Love!

I love Gundam 79
And I love Gquuuuuux

Storytelling isn’t bound by any rules, and I feel like this show does everything to update the original to our reference-obsessed media culture.
I love that many Gundam shows have different structures and ways to handle their ingredients while riding on the back of what was made before, and I left this show pretty touched by the artists willingness to explore Gundam as a way to understand our current connection to media and nothing else.

Intuition (and those long ass credits in the end) tells me that this show was made to mimic the pacing of a feature length trilogy of movies, and it definitely felt jarring to see it constantly sit on what potential the main characters stories had and how little of them was fleshed out.

Nonetheless, Newtypes are able to feel and understand each other at a glance; the further our technologies goes, the further we are able to communicate without any substantial link; Meta-narratives are indeed a cool way to talk about everything, when everything has already been said.

Gquuuuuux made a point to ask what purpose and towards which future our Gundam obsession is leading to, and «nothing characters» like Shuji, who expressed himself almost solely through what the Mobile Suit told him are templates for stories between men and women going on until the end of time. The callbacks aren’t empty, its obvious fan service made by fans for us fans, that flesh out what we thought of the original series. Mobile Suit Gundam Gqx is 100% about Mobile Suit Gundam and frankly it is what it is, love it or hate it.

If you did hate it, here goes for you; watch the show it’s about, and find out what the hell all those characters where latching onto and why; there’s is a lot to love there. No telling a few years from now how important Gundam’ll end up being for you. Ain’t nothing but entertainment, supposedly. Some of us have been capable of proving our existence in this messy world through it though, and it’s everything the artists behind Gqx prove!

I’ve been praying for times like these
