Easily the best UC installment.
Zeta close behind, followed by Unicorn. The director and writers behind Origin should remake 0079, Zeta and ZZ.

/a/'s not sending their best.
I don't post on Cinemaphile. Mostly /misc/ actually. Gas scene was based, but it makes me wonder why someone would gas a colony before throwing them onto the earth.
That's the thing, the original series is extremely dated. Zeta had plenty of money and effort pumped into it so its still watchable, but its nothing like the giant leap in quality we see in Origin. With remaking the original, the focus should also shift off the toddlers in white base. I understand it was originally made for children, but its doubtful they'll watch this anyways, so lets keep the story centered on more mature characters. To continue this train of thought into what could be considered troll territory, and I apologize if I offend anyone with this opinion, the story focus in a 0079 remake should also be primarily on Zeon forces.
>I also think it would be good if they made "Char's Counterattack The Origin" because the original movie was pretty bad with pacing and left out a lot of important backstory and buildup.
I don't post often on /m/, but I do browse frequently enough to tell this is a troll post. Frick you man. CCA is great, but it does need an additional OVA series (movies are far better than standard anime episodes) to bridge the timeline gap from zeta/ZZ to CCA. That is all we need for strong continuity.
It was great, but on its own it is not as impactful. The buildup in the previous 5 movies is what made it so great. I watched all of Origin with my wife, one movie a night. Its the only Gundam she's actually enjoyed.
I'm not being contrarian. If anything, this board is contrarian for the sake of fitting in and impressing other anonymous posters, which is ridiculous. I put off watching origin after this board shit on it and talked it down. I honestly believed you morons that it was just high school aged char and amuro getting into hijinks in grade school.
>Mostly /misc/ actually.
Oh, for the love of...
I'm sorry I even mentioned it, I was just being honest, I just wanted to talk about Origin and UC.
Can you elaborate on that? The quality is higher than Unicorn, in writing and animation. I understand the 3DCG isn't popular, but the precedent was already set in CCA, so the writing was on the wall long before.
>Can you elaborate on that?
nta, but i can explain.
People who are long-time fans of the original series and people who are not see Origin differently. Viewed solely on its own merit, Origin is not a terrible story. That's not to say it's particularly well written, but it's not awful. The problems most long-time fans have with it are tonal differences (there wan NO slapstick comedy in the original), conspicuously convenient coincidences (all the kids from the original series already knowing each other), characters whose personalities are drastically different (Kai Shiden) and changes to the existing continuity that really had no reason to happen. Some of those changes from the Origin manga were actually undone by the Origin anime but still don't really make sense. For instance, in the original story the Project V mobile suits were three shiny new prototypes that were the Federation's first mobile suits. Origin manga has the Guntank exist over a decade earlier and the origin anime just gave it a lower model number and handwaves it as "just a big tank, technically not a mobile suit". Then the early-type GMs show up prior to Project V and the Origin anime again handwaves them as "well these aren't *true* mobile suits because they failed they failed their mission" despite them being mobile suits in every measurable way. To a lesser degree, the development history of the Zaku is completely changed. Sure, those changes don't contradict anything shown or stated in the original series but while they don't mess up anything in animated canon they don't add anything either. It was just a completely pointless change. The worst offense, in my opinion, is self-admitted-coward Kai Shiden inexplicably being a loose cannon delinquent who would steal a construction vehicle and break into a classified military facility that none of them were aware of in the first episode of the original series.
Also Tem buying the Haro for Amuro instead of Amuro building it.
>(there wan NO slapstick comedy in the original),
Remember that time Bright hit Amuro and Amuro slid backwards across a parking lot into a wall and a concrete curb broke where his heels went through them?
Yeah, me neither.

