The OYW is old news. Reconguista is where it's at now.

Why is it better?

>>13655903
I ain't got no job, so I can't do my job.

>>13655903
Too expensive and takes up too much room. I read the first two volumes but I hated how they ruined Kai so I stopped.

>>13655903
I opted to buy the original novel over an artbook about a year back, so I hope it's an adequate replacement action.

>>13655939

Well I don't like Gundam so no, I didn't buy it.

You don't have to like Gundam to be here.

>>13655939
>can't tell if poorfag or just horribly shitty taste

Seen the majority of it scanned it's nice but it's just the series with more context. It was good, don't get me wrong, worth buying? For me no. I'm just gonna read it then be done with it more likely than anything.

And it's less of a poorfag issue, and more me being a colossal fucking jew.

I sure did

I did. At least the first 3? 4? 5? volumes I could find. Never found anymore and haven't particularly looked since that was nearly a decade ago now. I quite enjoyed it though, more Kondo is always a good thing to break up the monotony of traditional Gundam designs.

I get a decent stipend from my university so I can handle it, but I'll probably need to be a little frugal for the next month or so.

man i was prompted by /m/ to start buying these and it did not disappoint. Origin is the definitive version of the oyw for me. the bonus chapters in the last volume were pretty neat especially the one with loli hamon, loli kcyilla and teen girhen, dozle and sasro. show tha the zabis, dikuns and rals were once all on the same side.
the whole experience has left me wanting more books to collect but idk what else is good out there.

im always annoyed about how many poorfag neets are on 4chan.

>>13655947
fuckign snapshitter reco is fucking dead and always willl be dumbshit.
it will never get anymore content, even fucking wing has a better chance of more animated features but Reco NEVER EVER. on OYW UC is a cash cow that has two current animated projects and will continue get more down the road.

>>13655903
no matter how many threads Vertical makes, I won't buy this shit

>>13668086
>One chapter every so often, much slower than the physical release
Yeah no. They should have done this from the start. I wouldn't even bat an eyelash if they charged for it from the start, and would have gladly supported them that way. I don't need the physical copies clogging up my shelf.

Probably will systematically burn the debinded volumes. Putting them into plastic sleeves and into binders would only take up even more space.

>>13659365

Yeah, kind of like as said in one of the essays, it's pretty cool how Yas depicts an internal fall of the base (due to Sayla's actions), at the same time as the external, with the Federation's desperate MS assault plan. It was made much more intense and 'final' in general with stuff like the Fed brass and world leaders watching the battle from Jaburo, Bright and Gihren's speeches, etc.

Yes, now I need more Origin MG models to put with it

Give me that MG Origin Zaku II with the wrist machine guns, Bandai.

Even bookstores in Japan line their books left to right. Trust me, I live here. There is literally no reason to order them R->L except out of some misguided attempt to be an otakufag.

Don't really care how Japan does it either, it's just pleasing to my eyes to see it right to left.

It's a damn shame that Vertical didn't think far enough ahead to have the binders make up an image which would make the order actually matter.

The again they didn't know how well it would sell at first, iirc the first 2 or 3 volumes had lower print runs so they could test the waters.
