The new Hathaway movie is out at the usual places, fully subbed.Come one, come all. Let's wash away the bad aftertaste of SEED Freedom.
unprotected sex with kenneth...
>>24001147Why is it every website now finally has it on the server, but its all the shitty russian cam from months back?
>>24001148Sometimes he kind of reminds me of Toblerone from Escape 2000.
>>24001147Its kinda wild that his official bio acknowledges that he deserted the EF to fight the titans. Makes me think about how the official EF documents refer to the titans thing
>>24001179I imagine a>we don't talk about them unless we have to talk about them and if we have to talk about them you don't have the clearance to hear itkind of situation.As far as the bigwigs are concerned Bright was willing to abandon his wife and children to join the anti-Federation organization once, he could do it again. And he has a tendency to leading Newtypes to boot.Bright forming a Newtype pilots force and organizing a coup was a more serious threat than Char amassing forces back in the day. As far as the higher ups were concerned, anyway. Doesn't matter if it had no reflection in reality.
>>24001179How exactly does the EF decide its okay to let him back in after that?Is there anything post-mafty on noa? No way they would overlook both his defection and his son being a "terrorist"
>>24001195I just also thought about what he did during the third neo zeon war, this guy is one hell of a rogue but they keep giving him power....Bright might actually be more of a gary stu than amuro.
>>24001195they do not overlook him, that's the climax of the story
movie was pretty dope see y'all again in five years
>>24001214I miss him so much bros.
feddie pilots are so shitLane is a pathetic moron>B-BUT THE XI IS SUPERIOReven so, his capabilities and judgement as a pilot leave a fucking lot to be desired, why they assigned him to be a gundam pilot anyways?
>>24001242Because he was the test pilot and the only person with experience handling Penelope, they say basically this in the first movie. Intercepting the raid on Davao was his first real combat sortie, man's total battlefield experience by the end of the second movie is a couple hours.
>>24001248after this performance anyone with a brain fighting terrorists would have demoted him to clean latrines with a toothbrush for live and put someone else
>>24001242>feddie pilots are so shitThere is a detail in ALL of uc that gets commonly overlooked, and its that feddie pilots always strike the cockpit and zeon pilots always strike the head. Even bernie, a total noob in a broken kai would have defeated the gundam alex if he just knew the feddie tendency to murder the pilot, which has been a massive taboo for pilots since ww1. It genuinely takes more skill to strike the head to disable the suit than to strike the torso and kill the pilot, and thats why its exceptionally rare to see them fight as skillfully. I know some people excuse this as "zeon only targets the head because they dont want to cause a nuclear reaction" or whatever, but that only further drives the point, the feddies are wreckless idiots and their only good pilots were amuro and that goofball from the titans.
Is it just me or did Gigi get Hala killed?She was pretty much telling Kenneth her prediction of Mafty's locations throughout the movie right?
>>24001147I was in Japan for 3 months in February when it was in theaters, I held myself from watching it due to the lack of subtitles but I finally watched it today and It was a masterpiece, Hathaway's psychotic breakdown when he see's the mass production Nu and the flashback showing the POV inside his Jegan during Char's rebellion was the icing on the cake, I loved that that they showed a noticeable age difference between the 12 year old Jegan cockpit and the XI, I love little details like that and one thing I found cool was the POV from within Lain's cockpit, you could see the XI's beamsaber slowly melting his cockpit with Lain panicking inside, I found that cool.See you guys back in 5 years.
Ive seen CCA like 5 times but this movie made me notice that the cockpits hud change the color of space
>>24001254You have given me a new perspective, I always thought Bernie was dumb going the head, I saw their stances and knew he was cooked, but this gives new meaning, it means that Zeon objectively do have better pilots if they fight more to disable the machine and prevent nuclear fallout.I honestly wished UC had both the Federation and Zeon disband post CCA that way it could have more stories and conflict with the various factions from the 2.
>>24001276The color change is a cockpit feature brought in from the Gryps war days to make opponents and obstacles in space more visible.
The CGI mech fights are still weird. Guess that happens when you license Guns N Roses and some nigress for your music. I enjoyed the first movie more.
This movie was a pile of shit and made me angry. It is the worst Gundam movie and it's not even close.I don't want boring barbie picking out dresses and furniture for an hour. So I can watch CGI fights on par with Reboot or early Gundam evolve. And no one has any personality and there's no plot progression. The movie builds up the assembly and then ends before it happens. The only thing that changed was Gigi is now with Hathaway. Nothing else has changed. The double love triangle is written for stupid women just like the music videos were.I would rather watch witch than this garbage. Witch was shit but it has characters with personality. There is maybe 5 minutes of good footage in this movie and it's all CCA related and nothing around it is watchable. This movie shouldn't exist. Its a filler episode extended to 105 minutes. And the ending looks so badly animated its comedic. MP Nu got a badass kit and it can barely move and none of the weapons even work because every weapon misses the xi without the xi moving. It's all so bad. No one cares about Gigi except desperate virgins. She doesnt have a personality. Shes just a mary sue pet character for the writer and director to constantly praise while she shits up the movie like chronic stomach flu.
>>24001242>Lane is a pathetic moronThat's the fucking joke, in case it flew over your head. In the same way Gyunei Guss was a Char wannabe, Lane is an Amuro wannabe.The movie even rubs it in your face with the pseud Nu.
>>24001268>you could see the XI's beamsaber slowly melting his cockpit with Lain panicking inside, I found that cool.See? SEE?! That's how you fucking do it.Not this "oh, but the beam didn't *directly* cut through his body" bullshit.
>>24001316I hated the nigress jungle music more than anything, you know have normie praising the music selection and it's annoying as fuck.
>>24001357>>24001316What's going on in here? I thought you weren't allowed to be ray-ciss on four chan.
>>24001147Good movie but the direction and soundtrack was so much better in the first movie.Many moments of this second movie felt almost tedious to watch due to lack of ambient soundtrack throughout most of the movie. And the fucking exposition scene in the Valiant's kitchen where the camera angle kept changing between 10 characters over the course of 20 seconds has to be studied for years to come, holy shit. What a horrific clusterfuck of terrible direction and pacing.
>>24001267stop being superstitious kenneth, we live in the age of science.
I just don't care what happens to hathaway.>omg but did you know he gets the zxri gundamu and he does all these things and he's haunted by flashbacks and...I don't care what happens to hathaway. I didn't even care what happened to him in CCA. Why would you make an entire three movie spinoff about this glup shitto?
