Machu definituve cucking incoming. What do you like the most about Deux?
Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX
Shuji will fuck both Machu and Nyaan. They're both his wives.
Give me the Sinanju, and I'll defeat Machu, Shuji, and Deux at the same time.
Deux's pale skin, petite, sickly almost fragile build.
pasty white tiny butt
Where is Sayla? In the AEUG?
Guys, I just love Zeta Gundam tbqh.
I almost want to run away and stop watching because I'm too invested in seeing the next episode in a weird EVA like way
Built for hardcore, rough rape
Zeta anime? She's living rich as a doctor. Insanely rich.
Zeta Defined Manga? Same as the anime, but she reunited with her brother when he went to earth.
Exactly
I have faith in Machu's ass
Once all is said and done, what lesson will Machu take away from all this? Will she even live to take a lesson away from her actions in the first place?
Are AUs still banned here like in last thread?

— How did you approach Machu, Nyaan and Shuji’s characters when writing the script?
Machu is sort of a textbook protagonist, so it went relatively smoothly with her. In the first episode, she’s introduced as a regular girl living her simple, daily life, and then, all of a sudden, she sneaks inside of a Mobile Suit. It might seem like she’s a bit reckless and eccentric… but in my interpretation, the most unique trait of Machu’s personality is that she doesn’t have prejudices.
— She doesn’t have prejudices?
Side 6 is basically a normal, everyday world, somewhat resembling present day Japan. But there’s an area inside the colony where immigrants —both legal and illegal— and refugees live, people who are relatively discriminated against within the colony. Even in a society with such a dark side, Machu doesn’t hold any prejudice towards the refugees and the illegal immigrants there. Whether that’s because she fundamentally lacks the concept of prejudice, or because she simply doesn’t want to acknowledge it, even I am not totally sure.
If a normal girl were to come in contact with a smuggler of illegal Installer Keys like Nyaan, she’d probably report her to the police immediately. But not Machu, she’d just go ask for the “compensation for her broken smartphone” or something. This is to say, Machu basically considers Nyaan to be her equal. In this sense, inside that Side 6, she’s certainly a peculiar girl.
— I see.
It’s exactly because Machu sees Nyaan as her equal that the moment she notices the bruise on Nyaan’s face left by the military police, she feels so angry inside. She’s thinking, “Why is the police beating up a girl about the same age as me!?”. And then, she gets even angrier at Nyaan’s attitude of it being only natural that they’re being violent against someone like her. Machu’s inner anger reached its limit when the military police Mobile Suits started to arbitrarily destroy the buildings in the refugee settlements, with the excuse that “they’re illegal anyways”. It’s at that point that she decides to sneak in the Mobile Suit —it was a manifestation of all the anger she was bottling up deep inside herself.
Actually, it’s very similar to the anger Amuro felt in the first episode of “Mobile Suit Gundam” [機動戦士ガンダム, 1979], when he saw Fraw Bow’s family getting bombed. That’s why I believe I was able to get Machu to step into the Mobile Suit in the proper, traditional way of a Gundam protagonist.
— So, she might not be hot-tempered, but in terms of sense of justice…
She has one. Perhaps, that sensation is something very closely linked to the abilities of Newtypes.
— Writing the dialogues is a big part of the scriptwriter’s job, after all.
Right. Gundam as a series doesn’t have many characters with signature lines or catchphrases, but I thought it would be better for Shuji to have one; that’s when I came up with his “…that’s what the Gundam is saying” line. Basically, I interpreted the Director’s order that “he doesn’t talk much” as “he doesn’t express his own thoughts much”. So, using the “that’s what the Gundam is saying” line, it’s not Shuji who’s talking, but the Gundam. And Shuji comes across as a character who doesn’t speak all that much.
And then of course, I also hoped that the line would stick with the viewers and catch on (laughs)
I shoud've applied to become a member of the audit bureau like my mom and none of this would have ever happened
shinseiki.blog
— The place where the protagonists, Machu and the others live, Izuma Colony, is an interesting setting. Starting from the name itself, it has a Japanese flavor to it, and overall it somewhat resembles modern day Japan.
There are two reasons why I decided on such a setting. The first one is that I wanted to use Japanese language. At the time of “Top wo Nerae 2!” [Gunbuster 2: Diebuster (トップをねらえ2！DIEBUSTER), 2004, it was prohibited to show (Japanese) characters and writings, and in terms of direction, it was a nightmare to work around it (wry smile). I thought that using written characters would have made it so much easier to express many different things.
The other reason is, if you watch any Universal Century episode up until now, it’s clear that English is the official language. However, there are a few colonies, like Moon Moon or the Texas Colony for example, rooted in a special and distinctive culture of their own. So, I thought it would be fine if there was a colony whose customs were heavily influenced by Japanese ones. Side 6 from the first “Mobile Suit Gundam” was originally designed as a caricature of Japan. I thought it would be okay if there was a colony with many residents of Japanese origin.
— And what about the time setting?
To tell the truth, I wanted Machu and the others to be born after the end of the war; I thought they would give off a stronger impression of being a “new generation” that way. But in the end, things happened and we decided on UC 0085 as the time setting.
— I find that “I wanted Machu and the others to be born after the end of the war” really interesting. What are your thoughts and feelings on dealing with a post-war scenario?
