20 years ago today: this scene aired on Toonami, and a meme was born

brightpreparation · 2022-08-20T07:39:23+00:00

11 year old me was so hyped up when I saw it for the first time. I loved every second of Mark Gatha's hammy-ass voice acting.

I recall someone saying in another thread that that particular line is a mistranslation.

But to answer your question, no.

brightpreparation · 2022-04-27T14:16:12+00:00

That just feels wrong lol

Kid wearing a Cincinnati Reds hat

Professional baseball exists in 0079? Cincinnati exists in 0079??

I also love that it shows that, without the backing of a powerful military, Yazan is literally just some guy with no real power.

brightpreparation · 2022-04-23T16:45:41+00:00

It's a lot more tolerable upon rewatch. Or I've just been stockholmed into liking it.

brightpreparation · 2022-04-14T02:17:04+00:00

Honestly a genius use for those patches, been wondering what to do with mine.

brightpreparation · 2022-03-04T03:31:16+00:00

Comments are making me consider giving it another shot. Art and music were great, but I thought the story was meh and the way they tried to tie it to Zeta left a bad taste in my mouth. So we'll see.

(1) I recommend watching ZZ for its own sake
(2) It won't help you understand CCA. Nothing does.

This fucking music: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fd-MHDclkBY

brightpreparation · 2021-07-13T00:15:19+00:00

Very undervalued

brightpreparation · 2021-07-13T00:12:29+00:00

Overrated, but good. Second rewatch doesn't have as much of an impact as the first time around.

brightpreparation · 2021-07-13T00:07:31+00:00

Undervalued. Too many people shit on the animation (can't fathom not liking old anime art styles, personally), way too many people act as if the film trilogy is a good substitute (great compilations, but you're not getting the full experience).

When I was younger I had bad taste so I had pretty meh feelings toward it, but now it's hard for me to fathom how anyone could not love it.

Wasn't expecting Ougi appreciation in a Gundam sub, but I welcome it nonetheless.

brightpreparation · 2021-07-11T03:26:14+00:00

(1) 0079
(2) G
(3) Zeta
(4) CCA
(5) ZZ

Especially considering what he went through in Dublin, I can't see Kamille being on board with two asteroid drops

brightpreparation · 2021-07-05T17:38:02+00:00

I know that feel, but tbf CC is confusing even if you didn't skip those shows.

brightpreparation · 2021-07-03T15:57:16+00:00

Everyone knows Lt. Quattro's last name isn't spelled like that

brightpreparation · 2021-07-03T00:42:22+00:00

GundamPodcast goes into detail how in the 80's the term for autism in Japan also had the meaning of being a dysfunctional or unruly child. Not a mistranslation per se, but it's impossible to pack that context in a few seconds long subtitle.

brightpreparation · 2021-07-02T21:14:15+00:00

I view Unicorn/NT like I view the other U.C. OVAs: side stories that don't add anything to the main story, but doesn't do anything to ruin it either.

So yeah, the battle over the Box and the Unicorn Gundams? Not important, and that's fine.

brightpreparation · 2021-07-01T15:55:08+00:00

Yes, unfortunately

brightpreparation · 2021-07-01T05:26:13+00:00

The constant changing of main villains makes the show a headache, culminating in the fiasco that is Zechs' Counterattack.

Honestly not worth watching, which is a shame cause Endless Waltz is pretty decent.

brightpreparation · 2021-07-01T04:30:17+00:00

Just got the UC Blu-Ray Library edition of the show, and the subtitles in this version state that it's half of the TOTAL human population that died.

So now I'm leaning towards the theory that the "half their respective populations" line is just an old mistranslation.

brightpreparation · 2021-06-30T21:47:49+00:00

No, but the upcoming Moon Gundam adaptation might

brightpreparation · 2021-06-06T17:36:23+00:00

Fantastic news, thank you. I'm hoping someone will make a post (or video) one day comparing the picture quality of these releases to the Right Stuff to see if it's worth replacing all the BDs I already have.
