I know that either newtype eugenics politics or plastic crap: the show makes Bandai the big bucks, but , fuck, the little human stories Gundam has managed to tell really make me feel something. 0080 really encapsulates the main themes of the series; dying in senseless wars isn't glorious, most adults can't be trusted to make compassionate or even smart choices, power exists to use up the young and destroy them, growing up is its own kind of death, and that we're rushing headlong into destruction and there's very little we can do about it.
Is it wrong to cry over a fake robot show?
The best Gundams are the high-concept AU's and the UC side stories.
Ain't wrong to cry over stories exploring the human condition. Especially if those stories have giant robots.
Do you mean as in a good way to get into Gundam? I haven’t finished the series, but it’s a self-contained story that kind of works around the main Gundam story of that timeline.
I’m new to Gundam and just started watching a month ago, but I think Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin would be a good place to start, and then watch the original Mobile Suit Gundam show from 1979 if you can tolerate 79 anime.
I’m on episode 2 and started to get a little bored. I’m going to try to stick with it instead of moving on!
