INTEREST: Toshio Okada Rips Apart Gundam Reconguista

Eh, Reccoa said it herself, she's a thrill chaser. She had no beliefs or philosophy like you're stating so how is it out of character, people who say she abandons AEUG for plot convenience were not paying attention to her actions throughout the show but I guess the fact that a character is written to be abominable makes him/her a bad character anyways.

In my opinion Build Fighters is a lot better than G-Reco.

A pandering crapfest is much better than an actual product of labor? This is the current anime fandom folks and you people wonder why they keep making fanservice and harem anime sense they appeal to the lowest common denominator

Character design looks like E7 because the character designer is the same in both shows.

I am enjoying Reconguista.... I agree it can be quite confusing and SOME of the dialogue is clunky; the story is also presented in a very unfriendly (for the viewer) manner

I find it hilarious that you say this about the show,yet you think Eva 3.33 is terrible, oh, the irony.

Remember the episode the main cast spent making sure fighting didn't break out between them and the Zeons, and the next episode immediately had them fighting without explanation? Or how they suddenly feel an intense need to kill Scirocco even though he never actually did anything for the whole series? Or when Char got the opportunity to tell the world about how the Titans were fascists and he instead said some hippie thing about how nobody should live on the Earth? Or when Camille opened his space suit while in space?

That show is bananas.

Do you people never pay attention to the series you watch? Reccoa made it clear - she talked about how she's lived on whole life on the battlefield and now she only feels alive when she's risking her life. She's a thrill junky. spoiler[That's why she took the mission to sneak onto Scirocco's ship. By the time that happened, she was already thinking of leaving the AEUG because she didn't feel like she was doing enough.]

Do you always have to be as condescending as possible when you respond to someone? She's a thrill junkie, so she wanted to risk her life because she felt she wasn't doing enough? She was already risking her life in the first place and being with Scirocco wasn't any more dangerous than being with the AEUG. Don't pretend like her leaving wasn't mostly about Char rejecting her and also don't pretend that her magically falling in love with Scirocco at first sight had nothing to do with it.

Because the way I see it, everything is flawed and I just weight the pros and cons after watching something to reach some sort of subjective score. G-Reco definitely has issues, but I find several traits that make me enjoy the show.
Eva 3.33 was absolute trash imo because I literally couldn't find anything to enjoy about it with the exception of decent production values (which I didn't even enjoy cause of the horrid pacing and the annoying characters. Btw I did like the first two movies, so I wasn't expecting 3.33 to be THAT awful).

She had no beliefs or philosophy? Who's the one who doesn't pay attention to the series that they watch? Let me be clear. Reccoa is repeatedly demonstrated to be a kind, decent person before her random betrayal. Her being a thrill seeker doesn't change that, nor would it change where her allegiance lies, as being a thrill seeker is just one aspect of her character.

Tomino didn't write her to be abominable. In fact, he attempts to humanize her by having her show concern about the fates of her former comrades, and that's even after she aids in that attack to kill all those people.

I'm sorry, but repeatedly accusing people of not paying attention in order to distract from your refusal to back up your statements doesn't make for a persuasive argument.

I don't know ChocoBar1, it's been awhile since I've rewatched the show, but I agree with AsherFischell here. Sure, Reccoa was a thrill seeker but love at first sight with Scirocco? Apparently, Scriocco just screams bad boy. And then you have what Cptn_Taylor said about her and Char.

You? Because apparently you didn't even know she was a thrill seeker and only joined the AEUG as a means to excite herself not because she believed in the cause or what she said. Nothing in Zeta Gundam suggests that she is a "decent" person or else you're foolish enough to think that Jerid was a decent person just because he had a few moments in the limelight to flesh him out. It's not "random" if you actually pay attention to her mannerisms, the fact that she's always the first to rush into danger or how she tries to cling to Char, she's a superficial human being.

It's like you pretty much want to ignore what she said after her betrayal but considering you didn't even know about the other side of her this is not to be surprising.

Says the person that has not back up a single statement and is just going off a random tangent

When, exactly, did this become a debate on the merits of Zeta Gundam? (Which is brilliant, by the way.)

I think what Choco said does support why she wasn't super loyal to AEUG, but I agree the actual specific reason she switched sides was because she fell for Scirocco and where as Char refused to see her as a woman, Scirocco did.

lol we're printing blatant hate articles now and trying to direct opinion in a certain direction. Keep on keeping on with that rather obvious bias ANN. You're no different from the general blogosphere.
