    We’re all just here for the mechs anyway. It’s the same thing as a Godzilla flick (barring -1 and Shin). We’re not here for the plot - just show us the giant monsters fighting, and we’re happy.

      I mean, I like my giant robot fights to have some decent story and characters too, y’know? The grey, gritty, grounded portrayal of war is what makes me a gundam fan over other mecha series.

      But yeah, in this case, the gorgeous mecha animation at the very least balances out the basic writing.

        You are 100% right. I’ve even said before on here that a GOOD Godzilla movie lives and dies by the human plot. I’m not saying the story doesn’t matter, but in the grand scheme of things if the plot is lacking, the monster/mech scenes are really what matters here. Good writing and plots only elevate it that much more.

      Literally this. TOHO, who makes Godzilla, assisted production. From the way fights are portrayed to general feel, RfV is Godzilla Gundam and I am here for it.

        I felt like they portrayed the terror of the Gundam so well in the series, showing us a side we haven’t really had a chance to see before. They nailed that so well IMO, TOHO really put their magic into it and it shows.
