[Gundam GQuuuuuuX] As more and more elements from the old Gundam are coming out, I’m enjoying it this season as someone seeing Gundam for the first time, but it feels like I’m being left behind in some way.

Otaku Review Image

“Seems fun…”

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:14Yeahx11

Second Lieutenant is cute.

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:15Yeahx8

If it’s a full-on parallel, I might be able to watch it without worrying about the elements from the old works.

189: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:58

>>2Even if it’s something you don’t have to worry about in terms of relationships, it seems to be required as prerequisite knowledge…

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:17Yeahx13

This is definitely made with the assumption that you’re watching it more seriously than I thought…
Well, it’s been like that since the beginning.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:18

Well, if you watch the conversation between anonymous users, you can kind of understand what’s going on, so surprisingly, even if you don’t know, you can still enjoy it.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:20Yeahx28

Since the analysis guys are confidently making wrong predictions, there’s no need to watch the old works!

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:29

>>5I haven’t thought that far.
I like the feeling of being whisked around.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:21Yeahx3

Oh… so that’s how it is in the old version… I’m watching while thinking that.
Fun

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:22Yeahx1

Since the original character is a man from a high castle, it is a premise that he knows the history of his original world…

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:22

For now, I’m enjoying it, but I think that for new Gundam fans or those who haven’t seen 1st or Z, they might only enjoy about 20% of it.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:30Yeahx3

>>8That’s crazy, it means I’ll enjoy it five times more if I take the old elements course!

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:59

>>16It’s an energy gain of over 5 times…!

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:22

Ah, you can’t enjoy this if you don’t understand it! Rather than doing it.
>>16Let it be so.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:23

The viewing experience feels too much like a derivative work of the original source material that I don’t know.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:24

It’s fun just to see old characters and mobile suits that I do or don’t know.
I always had the question of whether people who don’t know about the Universal Century Gundam can enjoy this.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:05Yeahx2

>>10It’s often said, but isn’t that something the viewers don’t need to worry about?

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:14

>>53But don’t you feel a bit concerned if a thread like this is created?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:14Yeahx2

>>65No, not at all.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:25

But if you know the details of the old works, there are many moments that will make you go “wow,” so it’s better to watch them!

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:25

Old work fan: “Blaubl… Cicero!?”

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:57

>>12“I became a Cicero… so skinny…”

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:27

Mercury was designed to target new entrants, but…
This work is really aimed at long-time fans.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:30

It’s the same feeling as when I was watching Getter Robo Arc.
Readers of the original work! When someone asks, “What’s this!?” I really don’t know what that is…

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:35

I honestly didn’t expect such a dedicated fanbase before the movie started…

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:39

The possibility of Hermes was pointed out, but it comes from a world where Char is dead…

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:39

I have a general grasp of the Super Robot Wars knowledge and the flow here, so there’s no problem!

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:40

If you’re curious, you can just watch the original later.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:41

Gundam: The story of Amuro and Char fighting.
It was mostly correct.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:43

No matter how many times we try, the red one loses, and the contents of the rose interfering in that world too.
It seems different from the Universal Century where the uncles start speaking quickly.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:43

Even the frozen Lalah seems different from the 1st person, so I have no idea at all.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:44

It feels like a Tomino’s death RTA.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:45

The focus of the story is always on Machu and Nyaan, so it should be enjoyable even for those without any prior knowledge.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:46

Amuro is too strong, isn’t he?

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:46Yeahx3

I, on the contrary, can’t cope with the fan works being too strong.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:47

There are too many fan-made elements, and the protagonist has a small role.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:47

Since they have dared to do a certain taboo by airing a fictional war story of Gundam,
There is no choice but to stick to that line.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:49Yeahx5

>>29Origin and Sunbow, etc.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:47

On the contrary, there are too many confusing parts when watching the original work.
At what point did Lalah, who is stopped in that Hermes, come over here… It seems it wasn’t when Amuro shot her down since the cockpit is intact.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:50

>>30It’s like time stops and you move to another world while the beam saber is stuck and the beam reaches the cockpit.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:48

You’re from a world where Lalah failed to protect Char, aren’t you?

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:49

It feels rare for a work in the UC series to focus on Lalah throughout the entire piece.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:51Yeahx1

I’m glad I prepared by watching the theatrical trilogy before the broadcast.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:51

There is also a slight discrepancy with the first.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:51

My knowledge of Gundam comes only from passive smoking here and from Super Robot Wars, but I’m enjoying it somehow.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:51

In the end, the color has become a secondary creation group.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:55

>>38Is Eva also a fan work?