Rather than a post-war, I’d say it’s a Cold War. When I was a kid, we were right in the mist of the Cold War; the US and the USSR never fought each other directly, but it felt like the next war could break out at any moment. There were novels or movies about the USSR army suddenly landing on our territory and turning Japan into a battlefield, and back then, it didn’t feel all that unrealistic.
When we decided on UC 0085 as the time setting for GQuuuuuuX, a certain member of the staff pointed out that “You’re doing Gundam but you’re not writing about war?”. All the previous Gundam up until now have portrayed a war of some sort, be it a full-scale war between different powers, or a factional struggle within the military, almost like a civil war. So I thought that writing about a “Cold War” would have worked as well. I thought that by depicting the feelings I’ve experienced under the Cold War, I could convey a unique atmosphere unlike that of any other Gundam before.
— It’s true that, despite not being directly at war, there’s palpable tension between the two factions, and the atmosphere in the colony turns really tense just by the arrival of a battleship like the Sodon. It really gives the impression of a Cold War. Those under 40 today only became aware of the world after the Cold War was already over, so they don’t know what that atmosphere felt like.
adults suck
Worried the writers don't realize Machu needs a bare ass spanking
she's gonna overdose on kirakira and get braindead veggie end
That’s right. I think (Yoshiyuki) Tomino-san’s generation is the last to have known the experience of war throughout their childhood. My generation, of course, didn’t experience actual war, but we do understand the feelings of the Cold War. Naturally, conveying those sensations to the current, young generation is very difficult, but in today’s reality as well war has broken out in Ukraine, and conflicts and civil wars continue unabated in the Middle East. It’s not outside the realm of possibility for the current situation to escalate in a world-wide conflict. I believe that, to some extent, the prospect of a “future war” between nations has unfortunately become a reality among the young people of today.
That’s something that hasn’t been felt for about 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, isn’t it?
— Indeed, I understand the feeling that the thread of terrorism has taken us back to the terror of the Cold War.
I think a world where a space colony, while certainly not depriving the characters of their freedom, still somewhat feels like a claustrophobic place that’s tying them down, is reminiscent of your previous works…
Well, that’s the influence of what I felt like when I was young. I grew up in the middle of the rice fields in Niigata, and even though the horizon stretched out in all directions, it still somehow felt “narrow”. Of course, if I walked all the way past the mountain, I’d eventually reach Tokyo, but that wasn’t actually feasible, was it? I felt like I was trapped inside my small, familiar garden, and I wondered, “Am I going to spend my whole life in this place?”. I depicted that fear in “FLCL” [フリクリ, 2000], as well as in this work.
It’s not like Machu thinks that “A space colony is too narrow, I hate it”, but she feels like “The world has to be much more vast, more free…”. She could, in principle, go to other nearby colonies, but in reality, she doesn’t. She lacks the freedom to say “whenever I want to go, I can do it in an instant!”; that’s especially true for children. I’m depicting the same things I myself felt in the past.
— So, that’s really a theme you want to focus on in the works you direct?
It’s rather because I want young people to watch my works. When I ponder what kind of feelings the youth of today would actually feel, I think it has to be something similar to the sense of confinement, or the fear and the anxiety about the future I too felt back then.
— Machu being bothered that the gravity inside a space colony isn’t real is too an extension of those feelings?
That in particular incorporates another slightly different thematic. Is the Red Gundam that Shuji pilots the real one? Are Newtypes and their abilities real to begin with? Is the alternative world of GQuuuuuuX itself real at all?
This idea of whether something is “real or not” is present in many ways within the story, and I believe it might be another element especially interesting for the young viewers.
needs a suit almost ten years more advanced to beat some teenagers
Give me the Unit 4 with that beautiful gatling and it'll get it done under 4 minutes
Gquuux has motivated to buy a Perfect Grade after countless of HGs, one MG, and one RG.
Where THE FUCK is ramba ral?
Only the homosexual one
Only the homosexual one
That’s most AUs besides G, Wing, and Seed though…
wing
not homosexual
??????
What's the appeal of this boy type?
Forgot pic
I'm convinced I have every deux fanart in existence saved in my computer and I dare anyone to post a deux picture I don't have yet
Wing
Homosexual
Middle Aged Millenial women’s headcanons don’t count.
There is no appeal. Only male writers create boys who are loyal and subservient to women. They don't realize that's not what real women want hence the reason why the love interest in shoujo manga is a manipulative, evil bastard 90% of the time. They prefer bad boys or boys they can fix.
I'm opening up paint right now to make a Deuxdle that I will save but never upload so that it's impossible for you to collect every fanart in existence
nyaan was especially cute last ep
Her design is the only one I find attractive. The rest look like retarded pokemon characters.
Want to use Japanese language
Fill it with like 5 other languages anyways
But Nyaan is a pokemon character as well.
People like their sticks.
Her embarrassment over her kira kira outburst was cute but I also hope she accepts that side of herself to become even cuter
They're deliberately portraying a multicultural mosaic that reflects the reality of Japan and Asia at large including the influence of colonialism in another nod toward its treatment of contemporary issues like refugee crises and immigration lol
Machu vs Deux in the upcomming episode
I could beat all of them in the S Gundam at the same time
This felt like the right art work for the series and thread
The AEUG is a work of fiction.
