THREAD OF BELFAST TO GUNDAM 0079 COMPARISON PHOTOS to prove to yall that im not losing my MIND whenever I say "belfast from gundam"

1. the docks themselves - they just look like that i mean u got the cranes, you got the warehouses, you got the hills in the back... thats Belfast!
2. You Thought These Gates Were Here Because Its a Federation Military Compound - THINK AGAIN thats just what belfast was like in the 70s

To go into town you had to go through security gates and get checked for like, pipe bombs n shit
3. the houses by the docks eh i mean they've KINDA got the vibe? i feel it
4. This Box thingy that White Base goes into - the way Belfast built ships was INSIDE A BOX THINGY - originally just scaffolding but then they became more warehousey like in the show

btw the current boxy warehouse down at the docks is what they made game of thrones in :/
5. and this applies to INSIDE the box as well - the dock white base sits in is really remeniscent of the dry docks they used to PUT SHIPS IN FOR MAINTENANCE
6. Its also worth mentioning the destruction of the city in gundam. there are PLENTY of reference photos of a bombed out belfast - some from ww2, some from the troubles, and like, man.... it hits hard
7. This lil coastal path. there's one Just like it by my house, and the thing that really GETS me about this one is the lines where the concrete meet...? why did the animators include this? how did they KNOW??? WHAT DID THEY REFERENCE???? HOW DID THEY KNOW!!!!??
8. ALSO i dont know why the animators would even bother referencing a Specific Hill but this hill where the missiles is is Cavehill, To Me.

They PUT MISSILES ON THE NOSE OF CAVE HILL im so upset
so thats why I lost my shit whenever I watched these Gundam episodes - a combination of valid Real Life comparisons, followed by immediate projection onto the rest of the scenery

This is where I live you guys. I recognised it and then I got to see completely destroyed. Again.
OH THEY JUST NAMEDROP IT IN THE MOVIES HUH
