I wish Gqux had anything beyond nostalgia fagging.
>>282864858I don't. I simply watch the anime that have what I want already in them. and I wanted Gquuuuuux to be 13 eps of nostalgia fagging because thats what they sold it to me as
can we talk about the DISCLESS BDsthey have the regular kind as well but i hope this not the trend bds will go in the future. i hate this shit with games i don't want it with my anime
I wish GQux went harder on nostalgia fagging and developed even further the alternate timeline.
I wish the pathetic state of gqux would make morons finally realize every ex-Gainax guy is a hack.
>>282864994>the DISCLESS BDsThe what?
>>282864858It did. It succinctly told a coming of age story of a girl while introducing an alt timeline for future projects to play with UC. It also got many people interested in the original UC timeline.
>>282864858It did
>>282864858Sweaty sexy Shuji was a delicious anything
>>282864858It did, you didn't pay attention. Did you not notice the main characters' arcs or something?
>>282864858We got forced nostalgia faggotry because sunrise is retarded and doesn't like making series longer than 13-26 episodes anymore so they used it as away to lazily conclude the series with a rushed ending via ebin CCA reference.
Why did this show trigger so many dedicated retards?
>>282867492Everyone wanted a cool AU where zeon won the war, instead we got anno and co fan fiction.

>>282867804Nobody wants anno fan fiction.
>>282867823This guy >>282867549 did apparently.
>>282867492It's very unfriendly to tourists both in terms of composition and in its antifascist messaging
>>282867415>main characters' arcsTheir arcs are about them wanting to suck Shuji's cock and Shuji as a character exists to wank Lala. Also the entire mid section of the show has nothing to do with the actual main characters.
>>282867977>Also the entire mid section of the show has nothing to do with the actual main characters.The bullshit haters come up to shitpost with just keeps getting more hilariously wrong
>>282867938>very unfriendly to touristsWhat? The people who defend GQuuux the most are people who don't watch Gundam or their only other Gundam experience is WfM
>>282867823people who didn't want anno fanfiction saw from the promotional material that it was anno fanfiction and chose not to watch it
>>282868097you can't have sex with fictional characters
>>282868097She's built like a man, I'd rather fuck machu.
>>282868030Nice headcanon.
>>282867733Why would they do this?
>>282868097go both or go home https://litter.catbox.moe/zj6hpx54n7avcotv.png
>>282868338To generate more revenue.
>>282868030It's the opposite. The most vocal Gqux haters watch the fewest anime of anyone and have never even touched a Gundam series before. Gqux itself was literally designed to make Japanese boomers cry because Amuro is saying that it's time to stop killing Lalah. The entire meta element isn't even necessarily reliant on viewers having seen the original series so much as it's targeted to those who have grown up in a country where Gundam has become a national myth. >>282868119Another opposite. In fact, because these are fictional characters, there is no barrier to having sex with them. There is no "other side" to reciprocate or receive so as soon as your solitary sexual feeling is activated, it's sex. >>282868338For the same reason they sell overpriced plastic to kids
>>282864858It didn't even do that right, the kid in me stood up and clapped at Gundam Wing's anniversary announcement.
>>282868711Hmm, it's almost like gundam wing aired when you were a kid and became more popular for newcomers to anime than the original series which never reached anything even close to the cultural prominence abroad as in Japan
>>282867709>>282867733Another nail in the coffin of that wretched format. >>282867823>>282867804It wasn't even his fanfiction, but Tsurumaki's and Enokido's.
>>282867977Machu from ep 1 wants to escape her boring little world, and does. Nyaan seeks companionship in Machuu and Shuji, throws away the budding friendship out of jealousy, then is groomed by a crazed space dictator and regrets it. What's not to get?
>>282869111>It wasn't even his fanfiction, but Tsurumaki's and Enokido's.I think we might actually call it closer to Anno's than theirs because his portion of the script was probably the most untouched by major changes while we know a great deal of compromises were made from the original concept itself such as how the intent at first was to have the story set a full generation after the OYW as part of the Cold War theming. I haven't seen any comment on the reason for the change, but I find it incredibly suspicious that it was suddenly set in 0085 while releasing in 2025 for the 40th anniversary of Zeta's 1985 airing. They should just do a novelization of the original concept lol
>>282868119not with that attitude.
>BDs aren't selling to the surprise of no one
>>282868840Did the aborted 0079 airing on Toonami even get to Lalah's episode?
>>282864858>Why does the series taking place in an established setting use established characters!?It did. I would have liked 2 cours of it because I think the real issue was pacing. Still had a fun time with it.
I find it funny people bitching about Char bazooka’ing Kycillia again when it’s 100% in character that Char rehearsed that moment in his head over and over for years and always wanted to kill her that way.