Zeta era newtypes had way more rizz than GQuX. Bet we won't even get a single kiss this time around.
One time I fucked this south east asian girl that looked like Nyan. She even gave me the same disappointed stare when we were done.
He never even fucked her. Kira Yamato is the only Gundam protagonist that got laid on screen.
Did Reco have a kiss? Gundam hasn't had one since IBO........Movies aside
Pic related is what Shuji would be like if the girls kissed him.
Does Amuro kissing anyone on 0079? I don't even remember if Lalah and Char kiss was on the tv series or just the movie.
Kira actually got laid yet these lames are talking about a kiss. lololol
Amuro and Char were fucking in Zeta.
In the movies Nug actually fucks Bellri.
The fuck, where is this from
Why the fuck is she so ROUND? A literal perfect circle.
At this point just watch Cross ange
In Gundam Seed season 1 it is revealed they are fucking.
Then in the OVA of the series they actually show them fucking.
So round, and boyish. My hetero side feels absolutely nothing with her.
Men love round women
After one incident, it feels like Machu, who no longer has sparkling eyes, is on a flight to Earth.
NTR avoided
More like Gihren operative removing Kycilia mole.
I know oldtypes hate it, but love the graffiti motif of GQu6x. I know some people want something more traditional, like War in the Pocket or Stardust, but even the ED shows so much vivid pops of color, love it.
Not only does Kira get laid but he cucks his best friend in the process.
I forgot....but didn't this bitch only slept with Kira because her dad got killed in episode 9?
she slept with kira to motivate him to kill more coordinators who she hates for killing his father.
Abuse doujin incoming
*her father
Flay was racist against coordinators and once her father died she snapped.
So she plotted to get revenge on coordinators by breaking up with her boyfriend and pussy whipping Kira into murdering more coordinators.
Now I remember. Man, I miss Flay. She's was interesting one, she was a bitch, but she was interesting
Gundam used to have good writing
It's sad what this franchise has become.
What can you tell me about this guy? Is he cool? is he asexual too?
the only newtype who fail to electrocution gimmick
You do realize she realized she had done wrong and desperately wanted to apologize to Kira and her friends for what she had done. She was shot in the back before she got a chance.
He is a retard ass skirt chaser with bad taste in woman.
He's a terrorist.
a cuck too huh
He's Hathaway Noa, son of the famous Bright Noa and Mirai Yashima. He had an autism melty from his crush getting killed and went so nuclear he killed Amuro's gf.
How one can get cucked when said girl never gave a shit?
To make worse Quess keep haunting him from afterlife.
Amuro's gf
??? Beltorchika is alive, are you retarded?
Gundam Seed did not have good writing.
If you don't believe me, go back and watch it.
Skated entirely by on its soundtrack and battle slaughter.
Chan was sweet, okay.
Seed's writing was fine by Gundam standards, it was Destiny that had bad writing
we get a LIKE, ZOOM! ending
bravo Anno
I can TOLERATE Seed.
But holy shit, Shinn was robbed from being the Kamille of his show.
Oh, when Shuji doesn't give a shit about Machu, she's a cuck. But when Quess does the same thing to a Hathaway, he's not? That doesn't seem fair
G-witch didn't portray war at all.
If Luluco cameoed I'd actually watch this
X is literally the most heterosexual Gundam. All the Gundam pilots and the captain hooked up with a woman.
The other reason is, if you watch any Universal Century episode up until now, it’s clear that English is the official language. However, there are a few colonies, like Moon Moon or the Texas Colony for example, rooted in a special and distinctive culture of their own. So, I thought it would be fine if there was a colony whose customs were heavily influenced by Japanese ones. Side 6 from the first “Mobile Suit Gundam” was originally designed as a caricature of Japan. I thought it would be okay if there was a colony with many residents of Japanese origin.
I always saw it differently, moreso that Tomino doesn't seem to be the biggest fan of using Japanese settings and has always preferred a Japanese man's take on the rest of the world. Even in Dunbine it didn't dwell on Japan for long.
It's a whole different dynamic, not mention that newtype fuckery made both stick together.
Quess was clearly looking for some sort of father figure which neither Hatahway or Gyunei is.
Machu certainly doesn't make it easy
I fear Tuesday will bring nothing but pain and change everyone including the viewers
Didn't Kamile end up being a braindead vegitable by the end of Zeta?
I think the writer of Seed Destiny had brain damage and that was right around the time the writing went to shit. The irony is, Destiny started out pretty good. It wasn't until the last 10 or so episodes where the writing went off the deep end. I think that was during the period when Death Note manga was trending so we got a lot of series where the protagonist became power hungry villains.
Nothing will happen but a squashed loli everyone sees coming
GUYS THEY'LL DIE JUST TRUST ME!!!!!!
Death and destruction, but also NTR
A match made in heaven.
Nothing can beat Hathaway's, what the hell do you mean you're still holding on to a girl that doesn't give a shit about you for a decade to the point of her ghost telling you to fuck off?
There won't be death you oldfag who seething over Nugundam
Was the Gundam jacking the point where timelines split, or did it happen way before? As people noted on Anon Babble, there seems to be a pretty consistent tech shift that can't be accounted for by just stealing the Gundam, like everyone having smartphones, tech looking significantly different, the culture being more modern, and so on. Every other UC property has taken pains to keep the aesthetic firmly in the late 70s and 80s, meaning boxy computers, tech, and 80s anime hair.
