Just watched ep:1 of Thunderbolt

>>13666385
It's Alternate UC.

I personally wasn't all that impressed. The action was fine, but everything else was just "ok".

>YO: I’m humbled [laugh]. I think in that sense Thunderbolt started off in a very fortunate position. Just as the lack of attention given the first Gundam TV series allowed it some freedom, my Gundam series is on a unique platform with Shogakukan’s Superior, so it’s not as tied down. In the beginning, I told them that I wanted to be able to work freely, even if that meant it wasn’t part of the Gundam canon, and they told me I could do what I want. However, that makes it difficult to adapt into anime and Gundam models... I suppose [laugh].
>CS: So it wasn’t that they approached you and said, “Do it at this point in the Universal Century calendar.”

>YO: It’s a bit off from the so-called “correct history,” but I did that on purpose [laugh]. I started off on the sidelines without much attention, which actually allowed some freedom as I wrote and I didn’t have to defend myself, so I decided to change what I wanted, and I think it was good that I could start that way. Being in that position is similar to how it was for the first Gundam, so I’ve been happy with it.

>I went in without reading manga
what was up with glasses boy handing out tissues? is he the main characters friend? also it would appear that main character was in a relationship with the cute captain. also when do the space monks show up?

>>13666447
>I pretend that 'liking something before it was popular' makes me better than others.
Does anon have multiple copies of the manga? Does he furiously read and re-read the manga over and over again on a daily basis? Did the manga come before the TV series? Is anon a faggot?

>>13666475
i bet you read the plot of 0079 on the wiki and skipped straight to cca

The glasses guy, Io, and the female captain are all old friends who lived on Side 4. Io has a cold or allergies

>>13666475
why you mean on Christmas anon? I didn't read the manga and i read that this OVA doesn't follow it 100% and cuts things out. since the video is only 18 minutes I thought lots were cut out.

>>13666483
cool thanks, I figured it was something like that.

>>13666481
Oh yeah well I bet you're a faggot.

And for the record, believe it or not, I have watched 0079 tv 2 times, the movies 6 times, and im currently reading the Origin. 0079 is one of my favorites next to Zeta. And the funny part? I havn't even watched CCA yet, im waiting until I can watch ZZ on bluray.

Well I've spent enough time on /m/ to already know that. Sorry to burst your bubble. Lol

>>13666411
The manga may be alternate uc but the anime they have and will adjust things to make it fit within the Gundam animated universe. Or they can treat it like zeta and the zeta movies and accept both happnened even if there are contradictions.

>>13666385
It's pretty, there's not really much to discuss unless you've already read the manga.

>>13666552
No, please stop. It is its own continuity, end of story. The events of the OYW go differently and entire technologies are changed. I doubt Thunderbolt has psycommu remote weapons at all, as that's not how psycommu works in thunderbolt.

>>13666749
Please find a different series to watch. Gundam is not for you, stop asking them to ruin it with "edgy" or "mature" entries. Recent gundams have barely been goofy at all, and it needs it back, you're not helping.

Id like to enjoy thunderbolt. Please dont make me decide to not do so and shit up the threads because the fanbase is solely edgelords who want Madoka Gundam.

Wouldn't F-91 have been the series McEdgerson would have wanted anyway? It had all the personal conflicts you could have wanted, and they actually made sense as conflicts. Most significantly being Seabook's mothers hypocrisy regarding the use of the F-91 by its pilots ("As long as its not YOUR son, huh?").

You must be blind or just skipped everything except the battle of the week because Zeta was littered with comedy. Particularly in the first half.

>>13666856
Because people often mistake gore with depth.

>>13666867
It's in space and has jazz, that's all it has in similar with Bebop.

>>13666840
Just because there's jazz and its in space doesnt mean it's fucking Bebop. It's like you have no idea what makes Cowboy Bebop what it is other than jazz music.

Is dubbed FLCL, Cromatie, Berserk, Kill La Kill and TTGL your favorite anime?

Bandai wants to sell the toys it made that didn't sell enough so they made a small series for it.

