I dunno, what did you like most about 0079?

>>14378273
But anon, all of gundam is bad.

>>14378273
Definitely watch Dougram next.

>Consistent characterization
>realistic potrayaly of war without resorting to gory imagery
>nice designs
>light hearted down time for characters
>pretty quick pacing and story
>moral ambiguity between both sides of the conflict i.e. no clear cut bad guys

>>14378273

As far as the Gundam franchise goes, I prefer Turn-A, but there's no denying that the story of 0079 is one of the best because it was very character-driven and the world-building framed it well (not all that different from Turn-A). I like the pacing of the movies over the TV show because it cuts down on the filler, but that's just me. One could make the argument that Amuro is a Mary Sue, but he's a Mary Sue done well in my opinion.

I really wish Bandai would commission an updated version of 0079 with better animation, but if they don't have any new designs made to sell plastic, that's probably never going to happen.

>no clear cut bad guys

I'd say that there were some pretty obvious bad guys in 0079.

>>14378328
>no clear cut bad guys
Hahaha gotcha Black Knight

Generally I'd agree though. 0079 does a great job of humanising Zeon. Little things like having zeeks all refer to each other by name go a long way.

Have you watched both Turn A and G-Reco yet? They're both extensions of UC, and are very good. They're both written by the same guy, Yoshiyuki Tomino. Turn A is a lot slower though, but is very character driven, which actually works in its favor.

Working my way up from the /m/ Gundam Guide. Going to take a break from Gundam to check out other series before binging more Gundam. Turn-A and G-Reco both look really good. I kinda take all the shit G-Reco gets on /m/ at face value since /m/ shits on everything. That art kinda trumps a lot of the naysaying for me.

>no clear cut bad guys
There were likable people on the bad team but around the time they started chanting "Sieg Zeon!" was when the line between good and bad guys was clearly drawn.

>>14379487
Honestly, there's some valid complaint about G-reco such as the pacing. But when I see retards bashing the dialogue and then posting obvious metaphor, I think the show also went overhead of a lot of people.

Still one of my favourite gundam, tho, it was pretty fun.

Turn A is just the best.

Don't we already have something like that in the form of the movie trilogy? And anyways, we also have the Tomino novels and the Origin manga to go by for decent retellings anyways (even if they're printed and all that jazz).

>>14378322

BOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIING

>>14378328

Nobody is innocent. Every character in the entirety of gundam is bad. Just like all of it's fans.

>>14379021
>Turn A and G-Reco
One is tryhard babby's first "Pride and Prejudice", the other is a rehash of King Gainer.

By that logic, you're begging for them to give it the same QUALITY animation as all of their recent shit.

>>14378273
>so far nothing has measured up to the original series
Wait...what?
Are you saying that Mobile Suit Gundam doesn't measure up to the original Gundam series? How does that work when 0079 *IS* the original Gundam.

>>14380926
Wait...nvm.
I just realized you're saying nothing else in UC measures up to 0079.

>>14380196
>Don't we already have something like that in the form of the movie trilogy?

Not really. The movies were just a compilation with a few re-animated frames but used mostly the same frames in general.

>>14380908

Regardless of the personal feelings you may have about recent animation works, it still looks better than '70s era limitations that 0079 had.

>>14380971

>recent animation works

I disagree. If G-Reco, IBO, and Build Fighters Try are any examples to go by, we've taken a step BACK. Those three are about on the same par as the 70's era limitations.

Oh but let's just assume Sunrise actually has the decency to give a 0079 remake as much thought and budget as Unicorn.

>Crappy CG
>Dated character models in up-to-date art style that doesn't mesh well at all

You're better off just cringing at how Origin tries so hard to be a Miyazaki film.
