>>8437310>This is a huge reachnowadays, sure. when you got shit like IBO. but back then you can clearly tell if you're looking at a gundam (even Turn A), unlike pic related.
>G-Savior's setting and designs were 1000% in line with the UC settingand yet Reconguista in G still manages to be a better Gundam show and you can actually tell you're looking at a gundam.
>All the MS were designed by Okawarait was one of the few instalments of the UC continuity produced by a studio other than Sunrise, directed by someone who is not Tomino, and written by someone who is not Tomino or his team. there are of course others, like 0083 or thunderbolt. but they weren't half-assed attempts. the only reason G-saviour got made was because gundam (wing) got popular in the west during the 90s.
even putting all of the above aside, I had such a hard time getting through the movie. the script and acting stinks, and the plot was generic. the "power rangers: the movie"-tier CGI was the nail in the coffin. the only thing Macross II got going for it over g-saviour is that it's animated, and the voice acting's pretty decent.
