Schwartz is made of pure awesome

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.

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.

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.
