Gundam G no Reconquista Scans
Member Opinions
I didn't think it was possible but I have found a Gundam series that has overthrown SEED Destiny's reign as my "Most Hated Gundam Series". Let me put it this way - if I have to search YouTube just to get an explanation on the basic opening plot, (i.e. "In the year RC XXX, the Earth Sphere has so-and-so founded by blah, blah, blah) I'm sorry, but you've already failed in basic storytelling. The plot (or lack thereof) is ULTRA convoluted and character arcs and motivations are all random and make no sense, and even when you do learn of the plot (after repeated viewings and googling) I'm still left with the basic question of "And I'm supposed to care WHY?" The only saving grace this series has is in its art and music.
Even director Tomino himself admitted to screwing up during production and thoroughly apologized for the series. Hell, he even went so far as to give himself a score of 15/100!!!! It's own director admits that it's an utter train-wreck.
If I could sum this series up in one word, IMO, it would be "pretentious". As if the series in itself is saying, "Don't know what's going on? Learn through the actions and exposition and try to keep up cuz we're not waiting for you to catch up! There's a lot of in-universe terms and dialogue but you should be able to figure it out on your own. If not you clearly missed something but we gotta keep this show moving! C'mon, you need to watch the next episode!"
How about "No."
