ben0119 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Those headlines flew by too fast. Who is this father and daughter? A "clean" war. Well as clean as war can be I guess. Revel knows it's foolish to try to talk peace with Zeon. Why is Degwin so pissed off at Revel? Who is that girl in the swimsuit? Jeez I'll play in the water with her, you idiots! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 So Zeon invades the actual Earth? Looks like a lot of destruction. Garma in front of the Hollywood sign LOL. Gundam complete... but not seen in action in the actual show. And it ends there... wtf lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Shame we didn't see the Gundam in action. The 6th OVA was the least rushed of any of them in the TV show, and we couldn't even squeeze THAT in? The first half was totally awesome! This show did things that Gundam shows don't usually do, but then the 2nd half was just really great. And then the last episode, while establishing everything fine in the original series, just seemed somewhat "unfinished" itself. My overall rating: 9/10.

DangerMouse Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 And that's why we should get a remake so we can pick up from their and see the main show in those production values. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Yeah would have been cool to see a few battle shots of the original Gundam in this animation as just a tease. Edited October 6, 2019 by DangerMouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Yep, the best we got was that little teaser back in the first Amuro-focused episode, Episode 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpgamer Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 For a "Gundam" title, this one kinda lacked much of a payoff. Nah. I get that it was meant more as fan service for the original fans I guess. I always have trouble following these political intrigue plots. Too many names get involved. Too many threads to keep track of week to week. I'm not really sure I've managed to follow everything that happened here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say this one had a slightly better payoff than Unicorn. I'm still not quite sure what the hell happened at the end of that show!

It really is surprising there hasn't been a remake of the original series after all these years and all the different Gundam series that have been made. But yeah, that might have been cool. And maybe Amuro would be more tolerable to me lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlChemist81 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 I don't know why I thought we were going to get Red Ray again. This is the RIGHT 4th Ending... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly it basically comes down to after meeting with him in his cell last ep Degwin arranged for Revil's escape/release so that negotiations to stop the war could happen, since unlike Ghiren (and Kycilia's scheming) he wanted to stop at making the Federation take them seriously not wipe them out which they showed a while back when he was pissed at how far Ghiren and his blood-lust went with the colony drop and even compared him to Hitler. But instead Revil makes this speech calling for the Federation to intensify the fight in response to what they had already done with the colony drop. Revil instead when he finally gets in front of a microphone publicly pushing for the war to continue and effectively intensify is what got him pissed.

Sure, it was a good payoff in that it adequately set itself up as a prequel. Just. Y'know. Not enough big finale gundam fights. Naturally because the gundams were still in production. But still. Not sure the mobile suit fights were quite as satisfying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerMouse Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Cool, someone clipped the ending with the dub (from the ova) and it's still up on youtube as well to go with Owl's post above "And now, Gundam begins..." I like that coming up at the end Edited October 6, 2019 by DangerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is they never animated WHAT it was setting up, a remake of the original series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
