It is a shame there hasn't been a single decent TV Gundam series since 00 ended.

I mean, I guess there is the first Build Fighters, which is fun, but that is so different its more of a spinoff.
But G-Reco was sadly forgettable. The new AUs were each bad. And Gquuuux was messy
>>
g-reco is one of the best gundams, far better than 00 which was vapid and pretentious
>>
00 was good but season 2 would have been better if Nena lived and the movie ending of everyone losing their individuality and privacy to become a hivemind is fucking retarded.
>>
I liked GQuuuuuuX more than 00

>Nena should've lived and we should've lost out on the most satisfying death in all of Gundam

>>23855862
Fuck off Louise. Nena had the right idea.

>we should've lost out on the most satisfying death in all of Gundam
Iok isn't in 00

>>23855914
Second most satisfying death then.

Nena did nothing wrong.

Because modern Gundam writers don't know how to write war stories. And they don't want to write war stories. They prefer to "gamify" everything and turn Gundam battles into a game or tournament.

Don't get me wrong. Build Fighters Season 1 was great. But we did not need 7 more seasons of whatever weird build nonsense they came up with. None of them were as good as Season 1.

Gqux had a terrible name and the first half was just underground illegal mobile suit battles.
Tomino was right. Gundam does not work unless it's a war story. You need war to push the story forward and have a sense of danger
>>
>>23856740
>muh war
Gundam is a franchise, it can be whatever the fuck it needs to be.
>>
>>23855819
The pacing on the TV version is atrocious, though, with cels strewn over Sunrise's cutting room floor. Best watch the five-movie compilation version instead.
>>
>>23856745
Shut your mouth. The creator of Gundam has spoken.

If you don't like it then go watch "baby fighters metaverse vr mmo whatever".

You will respect Tomino.
>>
>>23856801
Yeah, I will go watch a show instead of whining about it online. Take care retard.
>>
>>23856740
>>23856801
Tomino don't matter.
>I want every series to be the same thing every time
I'm sorry for your autism.

So wait...do you think all David Lynch movies are exactly the same? That directors only make one movie over and over again?
>>
>>23857004
David Lynch sucks.
>>
>>23857012
>>
>>23856751
It's by design.

>>23857021
Twin Peaks sucks ass.

Tomino is the one who wants people to do different things retard
>>
>>23857041
His most recent interview had him complaining about Gundam moving on from war themes and just being an hero fantasy.
>>
>>23857047
What a fucking retard.
>>
>>23857047
He can cry about it then. Boomers are out of touch.

>>23857065
Based. I like the guy overall but he just needs to let go.
>>
>>23857047
>taking a tomino interview seriously
>>
>>23857047
That's not what he complained about retard, ironically you're the type of idiot he's talking about.
He complained about a lack of war experience leading to works that only come across as fantasy when the topics is addressed, he never said shows that aren't trying to be war stories as bad, Tomino wants people to engage with the story not just think mobile suit battles are cool.

But also
>>23857084
>>
Imagine thinking tomino would complain about there being too little war going on lmao.
>>
>>23855811

00 wasn't exactly that great either. Its a long winded narcissistic retarded reaction of guilt shaming people with a contextual year whilst withholding information to everyone an alien invasion is on it's way all the whilst bullying countries and political powers into getting along with one another in a supremely pathetic egotistical childish manner.

Be nice to each other or big bad robot will smack you.

We get it, maturity is a choice. But not when its this clumsy, plodding and delivered by self ordained sociopaths who need emotional support every five episodes. Its pathetic.

Gundam hasn't worked as a war story for decades because it's 2026 and we've had actual wars beamed straight onto our screens for all that time. You cannot convince anyone for a second that "muh war is bad" with colorful plastic robots doing backflips shooting laser beams at each other, when people can watch in 4K on their phones actual footage of some poor kid in a trench, screaming for his mother, after a drone blew his legs off with a grenade.
Quite frankly Tomino is an idiot clinging on to outdated ideas of what a toy commercial franchise should be, and it's no wonder G-Reco reeks of "out-of-touch old timer thinking he's hip with the kids".

>G-Reco reeks of "out-of-touch old timer thinking he's hip with the kids"
No, it's not.

Retard.
