Goddamn the last few minutes of 6 are good. Also I just noticed that Google's autocorrect suggestion for "Banagher" is "herbage".

I'm enjoying Boom Boom Satellites way too much though, I also loved their Xam'd Opening. But I'm with you on episode 4 being the best so far (though I still have to watch the finale). So much good stuff in there and my favorite side character (Zinnerman) got a lot of screentime as well. Can't wait for the finale, Gotta get to it right now :>. |

| Nagi no Asukararara good show |

| The 0079 films are a pretty reasonable alternative. My bias makes me want people to trudge through the TV show, but yeah, the time commitment and age of the show can be an issue. On the other-hand, I still think the benefit of getting to know the characters over the longer period of time is a big win if you actually end up liking old Gundam. But Tomino's antics can be pretty painful to watch, so the 0079 films are definitley a strong alternative. So there's the goofiness and some strong stories that can be gained with watching TV - wheas the films have a tighter story, cuts out most of the super-robot vestiges, and has redone animation to boot. The other thing is that even with the 0079 films, there's still all of Zeta, which, while less formulaic and aged better than 0079 - it'll still be a hurdle in some parts - and if you're not familiar with Tomino's wackiness (the films only really give you a taster), then you might find that a hurdle to deal with. Then there's ZZ and CCA, which are generally seen as being in poor taste. But it's all worth it for the Unicorn at the end. I also think that going through 0079 first - film or TV - helps add that wider-universe dimension to the OVA side-stories. On the other-hand, viewing order could give you unrealstic or specific expectations as to what a Gundam show should be like. In the end, starting with 0079 - if you have the time - is probably a very good entry point if you intend to watch a lot of Gundams. In addendum: going from TV and then watching the films later would probably be a lot more pleasant than doing the reverse. Also, for a real definitive 'serious' and proper rendition of 0079 - the Gundam Origins manga is the way to go. The manga probably loses a good deal of charm if you haven't seen the films or TV anime though. |

cupc said: How to watch all of the Universal Century (=UC) timeline Gundam, the TL;DR of TL;DR Mobile Suit Gundam -> (08th MS Team OVA') (War in the Pocket OVA) -> (Stardust Memory OVA) -> Zeta Gundam -> ZZ Gundam -> Char's Counterattack -> Unicorn Gundam -> F91 -> Victory Gundam The OVAs are optional, but are definitely a nice break from the Tomino Gundams that all of the UC TV series are. The 'core' UC Gundams are probably the original Mobile Suit Gundam, Zeta Gundam, Char's Counterattack and perhaps ZZ and Unicorn. Those are pretty much the 'essentials' of UC timeline. Or you could just start from an Alternate Universe (=AU) Gundam. SEED and 00 are popular choices with modern animation. Turn A is an amazing choice, definitely one of my favorite Gundams. (Well, theoretically Turn A is not AU, but I don't want to confuse more at this point.) I've got this I don't know if its helpful to anyone I have one by Ckan too, but I can't seem to find it |

