I got MSG, MSG Z, and MSG ZZ on my watchlist. Still on MSG. Never seen the other two.
A lot of people don't like ZZ but it was cool, the second half of it is fire and that's where it picks up.

Victory is fire too, I've done most of the series expect for the Build fighters (A.D. timeline) and Turn A Gundam (C.C timeline). For my rewatch, I'm doing 00 right now.

This series had opened up a multiverse theory, it would be cool if they find a way to tie in all the series together.

I like the 2 girls.

Better than the protagonist from Witch from Mercury. And Kamille from Zeta.
I dunno, I just caught up with the show, but I’m still indifferent on Machu. She’s just blah. But i liked suletta (sp), especially after the first season.

I think Gundam is like a good chili or a gumbo. You gotta really let it cook slowly build the world and establish it's characters it's kind of interesting the best series have the least robot fights (mostly) because the robots come second to the human drama, the political intrigue and and horrors of war and the aftermath. This one I think is an interesting concept and had the right ingredients but the cooking was rushed.

This show just reminds me on how much I don’t fukking know about Gundam :skip: …..and I’ve watched a lot of Gundam.

I agree the pacing in this show is off. This show assumes you already know about the UC timeline so they are skipping the world building.

Im on a Gundam rewatch and I rewatched wing not too long and I didn't realize how bad it was — it's great for it's time like Mobile Fighter G Gundam, very early 2000s.

As a child it's sick; giant fighting robots in space but man it's all over the place. The animation style is sick tho.


About to watch ep 9; seeing Lalah in the preview for this episode is gonna be sick. I'm hoping we see Amaru or Kamile before the season ends, it would be sick for us old fans.

The assassination plot is pretty fire too.

You cant say this with 00 tho. Masterpiece. Gqux is shyt.

I'm rewatching 00, it seems like wing should've been tbh.

Why didn't you like GQux?


Why didn't you like 00? I haven't watched the movie, I heard it really jumped the gun :lolbron:

GQux features hardly any mech action. In fact, the actual fukkinh Gqux probably has under 5 minutes of actual battle time on screen, and we’re already 9 episodes in. The Mav battles were terrible. They had zoomed-in fights with poor choreography and flashy backgrounds to make you think a lot is going on.

The two standout episodes of this series have been the Char flashback episodes. They had a serious tone and concentrated on the darker aspects. No silly or emo "girl has a crush on boy" nonsense.

And honestly, the story has been pretty shytty.

And the mech designs suck. They shouldnt have let the Evangelion creator fukk with Gundam. Nothing in this series actual looks like a gundam.