There's no fucking way this blud doesn't die. I dunno about anyone else, but this guy? You don't give this type of flavor borderline background character likable traits unless you're about to kill them off.
I mean there's already been death in this show but the days of cockpit cam death scenes like Jerid or Nicol is long over.
Or they won't kill him and you're thinking of things that won't happen
I think they got the Flower of Sharon early and then reverse-engineered the Psycommu tech earlier. Like I said in a different thread, there should be no way to equip a MS as small as the Gundam with Psycommu at that point in time; the Braw Bow, the Elmeth, the Zeong, even the Psycho Gundam, they didn't make Psycommu small until the Qubeley 7 years later.
Likeable traits
Dude is a fucking creep. But i do agree him and mommy seem the most obvious deaths.
Oh boy, I can't wait to see someone will whine about lesbians from wfm again.
Some SEED suits are fine, some aren't. But this? This is perfect.
Didn't Kamile end up being a braindead vegitable by the end of Zeta?
Yes, thanks to Scirocco.
You're telling me we won't get the ridiculous Anon Babble of Zeta?
The Seed suits are pure rule of cool and I don't like how they ruined MS designs for years to come. Basically every single videogame or spin-off original MS looks like out of Seed.
Iirc Garrod support yuri if you play the dlc of the crossover game. He told Suletta to protect your love one.
When?
Machu definituve cucking incoming.
Let her do something extremely stupid;
What do you like the most about Deux?
His ass;
Gundam 0079 protagonist is caught up in a war
Zeta protagonist is bothered by the actions of Titans who gained a reputation of being bullies/nazis.
Wing protagonist are terrorist trying to end the war
Seed protagonist gets guilt tripped into fighting a war since he's the only one who protect his friends
008th, 0083, etc.... signed up to fight in the war
00 protagonist are terrorist getting revenge
0080 protagonist gets groomed into assisting in a war, he's just a child and doesn't know what he's getting into
Witch protagonist gets guilt tripped into helping a love interest (or friend)
............
............
............
Gundam GQX protagonist is a sheltered upper middleclass girl with a loving mom and friends, yet decided to pilot because she wants to elope with a boy on Earth and get high on Kira-Kira despite living in a relatively peaceful era.
she even live to take a lesson away from her actions in the first place?
I hope not. Machu deserves a painful death.
Watched Origin, and yeah, even the characters feel like different people. For instance, Kycilia is far better. From the GQX movie, she stayed on Granada to show solidarity with her soldiers, and had known Char = Casaval since before the war started, but helped him hide it. Kycilia in the original fled, sacrificing her soldiers, when put in a similar situation at A Bao Qu, and would have definitely killed Char had she figured out who he was.
I can't tell him he's in danger because he'll leave me
This show is going to create trust issues towards women among children
Kira also support yuri by giving them his blessings.
The VA was on vacation at the time so they cut her out of Zeta. If I had to write her back in
She awkwardly reunites with Char during his time on Earth
Kindles a romance with Amuro
By CCA Amuro and Salya have split amaciably but they have a child together
I think you switched Wing and 00 my dude
Machu 100% seems like the type of girl who would get herself pregnant to keep a guy tied up to her
known Char = Casaval since before the war started, but helped him hide it
Gqux's depiction of Kycilia is closer to 00790 than GTO.
would have definitely killed Char had she figured out who he was
She does in 0079 and nothing like that happened.
market show as yuri
girls are straight and in love with some retarded fag twink
Is the consensus tilted towards Nyaan now?
Retard
kids don't watch gundam nowadays old man
Don't bad mouth Karl.
I think you switched Wing and 00 my dude
Nah, I think that's about right. Both Wing and 00 protagonist have similar reasons for fighting. I haven't watched Wing but I don't recall them giving us much details about their background. We can infer that they decided to become terrorist to end the war or were groomed into becoming terrorist.
The point stands that war acts as a call to action for them. Whereas Machu does not have this.
Doesn't explain what's wrong with the post and instead resorts to ad hominems.
Fa > Four and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
market show as yuri
Except they never did.
only because she's real and in the flesh
brainy nerd and cool beauty with tragic past who has to grind to survive
It was never in doubt. I hope she'll find her family.
I love Flay. She should have lived.
This thread already explained it to you.
Nyaan is cool, but she has her own issues, which is why when she sparkles, she goes psychotic and turns a clan bat into a death match. Machu, on the other hand, isn't filled with hate and thus her first kira-kira has her taking out her opponents without murdering them.
yuri
Even IBO is more yuri unlike this one
Flay and Machu are both bitches.
Machu and Nyaan need to be made to kiss and makeup
This thread already explained it to you.
Where? The only explanation for Machu's actions was the writer's talking about it. But even that only explains why she initially got into a Gundam and attempted to resolve that situation. It offers no explanation for why she continues to pilot.
She's not being guilt tripped or has a financial burden that forces her to collect clan-battle money. It was revealed that Nyaan is just as good (if not better) as a pilot so she's not even needed. If your only answer is that she's doing this to collect funds to go to earth I would argue that's a silly way of achieving her goal. She's not even fighting against bad guys in these clan battles so her superficial sense justice isn't even at play here. Anon this is shit writing, quit apologizing for it.