>>13666867
The Zeon guy is super quiet to the point of being kind of withdrawn, and Io is clearly on crack cocaine. I wouldn't call either of them particularly laid back/cool.

You're just reacting to jazz in space.

so whats with the hate for orphans exactly?

>>13666926
I thought that was what Build Fighters was for

>>13666921

Fuck you faget,dubbed cromartie is the shit

>>13666938
Yeah but that's over. They have to keep their brand out. After Bandai bought out Sunrise it's more about toys than ever before.

>>13666937
People dislike IBO because they feel its boring,has too much exposition and the main character is "emotionless".These are probably the same people who complained that G Reco was too confusing and the main character was a weirdo.

>>13666937
It's put together in the most retarded way so the most braindevastated retards can understand what's happening which is actually pretty much nothing and the action sequences absolutely blow.

>>13666518

>>13667092
Source?

It was good but honestly it would be better without the jazz music. It doesn't really have enough energy and drama to be battle music. It feels like I'm waiting in line at JCPennys.

I can't believe there are people saying this was going to be better than IBO. This is terrible. Besides the pretty visuals this was very disappointing.

>>13667109
>It was good but honestly it would be better without the jazz music. It doesn't really have enough energy and drama to be battle music. It feels like I'm waiting in line at JCPennys.

It also feels cheap and forced. The music in the series feels awkward, like a poor executive decision.

its the OYW, you should know whats going on already. the only thing different is the space lightning and cripples, which was obviously a recurring theme that will be explained lately.

>>Shitty forced Jazz and music in space
it justifies the unique soundtrack and integrates the music into the plot without being dumb like Macross.

>>Crappy romance that wasn't needed
that was one of the least romantic scenes ive seen in an anime, borderlining on rape.

>>Snipper gets killed because the pilot went to his blind sport
best way to get to a sniper's position. i doubt MS sensors can pick up on individual humans in minovsky-rich space.

>>Didn't show MC come back to his ship
he made it clear he would be flying back through their blind spots.

>>MC is a power hungry dipshit
MC is arrogant, ambitious, competent at what he does and doesnt take shit from anyone, sorry if that kind of person intimidates you.

>>13667100
Every recent Gundam show except for build fighters has "weight" but IBO's physics are just as awful as build fighters try sometimes, like any time a ship moves in anything other than a straight line and every scene with the Barbatos outside of the duel with Crank.

Cowboy Bebop among other things draws from the french nouvelle vague.
You know, black and white, jazzy, everyone acts pretty detached, people are usually very self focused and carry around a lot of emotional luggage.

I think Thunderbolt wants to do something similar, with both protags being fairly uninterested in their factions and its goals, the whole war being portrayed rather dispassionately and instead choosing to hone in on the duel between these two guys who act very above it all in their own way (It's a bit less noticeable with the cripple, but getting invested in avenging a guy he didn't even like makes it pretty clear that he's more interested in proving that he's better than Whiplash.)

The key problem as far as I can tell, is that there's virtually no down time in the entire episode. It's just GO GO GO. And that makes them both feel kind of flat. I think it would have been great if the episode were like 3 or 4 minutes longer and they would have sunk that into character work.

>>13667100
The ideas are good, the execution isn't.

I always thought /a/ loved Ideon, Zeta, Unicorn and the first half of 00 but hated everything else.

Why are people surprise that their is a lot of negativity with this show?

Yeah not forced or dumb like making countless prototype Gundams to shoehorn into your plot, pick one and mass produce it win the war already.

Regarding the female Captain, is it just me or do the crew not respect her in the least?

>>13667364
>>13667146

define 'forced'.

simply having thing in media is not forced. please let me understand what you mean by it.

>>13667364

>>13667377
The female characters we've met aren't exactly great.
Both seem like the usual fragile, overly emotional and useless butterflies.

Not that Gundam is a great place to look for compelling female characters (unless you're into psycho bitches).

>assuming you're responding to the same person

>>13667627

This list is horrendous. My god.

