GarudaAiacos said: this show isnt UC is it? by UC you mean universal century? tis is the first official gundam to take place after universal century. in this very ep bellri was even talking about how all the power is consolidated and controlled by capital guard or whatever so they dont make the same mistakes of the universal century, when mankind almost got destroyed. (Im guessing they are talking about all the wars and especially gundam unicorn in that line) anyway, UC is over. this is a new era. I forgot what it was called tho. I really like this show though, I think its awesome. Original animation style, and feel. Almost feels like eureka 7 or something lol, im really enjoying it. Yes, the Universal Century has become the Rigueld Century (sp?) now and G-Reco is meant to bridge the gap between Victory and Turn A, though I doubt we'll see the Turn A/X Gundams by the end of this series. The power seems to have been decentralised, with the Federation long gone and new nations like Ameria setting up, but with solar power being controlled by Capital City were the space elevator is. Unicorn was little more than a foot note to the UC, things like the OYW where Side 2 and 5 got attacked and the colony drop whipped out half of the population. The Delaz incident had another colony drop, the Grips conflict saw several colonies being destroyed or depopulated. I could go on, there were many conflicts quite a bit bigger than the Laplace Incident. |
| I'm definetly going to need to finish up turn A before this series ends cause it does sound like it may possibly have some connections to it. |

TURNA has connections to every single gundam to exist. Its a damn masterpiece. I'd actually prefer this did NOT connect to that as it would sully my enjoyment of Turn A. |

| LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL World setting --> interesting Artstyle --> ok Animation --> ok Characters and their actions --> horrible Seriously, dialouge and the acts of the characters is horrible. Why would they let Aida get into the MS, and as the result she kidnap (i even can't call that kidnapping LOL) 3 people. Bellri and Nug can actually takeover the cockpit or something, they shouldn't just let them being kidnapped. kurosaki_kabuto said: Yet, what I find most amusing about this show is not its kid-oriented flaws but the way some hipsters and elitists that take a hyper-cynical attitude towards every anime they see and nitpick every single episode of those shows for stupid stuff now feel this is the AOTS and see nothing wrong/stupid here just because it is "old-school". Such a pity. I find the setting to be fairly interesting and want to see where the story goes, the art and animation work pretty well and at times it has a really nice feel. But they just keep ruining it with some frustrating scenes. CookingPriest said: *yawn* Still don't care about any of characters Still have no idea what the fuck is going on or why should I care it is going on. 2/5 |
| So Bellri and co just went with Aida? Well I mean obviously they weren't going to be able to take control away from her. But the fact that they are now with the enemy seems like it could be a problem... But I'm liking this quite a bit. It's a lot better than Seed so far, I hope it can keep up this momentum it has. Plus the ED is awesome! |
| 4/5 Episode in which the narrative is still in its infancy, I begin to understand something, but just a little I'd say. Oh well, everything is in getting used to. Still I guess if they want to set the story in a serious or comical seen how the story went. The designs are fabulous for me, Character Design I like it very much and animations are good, then the absence of CG is even better. Cute is the ending. |
 |
| Good ep. We got to see all the local fauna at the forest... and those cockpits lol. |
"Fortress Maximus has come himself. Okay! Then I shall get Fortress Maximus to fight me, huh huh huh!" |
CookingPriest said: well yeah i know its connected to them all through the correct century, its pretty much impossible to not have that spelled out to you unless you watch it as your first gundam, at which point would be null in and of itself. Anyhow thats why i watched G, wing, and X before i started turn A so i can get the ties ins as well as take a much needed break from tomino's......"style", it just so happened G reco aired before i got to it in time. G reco may be showing that i returned to his style of writing too early but im more inclined to believe that this is just legiitmently the worst start of a tomino gundam with the obvious exceptions of the ever so infamous ZZ. Hopefully when i start turn A ill enjoy it more than i did this so far, and hopefully by the time i start turn A this series itself will find its own ground and its own groove to improve. Turn A has interested me in a while especially cause i hear its a slower entry which is what i applauded X for doing as it focused more on worldbuilding and characters having legitiment chemistry, japan rewarded this much appreciated addition by shitcanning it, so turn A could be another X for me but actually given its full run to run its courseJizzyHitler said: I'm definetly going to need to finish up turn A before this series ends cause it does sound like it may possibly have some connections to it.

