Anno cooked with this one. All Zaku's are Bastards

Usual caveat that corporations aren't our friends, including Bandai Namco (Interpret This mario-finger Bandai Executives), Joyce's quote from Disco Elysium, etc. But I had the chance to see the preview movie in theatres and this show has got to be my most anticipated anime of the year so far.

What were the things you disliked, if you don’t mind me asking?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure I'm forgetting some, but here's a list

I don't like when the mechs have little drones
I don't like when they control the mecha with their minds, they should be flipping switches and shit
I don't like duels, I get their utility to the story, but the mechs should be getting more indiscriminately destructive as they get more powerful and dueling just doesn't work with that
They shouldn't get too close to the original UC story, even in an alternate universe, there is just too much meaning loaded into characters like Char for them to fit in a new story
The mecha don't feel big enough, one of them falling should destroy more stuff around it
Newtype stuff should be more in the background
It seems like a pretty space-based story, and mecha battles on land are just better

Ah ok, I asked because I was worried I had overlooked something problematic but these seem to be (totally fair) personal preferences- only thing I'll say is that this show is a "What if" scenario of the original UC, that is actually going to lean on and do some interesting things with stuff like Char's characterization so definitely give next week's ep a shot