It's a perfectly fine little diversion. The jazz theme is cool, even if it's not nearly as deep as the show things it is. The action is on about the same level as Unicorn, except it's all grunts. It is edgy as fuck, but not in a Nine Inch Nails sort of way. (Or even a 90's comics sort of way.) There does seem something slightly off about it, it doesn't seem to have any great message behind it like most Gundam does, but it doesn't have a forced message either, which has been a greater problem in recent years.

>>13667319
They typical anime fan only knows about Bebop when it comes to mixing jazz with anime.

>>13666385
It was fucking awesome. It's unfortunate that its only 4 episodes. Pretty much all the cool gundam premises are given no time.

The reaction the Zeon pilots have to the Gundam, priceless. Still those GMs jobbed pretty damn hard

>>13668179
The only intel they had was Zeon had set up snipers in the area, didnt know where. Zeon was dug in with weapon platforms that seemed to have computer aided trajectory in strategically placed positions covering specific routes. They have to be aware of their flight paths and the debris, on top of the lightning from electrical storms. The minosky particles and electrical interference got worse the further in they went, it seemed only contact suit to suit was the only way at one point. yeah the odds werent good, nor was the plan. usually you send sniper after sniper or try to flank the snipers not rush head first. Stealth isnt really a option especially when the one who really fucked up was the pilot who panicked let his main camera get smashed which in turn caused him to collide into what was left of that ship. Now the thing im wondering is if the impact caused the explosion from the speed of the suit, if it got punctured by the debris and hit the reactor or if the reactor was still functioning somehow on the ship and in its wrecked state triggered an explosion?

Do you guys think this is just a test to see what the fans think of this type of gundam series? like a bit of bait in the water to see if anything bites and if it does well make a order for more to the series?

>>13668277
>Do you guys think this is just a test to see what the fans think of this type of gundam series? like a bit of bait in the water to see if anything bites and if it does well make a order for more to the series?
Yeah, since it's UC, I'm certain that the ONA will get enough attention to warrant more episodes. The only thing to keep in mind is whether the manga will end.

I loved it.

I like Jazz but I didn't really feel most of the music.

But damn id be happy if a official and none magazine exclusive ball, guncannon, gm cannon and that dom from this episode would show.

But it does feel more like a test, this quality in a standard anime episodes time frame? yeah I hope that they dont withdraw after this.

Probably some kind of emergency or maintenance latch. Same way Amuro gets into the Gundam on Side 7.

Cornelius the glasses guy probably taught him that trick

I think all mobile suits have shitty locks. (i.e. none at all) And they always seem to have an emergency open button.

Gee I wonder what studio created Cowboy Bebop as well and has a thing for jazz music in it's sci-fi anime.

>>13668419
I've heard that the only safety measures protecting modern day fighter jets are the ones outside the cockpits themselves and that, assuming you could actually get close enough, anyone could turn on the jet and start trying to fly it away as they don't even have ignition keys.

>Amuro had a pube talisman

Except he didn't. Everyone was giving him shit for not having one.

That was sort of the whole point of that scene. A scene that, by the way, came in the third book of the series, as opposed to being Amuro's introduction to the audience.

This is why you never let /m/ do your research for you.

That was pretty damn cool. There were some great scenes, like the GMs/Gundam being equipped in the launch bay, and especially the first person view from the Zaku.

>>13668559

I did like that a good number of the pilots that sortied in GMs actually survived with totaled GMs instead of just exploding because they merely got hit. I always figured that with size, durability, and general ability to function with damage that mobile suits have, actually killing the pilot would take more effort than a mere critical hit.

So they're fighting to take back a wrecked colony with a fuckton of debris that is so numerous that suits need multiple shields to navigate, that also seems to have fucking thunderstorms in it.

I didn't hate it but something was off about it.

Maybe it was the episode length or somethin'.

>>13668800

There wasn't a whole lot of time spend on exposition, building up the world would be my guess. Probably working on the assumption anyone watching already knows the basics, though they didn't drop any info on what the Thunderbolt Sector is, Living Dead Squad, Moore Brotherhood, etc. I'm fine with that, and I would be fine with the episodes being mostly nicely detailed action sequences.

The thick lines made me think of Votoms. Io is like they saw Full Metal Jacket and slammed a few of those characters together. Short and sweet with some nice action. If the rest are as good as this I'll be pleased.

