I love the moment when everything changes to Gundam Gquuuuux

The last entry in Gundam Franchise, Gquuuuuxhas been built around one of the the most captivating rooms main line Gundam The show has been around for years. In order to get there, we want to regain our minds over 45 years in the original anime since 1979 – and thus we are also asked to look at a rather cheerful idea.

The greater part of Gundam Gquuuuux –As covered in his background/compilation film Gquuuuux BeginningOutside US theaters today for a limited start–is based on the fact that the show is actually set in an alternative version of Gundams The timeline of “universal century”S The main timeline of the original Gundam and his series of direct heir, among others in the franchise, GquuuuuxThe version of the events asks us to look at another result. What if the antagonistic forces of the original series, the secessionist ZON space colony, actually managed to win the war against Earth?

GquuuuuxThe folded point to show that this new timeline takes the audience to the first episode of anime from 1979. Beginning Opens with an almost shot for a shot, rhythm to win the original moments of opening Gundam By itself: after a brief explanation for the outbreak of the “one -year war” between the Zeon and the Federation of the Earth, we follow three Zeon mobile costumes as they penetrate the country’s colony 7, striving to win Intel that the Federation is developing a new mobile costume of the prototype there.

But things immediately differ there: they tell us that one of the pilots who was intended to go to the mission was to repair their zaku after damaging to a previous mission, leaving the Zeon Ace Char Aznable pilot to take his place. This is what changes everything for GquuuuuxThe timeline: Char identifies the prototype’s mobile suit, The Gundam, makes a bold move to get out of his own breakfast and steal it during the chaos of the arrival of Zeon in country 7, and the rest, as the saying goes, is an alternative story.

It is fascinating to watch how it unfolds Beginning If you are Gundam fan, seeing how the opening half that recounts the original Gundam differs from this change and what kind of things are echoing both. But if you are already a fan of the 1979 classic, then you probably know who was intended to continue on this mission, not charm and why it fails in the original series, as the young Amuri Ray finds himself as the one who goes into the Gundam cockpit to fight the attackers. A man who is only known as Jean.

In the first episode of the original GundamJean is a kind of massive ass. Although he is on a mission for the stealth, he is strong and arrogant, not only his own supply, but also his senior Azayrem officer at that moment in the conflict, decorated military hero. Bored by a just sitting in his magnificent weapon of war in a colony, which in his biggest part simply happens as a simple residential facility, Jean immediately becomes impatient, goes out of position and disproves the orders and threat from court areas and begins to shoot the federation facilities and residential areas indiscriminately.

It is this only action, Gquuuuux claims that it makes everyone Gundam As we know it happens. Without Jean to blow out the mission of recovery – without longing for him to chase the glory he had – Amuro never enters Gundam, he never kills Jean, and the other Zeon soldiers who attack the colony never escape on the white base and kick a new twist in the war on the Earth. GUNDAM mobile suit It happens because a selfish joke pulls a trigger envied by the glory achieved by those above it. Of Char, more special.

And that This is what does this at the same time absolutely cheerful but also completely captivating at the same time. Because in the original show charm is not really the blasting hero of the war that Jean desperately wanted to imitate. He is a top pilot, yes, but he is far from the image of a warrior brave jingle in battleships aimed at: He schemes, he spokeHe enjoys fraud and maintenance. The hero of the war is a masks that charm brings So easily as his legendary helmet, always thinking two steps ahead, as he thinks of his own program against the ruling family struck the ZON. Char is not interested in military efforts: he is interested in the transmission and destruction of Zabis and will use the opportunity to become their military child on the poster to do just that.

Is still the same in GquuuuuxA vision for the character too. Even if gain access to Gundam, Char still plays the war for his own game, thinking his vendetta against Zabis all the time he uses Gundam to win the war for them. Damn, even the way he decides to take Gundam, is not in a heroic combat way that Jean may have guessed for him: he notices a chance as he has not worked out of his own suit to transfer his own suit and get it back to a transport vehicle. That is who is charm, whether this is the person we first met in the anime since 1979, or the version of it, will now see in GquuuuuxAlternative time line. What does Jean believe in, probably both deadlinesit Predicted by a lie.

All this is done on the layers of charm of intrigue and fraud that are believed in those around it – whether he successfully manages to eradicate the bigger part of Zabis with the cost of the loss of war in the original show or this new vision of reality we now have in GquuuuuxS This is what it does Beginning Such a pleasant delicacy to watch is unfolded as a long -time fan of the series. This was done with clear love and respect for what the original show made as a pioneer for the genre of the tavern in anime and a strong understanding of what made him so captivating four and a half decades ago. Respect that is enough to be able to make such an absurdly cruel gesture in the first place, but still be more than just a simple emulation and a tribute to what came before him.

If this is something that Gquuuuux can be kept at the core as history progresses in television anime as a whole, Gundam Fans will participate in one hell.
