Sigh... you kids are still arguing over this? Get over it, regardless of it having Gundam in the title or not I don't want to watch little kids playing with toys okay? pretty simple. I don't care how awesome you think it is, I don't and I don't need to watch it to know I'm not going to like it. Sorry if I'm misjudging your beloved show but from the videos I've seen and the synopsis I read I don't think I'll like it, what more do you want me to do? just watch it so you can shut up? Nah.

BigFan you still owe me some rants, though maybe I missed them between all this bickering lol. Also I love how you seem to be the only one with decent reading comprehension lol, saw what you said and was like mhm yep exactly what I meant but I guess people are mad and see what they want to see .

Who cares if you like it or not? You were making general statements out of your ass without knowing a thing and that was what they took an issue with. You are free to make dumb statements, but it will offend some people's sensibilities enough to post back.

As for me, what I was irked about was your inability to understand that gunpla is essentially a separate culture from gundam. So whatever you might consider to be gundam or not has nothing to do with the show to begin with. Maybe instead of making general statements you could have been specific about what you find wrong and it'd sound far less offensive. But what am I to expect from someone who can't even get names right in a show that he ranted thousands of words on?

On a different subject, since I won't be arguing over gundams any more.

Watched a couple of episodes of Lupin the Third - Mine Fujiko to Iu Onna last night and loved it, it was like a funnier cowboy bebop with boobs . Except the boobs weren't tacky or made me think they were being horny idiots for putting them there, the female character is quite awesome, reminds me of Faye Valentine a little. Really makes me want to watch the Lupin series(Which I've never seen before) but I read it's quite different from this series with this girl? I'll check em out later after I'm done with this one. Even if the tone is less serious like it is here sometimes, I should still like it since Lupin is quite funny.

Lupin and the Fujiko spinoff are pretty different, They don't really do that style of female much anymore tbh, maybe go watch stuff like Cat's Eye.


Yes I figured this spinoff was quite different, based on what I read on wikipedia. I really like this character, she's really fun to watch being all womanly and totally taking advantage of everyone while also being quite dangerous. I'll give Cat's Eye a look. Tell me what's the "vibe" of the other Lupin shows? like is it more comedy than anything?.

Look, I have no issue with people collecting or painting gundam models ( I didn't even know you could paint them, thought they only came like "already made" stuff) but it makes sense, no different from like model planes or trains etc. I have no issue with that if you thought I did. I just don't like a show that treats that stuff like pokemon and then stamps the gundam logo on it for popularity's sake. It sort of reminds me of that AWFUL iOS game Squareenix put out (All the bravest) about FF that was just swiping the screen and random shit happened lol. Not saying gundam builder is AWFUL (It's not my type of show so I can't say it's bad or otherwise) but the idea which is what matters here IS awful TO ME. It depends on the content whether video game or anime if I will consume and use my time on it or not, I looked into it and I didn't think this show was for me and yes it does annoy me the Gundam brand is being used for a pokemon like show (this last point is something me and my friends all agree on).

Lupin swings between serious-ish and comedy, imo more on the latter. Femme Fatales are fairly uncommon nowadays, idk why they went out of fashion but I just haven't seen much in the ways of those for a while.

Specify what you were saying rather than toss out a general statement on a pedestal like gunpla builder is childish and too mature for my 27yo tastes definitely helps. If you don't want people trolling you, making sure what you are saying isn't obviously inflammatory also helps. Now, I don't really consider the show to be a gundam show. It appeals to gundam watchers in that basically all of the people who'd buy gunpla also watch gundam, but it certainly isn't a part of the core of gundam shows. If we were to look at these more fringe uses of gundam, you'd see that it isn't a recent trend. The culture has long grown to encompass things far beyond that of what UC covered and the themes from it.

Now, no one is saying that you should have to like the show, even if most gundam fans are interested for obvious reasons. But complaining in general terms while showing little understanding of what 'Gundam' has evolved to mean in this day and age certainly generates no good will.

Yes the tournament part is obvious to me, I wasn't confused about that lol. It obviously isn't very pokemon-y but that sounds funnier . It seems to me more like Digimon when the kids started to fusion with the digimons no?, I mean they sit in a cockpit that simulates through a computer their gundam right? That digimon comparison is the only thing I could think of since I never seen a show that does this exactly the same. I get that they build their own with parts and stuff and all that has different stats etc etc so it affects the computer simulation, am I correct? It sounds fine for that type of show I suppose.

Basically. on /m/ we like to joke its Gundam + Beyblade.
But the real fun of watching the show is the excellent fight animation and the constant callbacks. Hell. Ral is a major character

Well then it sounds like the other Lupin shows are pretty good, I'll definitely watch them. I talked about it with a friend and he wouldn't shut up about how awesome Lupin's sideburns were.. so he wasn't very helpful. Thanks for telling me more about the show.