>>282871566>100% in character that Char rehearsed that moment in his head over and over for years and always wanted to kill her that way.???????????????????????????????????The shit Originbabies come up with
>>282871656not an argument
>>282871656>OriginbabiesNice projection. Char talks big but deep down he’s a petty man and wants the satisfaction of the Zabi’s knowing it was him that killed them. Or did “blame this on the misfortune of your birth” not clue you in to that?
>>282867709>>282867733That sounds like absolute cancer.
>>282871058Apparently it stopped at Texas Duel epsiode.
>>282864858The only value stems from it's callbacks to core, mainline gundam
>>282871003But that also means if you don't pirate these shows will disappear in a few years, because there are no hard copies and the companies that pay for the digital storage will inevitably be shut down when they become unprofitable.
>>282874050I think it had value as protest art that gave focus to the refugee experience and affirmed that antifascism is the newtype way
>>282868119You can if you go beyond the time.
>>282864858Eh, it was fine
>>282867709>The "Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX" discless package being released this time differs from conventional Blu-ray products in that it does not include the Blu-ray or CD discs containing the main footage and bonus footage and audio.>A "serial code for viewing digital content" is included, and by entering the serial code, the video bonus and drama CD can be viewed for a limited time on your smartphone or other device.sounds like a scam, why do people let corpos get away with this shit.
Shuji won btw
>>282876872Nyaan won
>>282864858The more I learn about this show, the more vindicated I feel about skipping it. UC wank needs to fuck off forever.
Nyaan did nothing wrong, even Machu admitted it.
>>282877175Genuinely you were right. It's pretty much empty hype, disney cameos, and lost potential: the show.
I only remember the cool episode where char steals the gundam and the hot ace pilot with crazy eyes
>>282867459Cause they don't sell enough. Only UCslop sells. Line must keep going up.
>>282877749Stop lying, wing, G, SEED and WFM all sell a lot of merch.
>>282864858It had an adorable brat protagonist who's butt needs to be as red as her hair.
Why do people sometimes debate watching compilation movies for original Amuro/Char story, if there are no such movies for ZZ? Do they just skip ZZ, since neither appear in it?
>>282878250I watched 10 episodes of ZZ and decided to skip it yes.
>>282871003>>BDs aren't sellingThe bds were just released for order less than 16 hours ago. What are you smoking?
>>282877175>UC wank needs to fuck off forever.As opposed to another bad AU?
>>282876894>both mav'd with Shuujishit dude you're a slu->mav'd with each other toowtf you're all sluts!
I miss Machuesdays a lot
>>282864858You know it's not the show's fault that you're a brainlet with shit taste that can't appreciate anything even remotely different from the generic slop you always consume.
>>282880113Machuesdays on the space colonyhttps://youtu.be/vutHQseCBl8?si=72hywkf5waQ5Ijk_
I cannot stop thinking about Machu's boobs and irritated face..
>>282881713Shuji is so lucky!
>>282881138Let my niggy free! He can't sniff Machu while inside the plastic prison.
>>282878097machu needs spank correction from her mother.
Ah I see we'll necrobump this for days with waifufaggotry?
>>282864858I really hoped that Amuro was going to come through that portal and whoop ass but they just sent the twink instead
>>282886557>shows up>absolutely wrecks everyone at the end>has two girls lusting for his cock>gets away with itWhy am I supposed to hate him again?
>>282889277I love him so much, hater can get fucked
>>282889277He's basically a self insert character with hardly any purpose in the show other than to cater to fujos.
>>282869484>original concept itself such as how the intent at first was to have the story set a full generation after the OYW as part of the Cold War themingSource?>>282880067The thing is we got the worst of the both worlds: an AU UC that can't decide whether it wants to tell its own AU story or ride on the coattails of established UC characters.
>>282889848>fujosNobody ships him with Char, or any other male character, what are you smoking.
>>282889870>The thing is we got the worst of the both worlds: an AU UC that can't decide whether it wants to tell its own AU story or ride on the coattails of established UC characters.This is pretty much why I didn't bother watching it. Either the new characters would get in the way of exploring the alt UC set up, or the alt UC setting would smother the new characters.
>>282864858It did. A civilian-level view of an interesting alternate history.Then it gave that up for nostalgia fagging.
>>282881138>filenamekekI miss them. I miss Side 4, I miss awkward teen drama framed by Gundam cockfighting and a political cold war.
>>282890303It was doing a pretty good job at balancing the two until it wasn't. The Lala multiverse nonsense was such a huge mistake. Just let it be an alternate timeline and leave it at that, you had a good thing going already. Or if you really must go Beyond The Time then actually fucking do it. I still can't believe Shuji is just some random fucking guy.
