| So far it's pretty bad imo |
| It's ooook not as bad as Gundam Build Fighters at least |
| same reason why turn a not getting high score (actually quite high 7.76) because its slow pacing and the main plot of this series not clear yet not every anime fans have enough patience, they want straight plot, kewl action, antagonist and instant plot twist. |
| Also, people are watching the terrible sub from HS and thinking that's the actual script. |
| Its a pretty poor show so far sadly, dialogue is really bad regardless of the subs you use as its almost entirely lazy exposition and stating the obvious making way for absolutely no personality in the characters, that and there is a absurd lack of motivation in the characters to the point where its on the verge of breaking the show. It could get better as were only just getting into things(it took 3 episodes to get passed the basic synopsis of the show given before airing), but yeah purely based off the first 3 episodes in compariosn to the other gundam i have seened (all UC and anything pre turn A) this has the worst start in the franchise save for ZZ Though without even watching the other, i can guarentee you this would like like a masterpiece in comparison to cross anal ange |

| It's strange and not that strange when you're familiar with Tomino's work. After dealing with Unicorn and BF, this is a switch. Of course, I thought we would get trained from the comedy of BF. Tomino had his ups of downs within comedy and serious-war. Ideon and Xabungle, Zeta and Double Zeta. We return to "funny" with G-Reco; by ep 2, it gets a bit serious. I think G-Recon is a little strange so far. |

| Its not bad, you just have some people who never watched Gundam saying it was bad, I thought it was great, love the series, some just say its bad because it was goofy, and/or the characters weren't taking stuff seriously, its like waaaaaaaaaaay after the Universal Century and there in the Regild Century, thousands of years (I think) after the Universal Century, with peace, so why not not take anything seriously IMO |
| Signature removed. |
| can i please just have another serious gundam... getting a bit tired of this semi-serious teen orientated stuff sunrise has been pushing out lately |
| ^ It only looks like a semi-serious teen oriented stuff, but it does have most of the serious Gundam themes. The rapid factionalism and the insane dialogues running is the hallmark of Turn A seen here. Turn A however was a bit different show to begin with. To be honest, even his first Gundams are not devoid of comic stunts. |
| It's pretty good actually, a loyal fan of Tomino would only desires a show like this, but if you're not used to Tomino's slow starts and to his half comedic interactions in-between serious moments then it's understandable that you might not like it. |

Slow start? What other title besides Turn A had a slow start ? Almost all are instant get to the choppa-gundam in the very first episode(s) ,gundam that just happened to be in the peaceful/independent colony ofc. |

Well maybe just slow wasn't the best word to express it, I meant it psichologically "slow", so not related to the story but to the characters, like you know Tomino's main characters often tend to be unappealing in the first episodes (with the exception of extraordinary special cases like Shiro in Gundam 08th, who was quite charismatic as far I remember), since there's need of time and events to develop their young minds. I know that basically in every fictional story works this way, but in Gundam especially if you're not used to the franchise, these characters might be a turn off for some people. |

bakuenjincamillo said: Kaioshin_Sama said: No, it's just a mecha series on MAL without a Gen Urobuchi or the like involved. Once you start taking MAL rankings even remotely seriously you've already lost. ^THIS. I remember when AOT made it's debut and it jumped directly to the #18 spot. All that matters is whether YOU like the show. I'll watch low rated shows like Scrapped Princess and come out mouch more satisfied than I was with "masterpieces" AOT, Grave of the Fireflies, and Zankyo no Terror. If you're still not sure whether or not you should pick this up, wait for a good review written by someone who's completed it.. Well I mean considering how far removed my taste in anime is from most people popularity ratings and rankings really just can't be of much used to me. I mean for example one of my absolute favorite series from this season so far has been Garo: Honoo no Kokuin which I think has been spot on in every category so far and is on pace for an 8/10 or 9/10 kind of score. MAL's current stats read Score: 7.211 (scored by 2342 users) Ranked: #23512 Popularity: #1535 Members: 15,847 Favorites: 19 By comparison I had expected to like Parasyte but have largely found it completely underwhelming and blandly produced so far and on pace for a 5/10 or 6/10. MAL esteems it: Score: 8.281 (scored by 6634 users) Ranked: #2202 Popularity: #683 Members: 42,513 Favorites: 145 See the remarkable difference. Basically the general taste is too different for me for rankings and ratings of the general userbase to possibly be of any use to me. My stance is if there's a show out there I think I'll like I'm more likely to find it on my own than to have someone direct me too it. millo said: I heard many people saying bad stuff about this anime, and i believed them, and chose not to watch this, but then i got a day off, and somehow i decide to watch this, and omg this series is sooo interesting.

IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT EVERYONE EXCEPT ME IS STUPID AND HAS BAD TASTE. Most people just like whatever is popular or has popular names involved and rate based on irrelevant factors and preconceptions that dictate reception long before they actually watch the show. Frankly I'm increasingly skeptical of most peoples ability, particularly on MAL, to even comprehend a series that doesn't come pre-packaged in some LN/VN style of writing, format and typical appeal anymore. Sometimes that's not even an issue though, sometimes it literally just comes down to hype and brand recognition. For example I don't think Parasyte could have possibly gotten it's score based on simple execution, but rather got it because it's Madhouse and currently there's a lot of buzz surrounding the studio even though I personally think Hunter x Hunter aside the studio is at the lowest point in terms of respectability of content and effort level I've ever borne witness too. Maybe that says a lot right there though. |

