I disagree. Saving Private Ryan which another poster mentioned is very action heavy. Are you saying that doesn't do a good job showing 'war sucks'? I think the real issue is that heavy action causes a lot of people to not look for depth. Yes, gundam has flashy, glorified fight scenes. But if you pay attention to the character's reactions, why they are fighting, the entirety of those suffering from the fighting, etc those are almost always clearly anti-war.
That isn't a good comparison at all. SPR is an infantry battle, live action, and iirc rated R. Gundam battles are almost always mechanized (thus less humanized), they're animated (thus less realistic), and they're meant to be accessable by a young audience as well as air on tv (in an accessible time slot). Of course SPR conveys the brutality of war better. However, just because other things do it better, doesn't mean Gundam doesn't also do it. |

 These people are crazy. I thought you were all against international conflict, Japan.
Sure, Gundam starts as a war, but the majority of the time it's all about independence from Earth. Even now in Iron Blooded Orphans its like that. There's a disagreement, there's a desire for monopoly of the belligerents, people get killed, payback here and there, etc. Everyone is a greedy jerk. |

1000 facepalms wouldn't be enough. Build Fighters is about a game, a game. Were you pro-war/pro violence when as a kid you played cops vs robbers ? Or were you pro genocide when playing cowboys vs indians ? Or pro nazi when playing with panzer toy tanks ?