>>24001242>even so, his capabilities and judgement as a pilot leave a fucking lot to be desireddid we watch the same film? lane fared really well with what he got, hathaway even praised his dodges.>why they assigned him to be a gundam pilot anyways?maybe cause he's good and has done well in flight tests?
>>24001423kys fag wartard.
>>24001427flight tests are not equal to fucking combat tests
>>24001293In traditional swordsmanship (And some modern fencing) the head is the only target that matters, because when you attack the head you are protecting the rest of the body... however, this is dangerous when fencing the "newbie" or the "drunk", despite an instinct to protect the head, those without a proper "fight psychology" may not even consider the mortal danger to themselves in order to exploit a cheap opening, which leads to good fighters getting badly hurt or even dying to get their kill.Also its kinda bullshit that amuro still stabs zakus in the cockpit and it doesnt cause a reaction, the idea that he is able to somehow magically account for all angles, physics and reactions in order to consistently prevent these issues after just the first fight is peak spacewizardbullshit.>>24001338>gyunei gusswhat the fuck was his problem?
>>24001423because hathaway is a badass maftyfuckler?>>24001431Am I remembering correctly? wasnt the girl in WitP a total ace in the combat sim? She only beat the kampfer by having giant armor, and only beat bernie in a ghetto zaku because she let him destroy the alex in order to hamburger his cockpit?
Is the film on netflix as dark as it was in theaters?
Just got done watching this.It's...fine.
>>24001455Yes.
I just watched it, holy shit he's suck
>>24001486He's trying his best
>>24001440>wasnt the girl in WitP a total ace in the combat sim?no, when we see her in the simulator she ends the combat sim by dying to a rick dom bazookathe guys monitoring the simulator results said that her results have improved 30% compared to what I guess is the baseline either her regular results or maybe an average pilot, but the goal is to have 80% improvement which I guess is closer to amuro's datain the case of lane, kenneth assigned him to the penelope because apparently they have no better pilot available. remember kenneth half-joking that he'd let hathaway become the penelope's pilot in the first movie? the joke wasn't for no reason, recall that hathaway was hailed as a hero in the news press since the official londo bell combat logs for char's rebellion claimed that hathaway stole a jegan and proceeded to shoot down a neo zeon mobile armor with it, which means people believe he's a newtype because of that miraculous feat
I liked it. Some scenes are too fucking dark.
Quess absolutely sucked in CCA. So seeing her back in scenes within this ruined my whole weekend.This movie legitimately made me nostalgic for how much i fucking hated that character. She absolutely ruins CCA for me.
>>24001179>>24001193>>24001195The Federation renounced the Titans after the speech in Dakar and them becoming a rogue force in cahoots with the Jovian menace, so I guess Bright would be fine with the military brass.France is a good example: the Free French Forces get official state recognition, whereas the Vichy collaborators in the Milice are denounced to this day.
>>24001486>>24001491He isn't called Lame Aim for nohting
>>24001168Because it was just released on Netflix with official subtitles.
>>24001147Loved it. And the "issue" surrounding Amuro's inability to make any lasting impact in the Universal Century, considering his status and legend, is being addressed. He tells Hathaway to go join politics if he wants change but that's obviously a pipe dream to anyone paying attention. Amuro has literally no response other than warning him of not sounding like Char... which he also never had an answer for if we want to be completely honest about that too. It's some very satisfying dialogue all triggered just by seeing a mass-produced Nu. It seems like Hathaway did succeed in severing his mutual affairs and relationships by the end of it and became really disassociated as they decided to hide his face with his helmet. But Gigi reversed all of that and stopped him from melting Lane while also getting him to take off his helmet, basically bringing him right back where he was. It was a cool match with the Xi also showing it's true face at the end, proving it's a real Gundam to Lane's words. So it turns out Hathaway's true self is more emotional and he actually cannot transcend his carnal lust or mutual affairs. Good movie.
I just finished it. It was mid. The CCA nostalgiabait and brown tomboy sideboob were the only real strong parts for me. CGI mecha is just never going to work for me if this is the best the only studio still even making mecha anymore can do.
>>24001607You forgot to say it looks like a PS2 cutscene. You grognards always say that when crying about CGI in anime.
>>24001618That would be an insult to the PS2. 3D gendum games probably look better than this movie in every aspect except poly count.
this movie wasted so much time on Gigi's luxury life.I'm starting to hate this character
>>24001623filtered, stick to clips from youtube and sakugabooru
>>24001634>Coming to a mecha board>watching a mecha movie>defending for a worthless coombait charactergo back to /lgbt/
>>24001293>prevent nuclear fallout.For the last fucking time, UC Gundam uses FUSION, not FISSION.There are no heavy materials that would create "fallout" (residual radioisotope contamination). At best, a hit to the reactor would cause a thermal runaway explosion with some gamma rays, but no persistent pollution to the environment.Are you the moron that shat all over the GQuuuuux threads?
>>24001319The I came here to basically post this. The Hathaway movies have been very disappointing so far. I doubt the third will be any better.
Julia wasn't even wearing dungarees in the original novel
>>24001349Lane wasn't injured much at all despite being right next to the goddamn thing
>>24001655Because Mafty wasn't aiming straight at the cockpit, instead cutting the MP Nu in pieces, with the beam rifle at low power.He could've incinerated Lane in an instant with a full power stab, but didn't. Rather, he was being very methodical about the ordeal.
>>24001254>>24001293Gundam constantly forgets that suits can explode. They explode only if the writer remembers they can and wants them to. There's no consistency about it, they sometimes detonate from glancing hits as well.This is also double stupid and wrong because targeting the head doesn't destroy a suit alone. "Aiming to target the head" means you'll need to double tap them anyway if the pilot doesn't eject and switches to backup cameras.
>>24001653I don't want topless Julia, I want naked Hala and Quess
>spreading her legs and looking at her own crotch while realizing she has daddy issuesTomino truly is a master at cinematography.
>>24001148Is Kenneth an Arab? He's kinda brown.
>>24001685They made him Phillippino so it's more fitting for him to be the commander of Duvao
>>24001696nothing says he is filipino, Kenneth came from Space to replace Kimberley as commander.
>>24001636fuck off retard
>>24001148Very disgusting.
>>24001696I see. I still haven't watched the movies.
>>24001420Why do people like you exist? You explain why the movie is bad, it's clearly imcomplete like the mp nu fight is missing music for a large part of it. Then you say its good. Wtf?>>24001423Its supposed to be commentary on bland people pretending to be their heroes. But it doesn't work as theyre all bland. A schizo newtype whos haunted by ghosts is an interesting hook. But it doesnt interact with any of the story. Its just Hathaway freaking out. And then being bland again.
