I couldn't say it better, especially the last one. This show was a disappointment in his writing / characters ... 5/10 |

| This shows fucking ridiculous and im sad it's over. It had such garbage storytelling but it was just consistently entertaining every week. |
| Episode that ended in the most classic TV series, with a last fight with no holds barred and with two deaths just to not to miss anything, though I wonder why those character had to die? Oh Well! Plot that at least does not leave everything on hold, showing something definitive before the end of the episode, although in most cases, I did not understand much. I wonder if there will be a seconsa season. Narratively epsiodio latter also is not clear especially on the mode of action of the characters, for the rest, were pleasant clashes and the many mecha shown almost to the end. Characters that were not enough characterized, but a certain charm were angry. Final rating for now of 6.5 / 10! |
 |
| Nice ending. Unfortunately it was too rushed for me. I believe this needed a 2nd season or an expansion of the second part of the story. |

Roloko said: That motorcycle one was pretty bad but i dont think its anything near as bad as some other deaths in the series let alone just in victory were, now bikkini babe death squad on jetpacks from victory on the other hand deserves full lol worthy status and i still think that might be even more wtf than that guy's death from G-reco.I don't know which Gundam death is the best this one or that one from Victory Gundam that involved a motorcycle. xD |

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 |
| Total shit story, that's for sure. Luckily I've long since stopped expecting good stories from Gundam, and the art, MS designs and battles were great, so that's a 5/10 instead of a 3. But wow, seriously Tomino, go home, you're clearly drunk or something. |
| Its finally over. That Bellri vs Luin fight was really good. Despite how messy the series is. I still enjoyed this show. I lol at Klim attempted to kill his dad using the crescent moon and Cumpa god thrown of a mountain and died from a fall. Mick Jack almost got killed. Well the whole cast except didn't. die. Poor Noredo. Bell you jerk, at least left her Accompany you. Not much to say, but I'm glad this show is over. 7/10 It was a fun entertaining ride. |
BahamutZero said: Well, looks like Destiny isn't the worst of the bunch anymore. Destiny is leaps better than this. This was just jumbled nonsense |
| I just finished watching this series, and I absolutely loved it! (Though the war seemed to be resolved a bit too easily in this episode.) I certainly liked this series much more than 00, and a bit more than Destiny. I'm not familiar with this Gundam fan community, so I don't know which series people like more than others or why. I though Bellri was a breath of fresh air compared to the common silent angsty protagonists that many series seem to have. I also liked many of the characters. The themes were interesting and not the usual for this sort of show, so that was good. Obviously, this series had serious plotting issues - everything was rushed, but it was put together in a way that I still quite enjoyed it. |
| 6/10 - This is hell of a weird show. I loved the classic feel of mecha battles, beautiful designs, and overall action during battles. Yet I couldn't get who is fighting who and for what purpose :( I know there are some good and bad factions in space, and good Ameria want to fight the bad guys while bad Capital Army disturb them (which is why they are evil and have the evil pyramid mobile suit of evil at some point I guess). And that's all I understood. I don't get how the politics work in this world at all, I don't get why people randomly change allegiances and what their motives are. I tried searching for a plot synopsis thinking I missed things, but it didn't help. It was exhausting, considering it's not some symbolic show with deep meaning, just messy direction. And finally I have no idea what is the conlusion of this series other than the fact that Bellri had defeated the "evil" Captain Mask. This could easily have been 9/10 for mecha fanservice only if the story hadn't caused me so many headaches. |

Ok I get all the themes and ideals behind the show, but the writing, directing and screenplay was a mess! I wish at least the characters acted rationally and behaved like actual people. Guess Sunrise didn't let Tomino have all the episodes he wanted, clearly the last arc was rushed and hardly made any sense. I don't even get how the war ended..though I am quite happy that Klim and Ringo survived, I was really expecting one of them to die :D Besides that I absolutely adore the art style and animation, I hope we'll get to see more of this in the future! Had some fantastic battles, especially the last one. It actually started out fairly good but then it just got worse. 6/10 |
| Just finished watching it and to be honest I never understood what happened beyond episode 10 or so. It's too confusing. 6/10 |
| The story is quite confusing but I'm enjoying it. |
 |
| The show really felt like it was supposed to be 50eps but was cut short and rushed. It was one of the better Gundam shows post Turn A Gundam for a while, but the last few episodes weren't really good. Especially the final episode sucked ass as it was pretty random. It was still better than Seed, 00 and AGE, but that's not saying much. It's just a shame that it ended this way. It had a fun cast and nice visual style. All it needed was better pacing and 4 cours. Will probably settle with a 6/10. Now I hope the new Gundam show is better. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Can't justify giving this more an a 4/10. I really tried liking it for the first few episodes. Tomino sillyness I can handle, but this.... is something else. They cram too many things at once. I'd rather watch the recent Fantastic Four movie. I liked some of the designs of mechs here, especially the Montero. G-Arcane was a waste. Barely did anything notable in 26 episodes. Deserves a better pilot. Aida is useless and so is that Noredo Nug girl. Glad it was over though. |

