So these 3 Gundam TV series are mostly poorly received around here, which is sad because they happen to be the 3 most recent Gundam TV series.

Which is actually the worst out of these 3?
http://www.strawpoll.me/10885076

Yes IBO isn't over, just judge them by their 25~ episode runs.

>>14567911

Oh those 3, TRY. I'd probably put AGE below it though, because it made so many just plain baffling decisions and while the show was mostly boring it was punctuated with some outright stupid and insulting stuff but the more I think about it after viewing the more stupid even a lot of the boring stuff is. And no, that isn't predicated on disliking Kio, whose pacifism wouldn't even make my top 10 lists of things wrong with the show. Nor is it predicated on Flit not genociding the Vagan, which I wouldn't actually want. TRY is boring with no character development despite repeated chance, AGE is boring, stupid and insulting.

And yes I'm aware some people disagree and like it: good for them. I don't discourage them from doing so. It's still my least favorite and worst regardless.

Anyone have a solid opinion on why they believe one of these is actually the worst out of the 3?

Seems like the hate for each is pretty equal so far.
>>
>>14568518
Try: Shits on all the good things GBF did while repeating all the bad ones.
IBO: Boring show all around, except that all the missed worldbuilding makes it worse.
G-Reco: I didn't get it, therefore it is stupid.

> Bias? What's that? Are you giving me Philippino hoovers again?
>>
>>14568518
Personally, I'm baffled that IBO isn't dominating this poll. It's practically, "Nothing Happens: The Series." It feel like they only wrote part of an episode for each episode, and then padded it out with a bunch of nothing. There aren't even gratuitous mobile suit battles, which you'd think would be the easy fallback for when you can't write an entire episode's worth of content, but no. There's nothing.
>>
Fighters Try by a large ass margin.

The other two, whatever. But Try was a sequel to a promising new side franchise and completely dropped the fucking ball.
>>
Can we all agree that the 3 of them are better than AGE and SEED?
>>
>>14568546
>It feel like they only wrote part of an episode for each episode, and then padded it out with a bunch of nothing.

They basically did. A whole bunch of stuff got cut out of the original script like Eugene being a traitor and tekkadan fucking up and getting their members killed pointlessly.
>>
G Reco had great animation,art direction and music compared to the other two.
Build fighters had nice animation but shit choreography, IBO is the vice versa of this and it's choreography is extremely hampered by its animation quality.
I'd still put it a notch over build fighters try for its concept, mecha design and music

>>14568456

that sounds like it could be a cool title for a mecha anime.

>>
G-Reco: Pure Tomino, not to everybody's taste.

Try: A super-generic toy tournament anime full of waifu-bait.

IBO: A show that tries to sell itself on being edgy, but it's only skin-deep. It feels very safe and subdued. Would have been better as a late-night anime so they could actually get away with some shit.

I like Reco and found Try watchable (I agree season 1 was better but I think it is overblown) I get why people hated Try tho. Could not watch IBO. It was boring and ugly, same with Age and the SEED shows for me.

Because G-Reco fags have done their darndest to get on everybody else's nerves.

G-reco is sorta incoherent but it's better than IBO. At least in G-reco things happen. The animation and fight scenes are really well done and choreographed. IBO sure as hell can't claim that.

G-Reco was so boring. There was never any real danger or gravity to what was happening. It was a struggle to even finish it cuz there was just nothing to be interested in following.

Try and IBO I was at least interested in tuning in each week to see what was gonna happen, even if it ended up being disappointing.

Honestly even the original Build Fighters is iffy as hell to me. The fights were amazing and it really makes you want to buy gunpla, but it was the most predictable pile of shit imaginable. You knew how just about every fight was going to go from start to finish right when the brackets were shown. Made me much less invested and kinda pissed off knowing everything that was going to happen.

Frankly outside of the fights being worse, I don't see how Try is so bad in comparison.
>>
>>14570660

I think G-Reco is basically second to Turn-A by virtue of Turn-A being longer and having more room to breathe. They're both excellent proper sci-fi and have broken out of Gundam's rigidity of storytelling.