She got what she deserved.
Is this yuri kiss?
Give me the Gelgoog, and I'll fuck Char, Shuji and Red Gundam at the same time.
Why does she looks like she gets bullied constantly?
Yes.
Kamille is a girl, and her main love interest is literally named Fa YURIy
Machu will flip up her skirt
Gundam really love yuri
Don't mind me just another innocent AC unit.
mika and his wives
We never saw Atra and Mika fucking inside barbie
Women aren't men
Reji got laid though, and the AGE MCs
Will we get to see Dr. Murasame croak in GQX?The guy vivisected children when they failed to become cyber-newtypes, and got away with everything in the original timeline. He retired rich and joined the Federation elite.
We don't have enough episodes to waste on that.
Get complains from nip parents about said scenes
Make even more obvious on re release just because
Truly based.
They would have to become Fukuda's dead wife if they wanted him to change shit
That's nothing compared to THREE DAYS
So she pokes holes in condoms, eh?
That's kinda hot.
I habe a daughter
He might've just as well said he's two weeks away from retirement.
this is the same guy that made Fafner? wow
It didn't worked for Mika bro and that was the whole plan.
I'd definitely dick Machu. Like do tons of sexual stuff to her she's really pretty, IMAGINE-tier, and manhandle-able, she also seems fun to be around and her facial expressions are top. However, Nyaan is just lovely, gentle and by the looks of it very loving and holds those around her dear. If I were to meet her, my heart would belong to Nyaan.
Fafner
I tried to mentally erase the existence of that show. Thanks for reminding me you jerk.
Machu is definitely a pillow princess despite all her bratty attitude, Nyaan will rip off your dick once she gets into the zone.
Machu is such a whore
something something space cougars
Fukuda gets explicit when he gets the opportunity
uhh Is it me or machu and shuji don't get much fanarts?
marketing
You mean yurifag delusions? You were warned by normal people ahead of time and decided to ignore us.
Just because it's Hirai doesn't mean it's Fukuda
Shuji has more than Nyaan in boorus atm, which is a feat considering males don't get much fanart, MC or not
No, I mean Shuji x Machu like other canon couples.
Nyaan's hairy pussy
give it some time, things will only blow up if Shuji reciprocates her feelings.
Whose is that beta female in the background spying on them fucking like a creep?
It's the second most popular ship in the show behind Charlia...
I want her to press it up against my face and force me to pleasure her once Nyaan's switch flips.
Still funny how this place and reddit are still the best places to discuss Gundam in general. Insane how much Gwitch fans just don't wanna talk about Shuji's importance to the narrative.
Nyaan will probably pilot the Red Gundam.
If Nyaan gets the red Gundam how will Shuji survive?
gquux should end with shuji abandoning machu and nyaan to go to earth alone
Another Zeknova has to happen before the series ends. Maybe next episode maybe as an S2 tease. I just think Shuji's odds are unfortunately pretty low.
The only way this shitshow will be redeemed is if Char pops out of the gundam and rapes Machu and Nyan
I think all three of these kids make it to earth. But probably not together and all on different sides of the war.
Because he has more chemistry with nyaan. He doesn't seem to care much about Machu.
titans kidnap nyaan
machu joins zeon
shuji go to earth with red gundam
Since Nova betrayed Luluco in ep10, their reunion in ep12 feels like a "I can fix him" for me.
Ange's top meido. She's happy her master is getting some action.
Also she's part of Ange's harem along with the tsundere dyke.
shy
That girl is more like Nyaan than Machu
Guys, I think this has been my favorite insert song so far. It just made me like Nyaan even more. You guys think they'll release an album with the insert songs or will it be a bunch of singles?
youtube.com
The insert songs will probably be on the artists' own albums if at all.
True but up until that point he was a fuckboi who was way too agreeable with her.
Seed guys just talking about their lovely girlfriends/wives
GWitch main girls just talking about the things that they want to do together
Who will be the representative in JR Oshi Tabi from Gquuuuux?
These insert songs make me convinced it will have a beautiful happy ending.
Seriously you can't have a theme of your main characters be this
youtu.be
and have a gritty ending. They won't mood whiplash this hard. The drama in the middle is all a fake out and it'll end in a sweet way.
I dunno, hopefulanon.
The music could be a fake out on its own too.
fujofriends... when it's our turn?
No one wants shock value for an ending especially for characters this cute. It won't make anyone happy.
They won't mood whiplash this hard
Bro, they blew up Shiiko and then cut to Machu and Nyaan derping around.
Most of the music is sad, though. Many of them feature a shift from major to minor scales (with ironic refrains), use echo-y harmonies, and end on fade outs. Just listen to From the Aquarium City, the song featured in the first trailers and GQX's alternate theme, for instance:
or Summer of Mirage:
I miss Emma
I'd argue Exabe/Challia is second most popular. They were the first pairing to get a published doujinshi after all.
Rough translation of Aquarium City's Lyrics:
The shining city looks like an aquarium
As dripping droplets bounce back off it
The lights go off one by one
I can’t sleep
That nameless feeling
Turned into a bubble and burst
While I was living my busy days,
Do why is it making my chest feel tight now?