| There might be a movie (reworked compilation?) in the working!! Tomino in Forbes: Gundam, G-Reco, his career, the future @QuattroVaginas My bad, I thought it was still a wish of Tomino at that time. If you want more interviews, I made a list on my profile. (it's not advertising, I am just trying to spread "knowledge") Also, I didn't expect an answer, particularly so soon, on this forum. I thought the G-Reco corner was dead. February 7, 2021 @St0rmblade Thanks for confirming my suspicion : it's comprehensible. (I was baffled when I read Tomino's regrets: I had seen the last chunk of the series by then and it didn't sound like what I had watched). This main opinion is just born out of the larger part of watchers: "simulcast people" who... - are used to "watched and forgotten" spoon-feeding shows that show up by dozens every TV season (this already makes Tomino their nemesis thanks to his storytelling habits), - have no clue of U.C. (not like this is a true handicap here, but the recipe is totally foreign to them, they're mainly expecting a robots action show), (In France, it was the first "simulcasted" Gundam for example: so, the simulcast watchers were from two origins, younger ones who never watched a Gundam or knew it from Wings fame, and young adults around my age who loved Wings on TV and/or Seed melodrama in fansub.) Of course, a few U.C./Gundam afficionado disliked the series too, but it's a drop among them. As for my watching... Where's this Gundam (UC?) top ? Iknow the old one, but not the actualized version. (edit: I checked your marks, looks almost exactly like mines. Don't think you're alone.) I love how you keep refering to Zeta in your Gundam appreciations. XD Did it become somehow the measure for Gundam failures? Waiting for your Brain Powerd travel log ! (the 15years old me didn't watch it on T.V and when I wanted to try it as a Summer of Tomino thing, I failed to find a decently subbed copy past ep.1...) St0rmblade said: Didn't expect G-Reco to be your first UC Gundam though (even if in an incomplete form). It also probably explains that baffling "criticism" that Toshio Okada spelled out about G-Reco's first 4 episodes. I knonw it's strange to start with G Reco. ^^" (Still better than my first episodes of the whole franchise: Wing.) Amuro's saga, I mean the 0079 storyline was my actual first (of all) Gundam, I just happened to watch and read it fully way later than I learned about it (and the whole scenario). Ahah, I thought the Okada reaction was so stupid the first time I've read it: he had a point on the fact Tomino was clearly expectig too much from today's audience but then he put himself in the same basket despite havig probably consumed lots of series with no spoon-feeding back when he was younger. Good thing to put " " on the word. (What about Ima soko ni iru? I've read all of your comments back then.) |

| Sieg Zeon! |
| i like how bell found a part of jaburo, and those two damaged zgoks. |
 |
| The worst Gundam series that i watch until now!!! This last episode elapses quickly again, and the battle, one more time, was confused!!! Well, Bellri starts in Japan his world travel tour!!!! |
| Okay, my take on this finally. Everyone here is fixated on the question "is it good or bad?" Am I the only one who doesn't care about value judgements like that? All I really want is to understand what the hell Tomino is thinking; quality is a secondary concern to me at this point. I was able to follow him all the way up to Brain Powerd, which I controversially rated a 10/10 and wrote a glowing review of. I think this is where I finally lost him, and I kinda feel like it was my fault. Like, it wasn't because of him that I was watching 20 other series at the same time, it wasn't because of him that I waited weeks between episodes and forgot many precious plot details in the process. Everything was spelled out in the anime, but only once because, for once, Tomino assumed we weren't retarded. I think the shame is on me, not him, that I failed to rise to the challenge. Even so, I know that a lot in the anime was quite funny, and that this last battle while simultaneously re-entering the atmosphere was one of the most unique and intense I've ever seen. I have a feeling that this was great, even if I can't really know that for sure (since I didn't really know what was going on). I feel like a country hick in the museum of contemporary art, both embarrassed for my fellow hicks idiotically making fun of the art, and ashamed of myself for not really getting it either. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| I wanted to enjoy it, but just couldn't. The way the characters changed from one episode to the next made no sense. Bellri is an asshole. Left without even telling Noredo? C'mon, man. |
| The moral: if you want to end war, kill the people that start them. I would say the last 10 minutes of this episode are the weakest parts of the entire series. Either way, this was a lot of fun. Klim's reasoning in crushing his father might be the most off the wall thing in the entire series, and the only moment that didn't make sense to me. He seemed to have a lot of fun fighting that war, Not entirely sure what confused so many people though. Even if you forgot the name of a ship or something, you don't watch anime to create a database, the general movement of the plot was very straight-forward.In fact, going into this knowing it was supposed to be 'hard to follow' I can't say it's much different from any other Tomino show I've seen. The side characters have a lot of personality and the designs, art, colors, and animation are out of this world. There's also little touches here and there that make the constructed world feel so alive. The opposite of boring, I liked it quite a bit. |

