> Please suggest some Gundam-like shows to watch > > Hi all, I came back to anime after a long hiatus thanks to Witch from Mercury. > > Since then, I've watched a bunch of anime - including many masterpieces - but nothing could scratch that itch like a Gundam series could. > > So now I'm look for more Gundam shows to watch. > > It doesn't have to be Gundam exactly (or even anime!). As long as it shares the main features, I would consider it to be Gundam. > > --- > > From what I observed, the following themes are essential to Gundam series: > > War - To be specific, it shows how war is bad, and that nobody truly wins in a war. > > Child soldiers - Usually forced to fight, or manipulated into fighting (by people who would usually get revealed to be the real villains later). > > Politics - What started the war, or kept the war going. The politicians tend to be the ones manipulating others. > > "Mecha" - I am using the term mecha loosely here, because it doesn't really have to be a robot that's piloted. It can simply be some kind of enhancement or weapon of war, or something symbolic. > > Tragedy - In war, people are obviously going to die. Personally I would prefer if the main cast gets a happy ending though. > > Discrimination - It can be discrimination over race, class, etc. > > Other themes that I have noticed are common but not really essential include: > > romance subplot - Looks like in war, love gives people hope, as well as the drive to keep on living. > > dystopian setting - It could be the lasting effect of previous wars, or the consequences of politics. > > Finally, these are not really themes, but I've noticed these trends: > > - there's usually an ensemble cast > - the protagonist's team tend to switch sides in the later stage of the show to fight against the true villains > - the mechas would progressively get upgraded over the course of the show > > --- > > To avoid overlaps, here are the Gundam-like series that I have watched / plan to watch. > > Watched: > > - 86 > - Darling in the Franxx > - Cyberpunk: Edgerunners > > Planning to watch (based on hearsay about their similarity to Gundam): > > - Code Geass > - Gurren Lagann > - Attack on Titan > - Cross Ange > > --- > > Thanks in advance for the recommendations.

- Playing the GB4 demo
I haven't played any Breaker games before. Seems okayish. Controls are better than SDBA at least. This is probably nostalgia glasses but it still doesn't feel as crisp as the PS2 Versus games. Feels kinda mashy/mushy. Or, you know... skill issue. 😒
The editor lets you get really in the weeds with coloring and markings. But holy crap the button commands are all over the place. All the fun is in the top half... no mixing and matching legs and waists.
Looks and runs well enough on Switch, but the load times leave a lot to be desired. And the lack of cross platform play is killer.
In an earlier gaming age this would be a day one purchase for me just to say, "Yes, more like this please, and keep improving." But I'm wary due to the prevalence of endless monetization and drip-feeding content, especially with the focus on online play, events, etc. I think I'm gonna let this play out for a bit. But I'm glad I got a chance to give it a go.

I was very confused until I saw the Bandai Namco logo and remembered both IPs are owned by the same entity. Now I'm only a little confused.

- So I watched Seed Freedom [possible spoilers]
I have a love hate relationship with Gundam movies. I love that they exist and that they've given us some iconic moments, but I hate how rushed they feel most of the time. Seed Freedom is no exception.
🦜✝️🥜
The first act is definitely rushed. The players and their relationships (and how things have changed since Destiny) are barely set up. But damn does it ever go hard. And by the end, they hit just about every Seed trope possible. Whether that's a good or bad thing is definitely a matter of taste, but there is no doubting that they were committed to the bit. I had a good time, and everyone cheered when ______ got his ass beat.
If you hated Seed/Destiny, I don't see this movie changing any minds. But if you enjoyed that universe, it's worth seeing IMO. It's quite possibly the most Seed thing ever. I give it 4 V-fins.

Posting this as I was prompted by a memory in !metal@lemmy.world . 08th Team is one of my favorite Gundam shows, and Nightwish is one of my favorite bands. I think the editing here is top notch.
Hard to believe this came out ~20 years ago. Rubyeye, if you're still out there, cheers.
- Seems like a bit of a downgrade
On a related note, I have successfully gotten my nephew into Gundam... but his 14 year old Transformers-obsessed brain simply refuses to accept that Optimus would get urfed by even a GM beam spray pistol, let alone a newtype snipe.

Heavy spoilers for Gundam X, plus a long-ish in-video ad for some licensed Gundam Seed gear. I wasn't expecting too much out of this but Kakarot's humor carried it for me. RIP Unit 3.