| ^ I think viewing order (outside of the core chronology of 0079>Zeta>ZZ>CCA>Unicorn) - viewing order should really depend on personal preference. Some people like in-universe chronological. Some would be better off watching the show that they're in the mood for. Some might be better with a chronological + release order combination, and some might want to do 100% release order, leaving Unicorn for last. So the only defiinite is the core 5 parter being seen in that order, and even ZZ is questioned by some timesaver sorts. JizzyHitler said: I suppose a lot of people do enjoy CCA for what it brings as a conclusion, but I do think the majority of viewers - even the UC fans - the majority tend to have strong issue with the countless problems of the film.Ckan said: Not really, CCA only has a vocal minority like me and a few others, i generally get alot of shit from fans for not liking it.Then there's ZZ and CCA, which are generally seen as being in poor taste. CCA is good in that it's no less worse than Zeta overall, and definitely an improvement from ZZ's tragically weak parts. The quality bump is also helpful in adding to assauge our hurt over the film. If we reach back to 0079 - 0079 too can't be completely absolved of its weaker roots, and the compilation films are a little awkwardly sprawling and stuck together for it to be a true contender. So then we compare with Unicorn - which pretty much does everything right, but it also lacks to the Tomino 'flair' - no matter how well they dealt with his ideas. I suppose straight up comparisons between the entries is also a little awkward, because CCA was obviously Tomino's finale to the core conflict, so it doesn't really singly stand on its own either. |
| TOTD: So when people do multiple tasks at the same time, it's not even multitasking. Its time sharing. They're brains just have more memory and capacity than others to quickly switch from one task to the next. That's why when, for example, you're trying to listen to a podcast but play a very complex strategy game, you find yourself unable to do both at once. Because its not possible for the human mind to simultaneously do two or more things at once without straining itself, unless it has some sort of relevance to the game. People just assume its multitasking because of how easily, efficiently, and swiftly they carry out different tasks. But the reality is that they simply have enough brain capacity and memory to do so, or because the tasks are tightly related in relevance, thus not requiring a shiteton of memory to switch from one to the next. Like a computer. Computers aren't designed to carry out multiple tasks at once. That's why when you think your browser crashes you can watch anime while you wait for it to rescramble, your media player doesn't work because its using too much memory trying to rescramble itself in one area, that it doesn't have enough memory to switch over to the other task. So all you have to do is divide your attention (or your brain memory) between the tasks in order to efficiently carry out each of them without delay. But that takes a helluva lot of time and a helluva lot of practice. Mmm, that seems pretty legit Also, I've noticed that Togashi tends to style characters based on personality and their fighting abilities. Mmmm, that could certainly come in use ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

| AH! found it ckan said: The TLDR is that there's one core timeline with main entires and a bunch of side stories. Then there's the alternate universes which are almost all unrelated. Main in-universe timeline (Universal Century = UC) is old and mostly release order, and goes: Mobile Suit Gundam > Zeta > ZZ > Counterattack film > Unicorn. There is variable levels of continutiy, but these do form a core storyline, so you do have to watch them (except psosibly ZZ). Continuing in-universe goes F91 > Victory. - these are somewaht optional Technically you can add Turn A to the end of that as it's a Tomino series and also slightly connected - Tomino's the main director/writer of all these UC Gundams except for Unicorn which is heavily based off his stuff. THen there are the UC side story OVAs which can be seen in-universe order, at your leisure as standalone, or not at all. THeres a lot of them. The Alternate Univeress (AU) are essentially standalone , possibly with their own sequels. (This includes G, AGE, SEED, WIng, 00, X, and possibly more im forgetting.) THe only one that is significant and different is Build Fighters - watchable on its own but chock-full of Gundam references. Each of the AU can be very different from the 'usual' gundam sow, and there's often slight homages or re-used tropes, but those arent really important. SEED and AGE lean heavily on old gundam stories though. The best starters are either a standalone UC OVA, a random AU Gundam (Most of them are full TV series), or starting from the beginnining with the orignal (aka 0079). If starting with the original theres the options of the TV series or the touched up compilation films which are a good alternative, but also quite a different experience. There's also the Gundam: The Origin manga which is a fantastic retelling of 0079 with additional parts, but it's not all avaialable in english yet, and it might be more enjoyalbe as a Gundamfan. That's the short long of it. |

| ^It's embarassing how much convoluted nothing I can type up on Gundam. ReaperCreeper said: I'm not much an expert on that, but the one manga that's rubber stamped by the fandom is Gundam: The Origin which is a retelling of the Original 0079 Gundam, but with added background and 'flashback' elements.So how does the Gundam manga fit in to all of that? That new material is what's getting an upcoming anime adaptation. Outside of that, for UC Gundam, there's a lot of manga and novels. Most of them are side-stories from other theatres of war, side-events, or retellings. Not many are translated. One worth noting is Crossbone Gundam, which is somewhat a sequel to the disconnected from the timeline, F91 (post-Unicorn UC goes F91>Crossbone>>>>Victory), and the original run was written by Tomino. It's a relatively more childish story, and the art has a lot to ask, but it became hugely popular, and has had countless continuations and spinoffs. |
hentai_eucli said: But that's like basic creative writing know how.... Do they do it differently in gundam animu? Maybe I should watch one, after all, assuming they think outside of the basic creative writing plot structure and it's totally spectacularly different from the basics, lel. That could be useful in my own writing.AH! found it ckan said: The TLDR is that there's one core timeline with main entries and a bunch of side stories.
