Unironically
I was designing a character for a work i'm doing. Mecha related. But in the end, I just made a slightly different Uso clone. It wasn't on purpose, I just like the character so much I did it instinctively.
--- 21610776
Is it true the design for victory gundam were made a bit simpler so that kids can draw them more easily?
which is a bit ironic considering how dark the show gets

I don't think Tomino really dislike Victory, it's more it reflects the state of mind he was back then, and he changed since.
--- 21610791
>>21610786
>I don't think Tomino really dislike Victory, it's more it reflects the state of mind he was back then
His state of mind and Banrise's pressure directly affected the show, so...

--- 21610861
>>21610850
>>21610854
I can't believe they managed to make an Indian girl look cute. Lalah Sune was a more accurate portrayal of Pajeeta ugliness. Is it because Shakti's half white?
--- 21610867
>>21610861
I think Tomino just really like dark skinned girls
pretty based imo
--- 21610869
>>21610867
Then why Pajeetas? Arabs or Brazilians are cuter browns.
--- 21610872
>>21610869
>Brazilians are cuter browns
--- 21610878
>>21610867
I unironically think it's because Tomino sees that the world will have more dark people in the future, which probably will happen.
Victory has a LOT of characters of multiple origins including many dark skinned ones. but their full ethnicities are more blurred due to mixing.
Tomino don't really see races much in people, which is probably why Gaia Gear shows white supremacist in a very bad light.
--- 21610883
>>21610869
My bet? Tomino went on a family vacation to India while he was just reaching puberty.
--- 21610885
>>21610878
Why didn't they ever show Marbet's chocolate nipples? Kept teasing it but nothing in the end. It's not like other nipples weren't shown. Even a cock. But no nude Marbet. Feels bad man.

I wonder if Victory having so much death of named characters is the reasons for G, Wing and more especially X to not have much them (especially X, X barely have any death in general, none in the protagonist sides, and most of them are caused by the brothers betraying their allies)

I think it might be because Chronicle voice actor died back in 2012 I think. Notice how he wasn't added in Gundam versus.
speaking of him I really like the character, even if he is a bit of a loser. I like how he"s clearly not a bad person in the inside.
--- 21610975

They're pretty bad. The elbow joints are c-clips for whatever reason so those will get loose fast. The hip joints have a locking clip that doesn't like to lock so you'll want to glue it if you don't care to transform them.

I find chronicle to be a very sad characters. even as he dies, he desperatly try to call his sister and he truly did believed in maria-ism, unlike others. But she reject him, thinking he's just like the other mens.
Him trying to follow a deranged Katejina probably didn't helped. 
In a cruel twist , he likely would have ended much better had he not saved Katejina, but he coudn't stand seeing someone abused this way.
--- 21611778

But at least he's nice to girls, right guys?
--- 21611815
>>21610966
No, he absolutely is a bad person. He's that guy who convinced himself he's a good person despite being despicable and cruel, an ends justifies the means sort of person.

I'm pretty sure Shakti even calls him out on this near the end.
--- 21611822
>>21611798
>>21611815
Doesn't the show implies he slowly gets worse as the show progress due to Katejina's influence on him? It's being a while i've seeing Victory but I remember him avoiding to kill civilians
--- 21611878
>>21611822
Katejina absolutely drags him down but he is still responsible for the crimes he committed.
--- 21611916
>>21611822
Yeah, I remember how he helped Usso out in episode 2 when he got stuck to his mobile suit? After the surprise of a kid showing up, instead of retreating so he could safely leave Usso on the ground, he gets into a fucking fight with a kid in mid-air and losses.

Sounds like a stand-up guy to me.
--- 21611925

--- 21611992

didn't Uso opened the door and try kicking the shit out of him? Then in the later episode at Uso's house, he's actually pretty cordial to him.
--- 21611995
>>21611992
He opened th3 door because he was about to fall to his death. While Usoo shows up pissed, Chronicle acts like a kid and shoves him, which then starts the fight.

