Anime Watching Club: Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 (ep 1-6)

[Momogari]

The first choice in the poll was Macross Delta, but it turns out that's not readily available legally.

So we're gonna wtch Mobile Suit Gundam 0079, the original series that first came out in (1979). It appears to be available on Hulu and on youtube.

We may not watch the whole thing--we'll evaluate interest in continuing it as we go. Let's watch the first three episodes.

Oh yeah!

[lolin]

It's... on Hulu?!

Must be in English. I may have to actually try at this one even though IDK if I'm part of this club or not >.>

Yeah anything to do with Macross has trouble getting a western release. Even the early Macross episodes had to be licenced under the rebranded Robotech in the US. It's a real shame because I think you guys would have enjoyed it.

[lolin]

Fair warning: you will probably get annoyed with Amuro unless you put yourself in his shoes. He's basically a prototype Shinji Ikari.

Also it doesn't help that Robotech is basically an entirely different show. I think it cuts up three different anime near the end of it, so it's NOT the original SDF Macross.

[Elgood81]

watching episode 1 now

[Elgood81]

  Spoiler:  

so Amuro find the manual for the mobile suit but rather than take cover while the Zeon are attacking he lays there and reads it?!?!?

[lolin]

  Spoiler:  

yes because amuro is probably somewhat autistic and loves the shit outta machines especially considering who built gundam. also it's anime, suspend your disbelief, pretend it's johnathan joestar pulling himself up a floor in his house with A GIANT METAL SPEAR stabbing him in the shoulder despite that being biologically impossible. suspension of disbelief is necessary for (probably) all anime because it's not like we're reading hard science fiction. this is giant robots fighting each other, it's inherently unrealistic because if you're going to build a war machine it's not going to be human shaped it's going to be a bomb launching metal gear if it's anything like that.

damn i am snippy today and probably in no mood to post, sorry elgood

[lolin]

okay i'll just roll outta this thread

[Expendable]

Read the Robotech novel series, it was interesting.

[mention=881]lolin[/mention] You're part of it now. Muahahaha!!!!

[Momogari]

Oh it's dubbed on youtube too. I like this narrator's voice though. Hopefully it stays good.

EDIT: no, it's not great. I'm gonna try to find a subbed version.

oh, found one. that was easy.

[Momogari]

HARO HAS ARMS AND LEGS WTF
