Quick note on the GquuuuuuX's Head -

Look closely.

It has teeth.

[wordsandrobots]

A round-up of this week's aesthetic observations on the Gundam franchise in lieu of writing another (three) long post(s).

My repulsion from the Build series isn't, I think, solely rooted in the weird corporate-ness of the the premise but also the co-opting of visual language intended to convey mortal peril and its usage for weightless fluff. That is to say, the fights always seem to be animated identically to a 'proper' Gundam show, even though Build goes out of its way to remind the viewer this is simulation. It's not like you can't wring drama out of 'harmless' games (*cough* Yu-Gi-Oh! *cough*), just that I don't think 'it's like real Gundam fighting (except it isn't)' is the best way to render an e-sport.

The main problem with the GQuuuuuuX is the utterly atrocious colour-blocking. The design *is* a bit needlessly fiddly but that's only an issue because they've gone so granular with the layout of the deco. No single block dominates, so there's nothing for the eye to catch a hold of and work out from. Compared to something like the Aerial, the G-Self or the Turn A, or even the Wing, where the extra detail and greebles/redesigns are muted by very straightforward blocking, the GQuuuuuuX is constantly at risk of becoming a confused jumble of bits. The fact the thrusters merge so readily with the arms is particularly jarring when trying to keep track of its movement (or just looking at it in static poses, as in the HG kit advertising pictures). Everything smudges and none of the shapes are distinct enough to escape the morass on their own.

This is galling because I quite like the actual structure of the thing. I wonder if it could have been improved by dialling up the contrast on the colours, but I suspect they really just needed to wash out the detail with larger blocks of blue and white. The original scheme works well for a reason.

Also there is a spectrum of Gundam reinvention that goes from 'RX-78 but different' to 'hit the mecha randomiser' and someone should have a go at plotting that graph some day.

That is quite the name.

Still, though, they've got some well-reputed names on here.

Also, Anno's favorite Gundam is Victory.

Make of that what you will.

New Gundam anime (Gundam GQuuuuuuX) for 2025 Directed by 鶴巻和哉 Kazuya Tsurumaki - Studio Khara x Sunrise

Screenplay : 榎戸 洋司 Yōji Enokido / 庵野秀明 Hideaki Anno

“The new Gundam series is being spearheaded by the director of FLCL, the creator of Evangelion, and one of the lead writers of Revolutionary Girl Utena” feels like the kind of sentence that would emerge solely from fancast fever dreams, what kind of black magic ritual was used to make this happen??

Duck Feeding

Nole and Kelan visit a lake, and feed some ducks lettuce.

Thought it would be fun to try some reflections.

“they’re not spam blogs, we vetted them!!”

yet here I am, blocking a duplicate of the same blog that sent me the same ask for the 4th time (the 3rd time today) along with another duplicate of the same blog I’d already blocked and reported that sent me the same ask they tried sending last week. and both of them still read like a fucking chatgpt prompt.

OKAY

Gundam anime from Khara, directed by one of the old Gainax sickos

protag is a girl again, thank christ

dumbest title I've ever heard. the kana could also be written as G-Quacks. This is good btw

the gundam looks like shit

but the characters look incredible so it evens out. these character designs are straight out of FLCL or Diebuster.

It's set in a classic gundam space colony but instead of war it's like. underground boxing circuit. cool

Hell yeah! I mean it's unfortunate that the gundam looks so bad, but how the gundam looks is not that important really.

it looks good. i'm not really sure what to make of the khara connection. Anno is the second-credited writer on this. that could be good or bad, but in any case he needs to be stopped before he owns a piece of every nostalgic property on earth.

We fans of Hideaki Anno’s works need to be there for one another because there’s going to be countless people comparing a Gundam series directed by Anno to G-Witch.

I'm super excited about the new Gundam project, the character designs and mecha designs look fucking sick! That sure is a really weird name they gave it!
