WELCOME TO THE GARMA CHIHUAHUA ZONE.
Attached to this tweet you will find a thread of Gundam-related threads I have written and find worth sharing!
(Note for Japanese material: I am a beginner and machine translation is my friend. Don't take it to be fact without re-checking!)
This had all the scene set-up of a "this is not what it looks like" joke, except it subverted this entirely. This IS what it looks like. The scene goes through great pains to not allow for a single other explanation.
It is as bold as it is hilarious.
Phoenix Wright as a character is interesting to me because he doesn't have a tragic backstory, he really just has a tragic story. Until he was 21 his life was pretty okay and since then nothing but absolute horror has happened to him. Help him
The fact that super conservative male GWitch watchers actually love Guel is what really doesn't compute with me
I have hardly ever seen a character so tailor-made to be sexualized by girls online, I truly cannot believe people would look at him and not notice this
Okay you guys weren't kidding when you said 'every Gundam is considered bad until the next one comes along'
The night and day difference between posting about IBO now vs before GWitch aired is kind of astounding
Okay, I wasn't gonna care about the GWitch magazine censorship thing but "Well, we won't say whether or not they're married, please form your own opinions, teehee" about a show in which the characters are actually married is so funny
It IS very funny that two Gundams in a row ended with a politician woman married to another woman managing their home in the countryside. I think we should keep it up. New Gundam-defining trope just dropped.
Why did Go Nagai create literally every genre. (Because he was horny. He did it because he was horny. It's his fetish and we're all just living in it.)
It's significantly worse than he made it sound in his apology. He terrified his lover so badly that she called the police and then took her phone away. That's not a 'one leap of judgement' situation.
Absolutely awful. This should destroy his career, legacy characters be damned.

I like that Guel has become a wife guy. Not even because he loves his fiancรฉe, he's just made to stand at someone's side, and look pretty and supportive
Thinking about how a friend of mine said "I don't know, I think Code Geass isn't really mecha there is so much else going on" and wondering... what do non-mecha people think mecha is... do they think characters are never outside the robot....?
Okay so.
Bandai forgot to give the movie to Belgium.
I'm not kidding. They literally forgot to give them the movie. They got it twenty minutes ago and it takes 5 hours to download.
So it won't air today.
Because they forgot to give them the movie.
Bandai forgot. The movie.
I'm replaying these games and I gotta say "go into law to chase a man->it works" is such an optimistic description of Phoenix's arc... He and Edgeworth certainly have something going on but can you look me in the eyes and call it 'functional'? CAN YOU?
I love what a negative character is. Aiming his gun at the world, dying proclaiming his hatred... He hasn't taken a single step forward since the day of the bombing. He's spent this entire time feeling nothing but resentment for the world and himself. He's been lying for so long.
Gundam SEED Freedom - at last, the mega-thread! ๐งต
Same ground rules as always: if you hate the show or a character in it, I don't need to hear about it. Keep all discussion constructive.
Full spoilers in this entire thread, it assumes the reader has seen the movie already!
How do people develop GunPla backlogs, I feel like every time I have a GunPla box in my home I am like a rabid animal waiting to tear into it with my teeth
It's an underrated aspect of Mikazuki that he's very deeply and consciously aware of their social position as well as willing to and capable of explaining it eloquently to others. He gets flattened down to having no thought outside of following Orga, but that's not really true.
I love that Shaddiq gains self-awareness so early in the story, that is is demonstrates to him beyond a shadow of doubt that his survival strategy has cost him the ability to love in a way that matters, in a way that makes any difference at all
This is the greatest SEED official art there is. Everyone is cute. It has such a vibe of love triangle, when the reality is closer to 'a human weapon and his competing commanders'. It rocks!!
๐งตWHAT THE HELL IS A 'FULL FRONTAL'?๐งต
I do not promise conclusive answers because this is Gundam Unicorn and we're all in hell, but I am about to take you on a /journey/.
Corrections and new evidence appreciated! I will source all information to the best of my ability.
Every once in a while I think about Fukui's masterpiece 'being so homophobic you actually write a fantastic gay love story' again. It will never cease to be funny.
And it is over!! With an astounding 2 471 votes in the finale, of which he got 51% , CHIBODEE CROCKET IS THE KING OF SPACEPURPLES ๐๐๐๐
It's been an exciting race with an unexpected winner, thanks everyone for putting so much enthusiasm into this silly tournament!!
