I can't believe I'm saying this, but....

.....I'm somehow less engaged than IBO.

Sure doesn't help this doesn't exactly work as a 1 a.m. group watch show.....

 

[Hellwarden]

The crew hates all these people.

 

[BatDan]

They speak for the audience.

You gots to get on that UC train fam

 

[ckohler]

Lots of strong voice talent in this.

 

[Man God]

Did no one tell the captain that the Titans lost?

 

[Doctor Decimate]

this is an....interesting 1am show

 

[Grexeno]

oh boy this is so excitzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Outside of the obvious budget differences, I'm really not seeing anything in this show that's better than IBO.

 

[cntr]

At least the animation is really good

 

[Regiruler]

I want this manchild's freckled face bashed against a wall now.

That's a rude attitude to have.

This VA seems familiar.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

If nothing else, Sunrise went all out on this show.

Whatever flaws IBO had, at least it was cut as an actual TV show and had politics you could actually follow.

Same, at least with IBO characters motivations tend to make some sense

 

[Doctor Decimate]

it seems to lack many of IBO's poorly-executed themes at least

 

[BatDan]

Phew, close call there.

You gots to get on that UC train fam

A large majority of Toonami's audience have not watched all that UC, and if they did they probably saw it years ago on old Toonami and AS

 

[Imperial Bishop]

"He's fine. It's only a little brain damage."

 

[cntr]

Toonami should get a Getter Robo or a VOTOMS show

I'd sacrifice every Gundam show (other than G Gundam) for one of those

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Sheesh. Really?

same.

But like I said last week...I am too dumb; too tired and to new to gundam for this show right now.

It seems pretty well written and generally good tho....

 

[ramoisdead]

As much as I grew weary of IBO at times, I do agree with this. So far I like Micott in this but I rather choose Mikazuki anyday.

 

[Ashby]

Their loss.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Or just air Build Fighters... just because

 

[Shard]

Hive Jump is a better run and gun game honestly.

 

[Soulflarz]

tl;dr of my various thoughts

gundam is an awful midnight+later show for when we're typing.

 

[Man God]

"He's fine. It's only a little brain damage."

Above average for a Gundam protagonist, they tend to take hits to the head.

 

[bigkrev]

Please execute Banagher and replace him with a better character

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Like I said I'm not even sure many of the issues with this show have much to do with continuity at this point

 

[BBboy20]

Oh, baaaad cuuut.

 

[BatDan]

same.

But like I said last week...I am too dumb; too tired and to new to gundam for this show right now.

I'm sure this show is great if you've watched a good number of Gundam series before this.
But that's a lot.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

I think I'm following what's going on just fine, but this is definitely a show tailored for the UC fanbase and not some AU Gundam fan like myself.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

I'm thinking about skipping Unicorn if this episode doesn't end strong.

 

[Korigama]

I'd sacrifice many, many things to bring Macross to Toonami, though it would never happen (not Delta, though, Big West can keep that).

 

[Zonic]

same.

I feel the same way. Heck, I kept fearing I just wasn't "smart" enough to "appreciate" UC0091.

& I'm also someone who has little experience with Gundam.

Hell, I'm honestly asking myself why I'm not dropping this. Probably only due to the fact I'm group watching it with you guys.

 

[MetatronM]

I'm thinking about skipping Unicorn if this episode doesn't end strong.

Since this episode is basically the first third of the second OVA episode, I'm guessing it probably doesn't.

 

[Soulflarz]

This is why we don't drop a lot of meh shows

The good part is you're entertained all night
The bad part is toonami gets worse overall. The solution is to watch what you like, but then it becomes a chore to leave for 30m every 30m and reopen the stream.

 

[cntr]

Oh, Unicorn's pretty "meh" plot-wise. Not especially awful, but not something I'd watch for the plot. The only Gundam shows I'd watch because I was interested in the plot are some early ones.

As I said, watch it for the mecha fights and space animation.

 

[Schadenfreude]

[Moaradin]

Iron Blooded Orphans aired at this time too ya know. I just thought that show was a lot easier to follow along. Sure, a lot of that has to do with it being disconnected from the UC Gundam stuff, but Unicorn also does a pretty bad job at establishing its characters and plot IMO.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I can follow the story because it really hasn't advanced. The backstory is the hazy part.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

ooo Liam O'Brien is in this.

Yeah, I already do that with Shippuden, & even then, it's hard to find something I can do for the half hour. I'd rather not have to deal with that a 2nd time, especially when HxH has a show before & after that I wouldn't watch.

G Gundam is more or less the easiest to follow, but it isn't exactly a conventional Gundam series. Unicorn, much like IBO, doesn't lend well to dividing attention with group watches.

Holy shit, it's Weltall Id!

 

[Shard]

Return of the Red Cometish.

 

[Man God]

Three times faster.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

whoa i thought for sure that was a girl last episode

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Hey, something's happening.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

That escalated quickly.
