There are three camps of Earth people, two camps of Moon people. Most of them want the same thing and are willing to fight over it. The others want to prevent war. That's basically it and you're pretty stupid to not realize it.

G-Reco is an intensely convoluted show and confused enough people to where Tomino has repeatedly apologized for it. Moreover, a good chunk of the show's message will be lost on you because unlike the general "war is bad" messages, G-Reco has a "Japan shouldn't remilitarize" message.

The chart is not wrong. The "massive disaster" it refers to is the Black History. The 3 calendars are not mutually exclusive. Correct Century is still in use when Regild starts, but Regild marks the end of UC.

It seems to imply that it went straight from UC to RC. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

I honestly think Greco is going to reach cult classic status years down the line. It's an excellent production no matter how you look at it. I think Tomino's name ultimately backfired on him with Greco, through no fault of his own.
>>
>>15394569
Turn A happens in C.C. 2345, but G-Reco happens only 500 years later in RC 1014. I think Correct Century started with the wars in the Dark History/Moonlight Butterfly, and Regild ("Second Golden Age," if we break it down) was started as humanity began to recover and marked an official end to the Universal Century since humanity had begun to move past its silly wars.

No, you just need to sink to its level. The only reason characters do things that Bellri disagrees with is because they're stupid and the only motivation for villains are selfishness and hotbloodedness. G-Reco is Tomino's strawman argument against Japan rebuilding its military and is essentially a show for young children.

Not sure.

Tomino thinks that travel is rewarding.

Kuntalas figure into the worldbuilding and factors into Masks grudge against Bellri. It represents substantial historic injustice / tensions which in modern society amounts to low level prejudice.

Tomino forgot about the transformation

Aida is putting on a public face most of the time, her grief is internalised

His dad the president who wanted to prolong the war

He had been on a big adventure and wanted to see the world for himself now. Fits in with the theme of doing just that

You didn't understand Mask's character. Mask wanted to avoid the mistreatment of the past but becomes blinded only seeing things as he/his people are oppressed. Same as G-it lab who can't accept people have moved on and grown since then, the once violent earth must still be shitters. Meanwhile we have Noredo who despite her heritage doesn't let it tie her down. Tomino is saying only understanding things from a historical context and not a modern one of your own isn't helpful.

Tomino forgot and it wasn't important

She spends the majority of the first half legitimately hating Bellri yet putting on a face so she can work with him (she even says this). She learns over time to accept him

In the first episode tells him that The world is not square meaning that Bellri had no experience in regards to how the world works if he had to ask why she became a pilot. In the final episode Bellri takes on Aida's suggestion from the first episodeide goes out to travel the world to see for himself.

Earlier in the series Klim realizes that his dad sent him to space with a fleet as a diversion while another Amerian fleet was sent to take the Capital Tower. At the ending Klim sees his dad, "that guy", trying to use Klim's supposed death in the war as a propaganda tool to continue the war and Klim gets pissed so he decides to have the crescent ship crash the party.

Bellri was being strung along by his sister and other people's expectations for most of the show, so I assume he went to run away from it. But it's more of a "beat your head with the theme" moment, since the show espouses that one should see the world with their own eyes. So Tomino's basically spelling it out for the viewers.

All of Mask's rage comes from being a Kuntala and feeling like the world has wronged him and his people. He buys into the story that they were oppressed (and are still being oppressed) and he joined the Capital Army to prove that Kuntala are capable of great things, and it leads him to take sides with Cumpa and the G-IT Labs fellows. He also later hates Bellri after learning Bellri basically comes from nobility (Rayhunton family). Basically the entire Kuntala thing is one of the dangerous narratives that causes unnecessary conflict, just like G-IT labs viewing Earthnoids as violent savages who need to be put in their place.

G-Arcane transforming is just a model feature and Tomino forgot.

Aida remembers it and doesn't forgive Bellri till much later after they've been together and after she nearly killed Bellri's mom by accident. She basically takes advantage of him to fight battles, and they know it, so it's not like she just treats him so innocently the entire time.

That's one way to see it, but it applies to anyone who bases their world view on the past.

Plus Luin isn't 100% wrong, we see a few times that he gets insulted for his race which do come across like guys going "what a nigger" which outside edgy chan culture you just don't do. But at the same time you can examine those moments. When Becker Shadman insults him just after joining the army it is racism but also can be seen as hazing which makes sense as Becker is a cunt to everyone. It captures that tricky middle ground of sometimes veering into hate but mostly just being a cunt type of racism not legitimately seeing them as lower beings.

Luin isn't wrong to object but he does so in the wrong way and ultimately you can see him as someone using racism to justify his own bid for power. He abides the CA racism (despite visually getting angry at it) and use of him as a Guinea Pig cause it gets him power but does everything he can to justify killing Bellri on teh grounds he will subducate Kuntalas. Earlier he also gets called out for sucking up to Bellri cause he is the son of the director.