>>282890410I don't understand why amuro is a fucking ghost?It's not like he wasn't born in this universe. Lalah had just as much of a hard on for him as char. We could have gotten anything but 'he is the Gundam'
>>282864858Did the creators ever talk about how they created the "kirakira" effect?
>>282890451Something something newtype. We barely even got what we got with him, asking for an explanation is too much. It sucks, because I'm fine with this conceptually. Newtype shenanigans across space and time, into the Gundam multiverse? Hell yeah, let's do it. But mashing it into this cold war story Gqux already had going was a terrible idea, especially with what we already had.
>>282890303The latter was the case. /m/anchildren complained how Kira stole the show from Shinn in Destiny, and G-Cucks follows the same formula.>I still can't believe Shuji is just some random fucking guyWho simps for Lalah for no reason.
>>282890577I was so sure he was Char or Amuro or a mind-slave to whoever is in the Red Gundam. He never felt like a person, just a voicebox for his suit. He barely ever says anything that isn't related to the Gundam or "the Gundam says..." stuff, there's clearly something weird going on here.Then lol nope, he's just some weird guy. That's it. Thend. I have no idea how some people like his romance with Machu. Calling it a romance at all is a stretch. He's barely even a character.
>>282890317>>282890329I NEED sex with machu.
>>282892339
>>282890686By the end this was exactly what I was expecting. Some character or even the Gundam itself like 'oh wow it's a transformers' but no it was jack all and the amuro shit is wasted. I really like gquacks and the threads were so enjoyable but that's really what the show is. Something you shitpost about and forget. It's nothing like even unicorn and for as much as people complain about the writing, as if tomino doesn't have 584838 things wrong with his, the ending hit me really hard.this just left me going 'what the fuck' and not in a good way
>>282890410>multiverse nonsenseSay sike right now. I thought Gundam learned its lesson with Turn A.
IMAGINE
>>282892529Send a thank you letter to Tsurumaki and Enokido.
>>282893969Wow, I was extremely correct in skipping GQuuuuuuX. Fuck that.
>>282868840I actually only saw a few episodes of Wing when I was a kid because my parents were cheap about getting cable. I'm watching it now and having a better time than I did with quacks.
>>282892565worst designs in the history of anime
>>282892565Shuji will enjoy getting pegged by nyaan as machu watches.
>>282895020They're great designs that deserved better.
>>282889870https://shinseiki.blog/tag/mobile-suit-gundam-gquuuuuux/— And what about the time setting?To tell the truth, I wanted Machu and the others to be born after the end of the war; I thought they would give off a stronger impression of being a “new generation” that way. But in the end, things happened and we decided on UC 0085 as the time setting.— I find that “I wanted Machu and the others to be born after the end of the war” really interesting. What are your thoughts and feelings on dealing with a post-war scenario?Rather than a post-war, I’d say it’s a Cold War. When I was a kid, we were right in the mist of the Cold War; the US and the USSR never fought each other directly, but it felt like the next war could break out at any moment. There were novels or movies about the USSR army suddenly landing on our territory and turning Japan into a battlefield, and back then, it didn’t feel all that unrealistic.When we decided on UC 0085 as the time setting for GQuuuuuuX, a certain member of the staff pointed out that “You’re doing Gundam but you’re not writing about war?”. All the previous Gundam up until now have portrayed a war of some sort, be it a full-scale war between different powers, or a factional struggle within the military, almost like a civil war. So I thought that writing about a “Cold War” would have worked as well. I thought that by depicting the feelings I’ve experienced under the Cold War, I could convey a unique atmosphere unlike that of any other Gundam before.
>>282895778>https://shinseiki.blog/tag/mobile-suit-gundam-gquuuuuux/Thanks!
Any one else feel like MachuxShuuji was some of the weakest stuff? She met him in EP3 and the last time she talks to him before the finally was EP5.
>>282892529>Learned its lesson from one of the best series
>>282890451>Qux was built with psycho bits that appeared through Zeknova>Highly implied to be from the Nu. >Psychoframe can be imprinted with the memories of the pilotSame reason why Full Frontal was Char’s Liquid Ocelot.
My headcanon is that the Gqux and Fred were left with those placeholder names as a way to protest the limitations placed on the project like being limited to one cour
>>282895778I need those doujin scans of her working at the brothel.
>>282896475>limitations placed on the project like being limited to one courthat's not how anime production works.
>>282896731yeah it isYou apply for a broadcast slot and then you negotiate that you get the slot for X weeks (usually a multiple of 11, 12 or 13). Then once you know how many weeks you're getting you plan out your series.
>>282896788>>282896731This is a special case since it's a Gundam product, negotiations start and end with a bunch of dudes in suits deciding what they want to bring to market, when, and who to hire to get it done. CCA itself is perhaps the most iconic example of how corporate can mutilate a production as long as a product comes to market. I suspect that planning for the series began before Sunrise's demands were finalized which is why there was a shift from "a generation after the war" to 0085, just in time for the 40th anniversary of Zeta's release in 1985. I've never stopped thinking about it since seeing a promo logo before the theatrical showing.