I don’t get it,
But it’s making my temperature rise
And it’s calling out to me
Scattering dazzling fragments of stars in the sky,
You dance in the glasswork-like night
Don't make it stop
I’d locked my dreams inside of me,
But I feel like I can sing them now
So, once again…
Perking up my ears to the sound of bells
I’m sliding through my memories
And the feelings that make me lose my composure are something else
Hey…
Surfing nimbly through my busy days,
The speed of my heartbeat grows
Every time I think of you
Uncountable lonelinesses
Pass by each other
I’m home, but I’m next to you
As the night sky swallows fragments of dreams
This clockwork world keeps turning
The flickering city lights shine over you
The future doesn’t look like anyone
So I’ll shape it
It's cool how the insert songs are actually about the characters and world. It's very extra.
Lesbians
Consider that Kycilia knew about Char being Casval and chose to hide it from other Zabi. If we combine that with her still trying to assassinate Casval (Edward Mass) in Origin, it shows that Kycilia either has unique affection for Char and/or has fetish for powerful men that could conquer her.
Poor Johnny, being used as Char-replacement for Kycilia as well...
Something very interesting, but Nyaan and Machu are deliberately separated by objects when sharing the same screen. Little bit of visual forshadowing you only get in animu.
I feel dumb they always do this shot with trees in romance shows but I never notice it
You forgot to mention that they always facing away.
ニャアンちゃんは今日も可愛い！
W-what does this mean? That they haven't emotionally connected yet despite being around each other?
emotional distance and divide
machu not considering nyaan as an equal
divider in the foreground - shit is getting real now
It's sad music but it's a beautiful and hopeful kind of sad. Definitely not a gritty depressing one.
the interview said machu and nyaan are like equal
machu not considering nyaan as an equal
I'm so confused...
Machu herself focuses on Shuji but all the cinematic composition is focused on Nyaan
Machu vs Nyaan final battle.
Even in the laundry room scene, damn.
Will Machu's character just be seething over something that is just inside her head for the rest of reskinned FLCL but with Gundams aka G-Quack
The love triangle in Gcucks don't make sense...
How will they make Nyaan hate Machu?
Thematically they can be an equal but machu doesn't see her that way, at least for now. Nyaan to her is like an interesting new pet, something she can play pretend to protect and feel special. Remember the scene where she wouldn't even let Nyaan answer to the officers, interrupting that she's her friend? Nyaan tries to stop her and cooperate but machu just ignores nyaan's handling of the situation, gets pissed off and kicks them. That's how little she regards nyaan
They won't. They will want to get back into the group but can't because of circumstances.
she will never be a hateful person, unlike machu
What about this image? There is some kind of complex cinematography that is beyond my media understanding.
The show seems like it’s leading to their fighting though not them becoming friends at the end
If the two main characters fight then it'll lead to them reconnecting even stronger than before.
Happened in both Diebuster (Tsurumaki) and Star Driver (Enokido)
Machu is looking toward Nyaan but Nyaan is still facing away.
lol
lmao
The interview posted in this very thread makes a specific point to mention that Machu sees Nyaan as an equal. Even saying this is a expression of Machus defining characteristic.
All the thematic relevance is between them while Shuji just seems there to drive them forward. What did they mean by this?
It’s a bit of a problem with creator intent versus what is shown in the show. Even if that’s what they want Nyaan seems to care more about Machu then Machu does about Nyaan
Anon is that even still part of the plan because it might've been from the older version
Even if that’s what they want Nyaan seems to care more about Machu then Machu does about Nyaan
I see no issue here, seeing her as an equal is a completly different thing from caring about someone.
I disagree with that idea too, but its a completly seperate thing.
Even in a society with such a dark side, Machu doesn’t hold any prejudice towards the refugees and the illegal immigrants there. Whether that’s because she fundamentally lacks the concept of prejudice, or because she simply doesn’t want to acknowledge it, even I am not totally sure.
This could totally be a setup where she starts hating all illegals infesting Izuma due to Nyaan stealing Shuji and the Pomeranians betraying her.
Episode 6 all but confirmed it by revealing Nyaan wants to go to college like her character profile said.
"Machu, Nyaan... Welcome to the Jupiter Fleet".
Nyaan joins Zeon
Machu joins the AZUG
Pottery
starts hating all illegals infesting Izuma due to Nyaan stealing Shuji
you retards can't be for real
So let me summarize
Machu is rich, spoiled, has family, has education, has schoolfriends fawning over her but is still unsatisfied and wants more
Nyaan is poor, lonely, wants to go to school, wants to make friends, would be happy for simple things such as eating together
composition focuses on them a lot, cuts them off from each other or has them facing away from each other despite being seemingly close
they're equal but also not
they have Midnight Reflections as their leitmotif insert song
they get the "ordinary character meets inordinary character" in the first episode and Machu is pushed into the story by meeting her
First line of the opening is about them
Ending is only about them
OP and ED jacket illustration only has them
Yurisisters playing the long game???
And that somehow mean that outfit will happen how
Machu the slut
>Machu joins the AZUG
*Titans
We need the Titans to be the good guys this time around.
good guys this time around
They were always the good guys
Anon this isn't Yuri both of the females want to fuck Shuji with Machu seething and raging over someone else being near him
Here's my idea, what if Machu cares about Nyaan the same way Machu's mom cares about Machu? She wants to protect her but also isn't letting her free.
