Gundam is the most disgusting mecha franchise ever created.

The first entries (early UC mainly) to Gundam were legitimately good. But since the 80s and even early 90s, Gundam has been shit. It's just a parody of itself, some kind of bizarro re-run of your favorite series with slightly different character and mech designs. It's rehash after rehash. It's no wonder Tomino hates what the series has become.

And Gundam fans are the worst. Generally, they don't have experience with much mecha outside of Gundam (which is shit tier as far as mecha goes). They pretend like they enjoy politically driven plots, clever dialogue and good characterization over mindless action but the only thing Gundam really has is mindless action with teenagers nonsensically yelling highschool level philosophy at each other.

tl;dr Gundam is fucking shit and so are the fans. You're the casuals of mecha.
