturbance of people’s minds…

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:30

Space Whale

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:30Yeahx3

There’s a thing called the Gigantis of the counterattack from outer space, which is also the origin of humanity on Earth. Would you like to give it a read?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:31Yeahx1

>>13I’m going to backfill it!!!!

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:31

The setting is the main focus, right?
Humans tend to fight among themselves, but…

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:32Yeahx5

At times like that, it’s best to be honest.
I want to see more aliens and space creatures in Gundam!
You just need to create a thread in ELS.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:33Yeahx10

>>16There’s no way someone who starts a thread like this has seen all of Gundam!

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:33

The cosmic whale is a keystone for creating the world of Cosmic Illa, but nothing more than that.
I don’t think it’s something that can be explained.
It is nothing more than a gadget for a distorted worldview that eliminates religion from that world and accelerates the enthusiasm for space advancement to create Coordinators.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:34Yeahx10

This is definitely a case of someone starting a thread without knowing anything and embarrassing themselves.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:34

There’s no way aliens exist, Katsuragi.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:34

Even G’s Shadow Ninja, which depicts the Universal Century, has appeared.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:34

There isn’t a time-leaping Gundam as of now, right?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:34Yeahx1

>>23AGE’s manga

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:34Yeahx1

>>23Unification of the Realm Chapter

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:35

By the way, I wonder what happened to the space whale in the end?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:36

If it’s aliens, then Jupiter people would show up.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:38

>>27They are creatures from another planet! Already!
Like the aliens that appear in sci-fi movies!

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:39Yeahx1

>>35But Dughati was just a human…

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:40

>>38Tobia’s response
The Revered Teacher Crow

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:39

>>35Alien (monster)
Mercurian (human)
Martians (humans)
Jovian (human)
There’s no difference at all!!

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:46

>>41I want you to add Moon Race as well.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:47

>>61Because it had been lost on Earth…

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:36Yeahx9

It looks like you wrote almost.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:37Yeahx2

>>28If the image in the thread is ELS, it might have worked in that context too.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:36

There’s literally an Alien Zaku and stuff.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:37

Hey, there are aliens called Space Noids that appeared since the time of First.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:38Yeahx2

The Veigann were originally an unknown enemy, right?

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:39

>>33It was called UE (Unknown Enemy).

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:38

Could it be that you were the one who started the thread about Eva Unit-01 yesterday?

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:40Yeahx1

>>34It seems like there’s a kid who has been spamming the V Gundam sticky thread and the Battle Operations thread, just hitting the wall all along.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:38

Inter-species conflicts were probably already tainted by what we now call super robots, so there might have been parts that were avoided.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:38

Aliens, go back to space.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:39

Rather, what is surprisingly lacking is the fusion of real-type works and Gundam.
It’s not parts or support mechs, but rather like a team robot or TF where five humanoid figures combine.
If it’s about Gundam’s combination, it would be in the G Unit…
Also, there are stories about a boy and a robot that have a friendship and talk to each other, with a sense of self.
There’s an aerial here on a subtle line…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:44

>>40It seems they were trying to do the fusion in AGE, but it didn’t materialize.
I think it’s an element that is being stopped because it’s not something you do in Gundam.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:46

>>40If it’s SD, there are things like Gun Genesis, but in real life…

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:40

If it’s Crossbone, then Angel Call.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:40

Because Gundam is a real robot.
It seems like a monster that looks like a super robot is attacking, which is a bit unsettling.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:40

The space-noids are attacking, right?

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:41

Isn’t it because the main theme of Gundam is the robot wars between humans?

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:41

If anything, even if we focus only on the TV series, there are ones that attack from different dimensions or different worlds…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:41Yeahx2

Come if you dare, you Zoltan!
The peace of the Earth is protected by Gundam!

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:42

If we brought out aliens while using a beam saber, it would be too much like Star Wars…

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:42

The G Unit was originally a project about aliens attacking with Gundams, but it was scrapped and became a side story of W.
The Hydra Gundam was supposed to transform into a Flatwoods Monster.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:42Yeahx1

I feel like I’ve almost done everything in SD Gundam.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:42Yeahx2

It’s like a serious alien and different civilization, you know.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:43

So what exactly is the cosmic whale of the species?

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:43

>>54Destroyed religion.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:45

The combination and transformation have to do with the compatibility with models…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:45

It’s a combining robot from the first generation.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:46

In another world, there are Knight Gundam and Three Kingdoms Legend, but is Build Divers the only one where humans go to another world?
Is there something like Dunbine?

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:47Yeahx3

>>60What is SD Gundam Force?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:46

What’s with all the earth-centric ideology?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:48

Grandmaster Gundam! Grandmaster Gundam!

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:49

But isn’t the only Gundam movie with aliens the one from Double O?
Even that didn’t mean they could communicate with Earthlings.
In the Turn A manga, Ghingham mentions that Turn X is recording extraterrestrial civilizations.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:50

>>66Build Divers Rize

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:50

>>68Space bacteria, but Crossbone Ghost.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:50

>>66In Build Divers, aliens come out in full force, you know.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:49

Isn’t that a Cubelay that looks like a Zoids? Is it Gundlander?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:50

Marina Ismail

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:51

Space Noids, you know… they’re aliens.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:51

It sounds like the fusion between MS (Mobile Suits) is similar to G-Fighter or something like that.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:51

Build Divers Re:RISE will definitely feature aliens.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:51

If we don’t do it well, it might turn into Macross.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:52

It’s fine to say that the Veigun also came from Mars and are aliens, right?

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:52Yeahx1

The reason they haven’t promoted the rerise might be to prevent spoilers!

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:57

>>77Is Build Divers Re:Rise a story about aliens?
I can’t buy Gunpla, so I haven’t been watching.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:58

>>81Aliens appear a lot and die.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:54

At the time of the Universal Century, the judgment of aliens is used as a gimmick for themes of Earth versus space and discrimination.
Rather than having real aliens come out and fight like in Macross or Yamato
There might be places where the original idea is prioritized.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:56

Basically, it’s all about the conflicts between humanity.
To venture into outer space, we can’t be doing things like this! It’s at that stage.
Aliens and such will appear in a later era.
Sometimes they come to Earth from over there.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/30(Fri)11:57

I thought it would be impossible to understand aliens.
