That is awesome... cept I don't have a regular Zaku or zeta.... I could try putting my Zeong head on something thoughClassic Zeta Zaku,
Bandai even added it into the instructions for the HG.

ZZ is a good mood palette cleanse after the ending of Zeta, I still prefer Zeta and the cast over ZZ though. I'm not the hugest fan of Judau for reasons that come up a lot later than where you're at now. At the same time I liked ZZ a lot more on my second viewing than I did on my first.ZZ has now introduced me to the best Gundam variant, the Zeta Zaku
All joking aside it is pretty fun and hilarious. Enjoying ZZ so far... so far all the Axis common dates seem to fall on the Crazy eccentrics we want to get rid of side, and Chara is no exception. Ready for Beeca and his toady to get their dues. Been going at a few episodes a day so I'm making progesss
It also looks like Victory Gundam and Eureka Seven had a baby.
Did I? I love how both of those shows look. Also there are mecha chocobos and no one gives a shit what kids or prisoners do, especially kid prisoners. This show is bananas.
Reconguista is peak Tomino. With all the good and all the bad that it entails. Personally, I overall prefer restrained Tomino.Did I? I love how both of those shows look. Also there are mecha chocobos and no one gives a shit what kids or prisoners do, especially kid prisoners. This show is bananas.
I still think ZZ is the least Tomino show if that makes any sense, which is scary since ZZ is till werid as fuck...then again the OG show might be the least Tomino.
Wasn't the crazy front half of the show the part Tomino had the least amount of involvement in? He was mostly focused on CCA or something around that time? Or am I just remembering a bs rumor from forever ago.I still think ZZ is the least Tomino show if that makes any sense, which is scary since ZZ is till werid as fuck...then again the OG show might be the least Tomino.

I mean yeah but it's not Victory Gundam.
Yes, original and Zeta are my favourite Tomino shows. I find that Reconguista and Turn A veer too much into craziness for craziness sake. Victory is fine and ZZ is redeemed in its second half but I don't like the first half.
Actually the first Tomino show I ever watched. Back in 99 I think lol.
It's the proto G-Reco.While we're on the topic of other Tomino shows, is King Gainer worth watching? I've seen the OP and... wow.

Oh no, there's nothing wrong with it, it's fucking amazing! I just wanted to know if it lived up to it.
The mech design is weirdly on point for a lot of the machines that only show up for minutes at a time near the end. Meanwhile silly looking things like the Mack Knife got a lot of attention.
You would probably be fine, but if you want to see the story that this directly spins off of just watch Unicorn. It's on Netflix. And if that's not an option -- RE:0096 Unicorn is on youtube for free here in either dub or sub. Main difference being Unicorn is 7 movie length episodes and RE:0096 being those episodes cut into smaller chunks for TV.Hey guys, if I haven't been up to date on Gundam, would I still enjoy NT? Its coming to theaters and I'd love to check out Gundam on the big screen.
I asked this before watching Zeta proper and was told to avoid them.
Not a feasible substitute for the TV series, due to cutting a lot and changing the ending. The redrawn scenes are nice to look at, but clash horribly when placed alongside the old footage.
So how was the ending changed in A New Translation? I'm curious.
They don't call him Kill'em All for nothing. I don't remember any deaths in G-Reco?

Ooh, didn't even know this was coming out. Looks like I have a few theaters near me for the February 19th U.S. showing. Thanks for the heads up.I watched Gundam Narative today since it out in Cinema today, Really good and left with positive impression. Thought the movie is pretty much stand alone and didn't really add anything to UC.
Watch the original series first, then watch New Translation for the mecha fan-service, like the Hyaku Shiki and Mk.II vs the Asshimar fight.
Gundam Unicorn really isn't living up to the hype I had heard for it. The animation is nice, the music is nice, but there just isn't really anything interesting going on with the characters.
None of it is annoying or offensively bad, it's just... Bland.
I tend to agree. There is a lot of space dedicated to throwbacks from earlier series (characters and suits) and I would had preferred it if the show pushed forward and did more of its own thing. As cool as those fight sequences were. That being said I'm not too much a fan of the original designs that came out of it either.Gundam Unicorn really isn't living up to the hype I had heard for it.

It's a major upgrade over the old Bandai DVDs. Not only are the picture and sound vastly improved, but they also polished up the subtitle translations to boot.Opened an old storage bin and found my G Gundam DVDs.
How much of an upgrade is the new Blu-ray set, for those who have or have seen both?
Unicorn I believe is consistent with what one might generally find in Universal Century.Gundam Unicorn really isn't living up to the hype I had heard for it. The animation is nice, the music is nice, but there just isn't really anything interesting going on with the characters.

Oh it definitely has that in spades.
I am primarily comparing it to the other UC works I've seen (Original MSG, Zeta, War in the Pocket, 08th MS Team).Unicorn I believe is consistent with what one might generally find in Universal Century.
Were your expectations based on alternate eras or do you think it is different from what UC has previously offered?
It certainly doesn't have the drama of Seed or the hot blooded action of G.
Banagher is boring to the point where I just call him "banana," but he's pretty much just a UC Gundam protagonist condensed into a set of tropes and given Kamille's haircut. Also Unicorn takes heavily from ZZ Gundam so if you haven't seen that there are some story beats that you're not aware of...also it takes after Char's Counter Attack so you might want to watch those two.I am primarily comparing it to the other UC works I've seen (Original MSG, Zeta, War in the Pocket, 08th MS Team).
Banagher isn't a very compelling protagonist so far. Much of the information about him is given through exposition. We're told he's living on his own, but we never see him outside of school. We're told about his mother's death, but only when he's talking to his father. And he cares a lot about stopping war... But only because Mineva/Audrey told him they need to stop it.
