| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- It's somehow strange to see a prequel to the original Gundam in full CGI. It does look pretty nice though, at least the ships and the Gundams. I don't really like the look of the people, but that's maybe because I'm not a big fan of CGI anyway. I'm glad to see that there are no children and/or ball-shaped robots so far. :D |
| I don't know karate, but I know karazy |
| I was more interested in the ship to ship battle in Loum but I guess it was ok. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Hmmm the human CGI sucks bad its like one of the 20th century game cutscenes xD But the Zaku and Ships were somewhat ok... Well it was a informative episode i guess z_Z |
| That is sad. It's like the 306 are reporting on obsolete weapons. The Jomangund cannon, quite powerful I'd say, probably serves as a lesser version of the "Sun mirror beam" (name escapes me). I am not that used to CGI. While it's beautiful, what's with their mouths?! The Zaku were great! |
 |
| Character CGI was very bad, but the battles were pretty nice. It's sad to see the cannon is somehow obsolete. and btw, nice Char appearence! haha |
| For CG I actually found this episode quite enjoyable. That cannon looked pretty lethal, too bad they weren't giving a chance to test it out properly : / |

| the animation on the people was horrible, everything else looks fine. Story wise it feels like its moving too fast for its own good, so far its pretty underwhelming |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Those Zaku mobile forces just paved the way and took out all of those cruisers, leaving the federation team to wonder if they had any part in this battle at all. Nice first episode to this ova. I never really been a fan of CGI, some of the expressions were a bit strange but over all it was enjoyable and had some emotional intensity to it. |
  |
| That was actually pretty good, I admit the cgi put me off at first but I got used to it eventually, the quality of everything else helped. I liked seeing spaceships actually doing stuff beside unloading mobile suits. |
| I don't mind the CGI at all. God damn the battle of Loum was awesome. Loved how Char shows up. Gundam Origin also has a great perspective of the battle too. |
| いっぺん死んでみる？ |
| Eww them character Cgi's look disgusting. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| LOL "Mobile suits will be the key so at least for the end of the era of the large cannons let me do it" Imagine how ecstatic this guy would be if he had lived about 10 years later into the gryps conflict. |
| I watched this episode once I finished the Loum chapters of The Origin "flashback" segment. I suppose the big selling point was the battle of Loum. It was indeed the only moment I enjoyed. The "tragedy" of the crew's mission was a nice final. The characters faces are so strange, especially when they are supposed to convey emotions. The zooms do not help. And some moves animations seem not so good with humans, only the spaceships/Zakus moved well (I thought CGI was supposed to animate things better). |
| Why would they waste resources and manpower on the Jomungand if they don't plan to use it? They're like "They played us like a damn fiddle!" I'm not sure how I feel with this CGI. |

Arvsmageddon said: It's political, and actually happens all the time. Different defense contractors (or design bureaus if fully government controlled) each still want to have their own ideas and designs validated. And governments find it better to let multiple competing systems be evaluated - not only does it allow the same issues to be tackled from different perspectives, but also has an alternative pre-readied if something goes wrong with the chosen unit. Why would they waste resources and manpower on the Jomungand if they don't plan to use it? They're like "They played us like a damn fiddle!" I'm not sure how I feel with this CGI. Capable units losing out for various reasons are quite common in military history: -The Northrop YF-23 lost to the Lockheed YF-22, despite being stealthier and having superior performance in many key areas. Insiders note that past history (B-2 program's massive overruns VS F-117 on time and under budget) played a notable role. -In WWII Germany, field commanders explicitly asked for a Germanized T-34. They were given the Panther instead. -Before WWII, the Hawker Hurricane was largely sidelined by the RAF, who only acquired it to fill potential gaps created by teething problems with the more modern Spitfire. The Hurricane, however, had several advantages and was the most important British fighter in the first years of the war. -Similarly, the US P-39 Aircobra, originally designed as a high-altitude interceptor, was rejected by the UK and sidelined by the US due to performance issues at high altitudes. The UK actually cancelled a large order, and the US mainly used them to fill urgent needs in the Pacific. It was used only for lack of anything better. But the Soviets loved the plane, constantly asking for more and using them to telling effect. Just with completely different tactics. -The nasty little Italian CR.42 biplane, while theoretically completely obsolete in 1940, came as a rude shock to the British in the Mediterranean. They couldn't figure out any way for their existing aircraft to win in a dogfight. They could only try and use speed and altitude to avoid mixing it up. However, on the converse, the performance of its predecessor in the Spanish Civil War prompted the Italians to focus heavily on biplanes because they were cheaper, and, as a result, the Italian air force was poorly equipped to fight US and British aircraft and tactics throughout the war. |

| I'm really not a fan of the CGI, while the chronological prequel to this has superb art, this trying too realistic cgi style is really ruining it for me! Can't really enjoy it at all, so yea let's hope the action and story will be overpassing the bad CGI! |
 |
| Decent first episode,the CGI is hard to get used to tho. |
| 0079 Universal Century, 15th of January, begin the first battle in the space, Zeow Vs. Earth, and Zeon tested two new weapons, a big canon, Jormungand, a the Mobile Suits, the future of the war. Nice episode, although has errors, how the movements in the space, but in general is a nice episode. The best moment, when appear the Zakus, and the Red Zaku was incredible, the Red Zaku of Char Aznable!!! 8/10. |
| It looks like a machinima |
| The answer to 1984 is 1776 |
| This was actually really cool, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The CG didn't look that bad aside from the characters (especially their faces when they speak lmao) and it was really interesting getting a small glimpse of a weapon other than the mobile suit that could have shaped the way the OYW/universal century played out. It was also cool seeing the Battle of Loum from the perspective of just an ordinary soldier on the battlefield as well. |
| Aside from the the ps3 cutscene-like characters, everything else was quite good. CoolBoy98 said: It looks like a machinima lmao |
| the characters cgi really hurt my eyes, but the battle was beautiful. |
