That's because you keep trying to binge watch them all.  Skip doing that and just watch them as you have time.
tried that...its like people know i want to watch it
example within 2 minutes my phone is off the hook

its like return of the jedi 2.0

since early 1984 i had never ever watched that movie in one shot
the movie either breaks at same spot or something happens that i am un able to watch it its a spot where han and rest are getting id at the shield and have an older code so far film broke dvd died when i went to a the theater caught on fire projector at theater dies and another caught on fire unwanted visitors drop by my dvd died my pc ate the dvd and scratched the disk vhs tape fed the vcr at same spot rented a tape to find some one swapped the tapes inside the case for porn
you sure cannot out run death...but sure as hell you can make that bastard work for it!

Then tell people you're busy for a while, turn off the phone, and watch yourself some Gundam.  They can wait.

Yeah, if you're not a first responder then you can probably afford to let something go to voicemail and listen to the message 20 minutes later.

Nice!

This might be something my wife might watch along with me.
We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.

Man, if only we could have a Btech series in the same style.

Maybe the prequel story of Avanti's Angels, facing off against the might of the clans, despairing last stand after last stand, would be a great tale.

Given that G-Saviour set the bar extremely low for Gundam, I doubt that even Netflix can screw it up.

While I'm looking very forward to watching the series, I'm hoping that they be somewhat careful with the lore. Adding another Gundam variant to the One Year War out of nowhere.

So they uploaded the Reconquista in G movie series on the Gundaminfo YouTube Channel; its interesting but its really not grabbing me at all

The big challenge with G Reco is that Bellri is the main character but he doesn't care about the plot at all. There's all this important stuff going on in the background while Bellri is getting hype about fighting people in the Gundam & chasing girls around.

G-Reco wasn't UC Century for me, and I'm still not interested in it.  I'm also not a fan of the Turn-A look it has either.

Reconquista was attempted to me to continue Turn-A as Canon by the original writer. I admire the animation, I did not like how story was handled.  Main characters, nevermind the timeline was ... crappy and sloppy. Too many plot dumb pills were taken.  They should have not linked UC to this at all .

So I got thru the first Movie and started the 2nd though its getting difficult to grind thru this series; and that's A shame because I'm a huge UC Gundam fan more than any of the other timelines.

It says that Tomino wrote the series but ill be perfectly frank, I'm not seeing his style of writing in this at all. Bellri does not fit with other UC main Gundam protagonists and is really hard to take seriously as even a Gundam pilot at this point. The female characters so far are also hard to take seriously and seem like carbon copies of Fraw, Cagalli,and even Sayla in some aspects. I am also still confused by the plot; if this timeline takes place after the UC era, I feel like they should have done a better job of explaining how the new era came to be. I really don't like the animation style at all; it seems way too flashy in a ways.

As for Turn A; I watched it years ago but was kind of meh on it. While the setting was kind of interesting with the tech of the world receeding to a pre-industrial state, I couldn't connect that much to the characters too much. Plus the Turn A still looks ugly to me.

I'm surprised Gundam Age has yet to be uploaded; though I've heard nothing but negative things about the series.

Age seemed niche.  It was pretty popular model-wise and certainly in the games.

Gundam Age was made with a pretty heavily flawed gimmick from the start. Age tried to fit something like 4 seasons of Gundam into 50 eps. They were trying to tell a multi generational story, but everything was way to compressed with none of its storylines or characters really allowed to gel before they were into the next arc and a new generation of pilots. Its hard to get emotional invested in someone's tragic death when you've only met them last week.

The whole purpose of G-Reco (besides as Tomino described it as giving work to talented older animators) is to bridge UC & Turn A. The plot of G-Reco is essentially how the interstellar civilization left over from the Universal Century collapsed in the Reguild Century, leading to the isolated Earth at the start of Turn A in the Correct Century. Bellri is different from other Gundam protagonists because he reflects the failure and degredation of Reguild society - he is he is impulsive & self-absorbed to the last, never expanding his awareness or growing his curiousity in the way past Gundam pilots did. As is typical of Tomino's writing, it is the female characters that step in to motherly save the main character from himself, but in G-Reco, Bellri never really evolves past quarreling & foolish games. He's a commentary on a failed generation.

Hmm.....that's got to be the best analogy I've ever heard when it comes to a Gundam series; it even makes me see ReConquista G and Turn A in a new light, possibly even deciding to press on with the movies.

Thank you

On the Gundam-related front, I watched the fourth Trailer to Gundam Seed Freedom and it looks interesting; though it will probably be a while before we get it here. I still feel that this movie is coming out 15 years too late however and feel that Bandai is simply trying to boost Model sales at this point

Similar to Girls und Panzer for the idea of highschool girls doing military things, this time in the Navy.  Not a bad series from what I've heard, but not great like GuP.

It's pretty good, & it's got a pretty passionate cult following. It's little bit more focused on actual seamanship & a significantly less on military trivia and zany combat stunts, which makes it not as great in my book.

The best part was where they may have sunk a submarine from a boy's school with all hands and no one so much as batted an eye.

I watch Toonami on Cartoon Network for the past few years, religiously as I rarely get enough to pay for Crunchyroll.

Anyway, I know I'm missing out on stuff... Prefer to own and watch pantless and a bigger bowl, three bags, of Popcorn and a 2-liter, or dinner while watching them.

And so far I actually like IGPX... Like Mechwarrior and Speed Racer combined...
