Holy fuck.....
>>23799285Yeah I get it she’s cute
>>23799295XDDDDDDD
>>23799312What's ecksdeedeedeedeedeedeedee?
>>23799285Care to explain your reaction?
>>23802149Gquuuuuux but for After War Gundam X
>>23799285If only Season 2 had a little more time to cook.
>>23802312 It was rushed? I didn't get that impression.
>>23802312It had enough episodes. There were like 5 episodes here that could have easily been compressed into 2 (like all that Hallelujah and Stratos 2 crap).I don't know where that "not enough episodes" mentality comes from. nigga, whether they gave them 6, 12, 24, 52 or 112 episodes, they should have planned, escaled and paced the plot accordingly.Even tho i really like season 2 (not more than the movie), Setsuna, Saji, Tieria and Marina were my favorites. It share some of the same problems as season 1
>>23803515>MarinaNow this is how I know you're trolling him. Marina actually got dumber in S2 even if that was a hard task already, and didn't fit with the overall theme and arc of S2 too well. Furthermore, the song thing was retarded not because of its naivete, but the execution. Watch those 3 eps again and come back, literally nobody's actions made any sense in that arc, or any of her actions after. Marina S2 is very frustrating to watch.>SajiWhile I have grown more understanding of his perspective and arc in S2, it just dragged on too long. Even after the Kathalon accident it still took him way too long to actually reach an understanding of the situation. He went from "everyman not understanding the big picture" to just being fucking annoying. He should have gotten more than just a talking-to from Tieria and got a proper beating to get some sense into him then and there.
>>23803561>and didn't fit with the overall theme and arc of S2 too well> the song thing was retarded not because of its naiveteyou didnt get the point lmao
>>23802943It semi-rushed and Bandai executives demanded certain rules for Season 2.They said the Season 2 must have a masked man pilot as the enemy. There must be less focus on world politics and less political tones. The Gundam designs must be simplified (to make easier to make gunpla). And every episode must have some mecha action. Unlike a season 1 which had one episode of build up then the next episode would be full of action.
>>23802312They showed Lockon had a twin brother fairly early in S1 so I assumed it was always the plan to use him
>>23802312As far as we know this was never going to happen. But it's so weird to go out of their way to mention she's the daughter of deceased Gundam Meisters if they didn't intend to make her a pilot.
>>23805694>But it's so weird to go out of their way to mention she's the daughter of deceased Gundam Meisters if they didn't intend to make her a pilot.it was only to explain why she lived her entire life being raised by CB. mileina was also born to parents who worked for CB but since her parents never stirred up any shit, they didn't get terminated and mileina was able to have a regular personality being raised by loving parents instead of, I dunno, haro drones in a automated daycare.
>>23805694When did they ever say what her parents did? As far as I know she only said they were dead
lockon's death was the lamest shit ever because he IMMEDIATELY got replaced by his twin brother who looks and acts exactly like him. basically the same exact character. why bother killing him?
>>23805818nigga they had an entire episode where he intentionally pissed off the rest of the cast by having a different personality
>>23805818Not immediate, doesn't act exactly like him, and original Lockon's death continues to have consequences on the other characters.
>>23805818this was funny as hell in Dougram too, but done even more lazily and unexplicably
Nena is qt.
>>23805818I dunno I couldn't imagine Lockon 1 having the relationship with Anew that 2 had.
>>23799295fpbp
>>23805801To be fair, Mileina's parents weren't pilots and she basically followed their footsteps as a mechanic which makes sense, I can get why people wondered why they never went with the obvious plot thread of having Feldt follow her parents career
>>23805823Lyle acts like a shittier version of Neil so it felt more like the same guy going through a chuuni phase than a different character.
>>2380581600P lil bro, Chall's friends are her parents, she's the cuckquean btw
>>23805823>>23806592He is Lockon without the "mentor" dynamic he had with the rest of the crew and a worse sniper. So, objectively inferior. There's just less to him compared to Lockon I, even though 00s2 was more character focused than 00s1.It's really annoying how him having the same name means Lockon I never gets to live in SRW too...
>>23805904They didn’t even have a relationship, she walked over to him in one episode and then they were fucking in the next
>>23805902based
>>23809011Why the fuck would that being mentioned in a manga have any affect on her becoming a pilot in S2the manga and TV series don't even have the same writers
>>23802211It's machu!
>>23812725Well for one 00P is a novel. 00F is the manga.
>>23802312allelujah was the one done the most dirty by season 2. they gave him a cute gf but basically regulated him to a minor character
>>23817448They called Arios the "GN battery" in Japan>>23802312>>23805818I never liked the idea of Feldt being a pilot, doesn't really work for her to go from being a non-combatant to working for CB.imo a better Idea would've been to use one of the Trinity siblings by forcing them to collaborate by wearing that bomb collar they make Fon Spark wear in 00F.Nena would already be motivated by the chance to kill Ali. Maybe even have her redeem herself a bit. Her and Setsuna both have a past as terrorists, that could've been a neat parallel to draw on. He could've converted her from her heretic ways to true Gundamism.
>>23817448>regulated
>>23818401yeah was tired and i used the wrong word
>>23817483Well you wouldn't have even needed the collar if it were Johann, he'd even be a new sniper
>>23817483Why'd they change it?
>>23825489Looks like something out of SRW only stretched to some absurd aspect ratio.
>>23817483Yun Koga yaoi neck.
>>23803822>The Gundam designs must be simplified (to make easier to make gunpla)the fuck?they all look like shit with extra shit piled on in season 2S2 feels like a modernized Zeta gundam and its fun and all, but mecha design is not its strong point
>>23812725>the manga and TV series don't even have the same writersMizushima was directly involved with keeping the lore mostly consistent across manga and supplementary materials (G-R00Ms, MSVs, etc), unlike Fukuda letting SEED Astray mostly do its own thing. He was far more hands-on with 00 than many other Gundam Project directors.
>>23803822Thank god they did that, S2 is perfect and has better mecha too
>>23825792>they all look like shit with extra shit piled on in season 2They're bigger and often have more weapons, but you can see the limbs/body shapes are flatter than in s1, with simplified shapes (the 00 itself being an exception since it's a s1 design).Like, just compare the Kyrios with the Arios. The Kyrios was much more detailed even if the Arios has crap like bigger "wings".
>>23825792It's about how shapes and details translate into line count for 2d animation. The S2 designs are much more conventional and streamline. Especially with the unified A-Laws MS replacing all the machines from the power blocs with fewer simplified designs.
>>23812576Since when did she have a fang?
>>23830718Never, but it's AIslop so it's to be expected.
>>23805902She didn’t die hard enough
>>23825792they lose a ton of greebling and all their details avoid indents, holes, gaps, or curves wherever possible.
>>23833162>much simpler>but also worse silhouettesjesus
>>23833165since we're posting that, here are the early versions of the 00 movie designsthese weren't just paper-only drafts, they were used in the earliest teaser trailers for the 00 movie