| Dat toilet cockpit tho haha Still confused about the whole show but gonna see how it goes |
| Did Bell took a sh*t in the cockpit with the rest of girl watching!? Now I know how Mobile Suit Pilots do their business.... #CockpitToilet2014 |
| This anime is so... weird. The 'pirate' gets captured and noone really gives a damn that she tried to sabotage one of their elevators. Then she manages to 'steal' back her gundam with a retard, and two of the Tower people especially the main character who do NOTHING to stop her from going back to her base with a dangerous gundam, but even HELP her. Plot please??? |
| ^ That's what I think too. Anyway, people who are not used to Tomino's style will definitely find it weird or silly but it's not, and it's not a teen show either, I mean, it is partially but that's just a disguise. Tomino likes very much childish and naive appearance for his main characters because he always wants a perspective of a teen in his twisted war-political stories. And that's not all, a talented and "innocent" kid as character has the highest chances of character development in this kind of setting. |
 |
| I must say I like this attempt to almost turn the clock back on the Gundam franchise. But there are still a few things that don't make too much sense. First, why did Bellri even let Aida take the cockpit? Didn't he have a chance to take G-Self and fight Klim himself? And once he took the pilot's seat, why not just attack Klim and flee? He has no reason to go along... Second, given that photon batteries are the main energy source, wouldn't one expect more resources devoted to protecting the capital? Even if the army's only formed recently, a single MS shouldn't be able to basically threaten to cut off the world's energy. Anyway, I like the art, the characters, and where this is going. Maybe trying to put logic in anime is illogical to begin with. |
| ^ It was important Klim to recognize that Aida is driving the Gundam and is coming home (so, the attack and the damage to the elevators were stopped). Klim is the son of the president of Ameria and I think Kumpa (the older gentleman from the Research Division) sent Bellri and the others away on purpose. ^^Yes, unless the Tower relied on the "religion" thing and the sanctions more till now. |
| One of my main problems with Tomino's writing is that his characters have a tendency to completely turn their brains off and just go along with whatever's happening in order to serve the plot. Why was Aida not being kept in any sort of cell? She's a pirate who openly attacked them and they put her in a cell initially, but when that got destroyed their best solution was to just move her to a fancy room? Also, I get that they were under attack, but seeing as the pirates tried to rescue Aida before, why wasn't she being guarded? They not only left her unsupervised, but the very people she attacked were walking around with her. And why would Belri and Noredo not only let Aida take the G-Self to the pirates, but go with her? They were clearly affiliated with the enemy and what if the pirates killed them on sight or imprisoned them for use as hostages? They could have easily overpowered Aida and taken the G-Self back, but instead they were just like "eh, whatever" and let her do as she pleased. I'm trying to give this show a chance, but Tomino still hasn't learned from his past mistakes. |

Klim is the son of the president of Ameria and I think Kumpa (the older gentleman from the Research Division) sent Bellri and the others away on purpose. To clarify though, even if we assume that the higher-ups wanted the G-Self to return to the "pirates," I don't think there was any sign that Bellri and co. got the memo. The point isn't what the old man intended, but why Bellri just went along with it. There is no indication that he would've been unable to defeat Klim with the help of everyone else around him. |
TheAshmanCometh said: One of my main problems with Tomino's writing is that his characters have a tendency to completely turn their brains off and just go along with whatever's happening in order to serve the plot. Although this is a signature flaw of many of his lesser shows, he also has written some of the best characters in the business. Also he's like fucking 70 something and has to be completely insane by now, we're lucky he can even write at this level anymore. There's no use in expecting something like 0079 again, but it at least seems better than Rean and Brain Powered. G no Reconguista is simply a take it or leave it series, there isn't going to be a middle ground. |
| HAHA WTF was with that music in the end. This episode was classic Tomino on all fronts, in both good and bad. |
 |
| Art style is continuing to throw me off. Blah. How can you pixelate the black parts of the gundam so much? Just terrible. All the outlines of characters, mechas, etc are so bad. Aside from that, still trying to figure out what the plot is. |

| what they are with the enemy now without much of a struggle lol |
| What is this, a zoo? So many animals this episode. Then we let Aida escape in her own gundam, with 3 others, with the cockpit door open the entire time... nice to see her pilot again, I hope there will be more of that. |
  |
Well i know at least one(or two) who got a good feel from this episode.  |

