Where's the new work goddammit?
>b-but I'm 80 now! no more new work!
FRICK OFFFFFFF c**t
WE KNOW YOU'RE WORKING ON SOMETHING
YOUR STUFF IS THE ONLY ANIME I WATCH NOW
EVERYTHING ELSE IS PURE SHITEEEEEEEEEE
HE'S UNTOUCHABLE
Sub please.
I love him.
I wish Tomino was my dad
did he just say that zelensky is a newtype?
Yes
Newtype in Tomino's words is different than the one in Gundam
Yeah but the average gundambabby can't wrap their heads around that
All they think about is gundam gundam gundam gundam gundam gundam gundam gundam gundam gundam
What if new types were just an allegory to the cryptoisraelites all this time?
Would be funny tbh
Japanese are just so detached from world politics that whatever they see is insanely skewed and warped by their culture or just str8 up pure fiction level propaganda
You are not immune to propaganda
'sup Ivan
you have been propagandised. before this war started ukraine was widely regarded as one of the most corrupt states in europe. everyone conveniently forgot that when russia invaded
mal has taste almost as bad as Cinemaphile. they have generic mass produced 0 effort isekai slop with high 8 ratings and as you've seen yourself they have good shows with 6 or even lower
I live in Poland and you're full of shit, Ivan. Last time Ukraine was considered corrupt was when whatshisname was president.
And so's Scirroco. Having psychic powers (which could explain how he hasn't been assassinated already) doesn't preclude one from being the corrupt head of a corrupt state.
No. It's the same line he's said in the past few months about a Newtype sprout. Tomino is not saying that Zelensky is a newtype, but rather that the seeds of a Newtype may be born in the children who see this war.
>but rather that the seeds of a Newtype may be born in the children who see this war.
If the Baltic war didn't do it, this war sure as frick will not.
Wait, Tomino still genuinely believes in that Age of Aquarius bullshit?
Not really. I think he believes humanity can evolve to the point of understanding one another but not the psychotic magic bullshit that comes with it like you see in Zeta or CCA. Part of the reason there’s no newtype stuff in Turn A or G-Reco (or there’s very little compared to other shows) is because he saw it as a failed ideology that he naively dreamt it and thought could be a reality thanks to his hippie-ish ways back in the 70s
i cant believe the oppenheimer movie stole zeta gundams kamille "everyone is dying" scene
Did it? You got a source on that? I didn't watch oppenheimer?
It has been 78 years since the end of the war. How do the two view the war that is still being repeated today?
Takahashi: "When this war (the invasion of Ukraine) broke out, I was thinking about the war, and I had the despairing thought, 'Humanity will never change. Humanity was able to survive the Cold War without nuclear war and without being destroyed. The period of stability lasted for about 30 years. In Japan, it was an era that overlapped with the Heisei era, and from the end of the Heisei era, the world conflicts deepened and a great war broke out. Humanity cannot abandon war."
Mr. Tomino: "It is easy to conclude the near future with despair. When I came to think about things from the anime side, I began to think, 'Hopelessness should never be told to children. You can't just say, 'Humanity is a species that can't forget war.
Mr. Tomino: "We have to have the balance to think about what it means to be allowed to live on the earth, but do politicians think that way? Do they think only about the voters?"
Mr. Tomino said, " People who have been victimized are very vocal about anti-war and anti-war words, and about the fact that they are victims. These words have never reached the top of the government or the military in the history of mankind. We, the peasants, must be reminded of this."
Director Yoshiyuki Tomino has experienced, learned from, and depicted war, and he hopes that future generations will be able to see a world where there is no war.
Mr. Tomino said, "I think that in 20 or 30 years, when a generation is born that understands the seriousness of this case (the invasion of Ukraine) and is able to make concrete decisions, a new form of human governance will be possible. We will stop thinking in terms of extensions of the human race up to the present day. The next wisdom will be born. When we can do that, it will lead to the "Newtype" of Gundam."
Interesting how Tomino is more hopeful.
I wonder if this will reflect in his last 3 works if they do release, all of Tomino's work reflect his mindset at the time after all
Dude’s been hopeful since he finished Turn A.
What's all this nonsense implying Tomino's having hope for the future is a recent development? Did you guys completely misinterpret the endings of his older works?
Tomino was born in 1941. By the time he went to kindergarten, war was already over in Japan. He never experience war or traumatized about it, he lived a priveledged and wealthy life.
Yeah so he missed out on what the guy who wrote Barefoot Gen got as a kid, but that still means Tomino's formative years were spent during the Occupation period. Not exactly what I'd consider privileged times for Japan, unless you were in on that reconstruction hustle.
