wakka9ca said: UC definetly isnt for everyone, i do think the movie compilation for 079 makes it alot more tolerable for newcomers though. I still need to read origin but i feel like the UC as a whole was in desperate need of a remake and to be done by someone that isnt tomino, ZZ of all things is something that i think deserves a remake the most cause the basic plot out on paper is fantastic as well as the entire 2nd act of the show, if someone got a more competent writer in there to keep the tone from being a bipolar mess and cleaned up the egregious amount of plotholes and loose ends I think it could be a really great series in the end, hell maybe we can kill 2 birds with one stone and actually give CCA the set up it so desperately needed in a ZZ remake then lead to a better CCA.shadowfox254 said: Wouldn't be surprised if most people here in this thread haven't seen either one of them. UC series are harder for first-timers. On the other hand, Gundam the ORIGIN was mindblowingly amazing. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

| Awesome start. |
 |
| It's interesting how this new Gundam series is being compared to A/Z when throughout most of Aldnoah I kept thinking that it lifted way too much from Gundam. And this reminds me that I really need to check out Origin and Unicorn. I am not as diehard a Gundam as some (although I've watched most of UC and liked it but I have a hard time keeping track of all the many, many characters) but I've been curious about Origin. |
 |
| Everything I expected it to be. Really excited to see where this story goes. Also that mech looks amazing! |

| I have never watched a Gundam series but this felt great as a first. The characters were introduced and I really like Mikazuki already. The princess is kinda annoying, but a beauty nonetheless. The action scenes were amazing and the killings were brutal. I really expect a lot from this show, this first episode greatly surprised me so I'll keep watching. I'm eager to know what's going to happen next. |

Lives were lost in most of the fights for that series but due to the series awful execution of balancing serious and comedy it winds up with a worse balance of tone than even ZZ. |

A few seconds in the first episode and eyecatches. I don't see how they replaced the "good old battles". G-Reco had a ton of those. Nah, you're giving him too much credit seeing as he apparently dropped in on ep 2. It's not a valid complaint because it has fuck all to do with the singing(???)/dancing. A valid complaint would be "G-Reco had shit battles with no tension", and even then it's really only valid if you had seen said battles. |

QuattroVaginas said: So then from his point of view the dancing and singing is valid cause there is a bunch of that in episode 1 and 2. I dont think its unfair to compare the first 2 episodes of one series to the first of a new one in the same franchise.

Also I believe G-Reco had far more battles in the first two episodes than singing/dancing. Don't care enough to verify myself, which is why I asked that first question. |

QuattroVaginas said: the first ep didnt have much action though, the 2nd had a decent amount probably as much as this ep but ep 1 really only had the snippet of raraiya falling from the G-self and then a very short anticlimatic battle between bellri and aida thats only about a good minute max. I think your taking the dancing and singing part too literally, he very clearly didnt mean the entire thing turned into love live or some shit, hes clearly making an exaggeration to express the point that G-reco's goofiness(such as the dancing and singing) made him dislike it and that this series is far more in his tune. I dont see anything there overstepping boundries. All he did was compare all he had seen of 1 show (2 episodes) to all he had seen of another (1 episode).

If he wanted to compare first episodes, then he should have done so and not misquote. How are words taken if not literally? He made a trashy quip, so I felt like pointing it out. And I just remembered the first two episodes of G-Reco aired together. I probably considered them one. But that doesn't matter. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| I hope Mika shakes her hand in the next episode. |
| Didn't think that my quote would cause a misunderstanding so let's clear this up. JizzyHitler: You said it, that's all what I meant with that quote. The first episode of G-Reco didn't give me the impression that I'm watching a Gundam. I couldn't focus on anything that was going on, plus the whole dancing thing was so off putting that it ruined all the expectations that I had for this series and I couldn't tolerate it for any longer. |
|
| I was really hesitant with this because of how horrible Reconguista was after 4 epds. This has totally changed my mind, it was a great 1st epd. A million times better than what Reconguista ever thought about being. |