>>24001147>Let's wash away the bad aftertaste of SEED Freedom.lol seething UCfag upset SEED Freedom was the best thing to come out of Gundam in years and broke records.Meanwhile Hathalame's Flush did nothing.
>so much mechanical detail for a cut that lasts three secondsSeed could never.
I need Quess in all aspects that matter
>>24001697Nothing says he isn't either. Wish they'd Filipinized his surname to "Segal" or "Selga" too.
>>24001794Kenneth’s dad is a white man bro, just like it would be in reality
>>24001821>just like it would be in realityIsn't the U.C. timeline at least 200 years in the future? Why would there be any white people left? The fact that Char and his sister are Aryan is unrealistic as fuck.
>>24001742>>XI Gundam is so huge you can stage an entire scene on its hand
>>24001835Is Xi and Penelope bigger than your standard MS? Not really into the series just played it in G Gens
>>24001841Xi is around 26m, while most MS are around 18m.
>>24001794oh man I love Mark Dacascos
People keep saying Xi has a smaller subarm for smaller weapons but I can't seem to find images of it. Can anyone help?
Was this bit from the HG Penelope Manual referring to Venom Lane or something? Because the guy I just saw in this movie wasn't him.
>>24001898The new HG Xi comes with adapters.
I'm cheering for Lane.
>>24001899>be lame aim>gets given latest and greatest gundam that can fucking fly in-atmosphere and do crazy vector thrusting>suit even has an oh-shit purge armour last resort>first resort, takes down a messer while fucking up half a SEA city>reprimanded, gives attitude>second resort, faces an on par MS, falls for a simple decoy without using his eyes, misses a 22m MS jumping him in an open field without buildings>doesn't even armour purge into odysseus gundam, just jobs to missiles>reprimanded for fucking up latest and greatest suit, demands a slapdash suit that can also fly>complains that it's slapdash training suit>opponent fucks him up without even acknowledging him, opponent was fighting mental hallucination>despite the suits being fucking fast he gets physically slammed, trap missiles, armour purged, and physically got jumped by a giant MS because muh smokeCan he job any harder?
>>24001905Why is he still trusted with machines that probably cost millions to build? Surely there are better pilots in the federation
>>24001906That's exactly what I am thinking. I understand that the movie can't deviate from the set story of the novel too much, but at least give him some other scenes of competence, goddamn. How is he supposed to be the main rival to Hathaway for 3 movies, when in the second one we see Hathaway not even needing to acknowledge him and was fighting his own mental ghost.>muh capture netAt this point I'd rather Sleg himself piloted something. Lane Aim has no stakes in the whole thing.
>>24001899Lane went from not being able to hit the Xi at all in the first movie, to at least being able to damage it in the second movie. Something even other Federation veterans were struggling.Plus, the Alyzeus was worse than the Penelope which was already worse than the Xi to begin with.The true question to power scale is if Hathaway was zoning out or locking in during his schizoid episode. I lean more towards locking in.
>>24001831Chinks and Japs love LOVE! white people and will break reality to have them. Weird they always add in blonde aryans when they would have had more contact with typical brown haired whites, but they whatever. They love them some aryans
>5 minutes in>Hathaway is already having a schizo episodeNice.
>>24001910If Hathaway was imagining fighting Amuro then he was probs locked in, cause in his mind Amuro is the goat, he’s that guy, it’s like schizo out thinking your going against LeBron, so you lock in
>>24001455On my shit TV from two decades ago at least, no.
The morning Gigi leaves the apartment and you see her naked silhouette stretching getting out of bed, if you turn up the brightness it's not actually black and all the color data is there.>>24001683>Tomino>>24001742twitter repost
>>24001717Seed Freedom felt like a fucking shounen show compared to HF
I can't get over how they chose to focus on hyper-realistic catty women powergames, this movie was made for women for some fucking reason
>>24001911It's also weird how hard the nazis glazed Scandinavians since those blonde snow elves haven't accomplished much. Some twitter people with PhDs in racism did a graph thingy of the average European inventor throughout history, he would've been a man with either blue or green eyes (mostly blue) and his hair would've been some shade of brown. Virtually never blonde! Don't get me wrong, I think blonde snow elves are the most beautiful Native European tribe but they're highly overrated.
>>24001147I'm an hour in and unless this has the most spectacular battle scene at the end, this movie feels like a total waste of time. Hugely disappointing compared to the first one which Id put top 5 /m/ anime ever.>dude cinematic camera angles>dude licensed songs>dude rotoscoping >dude fanservice >dude gigi (why am I supposed to care about this vapid whore again? It's been two movies and I still have no idea)
>>24001961As much as I loved a drawn Hong Kong being featured in a Gundam film, the whole Gigi setting up the apartment makes no sense, less so to get its own fucking montage>I have to go to Hong Kong because one of my old rich sugar daddies bought me a place and I have to go set it up, with his money of course>please get me to HK I have this vapid task to complete>now watch me hire consultants with his money to decorate his place up>cue music>mission complete, old man who will never visit this place, watch me leave a worn nightie before I got back to being a lucky charm for this army dude with a horse whip??????????????????
How did Hathaway "captured" Gigi in the novel?
>>24001966this was the exact point in the movie I realized something was really off
Why does this movie have almost no music?
The word I would use to describe this movie is "distasteful". The licensed music is so out of place, the fanservice is excessive for a serious war drama movie, the scene and camera angle direction is so up its own ass, the montages suck, the editing is horrible, the dialogue feels weirdly stiff even for gundam.
>>24001975Btw my favorite movie is Boss Baby not sure if that matters.
>>24001975I find it pretty unwatchable for an anime movie. Every single shot is so zoomed in you don't see anything but the character.
>>24001841Mobile suits in UC start at about 18 metres for a standard design and grow to 20-ish by the 0090s. Hero suits are often a bit taller again. The frontline EFF suit in Hathaway, the Gustav Karl, is 22 metres. Xi and Penelope both tower over them, they're deliberately quite monstrous and barely recognisable as Gundams. They're not just taller but bulkier too, it's a very deliberate decision to obscure the humanoid form within them. Later on when you get to around UC 0120, the meta goes the other way. Size crept up because it was the only way to increase the strength of the suits, but all of a sudden there's breakthroughs in reactor miniaturisation and now you can have a 16 metre tall suit of equivalent output to a 20 metre one, while being more agile, lighter and a smaller target.The tech progression through UC is a really neat part of the setting, I like how it doesn't always go in one direction.
>>24001975>serious war dramaTo be fair it's not really even a war drama, on the scale of UC it's a small terrorist insurgency that ticked less politically than other UC conflicts. It would have been a footnote if it weren't for Mafty getting a Gundam to do it in.