I can't wait for next episode so you yuriniggers have your 4th week long meltdown this month

FUARK....my HERO...
The original picture where that is cropped from has the description of Nyaan wanting to go to college despite zero information of that being anywhere weeks before.
I wonder what Jerid is up to
Looking at their dynamic, and in particular the shot of Machu walking on the guardrail while Nyaan's on the ground, I get the impression that while Machu isn't prejudiced against Nyaan, she subtly sees herself as the bigger fish, the one calling the shots, etc. The guardrail shot in particular could imply that Machu sees herself as above Nyaan, and it's in part this dynamic changing that contributes to why Machu is so bothered and angry that Nyaan actually can pilot the GQuacks, have a Newtype flash, etc. Some part of Machu didn't expect to actually be outright equal, or to be the least important one in the dynamic.
This doesn't make sense...
Then why did she get so angry when Nyaan enjoyed kirakiraing with Shuuji?
Machu and Nyaan get thematically much more importance and detail than either of them with Shuji.
She wouldn't gotten angry no matter who it was; the point is that she thought she had something special, both for herself and with Shuuji, except it wasn't.
They're technically rivals and becoming enemies in the future.
Shuuji literally pilots Char Aznable
She wouldn't have gotten angry if it wasn't Nyaan. She was dejected at the end of the last episode until she saw Nyaan was inside.
As long as it gets Nyaan in some apocalyptical mobile armor and Machu in an elevated GQuuuuuuX I'm good. I just want to see Izuma ripped to shreds and for the wounds of a post Zeon victory for all to see. I want to see how the tragedy of humanity is repeated or if isn't.
Turns Communist Kino into moeblob CGDCT garbagepedoslop
whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fuck nu "gundam"
Nyaan has been shown with conch in all the promo merch so maybe she will get the red gundam after all.
They even deliberately had Shuji say the Gundam likes her
You will get gay bitches and you will be unable to stop it
I'm a yuribro but I still feel a bit irritated with that kind of sarcasm.
I don't give a shit if it's yuri or not, I only care if it UC. Really bad shit will happen. If the Nyaan with a Zeon suit leak is real things are gonna get worse.
Shuji will save, protecc and sniff her.
TRUST THE PLAN!
Are there any Koreans in this thread?
The White Base-type battleship is called "Sodong", the same name as the company that made the Sewol

Sodong From the Korean ship buying and selling company Sodong Maritime? Trouble with a Niigata company over the sale of the Sewol's twin ship.
The Sewol incident happened in 2014.

You are getting baited, hook line and sinker. These are all "oldest trick in the book"-tier yuribait-101 devices which Hibike Euphonium had mastered a decade ago. Just don't have a melty when Nyaan dies and it all comes crashing down.
I'm looking forward to your next week long temper tantrum when het gets confirmed even harder
communist kino
a show where the fascists won the war and the entire world is better off for it
Why would you expose that you've never seen 0079 like this?
I'd say the moment Machu saw nyaan come out of quacks is the moment she started to see nyaan as an equal
People only started to genuinely like her as a character when she cucked Machu. I don't know what kind of phenomena is this.
Including the fetish art?
I liked her when she started bashing zeke heads in.
I feel like she and machu will be like a seesaw. When machu's likability crashes nyaan's stonk will go up, and when machu's likability rockets, nyaan's will crash
All art is fetish art
That would be so awful.
I just want to see my beloved husband Yazan
Wait, what? They cucked Comoli?
I liked her when I saw she was tall and flat, I liked her even more when she went from quiet to murderous and back
director takes inspiration from WITP
I don't get why yurishitters thing this show will be smiles and rainbows with a happy yuri end.
My niggas.
Is luluco good?
Shuji the boy
Iirc people have been shipping them pretty heavily from the start because of the stuff that was said in the pre release interviews
Imagine how easily she bruises
This MC is the clown of the season.
THE SEX SYMBOL OF 2025
of 2025
It's the year of a snake
Gquack started last month and it's 2025
Machu is a snake!
SEX SYMBOL
But that is just a child.
Nyaan and Machu kira kira
Machu sees all of Nyaan's memories
Nyaan and Shuuji had been flirting like newlyweds while Machu was at school
Machu breaks into a cuck acceptance
Yet Yuritrannys still think it will end with Yuri and Shuuji death
what if shuuji is also from earth and was lab enhanced. Maybe he knows deux and was his first virgin kirakira
If you want to see this happen at a catastrophic scale I recommend reading all of og Muv-Luv
When is Jerid appearing?
Jerid wanted to end the war early
Jamitov wanted the war to be as long and painful as possible to cripple the EF
All the Titans weren't on the same page I guess.
Jamitov wanted the war to be as long and painful as possible to cripple the EF
He wanted it to be long enough for him to seize power.
I need both of them to ride my face.
Deuxce
AVE!
Cuckchu is trending...
machu think she is higher than nyaan
shuji is just's machu sex fantasy
shuji only care about gundam
nyaan is cute
this group is already doomed in the first place
this series should have ended with no one dying but shuji going down to earth and leaving machu to live a boring life on the space colony with her mom
With Nyaan as her bride.
I'm excited about the next episode
but also scared
Shuji and Nyaan will get married and have a family on earth. Machu will return to her old life, pretend she never knew them and that nothing happened to cope.