There is complexity here which is what makes the whole bit work, there are multiple interpretations based on decent evidence that make Luin a very human character.

He realize how much of a scumbag his father is when he tried to use his "death" as an excuse to push Ameria to take arms.

Bellri finally decided to do things for himself instead of following others.

It's really just to illustrate how Mask's perception of the world is different from Bellri despite being raised at the same place.

I didn't even remember it could, I guess everyone else did as well.

This. Greco isn't completely anti war it is just pro thinking it through. Japan hasn't experienced real warfare for a while nevermind large scale modern warfare. Yet they still have the whole NIPPON STRONG going on

The show doesn't demonise war itself but why it is done. Cumpla does it to return humanity to it's glory, Dorette/G-it does it to return to earth and Mask does it because of what happened to the kuntala. Their arguments are all based on the past and have clouded their judgement on is this a good idea and is war the best way to do it.

Meanwhile Klim is power hungry as fuck, war is one way he achieves his goals. The show doesn't demonise him cause he isn't working off some old ideas, just wants power and at times war is the best strategy and sometimes it isn't. Bellri also is trigger happy when pushed but he does it for legit reasons not cause his parents were fucked over so kill everyone. He'd prefer peaceful means though he just realises when that is no longer an option.

Tomino just doesn't want Japan to go all REEEE CHINA next week cause they simply are not prepared and do not understand what it would truly mean.

Their military is already neutered as it is. any more demilitarizing would be just disarming themselves

their howa type 91 rifle is as worthless as the type 64 but in .556 and cost twice as much

their new mbt is just as good as a sherman but with modern computers

even their aircraft carriers are just filled with helicopters. their army is neutered as fuck. even worst korea is better armed than them even if japan is on the top ten army spending(because their equipment costs a lot but performs shit)

And Japan is going to fight 3 armies, China, Best and Worst Corea and Russia.

Tomino is still stuck on the mindset that Japan musnt militarized because of the fear of WWII facism, but he hasn't look outside that the world already changed a lot and Japan is already threading on a very thin ice.
>>
>>15400891
G-Reco's message isn't that remilitarization is bad. The state of the Earth prior to the show happening is displayed to be clearly ludicrous, there's a reason Aida's a protagonist.

The message is that you need to get some actual perspective before you make any decisions. Again, there is a reason Bellri leaves to travel the world at the end.

If you're arguing "given the current world circumstances, Japan should do X" and not "Japan should do X", you are agreeing with Tomino.

Tomino is criticizing the warmongering Abe administration. It's full of right-wing imperialist nutjobs who think WW2 was a holy war. They want Japan to become a dominant military power, it goes far beyond protecting themselves from China and NK.
>>
>>15400891
If it ever got to the point where Japan was warring with China then we'd be heading toward a nuclear war. Japan militarizing isn't gonna solve anything, they already have a Defense Force to defend the country. They don't need a military to do some new imperialist shit
>>
>>15400905
Japan is filled with cucks like Germans that can't accept Nazis happened. Hey war is war.
they always throw a shitfit when he visits Yakushini shrine, which is just a WWII memorial for the dead Jap soldiers but they always shitfit "FUCK ITS IMPERIALISM AGAIN"

Tomino and these crazy fucks believe that the MDT will save Japan when they are attack so there is no point in militarizing.

Abe, aside for the hilarious economic plans, at wants Japan to be self reliant on defending their own country. even if it has to be armed with nukes.

even the fiction Gate, which was a criticism of pre2006 Japan (which doesn't even have a ministry of defense) is seen as jingonistic as fuck by these crazies.

>Plus Luin isn't 100% wrong, we see a few times that he gets insulted for his race which do come across like guys going "what a nigger" which outside edgy chan culture you just don't do. But at the same time you can examine those moments. When Becker Shadman insults him just after joining the army it is racism but also can be seen as hazing which makes sense as Becker is a cunt to everyone. It captures that tricky middle ground of sometimes veering into hate but mostly just being a cunt type of racism not legitimately seeing them as lower beings.
Becker praises Luin...

>use of him as a Guinea Pig
That's just his persecution complex. We know Cumpa and other Venusians identify with the Kuntala. Mask isn't even a guinea pig, he uses high-end limited production suits and the Elf Bullock, which he was piloting when he said he was a guinea pig, was fucking beta tested by Dellensen who's not a Kuntala. Almost all of the injustice Mask perceives is just him being a whiny cunt.

The scene actually has a lot more nuance than that

Whether his first line is racist is up for debate, not exactly a super friendly introduction though so saying it is casual racism at least is fair. Manny is the one who has an issue with it. His punch shows it was as much a distraction, he says it half way through this sentence. Though arguably it is a pretty racist thing to say and he does say that people hate them. Which even if for a new reason is still racism. But he does then follow with praise, the fact he praises doesn't mean he isn't/hasn't been racist but it does show he isn't so blinded that he thinks kuntalas can do no good.