>less than 10 minutes of mobile suit action in a 2 hour movieholy shit. I had a feeling from the trailers this might be a little thin on action, but I didnt realize it'd be this bad.
>>24001993youre right, the proportion of budget spent on animating gigi's ass should be parallel to the scale of the conflict being depicted
>>24001995Ugh this too. Fujoshits ate cancer. Who did the screen play for this? The same fucker who did Captain Earth?Per episode that typically had about 8 to 15 seconds of mecha action.
Honestly don't know what you ret/a/rds are expecting. Literally the only non-shite Gundam media is 0080.
>>24001975>t. tastelet
>>24001997Are you gay by any means or just another zoomer larping as a prude?
>>24002000kys, war in pocket is such a contrived zeek story.
>>24001961>>24001966>>24001971>>24001975Filtered
The whole guangzhou(?) and hostage and feint operation thing could have been told way better.
>>24001179>He later assumed command of the Nahel AragamaYeah for about 5 seconds, fucking Bright stealing Beecha's credit.
>>24001995The movie *added* action that the novel didn't have in this part
>>24001900>>24001898huh I see..
>>24002012yeah it's been ages since I read bad translation version, but the australia battles were supposed to be the final showdown/capture?
>>24002000F91CCAG Reco moviesHathaway was even worse than the Seed movies
I mean I get the whole Amuro trauma thing but why was Hathaway just spacing out and playing with Lane for the first half of the fight? He gets right on top of him and even grabs Lane's mobile suit and then... does basically nothing? There's a whole bunch of sort of back and forth nothing exchanges throughout the fight until Hathaway finally decides he wants to nut up and kill the guy
>>24002017Me Gundam protag me teen boy war is bad I can't fight waaaa waaaa cri.
>>24001970>How did Hathaway "captured" Gigi in the novel?Exactly the same way as in the movie, except without the Alyzeus fight.
>>24002017Something something Newtype
>>24002019I mean I fully understand the whole spacing out at the Nu Gundam part but he had literally no problem dispatching the mooks and yet he just randomly decides now he's going to play with his foodI know Lane is a cut above and isn't going to die INSTANTLY, I expected some maneuvering but he just kinda sits there and lets the guy fire missiles at him before thinking "Huh, wonder if I should shoot back"
Why didn't Hathaway just sleep with Kenneth so he'd give him the Penelope? He could've gotten two goddamn gundams.
>>24002005nope, I normally love anime's unapologetic love of the female form and body. I hate faux puritan values, its just insanely out of place in this movie. Its excessive and constantly jarring.
Quess did nothing wrongChar would also successfully groom most anons
>>24002012maybe they should have added a little more then jesus christ what a dull film
>>24002024Then who's going to pilot the other Gundam?
FUCK ADULTS
>last 15 mins of the film are hathaway having a schizo CCA fanservice melty >then him and gigi kiss and sweet child o mine starts playingAI could have done better.
>>24002030Hathaway sleeps with Lane Aim shortly after getting the Penelope and recruits his twink ass to Mafty. Or Hala
>>24002000Absolutely disgusting use of trips. Delete your fucking post NOW!
>>24002027Char barely even tried with Quess and it still worked
>>24002033>haters are jeetsSeems about right.
>Lane Aim is like 22>Keeps seething about "adults"This shit is embarrassing.
>>24002026>its just insanely out of place in this movieAre you retarded? Did you watch on a second monitor?
>Lane never met Bright Noa>sucks at piloting the Gundam unlike other Gundam pilots before himBravo Tomino

>>24002057Listen here wise guy you try beating the most advanced Gundam built so far in a fucking trainer.
>>24002051Judau was the worst pilot of any Gundam show. Usually protags are some technological whiz, here it's just a kid from the bronx.Does Shinobu a disservice!
i watched it for she
>>24002061He surprise stabbed Xi in the face like an overexcited teenager with his first swimming pool boner rather than into the cockpit, point blank range. He was literally just panic button mashing.
>>24002066she's not even that hot
>>24002065I can't believe they made her job offscreen.
>>24002067I'm 6'2 I could snap you two with my bare hands and you'd react the same way
So Mirai and Fa just have the same VA now? I mean the VA fits Mirai far more than she ever did Fa but it's still kind of weird.
>>24002067That was an automated response not him controlling it. Yet another reason to not trust clankers.
>>24002075oooh you're hard, anon>>24002078>APPROVE
>>24001486Still don't know why Hathaway movies and Gundam movies in general went with the 0083 aesthetics lately
>>24002043
>>24001572>Amuro's inability to make any lasting impact He wasn't trying to though, Amuro refuses to be seen as a symbol or a hero because he believes there are better people suited for that role. Only thing Amuro actually wanted was to help guide the younger generation and let them be the change. Which he can't do since he's dead
hathaway really should have took his meds at the start of the movie guy seems a bit mental
>>24001572>He tellsHe doesn't. It's Hathaway's untreated PTSD newtype hallucination. Amuro's ghost is probably watching with Lalah's and Char's in a swan shaped cloud going wtf is he doing
>>24001943Proof?
Movie was awesome but it makes me seethe we'll have to wait another five years for the conclusion
>>24002017It looked like he was evading funnel shots by being close. I am guessing the armor was too strong and he only tried his surgical torture after the MP Nu was naked.
>>24002089Lets be real, hathaway is a retard who deserves every bad thing that happens. The only person why I feel sorry for is Bright
>>24001999You had to remind me of Captain Earth. Well pretty much all Bones mecha shows were huge waste of potential with arguable exception of E7.
DON'T HIT WITH NO HESITATION
So this is the capture net?
>>24002099Fuck Bright, he lost his balls after ZZ and is now a glorified lapdog of Federation.
>>24002104The only thing I remember about Captain Earth at this point is the designs of the girls.
>>24002110That they had, and kickass Helvetica obsessed promotional design, for some reason.
>>240020952030 at worst
>>24002109Unicorn: exposed as a bluffing fraud who won't back up tough wordsHathaway: an entire career amounting to literal controlled opposition and not rocking the boat when it matteredfeels bad man
>>24002095they have said it'll take 3-5 years, hopefully it comes out at around 50th anniversary.
>>24002134Maybe if they don't get stuck on getting Gigi's rotoscoped hairstrands just right and focus on cool robots going pew pew they'd get it done sooner and with more actual plot
>>24001841They're massive. They are the results of true flight type Gundams after the Byralant tested the theory of a flight MS. Don't sleep on the Messers either those things are taller than the Kshatriya
>>24001906>>24001905How soon you forget Jerid who single handedly bankrupted the Titans with all the MS he was getting owned in by a child with a girl's name
>>24002142Counterpoint, Jerid offed some parents.