Anon, war ended on 1945. Sure the post effects remained but it is not like Tomino became a soldier on battlefield or having to eat MRE to survive. He had proper life, proper education and became anime director in the 70s. That's a very splendid life. How's your life, then?
post war japan wasn't fun for their generation, to say the least
>he lived a priveledged and wealthy life.
anon, that's miyazaki.
>>anon, that's miyazaki.
Imagine feeling bad for rich and successful people.
Not him, but i can't disagree with ether of you guys, but otaking liken tomino to being the director that best represents the common man better than miyazaki. I inclined to agree with ota but make of it what what you will,
Tomino threw some hissyfit during Victory Gundam, so would not say he is an everyman willing to what people told him to do. The way he fired Okawara off his shows also shown his tendency to control.
desu, he did say he was ashamed of his old self in his Turn A development book. Tomino evolved a lot between Victory and Turn A.
>Tomino threw some hissyfit during Victory Gundam, so would not say he is an everyman willing to what people told him to do.
Wouldn't Victory reinforce the "does what is told of him", since he complied with his superiors despite them selling out Sunrise. He did exactly what they asked of him by adding wheeled battleships despite how ridiculous they were, and admitted himself that even if he thought the show would fail due to the stupid ideas, he always worked his damndest and never intentionally gave less effort to sabotage it.
Do we know for a fact which ideas were his, the studio staffs', or the executives? Stuffing Victory with a lot of forgettable, unsellable Zanscare designs sounds like something he might do so there wouldn't be much profit in it. IIRC there weren't a lot of kits made for Victory besides the main Gundams.
Having lots of enemy mobile suits is just ordinary, isn't it? I wouldn't think that was something he particularly ordered, since it's up to the toy companies to decide which gets kits. And they can hardly say whether a design is forgettable until after the fact anyway. I'd need to re-read Ishigaki's interview about his experience working on suit designs on Victory, but I don't recall him saying negative about it.
>I wouldn't think that was something he particularly ordered, since it's up to the toy companies to decide which gets kits. And they can hardly say whether a design is forgettable until after the fact anyway.
What I mean is that he intentionally gave them a poor showing in the animation, either they get shot down a lot or don't get to do very much at all onscreen.
He literally quited the franchise for 6 years after Victory and claimed Bandai's acquisition on Sunrise as "Unforgiveable".
Tomino really is amazing.
How do we turn Tomino into a doomer?
He hasn't been one since the late 90s.
Yes, but we need to turn back.
Turn A, King Gainer, and G-reco are unironically his best shows though.
And xabungle for perfect happy tomino
>G-reco
Is this bait? It got a 5.9 on MAL. That’s hilariously bad. Not trying to hate on tomino or anything but I’m not just going to let you slide that in there unnoticed.
>>MAL
Who fricking cares?
12,292 people can’t be wrong. G-reco sucks
Yeah but who cares? Are you an AI that can only consume external data and not making your own judgement?
I haven’t watched it yet dude. But usually from my experience when a bunch of people tell me something is worse than dogshit, it’s best to avoid it.
However I did loved ZZ so there’s exceptions
3.4 million people think Oshi no Ko’s opening is good. Please use what’s left of your brain, moronic anon.
Anime is a medium that disproportionately appeals to midwits. It actually has a serious entry barrier that filters out dumb people - you have to actively look up what to watch, you have to listen to foreign voices while reading subtitles, you have to learn some foreign cultural context to understand what’s going on, etc. And smart people capable of having an opinion don’t usually watch anime.
So, how does being a midwit affect one’s perception of anime? People like fictional stories that are told on their level. Dumb people like dumb anime and dislike smart anime. Smart people like smart anime and dislike dumb anime. Ain't so simple with midwits. Let’s say a person watches something that is blatantly too hard for them to understand. A dumb person - well, they won’t say “I’m too dumb to like this” - but they will say “this is too convoluted/too boring/too many words” and move on. But when a midwit doesn’t understand a show - their ass explodes because they subconsciously consider themselves the smartest person in the universe and the idea of a show above their understanding is absolutely unbearable to their ego. They’ll start to sperg out how this show is actually pretentious garbage that has nothing to “get” as a coping mechanism. Ironically, they will gobble up actual pretentious garbage that puts on airs of being “deep” or “mature” but doesn’t have any challenging substance that their midwit brains will struggle with.
And again, midwits are the absolute majority of people that watch anime, rate anime, and express their opinions on anime. This is how you get primitive garbage like Mushoku Tensei, or Attack on Titan (or almost every show with an 8.00+ score) topping both the Top Rated and the Most Popular categories on MAL. And this is why 90% of all the high-brow, thought-provoking, unique, and artistically valuable anime titles have average scores below 7.00 on MAL.