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:56Yeahx2

>>43It feels like a creation that is quite a parody of Ultraman, regardless of good or bad.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:59

>>45I thought it was a Golgotha object or a Bible reference that appeared in Shin, but it was Ultraman.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:14

>>50The original source of that is the Bible.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:52Yeahx7

More than someone with strong attachments
I think people who have seen and somewhat know about it are the ones who can enjoy it the most.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:54

>>39That’s exactly how I feel.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:52

I didn’t expect them to go all out with the prostitute setting, even during the late-night slot.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:54

>>40I haven’t stated it clearly…

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:56

When I rewatch the scene of Lalah’s death in the 1st, the Elma does not explode but remains wrapped in light, never to be seen again afterward.
It can also be interpreted that with the light of Zeknova, we flew into the GQ world.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:59

It’s not just about color; Gainax and Gainpro have always been parody groups.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:01Yeahx2

>>48Surely everyone, including Anno-kun, is having fun making GEEKAX together… and when I think about that, I become like Lieutenant Komori in the thread image.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)07:59

I wonder why they are building the scene of Lalah’s death by pulling back.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:11

>>49That was the safety mechanism kicking in.
It wasn’t helpful.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:03

I like the feeling that it’s quite different from the traditional works and SF, but I can’t really delve into that aspect.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:06

No matter how many times I repeat it, they’re saying Char dies, so I guess the TV world is the final loop.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:09

>>54From the perspective of the man from the original high castle, the world of the official history and the world seen by Lala are similar but distinct worlds.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:07

I think there is a minimum explanation provided for people who know nothing about the original.
The explanation for why Char wants to kill the Zabi family is thin.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16

>>56Did we even talk about Dykun and Zabi in the first place?

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:07Yeahx6

Isn’t the prediction fairly off? Hermes has been saying a lot about Sharon’s rose, right?

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:13Yeahx1

>>57No…?

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:14Yeahx1

>>63Well, there were some theories floating around.
Next is the cockpit of the Sazabi.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:14

>>57No, I didn’t hear that.
About two or three cases, maybe.
It probably came up just from a direct search.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:14Yeahx1

>>57I thought there was no way you could call something obvious as an MA a structure.
It was Hermes without any twists.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:26

>>57That character is the character from the official history! All of that is off the mark.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:27

>>98At this point, it’s foolish for someone to even say that…

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:11

I never thought it would be a multiverse story, let alone anything else.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:12

What on earth is Shuji-kun compared to this guy?
Are you just a stray NT?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:13

It’s not that I can’t enjoy it, but there are quite a few instances of insufficient explanation that make me think, “What was that?” if I haven’t studied it.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:14Yeahx1

>>62Even when I watch the first one, there are so many of these…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16Yeahx1

>>68What I’m talking about are elements that you can understand if you watch, but you wouldn’t know if you don’t. It’s a completely different matter to say that there are things that you wouldn’t understand even if you watched.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:17

>>79Even if there are things you don’t understand while watching, you’ll still enjoy it, right?

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:18

>>83It’s written right at the very beginning, isn’t it…?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16

>>62Even if you’ve seen it, the customs officer who passed through the Psycho Gundam.
I thought it was strange that I immediately realized I was the same as the person from Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:18

>>81It’s quite distinctive, and then there’s Side 6… MS… customs… and so on…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:15

Coming from a parallel world or time freezing, etc.
It was a concept used in a novel about Eva written by a mecha designer.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:15

Is it painful if others do not understand in the same way as you do?

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16

>>72I might sound weak, but I want to be part of the majority.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:15

A pitiful man named Char, who became infatuated with a girl he met at a hostess bar after 40 years and added a setting where he rescues her.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16

>>73What are you saying…?

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16Yeahx4

>>73You pulled out from the sex industry in the first place, right?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:17

>>73Since it’s an imported novel version, originally…
Is this the first time it was specifically done in an anime?

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:19

>>82The anime has never clearly depicted activities around brothels.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16

It’s like they’re aiming for long-time fans, or rather, the side that’s creating it is a pretty hardcore longtime fan older guy…

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:16

The MA that can’t be called by name.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:19

It’s noisy.
Don’t you understand that it’s unpleasant not to know the original source?

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:42

>>87There are probably as many explanation sites as you want.

173: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:51

>>87An older man who wants to post panels from the original manga in the replies of a comic where recent characters are parodied from older manga on social media!

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:20

Even more than 90% of people who have studied the old Gundam…
Who is Shaliable again? It’s something like that.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:22Yeahx3

>>88Sharia is definitely someone who can remember.
The one who doesn’t remember is the pilot of the Zakuero.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:23

>>92Pickles…

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:28

>>92Demitri is the one who’s more memorable, right!!

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:28

>>88I usually settle for watching a movie trilogy.
The green uncle doesn’t come out, right?