>>24002143Who hasn't in UC? Small time.
having that boomer song as the ed is so fucking cringe imho
>>24002116sucks he didn't get his frenchmen moustache
>>24002146Every vocal track sucked and was pointlessHow did we go from Tracer to this
>>24002106That scene and music transfer from the beat of hathaway laying in bed to the club to gawman's attack to the POV of a MS battle from the human perspective was so good.
>>24002070Yeah, they could've cut the my big house decoration montage to show the attack on the valiant
>>24002106>>24002150One of my favorite moments of the original film, cool to see others make note of it
>>24002150>the POV of a MS battle from the human perspectiveLiterally the thing that made Film1 noteworthy and well-received was the ground perspective looking up with all the sparks and sense of scale, almost like a kaiju-film in that respect. Where the fuck did that go, and how did we go from that to PS2 texture sand outback australia with pre-dawn lighting for no good reasonWe had night battle in the first film already over the water, why did we need another dark setpiece for the second film? It's not like they can't animate in sunlight lighting, they had it for the opening montage on the valiant etc
>>24002146the op was shit too
>>24002156look man i'm just glad the battles aren't happening it pitch black darkness and i can actually see whats happening this time
>>24002160Moebius is so good and gave off a spy thriller atmosphere that the first movie was going for.
>>24002156dark scene is a common technique to hide bad cg
>>24002168True but you can be like Pacific Rim and use rain with spot lighting to highlight the Mobile Suits at least
>>24002156I was a big fan of the weight that they had too, mobile suits in Hathaway sorta feel like heavy oversized fighter jets with a lot of inertia and finesse required to pilot them in atmosphereCombined with the cockpit warnings that are straight out of a fighter jet it sorta helps justify that these are HARD to pilot and that unless you're highly skilled whether you live or die is probably a lot of luck and hoping you're in a better position than the other guyI'd honestly like to see whoever is responsible for the fight choreography for the first film tackle a Gundam series with an actual focus on the aerial combat and less on the story
>>24002091I think it's a very on-brand answer from Amuro even if it's Hathaway's subconscious trying to rationalize his own actions.
>>24002176see>>24002135Penelope and Xi are MS that have full flight control versus controlled falling or jumping, so it makes sense that they act more plane like
It's got me thinking though, why does so much of UC boil down to "Dude, I want to have SEX"It's like a constant theme.Amuro, Char, Hathaway, their motivations end up boiling down to "Dude, I REALLY want to have SEX"I think Kamille boiled down to that too, most of the UC protags are either mommy issues, sex craving, or both
>>24001716>Moron incapable of nuanced thought or understanding people having different takes yet still enjoying products despite faults
>>24002189I think you've boiled it down too far and lost a lot of dimensions and nuance, but also that's been a major driving force for humanity for literally all of recorded history, especially if you simplify it like that.
The EN dub was pretty good, I just wish they pronounced Davao correctly.
>>24002189>why do people trapped on a ship want to have sex>like why do they REALLY want to have sex??!I don't know man, go ask some marines why so-called straight men end up raping the weakest most feminine guy on the ship after a few months of sailing around the Middle East.
>>24002189Uhhh... have YOU tried sex?
>>24002193I mean sure Char and Amuro had SOME motivations aside from clinging to Lalah but what has Hathaway's goal in life been aside from chasing pussyI guess it also kinda annoys me how he basically instantly discards his former lover (Kelia) the MOMENT he meets Gigi, like sorry mid bitch the hot hooker is giving me a chance the prostitute is totally falling for me, later loserAt least with Kenneth, his overall attitude and Mace kinda suggests he just sees her as a bird of fancy that will provide him with good fortune, but he knows he can't actually cage her or lock her down
>>24002222>I guess it also kinda annoys me how he basically instantly discards his former lover (Kelia) the MOMENT he meets Gigi, like sorry mid bitch the hot hooker is giving me a chance the prostitute is totally falling for me, later loserwhat film did you watch?
>>24002189Human evolution and survival is centred around sex, and in extension sex for next generation.Physique? Money? Status? Control? All just to give yourself better options and chances for sex at the end of the day.Death comes for everyone, with no exception. The only difference maker is whether you left a bit of yourself behind.Tomino just extended this ethos to humans and newtypes.
It's more humiliating for Lane that mid-fight he's not even important enough to be acknowledged and his opponent (Hathaway) has to hallucinate up someone more interesting to fight as he gets nodiffed.
Julia is for relentless anal.
>>24002257Need a quickie with Hala honestly
>>24001502Quess was so much better in the manga and mangaNot even really because she was better as a character, but because they didnt cover up the insane federation abuses that would actually make her seem more reasonable (or excuse her weird schizo shit). Her friends are murdered by federation police when they take her back to her dad, and the opening is talking about how they have rumours that the poor people and tourists from space get abducted by rich federation "elites" to be killed and eaten.>>24001517Theres an undercurrent in UC that I hate, not because of the line itself, but because people online always fall for the propaganda, even when the show tells you its bullshit.Every random thing girhen, kycillia, or haman does = reflective of all zeon, down to the gruntiest of grunts and the most removed of civilliansLiterally anything the federation does which is indefensible evil = its actually just that one singular individual, who we have cut off from the group, everything is fine, this will not happen again (it happens again)Theres no way that isnt a jab at how democratic systems maintain themselves by being able to pass culpability off to individuals at any time, while monarchic systems are mischaracterized by actual isolated incidents thanks to the ability to actually point at a singular entity in charge.Never forget that Cima was disgraced by the soldiers and citizens of zeon because girhen tricked her into murdering an entire colony, but somehow this is a warcrime of zeon, while the federation gets to gas C30 and claim it was a rogue element and everyone just goes "okay, so glad were the good guys"
>>24002275>Quess was so much better in the manga and manga? what did you mean by this? and by the manga do you mean Beltorchika's Children?
Hathaway is retard and had his entire ideology blown out by a taxi driver
>>24001572>He tells Hathaway to go join politics if he wants change but that's obviously a pipe dream to anyone paying attention.Kinda funny, didnt char tell amuro he'd make a shit politician, then they laughed about how they couldnt actually change anything, just before amuro said char could probably accomplish something if he was a human sacrifice?Amuro sure seems like a cunt with nothing but bad advice.>>24001649NTA but isnt there a series where they specifically say they have to avoid this because the pollution on earth is so horrid at that point that these continued ground conflicts with beam weapons are going to destroy earth? It was one of the newer ones, i remember some 2000s looking animation.>>24001672I dont think zakus have secondary cameras, I am certain I remember a moment in uc where a pilot has blinded and has to open the cockpit or something to see.