>>13668436
Makes sense. In an emergency, you don't want to make it complicated for mechanics or first aid staff to gain access to the pilot.

>>13668121
Yeah, the only games that does that are the old Side Story games like "Rise from the Ashes" or "Blue Destiny". I'm probably forgetting some others...

Considering I wasn't interested in Reconguista, and Iron-Blooded Orphans looks actually terrible, Thunderbolt was a nice surprise. I really enjoyed it.

I really liked it. Pacing was a bit quick but the Io was a delightful jackhole, the jazz and the lightning set a definite atomosphere, the action and art were both solid, Io and Claudia felt like a genuinely strained relationship, and I'm actually looking forward to the next episode.

Not a 10/10, but probably a good 8/10.

What does it feel like taking a beam saber to the face?

>13666385

I thought it was pretty solid. The animation and art direction are top notch. They did a great job communicating character personalities and relationships in such a short amount of time. Pacing was a little quick, but I guess that's reasonable given that the series is only four, 18 minute episodes. There was quite a bit of grittiness and I generally like when Gundam gets a bit gritty. I love the soundtrack and I love that the soundtrack is important to the characters.

That said, I think they went a little overboard sometimes. The way that they used lighting and shading together could be over the top. The scene between Io and Claudia stands out as an example. Stuff like that takes me out of the episode. There was a lot of tension built up from the opening of the episode, but whenever something goes over the top with MUH GRIT like that it really pulls me out of the episode and I lose my vibe. It really sucked here because I thought that what was going on in that scene was really working otherwise.

Still good though, a solid 8/10. I definitely need to read the manga now, I don't know why I've put it off for so long.

Some people are odd like that though. It's been this way since the 90s. I would put on something like Akira and my mother and brother just see cartoon shit, no different to the Flintstones or Bugs Bunny. Same with the TIE fighter short I did.They live in a strange mindset.

Pixar stuff is totally fine for them though. Yesterday we had Polar Express, Scrooge (Jim Carrey cg version) an a bunch of other CGI festive stuff.

I liked the jazz, I liked the animation, I liked the action.
I can't fucking stand the feddie MC. He's just too "I'm the best". If this whole OVA becomes about Zeon's Wrong Trousers killing him off than I'll have no problem with Thunderbolt.

>>13669463

Yes, perhaps a bit of gross simplification on my part, but at least those examples have depth and cultural resonance to them. In that you could show them to members of your family without subsequently being ridiculed and embarrassed.

It's weird...we watched so many versions of Christmas Carol yesterday and each one has bits from the book that the others don't, and misses out bits that the others include. The Robert Zemeckis CG one actually had some really nice moments and the ghost of Christmas present dying and turning into a laughing skeleton was 2spooky5me. Obviously they had to include a lot of 'zany' action scenes for the ADD kiddies of today, but I reckon the flying house perspective bit was pretty great and innovative:

Insert tank joke here.

It's a basic reflection on how shit is in the real world. If we want to use some numbers - outdated ones, admittedly, but they're still statistics - 203,000 women were in the US armed forces in 2011 out of 1.4 million, and 2.7 percent of enlisted women were in front-line units in places like Afghanistan. Hell, deviating from the matter a bit, you guys had official legislation in place outright barring women from infantry combat until a couple years ago.

There's just less women in armies than there are men, it's a natural thing.

>>13668756

Well I meant does anyone pilot it, but I'm guessing not. Also that seems like plot hole, they gather information about the sniper's positions and rotations from the Rick Dom that's fine. Though shouldn't Zeon I don't know, not use those positions and change up their rotation since they know their information has been comprised?

>>13669951
They probably did change it, but then they just had the luck to face the gundam without their ace sniper on the field.

Maybe because those position are considered hot spots...

Surprisingly, the Psycommu hasn't shown up in the series. The P-Reuse device seems to be an exceedingly crude version that even Oldtypes can use, however. Daryl might be a Newtype, but I doubt that he'll turn out to be one. The mangaka usually explores cybernetics over outright supernatural phenomena.

