I'm sorry I like shows where I know what the fuck is going on.
I guess i should just go back to my emo gundams. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
I don't know too much about Gundam, but what i do know, is that this is pretty hilarious.

"erupting burning" sounds so fucking bad when you say it out loud
 
nah nah nah nah nah nah nah.

it always sounds badass when you raise it every word.

so it's
ERUPTING!
BURNING!
FINGEEEEER!!!!!

I'm too terrified to watch it in fear of going ape nuts

i like how japanese fans react to tomino's statements with a laugh and a "glad he's still healthy enough for his normal schtick" and western fans get all defensive and mad about it. the article even jokes about it.

y'all take your toy-selling cartoons too seriously here.
 
I'm mostly messing around. :P my beef ain't with Tomino at all. he can do what he wants and I'm glad that he can.

now his fans on the other hand, I've seen less annoying circle jerks on reddit, I tell ya hwhat.
 
Watchmojo made a top 10 gundam. SEED was on it somewhere, I think. I dunno, all I remember is bleaching my eyes...Watchmojo isn't very good at actually making lists over super specific things without it feeling uninformed and lazy.

they picked the Wing Gundam and described it with details of both the Wing 01 Gundam and Wing 0.
which are 2 different gundams entirely.

and yes, jesus yamato's gundam was there too.

I mean, they had some surprising picks, but for weaponry purposes only, like, the Turn X.
 
This is why I don't into top 10 lists. Gundam is too big to ever make one anyone will reasonably agree with. The UC guys will fuss about CE stuff, the CE guys will fuss about UC, the AU crowd will disregard everyone not them. It just never ends well.

and the problem is that they only picked Gundams.
some of the best mechs in Gundam are just normal Mobile Suits.

like the Tallgeese.
 
I mean, I like top 10 lists that are done by guys like The Autarch, Rabbidluigi, Quarter Guy. They got Soul. Watchmojo don't got soul. It doesn't feel personal, just like a list of an onlooker without any personal attachment to what he's talking about.
 
did they at least mention how the Moonlight Butterfly beats everything
that's kind of an important aspect of the design

Turn A was like number 9.
not even in the top 5.
and no, it wasn't mentioned.
it did mention the hammer-space in it's chest though.
 
how in a spicy butthole do you mention the turn A and not mention the thing it has that beats everything.
that's just not right.@

did they at least compliment its sexy moustache

they mentioned it.
but they also said some fans think it resembles a beetle.
also the Turn X was number 2.
 
they even titled it "top 10 mobile suits" and said no mobile suits.
like, wtf? just put "top 10 gundams" you cash cow grabbing ass!
 
So, I actually bothered to watch this thing and yeah, they did zero homework on half of them. If you're gonna do something, at least try and do it right. That said, and it just clicked, they only really chose ones from shows we got US dvd releases for. Turn A is kind of the big tell on this since it just finished being released like a month ago.
 
I'll use something that doesn't require so many backpacks.
I'll stick with Unicorn.
the red psycho frame version.
because that one looks the best.
 
It's nice they had the Origin team do the animation for that, it would've felt weird otherwise if they tried to do that with old footage. Also nice: the fact that Ikeda-san still does Char perfectly after 35+ years.
