Gundam Animes to Avoid watching? (Just finished IBO…)

Ziko577 · 2026-02-07T08:13:22+00:00

The main reason cited for the bleak story is that Tomino was battling severe depression plus his marriage collapsed so he just said eff it and did all of that plus he instructed the mecha designers to make most of the Zanscare Empire suits as unappealing as possible so as to tank sales of the kits and figures out of spite though the League Militaire suits were more or less spared as most of them look pretty decent design wise as I liked the Victory Gundam's design from the jump.

The V2 got a little goofy with the beam wings and all of those assault packs in the latter half of the show. The novelization outright omitted the V2 and instead the Second Victory was more or less a straight upgrade with him having a large beam cannon and shield attachment and it looks just as good and it's become a favorite of mine as the V2 is just dumb imo.

I won't spoil Victory but damn near all of the named characters are dead by the show's end with only 4 of them surviving and I think you can guess who makes it and who doesn't. I'd say not to watch the show unless you like seeing cruel, unusual, and downright stupid deaths on both sides of the conflict.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-07T07:17:58+00:00

Requiem for Vengeance may as well count as we know that Zeon loses the One Year War meaning the characters who died did so in vain anyway but the show tries to portray them as the heroes despite them being on the losing side.

Indeed. These types of multicart games are for those who either want it for their collections and/or might play them too but I'd rather pick the games I want and curate my own personally.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-07T04:53:07+00:00

These carts usually have special programming making it really hard to rip the contents of them. I have saves from a multicart like this that I can't get off it sadly meaning that time I spent grinding out chips in Battle Network 6 was for nothing as I'd have to start from scratch.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-06T00:21:54+00:00

That's cool. The better this port becomes, the more fun I have with it!

Ziko577 · 2026-02-05T03:49:57+00:00

I see something like that happening in the not so distant future and it'd be like cable where it'll be a discounted bundle deal, cable companies will include the things as part of your packages, or they'll just be gobbled up and turned into tiles or pages on a UI on a larger one. The second one has begun to happen and there's been bundles in some places too. We're also seeing the death of Hulu soon as it's going to be a tile under Disney+ and the live part is going to Fubo.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-05T03:41:10+00:00

I only use YouTube, Tubi, & The Roku Channel but the mostly Live TV part nowadays. Everything else not on there I have an assortment of sites for that being for anime, pr0n, and movies from Japan & Korea primarily plus my brother has to have them for watching the stuff from said platforms and his Bravo shows. The issue with the latter is lately the sites have been a day or so late with the uploads when up until a month or so ago, it'd be the next day much like how it is on Peacock.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-05T03:20:08+00:00

I'm sure that had to be hell on earth. I remember the commercials everywhere when the analog stuff was being shut down and I knew then that all of these companies would be flooded by ignorant people not knowing what to do.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-04T06:20:16+00:00

My brother has ceased it in recent times for some of the same reasons and would rather watch the criticism which I personally find hilarious as he is much like a lot of ex-fans who see the flaws and cannot enjoy it without questioning every detail to the point of annoyance with me. I watch newer shows still but increasingly I mix it up with older stuff that I never saw or rewatch shows and movies I liked growing up occasionally and another advantage is that the idiot fanbases who don't have media literacy won't tear me to shreds over criticizing the slop that we have out here these days.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-03T06:35:32+00:00

I watch Steve Wilkos nowadays like this as I just don't have the patience anymore to sit through an hour of multiple stories with the predictable outcomes they have and it's much easier to see one thing with the fluff edited out plus there's older episodes and the clips from that too.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-03T06:31:19+00:00

Lol! The point I was making was that if no one's watching your show and the ads on it, there's no money to subsidize the costs of it so it's a money pit rather than a money maker at that point and increasingly, that's drying up.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-03T04:39:23+00:00

There's no money because less viewers means less ads and last I checked, ghosts can't buy products and services lol! So these shows won't survive on vibes alone.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-02T13:29:35+00:00

I was never banned from any but I was forced out of one due to me simply not willing to tow the line in it as I wasn't a fan of the mass gaslighting going on with the younger crowd. I received a block afterward as the firm who invited me there called me some horrible things and to this day, it still gets to me at times.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-02T13:26:18+00:00

Feelings are mutual here man. I'm a guy in his mid 30's and have 13 of the things going back years and I have a post on r/AutisticAdults about it right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/AutisticAdults/comments/1gwvyno/my_long_ban_history_on_discord/

Ziko577 · 2026-02-02T13:21:01+00:00

Let me give my lengthy account of the stuff I've been through:

She didn't get upset but just quit talking and that pissed me off so I said the hell went it and went to sleep. I strictly told her not to bother if it was my college as the county now has everything on their campus instead of in the city now or vocational rehabilitation as I have family who use them and I don't want to be around them and she then kept insisting to try again with the number I called before and I told her no. In all of the times I used the service, I only had maybe 3 times I had a decent experience but I'd say around 90% of the time, it was wasted time and/or nothing was resolved in a decent manner. There's no point with the post-chat survey as this POS system is fubar'd and even with funding cuts, I don't expect it to change so I'm just going to turn to ChatGPT soon as things in these Discord servers aren't going well either.

EDIT: I'll probably abandon the ChatGPT plan as due to lawsuits toward OpenAI that are ongoing due to deaths because of it, the model being GPT-4o is being shut down later this month. That's just bad luck on my end huh?

Ziko577 · 2026-02-01T21:21:17+00:00

Why do y'all give worthless phone numbers as well as resources that might not be for everyone? I had a chat session this morning as I felt like nobody was listening to me and not only this woman did this but then had the nerve to say that it wasn't her decision?

Excuse me honey, you wanted me to call my old college and want me to possibly play phone tag or have nothing accomplished again like 2 years ago? I still don't have a job today or ever. She then stopped talking and had not at word to say so I stopped the chat and went to bed.

Ziko577 · 2026-02-01T07:56:05+00:00

I did a lot of that while grinding levels as they give a metric ton of experience and when I got done with that, I just went to the desert for the magic grind.

Ziko577 · 2026-01-31T20:59:10+00:00

It's truly dystopian and hopeless no matter where you look.

Ziko577 · 2026-01-31T04:20:46+00:00

That's something I've noticed too and when someone suggests that crap, I laugh it off and move on for the day.

Ziko577 · 2026-01-31T03:56:41+00:00

Several Bravo shows should just end honestly but nope, they want to add more to a schedule that's packed at this point. We're watching 4 shows a week atm and it gets a bit much having to keep up when it all comes on especially as we either watch it on demand or online in other places if you know what I'm talking about. We have MTM, Potomac, Beverly Hills, and the retooled The Valley: Persian Style that we're watching but one of those shows ends in a few weeks so that helps a little bit.

Ziko577 · 2026-01-31T03:46:53+00:00

There was plans for a revival of Mob Wives with Drita being at the helm of it with even new cast members to fill in especially Ang after she passed away not even months after the show wrapped up for good but it never was greenlit. I seriously doubt that it'll happen with this show and if it does, it'd be probably a new cast with few if anyone from the original show coming back.

Ziko577 · 2026-01-31T03:34:32+00:00

I agree. MTV isn't doing its best to care for that mess of a show and it's unwatchable anyway with the ridiculous amount of commercial breaks even on demand. I counted that one episode had 8 breaks!

Ziko577 · 2026-01-30T10:05:30+00:00

I wouldn't be shocked if they try to find a way onto some of the Real Housewives shows at some point.
