Char was a hero, and will always be a hero

I thought you need to pick up pace narrating this video until I don't 😵‍💫

I prefer Macross where it was more on Military Stuff rather than magical songs ang lasers

I beg to differ.

May not be able to skip the whole first half, but we could always nitpick the important episodes out of them. Let's be real, there's going to be filler.

Can Sapce organizations please go five minutes withut trying to drop shit on earth?!

Wonder what ever happened to that Quattro Bajeena guy? He was a really cool dude. 😎

I miss the days were Macross was militaristic like Top Gun, never was a big fan on the new ones that emphasizes on Magical songs and concerts

No guitar playing mecha pilots and band (Macross 7). No little girls singing and dancing around a mecha in flight and battle (Macross Delta). A nod to the original Macross and some fan service, great music playing an important role on STAGE and BROADCASt and not inside mecha, and those mecha were awesome. Macross Frontier is everything I wanted in a Macross series.

i loved macross 2, the whole war journalist angle blew my child mind. it was my first example media-controlled messaging. silvie gena was a badass, loved the hot-headed pilot ace being gender flipped. the emulator songs were haunting, instead of inspiring heroism in your allies and confusion in enemy ranks these emulators songs inspired suicidal tendencies in allies and fear in your enemies. the character feff is an unrated villain his design as well as his mechs designs were awesome.

While I really liked the movie, I love your alternative version. That said the narrative Gundam is an excellent design and in no way a reused mould.

And, music by Yoko Kanno seals the deal.

Background music ,please?

ost ?

I feel like this show has most gundam tropes but done worse but its packaged in a way that most casual anime fans can watch.

Transgressive? 🙄🙄🙄 No clickbait titles please.

3 most important things on a macross series -love triangle -idols singing -epic universal war occuring while the idols sing

I dunno man, that Char guy seems pretty decent, he has like, super cool mobile suits too, I think we should give him a chance maybe

MF e Mzero sao os meus favoritos

Have someone else do U.C., geeez. And let Tomino do whatever he want. Successful or not. Just let the guy be an artist and storyteller. But no, capitalism. Money. Sigh…

Honestly, this video is about an hour too short.

Now I just hope the manga gets fully translated at some point

Remind me too much of a Eureka 7

You should check out the 'prequel' of sorts called Betterman. It's more of a horror/kaiju series with a back story on par with Evangelion. One of the supporting characters became a supporting character in Gaogaigar, and the two leads appeared in Final. While not an actual mecha series, it is part of Gaogaigar, and a tangential part of the Yuusha series. Betterman actually aired on G4's anime block in the early 00s, so there is a dub floating around. Finally, there's a manga that ties the two series together, and has been partially scanlated.

I’ve seen the clip at 6:12 as a GIF in so many videos and now I know the source, thanks!

The problem with Zeta Gundam is Chars Attack which completely hardcore ignores/contradicts Zeta Gundam and everything kind of goes off Chars counterattack (except ZZ) which practically takes Z out of canon

The fact that the second story is actually a direct sequel from the tv series version because it follows the events that happens after macross 30 where they sent back to their word in the image of the protagonist of the character so there’s some changes in the story instead of the usual thing happening in the tv series it’s actually mind blowing

I'm pretty sure that's the whole arc of char in the entirety of Gundam UC is that He could've been a Hero, He could've been better, He could've been someone that was a Hero. But the underlying tragedy of his entire character is that he didn't, he lost hope when Kamille who to him represented hope literally got his soul stolen and left him braindead for the rest of the franchise. His entire story revolves around this flirting with that fact that Char very well could be a better person, a hero, an actual decent human being but he lets his fear, insecurity, and loss control him into a villain.

I sometimes feel like that I'm one of the few that found Gundam Unicorn overrated and only an ok story. And yes I am a UC fan.

Fun Fact: This and the VF-27 were made because of the YF-19. The YF-19 was notoriously hard to control despite the airframe performing well at high speeds because the average pilot couldn't handle the G force while maneuvering at high speeds. VF-25 solves this problem by utilizing ISC to effectively store the G force in another dimension to slowly trickle out over time and EX-gear helps enhance the pilot's strength to handle the few G's it couldn't store. YF-27 solves the same problem by cybernetically enhancing the human pilot into a super human that can handle the raw G-force without the EX-gear. Not surprisingly, EX-gear became the standard for all future variable fighters.