You left out the gratuitous gunota wank. They omitted it in try and the gunota hated it because "WHY AREN'T THEY SPERGING OVER GUNPLA ITSELF LIKE LAST TIME"

It knew what Gundam was, what gunpla was and why people love them, and made a point to show those things. One of the most poignant scenes is when Ral is showing off a new MS-06J model to Sei and Reiji, who is confused when Ral says it's not for fighting. Ral and Sei enjoy a moment of autism about all the ways to enjoy gundam.

G-Reco felt like a 48-ish series that got cut in half. It started off decently, and I actually rather liked the suits - sure the main gundam was a special-A kind of ugly, but it fit, and the other suits were varying levels of "this has great plamo potential if it catches on enough to get some sweetass ova detail". And the plot, being so far in the future with all that shit in the museums could easily have given us evilly tantalizing glimpses into how things went after unicorn, etc...

But, instead, it starts compacting itself more and more midway, and suddenly the war that should've been building towards for the past 35ish episodes, before what would usually be the final arc, happens and is over in the final two episodes, a good ten early, the end.

Speaking of midway through what the fuck's with the OPs switching to some faggy shit halfway through the season? G-Reco and IBO both pulled that one on us.

>Try
Like the previous show in the franchise, it was pretty much an ad for Gumpla and I hate shows that try to advertise crap to you as strongly as build fighters. I watched the original OVA and deviced that I'd stay far away from these ads disguised as garbage shows

>G-rekt
I can understand why the autists who constantly complain about too much 3D CG in anime would defend this mess, but that doesn't mean that the actual show is any good. The writing is roughly on the same level as that of Ed Wood, i.e you can follow if you pay good attention and pretentious idiots like to act as if anyone who can't be bothered to follow closely enough is retarded.

>IBO
A dumb shonen anime for those who like shonen stuff. Sadly releasing just after G-rekt plenty of the same autists who defended G-rekt attacked this for not trying to be the same kind of supposedly intricate space opera G-rekt tried to be, but failed at it. The main character was also a nice change, not being the usual whiny autist, but more along the lines of Garrod Ran from X.

IBO gave us Hyakuri, Gusion, Grimgerde, and Barbatos and Kimaris if you're into that. I think it's definitely the worst of the three, but if Tryon 3 is enough to carry Try, it's unfair to say IBO didn't have its good designs.

It's like this scene from Mission Hill

https://youtu.be/Su9C1XRttLc?t=4m45s

People have their own ideas about what is good storytelling, pacing, character development, etc and they want the shows they watch to conform to those ideas. Some people believe that a good show will allow the viewer to follow along, while others believe a good show allows the viewer to figure things out for themselves. Some people call exposition lazy while others gush about all this world-building. You get the idea.

G-Reco is a sci-fi anime that doesn't ease it's viewer into the world. It takes off right out of the gate and expects them to be able to keep up. They're supposed to pick up little details about the world, which is different from our own, and the dialogue offers information in a casual sort of way that people can easily overlook. People get lost along the way as a result, and they declare it bad. Simple really.

There was that one review of G-Reco where they talked about how in today's information age, people are losing the ability to figure things out for themselves. That people feel frustrated when things don't instantly make sense to them, so we look online for simple explanations as to what we don't understand. Just a little food for thought, but considering the moral of G-Reco is "figure the world out for yourself rather than just listening to your elders/nation/religion/etc," (or as the tagline put it, "see it with your own eyes") there may be something to what that reviewer had to say.

Plus, people watch anime for enjoyment. If G-Reco doesn't work for them, it doesn't work for them.
>>
IBO is not finished yet, so far it's still much better than G.

G Reco is garbage.

TRY is for kids, and it doed a great job at that. Anyone saying TRY is bad is just a neckbeard.
>>
>>14568937
That same reaction image is always in any thread in which G-Reco is criticized hence it's the same dude.