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:21

It’s tough for those who want to understand all the original sources…

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:22

If you try to understand all the original sources, you’ll end up digging back to classic sci-fi.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:22

>>91Indeed, “Starship Troopers” is a must-read…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:25

I think there were quite a few people who were interested in watching it even though they didn’t know much about Gundam, just because it was set in the First universe.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:25

It’s a good thing to fish for the original source.
Ultimately, it leads to the classics, which broadens the range.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:26

I wonder if the proprietor of the brothel is someone who shows up somewhere else too.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:27

When comparing the first installment to this one, I’m surprised that, despite the good animation and nice visuals, the combat lacks appeal.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:27

It’s a story set in the same world as the First Gundam.
I learned about it for the first time.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:29Yeahx1

>>101It clearly says in the story that it’s a different world!

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:28

It was a bad search, but it’s the truth.
Comparing is the basic principle of being nameless.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:29

The reason Machi called Amuro a villain is…
When Yamachan said to Ikeda Shuichi, “Char is a villain, right?”
“You’re an idiot! That’s not what Gundam is about!” is the origin of the anecdote where I received a serious lecture, right?
…a story like that was getting everyone excited.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:30Yeahx1

>>105Aren’t you stupid?

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:32

>>105It seems that the anonymous person who was saying something like “the analysis enthusiasts are dead!!!” at one point has gone crazy seeing this kind of thing.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:30

It’s the reunion of the Gundam uncles.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:30

I thought that almost only older Gundam fans were watching this because there was no one around me who had seen the series.

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:30

Because I touched the brothel, it was late at night in Ueda.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:31

I’m watching the TV version of First little by little on Amazon Prime.
There are many scenes that feel like toy promotions asking, “Do you need this combination?” or “Do you need this G-Bull?”

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:31

>>111More than that, let’s do the fusion training.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:33

>>112I was confused because they included a transformation sequence at the beginning even while Amuro was escaping!

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:33

>>117I wonder if we will never see that combined scene again? A narration like that.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:34

>>111It’s funny how they scratch the combined scene in Oita, and then erase it along with the G Armor in the movie version.
The promotion was correct because the toys sold.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:31

Hideaki Ikeda’s serious lectures are scary.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:31

The streaming community is watching together, so people who don’t even know the first thing about Gundam are watching it.
There were a lot of those kinds of people when it was Mercury too.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:33

>>114Isn’t it a good thing that new people are coming in?
And now that’s what the new way of entering is like.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:34

>>114But isn’t it a good thing that more people might really get into the series and become new fans?
Looking at the Sazabi and calling it Zaku.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:33

I’m a newcomer from Mercury, so when I ask my seniors, “What’s this? What’s that?” they answer me happily, and it’s fun.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:34

I have a memory of feeling quite unpleasant due to the many anonymous people who complained endlessly about minor adjustments to the old characters.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:34

The narration to force in a fusion scene is usually quite funny.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:37

Because Ichirou Nagai is really overworking himself in multiple roles.
The narration itself is already quite interesting, isn’t it?

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:38

It’s gradually sinking in that we couldn’t overturn the world where Char is killed in the One Year War.
What happened to Char in the original One Year War?

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:38

I was able to enjoy it a little even though I hadn’t seen the first one.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:38

I think it’s enough to acquire first knowledge here.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:38

I thought that having too much knowledge might lead to too much noise and would make it less enjoyable.

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:40

>>128It’s kind of a mystery that Hermes didn’t sink and is in another world.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:39

I’m brushing it off lightly, but depicting elite soldiers’ prostitutes in a children’s anime is harsh.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:42Yeahx1

>>129GQ is probably for kids, huh?

141: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:43

>>129I thought it would be difficult to broadcast it as an evening anime.

183: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:55

>>129Because you’re my partner, it’s safe!

190: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:58

>>183I just happened to fall in love with a guest who visited the Cabas mansion by chance, so it’s safe!>>183I just happened to fall in love with a guest who visited the Cabas mansion by chance, so it's s...

187: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:56

>>129For children…?

191: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:58

>>187That’s not really something to question, is it?

193: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:58

>>191No, there’s no deep meaning to it.
I was just thinking of making it a little more obvious.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:39

It’s the sequel to the original from the beginning, so it’s your fault for not having completed the previous work.

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:43

>>130Just because it’s respected doesn’t mean it can be called a sequel; it’s not that well-made of a story…
If Lalah stays on Char’s side and Char dies before Z, it’s a different world from the 1st.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/04(Wed)08:39

It’s not technically labeled as a sequel or spin-off of XX, so don’t worry; it’s made to be enjoyable for newcomers as well.
