Why the Universal Century is Better Than Any Other Gundam Timeline

In anticipation of the upcoming Gundam Unicorn OVA and to celebrate the 30th anniviersary of Gundam, I thought now would be a good time to explain why the Universal Century timeline is so much better than any other Gundam timeline.

Back in the seventies and the eighties, when men still had balls, director Yoshiyuki Tomino single-handedly laid down the foundation of what could have become the ballsiest series in the history of mankind – Mobile Suit Gundam. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, something went horribly wrong. My guess is that Sunrise mistook Tomino’s huge balls for batshit insanity and for that reason allowed other directors to smear their feces all over the franchise. Today, Gundam is nothing more than a metrosexual emo-hippie-shit-fest devoid of anything even remotely resembling balls.

You might remember Tomino as the sub-par director/writer whose gimmick was to kill off any and every of his characters. You are absolutely right. Death was, however, not the only theme Tomino explored in the earlier Gundam shows. Tomino also had the balls to deal with issues such as indecent exposure, the attraction to young girls and surprise sex.

Indecent Exposure
In the earlier days, Gundam used to shove breasts in your face all the time. Not strategically covered breasts, but the real fucking deal. Glorious breasts with nipples. Tiny nipples, but nipples nonetheless. Also, uncensored genitals. Those were the days.

Attraction to Young Girls
Char Aznable, the most badass guy in the history of anime, was a lolicon. (more…)
