>the virgin "gundam"
gets moved around by something else while wobbling its limbs like Thunderbirds
can't really kill anybody
just a statue
actual rocket punch actually flies with actual rockets
would totally kill somebody if you got hit with that shit
also has some statues too for good measure

Which forums are the best for Gundam discussion?
Reccoa's heel-turn during the later part of Zeta was one of the problems I had with the series.
"Hmm, I could complete my mission to help my friends and stop this out of control genocidal fascist army...but OMG that Scirroco is just soooo dreamy!!!"
Of course this is a bit of a problem I have with the characterization of Shiro in 08th MS Team.
"I've witnessed firsthand the kind of atrocities that the Zeon carry out and should otherwise be fully committed to stopping them...but man that Sakhalin woman has got a great ass!"

I dunno, I've always liked /m/ on 4chan
I disagree, I think the show set up well why Reccoa did what she did (compared to other times Tomino did this like Katejina in Victory which wasn't explained well)0 since she was looking for a strong male figure to be with (given the circumstances of her earlier life) and Char basically rejected her. Scirocco was able to be that guy since he's so damn manipulative and had it as his goal the entire time.
But she's a grown ass woman who hypothetically already knows why she joined the AEUG and is fighting the Titans in the first place. If she switches sides to join the space Schustaffel simply because she's not getting the male attention she wants, it's a sign of serious emotional immaturity and lack of moral character. I'm sorry, but the whole thing just struck me as stupid and played to soap opera-esque stereotypes about emotional women.
It's also a stark contrast to the character arc of Zeta Gundam's Best Girl.

They already had warning signs for that. When Reccoa was asked about her motivations, politics didn't matter much for her, and she practically lived for the combat high. She was a nicer, female version of Yazan Gable, and when Scirocco treated her as anything but just another soldier, that got her attention. Sad to say, but there are people like that in real life. You treat them like just another co-worker, and they get bored. Someone gives them the queen treatment, and they get butterflies in their stomach.
Emma was more mature than Reccoa, because she joined the army based on her convictions, whereas Reccoa couldn't give less of a damn about who she's fighting for or against. She was a combat junkie who just wound up on the AEUG side, then jumped ship when someone from the enemy team treated her like a woman instead of a soldier.
Shiro..........is an idealist, pretty much. Which is why he's able to just talk to Aina instead of just gunning her down or promising to gun her down the next time they meet. He's still young enough to be controlled by his hormones, not old enough to become a jaded asshole who can't see the humanity on the other side. He wants to stop atrocities, but that doesn't automatically translate to "I WANNA KILL THEM ZEEK BASTARDS!"
Came in here expecting more discussion of why G Gundam is the best and was disappointed.
My man Domon Kasshu saved his woman, made her a cocktail dress out of his cape, and then blew up Robot Satan with the power of love.

Those last 12-13 episodes are insane on so many levels. It's every plot piece of the show coming together at once with some of the best fights in all mecha anime.
It was the first Gundam show I watched when I got into Gunpla originally, though I haven't yet built any kits from it,

People don't give G Gundam enough credit. All they see is a series they want to make fun of, when really, it had a very nuanced take on both the giant robot and the shonen genres, while at the same time, it had some of the best giant robot battles of the 90s, and it was also a fertile ground for memes.
I have at least four. Shining Gundam, Burning Gundam, Nobell Gundam, and Master Gundam.
God Bless indeed. It was back in those days when people weren't crazy.