I didn't realize we had the person who did the Utena novels as well as series composition for SK8 and Devilman Crybaby on board. We might be getting actual real Gay Content here. I am losing my mind.
I wasn't expecting "it is massively traumatizing for Flay to force herself to have sex with Kira just because she is convinced that her existence as a sex object and bargaining token is the most power she can exercise in the world" to just be like... the actual text of the show.
Code Geass like "actually the fact that people cannot understand each other is good. the fact that we can lie to each other makes relationships worth having. the fact that we can meet and connect even through these imperfections means more than an idea of guaranteed connection"
The original cut wasn't on model for the art style of the movie but it was also way prettier than the art style of the movie..
All the changes certainly bring more consistency so I see why they were done but oh my god
Can't get over Crunchy having First Gundam, ZZ, no Zeta, and then Char's Counter Attack but hidden as an alternate version of First Gundam. Incredible UC experience.
Ah yes, my favourite alternate way of watching Mobile Suit Gundam (1979): Char's Counter Attack
Hello everyone! I've been working on documenting SEED-related interviews from 2002 until now as best as I can. This fandom is plagued by a lot of hearsay, and I'd love to help foster a more source based discussion culture.
You can find the list here:
I think one thing the Gundam community could stand to learn is not responding to "I like Thing" with "well Thing could be better" or "Thing is great unlike Other Thing That You Didn't Even Mention"
Sometimes a positive tweet can just stand alone as a positive tweet, it's fine
The hardest part of liking Gundam SEED is that liking Gundam SEED is controversial not only with the public at large but also with other Gundam SEED fans.
Another thing that I feel softens the weird vibes of the Turbines harem is that the girls are consistently treated as combat teachers to the main guys and taken entirely serious in that role. There's never a point where the men 'surpass' them and leave them in the dust.
The funniest part of this is that he doesn't look like Charles literally at all whatsoever. He doesn't look like old Charles. He doesn't look like young Charles.
But he does look like Full Frontal (Gundam Unicorn) because THEY STOLE THE WHOLE ASS DUDE.
Getting into Gundam was a mistake because now I can get jumpscared by Char Aznable anywhere
He just exists, people post him on the internet, in contexts where I don't expect him
"Sword and Mirror - a Lacus Clyne Analysis" has been completed with almost exactly 8 000 words counted!
If you want to read an excessively long elaboration on Lacus' character and thematic place in the SEED series, this is your post. Link in the reply, shares appreciated!!
๐งต The Biography of Gilbert Durandal... or 'One Man and His Incredible Hangups Around Blonde People' ๐งต
A thread in which I try to figure out how Durandal's disparate backstory fits together with both itself and with the chronology of the Cosmic Era. Full Freedom spoilers!
Thinking about this again. This is why I feel like 'SEED is misogynist' is, while not necessary wrong, a bit too shallow a take.
You don't often see such a damning condemnation of the way rich families objectify their daughters played out in full focus.
I wasn't expecting "it is massively traumatizing for Flay to force herself to have sex with Kira just because she is convinced that her existence as a sex object and bargaining token is the most power she can exercise in the world" to just be like... the actual text of the show.
Does it count as Working when your man leaves the country for years at a time because he doesn't know how to deal with how you make him feel?! Sometimes he fakes his death!
But that's okay because you also come with a barrel of relationship trauma from your part time ex
People realize that 'sieg' is a real word, right? It's a real world from the real world, using it as a chant has connotations that are instantly recognizable to human beings who have never once in their life heard of Gundam.
This isn't fake people language. We are aware, right?
I also think that it's awesome that this episode complete shifts the meaning of the engagement - Miorine's turned it around from something she is merely passively subjected to into a tool that allows her to exert power and protect Suletta. IT ROCKS.
Everyone sharing their absolutely bizarre Gundam watch orders is proof that we're lying to ourselves when we try it to figure out good entry recommendations. Gundam either comes to you or it doesn't. Nobody gets to control this process
Bringing me down to Earth after all the high points of this Moon Gundam volume, Fukui makes me read all of this
I'm glad he reliably stops me from getting Too into his stories, very kind of him
It's so funny that Char clones usually play the reference straight and then half of the Amuro clones are like... What If He Was Fucked Up And Evil
(Granted the sample size of Amuro Clones is four, which is not a very large sample size.)
