Bookend47 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Looking forward to watching this since I mostly forgot what happened in the beginning.
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Looking forward to seeing this Gundam Enjoy! Good stuff, pretty good story/characters, amazing visuals, and a great soundtrack. They really nailed the dub cast too.
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 GUNDAM TIME! I seriously cannot stop listening to Jojo's new opening why is this happening to me?
Gyaos Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The Gundam franchise is something I've always had trouble getting into (except for G Gundam). Hopefully this one will hold my interest.
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Well, this can't be as bad as IBO.... i hope. Gundam Unicorn is real good.
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Gundam Unicorn is real good. god I hope so **chugs beer**
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 This scene and the launch actually ends the first OVA, but it's moved up for the hype!
CorbeauKarasu Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I've seen the OVA, but not the reconstituted tv series. it really starts like this?
AnimationFan14 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 Get in the robot Shinji Oh wait wrong show
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 oooh the music is pretty You'll see the soundtrack is fantastic.
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 oh my god why is every song tonight so fucking good?
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 This show's budget man Gundam 00 was the last time we got this kind of budget for some Gundam goodness.
OwlChemist81 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I like the new English text! I've only seen it with Japanese!
Meilag32 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Another horrible Gundum show to sit through. Damn you, DeMarco! Doesn't he know that the worst business mistake you can make is to invest in what you find interesting as opposed to what the public finds interesting?
AnimationFan14 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 IT'S AMAZING MUSIC NIGHT ON TOONAMI!!!!!!!!! Take that Adult Swim Singles
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 You'll see the soundtrack is fantastic. EARGASM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Zenigundam Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Wow this opening theme is terrible. So not manly
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Another horrible Gundum show to sit through. Damn you, DeMarco! Doesn't he know that the worst business mistake you can make is to invest in what you find interesting as opposed to what the public finds interesting? So wrong.
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Another horrible Gundum show to sit through. Damn you, DeMarco! Doesn't he know that the worst business mistake you can make is to invest in what you find interesting as opposed to what the public finds interesting? **grabs you**, the music...........is so.........pretty you guys
AnimationFan14 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 Is that Sandra Bullock in that spacesuit Ha be careful Sandy
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 So wrong. the music!, oh my god the music!, **screams and pulls on my face**
Meilag32 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 So wrong. Wasn't the hype for IBO pretty big? And that stunk to high heaven and was ratings poison. And aren't all Gundum sort of the same themes of slice-of-life with a little mecha thrown in?
OwlChemist81 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Another horrible Gundum show to sit through. Damn you, DeMarco! Doesn't he know that the worst business mistake you can make is to invest in what you find interesting as opposed to what the public finds interesting? Come on now, its at 1 AM! Plus, just give it a try! I mean, completely epic destruction on a scale far beyond anything that happened in IBO!
ben0119 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Well, good luck figuring out what the hell is going on here. End of AD? Is this a thousand years in the future or something? Or they're just changing calendars because... because? And if it's the Universal Century (main/original Gundam timeline/universe), I hope there aren't any characters like Amuro.
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I think I watched part of Unicorn at Otakon last year
OwlChemist81 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Wasn't the hype for IBO pretty big? And that stunk to high heaven and was ratings poison. And aren't all Gundum sort of the same themes of slice-of-life with a little mecha thrown in? This one is a lot less slice of life! Well, there's your title card!
CorbeauKarasu Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 And aren't all Gundum sort of the same themes of slice-of-life with a little mecha thrown in? No. i cant think of a single one that could be considered slice of life. it's space opera war drama
AnimationFan14 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 Come on now, its at 1 AM! Plus, just give it a try! I mean, completely epic destruction on a scale far beyond anything that happened in IBO! Aside from Bisect getting fucked up
CorbeauKarasu Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Kshatriya is one of the most beautiful Zeon suits ever
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Well, good luck figuring out what the hell is going on here. End of AD? Is this a thousand years in the future or something? Or they're just changing calendars because... because? And if it's the Universal Century (main/original Gundam timeline/universe), I hope there aren't any characters like Amuro. They changed calendars to signify the new era.
mochi Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Wasn't the hype for IBO pretty big? And that stunk to high heaven and was ratings poison. And aren't all Gundum sort of the same themes of slice-of-life with a little mecha thrown in? to some extent, gumdam puts heavy emphasis on the mental development and lives of the pilots, unlike some other giant robot series
ben0119 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Blah blah blah time for peace and a new era for all mankind- *everything explodes* You dun blew up the space colony! I like the design, though. That ring design is like the old space station designs proposed by scientists and the like decades ago.
AnimationFan14 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Posted January 8, 2017 Pure Badassness A space sword fight would be enough for an epic episode ending but no we have not even reached the commercial yet
DangerMouse Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Blah blah blah time for peace and a new era for all mankind- *everything explodes* You dun blew up the space colony! I like the design, though. That ring design is like the old space station designs proposed by scientists and the like decades ago. Yup, blowing up that space colony was the start of everything getting fucked up.
