im mostly watching it since cassie is the biggest gundam nerd ive ever seen invented so she wants me to dl it every week to plex broadcast to our like 46" tv and im like yeah sure ill come along i barely seen any gundam

ive seen like 9 eps of g gundam and she made me watch f91

and now im like, cool were getting somewhere

needed some capitalists getting slapped around

also why does that one evil grandma company all look like evil versions of my own grandmother, she would just have to shave her head, she already only wears purple

fortunately it's a new AU Gundam so it's totally disconnected and all

lmao Four Evil Grandmas is too much though

cassie lived with my gramma a year and she was just like "no they somehow made your gramma evil, that's just her"

we're still gonna finish g gundam for me and then do turn a

she made me watch f91 for the sick animation and the "you wont believe how compressed this plot is" since she told me the story of its development

i was really high and it just.....f91 really happened

take the script for a full length tv series and shove it in the car crusher

but yeah the F91 itself is one of my favorite designs

yeah she really likes the concepts of the gundams in it but holy shit the compression, i felt like i was there only 20 minutes and 8 hours somehow

absolutely hilarious experience

she figures by the end, g gundam will be my fave since she said "its just a long wuxia movie" and turn a is one of her absolute faves

and she told me all about tomino's own depression and alcoholism and how he came back to make turn a after cleaning up and im like, holy shit relatable content

G Gundam is that indeed

she is just a walking living gundampedia so it helps me make sense of what everyone talks about

that always helps

esp if you aren't watching the original series and its immediate followups

yeah she's trying to pick the most "atma friendly" things to start with and then going down the list from most to least, tho i dont think she will ever make me watch seed or wing

outside of like, getting high and watching it as a joke

i think she's also mentioned double zeta

SEED is meh

Wing is... definitely one to watch high

I like ZZ a lot though

yeah she said zz would be up my alley, and then regular zeta

i really am surprised she hasnt done the Weapon/Werlyt stuff in FF14 yet since it's extremely a Gundam, you get a Gundam, you turn it into the Dendrobium at one point, you fight Weapons with pilots going into overdrive as an evil pilot experiment, they let you pose with the mech any time you want, you get one boss fight using the gundam

and the devs confessed to watching a lot of gundam at the time and gave the mech the same colors

which is from Stardust Memory

pretty mediocre plot, very good animation and designs

they even give you a figure for your room you get a fuckin gunpla

so if she's gonna have me watch a gundam im gonna get her through this storyline since it's Just Gundam

they should make you build it

that would be so much fun

use the sprue cutters with your mouse

my wol is a big weeb who grew up reading manga and pulp novels, she would be so into that

gundam is like jojo it's just everywhere

what a range of cultural impact

it's interesting cuz g witch is aimed partly at getting younger ppl back into it

after the last series really didn't land with The Kids

that one was IBO right? i think she had me watch some eps of it to analyze how a few characters use japanese

...which is why they're going so hard on Capitalism as the villain

and yeah im cheering every time i see the show go hey, capitalism bad, finally, some good fuckin food in anime
