Plus the whole beam boxing ring around the earth.

As I said before the early episodes are a bit slow. Skip to 12 and watch that short arc. If that doesn't give you a feeling that the show is turning around then it's probably just not the sort of thing you will enjoy.
I guess the problem is, I've already seen TTGL. And that is pretty much what I think G-Gundam wanted to be long before TTGL even existed, but G-Gundam isn't TTGL not even close. It's like a poor man's version. I may as well just watch til episode 12 and if I'm not feeling it by then, I'll drop it.

Well if you do then you'll be missing out on the really cool characters like Schwartz Brudder, Neo Germany's totally culturally-accurate Super Ninja.

And that you called G-Gundam "a poor man's TTGL" is quite a statement. Maybe you can't watch older shows? I mean I can't go back and replay older games because I've been babied by newer graphics and controls. Not everything is supposed to be timeless. Its charm is in part due to how old it is and the fact that they decided to do something so radical with the Gundam franchise.

But to each his/her own. I get enough flak for saying EVA was a terrible attempt at a pseudo-Biblical Mecha anime.

While I love your defense of G-Gundam, I want to smack you for saying that about Eva :lol

your defense of G Gundam is welcome but you shall be tortured for saying that about EVA. :lol

It's jarring when you're reminded you're the only one who didn't like Gurren :lol

Give it a second chance. I think it's ok so far, then again...I haven't gotten to the really crazy stuff yet.

"Now you shall know the power of German Ninjutsu!"
-Schwartz Brudder, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 3

Schwartz is made of pure awesome :lol

At least make it to the Tokyo government building arc before giving up. Even then, G Gundam is hit and miss until they reach Hong Kong.

I hate comparing Super Robot animes to TTGL. TTGL is to Super Robots as Futurama is to Sci-Fi. A genre love letter comedy full of nerdy in-jokes and adult humor. A normal Super Robot anime is nowhere near as crazy over the top as TTGL.


PS For the record, TTGL is still a great show, just like Futurama.

Getter Robo comes pretty close. But yeah for the most part I agree.

Thank you for reminding me I need to watch more Getter Robo. I'm so hoping that Dino Getter ends up being a new anime.
