It is a straight up remake. They literally remade that episode as a feature length movie. It's different from the compilation movies which are just a recut with new animation
>>
I watched 0079 the series first and enjoyed it but didn’t get around to Zeta fast enough, so I watched the compilation films to remind me what happened and they felt so schizophrenically fast I couldn’t believe it. The third one is better than the other two but they aren’t replacements for the series.

I like both but the movies edge out the show for me. Encounters in Space is one of my favorite movies.

The show is better and tells a more cohesive story, the movies are a kind of “treat” with newer animation.
>ZZ vs skipping
I used to hate ZZ but I rewatched it and it was hard at first to slog through but I loved it. Basically when the OP changes to Silent Night, it gets better.
>83 vs The Afterglow of Zeon
Show is better
>Unicorn vs RE:0096
There’s not much of a difference, it was basically just the OVAs cut up into a TV format

when you shoot, you will always aim toward the enemy, but there's a bunch of things that affect whether you hit or not. if you're too far away, your target cursor will be green, you can still hit at the enemy but your shot will not automatically home in on them. when the target cursor is green, that means you're more or less in optimal range and all shots fired will have some small homing where they follow the enemy a bit.

your shots are way more likely to land on an enemy if you try to attack them when they're moving toward or away from you. but even with the slight homing on your attacks, if an enemy is moving left or right perpendicular to your view of them, the shots are more likely to miss, and almost guaranteed to miss if they are boosting or sidestepping or using some movement ability greater than just walking.

then there's the fact that this is generally a 2v2 game. if you're playing against the computer enemies, they start off pretty retarded and can get shot easily because they don't move much. human players generally move and think a lot faster, it's almost all reaction and instinct. the older versions of this game basically play like a clunky third person action game, but the last couple versions of this game are really more like a fighting game.

so how are you supposed to hit them? move yourself around to a better angle so you can shoot them in a way that is more likely to hit them. or rely on your teammate to distract or chase or otherwise corner your target so you have an opportunity to shoot them when they aren't expecting it or can't dodge easily, such as when they land after jumping, or if they're locked in place performing some ability\attack.

So apparently, UC Engage has an alternate worldline where Char, Haman, and Scirocco form Neuvelle Zeon so Amuro, Kamille who didn't get vegetabled, and Judau team up to stop them. After Axis is destroyed, everyone is still alive but Scirocco turns on the two and engages in a 1v5 (with a souped-up suit). Obviously he loses but I can't stop thinking about what would happen in-universe after Axis shock here. You have all five of the most powerful Newtypes around, presumably all on decent terms with one another. Basically the question I have in my mind here is
>How is this not the golden ending for UC?
>What kind of conflict could happen next?
>How do you move on from having the person to blame for the Neo Zeon wars still be around?
>What are the Gundam pilots going to do now? How will the Feddies take this?

So I finally got around to watching this from start to end, after years of seeing bits and pieces of it on Adult Swim when it first aired in the US, and man... it kinda sucked.
Are all the high ratings of the show from people who watched the first half and dropped it? Almost every single aspect of the second half was pure nonsense, and it wasn't even cool enough to function as rule of cool.

What the fuck. What does /m/ think of it?

Before anyone mentions it, I hear that the sequel series is worse and I have no intention of watching that.

>He made it for nirvash
But why? And how? He made a magic supercore addon for a machine that no one could pilot, when they had other LFOs that other people -could- pilot. It's exceedingly convenient and has no proper explanation.
>why assume its purely electronic in nature?
I didn't assume that.
>Assuming the planet would oblige with killing itself i suppose.
That was literally Dewey's plan with the compact core in his chest (there's no explanation for that either, by the way) and his suicide. "I die and the planet kills itself" was apparently his plan with that.
>Dewey was imprisoned because he wanted to kill the coral
This is not stated in the show and the timeline I referenced earlier, from the wiki, says he was imprisoned for losing Eureka. The show doesn't say that either, mind you - we have no fucking clue why he was actually in jail.
>Like stealing an entire prototype warship?
You seem to be conflating events. Holland (the Spec Ops master) stole that ship and various other military personnel. He stole one scientist at the time, not "all of them."
>they are drawn into the coral dreams.
This doesn't actually mean anything.
>the priest who has a c-drive stuffed into his chest
The show implied that he fused with that while in The Great Wall with Sakuya. It certainly doesn't actually explain why he can do anything special with it. I shouldn't have to remind you that c-drives are also "just batteries" (when they're in non-plot-important machines), which you need to power your otherwise run-of-the-mill motorcycle.

How did minovsky build the first magic particle reactor? He just did, eventually in any line of questioning you reach a point where you simply have to accept things.
>I didn't assume that.
Sorry if this was unclear, but you are in that you claim that making the amita is equivalent to being able to mass produce salt alchemising bombs.
>This is not stated in the show and the timeline I referenced earlier, from the wiki
You should watch the show.
The show gives us the sages deciding to release Dewey, while they voice concerns about how radical it is. Dewey himself doesnt seem to have any particularly radical beliefs other than self destruction so it would follow that his problematic beliefs stemming from the ageha report are the core of this.
>You seem to be conflating events
Not really? The military is the same entity in both scenarios, if you can steal an entire warship you can probably clip something the size of a cookie
>Could humanity have ever functioned in space without them if you need them to run motorcycles?
They dont work in space, they are employed because its free energy from coral dream magic. Why the hell wouldnt you use free energy?
>"I die and the planet kills itself" was apparently his plan with that

>you reach a point where you simply have to accept things
True enough, but timeline matters. In Gundam, the particles are discovered some 50 years after humans started colonizing space and they're refined for use over 20 years... by space-colonizing wayfarers.
In E7, humans discover alien skeletons in the ground (after living on that ground for 3000 years, apparently?) and in four years, one random guy grants one (1) of these skeletons the ability to nuke areas by having emotional resonance with "some random girl they found next to that skeleton." The situations are not anywhere close to equal.
>you claim that making the amita is equivalent to being able to mass produce salt alchemising bombs
Why not? It goes off... four(?) times during the show, does it not?
>You should watch the show.
You should blow that out your ass. They have that discussion in episode 2 or whatever. Dewey doesn't demonstrate that he wants to kill the universe until episode 50. Trying to tie some cause/effect to this is the height of retroactive continuity. The fandom (the wiki) doesn't even agree with your interpretation!
>if you can steal an entire warship
That's the thing - we don't know WHO stole the Amita drive. Was it Holland? When? Why? Why would he separate the drive from the Nirvash and then steal the Nirvash to retrieve the drive he stole? These cross the line from "events that happen in the plot" to "events that happen so the plot can happen." I don't like to just turn my brain off - my brain is on and it has the questions and the show never answers them.
>They dont work in space
The 303 doesn't have a compact drive?
>Why the hell wouldnt you use free energy?
Because it's magic and a severe unknown.

I don't agree, it has the exact same problem of never really elaborating on the actual cool parts of the show. To its credit though, it at least has a way better cast, mecha that feel actually distinct from one another, and no retarded pretentious teenage girl narration

Apart of his own series, he only cameo'd in Godzilla Singular Point's end credits and was considered to appear in the PS3 Godzilla game.

He could be reworked to be one of the genuinely nice aliens (even befriending some of the earth kaijus and calming down Godzilla) and have a beef with King Ghidorah.

That was powered by literal newtype magic. Not sure why you guys think psycoframe doesn't make MS physically stronger when it's literally able to just manipulate matter.