It's interesting to note that Zeon has a captured Gundam, while the good guys have captured Mobile Armors/Psycommu. I'm personally wondering if there's going to be some kind of 'waifu swap' - i.e. The Feddie protagonist in a Mobile Armor, the Zeon protagonist in some kind of Zaku Gundam.

>Yeah but that's over. They have to keep their brand out. After Bandai bought out Sunrise it's more about toys than ever before.

This misinformation needs to go away. Both Bandai the toy company and Sunrise are part of the larger Holding Group that is Namco Bandai. As such, Sunrise has even more immense power now as the license holder for Gundam because they are in a separate SBU from the Bandai toy company. Bandai has to pay Sunrise licensing and royalty fees for any merchandise.

Do you honestly think Bandai would allow episodes of merchandise to die in the same episode it debuts in if they were actually in control of Sunrise?

They aren't variants, they are what the ms actually look like in thunderbolts setting. The model numbers are even identical to the originals to reflect this. So far there has also been no mention of newtypes from what I've read and psycommu is developed from prosthetic technologies that require a direct interface to function.

So the RX-78 Full Armor Gundam is completely different from the RX-78-1 Full Armor Gundam, its not a repurposed, or variant?

If they've ever shown quarters on a Zeon ship I'm pretty sure it was just a room with a bed in it, ala White Base.

let's just wait for the MG coming out this year to confirm since its manual will have the fictional design lineage

Isn't that all anime when you get to a certain age?
Everything becomes a 'trope'.

>>13671008
It's definitely almost all anime. Not because you "know the tropes" per se but because most of the writing and even the concepts themselves are bad, and as people develop they become more aware of how bad.

It's funny though, the guy you quoted. At age 14 I thought UC was boring, because all I wanted to see was any and all AU shit about 1 invincible guy killing 500 guys at once using beam melee weapons.

I'm 28 now and Thunderbolt is the closest thing to what I could want from a Gundam show. Not to say that it's the epitome of class and good taste or something; ultimately you need to really enjoy mechporn to like it, and liking mechporn is in itself indefensibly kinda weird. It succeeds though in leaving out a lot of the stuff that I just can't stomache anymore, and leaving in a lot of the things that I still enjoy.

>>13671056

Reckon you'll hate it before it ends.

>>13671056
Basically, you fried your brain by watching too much anime and now you just want to shut your brain off and enjoy the nice flashy colors, explosions and edgyness? Christ, Thunderbolt really appeals to the mouthbreathing mentally 10 years old retards with shit taste. Bet you unironically enjoy capeshit and thought Bayformers were great films as well.

>>13671068

you sure are mad someone insulted animu

it's fucking autistic samey shit, that's why it only appeals to nerds and only will ever appeal to nerds

>>13667287

I liked Gundam 00. At least the first season. Crossroad ruined the second season, along with all the shallow romance, "I'm not going to tell my team shit they need to know about until it hurts them first" and those "just kill him already" moments.

>>13671110

>>>/a/

why are you on the wrong board though

>>13671123

>You like something I don't?

>back_to_reddit.jpg

Fucking chill, dude. He likes 00. You don't. No need to be an ass about it.

I really liked it.

I Lo He's not a good guy.. No he's just the main character with decent taste in music for the scenario.

Also I could see this fucking up.. Gundam Unicorn started off strong and we all saw how that turned out.

I didn't say that I don't enjoy the story aspects of Thunderbolt. I do, especially in comparison to the kind of trash I used to like when I was 14. I'm just conceding that ultimately, you do kind of need the love of mechporn for it to work. I wouldn't show this to anybody who doesn't. Is it strange to you that part of the enjoyment of animated art is aesthetic? Do you think all of the other Gundam shows could survive without people having some visual fascination with giant robots and space sci fi shit?

Anyway I don't dislike stuff like Gundam SEED just because it has worse mechporn. The story is inherently more retarded by various details typical to that subsect of Gundam, i.e being about a bunch of high school sophomores piloting robots and manning a space battleship and etc. etc.