| yep, so far this is terrible. I don't really mind all the stupidity so far cuz it's Gundam and Gundam was always stupid whether it's unintentional (UC timelime) or intentional (G Gundam) but they need to work on the pacing. |
IzayoiSk said: I don't see the first episode yet but is he really bad ? No, it's actually the best series of the year, and possibly the decade. Most people who say it's bad haven't watched much anime besides SAO and SEED. Do not trust the plebeians! Really, it is good though. It's just that most probably aren't used to Tomino's style of anime. I'm on a Tomino kick at the moment watching Dunbine, two other Tomino Gundam series and this, so I guess it just clicks with me. It's actually like Dunbine and Turn-A love child. |
| At least it's better than the horrible Gundam Age. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| Lot of really stupid fake sounding opinions in this thread. Then again MAL. I love how people continue to be completely incapable of just expressing a bloody opinion without resorting to over the top hyperbole like they think it makes their opinion that much stronger and more important somehow. Nagato-sanAOD said: No, it's actually the best series of the year, and possibly the decade. Most people who say it's bad haven't watched much anime besides SAO and SEED. Do not trust the plebeians! I think your focus is off. I honestly think and am largely convinced that after years and seasons upon seasons of exposure to typical late night anime and it's emphasis on otaku culture that the lions share of todays anime fandom that you see on sites like Crunchyroll and MAL just can no longer comprehend or appreciate a series that doesn't come in some pre-packaged VN/LN style of format, content, writing and aesthetics and just have no idea what to make of one if it happens to come along if they even bother to watch them at all. I think that's why it's not even on Crunchyroll cause there's just no way, like absolutely no way that sites crowd is going to have any idea what to think when watching it. It's also unpretentious so people can't invoke the hipster angle with it either so it's just kind of DOA in North America outside of old school fans for sure. |

| 4 episodes in and it's not trying to be anything "special".(The next big thing.) Even though it's mostly Gundam shows, Tomino has a certain style to his anime. Funny, serious, and very random(MS Toilet Seats, a Gundam Laundry machine). So far I am just having fun with the show, and the Ending theme is catchy as heck. MAL is basically an anime checklist for me anyway. If i finish a show I rate it, if I drop it it's never rated simple. |

He's the perfect guy and also a self-insert. But in all honestly its not that bad. It's a bit dated, those early 2000 shows seemed to have aged the worst of any anime tbh. But it is definitely an above-average anime (although that's not saying much, so many shit anime out there). There are a few good scenes in AGE.

Kaioshin_Sama said: Lot of really stupid fake sounding opinions in this thread. Then again MAL. I love how people continue to be completely incapable of just expressing a bloody opinion without resorting to over the top hyperbole like they think it makes their opinion that much stronger and more important somehow. I think your focus is off. Heh, I should have probably not been so hyperbolic, though I do personally feel that it will be my favorite of the decade. Maybe it's just where I'm on a Tomino kick at the moment. Maybe it's because I'm watching the final episodes of Victory and pretty much anything else he's done is much better in comparison. Either way, I'm just not seeing the flaws that others are seeing with the show. I've been seeing criticism that it's got a very slow start, but compared to other popular shows, it's been rather fast paced. Terraformars, F/SN UBW, and Attack on Titan all took (or are taking) some time to get to the actual plot of their respective stories. Heck, I've never seen a Gundam TV series (ZZ doesn't count) where everything is laid out before us and we have instant mobile suit warfare. So I don't get the slow start thing. Kaioshin_Sama said: I honestly think and am largely convinced that after years and seasons upon seasons of exposure to typical late night anime and it's emphasis on otaku culture that the lions share of todays anime fandom that you see on sites like Crunchyroll and MAL just can no longer comprehend or appreciate a series that doesn't come in some pre-packaged VN/LN style of format, content, writing and aesthetics and just have no idea what to make of one if it happens to come along if they even bother to watch them at all. I think that's why it's not even on Crunchyroll cause there's just no way, like absolutely no way that sites crowd is going to have any idea what to think when watching it. It's also unpretentious so people can't invoke the hipster angle with it either so it's just kind of DOA in North America outside of old school fans for sure. Very much agreed. The sad fact of the matter is that North American anime fandom is populated by alot more youngsters than when I first started in. Many of these folks either just don't have the maturity or attention span for older mech series, let alone a new mech show pretending to be old. I'm not trying to broad brush or be hyperbolic with that assertion. Since the old forum I used to go to closed down, I've had trouble trying to find an anime site I actually fit in at. Sadly, most of the NA/ English language sites are just to full of folks who feel like they're ten-fifteen years younger than me. When your young and an newcomer, you just don't have the perspective to actually say something was crap or a masterpiece. There were anime that I thought sucked back when I first started seriously watching, and a decade+ later I revisited the show realizing that I was wrong. That's not to say kids shouldn't be able to share their opinions. I just find it ridiculous that I go around the net seeing folks with Naruto, Attack on Titan, and Sword Art Online avatars criticizing this show. |
| It's honestly a pretty crummy series. I doubt I'll watch it past this week's episode. |
| It is rated higher than Cross Ange even though Cross Ange is miles better in almost every aspect. |

IT'S NOT MY FAULT THAT EVERYONE EXCEPT ME IS STUPID AND HAS BAD TASTE. -Yes,cuz clearly liking something different from you makes someone stupid. -You actually used to let the people decide what you enjoyed or not,and you call others Stupid?????? lol ♥ |
thepath said: It is rated higher than Cross Ange even though Cross Ange is miles better in almost every aspect. Definitely agree, I'm definitely sticking with Cross Ange this season. Even though I'm a mecha fan I haven't really enjoyed a Gundam series since Wing, so I think I should just give up the universe as not for me. |