>>24002289Is the Taxi driver piloting a Gundam and fucking hot bitches? No?Quod erat demonstrandum
>>24002233At least in the novel he sunk the ship with the Penelope. Not sure what they staff have against him.
>>24002283>manga and mangaFUCK, i meant "novel", i originally said "manga and novel", then deleted it to say "novel and manga" since the manga is based on the novel, but i guess i wrote manga twice, lol.But yes, rereading it i was wrong, no implication of eating, just hunting for fun, and not poor people, just spacenoids.>>24002289People keep saying this but it doesnt make any sense, is the idea that because he didnt argue with him that he's accepting it?
Is it true he and Gigi fuck inside the Gundam, Mikazuki style?
>>24002377No.
>>24001572>Amuro never had a response to CharBecause Char was unhinged and had absolutely zero arguments or plans for the future and neither does Hathaway.>humans are destroying Earth! They must leave!We see that the Earth is slowly getting better since Zeon is no longer dropping colonies on it every other Tuesday. Crazy, huh?>the Federation is corrupt!Ok, how is Hathaway going to solve it? What's his plan? To overthrow the government? Then what?Hell, Hathaway was at a complete loss when a random taxi driver told him Mafty is full of shit and regular people don't care about any of that garbage he spews. Hathaway could not defend his ideals against some random low-class worker! He's not fit to lead either, as proven by him getting his people killed in this movie and not giving a fuck because he was too busy jerking off to his memory of a 14-year old girl in a desperate attempt to forget about the 19-year old prostitute he fell in love with.So yeah, when Amuro says "you sound like Char" he's actually showing him that his entire project is just him lashing out at the world for personal issues. Hathaway himself has no way to defend himself against Amuro.
>>24001716How the fuck do you not understand the lack of music in that fight was intentional. They even had the audio on all the audio alerts cranked. It was purposely empty to both give some immersion, but also to contrast with how the music comes in when Hathaway starts snapping and fighting ghosts.
>>24002426>They even had the audio on all the audio alerts crankedwhere is my hype and aura Sawano :(
>>24002434>Sawanoew
>>24002434I like Sawano, but liked how it was done. Not everything needs to aura farm. Also if anything it's a longer version of an inverted beat drop.
>>24001147I don’t got netflix Any sites got a rip up yet?
I really loved the movie, but the first one was better. I still appreciate that it looked really well done. Probably the best looking anime movie I have seen yet.I guess the source material just didn't give much more in the plot department. Hopefully it will for the finale?
>>24002275>Theres no way that isnt a jab at how democratic systems maintain themselves by being able to pass culpability off to individuals at any time, while monarchic systems are mischaracterized by actual isolated incidents thanks to the ability to actually point at a singular entity in charge.This is precisely what Japan did after WWII. Everyone fell on their sword and blamed the Supreme War Council for the war's conduction in order to save "Japan" as an entity: the country is innocent, it was just misguided by the war-hungry generals!>Literally anything the federation does which is indefensible evil = its actually just that one singular individual, who we have cut off from the group, everything is fine, this will not happen again (it happens again)If there's one work that won't fall for that specific bullshit is Hathaway. The Manhunters continue to operate during Gaia Gear, a century after the Mafty rebellion. At that stage, the Federation exists exclusively as a militarized police force.>but anon, f91 and victory happen afterwards, and neither mentions anything about space ice raids!And Tomino doesn't care much about that, especially fucking Victory. He put all of his energy into novels during those days.
>>24001319Lil bro got filtered lmao
>>24001696I know a Filipino named Kenneth so I believe it.
>>24002135Gigi statue revenue is going to take Bandai stock to the moon.
>>24001905I like Lane. His typical Gundam "i hate adults" horseshit aside, he's the one character that's a skeptic in a world where magic is literally real.
>>24002492Uh yeah, the usual place where we all get anime rips.
Wait, Cardeas?!Didn't he die about a decade before the events of Mafty? Also, what's this thing doing acknowledging the existence of Unicorn?
>>24002300the point of the taxi driver scene is that he is an average guy, the exact type of person Hathway says he is fighting for and he clearly states he, and neither anyone else similar to him, give a single shit about the grandiose ideals Hathway thinks he and Mafty represent nor the stupid ass retarded notion of somehow abandoning earth to migrate to space just because some retarded faggot claimed sowhy?because the average person barely goes by living in the present, worrying about being able to eat the next day, of course they won't care about what happens in the span of the next 20 years or so. Just think about the mere logistics, man effort, migration procedures and effort that action would require, neither the feddies, nor the colonies would be willing to carry it outHathway stays silent in that exchange obivously to not raise suspicions, but it is clear by his posture and mood in that scene that he knows the guy is right and what he is doing is pointless, but still feels the need to do so
The iBook G3 is an antique in our day and age, much less in UC 105.
>>24002556Cardeas Boundenwooden, not Cardas Vist.
>>24002575Well, that's fucking confusing. I know Tomino has a knack for recycling names, but that doesn't mean Fukui can join in the fun.
>>24002574uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh excuse me sweaty that's Anaheim Electronic's latest laptop released in UC104 in retro style body??????????
>>24002570>Just think about the mere logistics, man effort, migration procedures and effort that action would require, neither the feddies, nor the colonies would be willing to carry it outThis is a solved problem. https://zeonic-republic.net/?page_id=9065>Fifty years have passed since the announcement of the space emigration project. As soon as the ten Island 3 type colonies and more than 1000 massive shuttles were completed, the Federation government declared the dawn of a new era for humanity, the Universal Century, and began recruiting emigrants. Considering that a universal calendar had not yet been established even when the Earth Federation was founded, the extraordinary enthusiasm and confidence from the government was evident here.>The emigration program progressed smoothly thanks to a large-scale emigration recruitment campaign, preferential treatment for those who wished to emigrate, and support from organizations like the Frontier Settlement Transport Bureau (later known as the Public Corporation of Space Transport), and by U.C.0040, the Federation government had sent as many as 5 billion people into outer space.By the time of Mafty's rebellion, the Federation had already shipped millions of people to the Sides. The Manhunters exist to send all the people that don't want to leave or migrated back illegally.>The Earth Federation government’s emigration policy had begun distorting toward expelling almost all but the most privileged class into space, all in the name of restoring and protecting Earth’s environment. The only difference between Mafty and official Federation policy is that of fairness/extremism:>Feds: everyone leaves to space* (*except those with resident cards)>Mafty: EVERYONE LEAVES TO SPACE, ZERO EXCEPTIONS!
