Turn A Gundam: Difference between revisions

Line 56:

** Loran's coloring is probably [[Rule of Symbolism|symbolic]]. He's a member of the Moonrace who has lived on Earth for years, feels a sense of loyalty to both sides, and so spends the series trying above all else to help them live in peace. [[Fridge Brilliance|And he has silver/white hair, and brown (earth-tone) skin.]]

* [[David Versus Goliath]]: The Earthrace militias are at a severe technological disadvantage even after excavating mobile dolls from the Mountain Cycles, apart from the Turn A. {{spoiler|And it turns out to be an inversion whenever the Turn A fights anything.}}

* [[Days of Future Past]]: Why does the post-apocalyptic future look like a cross between [[The American Civil War]] & [[World War ~~One~~]]? Maybe those scheming [[Sentou Mecha Xabungle|Innocents]] or [[Super Robot Wars|Magus]] were obsessed with old Pre-WWII nostalgia pieces...

* [[Days of Future Past]]: Why does the post-apocalyptic future look like a cross between [[The American Civil War]] & [[World War I]]? Maybe those scheming [[Sentou Mecha Xabungle|Innocents]] or [[Super Robot Wars|Magus]] were obsessed with old Pre-WWII nostalgia pieces...

** Justified: {{spoiler|the Moonlight Butterfly deployed at the end of the Black History dissolved (most of) the technology on the Earth to dust. Naturally, it takes a while for humanity to get back on its high-tech feet.}}

** Apart from the Industrial Neo-Americans, there are Neo-Mayans in Adeska (who worship a {{spoiler|mass driver}}). It's not hard to imagine post-apocalyptic humanity reverting to old cultures.

Line 84:

* [[Flash Step]]: {{spoiler|One of Turn A's abilities. It's actually more like a [[Invisibility Cloak|cloak step]]--the Gundam briefly becomes invisible, so wherever it appears next is a surprise.}}

* [[Gender Is No Object]]: Certainly true for the Moonrace. Dianna is the clear political leader, and there are many female pilots and technicians in the military. This is less true of the Earthrace--women can and do join the military, but it's said that they haven't progressed enough to be politically led by "someone in a skirt."

* [[Genetic Memory]]: At one point, Kihel muses that the people on Earth might have residual, instinctual memories of the Black History, which may be why technology hasn't ''quite'' caught up. Almost as if there's some kind of mental failsafe to prevent it from happening again. {{spoiler|This also may explain however why [[History Repeats]] so similarly.}}

* [[Ghibli Hills]]: No wonder the Moonrace want Earth so badly. Of course, it's been millennia since the {{spoiler|Moonlight Butterfly apocalypse.}}

** It's implied that Ameria is one of the few places where this is true.

Line 131:

* [[Lucky Charms Title]]: ∀ Gundam.

** Actually subverted - the inverted A symbol was put in the title for a specific reason (see Meaningful Name below.)

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8xoI6BWJYA&feature=relmfu After All],'' sung by Donna Burke sounds like something out of a Don Bluth or Disney film. The lyrics on the other hand come across as melancholic and a tad apocalyptic for an otherwise wistful song.

* [[Mayincatec]]: Adeska.

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Merrybell [[Wrench Wench|Gadget]] and Dian(n)a.

Line 223:

* [[Writer Revolt]]: See Wholesome Crossdresser above.

** Maybe even the whole series as a whole, considering on how different it is to mainstream shows, including other shows in the same genre or even franchise.

* [[X Meets Y]]‎: It's basically ''Gundam'' blended in with ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'' and ''[[The War of the Worlds]]'' along with a dash of ''[[H.P. Lovecraft]]'' {{spoiler|and ''[[Space Runaway Ideon]]'' thanks to the civilization-destroying Moonlight Butterfly.}}
