I don't get the appeal.How come G Gundam is everyone's favorite?
Watch it and find out.
>>23871565it isn't everyone's favourite, but a lot of people like it because it doesn't take itself seriously. it's WWE with mechs. everything is silly. there's a horse that pilots a unicorn mech, there's a mech that transforms into a windmill to hide amongst the windmills, egypt has a "mummy gundam" piloted by a zombie. it's just good, campy fun.
>>23871579It takes itself deadly seriously, and that's why it's so fun. Not once does it display an ounce of self-awareness and point and laugh at the ridiculous bullshit it presents you with, it treats it all like it's supposed to be normal.
>>23871604i mean that the creators were obviously having fun with it and trying to make things silly. just because it is played straight does not mean it is taking itself seriously. something like nolan's batman is something that is taking a stupid concept and taking it seriously. a world where the galactic election is decided by a wrestling match between giant robots on an earth surrounded by a giant wrestling ring is absolutely not something that takes itself seriously, regardless of if the characters don't wink and nudge at the audience of ludicrous nature of things.
It's Imagawa's finger to all those edgy autists that worship overrated shit like Zeta Gundam like the best thing ever happened to mankind. And it was Tomino himself that gave him the blessing to make that, because you know, Tomino fucking hates the gundam audience. Of course it's good
>>23871565>everyone'sSource?
>>23871631My favorite Gundam is Zeta and G is the only AU I can stand. G Gundam is just FUN. It's just good old fashioned FUN.
It's awesome. I have always loved old Shaw Bros kung fu movies and G Gundam is probably the best translation of them to anime of all time.
>>23871565It's simple: G Gundam is fun. Do you hate fun?
Has the best and comfiest endings.
The dub is fantastic too I love Domon's voice so much

>>23871604And that's perfect, because laughing at itself is the most cringe thing any entertainment can do.
>>23871634For some reason that pic reminded me of this.
