And so the new Gundam series rolls around again, as inevitable as the tides.
It’s based in a continuua 2000 years after humanity gets into space, and humanity on Earth has forgotten about higher-technology and fallen into a pre-WW1 era, while the people on the Moon keep their advanced society. Three kids go back to Earth to scout ahead, and as negotiations break down on an agreement for living room for the Moonlanders, war breaks out, which of course results in earth’s pwnage and blah blah blah.
It’s not as good as Gundam SEED. It’s amusing to watch how the earth peeps react to the Mobile Suits etc, but the plot is kinda dull and like every other Gundam ever, the hero is made from the same cookie-cutter as Kira and Heero (except this time he DOES have some sensitivity in him :O) and the MS design, IMO, kinda sucks, since they decided to re-design from the ground up. The artwork was designed up the Street Fighter III artist Yasuda Akira, and it looks old and unattractive compared to most new series. Or any anime made after 1995 for that matter.
It’ll probably get better as the series progresses, the conflict hots up and more protagonists are introduced, but it doesn’t look like it’ll be on the same par as SEED or Wing.
And yes, there’s still a person in a crappy mask.
MOUSTACHE GUNDAM! >:O
EDIT: Just bothered to watch the OP. The intro sucks. I mean, REALLY sucks.
Hence the reason I prefer mechs like the ones in Armored Core or Front Mission, cause they were actually robots and not Giant versions of rejected Megaman bosses
It looks pretty extreme. But not in the way that I find myself enjoying. More in the “OH SHIT someones coming, I cant let anyone who has a SOUL see me watching this crap” kinda extreme… >_<
Oooooh myyyy gooooosh! Here come teh eval monstur who will destroy our city! And our hero come now! Horjay, thank you for helping us Giant 60s Robot!!!
