>Anime is set in southeast asia>Clearly inspired by Vietnam and Cambodian wars>Population of said asian country is full of white peopleWhat did Sunrise mean by this?
>>288526427I assumed Kiki must have been a white baby left behind by a Zeon father. Only we found out later in the story we meet her father and he looks nothing like her.
>>288526427It's a stylistic choice, just like American movies show white people even though the country is 99% brown.
>>288526427Japan has a habit of making everything pale. Rance setting's India equivalent is mostly populated by bright-haired, bright-eyed, pale folks, for another that I can think of.
>>288526653I mean, race is acknowledged in other gundam series. It's not a stylistic choice like in anime where characters have blue hair and nobody mentions it.
>>288526662Kiki would be sunburnt from working in the rice fields being a ginger in nam.
>>288526427Australian refugees
>>288526427Ethnicity and Nationality has kind of pettered out in UC with major divide being Earthnoid and Spacenoid.
>>288526853Somehow that had completely slipped my mind.
>>288526427Shame the original director of the anime had to die before it could be finished. The first half was great.
>>288526427>08th MS Team thread>Kiki OP imageReminder that Okouchi is and always will be shit when it comes to Gundam
>>288527428>Okouchi I'm a newb when it comes to the gundam lore. What's that?
>>288526853Would there even be any refugees considering it carved out the most populated regions?
>>288527497Ichiro Okouichi, he is a writer in the industry. He wrote Witch from Mercury but also the 08th MS Team mangaKiki gets raped and commits suicide in the novelization
>>288526427Does it make you mad OP? kek.
>>288527761not canon, but by the way it gets talked about here you'd think it was.
>>288526427How many tomboys did 08th MS Team need?Because I count at least three.
>>288528641Thats not what canon or noncanon means. Its still an official product and he should be shit on for making it
>>288526427they knew
>>288526534Dude... It was called the One Year War...
>>288526920And this is BAD because...uh...uhm...
>>288527761>Kiki gets raped and commits suicide in the novelizationDid the novelization get translated?
>>288528839The novels are not UC canon. Just like thunderbolt isnt UC canon. It being official work doesnt make something canon. 99% of the time it does, but Gundam has been explicit that multiple manga and novelizations are not canon.
>>288530253He's not arguing about whether it's canon or not, he's saying that it's still something that happened in an official Gundam product and he thinks the author is trash for writing it. Canonicity doesn't matter at all here because he's just talking about his dislike of the author and what he wrote.
Why do people glaze Crossbone Gundam so much?
>>288530402A lot of people's exposure to Crossbone is probably just what they've seen in SRW and what other people say about it, so they just join in on the bandwagon
>>288526427Didn't the orange hair girl get raped?
>>288528641>>288530253Just because you can do something does not mean that you should.
>>288527361It was good until they started "muh both sides" bullshit and worst implementation of war bad themes
>>288529698You know, thinking about it Zeon popped out a lot of mobile suit models in just one yearZaku1 and 2, Gouf, Dom, Hygogg, not to mention the various mobile armorsZeons R&D teams did not fuck around
>>288530856And with the sole exception of the Gundam, every single Zeon suit was superior to the Federation mass production units
>>288530898>every single Zeon suit was superior to the Federation mass production unitsGM was better than most of them though
>>288530898
>>288526427>OP is retarded and thinks someone named is Kiki Rosita is white...
>>288531129I could have sworn it was like a plot point that GM's were pretty shit. Or is it just that a typical Zeon pilot is far and away superior to a non-newtype feddie?Because I swear every GM v. Zeon is a one sided shit show unless the GM's outnumber like 10:1
>>288531696No, GM's were pretty good. Better than Zakus. Kind of shit compared to the Gundam, and shit compared to the best new suits that Zeon was fielding near the end, but Zeon was giving its shiny new suits to poorly trained rookie pilots by that point so it evened out.
>>288531194I've seen some pretty white latino girls in my time.
>>288530609That's just the way it is for gundam when it's original creator was alive to see the horrors of the IJA up close. Tends to take away some of the nuance.
Delicious Karen.
>>288527514After the first drop people would be fleeing the cities to avoid having a colony dropped on their head.
>>288531915The only Karen who the manager actually wants to see.