Can we get an episode about needing salt?

There's also a manga.

Rule 1 of watching Universal Century Gundam: Never sympathize with the Zeon. The Principality of Zeon signed its Declaration of Independence with the blood of two billion innocent people. They are the bad guys.

With conclusion of Hathaway's Flash, Bandai will run out of the last truly UC story. Even if they tried to make another new UC story like Unicorn, Unicorn's legacy and the amount of retcon they had to do to fit that in makes me think Bandai knows better than to challenge it. Plus, Tomino basically passed the torch onto the next generation after G-Reco failed. I believe this is where Macross comes in. It's a real robot realer than Gundam, and made by someone who joined the industry thanks to the original Gundam, so there are some similarities, and the same ingredients for success. Importantly, Kawamori is still writing sequels to the original timeline, and it seems with this movie's revelation of Megaroad, we're just seeing the tip of the iceberg to come. It would certainly give Bandai an already established franchise to grow, instead of all their new mecha projects that failed like Valvrave or AMAIM. Macross Plus recently had a limited screening in Korea, and with Harmony Gold's evil clutches slowly waning, I believe soon, Macross will have a great opportunity to go global like Gundam. It's a miracle how Macross managed to survive so long, but I hope the golden age of Macross is ahead of us.

I wish Macross was broadcast in the US. What does OVA stand for?

It answered the most important question. Do mobile suits have toilets? Yes. Yes they do.

Hey Absha I know you're a Gundam fans, but if I can request...can you do a breakdown video, about a manga called Gundam F90 Fastest Formula ?

Such an amazing soundtrack! One of Yoko Kanno's best, only second to Cowboy Bebop.

Tomino? More like Trollmino

I always heard rhat ZZ gets better in the second half but i dont see it. It sounds like a show that was not properly planned out. It wanted to eat its cake and have it too. Be lighthearted & fun but still continue the serious and violent story of Zeta but never the two shall meet

If i get the super messiah, can it still be able to change to normal messiah? I wanna get the kit, but the price of super messiah is cheaper than the normal messiah..

I just wish they got Hathaway's hair color right other than that, perfect.

Por que ya no haces videos en español?

I always see Macross as the spreading of culture at its core - good and bad. The original is obviously earth culture to the Zentradi. Zero is about the 1st world bringing their war culture to a small isolated island tribe who live in peace and know nothing of advanced tech and weaponry that it brings. Frontier is about the Galaxy bringing the human culture of greed and ambition to the Vajra - an insectoid race with no real social culture of their own. I guess the Delta series is Windermerian culture Vs Human culture (honestly cant remember any thing about that crap). Zettai Live!!! was Madam M shaping culture and Heimdall (?) trying to break free.

Bro, did you paint this or it's the bare plastic, with decals and top coat? It looks painted. But I see some parts that aren't (like the canopy). Either way you made the kit look excellent in the video!

I don't call the movie "Char's Counterattack", I call it "Char's Insurrection", Char is a terrorist and a traitor, with a pretty weird career, from vengeful ace to outcast to political leader to some kind of religious prophet. He deserved to be brought to justice and be hanged as a war criminal, not be elevated to martyr.

I believe Char is pure, and you said why yourself, though we came to different conclusions. CCA is Char losing faith in humanity and lashing out childlishly in the most obviously wrong way he can think of. He's pure because he never really grew past that stage of a child, and like his final "Lalah could have been a mother to me" line suggests, was stunted in his development because of his trauma of losing his mother. He never truly managed to understand himself or anyone else, and Amuro was the person he came closest to understanding, so that's why he's so desperate to make Amuro understand him in CCA. Char is nothing if not naive, at least from an emotional standpoint, because deep down he's still a lonely child who can't connect to the people around him. That tragic childlike innocence behind his image of a war hero is what makes Char pure.

Gundan F91 Part 2 & Crossbone Gundam anime when ??

You sound like _"Your soul is weighed down by gravity!"_ You provided the ps1 zeta game (12:02) that shows char watch Camille be broken at the end of the gryps conflict. That's where he changed and gave up all hope for humanity to peacefully turn into newtypes... The man did what he had to do. It wasn't perfect, but the federation never changed. Might is right like the Titans; that's never going to change. It's naive to think so otherwise... That's why full frontal was the "perfect" char. He was all about getting the job done without petty human interference or rivalries...
