Universal Century

 * The Unicorn Gundam in general:
 * Full Frontal:
 * Banagher Links - Overpowered Pacifist AKA UC's Kira Yamato:
 * Look at this: the two start off as forced to pilot the main Gundam of the story, the two are put on the path of pacifism (Kira is forced while Banagher was actually already on the way), and the ultimate comparison is that the two are so fucking overpowered.
 * Is Ple 2 alive or not?!:
 * Okay, how is Ple 2 alive after Gundam ZZ? I don't know if I'm supposed to consider Gundam EVOLVE non-canon or not, but based on Bandai saying any animated work is canon, that raises the question of how did Ple 2 survive. See, in ZZ, Ple 2 got killed protecting Judau and guiding him outside of Side 3, but in one episode of Gundam EVOLVE showed at the end that she survived as she appears before Judau in a Qubeley Mass Production unit.
 * The Story of Gundam Unicorn:
 * So, let me get this straight... The event that started the Universal Century, the mass deportation of humanity into space because of the Earth being overpopulated, was not that at all? It was the hope that humanity would evolve in the environment of space to lead the rest of humanity forward into the future? Um, bullshit. The Federation, no matter the era or decade, is a corrupt government that's only interested in the Earth's people and having control over the spacenoids, as evident of why the One Year War, the Gryps Conflict, all of the Neo Zeon Conflicts, AND the conflicts against both the Crossbone Vanguard and the Zanscare Empire even happened. No-one in the Federation, especially the higher ups (besides for General Revil) do not care what the people of space think or feel about anything, and, if anything, the Titans basically invoked this point of view with physical force, to the point where they were out of control and were willing to kill the people of Earth as long as it contributed to the war against the AEUG. But let's give this a chance to develop, maybe it'll mean something. Okay, the colony of Laplace is destroyed, and Syam Vist is the only survivor. Why did he survive that damn explosion of the colony? And how did he survive? Was he sitting on the furthest seat away from the blast radius that hit the small transport ship?

After Colony

Cosmic Era

 * Ramius is a piss-poor captain:
 * Kira "Jesus" Yamato:
 * The Impulse-Freedom Fight in general:

Advanced Generation

 * The Structure of this Three Generation Story:
 * Part 1:
 * While, on a personal level, I enjoyed Gundam AGE for it's animation, fights, and mobile suits, the story is the thing that killed it. Note on the title, it's just one of the things that's wrong. First of all, the characters, oh god are they nearing the intelligence level of the people of the Cosmic Era. It seems to me that the only real intelligent people in the Advanced Generation are Captain Grodek (who's killed), Flit Asuno (who dies of old age), and Captain Einus (I do feel sorry for this girl). In Grodek's case, he basically was the man for Generation 1, with Flit in a close second, since Grodek was basically capable of rendering the small army the Vegans (or the UE during AG115) sent into being completely useless. He also planned ahead, and while he brought us the unforgivable arc of Generation 1, he still was able to think very intelligently and managed to outsmart the Vegans. It's times when he does this that makes me wonder if he's actually a Newtype. For Flit, he basically designed the AGE-1, the AGE-Builder, the AGE-System, and everything else related to the AGE-Device, and by Generation 2 and 3, he managed to reach Grodek levels of intelligence, that is until he was convinced by Kio to not to outright kill the Vegan people. Say what you will about them being human still and it being inhumane to do so, but I can argue that it's justified since it seems that everyone from the Mars colony is completely insane if they're willing to believe the words EzelCUNT-I mean Ezelcant and go into a homicidal rage on the enemy based just on the belief of living on earth. Trust me, these people have been drink Ezelcant's Koolaid, and they are not well. As for Natora Einus (poor girl must of been picked on as a child), she's intelligent because she knew her limits and knew that captaining the fucking Diva would be too much for her, but she got stuck into the position anyway. Because of it, she tries to improve herself and she actually starts learning how to be a good captain, at least good enough to be above the thought level of our resident worse captain ever Murrue Ramius.
 * Part 2:
 * The second sub-problem is the pacing of the story. If you don't know, the director was one from Level 5 (the company Sunrise decides to team up with to bring us AGE), and if you don't know, Level 5 is a game producing company who've made many critically acclaimed games, like for example the Professor Layton series. I feel the need to repeat this because it sounds VAGUELY important. The director has only directed VIDEO GAMES, not TV shows or animes. Because of his inexperience, he decided to direct the series as if it were a bunch of in-game cutscenes. And for anyone who's watched AGE, you know that the effect he was looking for was a success since it felt like you should've pulled out a controller and try to skip the unimportant cutscene so you could kill the boss. There's also another problem in pacing, and that's with the conveying of the length the show has. You know with a 12 episode anime or show, they have little time to dick around with the story, but with a 50 episode anime, or like a shounen jump anime, the pacing goes at snail's speed. While AGE is 50 episodes, three sections of the episode count is devoted to the Generation Arcs, and the first generation is just 15 episode long, but the generation makes itself act like a standard 50 episode show. And it wastes time in one minor story arc that could of just been three episodes, but it lasts until the end of the generation. It's just a pointless waste of time, and guess what? It's a problem that lasts for the entirety of AGE.
 * Part 3:
 * The third problem with story is that it's obvious. Obvious that AGE wants to be the Universal Century, and I don't mean like the mobile suits look like the ones from the UC timeline, I mean scenes are literally cut out of any story of the Universal Century from 0079 to fucking Crossbone and then pasted into the story of AGE. Let's count the ways if you don't believe me here. There's the attack of the Nora Colony (and I know that's a staple in Gundam), when Flit has to go onto Woolf's mobile suit in space, the mobile suits, pirates in mobile suits, one main character in the pirate mobile suit group.

Build Fighters

 * The Star Build Strike's Absorb Shield:
 * There's nothing really wrong with it technical-wise, but there's is a sort of problem I have for more personal reasons. See, I designed this thing (TKK/M-0000 Ikaruga Gundam) in about august of 2012 as a sort anti-Ransac unit and I did this with the ability to use the enemy's beam fire as refined, repurposed energy to fuel it and to be used in conjuction with the more power-draining weapons like the Rotary Beam Launchers on the shoulders, and the feature would be shield-like in existence, protecting the body while at the same time, absorbing the shots into it's power supply. WELL GUESS WHAT? Bandai decided to include, in Gundam Build Fighters, nearly two years after I designed my Ikaruga Gundam, the Star Build Strike Gundam, with it's Absorb Shield. That's my only thing with the shield, but otherwise, it's perfectly fine by me.
