my ultimate UC gundam sidestory I have in me is as such
Quinneapolis
an OVA following two groups during the One Year War
Quinneapolis
one, a group of Zeon soldiers, developing and transporting a new superweapon to destroy the Federation's Gundam
Quinneapolis
and one, a group of Federation soldiers, trying to sabotage the Zeon superweapon and destroy it before it destroys the Gundam
Quinneapolis
both sides get equal billing as protagonists
Quinneapolis
several characters die dramatic deaths on both sides
Quinneapolis
the Federation fails in their mission, and the superweapon that they all gave their lives to attack or protect reaches its destination
Quinneapolis
and then for the last 2 minutes of the show
Quinneapolis
it switches to 70s grade animation and 4:3 screen ratio
Quinneapolis
and the Gundam fights the superweapon and wins
Gabiluzbad
holy shit
Quinneapolis
and just, moves on
Quinneapolis
none of this meant anything
Gabiluzbad
Amuro stepped in
Gabiluzbad
he handled it
Quinneapolis
it was the B plot
Rama
You Technically Did Better Than The IGLOO Cast
Quinneapolis
the ending is just
Quinneapolis
Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 Creditless ED
surαıng
a story in all the cast believe they are in a decisive tragic war epic and behave accordingly but they are actually all in a minor plot around the Zakrello
Quinneapolis
exactly
Quinneapolis
none of them ever even meet Amuro
Quinneapolis
YES I was thinking of the Zakrello specifically
Quinneapolis
a weapon to surpass metal gear
a weapon to surpass metal gear
surαıng
same mental wavelength
surαıng
it's what immediately came to my mind reading this plurk
surαıng
an unstoppable beast. one of a kind weirdo. the researchers who made it talk it up and fuss over it and caution against test drives and all the soldiers in this OVA put all their effort into big emotional thoughts over it or protecting it or stopping it
surαıng
Amuro totals it in 1 minute and thinks nothing about it lmao
Quinneapolis
no moral
surαıng
'sure would be fucked up to be the B plot in this war, huh'
surαıng
'oh you thought this yet another OYW sidestory w/ obligatory superweapon was gonna come to anything but cynicism? people died. bye'
surαıng
it's the sudden shift to the 70s grade animation and chunky robots at the end that would really sell it to me tho
surαıng
getting meta in a good way
Quinneapolis
just to really drive home
Quinneapolis
what this amounts to
surαıng
zlitch!
surαıng
