Turn A ending... overall a pretty chaotic series. Music 9/10, characters 9/10, voice acting 9/10, animation 8/10 (some CGI in the middle episodes was unnecessary and poorly done). Story only 7/10 since at the end of the day, it was somewhat hard to follow and get the point of. I liked a lot of the characters and wish I could've seen their relationships better developed and resolved at the end.

I mean, whole thing was a conflict created by two crazy guys (Aprippa and Gym) who on the one hand say lets throw all aggressive people into conflict and on the other that it's everybody's nature so let's just encourage it since I'm so powerful. And then stupid Guin Leinford. If he's so smart, how is he so dumb? A quick peace with the Moonrace would've given him all the tech he wanted, and he was already loved by the Earthrace and would've been the obvious choice for leader, so what more could he want? And so what was the point of his betrayal and alliance with Gym?

Well, overall enjoyable on several levels, but I'd have to give this a 7/10 at best, sorry. Just not tight enough.

Whats the next gundam series your going to watch?
 
I told you Gym was bat:censored: insane. :lol:

The politician(s) were attempting to control Gym as he's pretty one-dimensional, although as they came to find out he's far too witty (for an insane person) to be controlled by anyone but his desire to kick ass (and chew bubblegum?). I'll also assume you now know why when it comes to super mecha match-ups, the Turn A and X are the "go-to" mobile suits.

I'll bet any amount you had no idea why Wing 0 (and a bunch of others I can't remember) popped up? :P

I'm free for like, the next 45 minutes; I wonder if I should do an MSotD this late?
 
Yeah, a bunch of stuff I (kind of) recognized when they played back the Dark History. After War Gundam X is next on my list. I really wanted Turn A to be at least an 8/10, and I think it could have been a 9/10, but the last 5 eps or so just didn't quite wrap it up very well...

You might want check if there's any manga covering the finish. Gundam X is a good choice 👍. Has good op and ed songs. Tifa pwns any other gundam girl. hmm... I need to rethink that.... I put her behind Haman:dopey:.


YES T12 MSOTD !!
 
I can't wrap it up as nicely as I'd like to as I haven't seen Turn A in a while, well, the entire thing anyway, but what I can do is make the whole Dark History thing a bit clearer.

In the official timeline, Seireki (Correct Century) begins where UC ends (approximately U.C. 0225, there or thereabouts), but there's an interregnum of about one-thousand years as CC officially begins in 2225, and during that period the Turn A, I forget exactly what happened, but it activated Moonlight Butterfly and engulfed the entirety of Earth, throughout space, and Jupiter - thus turning any and basically all technology to sand. Hence the rather dystopian nature of the series. With only an estimated 5% of it's power. 5.

Now, while CE/CC takes place in it's own universe, it acts as a waypoint (much like X) to the previous series' (Z, ZZ, Gundam W, X, etc), and it may even encompass 00 and AGE.

...I've probably made things worse. :lol:
 
By the way, T-12... I've officially dropped Gundam Ball Z. I won't take its god-awfulness to be representative of Gundam in general, so I'll definitely give Gundam another shot in the future.

That now means I'll be watching Ergo Proxy, which I've heard good things about. I'll probably wait until I get farther into Clannad After Story and Wolf's Rain before I start digging into it though.

Couldn't make it to the good stuff, huh? :lol:

Can't say that I blame you though as I came close to flipping it off myself, but even though I didn't I was still all :odd: throughout. Especially with Chibodee. Ugh. I 🤬 hate him and his lame ass Gundam. I do ask one thing though: watch this and tell me if, had you found something to hold your interest, this would have been worth the wait.



Correction: I don't know why, but that isn't Super Mode, it's Hyper Mode..aka Super Saiyundam.
 
Yes, Clannad AS, yes even more Wolf's Rain, and yes Ergo Proxy (rather abstract but quite captivating and well animated!)

So you'd agree with this statement:
Wolf's Rain > Clannad AS > Steins;Gate

Is that correct? :sly:

No offense, but... was I supposed to be impressed by that video? 'cause it was pretty lame to me. :P

It's Gundamn, you're not missing much :3

How many times have you not read something I've said as intended? 3 times now? :lol:

I'll reiterate the originally posed statement: "..watch this and tell me if, you had found something to hold your interest, this would have been worth the wait."

You be quiet, or I'll fill your page full of spoilers.

Right... you're asking me if that video woud've been worth the wait. And the answer's a hell no. Thus... no offense if you thought otherwise. :P

Hrmmm..

Wolf's Rain > Steins;Gate > Clannad AS... but that's like

9.5 > 8.8 > 8.5, all pretty good, but Wolf's Rain is special good.:dopey:
 
R U SURE?

So far Clannad AS is better than Steins;Gate, and supposedly it's only gonna get much better as I get farther in...

I keep telling you people I'm not that kind of Gundam weirdo. :mad: :lol:

I don't get offended if you don't like something, unless you use the basis of that one experience to judge the entirety of the meta series as a whole. In which case that's just ignorant and undeniably stupid.

Cheese > Steins;Gate?
 
Well, that's just me, but it's hard to say since they're different. I didn't mind Stein's physics, which you objected to, and besides that SG was pretty well put together and animated I thought. And Clannad AS is awesome, but for me maybe a little too tear-jerky and then woops! just kidding (sorry to spoil, know you're not done yet...) But at any rate Wolf's Rain is a really special anime, better than either in my opinion.

Edit: Wensleydale > SG > American

What kind of cheese? :drool:

But at any rate Wolf's Rain is a really special anime, better than either in my opinion.

Even ignoring my objections to S;G's time travel mechanics, I didn't find the story to be all that remarkable. It was okay, and had a neat ending. But much like the original Clannad, it really kinda failed to make me care about the characters. Okabe and Kurisu were cool, but I could care less about the rest of 'em except for the attractiveness of a few.

When Mayuri got shot, yeah it was shocking. But I didn't really care about the fact that it was Mayuri who got shot. And then her subsequent repeat deaths... yawnfest. Such a cliche, and Steins;Gate isn't even one of the better stories involving that cliche. And then the characters having to undo the D-mails to be able to prevent Mayuri's death... yawnfest part 2. The stuff the characters had to undo... either it was so unbelievable that they'd so easily agree to undoing it (Feyris), or their reaction to having to undo it was silly (Ruka).

Nope, Camembert or something else pretty great, but SG > any regular cheese!:)

I respectfully disagree.

Yummy food > Okay anime

And most cheese is pretty yummy. The only one I'd say is < S;G would be American. :lol:

I need to rewatch that series. All I remember is that the gundams had the most obvious names ; EX Tequila gundam :lol:
 
Cheese versus anime...only in TGAT. :lol: :cheers:

What else are we gonna discuss?

The current state of the anime industry, how it got there, and how things like piracy and Steins;Gate affect it? Pfffffffft... I don't think so. :P
 
That's just what I was thinking! :lol:

But a lot of folks have found S:G to be fairly enjoyable, including me, so just accept it yay-san, you're weird! Unless you give it a 7/10 or better, then you're close enough to normal to be okay.

And you know this.

Parmesan cheese > everything.

WTF... cheese > apples? WUT? :lol:

Cheese + Peach = Cheach. (My Wife and Kids joke)

Oh! I should torment Walter with Gundam Ball Z's weird mecha designs

Like, the Nobel Gundam. Awesome.

7/10. Just barely made it. :D

I found it to be just that: Fairly enjoyable. Not greatly enjoyable, nor totally freakin' amazing. Just fairly enjoyable.