| Another "double loop" as opposed to Dezaki-esque "triple loops" in Turn A. Interesting Seems like the place of the final battle is not entirely new - those highlands (and the waterfall) could be seen in earlier episodes during Megafauna's travel to the Capital Tower Mask's mobile suit falling like that into the water was (almost) an Inugami Famiy reference. Flaminia seemingly got smaller. And she was experiencing that gravity. Kun Soon wasn't interested in Chickara after all. Silly me who thought that. Fukuchou face reveal! And Tomino's voice cameo at the end. Chuchumy was not forgotten. I can be happy now. So Luin was the first main (sort of) antagonist in UC (yes, this is UC) Gundam who unambiguously survived at the end. Huh. Unlike all those higher-ups and other politicians who got crushed by their ambitions. SU-cordism still prevails, the monopoly on Photon Batteries is still there, I guess. "Women are amazing!" - we know, Tomino. The women-centered ending is an interesting complement to the themes of Victory, viewed through the lens of Tomino's changing views on the topic (due to his family). Apparently Mask tai made the black haired girl pregnant, great job man! Nothing implied that he did. Do they ever explain the iris codes? Early on cahill sees that bellri also has an iris code and then they just never go back to that and no one else seems to bring it up. That's a fair criticism. - "Hi, my name is Luin and I've lost the fight and didn't stop the future dictator, but that's ok, that ship is really beautiful" - "Hi, I'm from Venus Globe and I have this WTF idea that war is the history's motor; because of that I've been killing some people; I've lost the fight, but that's ok, I'm pregnant" - "Hi, my name is Aida and I was useless as always" - "Hi, my name is Klim and I order this ship, a peaceful future symbol, to crash that guy" Bellri failed Luin's expectations and just went on a journey around the world. Luin lost his reason to fight. G-IT's main goal was to repopulate the Earth. People can just stop fighting each other (like they historically did in many cases). And Kun Soon was just impressed - "there're Earthnoids like that too". Plus the main warmongers on all sides died, their forces suffering severe damage. Klim's ending was indeed weird a bit but I guess that's one way of dealing with a warmonger. Overall: I just refuse to interact with the criticism of G-Reco as "incomprehensible". It just isn't. If it means anything, Urobuchi Gen praised it. I feel somewhat bad for Tomino who gave in to the haters and said that the show was complicated, not a success, etc, etc. While it's understandable that the story would've benefitted from more episodes and more screen time for the involved parties, the information given was still enough to figure what's going on, and enjoy the process (like I did). Despite spending plenty of time on battles (while having so few - for Tomino - episodes), they were less tiring than in Zeta, and I'd say more meaningful - though it'd be fine if there were less of them. And the political landscape was much more diverse and potentially interesting than in Zeta, too. G-Reco was good for what it was and for its length, with great potential - its reputation and rating on MAL (how's it in Japan, btw?) just baffles me. Though having a personal Gundam top list that's basically an inverse of what one would usually encounter on the Internet, I'm not surprised. Maybe Brain Powerd is also actually a decent show? @Rei_III I still can't figure out whether you've seen past episode 9 thanks to your comment here and on ep. 16 xD Most G-Reco reviews on MAL have been written without finishing the show. Ha. P.S. I wonder if there's a possibility of a reworked ending in the last movie, or a sequel. Or a prequel. P.P.S. The irony of Aida using her real name in ep. 1 as if it was fake (Rayhunton instead of Surugan). And I just looked up the priest's full name and apparently he's Noredo's relative haha. Explains their familiarity with each other. Rei_III said: Where's this Gundam (UC?) top ? Iknow the old one, but not the actualized version. (edit: I checked your marks, looks almost exactly like mines. Don't think you're alone.) I love how you keep refering to Zeta in your Gundam appreciations. XD Did it become somehow the measure for Gundam failures? What about my Ima Soko travel log though The marks work fine as a top, yes. Though I've only recently spelled out to myself that Zeta actually ended up being my least favorite entry in UC (spin-offs probably warrant a separate top for themselves, it's wrong to compare short OVAs with 50ep long series), and Turn A would probably end up as a success measure, alongside with the original saga. I wonder where Hathaway's Flash will be placed, as well as Crossbone (if it ever gets animated, since I'm not the biggest fan of its mangaka's style). "When I came back to the Internet" - this is such a funny line. Didn't expect G-Reco to be your first UC Gundam though (even if in an incomplete form). I suspected that people's watching habits might have something to do with their response to Gundam (and anime in general), thanks for confirming my suspicions. It also probably explains that baffling "criticism" that Toshio Okada spelled out about G-Reco's first 4 episodes. UPD: Urobuchi Gen's comments are awesome and reflect my impression of Mask and Bellri really well. https://00tn2.blogspot.com/2016/02/urobuchi-gen-on-reconguista-of-g.html |

| Possibly my favorite post-Universal Century series that Tomino has directed. Though it doesn't hold a candle to Turn A in some places; I'd definitely recommend the movies when they're done. |
| Currently Watching: Yuru-Yuri |
| One of the most shallow and poor endings i have ever seen, the coolest thing were the Z'Gok in the cave. Overall this show is a big missed opportunity, the art and animation are good, the action is decent and the mecha design is cool but the show suffers a lot in the writing and plot department, it's really confusing, not very clear and badly explained. Like the characters switch sides without explaination and their motives are always obscure and hard to understand. I liked the show but to say its good is a lie. 6/10 and i'm very generous. |
