Mobile Suit Gundam, Episode 1
Gabiluzbad
TWO OF THEM 's plurks rambling about it have given me the motivation to try it again
Gabiluzbad
I'm thinking just like 1-2 episodes a day
Gabiluzbad
slow burn it
Gabiluzbad
I watching like
Gabiluzbad
a third of it, once
Gabiluzbad
watched*
Cold XC
that's a lot of Gundam
Gabiluzbad
man
Gabiluzbad
a lot of other gundam shows start with mobile suits sneaking into a space colony to attack it
Gabiluzbad
I guess they're all copying this one
Rama
Gundam has like maybe 4 distinct plots
TWO OF THEM
i hope it captures you
Gabiluzbad
"What were you planning on wearing today?"
Gabiluzbad
I don't think Amuro was planning on getting dressed
Gabiluzbad
How old is Amuro supposed to be?
Gabiluzbad
I assumed he was nebulously a teenager but he's apparently old enough to drive
Rama
15
Rama
Learner's permit I guess
Cold XC
early drivers license on colonies maybe
Cold XC
vehicle specs are probably pretty tightly controlled
Gabiluzbad
"I hear that their or kids his age fighting as geurilla fighters"
Gabiluzbad
are*
Gabiluzbad
And here's Char
oh i'm scary
my advice is to watch it like it's Speed Racer
oh i'm scary
it's not Speed Racer
oh i'm scary
but like
oh i'm scary
carry no irony in your heart
Gabiluzbad
right
Gabiluzbad
"Classified materials?"
Gabiluzbad
/immediately starts reading
Gabiluzbad
middle of a combat zone
Gabiluzbad
Amuro
Gabiluzbad
Focus
Gabiluzbad
oh that's a WHOLE lot of dead people
Gabiluzbad
including Fraw's mom
Gabiluzbad
Fuck she would have died too if she hadn't tried to run after Amuro
Gabiluzbad
I love that Amuro is just carrying around the fucking manual
Gabiluzbad
Man
Gabiluzbad
After watching stuff like Mazinger
Gabiluzbad
or Voltron
Gabiluzbad
Getter Robo
Gabiluzbad
Watching this must have been wild
Gabiluzbad
god as my witness, that man was broken in half
Gabiluzbad
oh and also you blew a hole in the side of the colony
Gabiluzbad
good job Amuro
Gabiluzbad
Good job you just killed a man
oh i'm scary
he probably won't do that again
Gabiluzbad
most likely
Gabiluzbad
hmmmm
Gabiluzbad
one more
Cold XC
on the heels of stuff like Daimos and Daitarn 3, even before Golion/Voltron
Gabiluzbad
kinda weird that the narrator is speaking japanese but then I hear him say the years as "Double-oh seventy nine"
Gabiluzbad
Almost all the actual soldiers are just dead
Gabiluzbad
Okay the Zeon guys are almost out of ammo
Gabiluzbad
ballsy move, Fraw, wearing a miniskirt in space
Gabiluzbad
Sayla's got a gun
Gabiluzbad
man they had enough parts for 3 more mobile suits
Gabiluzbad
and they've got to blow them up to keep them out of enemy hands
Gabiluzbad
that's a bummer
Gabiluzbad
THREE TIMES FASTER
Gabiluzbad
"A Zaku is not a human" technically true
Gabiluzbad
but
Gabiluzbad
there's a human in there
Gabiluzbad
Char has no weapons that can meaningfully hurt the Gundam
Gabiluzbad
but Amuro has a 0% hit rate
Cold XC
"wtf I can't damage it!"
"wtf I can't hit him!"
Gabiluzbad
Char pulls back because he doesn't realize Amuro is out of ammo
TWO OF THEM
that's still one of the best
TWO OF THEM
bits
TWO OF THEM
of maybe the franchise?
Gabiluzbad
it's a great moment
Gabiluzbad
Bright IMMEDIATELY starts lecturing Amuro for sucking too much
Gabiluzbad
he's giving him a chance to bail before they're all committed
Gabiluzbad
Okay that's enough for now, I think
Rama
Gundam keeps copying the opening to 0079 because that opening is phenomenal
