Re: Build Fighters Try or Reconguista In G- Which do you pre

I believe that one of the big reasons I see RiG bashed so much by people is because they're younger/newer Gundam fans who probably only started watching when Gundam Wing hit Toonami and most likely have seen few if any of the Universal Century series' (of which RiG is a sequel to), and are more spo...

It's 26 episodes. Tomino and Sunrise have both confirmed its two cours multiple times.

Tomino has said that its tough enough to do just 2 cours of script and storyboard at his age. I doubt he was joking there either.

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

So... I just blasted through 7 episode of this show and I love it. Sure the show started out rather weak and I was a bit cautious with the announcement that the show would be "kid friendly", but the 7th episode hooked me to the series. This is not a show for kids, seriously, if my kids wa...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

Also I do have a quick question about Luin/Mask since we are talking about him earlier. It is mentioned a few episodes ago he is a Kuntala. What the heck is a Kuntala?? I can not find anything mentioning that beside one quick comment in one episode. It's an allegory for people who are discrimated u...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

Is this animation hand drawn? I assume that due to modern Sunrise production methods that hand drawn cels are a thing of the past and everything is 100% digital but this show has such a refreshingly hand drawn look of old where character and mecha modeling can at times be a little distorted and off...

How the hell did Bellri just go "HOLY ZOINKS THAT WAS INSTRUCTOR DELLENSEN" Since Minovsky particles have spread out, comms cannot be used normally but in that moment, G-self shield and Elf Bull was in 'contact' thus Bellri could hear Dellensen through contact comms. Also because of this:...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

Not much more to say about this episode, except that Tosugawa is probably a space colony, and might be the real guys running the show and setting taboos and holding a monopoly on energy and technology. I thought that the SU-Cordists were the Capital tower guys, but in fact it sounds like they're th...

Glad this episode addressed and confirmed so much of what we've been speculating... See people, just need a bit of patience. :D

Looks like Dellensen's a goner next ep... At Bellri's hands no less.

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

Shouldn't the face of her lover's killer be the biggest trigger of all? Yet whenever she talks to him there's no sense that she's holding back her emotions until a second trigger pushes her over the edge. Again, I think you need to go back to the episodes and watch again. She NEVER spoke to him wit...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

Tomino's like George Lucas: no one is going to say no to him. You guys have been complimenting the show specifically for Tomino's writing, but now you're saying he has no input? Ha, no, that's not right at all. Tomino's a guy who vowed multiple times that he would never work on a Gundam show again,...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

This show is popular with the 30-40+ crowd based on some pre-air surveys, which is consistent with the type of audience Gundam Unicorn got (which was significant), and so far, it seems the Blu-Ray pre-orders appear to be good. So there IS an audience for this, but it's certainly not the teens and t...

There are eccentricities in Turn A but Reco...given what is popular with the audience Tomino is aiming for in Japan, I have to wonder if it even registers with them. It doesn't.

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

Do we know what the Japanese fandom's reaction to this show has been? I wonder if the dialog is written in such a way that's easier to follow when you don't need to rely on subs and can pick up on linguistic cues more naturally. The Japanese are equally perplexed by some of the lines, as they alway...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

Zeta Gundam certainly did not start off vague, as it made it clear that Titans = EVIL and AEUG = GOOD. Though Turn A is probably the best comparison as it's a whole new era without past shows to establish anything. Turn A spent it's first bit establishing how life is on Earth now and how Loran adju...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk I

It's not the translation. It's just how Tomino writes. Keep in mind this is the first Gundam series that's entirely scripted by Tomino, so it's got more of his usual style than anything that came before. The only Tomino Gundam series that had narration that gave useful info was MSG though, and other...

One minute someone can be talking happily with you and the next you two can be arguing because a touchy subject is brought up. The thing is, no one brings up the touchy subject. They'll be talking about something completely unrelated to that dude's death, and Aida will suddenly snap at him about it...

Seems like you have problems with characters who are conflicted and have more subtle personality traits? There's being subtle, but then there's being non existant.

"You want to watch it now, I'll bet", was a very relevant ending saying for this episode. Is that so? When I saw that I was all "Eh... not really." Honestly the only legitimate mystery so far is where the G-Self and Miss Born on a Monday come from. Everything else like the state...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk I

I am underwhelmed by quality of the animation. They're doing a half assed job on it. Really? Tomino's storyboarding might be a bit strange and sometimes clunky, but no way is the animation "half assed" for this one. Going to have to disagree on this one. EDIT: Might as well add in a few m...
