Is there any instance where you would recommend a remake over the original?>79 vs movies>Z vs movies>ZZ vs skipping >83 vs The Afterglow of Zeon>Unicorn vs RE:0096>(half?) 8th ms team vs Miller's Report
The Macross Delta movies are way better than the TV series.
>>23737411There are two instances:The Gundam SEED DESTINY special edition is really good and can subtitute the TV version.And the second and third Gundam 00 Special edition films, the first adapt the first season and it lacks time, but the second and third ones are good
>>23737411None of them, true compilation has never been tried.
>>23737411>>83 vs The Afterglow of ZeonThis is the only one that works because 83 is so fucking awful to get through the movie condenses to something watchable.
>>23737411>79 vs moviesBoth offer different takes on the same material, neither is truly a replacement for the other.>Z vs moviesMovies cut out too much, the clashing animation style is jarring, and they introduce some plot holes. No way.>ZZ vs skippingPerfectly valid, ZZ isn't a fun show and its overall story importance can be summed up in one sentence: "Haman tried to take over and failed".>Unicorn vs RE:0096RE:0096 is awful on its own merits. No way.
>>23737411>79 vs moviesThe movies are better, the fixed pacing and removed villain-of-the-week trash outweighs the loss of Operation OdessaSorry M'Quve
>>23737411Only the updated Thunderbolt is better but it's not a compilation per se
I feel like a Gundam newfag would definitely have an easier time with the 0079 movies than the show, they can always check out the show later if they're curious about what was cut out or changed.
>>23737936I think people also forget to mention that the movies have a much more gradual introduction to the idea of Newtypes, while they come kind of nowhere in the show.You basically lose some characterization of the side-cast for more consistent plot focus.
>>23737411I can tip movies over 79 if you are recommending to someone new or that doesn't really like old animation. It's just less commitment timewise One good thing of movies imo is removing all the section where the gundam is in vehicle mode; but for everything else series is the way to go
>>23737420Aren't the G Reco movies also a good replacement for the show?>>23737936>>23737950>>23737954>>23740780I like the 000079 movies. Movie 3 in particular is so well paced and animated.
>>23737411The Age OVAs are objectively the best way to watch the show.
>79 vs moviesMovies are a perfectly fine cliff notes version of the story, with 3 being a good movie.But you are missing out on a lot of the extra context and "oomph" by not watching the show.>Z vs moviesShow. Due to how the show is structured, a lot more complex then White Base's journey, the movies have a hard time telling Zeta's story.
>>23737411Movies made me drop my first Gundam dive attempt because the pacing was complete dogshitNow restarting from TV shows later got me completely hooked
>movie trilogy meme in 2026they are mediocre at best, show is superior in almost every way, except animation which is mostly in 3rd film.
>>23737411None of those are remakes.
>>23741307Naw the show has a lot of problems the movies smooth over.
>>23737411Once you have already seen 0079 TV then the superior presentation of the movie trilogy makes up for the missing content. Third movie in particular because it looks so good and the equivalent episodes look so bad (and have some truly bizarre music choices that really ruin the tone).But you have to watch the episodes at least once.
>>23741291Literally the opposite for me, I dropped 0079 TV around when Ryu died because the pacing was killing me. I think the shock that made me drop was realising I didn't give a single fuck about Ryu so the show was clearly not hitting any emotional tone with me. I was maybe 16 or 17 at the time. Took close to a decade before I tried the movies and got hooked big time because I could get to the kino in the second half of the story in a reasonable timeframe. I still think Ryu is boring though.
>>23745148>>23745150Why are zoomers like this?
>>23737411Anyone who says you should skip ZZ is a secondary and shouldn't be listened to.
>>23745086What are they then?
>>23737411I’m surprised no one has mentioned this yet. >MSG Ep. 15 vs. Cucuruz Doan's IslandNever has a remake so effectively replaced the original as in that case.
>>23745178See >>23745086
>>23745179There's a decent argument that OP's list isn't remakes, but if the Doan's Island film isn't then I don't think the term applies to anything.
>>23741307>except animation which is mostly in 3rd film.The 2nd movie gets pretty heavily reanimated to both smooth over the parts where the order's been changed, and to update stuff like removing the G-Armor which required the battle scenes from both Odessa and Belfast to be overhauled. There's also just a lot of new character animation, it stands out less obviously but it's very frequent
>>23745180It's more of a reimagined scenario set in The Origin's weird pseudo alternate take on 0079 situation, I'm not trying to be anal about the term but I think calling it a remake could lead to confusion on what the thing actually is. I guess Yasuhiko would consider it a remake though.
>>23745160ZZ is inconsequential and gay, everyone who pretends otherwise is mossad agent
>>23745183I think we're all operating under different understandings of terms. What is it you consider necessary for a remake? Nearly 1:1 to the original, just with technical/production improvements?
>>23745185>t. secondary
>>23745189>t. foreskinless
>>23745192>no argumentI accept your concession, secondary-kun.
>>23745186>Nearly 1:1 to the original, just with technical/production improvements?Yeah pretty much, virtually no changes to the plot or story although some are to be expected for X or Y reason.
>>23745180>>23745183It 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.
>>23745178tv cucuruz is fine episode, it just has bad animation. movie cucuruz is a boring slog that stretches a good concept thin.
>>23745148>music choices that really ruin the toneburgers are so gay.
>>23737411>79 vs moviesI like both but the movies edge out the show for me. Encounters in Space is one of my favorite movies. >Z vs moviesThe show is better and tells a more cohesive story, the movies are a kind of “treat” with newer animation. >ZZ vs skippingI 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 ZeonShow is better >Unicorn vs RE:0096There’s not much of a difference, it was basically just the OVAs cut up into a TV format >(half?) 8th ms team vs Miller's ReportThe OVA is superior
