Where did everything go so wrong?
>>285647682Well it all started when your mother got knocked up by fucking random dudes for drug money.
It took forever to get around to the actual plot and then had to wrap it all up in 2 episodes.
If you'll let me hijack this thread for a moment like a pretend Mafty terrorist I just wanted to say the Gundam AGE Memory of Eden compilation movies added fanservice that did not exist in the series.I agree with this decision and believe it improves the story.
>>285647742The time on Side 6 was better than the 'actual plot.'
>>285647682The OP was shit.If you have a shitty OP, then you pretty much killed off any momentum the series has.
>>285647682The show simply didn't commit to anything. If it committed to the characters, the story, or being Tsurumaki's self-insert AGP fanfic love letter to Tomino then it could've at least accomplished something in its runtime.
>>285647682It couldn't decide whether to focus on being an original spinoff with mavs and clanbats or UC wankery.
>>285647682I blame Anno
>>285649681>The OP was shit.Bite your tongue.
>>285647682Probably when you stumbled on this site 1 or 2 years ago.
I miss Machuesdays desu. Sequel when?
Machu will have a spanking scene in a future series!
>>285647682About episode 3 or 4.
>>285647682It should have been 24 episodes.
>>285647682>Gcucksum what happened? I didn't finish the show..
>>285647742>took forever to get around to the actual plotshould have watched the movie first.
>>285651017This, first 12 episodes for worldbuilding + getting the main 3 teens interacting before focusing on the Zeon civil war in the latter half
Ugly main gundam
I had a good time watching it with the lads but in retrospect it wasn't great.
>>285652651The threads were more fun than the show itself.
>>285651017Yeah most people's gripes were the anime is too short. All 3 characters could've gotten more screen time and more war politics
>>28565277112 episodes would've been enough if they had sticked to one plot. Either go with Machu's Pokemon battles or boomer Gundam wankfest.
>>285647682not enough machu lewd scenes
>>285647682Early on. The directors clearly had no idea where to take the plot or characters. As for when it became apparent to the audience? Probably shortly after Deux and Gates died and Shuuji hopped dimensions.
>>285654450The hype when /ourguy/ showed up was real. I wish they didn't even stick him in.
>>285650359I miss Machu, I miss Nyaan. It breaks my heart how mishandled their show was, and how we'll probably never see them again outside of some possible SRW silliness. >>285651017Correct.
You know they're putting the extra story and character bits in the drama CDs?For instance, this one covers Nyaan running into Gates and Deux while on a delivery job:https://youtu.be/cbSgOCZ6L68
>>285649681Did we watch the same show?
>>285649681The audio/visual presentation of GQX was topnotch.
>>285651017Kill anyone who says this. If they can't tell a story in 12 what makes you think they can do it in 24?
>it's another gquuuuuux hater makes a thread to seethe about it episode
>>285647682>GCucksStill makes me laugh to this day that the community here decides to call it GCucks because of the retarded original naming of the show. And considering how shit the show is, it deserves such derision.

>>285647682episode 12, they flubbed the finale really badly
>>285647682>Where did everything go so wrong?It didn't. Everyone who watched it had great time. Why would some one go on the internet and lie like this.
>>285651017While more time to breathe could have been good, the story itself was pretty much just fucking whatever anyway, more episodes wouldn't have saved it
I love Machu's boobs and irritated face
>>285654743It gets a lot of seethe because it legitimately has a lot going for it. The good, fresh feeling vibe it has early on, the music, the beautiful and eye-catching art design, it all makes the dogshit script and pacing stand out that much more.
>>285654701because they're trying to tell a bunch of plotline within those 12 episodes
>>285654621nigga they should've put those shits IN the anime
>>285655895A good scriptwriter knows what to focus on within the runtime
>>285654923>scriptit's fine>pacingmeme criticism
>>285647682The planning stage.
>>285655930Too busy with monster-of-the-week duels that contributed nothing in the grand scale of things.
I wish Machu and Nyanpassu had kissed so the show would've been even bigger train wreck.