To be honest I don't know it has anything to do with my age specifically, but me and my friends who are around my age HAVE seen that we are interested in less and less animes in the last few years. I don't know if we changed or the animes changed or maybe both, but we are increasingly turned off by the stuff that comes out today and we have less and less shows that interest us. My favourite show last season was Silver Spoon, I think very few people watched it and I can see why some might dismiss it for being a show about farming and think it's boring. It was certainly overshadowed by Titan which is fine, so a lot of people probably missed it. I really looked into your show and I made an effort, I always make an effort to look into stuff before dismissing them even if I do look at shows of the same genre AND season unfavorably if I already watched and disliked another show. I usually watch a handful of shows at the start of the season, some were just plain bad for me, others were okay but didn't hold my interest, others were great but I didn't feel I wanted to make them for them and will watch later and the rest well I stick with for the season.

I never collected anime figures of any show and even less bought stuff to paint, was never something that interested me probably too busy spending a fortune on Magic cards back when I was REALLY into Gundam . I can appreciate how they are both separate entities but since I was never into the subculture of gunpla I can't really relate to this show at all, from an outsider looking in, the SHOW (not the subculture) seems kiddy. I think they are trying to make a cool show about it which is fine, I would be more inclined to try it if it was about like people actually collecting/building them etc without the silly fighting and stuff (but that might not be very fun ), that would be a decent introduction to someone like me who doesn't know anything about it but when you add unrealistic elements to it like the fighting, it turns me off.

Lupin is a fine watch, you'll be busy for a while going through it.

The only reason I brought up your age was because you used that as a justification of your so called mature tastes, which is basically just asking to get trolled and laughed at. Similarly, your oversimplified reasoning about dropping shows and not bothering with them got people on your ass. Perhaps you have been dealing with shingeki fans for too long, but your reasoning when not dealing with Toradora was brusque with little in the ways of explanations. Perhaps if you had clarified your position more than saying things like not liking a season's potential for mecha based on one episode of valvrave, the reception would've been far more gentle.

About Gin no Saji, if you were to have actually followed the thread, you'd probably see that Silver Spoon was very well received here and that most frequent posters enjoyed it greatly.

If you could've been like that from the start about Gunpla builders instead of dismissing it in a single sentence, I think you could've saved yourself a lot of trouble. From responding to me anyway, since I don't have any issues with that set of reasoning. Sent would probably argue that if you were actually a gundam fan you'd like it even if it was about that simply because of the amount of references, but that's Sent.

Yes I figured this spinoff was quite different, based on what I read on wikipedia. I really like this character, she's really fun to watch being all womanly and totally taking advantage of everyone while also being quite dangerous. I'll give Cat's Eye a look. Tell me what's the "vibe" of the other Lupin shows? like is it more comedy than anything?.

Look, I have no issue with people collecting or painting gundam models ( I didn't even know you could paint them, thought they only came like "already made" stuff) but it makes sense, no different from like model planes or trains etc. I have no issue with that if you thought I did. I just don't like a show that treats that stuff like pokemon and then stamps the gundam logo on it for popularity's sake. It sort of reminds me of that AWFUL iOS game Squareenix put out (All the bravest) about FF that was just swiping the screen and random shit happened lol. Not saying gundam builder is AWFUL (It's not my type of show so I can't say it's bad or otherwise) but the idea which is what matters here IS awful TO ME. It depends on the content whether video game or anime if I will consume and use my time on it or not, I looked into it and I didn't think this show was for me and yes it does annoy me the Gundam brand is being used for a pokemon like show (this last point is something me and my friends all agree on).

Lupin swings between serious-ish and comedy, imo more on the latter. Femme Fatales are fairly uncommon nowadays, idk why they went out of fashion but I just haven't seen much in the ways of those for a while.

Specify what you were saying rather than toss out a general statement on a pedestal like gunpla builder is childish and too mature for my 27yo tastes definitely helps. If you don't want people trolling you, making sure what you are saying isn't obviously inflammatory also helps. Now, I don't really consider the show to be a gundam show. It appeals to gundam watchers in that basically all of the people who'd buy gunpla also watch gundam, but it certainly isn't a part of the core of gundam shows. If we were to look at these more fringe uses of gundam, you'd see that it isn't a recent trend. The culture has long grown to encompass things far beyond that of what UC covered and the themes from it.

Now, no one is saying that you should have to like the show, even if most gundam fans are interested for obvious reasons. But complaining in general terms while showing little understanding of what 'Gundam' has evolved to mean in this day and age certainly generates no good will.

Not sure how that helps for him, the finer details don't matter at all when he is fixed on a very specific part of gundam.

Well then it sounds like the other Lupin shows are pretty good, I'll definitely watch them. I talked about it with a friend and he wouldn't shut up about how awesome Lupin's sideburns were.. so he wasn't very helpful. Thanks for telling me more about the show.

