I second that. I think the Gundams and some of the mobile suits look super cool, but other ones look kinda bland to me.

Man, so I'm like eight or nine eps in Zeta Gundam, and the slap-happiness has become farcical. It's hard to take seriously. Granted MSG had lots of slapping, but it was usually to bring someone who was frantic, deranged, or otherwise not of normal sound mind back down to reality. Bright would slap Amuro out of his stupors, not simply because he disagreed with him. He'd yell at him or lock him up if that were the case. Kamille is getting beaten unconcious by people who simply don't know how to express themselves or make a point without neanderthal violence. I kinda hope Kamille just gets pushed so far he snaps and murders everyone in the AEUG because at this point I feel bad for the kid. The only one who kinda supports him in a tough-love-but-not-abusive way is Char, who just sort of lets events take their toll on him as punishment for his actions.

Sometimes the only way to get through to a child is to slap them though. The Wong Slap is awesome!!

Wong didn't slap him, though, he just kicked the shit out of him.
That's not getting through to anyone. Maybe in a bizzare, inhuman world of aliens maybe, but with real people you can't savagely beat someone and expect them to come around. (as shown by the fact that Kamille didn't come around) Let alone an angsty, clearly emotionally stunted child. You're just going to turn him into a barely functional sociopath who only responds to and with violence. I can only assume, given his history with depression, Tomino was not in a wholey stable state of mind when writing this show and it shows. The people don't interact like people, they interact like conflicting, volitile emotions that react violently when they come in contact with each other. The show definitely feels sloggy right now. I don't know what the ultimate goal is, (defeat the Titans I think) or what sort of paths anyone's really one. I don't know if Kamille is in a coming of age story that will change him, or if his ideals are being tested and he's going to stick by his beliefs and not change. Nobody else even has a story. The one girl who defected from the Titans did so so quickly and smoothly I wasn't even aware of the transition. She's just with the AEUG now, with barely a distrusting look. In fact she's more welcome and supported than Kamille is. It's so weird and... alien. Last edited by SPLIT LIP; 01-22-2017 at 12:39 PM.. |

This week's episode of IBO.... war crimes.... war crimes everywhere. Defintley gives McGillis' goal of reforming Gjallerhorn some legitimacy.

Oh man this ep fucking sucked. I mean it was great, but like it was sad. Sadder than Beesquetto for me.

Man, I can't remember a Gundam show that had this much sexual tension.
