Rewatching Amuro & brehs are definitely looking through rose tinted glasses. Creh was a whole bytch the first half of the series, just like 80% of the aces that followed in his footsteps. He came through clutch, usually after a lot of prodding and plot conveniences, which gives him an abnormally high body count but he's not even more impressive as a pilot than say Heero.

Zeta was better, in large part due to the fact that Amuro became a supporting character. He's more tolerable in that role.

amuro starts out a whole bytch and doesn't really hit his stride as a boss til way later in game. his development took forever but once he hits his stride he's GOATed

It was damn near the end of the series before he hit that point. You would have been bushed anyone else who took that long to be worthwhile.

Admit to your nostalgic bias breh.

You sounding like a millennial giving me stats. I said keep that same energy.

Amuro is exceptional in his growth. He's the first true and real newtype. When he killed the black tri-stars he wasn't near the end of the series. And he whipped their asses. He's just not a sociopath. He functioned on kill or be killed. He also found out that his father had gone insane and his mother had disowned him for killing. And he's what 16?

Also don't forget he isn't following a trope he made the trope. He is the mold that all Gundam MC's are birthed from.

 

[Neuromancer]

finally caught all the way up on fireforce A1 mid. movie tier animation

its also straight dumb as hell sometimes. but at least they know it and skid into it. the deathflag meme near the end was fukkin hilarious

my wife *dead*
my unborn child *dead*
my retro 7s *almost made it. dead af*

My life flashed before my eyes and it was pretty pathetic so I think I'm gonna make it....

 

[Family Lives Matter]

Demon souls (i typed souls but meant slayer and refuse to delete it) is good but I don't get the hype

 

[Jmare007]

After delaying it forever I've been watching Haikyuu! and man, I can tell why it was considered the heir to the GOAT (Slam Dunk)

It certainly gets more repetitive in season 4 and for what I've read, the author said fukk it rushed the ending with time skips after the National Tournament. But it's a really good depiction of volleyball and it does a really great job making you care about the matches. It ain't reaching Slam Dunk's level but it's close to it

I like it but no.

 

[Jmare007]

I like it but no.

You don't think it's even close? I guess I can see that argumento too. It certainly isn't as memorable as SD but Haikyuu follows a very similar formula and doesn't fukk it up

Amuro on gets props on the sheer amount of bodies while being a antisocial dweeb. He's pretty much a NEET before that was a thing. He spent all his time alone at home fukking with robots. He was raised by an even more NEET sociopathic father. Fraw was his only real friend and if she didnt come by the nikka wouldnt even remember to feed himself. Captain Bright had to keep putting hands on this nikka to keep his weirdo traits in check.

Newtype fukkery puts him a cut above as a pilot, so outside of that I can see some hating him. That lala arc was at least Char was clapping cheeks.

Bruh was dripping in that virgin energy in the original MSG, but in the later series he really does carry himself like a war hero and legend. Char's counterattack being the best example.

Tomino doesn't even like him.

He's often bland and despite inspired by other characters in the genre at the time, he has next to none of their spark. Hell, he's not even the most interesting character in his own series. Guy is held in high esteem for being on the scene first, not for being the best. He didn't break any norms for a MC and was written to act irrationally in an attempt to convey the effects of war on a young mind.

Thankfully they figured out the kinks and showed how it affects everyone differently. Like anything from Sports to Science, you give credit to the pioneers but it's never assumed that being first means being the best.