>>282864858I had fun shitposting with my nyaggers. Watching anime with /a/ is always a good experience.
>>282896170Come on now. The Black History was fucking stupid. Let's not pretend otherwise jut because Loran is hot.
https://shinseiki.blog/2025/04/17/enokido-gqux-1/Side 6 is basically a normal, everyday world, somewhat resembling present day Japan. But there’s an area inside the colony where immigrants —both legal and illegal— and refugees live, people who are relatively discriminated against within the colony. Even in a society with such a dark side, Machu doesn’t hold any prejudice towards the refugees and the illegal immigrants there. Whether that’s because she fundamentally lacks the concept of prejudice, or because she simply doesn’t want to acknowledge it, even I am not totally sure.If a normal girl were to come in contact with a smuggler of illegal Installer Keys like Nyaan, she’d probably report her to the police immediately. But not Machu, she’d just go ask for the “compensation for her broken smartphone” or something. This is to say, Machu basically considers Nyaan to be her equal. In this sense, inside that Side 6, she’s certainly a peculiar girl.It’s exactly because Machu sees Nyaan as her equal that the moment she notices the bruise on Nyaan’s face left by the military police, she feels so angry inside. She’s thinking, “Why is the police beating up a girl about the same age as me!?”. And then, she gets even angrier at Nyaan’s attitude of it being only natural that they’re being violent against someone like her. Machu’s inner anger reached its limit when the military police Mobile Suits started to arbitrarily destroy the buildings in the refugee settlements, with the excuse that “they’re illegal anyways”. It’s at that point that she decides to sneak in the Mobile Suit —it was a manifestation of all the anger she was bottling up deep inside herself.Actually, it’s very similar to the anger Amuro felt in the first episode, when he saw Fraw Bow’s family getting bombed. That’s why I believe I was able to get Machu to step into the Mobile Suit in the proper, traditional way of a Gundam protagonist.
>>282892523I wouldn't go that far. It's scuffed as fuck, but it's still a good time. It's just in the same boat as G-witch in that it makes you wish it was better. >>282894551You weren't.
>>282899028>But there’s an area inside the colony where immigrants —both legal and illegal— and refugees live, people who are relatively discriminated against within the colony. Even in a society with such a dark side, Machu doesn’t hold any prejudice towards the refugees and the illegal immigrantsColonies are immigrant dumping grounds - that's the idea behind them. I don't see why people who were forcibly kicked out from Earth would discriminate against another batch of dumped/expelled people, especially after the One Year War. Just seems like forcibly shoving in Current Year issues with no finesse. Low effort.
>>282901763Some were, some weren't, enough time has passed that those dumping grounds have become proper civilizations of their own, and you're overestimating humanity if you think we wouldn't be hypocritically discriminatory like that.
>>282901763All anti-immigration white people in America are displaying that hypocrisy of discriminating against refugees despite being the children of refugees. That sort of callous disregard by people who should have empathy for refugees is in fact one of the contemporary issues the series is commenting on. Of course, at the same time the colony is cast in the role of Japan itself and so the commentary also touches on treatment of refugees by “natives.” You’re just triggered because the show points out that you’re a bad person lol
I want to so do many sexual things to Machu it's unreal.
>>282902469I know, right?
>>282901763>. I don't see why people who were forcibly kicked out from Earth would discriminate against another batch of dumped/expelled peopleBecause "FUCK YOU GOT MINE"
>>282901763>I don't see why people who were forcibly kicked out from Earth would discriminate against another batch of dumped/expelled peopleYes, it's quite clear that you don't get it, but this is how it works, even in real life. Fuck you, I got mine. I made it in, but now we're full.Or if you want to frame it in terms of Gundam, those displaced Earthlings don't know what it means to fly, what it means to live a life not shackled by gravity.
Machulust.
>>282904504Machu after I have her sit on the sybian for an hour.
>>282904504Her mix of cute and sexy is very strong. She's really fun.>>282904807Good taste.
>>282904910I want to lock myself in a room with her and have sex for hours until she can't move anymore.
>>282905055The expressions she'd make would be wonderful.
>>282905169Would she be the top girl at the brothel?
>>282905200Nah. Too young, too spunky. Sure, some guys are into that, but the sexy, seductive girls would still be more popular. She'd be very popular under a specific clientele, and unfortunately not a very friendly one, but just that.
>>282904807Machu after I have her sit on me while piloting for a few hours
Why she so smol?
>>282906203She's a tiny angry creature. Nyaan was super cute here, hiding behind someone who doesn't come up to her neck. Nyaan's cuteness is underrated.