| enjoyed the first episode. I especially liked Nagai's good direction. though it still felt like a rather typical gundam series in the vein of Wing or 00 it also had his sensibility for making character interactions fun and interesting. kinda refreshng if you ask me. of course, the ground battle was also great directed and had rather good mecha animation. there's still this lingering feeling of Okada turning the show into a mindless slaughter of cute boys, but at the moment I am pretty satisfied and looking forward for what the show has up it's sleeve. ah, the newtype magazine revealed the upcoming episode titles and their staff: the staff is looking pretty decent with having the good people of GBF S1 doing the episodes. I am especially interested to see how #3 will fare, since it has storyboards and animation direction by our bro Obari |

| This is already so much better than G-reco. Also, IBO kinda reminds me of Aldnoah with Mars and princess and the somewhat silent protagonist, and I just hope it doesn't end up like Aldnoah. |
| Well that was a phenomenal first episode in my opinion. Looking forward to this. |
| Pretty damn good so far. Looks like this will be much better than Reconguista. I like the characters and the main Gundam looks badass.

Don't know why people keep bringing up Aldnoah. I didn't get that from this at all. Felt more like Gundam Wing or 00 than Aldnoah tbh. |

| I don't understand the aldnoah comparisons either. The only similarities are mars, martian princesses, and child soldiers. Beyond that they have little else in common. |
fst said: I don't understand the aldnoah comparisons either. The only similarities are mars, martian princesses, and child soldiers. Beyond that they have little else in common. Yeah, these guys probably haven't watched any Gundams and/or Aldnoah is the only mecha they've seen. Besides these little similarities, it didn't give out the same vibe at all imo. |

iFourier said: After watching it with subs I can say that this is going to be one of the best animes this year :D By the way, wasn't G-Reco that shitty thing for kids ? maybe you havent seen g-reco, for me it has the true escenc of what gundam used to be in a realistic way |

| Not in an epic proportion but still the hype and the show looks promising unlike the past gundam show's after 00 , Can't wait for the next episode. |

| The last gundam i watched was 00, and my expectation is very high for this new gundam. it was an ok episode, they are still introducing everyone, so i think it will get better. But the one thing i didn't liked was the design of the characters. In that aspect, i prefer gundam 00 design. |

Most of the cast has this ragged look about them, like they have been through battle. Especially that one guy that looks like Guts from Berserk lol. The entire male cast of Gundam 00 was fujoshi bait, not that I'm complaining since the women where 10/10 as well. |

| Wait, Gundam is ripping off Aldnoah.Zero? mind=blown didn't know A.Z aired in the 70's. ThatDarnIrishMan said: So, Gundam is now ripping off Attack on Titan for characters or something? Mikazuki. Mikasa. Both cold, emotionless "super warriors" who easily win everything without breaking a sweat. Both cling to the main heroes and only want to defend them... So, yeah. Found that pretty distracting. The cold/emotionless main character isn't new to Gundam nor is it new to mecha and anime in general. If you think a stereotypical and cliche filled show such as AoT invented these character types you need to stop leaving ridiculous comments until you watch more anime. In Gundam alone there's been Setsuna, Heero, and Char Aznable who a lot of people would consider cold/emotionless characters (or who at least were emotionless during certain phases). Mikazuki is an orphan, who had killed someone when he was a young child (as shown by the flash back scene), and is a soldier in the military. What type of character did you expect? Onizuka? jeeez..... |

| First time watching a Gundam series or mecha in general(I don't consider A/Z as one). Really liking the character designs, esp Mikazuki. Reminds me of characters from Shut Hell. Soundtrack was nice as well. Overall enjoyable episode. Looking forward to more. |

Probably because i'm not a fan of yaoi xD. But i do agree that this new gundam knows how to show that the characters have suffered a lot only using this specific design. |
| Shina ne... Kono mama ja... Konna tokoro ja... OWARI NE... DAROU, MIKA? Dunno how many times I have seen what follows already. That was probably the most intense introduction of a Gundam ever. |

| Beginning not spectacular, but it already expected, since the rumors gave judgments not exciting. The plot has good potential whilst taking up a story seen in the line of Gundam. Drawings and animations in the media, the same for the sets. The character design is not bad, the color design did not like it on certain occasions. I hope soon come also the second episode to better assess the anime. |