>12,292 people can't be wrong
Tell that to the Filipinos
COPE
SEED is the best
I liked GBD better. Seethe more
Westoids let alone the mainstream over here (which is what MAL represents) have never ever been able to appreciate Tomino. No surprise that being confronted by even a slightly more challenging Tomino work has left the average MAL scorer drooling and confused.
>MAL
The highest rated Gundam shows on MAL are Origin, IBO, Unicorn and G-Witch. I wouldn’t trust them running a bath, let alone recommending a Gundam show to me
>a bath
Like they'd know what that is
Nah let him die happy.
Impossible, he shines too bright, his genki levels too high.
He still is in a way a doomer about the future but he focuses more on living and experiencing the present life now.
Tomino's current stance is basically that the near future is probably extremely fricked because he has no hope for current adults and politicians, but he hopes that future kids will be "newtypes" and create a better world
>but he hopes that future kids will be "newtypes" and create a better world
Seems like a generic answer. "The future generation will fix shit". 99% of the time, when a solution is attempted, it's violence. Don't know why they always think it will be some peace movement.
Current?
That's literally his signature message.
>but he hopes that future kids will be "newtypes" and create a better world
>next generation will have different experience and may attempt to deal with shit we left for them in different ways
This isn't as deep as the interview tries to make it to look.
>This isn't as deep
That's all of Anno's works.
Anno won.
>Success wise?
about the same as tomino
>quality wise?
imao
I will never understand the obsession with Authors/author commentary. Its just such a negative part of ecosystem. George RR Martin will never finish his stupid series because he gets paid more to appear at conventions or interviews than he ever could for a book. Half the time the interviews result in the disavowal/degradation of earlier content, like with Invincible, or with straight up retcons. Just watch the material and let the author die, and hope that their death will motivate them to make more stuff
Yeah, I want creators to add trivia and expand on the setting, not interpret the story for me.
So the JK "Wizards shit in their pants and use magic to clean it up" Rowling route?
I'd nix the trivia, but expanding the setting, i.e. more stories in the world, sounds pretty good to me
caring about lore for the sake of lore is nonsense
That skin cancer on his face is looking bad. It's asymmetric.
What I don't get is... Tomino seems to be in line with the world elites, but he's still based regarding women. Or was, maybe, the newest Tomino show I've watched was Victory Gundam.
Lol, Tomino was literally talking about israelites controlling Hollywood and shit and Anaheim being related to that in Zeta
he really, really wasn't
i know you want your favorite director to be just like you, but this does not in fact make him a raging antisemite like you'd like him to be
My wife is israeli I'll have you know.
Yeah but you call everyone you don't like a israelite so that doesn't really mean much.
No, she does that.
post her milkers
Cope homosexual
oh vey, shut it down
Hi Jordan!
QED snowflakes
I work in the luxury industry and met american israelites daily. The stereotypes are so true it hurts.
Do they purchase bullion at market price, below market price, or above?
>Gaia Gear
kek, try as you might, you homosexuals are going to have to deal with these production notes forever
Hints of this are in Reconguista as well...
>Hints
The entire subtext of G-Reco is literally about """it"""
you WILL eat the Kuntala
never forget that the original translation for Zeon was Zion either...
Only thing is "Zionism" in Japanese is "Shionisumu".
Also zion vs zeon is a difference in transliteration not translation. It's pronounced the same (Jion) they just used an e rather than the more traditional i to avoid spelling it zion which at least in english is pronounced differently (closer to zaion if using Japanese romanization).
/pol/gay never will learn
Victory wasn't even misogynistic even if people keep saying it. and then you see his view on Turn A where he openly praises matriarchial societies
He creates good works but I'll never buy into his ideals.
Tomino is a big Kubrick fan
G-Reco is his Eyes Wide Shut
g reco is about wanting to bang your sister
Friendly reminder: Tomino never experienced warfare and knows nothing about war. He admitted in an interview that he researched war, not experienced it.
so has there been a full translation of the interview where Tomino finally liked Victory and urged people to watch it?
Deacon is holding the complete translation hostage unless you pay him to finish it

Nothing personal, it's just business
We live in a capitalist world after all
So I watched
>Ideon
>Dunbine
>L-Gaim
>All of his Gundam
I liked all of it except maybe Dunbine.
Is there anything more I should watch? Don't say Xabungle. The mecha design looks like shit.
Xabungle
Overman King Gainer
Brain Powerd
Zambot 3
I did watch Zambot 3 as well. I guess I'll watch Gainer next.
>Don't say Xabungle
You are seriously cutting yourself off from one of the most fun and entertaining shows out there but by all means keep yourself closed off lol
Xabungle is one of his best, gay
