What is the best series to get someone acclimated to Tomino's...
The 0079 trilogy or the G-Reco pentalogy
how about you stop trying to fit in
Daitarn 3, Xabungle, Victory Gundam, and King Gainer. Had to see L-Gaim in crabsticks with the last three episodes raw so I don't know about that one.
Rip off the band-aid and jump into Dunbine.
Brain Powerd, because it is nonsense from open to close.
While it's not the best intro to UC Gundam but Zeta Gundam was the show of his that made me like his style of dialogue, so I suggest that one.
Honestly just do the UC Gauntlet
Gundam 0079 Movies > Zeta > CCA > ZZ
If you dig it you can go into shows that really suffer/benefit from his writing like
0079 TV > F91 > Victory > Turn A
And if you survive that you can get into the really bizarre shows
G Reco > King Gainer > Brain Powerd
I wouldn't bother with the novels. They're pretty shit
>reccomending watching the compilation movies first
homosexual-sama, I kneel...
Someone who's on the fence on Tominospeak might be persuaded to watch a movie or two, but they're sure as shit not going to complete a 43 episode series. If someone asks for a taste, you don't order the three course meal.
Why not? Unlike a three course meal, he doesn't have to watch all 43 episodes in one sitting. He can just watch a few episodes occasionally at his own pace and drop it if he isn't enjoying it.
>not just enabling newbies but outright defending them
I never understand the problem with Tomino's dialogue. I think it feels natural and it's easy to understand.
That's a bit of the problem characters speak how it would be logical for them to speak not how an anime character normally speaks, you get civilians forced onto the battlefield talking and acting as unprofessional as you'd expect them to and that catches newcomers off guard.
I think this is the detail that people always forget. In most Tomino shows, the protagonists are often civilians or youngsters with very little to no military experience who are suddenly thrust into a huge conflict. Of course they're going to behave and speak in ways that seem irrational or unprofessional for where they are. That doesn't explain why the military and government men are frequently kooky nutjobs, though, other than to push Tomino's "grownups bad!" angle.
>That doesn't explain why the military and government men are frequently kooky nutjobs
Because they often are.
>"grownups bad!"
People always misinterpret this.
sorry i dont spoonfeed newbies
It's a bit slow but going in via pure release order is fine tbh

富野節 (Tomino-bushi)
Director Yoshiyuki Tomino is known for fleshing out the characters in his films. Therefore, the conversations between the characters in the work are not too descriptive or theatrical. It can be said that it speaks in a tone that we use on a daily basis. Due to the setting, I often make him speak phrases and slang that are common sense in the world of work without any explanation.
For this reason, unexpected lines often appear for viewers. This is because the characters are speaking with tension and momentum according to the situation.
Therefore, there are times when the explanation is not enough and the story cannot be understood, but because there are a lot of quotes (also called myths) that are strangely persuasive and remain in the ears of viewers, they are familiar to fans . It came to be called Tomino-bushi .
Since the characters are talking about their emotions and thoughts with the tension of the moment, they are often in a dodgeball state of conversation , which sometimes leaves an impression on the viewer.
In Tomino's work, it can be said that there is almost no work that does not produce what is called a famous line. Tomino's sensibilities have a lot to do with that.

LOL we're off to a great start
The dialogue isn't even that special.... the character's get interrupted in the middle of a sentence, lie, or use prose/analogies/wordplay sometimes. Wow. Stop acting like its some kind of utterly alien concept which requires acclimation.
It's really the lying that gets people. Anime characters almost never lie about anything, or if they do it's with either an evil smirk or panicked stuttering that makes it obvious that they're supposed to be lying. Tomino writes characters who are like real people in that they often aren't honest about the real motivations behind their actions, sometimes for nefarious reasons but more commonly because they're acting on gut feelings and justifying their actions to themselves after the fact. When the characters tell lies or half-truths but don't make it glaringly obvious unless you've watched their actions and inferred that what they're saying isn't really true, people short-circuit and think they're supposed to be being honest because it flies in the face of how they've been trained to interpret dialogue.
Simply watch all of them, in order. His dialogue is rarely that weird, but his shows are always worth watching
I feel like people blow Tomino's dialogue weirdness out of proportion, there are only a handful of weird phrases and most of them are for artistic/emotional value