>>285647682no machu anal
>>285654701Gundam anime used to traditionally always have 50+ episodes and it was fucking great. The 12 episode anime is a blight brought on by zoomers with shorter attention spans.
It should have been yuri
>>285647682Trying to make another AU and, worse, basing it off of the UC story when there was so much US material from decades ago they refuse to animate.
>>285657194>>285662678Witchtards begone.
>>285663319Dumb yurislop would've been an upgrade. I don't think anyone got anything out of this Gundam.
>>285663515Holy fucking retard
>>285647682Machu had 0 development and Nyan had -0 development, at this point I'm hoping they give up on female MCs altogether because they obviously can't write them well.
Threadly reminder that "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury" is the coolest goddamn title in the franchise and they fucking squandered it
>>285665126Wrong. That title goes to "New Mobile Report: Gundam Wing".
>>285650244I blame him for not directing enough episodes.
>https://automaton-media.com/en/news/bandai-namco-makes-major-revision-to-mobile-suit-gundam-ips-yearly-revenue-forecast-following-unprecedented-growth/>Of note, Bandai Namco has significantly revised its annual sales forecast for the Gundam franchise to account for higher-than-expected performance. The company now anticipates annual revenue to reach approximately $1.5 billion, up by over 40% from the original forecast. >Bandai Namco attributes the growth to the strong performance of high-end toys such as Gunpla and collectible figures, the positive reception of the new Mobile Suit Gundam GquuuuuuX anime (produced by Evangelion’s Studio Khara), and the Gundam Next Future Pavilion exhibited at Osaka Expo 2025. The company says the “synergy” created by these projects is what drove revenue from related products and services. Everything went so right though
>>285647682No Yuri
>>285654621I find it really weird that they didn't do this kind of thing week by week alongside the airing, like Trigger have done with Gridman. Code Geass would be an even better point of comparison since that got so huge with full utilization of multi-media campaigns.Picture dramas halfway between airing days would have made the hype even bigger when Gqux was airing.
>>285647682I pretend this show doesn't exist.
>>285654621>Gates there to keep Deux from interacting with others, was going to shoot Nyaan.>Deux was offered same deal that Four was but turned it down. She doesn't see the point.>Gates considers colonies to be impoverished backwaters, thus expressing the typical views Earthnoids have towards colonist, even with the war wrecking Earth>Deux likes pizza and risked their cover to order some behind Gates back.Some interesting stuff there.
>>285651017I would've liked more with the political situation and tensions between the now weakened zeon and remnants of the Federation, but if it's just for the story that we got I think maybe a couple episodes more would be enough.
>>285665928shit from mercury flopped harder than g cuuuuuuck
>>285647682A couple episodes before it ended. Regardless it was a fun ride and I remember it fondly.Nyaan did nothing wrong.
>>285666388Nyaan broke Machu's phone.
>>285666371The aerial was the best selling kit in a long time. Thats the only metric bandai cares about.
>>285654778What's the going rate for the maids?
>>285659668Machu should've gotten molested in the locker. I remember there being a pic where Egzabe's boner is poking Machu's crotch through her pantsu. That was a good pic.
Machu cuckposting was fun.
>>285666432Stupid bitch shouldn't have had it out while walking, it's dangerous.
>>285666624Post it.
>>285647682I liked how this mindbroke some /m/fag Gundamb boomers who only care about toy robots.
I can't believe Nyaan made me want to impregnate a SEA
>>285654621>Cute Cyber-Newtype who willingly goes along with Titans, is not chained down by a desire to know her past, and is pure destructive autism because she wants to be.How did such a character with so much potential get wasted in one episode?
>>285666624For me it's this frame.
>>285669713Recuperating as we speak
>>285647682When they decided to make yet another entry to the Gundam franchise.
>>285669804For me it's this frame
>>285667149I don't have it, I'm looking for it too. I was hoping some other anon would post it too hence the description I gave. Iirc she might've been wearing light blue pantsu in that pic.
>>285669713Shame, if she hadn't gone up against CHALLIA THE BVLL she might've survived.
Challia and Char were such a disappointment. I should never have watched the series.
