Worst thread ever jesus christ.

I don't see you making a Srungle thread, duel.

G-Witch is garbage and your crying won't change that.

There's no incentive to watch anything else when 90% of the catalog is about Gundam, if anything it rewards idiots who endlessly rewatch Gundam so they can get dopamine hits by arguing with other idiots online. I wouldn't really give a shit if there was more Gundam threads if there was literally anything interesting left to discuss but there isn't.
The themes are not particularly deep or hard to unpack considering the series was designed for fourteen year olds, so that discussion is worn out already. Almost everything actually worth watching or reading has been translated. No newfag has a new opinion on the series that hasn't been discussed ad nausem, and every question that has ever been asked has been answered. Even the most minute shit, like "why are the beams pink" has been answered. There is nothing left to discuss with Gundam, but no-one would dare to watch anything else lest they miss out on Gundam discussion. As for the other Tomino shit, well it still gets way more discussion than anything else. It's more comforting to watch the work of someone you've already absorbed shit from rather than venture out.
Unfortunately the lower IQ individuals on this board cannot fathom watching things for their own enjoyment and forming their own opinions, so they only watch Gundam and only have the approved opinion. They need the approval of anons on 4chan to validate their shit opinions.
tl;dr nu-/m/ is Reddit without upvotes

Wanna have an Argento Soma thread?
Later we can talk about Ordian and maybe discuss Gunparade March.

>a post under 2000 characters is too much to read
Figure A: one of the low IQ individuals mentioned in the post.

Figure B: another low IQ individual displaying his idiocy by attacking a point not made in the post. Among Redditors (such as himself), this is often called "strawmanning".

You’re the opposite but inseparable side of the same single phenomenon. You’re putting on airs and searching for cheap internet validation as much as anyone else, prostituting your “taste.” You just do so negatively instead of positively. Pure irony.

You are displaying your mid-winter Alaskan room temperature IQ with this post.

G Gundam, TTGL, and Evangelion are the biggest contenders of this, not Xabungle and fucking Zambot.
>Evangelion isnt a mecha
Thats the point

>there is nothing left to discuss with gundam
Well theres still threads about it, so you're wrong and need to go back

If it's Jenny or their boytoy, they should be making Macross or Maetel and Tetsuro fantasy threads.

Samefagging is frowned upon OP.

>nothing left to discuss
there could be, if the anime community didn't consist of plotfags who are illiterate when it comes to aesthetics and technicalities of an animated work. nobody cares about what Tomino conjured up on his mind and scribbled into scripts decades ago. there is infinite nuance to the aesthetics of these shows and that is inarguably what makes a classic.

tl;dr you as well as most anime watchers should quit the medium and go read books/novels.

Let it go OP.

This is such an idiotic assertion. For starters there is literally a thread up about people's favourite Gundam designs, which is completely divorced from the plot of said show. People may even love a design from a show they don't enjoy for a myriad of reasons. All forms of art try to communicate themes from the artist, and this is most commonly done through both visuals and plot. Even abstract paintings are attempting to communicate a message, even if its a meta commentary on art itself. You are genuinely fucking retarded if you think that plot doesn't matter, and you are not nearly as smart as you think you are for coming up with this fucking braindead opinion. You are a mid-wit at best. Neck yourself.

>>23000504
You know that more that one person might agree with the OP, right? There are a lot of stupid faggots on this shit board who think they've stumbled upon some unknown gem and feel superiority because they watched one of the most popular franchises in Japan, because its rightfully lesser known in the west.
