Gundam 00 season 2 episodes 6-10
Like this much more than the end of season 1. At least they have forced me to actually root for the Gundams this season. Show still feels kinda weird though, like its completely undoing the first season or it was done by a 100% different team. Show has a problem with the villains. They are just more obnoxious than actual good villains, really needed a Treize Khushrenada type.


Overall I think so far

Spoiler

both

Lockon have been my favorite Gundam character after Heero Yuy.

 

[PdotMichael]

Joshiraku is already excellent ..that's why it can't become any better

We believe in Koji Kumeta. Stuff is so great that even J.C. Staff can't trainweck it.

 

[Uchip]

it's not an overreaction when it's the truth.

and the extreme objectification on women and girls in anime doesn't phase you?
hypocrite

Where did wonzo ever say he was ok with that.

 

[Uchip]

Where did wonzo ever say he was ok with that.

hes never complained.
And Japan has more specific gender roles than western culture, this is a fact.

 

[dimb]

Where did wonzo ever say he was ok with that.

I would like to think wonzo is like me and is just pulling for the extreme objectification of men as well.

 

[Defuser]

How could you resist something this moe:

By dying a horrible death because she fails to protect me.

 

[Jarmel]

By dying a horrible because she fails to protect me.

Should have bought the Saya Anti-Virus.

 

[Ultimadrago]

If you don't like it, that's fine, I'm not going to try to convince you you're wrong.

It's good to hear I have the freedom to not like bad things.

Should have bought the Saya Anti-Virus.

I heard it comes with its own virus!

 

[wonzo]

hes never complained.

yes i have, numerous times

I would like to think wonzo is like me and is just pulling for the extreme objectification of men as well.

the more manservice the better imo

you missed out on seeing many male body parts

Cant endure watching an unappealing main character even if there are eventual rewards, just not worth it.

Gundam Wing 41 - 44

Since the new OP at 41 this final arc is really spectacular thus far. No bad episodes, nothing I even dislike is present.

Spoiler

Dorothy and Relena moments are hilarious as well as her and Quatre's zero system battle tactics. 44 is one of the best episodes just in terms of both action, personalities, Quatre, and the suspense and intensity of the Libre's assault. The laser firing on Earth too was just really unexpected and really took this to being one of the more intense Gundam's Ive seen

. At moments, Gundam Age cant even compare to Gundam Wing!

Glad you're still liking it.

No frigging way DTL would not like Wing. No one should surprised.

I was surprised that alot of people seem to hate Wing.

 

[duckroll]

Just a bunch of hipsters! Real Gundam fans remain faithful!

 

[cajunator]

Just watch it, we all know that it's really about appreciating the girls doing cute things.

It definitely is.

question out of left field here: Say the show was instead about boys doing cute things would the show have the same appeal to you? surely there is some sexual attraction involved if the answer is no.

even cajunator who appears to abide by some kind of "cute things are cute" rule im sure has at least some kind of ulterior interest. if not why?

Uchip. asking all the tough questions.
Seriously though, I think you are thinking too much about this whole thing.

For the obvious reasons, he's short and fat which somehow attracts the girls which is already shatter some people's minds.. or people must have watch Accel World after coming off from Guilty Crown lol

I think it's refreshing to see a rather different type of MC than the other generic average looking MC we got so far.

I agree. Haru is a unique type of character in anime. He's not a total loser, although he has confidence issues. He's not physically normal. He's not a total klutz.
He's sort of the male equivalent of Tsukimi from Princess Jellyfish.

new theory:
girls are generally less funny than guys irl, so making comedies about them is more interesting by way of contrast

Uchip, I think you'd be better off if you just step away from this argument for a bit.

and the extreme objectification on women and girls in anime doesn't phase you?
hypocrite

In a way it is bothersome, like when fanservice is THE only reason an anime exists, but then again I BUY ANIME FIGURINES. In a way I have objectified them by actually buying an object version of them lol. But of course there also exist male character figurines, though not nearly as prevalent.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Glad you're still liking it.

Someone mentioned it has a movie, is it worth seeing/conclusive?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

But of course there also exist male character figurines, though not nearly as prevalent.

But then you have american companies that try as hard as they can to only release figures of male characters so it balances out.

Someone mentioned it has a movie, is it worth seeing/conclusive?

Yes it wa really good imo. haven't seen it in so long I don't remember alot though.

 

[dimb]

Accel World ep 18

Don't care. The stuff they left behind was boring. Embrace fun.

pretty sure those aren't made for sex appeal
unless batman is your thing

Its hard to take you very seriously with that supercute cat in your avatar.

 

[madp]

The fall season looks not bad.

no no no yes yes no
no yes yes no no no

sure, or you could watch some PVs

 

[Taruranto]

Cajunator is in for a surprise then.

 

[madp]

That defeats the entire purpose though.

 

[Defuser]

2 days already and still no Magi trailer

 

[Envelope]

Ducky has already made a noose.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

yeah but using your Batman example
characters like the 3 Batgirls, Batwoman, Catwoman, Harley, Ivy, Huntress who are sex appeal characters get maybe 1 product between all of them compared to about 50+ of Batman anything. id actually bet they'd sell more Batman body pillows than the others as well, sadly lol.

Im just saying the industries are the opposite and balance out. look at how many Rei and Asuka there are in comparison to Shinji

Spoiler

though who'd want him

in the end it kind of sucks though because I end up having to pay $100+ for something like Figma Kyon just to go with a $30 Haruhi.(would have been more worth it if it was Kyonko)

Though that raises the question, how is the Japanese toy/figure industry doing right now?
I know the American industry isn't doing that well.

 

[cajunator]

Cajunator is in for a surprise then.

Well that certainly doesn't sound promising.

 

[Envelope]

Well that certainly doesn't sound promising.

I really don't know what he means, that particular character is very cajun, at least in the PV.

huh, what's that?

[Narag]

Don't watch the movie. Watch the OVAs of Endless Waltz.

And yes, it's one of the best parts of Gundam Wing. Dat closure.

Hopefully after the way Penguindrum turned out, there will be a lot less blind hype for this.

But Penguindrum was excellent

 

[Train of Midnight]

No worries, they are not actually cousins. It just wholesome loli fun, none of that shifty incest business.

N'awwww. Oh well.

Yeah, ok. I can dig that.
