In which we discuss important topics like:
>will Gquuux beat out Witch for worst Gundam of all time or buck the trend and end up being good
>which anime is the best and why is it G Gundam
>why The Origin's mere existence justifies a colony drop
>how the hell did Tomino get away with Ple 😭
>why the Big Zam should have been mass-produced

Note for the UC geeks: an anon is translating Gundam Senki over at smug/tg/ and has discovered an absolute treasure trove of background material. Ever wanted to know how Char could have ganked Amuro at Side 7 or why Zeon keeps popping up like fucking dandelions decades after the OYW ended? Now you can!

puru puru puru puru puru puru!
Watched the original trilogy and Char's Counterattack not too long ago.
Are the other gundam titles as good?

I liked the other Tomino gundams but some of them are a vastly different experience. Turn A is unique in its conflict and G no Reconguista's story is hard to follow. Victory is the closest to the original trilogy. F91 was nice to watch but is just a single movie in its corner(assuming you don't read the manga of that UC era)
Gundam 0080 war in the pocket is arguably the best non-Tomino gundam.
>>173
Good is relative but some are definitely better than others. Victory is the sequel to CCA/F91, but it was made at a time when Bandai had just bought the series and was pushing to make it more toyetic and Tomino's team simply ran out of fucks to give. It's got some great shitposts and one of the angriest protags in UC, but it's barely touched on these days for a reason. Also don't watch Unicorn it's bad.

Outside of the UC I can personally recommend G for being a wild ride, but it's wuxia Gundam. Turn A is supposed to be good, not sure why it's only remembered for having a Gundam with a mustache and a brown twink who's forced to crossdress at one point for a protagonist. Wing isn't terrible but it turns into an endless soap opera halfway through, I feel like it pretty much coasts on Toonami nostalgia. Witch is the worst Gundam, avoid it.

I like the new Gundam but I can understand why people hate the modern stuff in it. You could argue about modern tech by saying a Zeon-win timeline sped up the technological progress but the modern culture stuff would be hard to cope using that logic especially since it's UC0085 and Zeta/Double Zeta were 80s culturally.

>will Gquuux beat out Witch for worst Gundam of all time or buck the trend and end up being good
Gquux could be seventeen hours of a guy giving bland Gunpla reveals while audbily shitting, and I would still like it over Witch From Mercury.
Gquux could have Tomino himself come out of the screen, slap me upside the head, and call me a stupid faggot for even bothering, and I would still like it over Witch From Mercury.
Gquuux could be Gundam Seed Destiny in slightly higher quality, and I would still like it over Witch From Mercury.
It would take a new series somehow literally blowing up my house and killing my loved ones to hate it more than G-Witch. Witch has done irreparable damage to mecha as a whole, made me regret every time I beat off to lesbian hentai, and to this day I wonder if Elliot Rodger had a point. I'd be glad that nigger cattle are coming down from beating off to WFM and are now finally fucking realizing that the show was complete sludge that people only liked because muhdik, but at this point, I view Witch apologists as beyond redemption. They infested the franchise, they can have the rotting corpse it is. God I hate G-Witch.
>which anime is the best and why is it G Gundam
You're right. You're absolutely right. But you misspelled Zeta Gundam.

What's wrong with Unicorn?
Replies: >>706 >>709

Unicorn just don't fit in UC, it retcon so much stuff. Also while Zeta is very good, Double Zeta is double gooder and thus is the goodest Gundam.
G-witch is pretty trash, it could have been good but they wasted all their potential. They turned the anime into some shitty school battle with mecha and only remembered at the end that this isn't Gundam. Also the romance shit in it fucking suck and act as a light for all the mentally ill shipfag mosquitoes buzzing around; Tomino made awfully realistic female characters and that's why it was good even if it was horrible to be around those females.

Mecha has been dying for decades. Before you bring up Bravern, I'm pretty sure it would have been finalized as gay robot porn well before they could crib anything from G-Bitch. Superbia > everyone btw

I haven't actually watched Unicorn but from what I know it essentially copypasted a good chunk of The Origin's bad ideas into UC canon. ZZ is too messy for me and the main robot too toyetic for me to call it better than Zeta, though it is good in its own right.

Haman wasn't realistic, she was actually competent.

Haman was too good, I could have fixed her... I meant for awful girls the ones like Recoa who just switch side because the guy's she into won't give her enough attention(basically almost all the girls in Xabungle) and Katejina from Victory is the very similar, Emma Sheen too in a way but she had an actual reason to switch side at first. Most characters in CCA weren't right in the head but Nanai had to compete with some indian space ghost cunny and actual new newtype cunny rival for Char's attention and you can clearly see the sexual tension with her.
Also at the end of the day, Haman after failing to get Char's cock went after Judeau's cock who was half her age. Let's not even go into all the cyber-newtypes and actual schizo like Chara Soon or the Moon Moon girls.
Tomino's girl weren't really waifu-baits nor shipfag baits.

I will admit that my preference for ZZ is mostly driven by Zeon, Haman and the main cast of kid is better than in Zeta for me. Not even Char or Bright could beat Won, but Judeau turned him into a bitch, that's what a real alpha child soldier look like.
