If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

I watched this GC out of curiosity and I must say... Sentenal I don't think you're justified in comparing this GC boy to Amuro. Gundam E1 showed that Amuro is smart, resourceful, proactive, and doesn't give a fuck about evacuation orders, hiding in shelters, or military regulations. GC E1 showed that Shu is awkward, cowardly, and reacts first to a strange girl getting arrested in front of him by telling himself "I wanted to touch her."

On another note I finished 08th MS Team and it was quite good. My only criticisms were the spontaneity of Shiro and Aina's romance, and the relative disconnectedness of E12 (which on its own was rather cute.) Both understandable, since the show was not a romance, and was originally 11 episodes. The fights were basically all great, especially the final one against Norris ("This one's an Ace!"). The characters were also effective, and the war situations generally well written.

Amuro was a little bitch for like 25 episodes of Gundam, and then he was a little bitch again when he showed up in Zeta. I mean, Amuro got salty that Bright slapped him, and that he had to fight, stole the Gundam to run around the desert in an Emo adventure, single handedly made the Battle of Odessa even harder for the Federation, and then expected the White Base to welcome him back with open arms? The dude in GC is an Amuro. Amuro invented an character archetype that TONS of anime MC fall into. Even Shinji in Evangelion is based on Amuro.

I still don't see how this is comparable. Amuro definitely has fits in the first part of his first show, but he always manifests it assertively. Insubordination and desertion are stupid, but they take more balls than constant whining and self-pity. In Zeta he refuses to fight for all of 2 or 3 episodes then promptly does some crazy civilian aircraft ram attack shit. And now he's the inspiration for Shinji, who's actually a pussy at all times and essentially has no assertiveness at all?

Refusal to fight should also be separated from being too scared to fight. Amuro's insubordination always involved fighting in ways that disobeyed orders so the only times he could possibly have been scared, and thus a pussy, were his one desertion in 79 and his few episodes of house arrest in Zeta. So somehow Amuro possibly manifesting fear for 5 or so episodes out of a much longer career causes him to be the archetype for impotent, cowardly protagonists? I'm not persuaded. If anything, much of his insubordination in 79 resulted in him being cocky and overconfident in his piloting abilities. Confidence and Shinji don't belong in the same sentence.

And of course there's zero comparison on a first episode basis. Amuro opens his career with 0% bitch, while Shu's only defining features are his weaknesses.

Anyways Shu is definitely archetypical. Everyone has seen the cliches. I have my doubts that they originated with Amuro.

Dude, I can't understand how you can argue this. Amuro invented the type of "unwilling emo teenager thrown into war, who matures over the course of the series". The last part is certainly up in the air since we have only seen episode 1, but it is definitely a safe bet that will happen. There just isn't any arguing that he is the basis for other characters like Shinji, Kira, Banana G, Renton, etc, and now this dude in GC. Yeah, they all have their differences. Thats what makes them different characters. And in Shinji's case, the goal of Eva was to be a "deconstruction", and therefore Amuro got deconstructed. That was Shinji's entire point.

Honestly when talking about mecha archetypes of MCs, its not like he is even close to the other "main" types. He isn't anything like Kabuto Kouji. He isn't anything like Nagare Ryoma. He isn't like Kamille. He isn't like Judau. He isn't like Heero. He isn't like Noriko. Can you honestly say he is more like any of those characters, than he is like Amuro in early 0079?


That's exactly what I see in Amuro.

That's partially why I didn't drop Gundam out of complete hate of Amuro: it's that it was understandable why he was acting like a total panzy.

Newer gundams need more corporal punishment. Like slapping histeric bitches and hitting emo teenagers.

Although I think FFFpeeps are doing a great job with subbing, I had to choose underwater over them :<
Ika is all about the squiddly puns in the phrases and sadly FFFpeeps have only dry text T.T

Although I did prefer the FFFpeeps episode name translations like "Won't you invade?" instead of the "Who's up for a squid-vasion?" =(

That is why Bright is best character in all of Gundam (thus far).

I need to finish it. -.-

I think he was asking for a bit of violence and romance.....not a bit of romance and violence. xD

But Kara no Kyoukai is good, so watch that too anyway.

You might lose some brain cells, but it's mildly amusing in its own way. Minus the fanservice, it's actually not too bad.

you know its not to bad losing those brain cells either since those were the ones that contain memories of ZnT, that having been said it forces me to run through it again quickly to watch season 4.

I watched the first 5 or 6 episodes, the violence is nothing like Kara no Kyoukai. It's like Pokemon violence. Stuff goes boom, but shortage of blood and gore. If anything, it's just an anime featuring an unfortunate tsundere.

Actually asking in this thread for recommendations instead of just looking at the mod note for that list is only going to yield you troll suggestions.

I'm very impressed with Type-Moon, i've always been a fan of Fate series and after watching fate/zero... I have to say... it totally out matched other anime... The quality... It's just too good.... It just make most of the other anime look so cheap... =_=...