>minovsky particles mean conventional BVR weaponry are fucked, that's the universe rules>hence MS close combat>beam weaponry outclass ballistics early on>psychommu weaponry extends attack range to almost BVR, still need to "see" target to hit>minovsky craft means you can fly in atmosphere and have the mobility similar to space combat>back to jet dogfight basics; be the first to get behind your enemy>this movie proves old-fashioned smoke is enough for you to jump an enemy literally from behind without any sensors going offSo why haven't they developed a smoke/anti-smoke meta
>>24002589>EVERYONE LEAVES TO SPACE, ZERO EXCEPTIONS!I'd argue Hathaway does not buy into his own koolaid of Mafty's supposed mission; He only aims to punish EFF for their corruption with no end goal restructuring in mind. and >>24002570>feels the need to do sobecause he's dedicated most if not all of his adult life (from the gf life flashback) to getting into and rising in ranks of Mafty, he know nothing else. It's less "I have to take down EF because they're bad guys" and more "it's the only thing I know and have". I think he is shortsighted, and his Char parallel in the Amuro hallucination conversation shows that he, like Char, only uses all the politics and terrorist acts as a front for his Quess/Chan issues, like Char did. The only difference is Char may have been aware that he was fucked up and was doing it anyway, because Chat had the means and lineage, but Hathaway doesn't. I'd think it's harder to imagine that Hathaway saw a roadmap beyond Quack Salver.
>>24002508>Probably the best looking anime movie I have seen yet.DRYL Blows this out of the water
>>24002399>Because Char was unhinged and had absolutely zero arguments or plans for the future and neither does Hathaway.Char main goal was most to create a stage where he can die at and mostly likely didn't give a fuck if the Axis dropped succeed or not. It's also the main reason he has no real rebuttal to anything Amuro says because he himself isn't fully on board with it
>>24002595>The only difference is Char may have been aware that he was fucked up and was doing it anyway, because Chat had the means and lineage, but Hathaway doesn't. I'd think it's harder to imagine that Hathaway saw a roadmap beyond Quack Salver.Yeah, the novel is quite explicit as to how this "Quack Salver" individual (who, if I'm reading this correctly, is actually a high-officer in the Federation that orchestrated the whole rebellion as a soft coup of sorts has been manipulating Hathaway for a while to do his bidding.>the meansAs you well say, it's also a matter of resources. Whereas Char had Axis's whole fleet behind him, with scores of MS and ships to support his rebellion, Mafty is a very shoestring operation. >and lineageI wonder if Hathaway could've had more success if he had acted with the "Noa" name: star pilot that took down a Zeon MS with little training at Londo Bell, the son of the man that saved the Earth sphere thrice over. Who knows if he could've fractured the Federation in the same way Char did with his speech in Qatar.There's also another hint of Char here in how (going by the Tomino novel) Jimba Ral brainwashed the Deikun siblings into their father's Newtype woo and obsession against the Zabis. It didn't take much with Sayla, but Char eventually died waging that battle.
>>24002399>Because Char was unhinged and had absolutely zero arguments or plans for the future and neither does Hathaway.>le char is crazyCan you people just stop pretending you understand?He hasnt gone mad, He's tired. He was tired after the OYW and despite doing everything he could to restart, half of zeta was about people shaming him into becoming Char. Amuro mocks him by saying he should become a human sacrifice like his father because amuro is actually a loudmouth who constantly says and does retarded things. Char takes this seriously because Char knows amuro is a far more powerful space wizard than he is.In CCA he sets amuro up multiple times to give him the chance to stop him because Char is something of a fatalist and is using Amuro's success or failure as the bellweather.Tomino makes it clear in the novel, where Char loses the fight and attempts his escape, the deed being done, but amuro glues his thrusters and grabs him, and char panics because amuro attempts to stop axis, which Char rightfully points out is going to just result in them getting killed. When he realizes amuro isnt going to stop, he just sighs and resigns to fate. The axis drop was also argued for a million different times both before, during, and after CCA>Space creates newtypes>Newtypes are a supernatural ability to understand each other>Get humans into space so we stop doing stupid shit to each other and destroying the only planet we haveHe was never intending to destroy the planet, he was intending to force the feddies into space, thus creating "souls not weighed down by gravity"This is out right proven to be necessary with Turn A, when the destruction got so bad the spacenoids used the moonlight butterfly to finally do the deed so earth could be restored. Greco has basically the same story.
>>24002591>back to jet dogfight basics; be the first to get behind your enemyisn't that just because aircraft have limited mobility and heatseekers naturally want to target the biggest heat source which are the engines?>>this movie proves old-fashioned smoke is enough for you to jump an enemy literally from behind without any sensors going offthat was already a thing in zeta and OYW>So why haven't they developed a smoke/anti-smoke metaboth units are just as blind but the (better) newtype can see through the smoke. newtypes are still that one in a thousand or ten thousand and making artificial newtypes never really worked out properly
>>24001944>Seed Freedom felt like a fucking shounen show compared to HFThat's because it IS a shonen show.The Cosmic Era was intended to be garishly-colored garbage for kiddies from day fucking one. The movie is selling the same shit to the same audience, regardless if everyone involved is two decades older and ought to have gotten some taste in the interim.
Why do people think Hathaway believes in anything? Thr movies make it clear he doesn't believe in any ideals, he just wants to do something. He's a no body, the son of a legend with no purpose or goal in life. He knew the biggest celebrities in history and all he did was be a bland fuck up. So as a man with no goal or purpose is turns to terrorism as something to do. Something that might have an impact, anything to be more than a bland nothing existing for no reason. But it doesn't work because he cannot escape his past and his mental state.The reason why he doesn't debate with the taxi driver is he doesn't give a fuck. The second movie is very clear on this point.Mafty are naive idiots playing war. The fed are naive idiots playing war. Mafty is too soft, the feds are too harsh. Both are a synptom of the federation being in decline. Post CCA the federation is nothing but fat cats and children. No one with anu experienced survived the 3 precious wars. So now they can't even deal with a minor rebellion and need to call in the legendary hero Bright to handle 1 gundam and 5 zakus. No one believes anything, theyre just collapsing.
>>24002555That being?…
>>24002672If zoomer vermin don't know how to use torrents, they have no place on 4chan either.Leave.
