Binged Requiem last night. Plenty of B-Movie cheese in the dialogue and some character designs. Lots of jank.

However, the mood every time the Gundam showed up is undeniable. I liked the Jason reference, but instead to me this Gundam wasn't horror. It has an efficiency/no lack of wasted movement in its fighting that oozed true combat machine instead of most of the other drama mama Gundams. This thing meant business and it delivered like a mission-focused soldier would.

Very different feel to me and I liked that. It was fun to watch as long you go in prepared to forgive the cheese.

Ya, i liked how the Gundam was the nemesis of the show and had an almost sinister vibe going.

My son just walked in on me watching episode 1. He asked me what old PS3 game I was playing lol

Lol. Yes, to me the character animation was the worst aspect. The mecha action was fun though.

i thought the ending was trash.

 

Pilot is a Newtype and can't sense that ending???

I think he totally sensed the ending. He got so confused by knowing that the Zaku pilot was gonna abandon her child and continue fighting, even though she said she didn’t want further conflict. He was just so shocked by the future stupidity of the bad writing, that he was overwhelmed and then got stabbed.

If that were the case, no new types would die. Right?

I think sneaking up on a new type that skilled would be difficult. Maybe if the battlefield was more chaotic, then it wouldn’t be as easy to sense hostility.

it’s still not the worst part of the ending

but that's not the case. Amuro died. Char died, just because the show is inconsistent doesn't automatically imply Newtypes can't die.

the correct critique is the entire 6 episodes set up the newtype ability foreseeing danger.

Newtypes died in battle by superior newtype ability or sacrificial acts such as Quess saving Hathaway, but not as some random NPC

The Gundam pilot was clearly distracted and having a serious moment of doubt.

I think it's ok if a new type dies in an un explored way. The kid had some conflicting emotions, as others have. And his change of heart was surely letting his guard down.

I'm not saying the writing didn't have issues, and i do agree , the new types death wasn't the worst part of the writing. 
Nevertheless, i found the story to be entertaining and much better than many other Gundam entries.