To be honest I don't know it has anything to do with my age specifically, but me and my friends who are around my age HAVE seen that we are interested in less and less animes in the last few years. I don't know if we changed or the animes changed or maybe both, but we are increasingly turned off by the stuff that comes out today and we have less and less shows that interest us. My favourite show last season was Silver Spoon, I think very few people watched it and I can see why some might dismiss it for being a show about farming and think it's boring. It was certainly overshadowed by Titan which is fine, so a lot of people probably missed it. I really looked into your show and I made an effort, I always make an effort to look into stuff before dismissing them even if I do look at shows of the same genre AND season unfavorably if I already watched and disliked another show. I usually watch a handful of shows at the start of the season, some were just plain bad for me, others were okay but didn't hold my interest, others were great but I didn't feel I wanted to make them for them and will watch later and the rest well I stick with for the season.

I never collected anime figures of any show and even less bought stuff to paint, was never something that interested me probably too busy spending a fortune on Magic cards back when I was REALLY into Gundam . I can appreciate how they are both separate entities but since I was never into the subculture of gunpla I can't really relate to this show at all, from an outsider looking in, the SHOW (not the subculture) seems kiddy. I think they are trying to make a cool show about it which is fine, I would be more inclined to try it if it was about like people actually collecting/building them etc without the silly fighting and stuff (but that might not be very fun ), that would be a decent introduction to someone like me who doesn't know anything about it but when you add unrealistic elements to it like the fighting, it turns me off.

Lupin is a fine watch, you'll be busy for a while going through it.

The only reason I brought up your age was because you used that as a justification of your so called mature tastes, which is basically just asking to get trolled and laughed at. Similarly, your oversimplified reasoning about dropping shows and not bothering with them got people on your ass. Perhaps you have been dealing with shingeki fans for too long, but your reasoning when not dealing with Toradora was brusque with little in the ways of explanations. Perhaps if you had clarified your position more than saying things like not liking a season's potential for mecha based on one episode of valvrave, the reception would've been far more gentle.

About Gin no Saji, if you were to have actually followed the thread, you'd probably see that Silver Spoon was very well received here and that most frequent posters enjoyed it greatly.

If you could've been like that from the start about Gunpla builders instead of dismissing it in a single sentence, I think you could've saved yourself a lot of trouble. From responding to me anyway, since I don't have any issues with that set of reasoning. Sent would probably argue that if you were actually a gundam fan you'd like it even if it was about that simply because of the amount of references, but that's Sent.

Well I think in some ways my age has affected a lot of the choices I make, not just anime. I have less time for leisure activities so I'm very picky about what I watch/do, since I'm always feeling like a slacker when I watch/do "unproductive" stuff but if I watch something that I felt was worthwhile then I won't feel SO bad about it. But that's just me and my issues lol.

To be honest I never thought anyone was going to get MAD because I didn't like their shows, at first I WAS trying to be funny but I guess that isn't well transmitted through text and then they got me upset as well... same way I never seriously called ZNF crazy (never would over that) but of course someone assumed I did. I explained my reasoning now so if anyone is still mad I'll point them in this direction.

Well I don't come to TL AT ALL very often, I come here for Dota 2 and BW stuff from time to time. So I don't check the general forums that much, I'm glad to hear people around here liked Gin no Saji but I was talking about the internet in general didn't seem TOO interested in the show not you guys. Seems to have a small following like Space Brothers. I was only "engaged" in the thread because of BigFan and a couple of other people who were actually interesting to talk to about Tora and a couple of other shows.

I like gundam but I don't watch EVERYTHING gundam related, there are some stuff I haven't gotten to watch yet or just don't want to. I really like Macross as well but I hated Macross 7, I could not take that show seriously and I dropped it. Sure it was a pretty big Macross show but that doesn't guarantee I will like it.

That's an interesting assessment of Natsume Yuujinchou. The show doesn't need carrying - it's good in all aspects.

Taki's best anyway.

ZNF please. Nyanko-sensei is like that super extra on top of an already amazing show. And honestly in that season what "carried" the show wasn't actually him but Natsume himself. Was a real pleasant suprise because I think without that the 4th season wouldn't live up to the first 3 at all.

Personally I haven't thought of the show as anyone "carrying" anything (I marathoned it all anyway so I don't think that much in terms of seasons), as I think both Madara and Natsume himself are great. I also really like Natori. I wish we got to see more Reiko though.

I disagree, but I guess I'm just not as fond as Natsume as you and the other Youkai are.

But the real fun of watching the show is the excellent fight animation and the constant callbacks. Hell. Ral is a major character

Ral appearing was one of the best moments as of yet in thr anime for me especially because he lost so badly lol.

The little fox in season 3 was so cutey too.

I also really like the tidbits with Reiko. They need to make an adaptation mainly focused on her. :3

You're probably just missing something, I think.

You tend to do that.

I don't really care if someone doesn't like a show, assuming said show was given a fair chance. I already said what my problem was. Build Fighters has lots of stuff that should appeal to most Gundam fans, but I'm not going to go around telling people they aren't fans of a franchise because they don't like a particular entry.