I'm rewatching a bunch of Gundam right now to help me remember why I like these shows, and honestly G-reco is really fun. I don't think it can compete as a serious machismo drama, but it's just pleasant to watch; the mech designs are eye-catching, and the character interactions are all pretty good.

Why was Mask so irrelevant in this show?
>>
>>15404470
In a war between China and Japan, is highly improbable that China would use nukes. Not just is Japan supported by the US, but also the international repercussion of using nukes on Japan would make all the other countries gang up, diplomatically/politically/economically, against China. Heck, even during their 1979 war with then almost friendless vietnam, and the vietnamese are giving China a run for their money, they didnt used nukes.

Future war between China and Japan would probably be a fleet vs fleet action, with each side trying to damage the other naval force so to debilitate their power projection in the East China Sea, while also trying to limit the scale of the conflict. In this scenario, China could also launch conventional raids and bombings in japanese ports and industrial areas within their range, to make the japaneses ponder if the dispute really worth it.

>>
>>15404743
>Why are we looking forward to compilation movie?
Because in the forbes interview Tomino is saying that he's going back to fix things he was unsatified with which is different from the Turn A movies which were cheap recap movies and more like the 0079 which removed a lot of the fat of the TV series, gave us new scenes and a better ending.

>“In regards to Gundam Reconguista in G, there isn't any particular hope and yet there is a hope, in that I wished the Blu-ray release was of the complete work. To explain, we made the TV series but it wasn't perfected in terms of the content. So the fact that the production couldn't stop to include the updated content in the Blu-ray version is something I found extremely frustrating. Even in my position as the originator and producer, I didn't have the power to stop it whereas someone like Mr. Miyazaki is able to do so on his work. I found that really sad. In that sense, that's why I am now working on the movie version but I can't really talk about that yet.


I'm surprised so many people missed this.

No, there's just too much going on at once on a personal level. If you look at it from a political level its very easy to understand.

The truth is the characters have very bombastic designs but incredibly forgettable personalities and the mishmash of the two becomes misdirection for the viewer who then becomes unsure of where they should be focusing their attention.

A lot of Tomino's later work suffers from this problem. Its alleviated in some shows because he chooses to simplify the characters and make them less visually ridiculous while having a clear sense of identity as defined by their actions but the designs in GReco are like having a book lined with shimmering tinsel when really you should be focusing on the pages.

what are the defining traits of a kuntala? as a chocoman i understood the sub-plot and enjoyed it but I couldnt find the common trait to say "oh that guy is a kuntala" and it made it feel kinda meh since it feels like you could just say "im not a kuntala"

People are prone to granfalloonery. When people can get strangely proud and irrational about what sports team they support, imagine how an identity that's been around for millennia, even somehow surviving the end of black history, can affect people's behaviour.

>>15410846
Is more in the lines that there is no way of the viewer differentiate the Kuntala characters betweenthe non Kuntalas ones, but the series characters can. This helps to show how the whole prejudice stuff is pathetic. If there was defining traits for them, like skin or hair color, clothes or any other stuff, the viewer would agree that the division, as well as the prejudice and pride, have a solid base and would not question the validity of the whole thing.

I'm incredibly disappointed that G-Reco lost out because it didn't lay its cards out on the table from the start, while IBO got two seasons because more things explode.

>>15410865
The Kuntala thing makes a lot more sense if you take a look at how East Asian racism works out. A lot of people who share the same features overall manage to differentiate and discriminate against each other with reckless abandon.

But China only wants Japan for one of two reasons:
a) All glory to the Celestial Emperor! Subjugate the dwarf king!
b) Atsugi, Kadena, Yokota, and Misawa are essentially America's 12th-15th and by far largest aircraft carriers.

Just like the end of the Pacific War, a total war with China would be either conventional with Chinese forces seeking to capture production centers and military facilities intact or limited-nuclear with drops over regional cities hoping to force surrender.
>>
>>15413499
And far more explosions, since IBO suits don't blow up just from being destroyed, damaged, or because a Gundam-shaped wind blew past.

>>15413335

Until the second season, when they forgot that and Barbatos gives everything Leo syndrome.
>>
>>15413527
I don't remember that at all. Even the Mobile Armor (which was ON FIRE before the fight with Barbatos ended) didn't explode.

That one merc Gusion scissored to death blew himself up to destroy evidence, but that's the only MS explosion for S2 that comes to mind offhand.

Nah, look at MAs in IBO. It comes up like a huge thing and then people go hey wait why aren't we focusing on this still?

That is what happens when you give a lot of time to an element that ultimately is not vital to have a deep understanding of for teh story or themes. Getting deep into Gondwan politics would not help anything about the show.

Greco tells you as much as you need to know and cuts the fat, a lot of shows do the opposite these days where everything is fat which barely contributes to the narrative.