Things always get worse before they get better with these shows
the next episode will be the last?
when its streaming?
I wanna watchin
You will be fine simply by accepting that Deux will miserably die.
The next episode is 7 out of 12.
We're in for a wild ride
before they get better
It's not the last
the next episode will be the last?
Are you implying this anime only has less than 10 episodes? Where did you get that info?
Someone poorly edit this with Shuji, Machu, and Nyaan
Oh it's not just Deux, it's the whole colony
And on another level, the second half of the show is make or break: this show is great so far but the coming episodes will cement it anywhere from a failure, to something "just" ok, to an all time classic.
So I am waiting with anticipation
simply by accepting that Deux will miserably die.
Everyone apparently already sees her as a dead brat.
i thought its already episode 10, so monday or tuesday japan time?
how
how did you think it was already episode 10
there have been 6 episodes
I just hope she mindrape Kira-Kira’s Machu before she and the Psycho Gundam inevitably blow up.
i thought its already episode 10
Maybe you experienced a time leap and the you now is from the future.
CyberSEX
I havent started watching yet I'm planning to skip everything and watching only the finale. Sorry titties!
I just hope she mindrape Kira-Kira’s Machu
She does not give a shit about Machu. She would most likely kira-kira with Shuji because he and the red gundam is the main focus of the plot.
time warping is one thing
but it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane
Okay so 5 more weeks until the last episode guess I can just wait a lil longer. I skimped thru the thead and I have no idea what the fuck you guys talking lmao
Have too big of a role to just die unless the old woman
Who cares
Look at all of these smug Nyanfags laughing at the suffering of Machucucks. Enjoy it while you can since your girl WILL get cucked by Deux in just like Machu before her
Shuuji and Duex come to understand one another
Machu kills her so she can be a murderer like all the cool kids
Or
Shuuji and Duex do not come to understand one another
Machu saves Duex because she actually did come to understand things and realizes Char is in the wrong
Shuuji/Deux endgame?
Not really delight watching this series.
I think Nyaan wants to be friends. Since she is a straight female starved for affection a himbo being all over her makes her weak in the knees but there is no love.
What role? She's just the pilot of the psycho gundam. If they destroy that she's toast because she thinks that's her body anyway.
Good morning to everyone except for me and my shitty Char/Haman OTP.
Know your place, Haman.
It's my OTP as well since somehow the most terrible couple in (UC) universe are also the only ones capable of raising mentally healthy children
I think Nyaan wants to be friends
The problem is that Nyaan will tend to shamelessly rub herself all over Shuji and cause Shuji to become erect against his own free will. Nyaan needs to learn first the boundaries of friendship.
Why doesn't anyone care about gates capa like I do?
I would pay to see them on Maury.
Who is going to turn heel?
Who?
my boy shuji will save lalah, turn kamille into a normal kid and cure haman's mental illness
Haro.
If they destroy that she's toast because she thinks that's her body anyway.
Shuji will become her new body afterwards. That is why she will start living together with him and cling on him every now and then.
Scottie 2 Hottie here.
He appears more in Zeta Define
I read all of CDA twice and never again am I reading jack shit by that guy.
What up Gundam general
I've only seen 079, do I need any other lore to watch this show?
like does anyone other than the original cast show up?
I do think being the first (knowing) newtype Machu fights will have some kind of significance.
would machu become the first cocklover yandere character in gundam history?
Machu will blow her up to prove she can hang with the cool kids.
Zeta Defined has some moments
Quattro finding Amuro Ray via tracking White Base crew members (Fraw Bow)
Quattro reuniting with Sayla
That's pretty much it, I'd Zeta Defined is an A.U. since Quattro is more emotionally (somewhat) to Reccoa, and Four is currently alive.
Some of Zeta's cast are showing up and they're very plot relevant. Considering this takes place before Zeta and the Gryps Conflict never starts you don't have to actually watch it but you'll miss out on the nostalgia.
My favorite gundam media made in the past decade is a manga that doesn't even have giant robots in it. How should I kill myself? Head in oven?
Nyaan is very motherly to her
cuck tomato sits in the corner seething
OL Haman-sama is now adapted into an anime
Lalah Sune appears each episode at the end talking to Char about how she's lost around the globe
Do you accept?
Depends. What VAs are we using? If they recast Amuro fuck no.
I don't think deux will die but psycho gundam will be defeated and deux, gates, machu and shuji will be captured by challia
They show her more off unlike the MILF that they didn't show off at all beside in the PV
we wouldn't gotten the most heartwrenching (in a sappy way) death theme in the entire franchise
what if kycilia get psycho gundam and cyber newtype technogoly after this?
she will start living together with him and cling on him every now and then.
She will become like that NEET ninja girl who slacks off and plays game all the time.
Cutest part about OL Haman-sama is how earnestly she's cheering for Fa's love despite detesting Kamille
So this is the power of the alpha-omega Psycommu system
I think Nyaan can do better than Shuji, I just want her to be happy in the end
makes out with you
doesn't take off sunglasses
nyaan fags
machucucks
deux tards
real fans know that shuji x char is real and canon
Nyaan and Shuuji look cute together
Machu can have Gates Capa, that blackhaired Pomeranian or Jerid
Maybe he did tho
Please be right.
I hope they never reveal it and they just get vaporized
