Gundam Reconguista in G |OT| Return of the 80s, All Hail the King
- Thread starter yami4ct
- Start date
Alright so I'm watching the OP.
The song is infinitely better than whatever the storyboarding or direction of the animation is.
I feel bad for Garnidelia as this is actually a really good song and the direction of the OP is such shit.
Somebody please tell me the storyboarding isn't this bad for the OP and I'm getting trolled/watching the wrong video.

Episode 1
I'm not gonna try and defend the show because there is no way that was a 'good' episode but it was Tomino as fuck and enjoyable. The show looks nice but is let down by some piss poor writing. Op was okay but the ED was amazing. Hint of multiple, multicoloured G-Selfs and the series Char clone has me excited to see how things to out. On to episode 2!

Gundam: Reconguista in G Episode 1:
Finally, the Tomino has come back to Gundam and given us the bastard child of Build Fighters and Eureka Seven. At least we has some pretty good 2-D mecha action. Of course the story was all over the map and confusing as fuck. Also, good to see Tomino's treatment of women is as disgusting as it ever was. I guess I will watch more episodes but my brain is already scared at this prospect.

20 minutes of Tomino doing this:
I think I would have preferred this.

oh I thought this was gonna be a sequel/sidestory/whatever to the GOAT G Gundam, carry on folks.
G-Reco 1
I uhh... I don't even know where to begin with this one. I can say that's it sure does look pretty though. I also found that shot were Bellri just became captivated with Aiida as he passed her pretty funny. I'm glad Yoshida did the character designs, and that OP was not very good.

Episode 1
Well that was weird. It does have that certain 80's vibe that's been mentioned. I'm liking the art style but not the actual animation so far. Character designs are pretty good as well.
Also the opening was kind of jarring. I was thinking it was going to be Victory-esque for the first couple episodes the way it starts. Doesn't look like that will be the case.

Episode 2 doesn't throw everything in the air like episode 1 does thankfully, much better than the first.
Day one. Already sounds better than Captain Earth.

First episode is free, but the rest isn't, and you can't pay for it if you're from North America.
GODDAMMIT SUNRISE.
I actually wonder if part of the issue for NA is due to the fact that we share the same Blu-ray region with Japan. Australia, France and the UK have streaming AND DVD/BD rights for G-Reco.

Ditto. I'll still watch.Jeez the title had me fooled into thinking this was a side story or something to the best mecha anime of all time

That first ep was all over the place!! Still, I had real fun time with it, I just hope the editing gets better cause throwing the viewer into the fray with little explanation of anything is fine, but when your editing is as incoherent as this is, it really leave you lost. It almost felt like half the scenes were cut out judging by how unfocused that first half was.

Tbh I'm excited for G Reco more than the other Gundam series in this season, and the 1st 2 episodes strenghtened it :3
Did you watch the first season of Build Fighters?
I feel like it's impossible for it not to be.
kuroneko0509

Yes. While I did enjoyed it, kinda annoyed with the 2nd half as the build knuckle 'for the win' plagued most of Sei & Reiji's matches.
I hope so. I expect Tomino to go over his usual tricks and such. I'm just hoping this skews less toward Victory and more toward Turn A.
Also rolling in the wondrously bad dialogue. Like it wouldn't be Tomino if the things people said made sense, haha.
Build Knuckling to Victory was kinda bound to happen, the same way Domon Shining Fingered his way or Bit Cloud from Zoids Strike Laser Clawed his way. For me it was more about everything else in the fight, rather than getting caught up on the inevitable finisher.

So I'm guessing I should watch Unicorn before this. But can I watch Unicorn on its own or is it a sequel to another series?
Finishing moves are going to be finishing moves.

Luckily the animations are top notch for GBF... and somehow you indirectly remind me to finish watching G Gundam :lol
You can watch Unicorn as stand alone, but having watch some of prior UC series 'may' help you in understanding it. Tbh there's no need to watch Unicorn first before watching this, based on the 1st 2 episodes. Although, who knows more & more UC related stuff popped up (although it might be sense for Victory Gundam
or G-Saviour urghhh

Why are people so confused by the first episode? It was pretty straight forward. The MCs captain found this unidentified suit (Gundam) and the pilot jetisoned and they captured her. Later on they take her up on the space elevator to someplace. Meanwhile the MC, a rookie in training member of the Space Guard is going through a training exercise when the Gundam returns. They capture it and find out it's pilot is a space pirate
Episode 1
That was... huh. Very 80s-ish like people have said, very tropey but then again it's Gundam. The ridiculous gender roles made me cringe but I guess that was only a small part of the episode so ok. It looks nice, the visuals remind me of Eureka Seven which is a plus. There were some interesting quirks like a very retro pace, and the characters "portraits" showing up in the middle of the action. Names are ridiculous, but again Gundam. I'll stick with it.
Edit: Oh and I like how the MC isn't angsty. I bet he's gonna be soon though. No way does he stay obliviously cheerful throughout the whole thing.
