Gatchanko!
[GQuuuuuuX | spoilers] I RETURN FROM THE MOVIE.
Gatchanko!
Absolute Cinema/10
Gatchanko!
This was a last minute trip to the theater and no regrets
Gatchanko!
This felt like 3 episodes which I guess is what they're aiming for
Gatchanko!
The first half was a straight up remake of OG Gundam's first episode
Gatchanko!
Even the music is reflecting the original's vibes
Gatchanko!
Quite a few cameos of the original cast
Gatchanko!
No Amuro (yet)
Gatchanko!
Sayla made a VERY split second appearance in the most unexpected moment
Gatchanko!
But yeah, the first half was basically "What if Char took the Gundam AND became the MC?"
Gatchanko!
Lalah is heavily implied to be playing a big role, but it's only speculation right now (thinking)
Gatchanko!
The biggest question right now is where did Char go after the mini Axis Shock event?
Gatchanko!
The second half is completely new material involving the new AU with Amate (Machu), Shuji and Nyaaaan
Gatchanko!
Machu is a really fun protag so far... She's the opposite of Suletta in a lot of ways
Gatchanko!
Suletta was not a bad character, but I think she was way too passive for my tastes and she wasn't even involved in the plot until the last few episodes!!
Gatchanko!
Machu on the other hand, she's really impulsive (dangerously so) and super proactive
Gatchanko!
She reminds me of Kamille which... I don't know if that's a good or bad thing yet
Gatchanko!
And she reminds me of Mikoto from Railgun
Gatchanko!
Nyaaan is hilariously kind of a loser despite how cool she looks
Gatchanko!
I think that makes her more endearing tho'
Gatchanko!
She doesn't really do much asides get jerked around by Machu and everyone, but it's still very early to fully judge her character
Gatchanko!
I guess she's like Miorine, but instead of being gutsy and proactive, she's really quiet and awkward
Gatchanko!
Shuji doesn't not show up until the final act and he's such a creep (affectionate)
Gatchanko!
I love his weird sniffing quirk... Gundam isn't Gundam if characters don't say or do weird shit like that
Gatchanko!
He looks like he's going to be Machu's Manic Pixie Dream Boy/Kaworu figure
Gatchanko!
Another question is how he got Char's Gundam, but we'll have to wait and see
Gatchanko!
Clan Battles are surprisingly intense... In contrast to the Holder Battle in G-Witch that were very beam spamy, the Clan Battles are very balls-to-the-wall physical
Gatchanko!
No over-the-top shounen antics like in G-Gundam either yet
Gatchanko!
Even the rules are like "Just hit the head and win!" No rule says that you can't kill your opponent... Hoooo boy
Gatchanko!
I like how gritty the story feels so far... Machu's section def. feels like the results of a "The Villians Won" story
Gatchanko!
Overall, very excited for what we have in store next
Gatchanko!
It looks like Japan got some extra footage that we won't get, but it sounds like Machu's next opponent is confirmed
Gatchanko!
And oh yeah... I feel like Xaiver is going to be the Guel of this show
Gatchanko!
Pretty boy underdog that you want to root for
Gatchanko!
He could've been the MC of this show, but nah you are not Him
Gatchanko!
Gatchanko!
That is very impressive considering the limited theaters it was released in!!
Gatchanko!
The future is looking very bright for Gundam