Hand drawn sakuga animation always looks better than CGI no matter what

No frick you, CCA has glaring issues with pacing and only herd mentality morons will parrot that it's good.
What issues with pacing? Besides the spontaneous intro and being thrown right into the fray of an ongoing event, its paced pretty well all things considered. Weak points in CCA are the scenes with Quess, and the limited screentime for the Char/Amuro grudge match.
Not me, I was gone for a bit.
>No frick you, CCA has glaring issues with pacing
>only herd mentality morons will parrot that it's good.
There's plenty of other site echo chambers that will agree with you on the "pacing" of cca. So your "herd mentality morons will parrot" is ironically moot.
>but it makes me wonder why someone would gas a colony before throwing them onto the earth.
Took several days to take the fish to earth. In that time, millions of people could have done something to stop it once they left their lagrange point.
I'm here from Cinemaphile. I came for the sole purpose of complaining about Victory. Frick Victory, frick Uso, frick Shakti, frick panty mask Char, frick moronic Haman, frick all the shotacons, and most of all, frick Tomino. Fricking hack. I have 5 episodes left before I'm finally finished. I should have dropped it in the first 5 but now I'm too far in
That is all
Based. Victory was fricking garbage and only nostalgiagays defend it. However, the final 10 or so episodes were pretty good.
>Shakti goes off to the enemy side for some moronic reason
>Uso is still being a whiny homosexual
>Cronicle is still being moronic
I'm not so sure about that. But tbf I'm so tired of this shit that I'm not exactly looking at it objectively anymore.
>only nostalgiagays
Are you moronic? Who in the west let alone on /m/ was watching V gundam on release? I don't even think the series got a official western release with (good subs) until the late 2000's maybe. I didn't even see it until 2 years ago & loved it.
What was there to love? Not even trying to argue with you, I'm genuinely baffled this receives any praise
Don't bother answering. This anime is a joke. It's as moronic as Cross Ange but not even fun
Finished. 2/10. And for the record, the only anime I've ever given an unironic 1/10 is 'Evil or Live'
Why does v offend you ppl this much?
>I'm genuinely baffled this receives any praise
You are trying to hard. Hating on v used to be more popular, things change & there's no objective consensus on it because /m/ isn't a echo chamber of npc's . You are just getting old.
>You are just getting old.
Pretty sure someone that would really hate V isn't in the 'old' crowd. That's a seed gay or toonomi kid. Though they might be 'old' now too
t. watched 0079 in 82
Anon I don't give a shit about what's popular to hate and what isn't. I hated CCA too and that one is actually popular for some reason. I also liked ZZ and thought Zeta was overrated. I only just started watching UC gundam in the last few months and popped in to vent about victory because it was so pisstaking. I'm just surprised there are people that actually liked this, I can't see anything redeeming about this at all.
It doesn't offend me, it's just shit. I'm mad at myself for not having the sense to drop it early and being too autistic to just let it go instead of finishing it.
>I don't give a shit about what's popular to hate and what isn't.
>I'm genuinely baffled this receives any praise
Than how are "baffled"? V gundam has been shit on by the fandom since the longest time, what "praise" are you talking about?
>I hated CCA too and that one is actually popular for some reason
I see mostly hate or ppl underwhelmed on cca, where is this "actually popular with ppl' are you seeing as well?
Are you speed watching through this franchise? You shouldn't do that.
>frick Tomino. Fricking hack.
I'm biting gently.....
>I came for the sole purpose of complaining about Victory.
based
>frick Tomino. Fricking hack.
cringe
Based. I agree. The old gundam animes are pretty good, but desperately need to be remade to keep up with modern standards.
I also think it would be good if they made "Char's Counterattack The Origin" because the original movie was pretty bad with pacing and left out a lot of important backstory and buildup.
>but desperately need to be remade to keep up with modern standards.
This doesn't sound like /m/ or Cinemaphile speak. Where are (you) from? Anon..
Ignore the charwank and the complaints. While there are some other highlights, the OVAs are worth it for Loum alone. Period. End of story.
It's the one and only time Gundam has portrayed an actual, monumental-scale fleet battle, like the sort you see in Yamato or LoGH.
Being a contrarian doesn't make you an interesting person.
>Writers behind Origin
Please god no. You can remake all of UC in 3DCG if you want just don't let those morons anywhere near it.
Can you just go leave and stay there?
No frick off homosexual. I'll post wherever I want. Cope sneed etc

>In any case, this is a great series and one that is indicative of a master at work. While more episodes are planned and Yasuhiko is even open to remaking the original Mobile Suit Gundam in its entirety, the fact we got to see his take on the story here is definitely worth the price of entry.
The idea has been floated around.
Newer interviews from around the Doan's island movei suggest they have no plans to fully reanimate MSG. At best only more stories skipped by the movie trilogy.
>Easily the best UC installment.
pic unrelated
>director and writers behind Origin should remake 0079, Zeta and ZZ.
kek, Yas has retired. He doesn't have any interest in later two works and already did his part in original trilogy. Even if he wanted a remake, it's not in his hands cause he doesn't have enough say in the franchise to decide that.
Personally I just wish they would animate the entire manga. I'm an old gay original 0079 fan and I would love to see it.
>The director and writers behind Origin should remake 0079
Thats what Origin is .......
That's what the Origin manga is.
More specifically it's one artist (not writer) from the original series retelling 0079. Yes, he was the main character designer and a prominent animator but not one of the main writers. The Origin anime, however, is only the prequel part of Origin and stops before it gets to the events of the original series and therefore not a remake. Yas has even stated in interview that Banrise will not let him remake Tomino's story in animated form. The manga is his to do with what he wants, but they won't let him retcon the original series with his version.
Unfortunate. Origin manga is superior to the original series.
Has tomino ever remade his shows outside of compilation movies? He comes across as a guy who never look back.
Imo rework is mainly about the art. No different then reprinting a book because the font and technology at the time was shit. I'm only saying this because I can't read Japanese and its not like I could read all of Gundam in novel form anyways, or I'd be advocating for that instead.
Victory is fricking good, easily top 3 Gundam anime. maybe because by then I had been used to Tominoism, Victory felt like a breeze to watch from the start to finish.
yeah I know the criticism that the plot only moved because Shaki kept getting kidnapped so the gang went to different places to get her again and again, and Shrike Team being used to further make Uso's mentality going downward spiral.
But other than that it's fricking great especially they way it captured the utter desolation later UC era with the weaponry getting more insane than ever. it dragged a little bit between the middle into the preparation of the final battle but other 4-cour Gundam anime also suffered problems like that. it possibly had the most breathtaking final battle among other Gundam finale, I got chills.
