the problem with gundam is there is too much of it to watch

well good news

kinda had to be there to start it!

IBO is entirely separate

from everything else

it is fully self-contained, and therefore a good starting point :))

dude, so is all the steins gate animes (other than robitcs note shares a character with SG)

so we know where my stance is on that

since I watched all of those

also I watch things in order of release only

as god intended

yeah good luck getting into gundam like that lol

starting with the original 70s show sounds like fucking ass

yeah and thus it is never happening

heh

I'd have to actually run out of other reasonably sized animes

oh here have this too though

the entire ost goes super hard honestly

Yeah I have listened to a lot of the IBO ost I am realizing

its super fucking good

that song actually gives me chills, plays during one of the most hype and also simultaneously most frustrating scenes of almost any show I've seen

the ending of IBO as a whole makes me fucking mad, but in a good way sorta

I hate that it ends in the way it does, but it's super fitting for the story as a whole

Oh to go back to mili posting I lied

youtube recommended me this mili song and I listened to it most recently

some song for some fag men gacha? idk what it is

good song though

IBO also has space Guts

that is all

ok so what mili song has your favorite lore though

>paying attention to the lyrics

also opium or bathtub mermaid

based kaze pays attention to the lyrics

I listen to noises as instrumentation

bathtub mermaid is fucked

I really like ga1ahad and scientific witchery

is all I'll say

which is why I like jap songs because I can just pretend its not real words

summoning 101 is interesting too

As a true mili fan

and yeah that is also one of the reasons I like scientific witchery so much 👍

branding movie has the best lore

Combi lore is sick and twisted

as a final note on the whole gundam conversation though, IBO is honestly better seen as a standalone show with the gundam name tucked onto it, it's very different from the rest of the franchise

if either of you ever wanna trade watching a show with me you're getting that :^)

scientific witchery is great b/c it's a dialog too

it's fucking sick

there's at least one scene of a dude grabbing and ripping the cockpit out of another suit and crushing it before throwing it away

that is the last I'll say on the matter

I literally would not trade for a single show because the completionist in me does not allow for that

so it'd be all of gundam, and I'd have to force you to watch an equally long list of things!

lol

trade it for to love ru :^)

(ignoring the fact that I'm gonna watch that regardless)

that is like a 1:50 trade

the 86 for steins gate one I did with bopit was a 1:2, and thats accounting for the fact that bopit took 1 hour per episode

not accounting for that fact that

I am reading the whole series

oreimo was I think, iirc, 1.8 days of anime to watch it and all related material

that would be closeish to to-love ru

I think

rough scratch work, to-love ru is like 1.1 days

as of 2016, the combined total for gundam was apparently 20.8 days

according to a reddit post

thats so fucked

all of one piece is about 16 days

there's a lot of filler shit in early gundam

shit adds up

there's something to be said about the fact that they condensed the entire first season into 3 movies later on and didn't miss a single important story beat lol

lmao

Am I your only 1:1?

Yeah I think so

although you purposefully made it a 1:1 trade by adding 2 shows

wow people are greedy

to be fair to bopit

he literally only wanted me to watch SG

Idk if the spirit of what he said even included zero

zero was pretty good