>>24002666The problem with your assessment is that Char knows newtypes don't solve the communication problem. Infact the reason why Amuro dies in the novel is he cannot communicate with Char and his newtype team mates. He just physically screams at them. And he saw Haman have 2 connections and she freaked out and tried to kill people for connecting with her.Char does not believe newtypes solve the human problems. Char is haunted by Lalah and she constantly brings Amuro and Char into conflict. Char has many canon chances to kill Amuro and beats him in the Dijeh kai then lets him go. Char believes in his fathers ideals as in newtypes exist. But then you have him doing shit like sending the neo zeong plans back in time. Which makes the phenex girl have to tard wrangle alive newtypes to get rid of it. And char can time travel as a newtype ghost and knows this. So wtf does he even stand for? If he wants understanding he doesnt send the neo zeong back.
What mobile suit would Gigi pilot?
>>24002681BALLS
>>24002681A mydickeroo, it's from Crossbone you might not know about it.
>>24002685wow she'd be like 47 years old
>>24002680>So wtf does he even stand for? If he wants understanding he doesnt send the neo zeong back.That was supposed to be the figment of Char's soul that is cuckoo crazy.There's no consistency to any of this bullshit at all, but at least read Fukui's essay on Newtypes: https://www.zeonic-republic.net/translation/fukui_newtype.pdf
>>24002689 (summary)>Afterlife in UC is where souls become divine, similar to the Buddhist/Shinto concept of individual deities. A "True/Perfected Newtype" is a collective intelligence wholly connected to the afterlife.>Lalah and Rita exist as spectres of sorts, capable of communicating with espers like Amuro/Char/Jona, but unable to influence the physical world. They exist between dimensions.>Souls in the Beyond Time cannot affect the physical world, unless aided by technology, such as a psycommu/bio-sensor/psycoframe, where they can perceive time as a physical dimension (Lalah: "Oh, Amuro... I can see time!"). Dead heroines such as Lalah, Four, Rosamia and Puru guide the protagonists.>During the fight with the Elmeth, Amuro could have trancended to the Beyond Time with Lalah, but was stopped. This encounter, however, scarred him forever, leaving him aloof and distant to others, starting relationships with down-to-earth women like Beltorchika and Chan.>Scirocco took Kamille's soul with him during their confrontation (Scirocco: "I'm taking your soul with me"), but Kamille's physical form remained alive. A shard of his soul stayed in his body, but he's mostly gone.>Judau remained in the physical realm after his fight with Haman, but decided not to transcend and instead moved on from the Earth sphere. Something similar happened to Banagher.>Axis was, indeed, stopped by the collective will of humankind: Chan's soul resonated with the Psycoframe sample ("the T") after her death, sending a message to the souls of everyone in the Earth sphere and stop Axis from falling.
>>24002574"antique" is at least 100 years oldI'm pretty sure they've figured out how to retro stuff in UC like we currently do
>>24002078I really like how Hathaway's been fleshing out the function of mobile suits. We don't normally get so much UI porn.
>>24002689how did you find this book on the site? the novels are easy to sort through, but i swear finding anything else is beyond unintuitive.
>>24002729>but i swear finding anything else is beyond unintuitive.Zeonic's site was rebuilt not too long ago, so trying to navigate it is a fool's errand. The best alternative is to search on Google and hope the files are still out there, either on the site or reuploaded elsewhere.
>>24002672Here's a hint: the website name is associated with an animal.
>>24002728>We don't normally get so much UI porn.We do, actually: https://e-hentai.org/g/3914419/490bfbbb7a/It's only the lazy shit like SEED Freedom that don't bother with interfaces beyond the basics.
>>24002667As an addendum to this, in land combat the idea is that you smoke your enemy, not yourself. Obviously you can't always land one in their lap, but the idea is you're worrying about obstructing their line of sight. You use smoke for concealment but you don't conceal yourself in smoke if you have any choice. Doing so obscures your own vision and gives a great big 'shoot in this general area' sign.Smoke exists in Gundam but most of the fights we see are too in close for deployment to really make a lot of sense.>isn't that just because aircraft have limited mobility and heatseekers naturally want to target the biggest heat source which are the engines?There's also the physics element of it. Your missile has to lock target, fire off your rail and clear of your plane, keep track of the target, then turn to intercept at its calculated ideal point.There's very little time for all that to happen up close, and I think you can probably imagine how vanishingly small the window is for having someone on your nose if you're travelling in opposite directions while also trying to evade each other.Improvements over time have made this less critical though. For heatseekers specifically, 'all-aspect' missiles can lock onto an enemy aircraft from any orientation. Head-mounted cueing systems mean that you can slave the seeker to your head rotation and tell it 'fuck that guy over there' instead of it being boresighted along your plane. These days radar-guided missiles are much better up close than they used to be too. The AIM-7 and Skyflash both had variants designed for dogfight viability and modern active radar missiles like the AIM-120 are much better suited again because they're fire-and-forget.>>24002740I should've probably specified good UI porn. I know they're both rooted in the same design language but there's a lot of stuff in Unicorn that bothered me, the silly coverflow weapon selection scroll jumps out.
>>24002740Like this here is the kind of stuff I think Hathaway did really well. It's got a lot of aesthetic embellishments obviously, but when you look at the MFD your eye is immediately drawn to the functional information anyway. The information also tells a story about both how tightly planned the operation is and the kind of planning you need to do in UC, particularly if you're trying to be covert and not just burn through the interference. The AR overlay jittering around because it's refreshing differently from the underlying video feed and the sensor fusion it's using is imperfect is such a little touch they didn't need to add but I adore it.WfM had pretty alright UI stuff, I think it benefitted a lot from being produced across the hall from Hathaway.I love the focus on the symbology
>>24002747Personally, I really liked the UI design in GQuuuuux. It's enough to look industrial/military, rather than "retro for the sake of it".
>>24002756The bottom is my fav in your pic provided anon, which series?
>>24002426>the lack of music in that fight was intentional. They even had the audio on all the audio alerts cranked.>the relentless alerts>the roar of the engines>the sound the funnel missiles make when they launch and sputter off because they are too close to detonate>the flecks of exploded shit hitting Xi Gundam's "windshield"kino
>>24002756Anon, you are tempting me to actually watch Gqux. I hope you can live with this.
>>24002747all that shit for 10 mins of actual fighting, dunno if that's based or just wasted autism
>>24002763>>24002756I wish I could unwatch GQux
>>24002758It says so right there in the post.Here, have a Zaku's BIOS bootup.
>>24002760>the high-pass filter when Gigi and Kenneth are talking on the plane with headphones>the two different sounds between "ALERT" and "WARNING">the cracking sound of metal when accelerating
>>24002764wait til you find out what happens in production for movies in general like set design and costumes for scenes that are even more brief. it's a crazy world
