I'm watching Gundam (the first show) for the first time and I can't get over some pretty stupid things. For example, why the fuck did they teach Amuro how to use a gun? He's a Mobile Suit pilot, not an infantryman. Pilots don't need to learn how to use weapons, because they already know how to pilot a walking death machine that can use a bigger gun. It's literally not part of his job to use a machine gun or a pistol, even if enemy commandos managed to reach the base, because he could just pilot something to swat them out.

I don't know, maybe I'm just being nitpicky, but the show is kinda stupid at times.

Isn't one of the reasons why you don't want them using enemy weapons is to prevent a blue on blue incident? Another being that you wind up having a limited amount of ammunition since it's likely that they're not compatible with your side's munitions.

>Isn't one of the reasons why you don't want them using enemy weapons is to prevent a blue on blue incident
Yes, that's a major reason why using enemy weapons isn't a widespread practice, but it depends on the situation. E.g., >>23620085 describes an emergency scenario. Formally requisitioning extra service weapons might take a while, but the US army wouldn't be as uptight about captured enemy stockpiles, so they can be used for various miscellaneous reasons like arming irregular\militia forces, supplies for rear-guard units, used for training purposes, etc. Supposedly in Vietnam, some US special forces would use AKs because at a distance through the jungle where they can hear but not see, the sound of AK gunfire would not alarm the enemy too much.

>Another being that you wind up having a limited amount of ammunition since it's likely that they're not compatible with your side's munitions.
Sometimes in war they end up capturing not just enemy weapons but also enemy supplies. E.g., they stop a supply truck or overrun an enemy position. Of course, as long as your unit continues to win battles and advance through formerly enemy territory, that comes with the chance to pick up supplies and ammo.

You'd think more mobile suits would have transport capacity so you can board and capture enemy mechs without leaving your own drifting. Or at least copilots.

No point encumbering a MS with transport capacity (and movement restriction) that is cheaper and more efficient to be left to another unit.
Even a backpack to be carried by a MS would limit it to hypothetically stealthy operation. Assuming it doesn't make it even harder.

My guess? I think at the beginning there was a lot of Optimism about creating the Federation and a united government. Perhaps people were sold on the idea that there finally would be no more wars or conflicts on Earth. A true united government. No more divided nations. There was probably a bunch of wars and conflicts that caused the Federation to have support for its creation.

Similarly, the building of the colonies were probably sold to the public as a "new beginning" or "luxury paradise". Earth was overcrowded with 14 billion people. People were being offered a chance to have a fresh start. So lots of people signed up at first to deport themselves to live in colonies. The whole idea was shipping humanity to space.

That lasted until the Federation suddenly decided they only wanted to send 50% of the population to space. Then they suddenly stopped deportations. Then people realized the Federation mostly sent poor people and criminals to space. The rich people stayed on Earth. Then the Federation declared were done building Colonies after Side 7. And the people in space would not be allowed to vote. Only people on Earth could vote. This last act caused Spacenoids to hate the Federation and start a war with them.

To summarize, the Federation starred with good intentions. But people were tricked and lied to. Turns out they were exiled from Earth. Only the rich were allowed to live on earth.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as I heard about it the Titan aren't man-made, they are just the superpower of some people.
Granted not all fantasy mecha are made by protagonist or mankind, so if titan were genetically engineered by someone instead of just appearing randomly as a natural laws, they would be ok in my book.

You reminded me of the "Abh-Kamu"

I think that it's better for Digimon to strike a bit more of a balance. If you look at Adventure, it manages that balance pretty well, with most episodes in the first half feeling relatively contained. Here's the episode where Yamato and Joe work at a diner. The setting is never going to be used again (until 02 anyway), and neither is Digitamamon. But we get more information on where Yamato disappeared off to after he left Takeru, and what happened to Joe, while both get characterized more in a way that represents their core traits. And Gabumon becomes able to evolve to Perfect, that's a permanent power-up (until 02 anyway).

But you think about Adventure and you think about all the one-off settings with their own conflicts and characters of the day, but each episode pushes the status quo a bit further.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the Pandamon episodes, but I do want the status quo to be pushed a bit further with each episode than it has been. It took until episode 7 for the Adventure kids to realize they were on an island, and the previous episodes were wandering from place to place. But episodes 2-7 were focused on individual characters, each one getting a new evolution to mark their growth, and episodes 9-11 focus on different character pairings after they're all separated.

No doubt balance is better overall. I was mostly a general statement since a large portion of modern anime fans seem to blanketly disdain filler and large episode counts. The nuance that how the show is paced matters more than the episode count itself seems to be lost on the generation that grew up with 1 cour seasons as a standard. But I'm digressing a bit from the main point.

It's a little surprising you feel that way about BeatBreak's pacing. It seems to follow your criteria fairly closely. We're getting generous amounts of world building and foreshadowing in addition to character interaction and development. I'm admittedly biased since I'm thoroughly enjoying the show so far.
That said, I wouldn't be surprised if things start to ramp up by or after episode 13.
>>
>>23634831
With BeatBreak, there's been character growth with Tomoro as he lightens up and that's fine. Though even with episodes 5 and 6 being mostly him solo and making the decision to help the people on his own, I didn't get much of the sense that it was a Tomoro-centric story even if it did demonstrate his character. Pandamon and Gekkomon got a lot more screen time and the story was more about the supporting cast.

I haven't watched much of episode 7 yet so I don't know what goes down other than it involves Kyou, and explained what the Five Planets/Elemental Stars (no idea how they'd want to localize 五行星 to mention both planets and elements). We've also been told that the Civil Protection Ministry (国民保護省) or whatever it's translated as) is implicit in what's going on. But it was Kyou who figured this out on his own separate from the plot of the episodes.

But I'll give the Reina episode as an example. It was good as a character episode for both her and Tomoro. But with it being Digimon, I would have liked to see Pristimon's evolution sequence to Wolvermon. Even if it takes away from some of the impact of removing the surprise of what it evolves into, I'm interested in that little bit of stock footage make its debut, because we know it's coming either way. It may be silly to think that the story's pacing is dictated by a quota of character-focused episodes featuring a new evolution, but I think it does create a sense of progression and helps set your expectations. Because Digimon Adventure did have an established hierarchy of Taichi > Yamato > Sora > Koushirou > Mimi > Jou > Takeru, it sets expectations for what's going to happen next, meaning you're not expecting Devimon from the opening to be fought in episode 6 which is going to be Mimi's character episode. The short of it is that I don't think BeatBreak's progression is as clear-cut as a number of other Digimon series.
