I will be entirely honest and say i bought the game entirely because i saw the "merry christmas" "it's november" clip

oh did you fix the short that caused you to dead angle all the time

“bespoke prison” you mean temple

and mikiya if i’m being honest. perhaps the least normal about him

I have my own answer to it but that's hardly the point. i love zeta because it revels in that. and that has to extend a level of credit to cca. it understands this question and amplifies it. to butcher someone else's analogy:
It has always been the time of beasts. What will you do about it.

the world does not cry out unless it is to protect itself. And yet. Do you believe that something better is possible.
I think this question weighs on me more than anything any other series has asked. It didn't deserve a concrete answer in 1988, and I don't think it deserved a concrete answer in 2011

this ultimately brings me back to zeta, and to cca. i think if nothing else these are the most explicitly the audience has been asked "are you okay with this". These movements, filled with life, of hope, and of genuine desire for a better world have failed unconditionally.

i honestly just think there's a level of genuine progression of beliefs in tomino's repeated grappling with the question that i don't know if i can see in fukui.

UC was confident in one thing, that one must believe in the possibility to create a different future. NT has Banagher and Mineva acting as janitors trying to contain psycho frames. They accidentally stumbled into the exact same thing the aeug did but never really acknowledged it.

but thinking back on it. it feels. saccharine. like it fails to understand where that sentiment came from. It believes CCA is wrong on this front and tries to prove it for one side. NT, however, feels like a half-hearted attempt to walk back this accusation

It's a sentiment that looms over zeta and cca especially. "is this world all we are capable of" and there's no clear answer. it reaches at some end-of-history sentimentalities before leaving it there.

I think i liked unicorn because it represented a clear and vehement refutation of this

but i think that's somewhat the point. it's a lament that someone as principled and charismatic can completely lose themselves when subjected to all he was. He bares no resemblance to quattro because that version of himself was beaten until it once again called itself char.

a huge cloud loomed over me when i finished it of "why would this possibly be the way char ends up". I hated all the implied half answers. He's an idealist who went too far, he's out for personal vengeance, he's just a sad man on a suicide mission. None of them felt compelling or interesting

i've been doing some reconsideration on my opinions on the gundam series of late on account of just. trying to understand the exact period in time they were made. I still don't like CCA. but it's interesting because i understand it less as a rejection and more of a lament

nothing then :)

have you read 17776

blocking is slow losing. however getting hit is fast losing.

if it can't be achieved with extrude and sweep it doesn't deserve to be modeled

there is a reason we have spent the past few months telling you to use fS RRC
