I like it a lot, but I wish it'd stuck to the ground-level view of an alternate timeline instead of being about OG Gundam characters fucking with time and space. The stuff after Side 6 was still good, but it couldn't bring it all together in any satisfying way and ended up dragging the show down.
Machu is good, Nyaan is good, I wish the show had actually been about them. At least the ED ended up being canon.

This felt like an odd attempt to appeal to both the fans who got into the franchise thanks to G-Witch and UC nostalgiafags while finding a way to appeal to neither.

>>282312484
See, that's where >>282311440 applies, since I really liked the relationship building between Machu and Nyaan, and being more average civilians more than the space poltics, mostly because I've never watched the original MSG, but that's exactly the point
This series felt like like was two different kinds of Gundam series fighting for control, and not deciding what it wanted to be.
Is it a show about a girl learning her place in the wider universe? Or is it about this atlernate Zeon controlled timeline and seeing the ripple effects it has on the major players and universe at large?
I don't fucking know, and the script doesn't either.

Whatever helps you sleep at nigh. I mostly follow JAP accounts on Twitter and back when it was airing it was fairly popular and beloved, it still is nowadays. The only ones I've seen hating it are brainlets on shitholes like here or Reddit.

Gcucks was astroturfed as fuck while it was airing. One the forced embargo on honest opinions was lifted with that shitshow of a finale, the floodgates were opened.

The majority of the show as so bad and meaningless that the only fan content it gets only a few months after its release is yuri and/or prostitution doujin centered on either episodes 8 and 9, or the last scene of the show and the ED. Even the brown loli maids, Bluechu and Machu x Comoli get more content than the majority of the cast.

Does everyone even bother remembering the duels and the Pomeranians? Even Shuji barely gets anything, and he's ostensibly a main character. It's not looking too good for its future prospects if this is how it's treated not even half a year later.
>>
The most interesting and hottest character dying the episode she appeared in without having done anything important should've been a red flag
>>
>>282300277
That's gundam in general. Gundam hasn't been big in the West since 00. IBO and WfM had some traction but were soon forgotten, outside of the faggots
>>
>>282316416
That's because Sunrise/Bamco have no fucking idea how to capitalize on it. Hell, Bamco in general seems to think we're still in the 00s given their fuck awful Netflix show they tried to make as a thing

>>282316974
Gundam is a very small franchise you see, very niche, that nobody has ever heard of before the last season.

Tomino does interesting and/or psychotic stuff with his characters before killing them off though.

>>
>>282316974
>>282317187
Quality aside, they ARE popular and will probably remain so. Which reminds me
>SnK
It's basically an offbrand Gundam series with fleshy monsters as the mechs. There is NO reason why Gundam can't be popular in the west, and attempts of it fizzling out is purely on Bamco and the constant need to force UC down people's throats.
>>
>>282317562
I don't understand what makes you think it isn't? America is a huge market for Bandai right now.
>>
>>282317725
IBO is popular, G-Witch is popular, amongst a certain age Wing and SEED are popular, even Gunpla in general is popular? But the entire franchise, most of all UC? Nah. At least not nearly as much as Bamco would like it to be, which they have taken heavy swings in recent years and missed almost every time
>>
>>282317923
>real populism has never been tried!
>>
>>282318029
If I'm wrong, then how come Sunrise/Bamco keeps trying to find new way to reinvent the series and have it "appeal to the west"? G-Witch just got in the new SRW and it was released worldwide, but you wouldn't know from the lack of any meaningful western advertising
>>
>>282311440
>while finding a way to appeal to neither.
Idk if the shows mission was to get people to watch more UC is worked cause I know several who’ve gone through 079 and beyond cause of it.
>>
>>282318126
>how come Sunrise/Bamco keeps trying to find new way to reinvent the series and have it "appeal to the west"
because it's a huge market? they finally realized that western audiences are retarded and prefer certain things (fat people, blacks, gays, etc)
>>
>>282318179
Because of genuine interest or because you need to watch some UC to understand fuck all about the setting? Because given by the lack of buzz, I can see people being turned off by the franchise too. It's a double edged sword to make something to "appeal to everyone" because there is that off chance it works and gets them more interested in the greater franchise, but more likely is the case of you turning people away who otherwise might've been interested
>>
>>282318247
The west also doesn't give a fat fuck about Gundam, at least now to the same degree Japan does. It's gained fans in the west no doubt, but it's fairly niche, and Bamco does it damndest to alienate people who are already fans by doing stupid shit to appeal the general mass western market.
They have to learn this lesson over and over again, seemingly having learned nothing.
>>
>>282318251
Interest for sure. Seeing various highlights of the setting with a new coat of paint made them go and see the original.

I wanted this show to be Machu's coming-of-age story with mecha battles and some slight references to old Gundam.
Instead we got this MCU multiverse bullshit and Machu ended up as a side character in her own show.
The anime definitely needed more episodes (and definitely didn't need to spend 1.5 episodes on nostalgiawank flashbacks), but honestly I don't know if that would've helped much since they already decided on this timeline multiverse plot.

It's kinda crazy because Tsurumaki pretty much told the exact story I wanted to see in GQuuuuuuX in Diebuster but did it so much better that time, and it was only 6 episodes, I don't know how he fumbled the bag so fucking badly given MORE episodes to work with.

I still liked it but man it could've been so much better.

That’s what happens when you make seasonal anime now. G-Witch was super popular when it was airing, but now people have forgot about it or have completely turned against it due to the ending or other things not meeting expectations. G-Quuuux has fallen into the same hole.

If it involves whatever is left of the feddies/the earth terrorists and how a now militarily weaker Zeon deals with them as well as other characters we know that we haven't seen yet, then yes I'd agree. It would be cool to see that explored a bit further, there's a lot left unexplored.

In terms of the story that they told, it did ok with the length. The last 3 or so episodes felt rushed so maybe one or two more would've softened things but it probably doesn't need more than that.
