I know some names in the universe are ridiculous but that just sounds like someone's name that they just slapped on to a gun and then call it A-day. Then again this is the same series that gave us one of the names from iron Blooded orphans that I still say to this day is 1 of the stupidest names I've ever heard for a gundam: Rebuke Full City. I know I know there's a significance behind that 1 but it's still a dumb name. Nice video surrounding these very obscure mobile suits Kararot!

its actually a pretty funny in universe joke. GMs are also called Jims. Jim is a diminutive was to call James. the jamesgun is also a smaller size MS compared to the original GMs. also, the gun part is probably from Gundan(which is the word for army), so its name is amissnomer for GM Army.

The Zeon wars were over 50 years ago by the time of Victory Gundam though, the Earth Federation was in a deep economic recession and in their estimation couldn't support a strong military without risking economic collapse. The turmoil created by the recession was one of the reasons Zanscare rose to prominence in the first place as a reactionary group that gained traction as the Federation was floundering. The Federation chose to quietly slink away and hope for the best, which... was not a great decision as it turned out.
@gtf234 Жыл бұрын
After Char's Counterattack and Unicorn, the UC was overall far less chaotic; things like the Oldsmobile Army were isolated incidents more than they were full civilization scale wars, and the era began with nearly 30 years of relative peace. Earth was also declining into a prolonged economic recession, the Federation was in that regard scaling back its military spending significantly- it's shown to be one of the resolutions in Unicorn's finale and epilogue. Part of those cuts involved scaling back its presence in space and riding out whatever mobile suits they already had for as long as possible- the Jegan being a prime example of that being still mainlined by F90/F91 despite being 30 years old. Also worth keeping in mind, Late UC material constantly jumps forward multiple decades- thus why the Jamesgun and Javelin were introduced already severely obsolete in their animated appearances. The Cosmo Babylon conflict was 123 and the nation barely survived 5 years before bankrupting itself and dissolving; Zanscare didn't form and invade until the late 140's-early 150s. Most of the Crossbone material is fairly isolated away from the broader eye of the Federation- out on the Jupiter Sphere where they've largely stopped paying attention to. The overt need to keep improving upon them wasn't so ever-present the way it was in Pre-CCA UC- stagnation inevitably keeps setting in and thus we have the Crossbone Dust material, where it's gone from stagnation to outright decline and those outer colonies are basically now in a relatively lawless Waring States period.

it wouldnt do much? n-jammer isnt a power enhancer, so their beam shots would still be the same. all it does is allow nuclear power use, and nuclear power only gives... power. so it wouldnt need to use batteries. all in all, they would perform literaly the same, only with an extented deployment time. in the end the only 3 units that would make use of it are the aegis(for the scylla cannon), the blitz for infinite invisibility and MAYBE the buster for continuous rifle/shotgun shots, which also doesnt seem like that important since that unit battery is much bigger compared to the other machines(also the weapons have their own batteries as well).

at this point just go to a streaming site and watch it there. also, yeah, the show isnt the best. its basically dumb depressed tomino sharting his way into AU-ness, and calling it part of the UC. it does have its redeeming qualities. the animation is great, being late 89 early 90's. the character designs and personalities is also solid. but the story and the MS design leaves ALOT to be desired. in many ways, if you like how dumb the grunts look in crossbone, you probably shouldnt have a problem with them in victory, some actually look great, almost like very streamlined versions of old designs. i particularly like the looks of the shokew line, and the gengaozo. also, the gottrlatan looks like an evolution of the gerbera tetra kai(although i still like the GT more).

Bite-sized mobile suits and Yoshiyuki's fits of murderous depression aside, the design language from F91-onwards just felt...odd to me. Suddenly instead of the iconic monoeyes the spacenoids are using weird robot Darth Vaders, and the Feddies are countering them with mini-Jegans whose textures still aren't loaded. I mean I wouldn't call the later UC designs 'bad' just, they look odd to me. As someone whose favorite era of design is the 0080-Char's Counterattack one.
