So, the general consensus everywhere is that Zeta is the best Gundam series.

Since this is 4chan, of course we'll probably get people liking SEED Destiny instead.

So /m/, whats the best Gundam?

The original.

0079, Victory, G, and Turn A are all contenders.

Zeta is shit.
>>
>>14577752
Looks like you were proven right.
>>14577976
Victory, G and Turn A is hot garbage.

Turn A, followed by the original and then War in the pocket after that.
>>
Zeta is the best, but hipsters here all say some shit like Turn A. Hell there are people here who like Reconguista.
>>
>>14578168
If your favorite Gundam series isn't G, Wing, X, 0083, F91, Crossbone, Build Fighters, 0080, Victory or the first 13 episodes of SEED Destiny, then you're just ad much of a hipster/newcuck as anyone else.
>>
>>14577752
Zeta is the best.

0079 and Turn A are close followers.

Haven't seen G, looks fun but silly.

ZZ wasn't bad, but isn't better than any of the other Tomino UC shows that I've seen.

Haven't seen G Reco, I bet it's pretty decent, but not the best or the worst either.

F91 is a blast, it has a few odd moments, because of production problems, but is still good.

CCA is a great movie, but has a lot of talking and not enough action for many people (I don't mind).
>>
>>14577752
>So /m/, whats the best Gundam?

0079, no question about it. Zeta is a worthy sequel with higher production values, which is why it's liked more. But the writing is better in 0079, and it is more original.
>>
>>14578058
Fuck off. Turn A is only beat by 0079, and not by much. Like the original Gundam, it's one of those Tomino shows where everything falls into place nicely and what he is trying to convey makes it across to the viewer.
>>
>>14578185
>crossbone
>not a hipster
>>
>>14578204
Everything falls into place except for it being good.

Victory ia my favorite, but I have a hard time calling it the best when it falls short on the antagonist side so hard, which is usually an appeal of Gundam. Duker Iq is kind of like Ramba Ral but otherwise nobody really has the kind of importance or presence or even sympathy that was in the original. Char was cool, Dozle was honorable, and plenty of grunts were sympathetic, but Zanscare is kind of evil on top of evil with some Maria, incompetence and unclear power structure shuffling thrown in. I think it has the best main cast to compensate but those flaws really make me look to Turn A for the best Gundam.
>>
>>14578210
>not liking the Chuck Norrris of Gundams

I didn't particularly like Zeta. None of the characters connected with me, like, at all. I slogged through it out of obligation more than anything. If the Gundam name hadn't been attached, I probably would have dropped it before I got halfway through. I've considered that it may just be that Tomino's style doesn't go over well with me because I felt very similarly about G-Reco, but I genuinely enjoyed 0079, so I don't know.

0079 and G are my two favorites.
>>
>>14578199
> But the writing is better in 0079
It's not, only characters that matter in 0079 are Char and Amuro. Char is MUCH better in Zeta.

Kamille is a much better character than Amuro, he starts brattier but grows much more than Amuro ever did, even when he was an adult. By the end of Zeta Kamille is miles and bounds above him and Char, he already knows the whole war about newtype and oldtype is stupid.

0079 has super robot shit too, so that takes like 2 points out of it because super robot is garbage for a show that tries to be taken seriously.

Not only side characters are better in Zeta but also the bad guys, with the exception of Jerid.

How exactly is this an example of better writing?

>0079 has super robot shit too, so that takes like 2 points out of it because super robot is garbage for a show that tries to be taken seriously.

And Zeta has literal Newtype magic. Are you retarded mate?

>>14578392
>Quattro > Char
In Zeta Char acted like some indifferent autist for the most part. He only became interesting when he showed a speck of emotion after he met Haman or when he met Amuro again. 0079 Char was interesting due to his enigmatic ambitions and ongoing rivalry with Amuro, in Zeta he's just a brick wall for the most part. The line between 'mysterious cool enigma' and 'indifferent autist who doesn't really care about anything' is a thin one.

> CCA doesn't have enough action for most people

I've literally never seen anyone complain that it's problem is a dearth of action. I'm sure there's some people feel that way, but it's not a common issue or the reason most people that do dislike it, dislike it.

>>14577752
Zeta has been scientifically proven to be the best however the current meme is to pretend you hate Zeta and praise ZZ instead.

What the fuck that's like the exact opposite problem CCA had though.

Lol no, /m/ is contrarian as fuck. Anything that's popular with the mainstream is shit.

Turn A and G-Reco are much more popular here. There are even people here, some in this thread, who think Turn A is actually the best.

Somebody explain the appeal of Turn A. I don't think I've ever been more bored. People complain about a lack of action in IBO, but then go on and praise Turn A despite nothing happening action-wise for multiple episodes, and when it does happen it's extremely dull.

Because IBO does nothing with its free time whereas Turn A does.
>>
>>14585919
Turn A has plenty of character episodes.
IBO has plenty of Kudelia episodes.
>>
>>14586270
He smiles in the first OP for Zeta. The smile leaves him by the second opening, however.

>>14585919
As mentioned >>14587682, the issue with IBO is that there are large chunks of nothing. Action can, at least, sort-of justify itself by virtue of being action in an animated toy commercial. The problem is that the downtime is mostly squandered away and basically everything from their first foray into space all the way through the beginning of the Carta arc is a waste of time. The Gusion, while a valuable asset, is not a decent RoI for all the time spent on fluff. Had they just done the Brewers, they could've turned that into a real arc and saved five or six episodes for more substantive combat - the Turbines girls were also not terribly integral to the Tekkadan war effort. They could've been Brewer pilots that signed on after their team lost, or straight-up defectors like Emma in Zeta. What little benefit Teiwaz provided in materials could've been supplied by Choco-Char with ease.