There are people my age that have such stunted emotional/social development that they make my weird look normal. These are the people that can still stomach all of the bad writing present in most anime. Perhaps because of legitimate autism they have no idea what even average dialogue looks like. Perhaps because of loneliness, they love shows that help them pretend they have an imaginary girlfriend. Perhaps they can't watch "edgy, grimdark" shows because it reminds them of their depressing lives. Perhaps this person is you, and that's why you're so ass-devastated? Are you so mad because I'm acknowledging that the shit you like is 100% for fucking babbies m8?

You haven't even finished growing chump, I'm sure you'll find your place in the world and develop your own identity when you graduate from high school.

>>13671273
Slutty showing off her ass like that

>>13670314

Why does this even matter, its not like we ever see amuro or anyone outside of the zeong

>>13670351
the ova is 4 eps long only, at around 15 mins each. So no, it's not going to get that far

It astounds me how many people will still carry on about "MUH CORRECT TIMELINE" or correct tech lines and established mythos, holy fuck take a tip from Gundam and let go of that gravity before it weighs you down so much your head will fall into your ass

>>13671355
Unless it somehow gets a big burst of popularity to get an extension like Unicorn did. Anything could happen within the next several months.

>>13671296
That cleavage though.

>>13671273
more pictures of her please

>>13670351
Where does this meme come from? They're only mentioned briefly before the end of the war.

>>13670375
>Release Date 22 April 2015
Is it being distributed anywhere in the US?

>>13671386
Unicorn's extension was because they couldn't fit the entirety of the novel which they had already announced to fully animate within their allotted budget.

This is different from Unicorn because Sunrise will only be animating up to a certain plot point in the manga just like how The Origin adaptation is only animating Char's backstory.

>>13671490
it requires one of the manga publishers like Viz/Vertical to license it

>>13671506
Oh. I suppose that's fair then, since there's no telling when the manga's publication will end anyways.

>>13671490
You could try one of the online bookstores they list in the distribution part, but my guess is few, if any, will allow shipping to North America

>>13671289
For the record, you don't even have the basic reading comprehension to know what my first post was about, nor could you stop yourself from sperging out after misinterpreting it.

You also assumed that I was this guy >>13671194 >>13671104 but I can't blame you. You're clearly in some kind of blind, autismal rage.

Stop projecting, buddy. Why are you trying so hard?

>>13671582
That's really weak 4chan judo desu senpai. You're supposed to tell me that my opinion is a meme, and that I need to go back to tumblr and/or reddit

I read a bit of the manga, so I think I'll just avoid this fucking thing.

>>13671655
Your loss, it's only 15 minutes

Alright /m/autists, tell me this since /a/ seems incapable of holding a gundam thread. How long will it pass before bloody Zekes start using mobile armors that destroy spaceships by themselves, funnels and similar shite?

Also, just finished Stardust Memory today, which left me dissatisfied. I mean, Zekes are so incompetent, it hurts. They threw a goddamn colony on wheat fields? On Federation food? You took out 2/3 of their fleet, you dumb Zekes! Cripple them more. Otherwise you just look like crazy terrorists. Also, Nina is a dumb bitch.

Now that my blog post is over, my question. I go straight to Zeta now, right?

>>13671714
Should have watched Zeta before 0083 in the first place, but sure.
If you don't understand why dropping the colony on their major source of food is much more crippling than taking out their fleet, I doubt you'll understand anything past this point. And 0083 isn't even particularly hard to understand or well written.
Just throw the towel in, and watch some moeshit instead. Maybe that type of show is more your speed.

>>13671714
>chronologicalfag

you fucked up

It's just mechaporn.

>>13671123

I like Gundam 00 and I'm gonna stay on /m/. Deal with it, princess. I'll enjoy discussing mecha with you without you knowing about that fact.

>>13671745

No, I get why they dropped it, I just don't like it. Plus, it backfired, didn't it? What with Titans rising. So, Zeta it is then.

>>13671800

Got a better suggestion?

>>13671876

In the order it was actually made and released.

Alternate UC, as in non canon stuff in UC. like ZZ.

>>13672861
Except even unicorn brings up events and things that happened during zz....