| What the hell this episode is confusing as hell!! Why was Aida treated like a princess even though she's supposed to be a prisoner?? And did that The animation is really dated while combining new things. Animals have those weird and expressive faces, people getting bump and reacting all goofy. And did that Nick Klim just peed inside of his mobile suit? Even Zenam took a shit in the last moments O__O He seem the crazy type, he's not Heero badass, he's just crazy with that stupid laugh of his :P Aida is a ballerina!! That's why she keeps dancing during CM, but wtf she dances in the middle of a conversation? That music in the last episode is just mocking the scene :P Anyways it won't be Tomino without his characters turning 180 in the last moments that's for sure. Can't wait for the next episode! |
| LOL K. Classic Tomino, the stupidity in this could be worse than that of Victory Gundam. But this is how these usually starts, hopefully things start getting better sooner than later. |
| Noredo Nug is ANNOYING!!!!!! I hope she falls off a cliff. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
veatbreaker said: the story is a mess. seriously aida doing the ballerina spin at the colonel's office out of nowhere? (around 10:26). also she was supposed to be a prisoner, how did she even get near the mobile suit without anyone stopping or even reacting to her actions baffles me. plus, ooh they attacked our base took the mobile suit, kidnapped 3 of their people and their reaction was to just stop sending them batteries. Yeah, I'm still scratching my head at all this. The actions taken by the main cast in this show just doesn't make any logical sense. |
In sterquiliniis invenitur. |
| I've pretty much seen all Gundam shows except G at this point, and this is the first time someone actually cared about those flying pods. They actually went out of their way to help it land. 10/10 |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| A toilet... |
| The G-Self return to home, after scapes 4 people inside him!!!! |
First... it's about time MS have integrated toilets ! I don't understand why this became so famous, it's only logical. I admit the idea was maybe put too much forward with the last scene of Bellri pooping on some latin music. So, Ameria wants to stop the monopoly of batteries/energy? But the weird religion about limiting technology and its country ? region ? want to keep it. And the orbital elevator is a link toward... ? The moon? Meanwhile, of course, the continents are trying to threat through their military forces and the religious energy conglomerate (ot whatever it is) is reacting by developing/having developed its own army? 4/5   Why is Tomino so mean with animals? ... @CodeBlazeFate I had to show you the first picture. |

| What type of person is Klim? Reminds me of those cocky aristocrat types, especially with his hairstyle (a mix of Garma, Roux, Angelo, Dorel and King from They Were Eleven..maybe someone else but I feel it's a dejavu). Though the jazzy music during his introduction gave off a different impression xD "If you get in my way, I have no choice but to injure you" - now that's a familiar Gundam philosophy (yeah yeah I know Tomino's "G-Reco is not a Gundam and it wasn't my decision to make it so"). And then we got "I won't injure you" lol. Nice dialogue. Mobile Suit toilets are such a handy invention. I hope there's something to wash one's hands with. Hygiene is important! I admit the idea was maybe put too much forward with the last scene of Bellri pooping on some latin music. That's what the designer wanted! The eyecatch returns (wasn't there in ep. 2 for some reason) Oh, I wonder what's this thing on Noredo's forehead. Reminds of Topless from Diebuster. So Aida is the daughter of an important person from the pirate/Ameria faction, I see. The moment after Klim threw his Javelin (what other mecha are known "users" of similar weaponry?), you could hear the shooting sound effects from Macross 7! Cool. And the whole "classic" battle feel was a good thing. All the tropes, the character triangles, the dashes, everything. Plus this episode had a bit more of visual gags than the previous ones, I think. As always, the higher-ups (totally not a metaphor for Tomino's productions!) in the government are doing shady things with their monopoly on the Capital Tower. A war for resources is potentially interesting here, given that Capital Power's monopoly is seemingly justified with some sort of religion about the Earth ("reconguista" is also relevant here). And it looks like the Colonel and the Operations Director might not be exactly on the same side. The ending scene decided to break the 4th wall, I see. "Even if you don't want to watch, watch!" - Bellri Tomino's self-insert, I swear. I mean he said almost the same thing promoting the movies, iirc. P.S. Turn A had a score by Yoko Kanno, G-Reco has a score by... Yugo Kanno. Nice. |

| Loving the show thus far! Tomino is a god! |
 |
| Ok episode, i like the lighthearted atmosphere, not everything you watch has to be dark gory grim depressing, and it doesn't mean that the show is bad only for this reason. The toilet cockpit was funny. |
