On November 27 2011 00:41 Requizen wrote: Just my personal experience, and probably why my view is a bit narrower. The only 3 Gundams I've seen all the way through are Wing (plus Endless Waltz), SEED, and G. I really like that Wing was a political thriller type, it kind of made me think, in some small way, of a Tom Clancy book with giant robots, which can never be a bad thing. I personally like space political dramas, like BSG and Deep Space 9, so that's probably preference. It was serious, deep, and all the characters were pretty great. Some more than others, but there weren't any I hated. The story felt, for all intents and purposes, more realistic, like the characters and events could really take place if we colonize space and have giant robots. Also, it was my first Gundam, so it gets +10 to nostalgia. SEED was... I dunno. It was very good, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching it, but I didn't like it as much as other shows or Gundams. It felt a bit more, I dunno, emo? Blindly idealistic? The story was great, as good or better than Wing's (aside from some plot holes), but the main characters ranged from "I'm gonna change the world!" to "Everything sucks" with very little in between. I wanted to smack Shinn throughout most of it, but maybe that was just an accurate idea of a young person in war, like it was in Evangelion. G was fun. It was really more of a Shounen Gundam than anything else. The story often took a back seat to the action and tournament, so it ended up a bit weaker than the others. The characters were fun, if a bit stereotypical, and the action was top notch. Overall, it's great and fun, but if I'm watching for plot, it's not my first choice. When I first started reading that sentence, I was like "what, that isn't true at all", but then you started talking about Shinn. When you are talking about Gundam SEED, are you including Gundam SEED Destiny? For all intents and purposes they are separate shows, even if one is a sequel. What did you think of SEED by itself, not counting Destiny? | ||

I suspected it, especially since everyone in this show seems to be backstabbing each other, which is awesome. Lancer background was cool and nice to see Waver has his strengths as well. Another solid episode imo. Next episode though: "Rin's Adventure" hmm... could be really cute and out of place or just as serious and some interesting history to Rin. | ||

Also, it was my first Gundam, so it gets +10 to nostalgia. This is possibly the funniest sentence I've read in this thread. Because almost every other gundam has a stronger political storyline. The story of Gundam Wing is a conspiracy theorist's wet dream. THE ILLUMINATI ARE TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD OH MY GOD. That's what it is. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. I just finished a rewatch of the show about 10 hours ago, and I asked myself "Oh God, Why." Aside from the cool suits in the show, the Aries, Virgo, Virgo 2 and Tallgeese, the show doesn't really even have good mecha porn. It's just... It's just so bad. Even G has a better story because it doesn't even take itself seriously. Wing takes itself so seriously, and the biggest thing that annoys me is the god damn gundam pilots. I mean they're possibly the most annoying and weakest main characters of any giant robot show I've ever seen, barring evangelion. And Zechs? fucking terrible char clone. And Trieze is weak too. This show is 49 episodes long and it doesn't explore the backstory of ANY of the characters. NONE OF THEM. None of them grow over the course of the show, none of them have any real kind of explained conviction or reason for their conviction, it's fucking terrible. AND THEY START OUT AND END AS GOD MODE PLOT ARMOR TO THE EXTREME PILOTS. It's so god damn annoying. 00 was better crap than this crap because at least the pilots grew in skill, or were defeated by lesser mobile suits with superior pilots. In this show it's just like DERP I PWNZ U WITH BIGGER STICK. For all of you with Gundam Wing nostalgia, I'm sorry you have nostalgia for a terrible show. | ||

As for the earlier discussion on bakemonogatari had romance, it explored a very narrow aspect of teenage courtship but that's about it, there's hardly any story telling in the romance aspect as a progression. It basically consists of girl A says: you are my bf, boy goes: I guess, Okay... of course, compare it to the average harem it has more romance but that means little given average harem has 0 romance. | ||