>>285671412Sorry to break it to you, but Char is into young girls instead of men.
>>285669713You only care because you want to fuck this hideous gremlin, don't pretend otherwise
>>285671535>>285671412Almost forgot about Amuro, but then realized Gqux Char never met him.
>>285647682It wasn't yuri, so it was shit.Also Anno.
>>285656821The pacing is not good.
>>285647682Worth watching purely for the shortstack MC
>>285647682>hire Pokemon designer to draw the sluttiest women they've ever drawn>two horny teens and a hot cougar>also a trap(???)>completely, totally sideline ALL of them or kill them off for UC and Char wank with non-updated designs>completely schizophrenic plotThat's all. They had G Gundam in the UC timeline and decided to go full retard.
>>285672265>completely schizophrenic plotgood. this is good.
>>285672265To be fair your soul can't be weighed down by gravity to understand the plot.
>>285672265My problem with your post is that nobody can ever be sluttier than Lana
>>285673519Who gives better dome, Lalah or Gigi?
>>285647682It feels like they had an idea for a new show but the studio hired Anno and other boomers who wanted to put in 0079 slop and it became a huge mess.
>>285672265Meh. I get your complaint but I felt like the new original characters got plenty of screen time so your argument is invalid.
>>285674830Yeah but did anyone of them have like a character arc?
pointless machu bump
>>285677014
>>285677389>yurisluts staring at background
>>285666254neat
>>285677414
>>285677782I can turn them straight.
>>285677782The dumb shit like this is what I liked about the show. Also I liked the scene when Machu bullied a dog.
>>285647682I cannot stop thinking about Machu's boobs and irritated face..
>>285675197Not every story needs a character arc. The story did a good job with the mystery and advancing the plot through some of the classic characters. I loved watching it week to week. Only after the fact do you fags have to come out and complain that the thing wasn't as good as we thought it was well I enjoyed it so fuck you.
>>285677859>Not every story needs a character arc.But then you need a good story and this was just bunch of nonsense. The story wasn't good and the characters weren't developed enough.
>>285677806rotoscoped trash
>>285677812The face is the key.
>>285677859>Not every story needs a character arc.untrue>The story did a good job with the mysterynot really no
>>285678105>untrueThere are some rare cases where you can get away with it but not in Gundam. Something like One Punch Man S1 maybe.
>>285677782>literally utenafucking enokido
>>285678152Saitama does have a character arc tho, his whole story is about becoming more in touch with his emotions, like when he befriended Mumen RiderMachu literally feels tacked on what is supposedly her own show
>>285678175Yeah but in S1 he kind of only punches people. That's why I said S1.
>>285678188Also it's a bad example because the other characters are developed. In GCucks no one is except maybe Nyan Nyan kind of.
>>285678188he still gets a pretty satisfying thematic conclusion when he gives Boros the climatic fight he can never have, its tragic, but it hitsall Machu does in episode 12 is kiss Shuji, and the stay on a beach waiting for him, its dogshitand like you said, this is S1 of OPM only, the first arc of OPM has more going on than the entirety of Gquuux, my only takeaway with the show is that we gotta stop having female MCs since it always boils down to "muh feeelings, im so in love with him"
>>285677920>>285678105>opinions
>>285678294your show sucks troon, dont come here if you cant take the heat
When the original RX-78-2 showed up in its retro block design through a multiverse portal. At that point it was beyond clear they had no idea what they were doing and weren't interested in actually crafting a story.
>>285647682Machu and Nyaan should've died early in Mav battle at the hands of Kamille Bidan and his partner, Reccoa.The rest of the series should've focused on Kamille meeting Char and destroying the filthy Zeon government together to save Lalah complete with explicit sex scenes of CHADmille and his harem consisting of Reccoa, Fa, Four, Rosamia and a mindbroken Machu.
>>285678361This scene in particular >>285657194 where they played actual Gundam 0079 footage in the background because YOU REMEMBER THIS?!
>>285647682It's the best thing happened to this shitty toy commercial franchise. Tsurumakigod, as always, filters midwits.
I laughed how people were mad that Char had a different voice actor. I'm sure they tried to get Ikeda back but he just didn't give a shit.
