Started watching L-GaimSo far Daba seems to be smarter than your average hero, and even a bit manipulative, which is interesting.I can't get a grasp of the setting yet though. It seems almost post apocalyptic, but not.
>smarter than your average heroNo he isn't. He's a Tomino mouthpiece who sounds every bit as nuts as him whenever he isn't reading directly from the script.
>>23881564L-Gaim is hot garbage, no wonder why Nagano went off on his way and did FSS
>>23881564>I can't get a grasp of the setting yet though. It seems almost post apocalyptic, but not.There's been rather a lot of wars in the system until fairly recently.
>>23881564>I can't get a grasp of the setting yet though. It seems almost post apocalyptic, but not.It's Dune. There's nothing to grasp. It's just Dune.
>>23881564Daba is an autist with a harem, Kyao is the first wife and everyone else spends the show fighting for their place in it.
>>23881601Fewer sandworms, more space croissants.
>>23881586He literally remade L-Gaim in FFS. The whole Colus VI arc is full of L-Gaim expy.
>>23881620>an autist with a haremSo a typical Tomino protagonist.
>>23881681Amuro, Cosmo, Shou, Uso and Bellri didn't have harems. Banjo and Judau didn't have autism.
>>23881724>Judau>not autistic
>>23881747Yeah he didn't.
>>23881747He's the most mentally stable UC protag.
>>23881620this tbdesu.
>>23881564Which episode are you on right now? I just watched L-Gaim recently too. The first 18 episodes really had me on the edge of the seat, but sadly the show never picked up the pace and the final few episodes felt like they should've been more climatic. Everything makes sense when I learned that the whole staff except Nagano wanted to just move on to Zeta, which explains why the latter half of L-Gaim feels like it's running on fumes. It's as if there's a cosmic force creating contrived coincidences and conveniently interrupted fights in order to keep this goofball alive just so Daba can have a rival.
I'm at episode 20ish at L-Gaim and I like it so far but I'm disappointed yet again it's another REBELS VS GOVERNMENT plot. Honestly.... I do prefer one girl WAY more than the other for Daba but if I know Tomino.....
>>23881571tominos view of women is split into irrational women that prioritize emotion and sex over belief and ideology that are inferior to men in serious affairs (although he views this as "reasonable" in a different sense since men in turn cant be honest with their feelings and become retards like char and kamille) and motherly women having the latent power to manipulate and rule over all because every man secretly desires a mother figure.
Daba is Judau except when he hears the call to prayer, he listens
>>23882431>Daba and co meet an older man who is supposed to be their ally>The older man actually betrays them>The older man changes their mind at the last second and gets a redemptive deathI swear this happens at least five times
L-gaim is one of my favorite shows. I think it can be as decisive as zz gundam on whether you like it.>>23882431and yet he's the best character of the whole show
>>23881648What about The Shortening of the Way?
>>23882431So he's like Jerid except not an insufferable asshole?
>>23883697Everyone's a Jerid until suddenly they aren't. But really, L-Gaim had such limited named combatants for each side, it's really jarring to see a character actually die in a fight because you'd become accustomed to see them retreat after having pretend fight in every episodes.
>>23884018>L-Gaim had such limited named combatants for each sideThere were like a dozen recurring enemy pilots and several more that didn't even become recurring that easily could have, are you high
>>23884190Most of them didn't matter much. Even the OVA couldn't be arsed to have all of the Elite 13 be relevant. Like the most notable thing we learn about sticker-faced guy is that those things on his face are stickers.
>>23884234They still take up screentime and prevent the show from focusing on more than just spinning the wheels of being an action show.Jerid should have died in episode 12, everything he does after he comes back in episode 21 is a repetition and a waste of time.
