Ok but do tell us abt the Italian dub lore, please.

ok so. ahfkajd maybe lore is a big word but its a series of facts that are HILARIOUS to me and my boyfriend lmfao. this is going to be long I Think

so! fun fact! italy is the first country that aired gundam 0079 outside of japan! in 1980 i believe. so we have this generation of boomers who grew up watching gundam and other mecha shows who are constantly complaining about Today’s Cartoons Being Bad. which is. okay whatever. but also…! i am pretty sure that the television channel who bought gundam had no idea what it is about. and so the translations feel very off and more often than not theyre wrong or just. its impossible to understand what is happening!

for example, out of curiosity i watched the first episode of vintage dub edition (which is on amaz*n prime. they removed the original series in japanese and left vintage edition there. ok whatever. explode).

i get to the first sayla and char meeting scene and. nothing about their interaction leads you to believe that theyre brother and sister. char calls her “blondie”. its just. what. i remember even seeing italian comments under gundam videos going like: “oh i recently rewatched gundam in japanese with subtitles and so many things make sense now! i had no idea char and sayla were related!”

and its funny to me. because as i said earlier this generation of mostly Men in their 50s believe everything thats not gundam or their other old mecha shows is shit. but they had no idea of what was happening in the show!!! i guess the message about war still came across but idk. its funny

the other funny thing is that italian television channels used to do this thing in the past where they would completely change characters name if they felt like they were too difficult for ita viewers. and thats how… we got Peter Rei! commander of the robot! (i’ll get to this quote in a bit.)

yes. amuro is peter. and char is scia (which is cute and kinda a pun bc scia means trail and comets leave trails!). sayla is pronounced seira like in japanese. mirai is flammet (???). fraw is mirka. haro is pallina!!!!! (little bouncy ball…….)

the dub is really bad. peter amuro sounds like an old guy. chars voice is kinda cute and fitting but everything else is a mess. but we got………… gundam italian opening!!!!! which is kinda a banger despite the lyrics being so. ???

heres the opening

the lyrics, translated:

“here we are, we are you friends,

and my name is peter rei!

there they are, assaulting us, never be afraid!

because there’s someone here who will think of you!

(gundam gundam gundam etc)

my friends, here i am, peter rei,

commander of the robot!

i am the guy who says No! to the enemies,

because no one else can!

(no one can defeat…. gundam!!!!!!)”

there’s also a longer version with other insane lyrics like Oooh here comes the indestructible guntank!!! which is. lol

ok, one last thing also

the episodes names are hilarious.

“gundam flies!” “garma dies!”

“good job flammet(mirai)!” ????

(theres some episodes missing obviously, but these are the names of the last episodes and its so funny)

gundam must win!

gundam wins again!

gundam is invincible

gundam’s enemies

BRAVO GUNDAM!!!!

no one is stronger than gundam….

lmfao really feels like grandpappy gundam is giving itself a pep talk for motivation. cmon gundy u can do it…

ok i think im done LMFAO SORRY maybe this is all irrelevant but its funny to ME

#sorry for autismo moment unfortunately it will happen again <3 #thank u abi for indulging me

Okayyyyyy, I took a quick break bc irl stuff was overwhelming me and it seemed like a decent amount of lore was coming up so I wanted to save it for the weekend and now here I am lol

Ive been trying to watch tftsmp as well which has been p difficult bc theyve just kinda stopped including those in the playlist after the wild west one, so Ive been paying attention to when what came out so I could watch each vod at the right time. The last one came out on the february 11th 2022 and Im currently in the january 2022 era of the main smp so Im hoping to get to february today so that I could just spend the entire day tomorrow rewatching all the tftsmp stuff before watching this one, since its the only one i havent watched yet

Sidenote but I loved tftsmp more than anything else that came out of dsmp and this was by far the thing I missed the most when I lost interest in dsmp and the thing I was most excited for going into this rewatch so I went to the wiki to look up how many episodes came out since then, expecting a decent number even if Karl took more time in between episodes as they got more elaborate n stuff, BUT NO

one of the most dissapointing things of the year 2022 for me and that was in december and I had a pretty shit year lmao

On the bright side, it looks like they went out with a fucking bang, theres a brief one sentence summary in the description of the vod on youtube and the premise seems so good and fun and Slimecicle is gonna play a role??? HELL YES his performance as Slime from The Ground was literally so good i cant wait
