>>3747Where does it say that they're an Ayden? I don't think that's the case when its nowhere on their blog. I just shared because someone is posting Gundam doujinshi too and isn't gatekeeping at least.
Nothing concerning at all. Its best to get what you want even if you don't agree with someone's politics. A lot of Japanese artists I follow aren't the kindest, but their Challia x Char art is good, so I just save it.

>>3750On her social media account, you can find her under RetroAnimeChris on tumblr I think.
No judgement against people who get what they want and get out, I wish I could do that. Unfortunately, I have trauma associated with trans people, the 'begone TERF' attitude, and exclusion based on political witch-hunting, so it's hard for me to enjoy something when I know that the producer is a bully.
No.3756
>>3755Like I previously stated, I steered clear of her website due to her social media, because I wasn't sure if 'DIE TERF' stuff would pop out at me from her webpage, due to her being open about her hate on her social media. Now that I know that it won't, I've gone to her website and got my doujinshi saved.
And no, it's not the same. Those people are openly proclaiming that they won't do it because shitting on JKR is currently fashionable. They'll also often judge you for not joining in on the hate, or for openly enjoying something they hate.
I don't judge people for enjoying stuff from 'DIE TERF' people. I think it's good that people have thick skin and can take what they can get. I wish I could enjoy those things, too. But I don't, due to traumatic experiences that I don't want to recount here. It's a lot more than just trans, but trans has become a huge part of it.
Can we go back to posting Charma? I want to post Charma. Please.
No.3760
>>3757Hard to pick, but I think my absolute most favourite is Char's Daily Life. Garma being an actual spoiled brat feels all the more poignant, since Char keeps hanging out with him, despite his OG incarnation claiming that to be a cause of his death.
I like the idea of Char getting parts of his memory back, and growing protective of Garma, then dealing with the angst of remembering why.
I also like Gihren's Greed Garma, although I wish the game had done more with Char. Garma still wanting to be friends with Char, even after being betrayed, is sweet as heck. I want them to rule together.
>>3758What chapter? I'm interested! I keep hearing fun things about Gundam-san, but I recall not really getting it the first few chapters and dropping it.

>>3760>What chapter? I'm interested! I keep hearing fun things about Gundam-san, but I recall not really getting it the first few chapters and dropping it.You know the chapters don't seem to be in order on batoto so I just compiled the arc from what I had downloaded
https://mega.nz/file/Fg0gFawI#FHDGXhqpwE2v1lFI5nshDPN7s5tPC40v-tbErTf0xbEIf you want to search anyway the chapters are originally in volumes 5, 6 and 8. It is actually just a little depressing near the end.
Yeah Gundam-san is a mixed bag when the jokes are "hehe Amuro horny" but I did like how it feels more like a gag manga than the average Gundam reference manga, especially in the arcs.
No.3766
>>3763Thank you, nona! The sheer respect and ho yay between Char and Garma in this makes me want to check out Gundam-san.
It was really cute, I love the idea of them saying 'fuck it' to everything and running away together.

Sometimes you never know how strongly you feel about a ship until you see one half of it with a new (well, "new") man get popular.

No.3992
>>3991He's a major character so you will be well fed. He's mostly shipped with Amuro tho.
I would say to start with 0079, the first series. If you don't have time there's the movie versions but the og anime has more character moments. If you want more Char and also pre One Year War, watch Origin, he's practically the mc in that one.
From there, you should watch Zeta and then ZZ afterwards. He has a starring role in the first one but he's not present in the second one, so you might be disappointed. But after that there's Char's Counterattack and if you want you can dive into the side content or AUs.
There's also a lesser known SoL/isekai manga starring him called Char's Daily Life but the characterizations are more ooc. I would recommend reading the spinoff where Haman is an office lady but you would mostly enjoy it if you are already deep into the UC canon.
No.3995
>>3991like other anons said, 0079, Zeta and CCA are the main canon Char primers, then he shows up in random spinoffs here and there like the comedy ones.
People usually rec the movies for 0079 but I had fun watching the series tbh. My favorite arc is the ending arc (when they go to space and things get weird)
Speaking of charmuro here's a recent Yas drawing for Sunrise World Sendai lol.
No.4000
>>3992>>3994>>3995Thank you very much, anons! I've started 0079 and am about 5 episodes in. It's strange - I actually like the dubs for this. I admit, before I saw episode 2, I was captivated by Chaalia Bull and the Yuri. And then I saw the battles which looked really snazzy. I tried 00 years ago and couldn't understand anything. This new thing felt like the Dynazenon and Shinkalion reboots - sleek, pastels and big ensemble cast - all stuff I love.
No.4019
>>4000I am so glad you like the dub! You are doing it right.
The dub was made in a time when animé dubs were still well done, since they were done to milk maximum moolah off of a TV audience. It really helps to 'get into it' if that makes sense, since old animé moves a lot slower than modern ones do, and the dialouge in this show is such that it really needs to be localized to travel well, if that makes sense.
Kudos for doing the series first, too.

>>3991Don't listen to the people who tell you to skip The Origin. It's a must-watch.
>>3992>He's mostly shipped with Amuro tho.And Garma.
>>3994>Nobody watches ZZ This is plainly wrong. And I liked ZZ more than Zeta, because it doesn't have as much Zeta bullshit and going in circles.
No.4031
>>4030> I liked ZZ more than ZetaHow is this even possible, kek.
Both ZZ and Zeta have bullshit, it's just a matter of whether you prefer housewification of hot villainesses or Four clones frotting the MC. But more power to you if you like wasting time on Mashmyre and Scrappy Char.
No.4032
>>4031Marshmallow was a peak Gundam character. He gave me many a laugh and he's the 80s /fa/ embodied, so I prefer him over the likes of cult leader Scirocco, schizo patient Reccoa or Rosamia the Newtype Drama Recycling Queen.
Chara is the best ZZ female character - Haman can't even compete.
Yazan becoming a running gag character was brilliant - way to trigger his fanboys, much appreciated.
No.4034
>>4032Based I also like ZZ more than Zeta. Sometimes a goofier cast can make up for a worse story.
No.4035
>>4032>>4034To be fair I watched this back in that phase where I thought all anime should be serious business maybe I'd appreciate ZZ more nowadays. I still have zero fondness for these wacky characters though, Chara being kept in the background like a pet just made me angry and Mashmyre while funny at first quickly got on my nerves. At least with Zeta I had zero issue being invested in Kamille's story. Reccoa and Scirroco are meh sure enough but I hardly even noticed them between the Chamuro violins and Kamille's righteous autism.
>>4033Somehow I find this awful, I want to protect Xavier from sex. There's no way he knows what it is, Sex Ojisan is just gonna traumatize him.

I'm a gundam firstimer and started with Gquux because I liked the OP song but is there something I must know in advance to understand the background significance of Char and Challia?
Not gonna lie, it's kinda funny how I lowkey expected Gquux to go the way of Gwitch where there's yuri everywhere and I thought it'd be the case but I keep seeing Challia's ass everywhere kek
****
No.4043
>>4042Yes, this is an alternative UC, so you should be familiar with the first Gundam (0079). You can watch the three compilation films instead of the TV show.
Gundam was a homobait franchise originally, so I find it funny that people expect yuri only because Gwitch had it.
No.4044
>>4041>But who is Rei?Kek you summed it up better than I could. Gquuux is not escaping the shadow of Anno huh.
Machu is a girl so she can't be. It's gonna fall to Shuji. My Shuji climax antagonist prediction is becoming more precise. I nailed Gwitch's very early on so surely I'll nail it this time too.
