This is a perfect metaphor for Gundam, on the surface it seems like a fun anime about fighting robots, but its so much more sophisticated than anything of its time, and theres never been anything that could live up to what Gundam represents and stands for.
This is why I love my country so much. You say "horrors" of war. In America we use terms like glory, honor, excitement, purity, and joy when describing war. We live for battle, to destroy the enemies of mankind. This is ever the difference between those who fight for themselves, and those who fight for others, even when it means fighting themselves sometimes.
@@ivonlee5482 Says a non American. It's not a race, it's not a species, it's not even a religion. It's a pact, a vow, and we make it the day we are born. We break it the day we attend hippie shit like Woodstock or Burning-man. War is all we are. Killing is all we are good for. The rest is delusion. Existence needed peace and justice, and out of that need we were born.
@@dragoneye6229 ...what about what I said is un-American? Listen here you little turd wagon, I am from Texas, the most American state in America. The America of America. Anyways... have you ever spoken to a combat veteran? Have you ever talked to a man who has taken lives in war? None of them would want their children to go through that. Im sure if you spoke to the right veteran, you would probably get punched in the mouth for saying such ignorant things. Listen, I know the direction you are striving for. To serve your country is honorable. To seek out evil and kill it is honorable. I know this is what you are trying to articulate. But understand that these tasks can be horrific as well. There is no glory in shooting a 16 year old kid in the face because he was drafted and put into the uniform of your enemy. There is no glory in gunning down a woman running towards your checkpoint, but you dont know if she has a bomb and you cant understand eachother because you speak different languages. Its not the fantasy you have in your head. Talk to some veterans. Read the Hagakure. And read the Bible. Once you get a real perspective get yourself to a recruiters office.
listening to this song in Japanese without knowing the lyrics: oh man, this song is so uplifiting it rocks. listening to this with english lyrics and knowing what it means: oh shit, this is actually depression.
Ah yes. "WAR IS HELL AND EVERYONE YOU LOVE COULD DIE AT ANY MOMENT." The anime. And 12 year old me will never forget hearing the original version of this in Journey to Jaburo on PS2 while fighting Char. Such an amazing game.
@@HaloFTW55 And multiples more died when no one did anything instead. I'll take 30 million over the 60 that were killed in Russia prior to the war alone.
And what constitutes a socialist? If it’s legalized can I kill anyone I don’t like and justify it as them being socialist? Not sure how we’d identify a socialist, it’s not like they wear signs saying “Hey! I’m a socialist!”
I find it funny this song sounds so godamned happy in Japanese, like if you didn't know Japanese it sounds like a party song or something. You imagine people dancing in the flowers, not blood and burnt out skeletons. Its mood whiplash: the song.
It's my understanding that he wasn't the fan (at least initially), but that it was his road-man who was a giga-fan and apparently on tour they'd have to make stops all over so their roadman could buy gunpla, so finally AWK asked about it and the dude info dumped on him for like a week straight
If that Z'gok gets any closer, the GM won't be able properly point his rifle, he could whip out his beam saber, but the Zeek probably got in a few hits by then. He ded.
Unfortunately, only the vital points of the mobile suit (not counting the cockpit funny enough) are made of gundarium. That GM is also the sniper variation, and has almost no time to react to that Z'gok bashing its pilot in through its back
