Review of Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX
Probably the worst anime i've ever seen, the music aren't bad but the opening is nightmarish, the fights scenes are mid and worst of all : the story which starts with a setting rendered completely uninteresting as it is merely pretext for nostalgic cameo then completely discard its own worldbuilding when the political setup it teases in between the soporific and weightless match (to death, these guy are killing themselves and we don't even know why, who watches it, who organize it, the series just don't care) finally bears fruits. All of this to end on a stupidly convoluted nightmare finale where every character moreor less has the same objective which don't oppose them but will still try to kill each other for it. And they don't even end up doing it, the problem just fuck off to another dimension until the next season i guess, awesome.
I've seen some people complain that the show should've been longer but given that it completely disregard everything it sets up in an half assed way, giving these subplot more weight would've probably played against the show in an even worse fashion.
The series also constantly pull shit out of nowhere, for exemple sayla mass appears like 3 times for 10 seconds each and somehow she's central to the conclusion and the world order it presents.
The whole final arc is a really really bad rip off of mazinger zero with an uninteresting plot, uninteresting cast and uneven charadesign and the worse part is they don't even seem to have understood what made it good when it's the most primal ooga booga bullshit.
Really not looking forward to future studio khara production given both this and anno's latest output.
