This channel means a lot to me. This is my go to channel while driving to work during the pandemic. Keep this up Gundam Jesus and you'll be rewarded by likes from all of the gundam fans.

When I first got into the Gundam, I watched until G-Reco and dropped after 13 episodes, because I was extremely confused, what and mainly why is something goind on. Currently (few years later) I am trying to check the compilation movies and I am still confused. But I have to admit, mobile suit and spaceship designs are really nice

My head canon is that one day, Tomino went to sunrise with plans for the second cour, and idea for the third and fourth cours, and there was an awkward silence in the room, before one of the executive said "Mr Tomino, this only supposed to last 26 episode". To which Tomino replied "That's a shame, for once in this industry, we are early on production, and already began some key scenes for a lot of episodes". So they had to make the first half with what they already had on development, even if it felt some piece were missing at some point.

I will say with G-Reco: The movies are a far better experience for it. The changes are small, but do a lot to help the pacing and story. THis includes impacting and adjusting Bellri's character.

“The Illuminati, but science based.” Oh, so, like… the actual historical Illuminati from the renaissance! Cool :)

It really is a shame about the story because this Gundam series probably has my favorite designs and art style out of any Gundam

Your line about the 10 Police is repeated in the video, might want to trim that

This show is a masterpiece and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

I like how they remade this into a 5 part movie series and didn't fix anything at all

Aida being hot carried the show for 3 episodes for me then I can't kept on

Spacenoids:

There's an article out there Gen Urobuchi wrote on G-Reco, which he was a huge fan of. He argues that G-Reco is a story about stories, or rather societal meta-narratives constructed towards political ends. Things like "immigrants are taking our jobs" or "group X are an inferior race" that can survive purely as a compelling narrative detached from reality. This is - part - of what makes G-Reco so confusing, the motivations stated by the characters and their factions are intentionally not... fact checked. I watched the series again with this in mind, and while I don't know if Urobuchi is "right" or not his argument made sense with what I was seeing.

Greco is a rare example of a gundam series better served by just making AMVs with the battle scenes then watched as a story

Fun fact 2 - Sunrise says it's after Turn A (which makes more sense) and that dark century between UC & RG is the Turn A timeline

G reco is definitely the most Tomino show in all the best and worst ways, and I actually really enjoyed it!

The one issue with G-Reco.

Definitely agree on how confusing this series is. The story was such a jumbled mess that it made it really difficult to get through this show. Compared to ZZ, 00, Turn A, or IBO, which I just instantly binged, G Reco was such a pain to get through

This is a series I struggled with and gave up on after about 5 episodes. Thank you for going through that pain for us!

I have watched so many of your vids and some of them more than a few times. Everytime you drop a gundam video, I’m stoked

I absolutely adore G Reco. It's definitely a little carried by the art direction for me, but i really like how it gives you all the pieces of this setting and you have to puzzle everything together. I've watched through a couple times and even through this video some things clicked that i missed. I think it's a show with a strong sense of freedom, if that makes sense. And again, i love every design in this show
