Re: Turn A Gundam and Gundam X

Sorry, I didn't want to start into it in case it was already discussed elsewhere. Obviously there are many parallels between the two as with most Gundam shows. Young Protagonist gets a Gundam and fights to save the world. However, these two stories take place almost exclusively on Earth after catast...

Turn A Gundam and Gundam X

First, I think that Gundam X may be in my top 3 favorite Gundam list. It's too bad it wasn't finished properly. Anyway, after watching Turn A, I couldn't help but think that many of the ideas that were trying be to developed in Gundam X were used in Turn A as main aspects of the story. At times, at ...

Re: The Official Gundam The Origin Anime Thread Mk I

Just wondering if the lightheadedness was seen throughout the manga as well? Yes, absolutely. You could almost say it's one of Yas' trademarks. One of his first works for TV was Kun-Kun , a cute series about prehistoric kids. Ahh shucks. That's too bad for me. Kudos to them for staying true to the ...

Re: The Official Gundam The Origin Anime Thread Mk I

Really enjoyed the first episode, really cool stuff. Just wondering if the lightheadedness was seen throughout the manga as well? I know some enjoy that sort of relief from such a serious story but personally I cringe.

Re: Official Gundam Next-Gen Games and Upcoming Releases III

I'll repeat myself once more, the gundam games are gonna be about the same thing; mobile suits flying around blowin eachother up, it's just a video game what do you propose they do after you shoot someone down? lend them a hand, That is what I mean, they fall to the ground but are not dead so you h...

Hmm... I think you're missing what I am saying. (Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7EzqubYcfs) Shoots a Dom, it falls, must wait until it stands before you shoot it again, it gets up, repeat. I don't remember a pilot saying "oh! Well I seemed to have knocked that suit to the gro...

Re: Official Gundam Next-Gen Games and Upcoming Releases III

Isn't that what the mobile suits do in the actual show? EVERY game based on gundam is the same thing; mobile suits flying around blowing eachother up. You have some unmeetable expectations for game that's based around destruction. The vs. series got it perfect, it was able to capture every suit's i...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk II

Is Gundam unicorn considered Cannon? Cuz It would be interesting if they decided to end the Universal Century at 100 years though it would be sad if they discarded F91 and V. In my book, if it is animated, it is cannon. What sucks about Unicorn is that it falls before F91 and V and therefore cannot...

Re: Official Gundam Next-Gen Games and Upcoming Releases III

Personally, I'm the exact opposite - I hate the slow, plodding, "realistic" games I agree there, slow pace is boring. What I meant was I hate how the games always go by the same formula, shoot/melee, knock them down, dodge rising attack, repeat until victory. I find that very boring and r...

Re: Official Gundam Next-Gen Games and Upcoming Releases III

Realistic is kind of hard to achieve considering the scale of the crossover now. Not really into the whole cross over thing as much as I am following timelines or what if timelines. I guess that is why Climax UC was my favorite, it followed almost the whole UC timeline. Cross overs would be cool if...

Re: Official Gundam Next-Gen Games and Upcoming Releases III

I would like the vs series a lot more if it were more simulation and less arcade battle (defeats the purpose, I know). I liked Gundam vs. Zeta, but beyond that I never played much of the series. I guess I'd rather play Climax UC, which plays similar. Any word of upcoming next gen titles that are not...

Re: The Amuro's speech in CCA...

CCA seemed more so like a high stakes chess match between old rivals rather than Char actually trying to kill billions of Earthlings out of spite. Yes I do think he would've liked to give the Earth "a nice long rest" as he explained to Quess, but I think the uncertainty of his own extreme ...

IMO Char is a full blown sociopath. He'll lie, cheat, steal and kill to have things his way.

nice, any news on who full frontal is? Actually, Full Frontal was revealed as a clone of Char Aznable who was given Char's personality/memories by the Psychoframe (somehow) If so, then you might as well consider him Char. He is genetically identical to him and has all of his memories, in my book th...

Re: Parallels between U.C. and A.D.

A bit off topic: I was under the impression that most, if not all of the alternet timelines were made to re-tell the UC story line in some way. Of course there is one exception, G Gundam, but every other timeline has some sort of element that is either completely copied from the UC or a slightly alt...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk I

What about Harro then, true he wasnt a major character like char and amuro but he is still one of tominos original characters, he isnt off limit in anyway! so i I dont think Tomino has any say anymore, its more sunrise! IMO, Haro is almost synonymous with Gundam itself. There are hardly any Gundam ...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk I

Plus, UC has gotten plenty of installments without Tomino's input already anyway. True, but none of them had Char, or potentially Char in this case, as one of the main characters. Its kind of like Char and Amuro are somewhat property of Tomino, since nobody else touches those characters in an anima...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk I

I guess the real question is if Tomino actually endorses this author's writings, otherwise I personally wouldn't consider it canon to begin with, but that's just me. Obviously Bandai/Sunrise/ whoever else greenlit the project sees it as quality material, but to me its like George Lucas not being beh...