--- 21612476
>>21610754 (OP)
I loved Katejina and the Victory Gundam itself. Everything else about the show was hot garbage. Tomino must have been on hard drugs thinking it was a good idea having a child as the main character of the show. All the fucking kids were fucking annoying and pointless. Its like the annoying ZZ casts dialed up to 11.
--- 21613445

--- 21614538
Why did that bitch Katejina get to live? Also they did Odelo dirty holy shit, he did not deserve to die right at the final stretch
--- 21614726

--- 21615014
>>21613510
The amount of body parts Uso discarded for faints, defense and just straight yeeting at a target could create entire armies.
How did they manage to make so many parts, but not have enough pilots to just use them as full robots? Were the cores just that expensive to make?
--- 21615077
>>21615014
Victory Gundam was designed to be simple to build with modular construction because LM didn't technically hold any real ground on Earth and operated in the underground. Many of the parts were built in century or more old factories, some predating UC. That's compensated for by the core fighter part which holds all the computers, operating systems and the reactor. So yes, they could build many more leg and arm parts (particularly once the tide started turning and Federation started helping more openly) but core fighters were the bottleneck

I'm trying to work on a fancut that starts on the 2nd episode based on the original vision from Tomino but can seem to get the transitions right because of the Shakti exposition scenes

It got reissued a few months ago, now is the time.
--- 21618413
>>21618232
Once Uso gets in the V2 they reduce his throwing away of parts style of piloting, probably because they want the V2 to be seen as an indispensable hero unit.

--- 21625080
>>21610754 (OP)
Memes aside, there's something that really stands out to me about V Gundam, moreso than things like CCA or Zeta. Somehow to me it is one of the Tomino Gundam series that feels the most whole and beautiful short of the original, something about the dynamics of the cast and the tones of the setting combined with the choreography and music put it very close in my heart to 0079 as a favorite Gundam series. I remember it fondly- I need to rewatch it sometime.
--- 21625102
>>21625080
Music is definitely the strong part of the show. Cast interactions are one of the most important aspect of the gundam show for me, so V is easily one of the best on that alone.

>>21645127

>>21645130
From what little info it has (being featured in only one game some 20 years ago) it appears to be a development from V2 that incorporates Assault and Buster equipment as part of the machine, not unlike how FA Gundam had the extra armor bolted onto the RX-78 and later Heavy Gundam was designed with the extra equipment from the get go.
--- 21645140
>>21645133
Of particular note are the wired "hyper funnels". These are VSBRs (akin to V2 Assault's) mounted on the hips. V3 is equipped with psycommu (perhaps V2 was as well, given V2 Assault's shield bits) which enable the VSBRs to function as funnels. They are still wire connected akin to early psycommu weaponry to maintain connection to the reactor since they're still VSBRs.
--- 21645144
>>21645140
--- 21645182
>>21645140
>(perhaps V2 was as well, given V2 Assault's shield bits)
V2's mega beam shield could deploy emitters for a wider and stronger shield, but they were never capable of independent control or movement. They're not psycommu-type equipment.

No, you can skip X and watch it later.
--- 21661513
>>21661478
Not really. That is fan canon theorycrafting for autist neckbeards who resort to mental gymnastics because in Turn A, or at least in its own version of events, a version of all the previous gundam stories also took place previously, and then said autists take it too literally and try to work it all together as if it's meant to be a canonical fact when it's really just meant to be a vague handwaved explanation for why it has so many overt references to previous Gundam stories.

There's no real well-thought out explanation or order required for watching, they're separate stories that don't really affect each other. At best, Turn A will just have some really explicit references to Gundam X but it's not required to understand the story or plot of either show in any way, it's more of a "look at this! it's *that thing* that was previously seen in another Gundam story!" kind of deal.

Jamesgun was rolled out in UC119, and Victory is UC153. A GM or Zaku-II appearing in CCA would be less outdated in comparison.

Nta but wish the shows portrayed better the differences with ages of the weaponry, 60 years later and the ms move at the same speed, dodge as fast, their pewspews deal the same amount of damage and their armor last the same. The only visual difference (beyond design) is that now use energy shields (though in 1000 years they'll go back to physical ones).

Gundam usually ends up showing off tech differences fairly well, but performance is always hard to gauge on screen and it's impossible to compare between even just different Gundam shows due to all of them having differences in animation style and direction.

Victory's score is so good. This particular song was just playing in my head on loop for days after I finished it

My fav gundam design, to me victory looks like an F-14/F-15/F-16 for some reason