>>285678555I'm surprised he's still alive.
>>285678588He's not that old. He still does some voice acting stuff I think. But when he heard that Char has more than one line he couldn't be arsed.
>>285678105>untrueretard
>>285678779Name 5 good shows without character arcs.
The eva guys should not be allowed to touch anything mecha related ever again.
>>285679966Anno shouldn't touch anything. His Godzilla was fine but it was 10 years ago.
>>285647682>Ugly gundam>Too short, so basically nothing happenedShould've just removed all the UC nostalgia bait and just go all in on the "tournament arc"
>>285678588Is he trying to poison deux in the afterlife?
>>285647682the amount of talent this show wasted will go down in history>Produced by Studio Khara fresh off of Eva 3.0+1.0>Directed by Tsurumaki, his first original anime in over a decade>Written by Enokido>Set in the UC with appereances by Char, Kycillia, Gihren, etc.>Anno pitches in for 1 episode>Character Designs by take>Catchy opening by Kenshi Yonezu in the peak of his careerif you had told me a show with all of these going for it was gonna crash and burn this hard I would have laughed in your face had I not seen it myselfBy far the single most disappointing Gundam entry of all time, and thats saying a lot
>>285684088>crash and burnIt was a critical and commercial success that contributed to Bandai revising its revenue forecast upward
>>285684088you are overreacting, it's an easy top 10 UC entry.
>>285684385>It was a critical and commercial successit made decent money but it was not a critical success by any means, not even the japs loved it>>285684445okay youre funny, heres your (You)
>>285647682It was almost the best gundam entry that we got in recent years, then the last few episodes happened and they failed to stick the landing. Japs really just can't help themselves when it comes to writing and always have to go with retarded subversive bullshit for an ending.
>>285684558You're just spouting nonsense as a tourist with an agenda to create the false narrative that Gqux was poorly received
>>285686700Gquuux was poorly received, larping in 4chan is not gonna fix that Rajid
>>285686700Just look at the score on any website
>>285686819>larping in 4chanThat's what you're doing, /vpol/ touristYour echo chamber is the only place where Gqux was "poorly received" because you're triggered snowflakes who don't watch anime>>285687077>Just look at the score on any websitelol
>>285687316>dogshit score on Amazon>dogshit score on any review sites>Nicolive rating plummets in the last episode>No awards last yearlol
>>285652421Is there even any difference?
>>285679966I would partially agree because of the Eva elements in the Gqux. I still don't know how to feel about the red/regular gundam. The Gyan was cool as fuck though.
>>28564768212 episodes, it's just way too short to tell a story like they tried. The whole thing feels rushed and underdeveloped.
>>285647682A thread just had to die for this worthless fucking bullshit and it's still up?
>>285689840Yes
>>285688101not really no
>>285689840They killed a yuri thread so its worth it
>>285669713The description you just gave has no potential outside of waifufagging. You just want to fuck her no need to pretend otherwise
>>285647682Tsurumaki and Enokido did not have a cohesive creative vision
>>285688101all the zeknova and solomon stuff is shown at once, it helps in tempering the expectations.
>>285672265The new characters got plenty of screen time. Too much even considering they're not all that interesting by themselves. They should've leaned into the schizo plot earlier
>>285684445HAHAHAHAHAHA
>>285690889I think the real problem was lack of commitment, both the AltUC/Lalah-chasing-Char-through-dimensions and Clan Battle/Coming-of-Age-story feel super disconnected from each other, if they had cut one and leaned fully into the other for the 12 episodes they could have done something great
>>285690589Seethe more, hetcuck. Kaguya is doing great
>>285684445name your top 10 UC shows troon
>>285690999I feel they should've just kept the alt history stuff and cut all the Lalah zeknova stuff and it would've been fine. You'd even have a good coming of age story with both Machu and Nyaa joining different sides of the war and having it slowly change them as well as keeping all the interesting inter zabi politics
>>285647682A cuck thread for cuck people
>>285691437yeah, Gcuck fans
>>285647742Truly following Tomino's footsteps.
