True but Gear Fighter Denoh, Cross Ange are good measures of his style. I don't want to say SEED is his greatest work but he's quite proud of it. But I think Grendizer U shows he can produce pretty entertaining series. He actually hinted he wanted to do more Cross Ange but Bandai was focusing on Gu...

No bashing Fukuda or Destiny please, but what was considered his best work in the eyes of Japan, [...] Eh... if we're being honest with each other, Fukuda's filmography only really has two noteworthy titles on it: Future GPX Cyber Formula and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED . If you don't count the remaste...

So is there any information on the development of the EA Fleet? Nope. As per usual, information about Gundam SEED 's minor and background designs is effectively limited to just what's strictly relevant to their role in the story proper and basic statements about the capabilities they demonstrate in...

So in various timelines (most notably UC and CE ) pre MS ship are Refitted to carry MS, so what exactly does a refit entail? Is it just rebuilding existing ships with hangars or do they also make new models of existing lines with these refits? The Gundam franchise's official publications generally ...

It's neat to hear more positivity regarding Crunchyroll, (they do at time have issues with stuff not always playing, but that's usually fixed fairly quickly). I 'm not a very technical person , so I'm unsure how exactly these services work on a technical level, I've just found Crunchyroll has a ver...

Well from technical standpoint Disney+ is more advanced, especially app while Chrunchyroll's app is ... well clumsy and has issue. Plus they seem to lack technical capacity to ensure stream is good quality worldwide. ... I think you might have the names backwards there. Disney+'s app is an embarras...

The fan community is VERY confused now... Most of us were thinking that Macross would land at Crunchyroll, given that it recently finished merging with original series licensee Funimation and that it purchased Macross TV series licensee Nozomi Entertainment in 2022. All but a few OVA licenses are ef...

This far in, my impression is that this could be charitably described as an 'animator's show,' primarily a vehicle to showcase the studio's talent & technical ability, like that sequence in the tunnel where Naomi doffs her environmental suit. It's been described as old-school Disney-esque in ho...

Metallic Rouge still isn't the worst studio original anniversary series I've ever seen... but it is rapidly closing that gap. It was clear after just one or two episodes that "half baked" would be an incredibly charitable description of the writing here, but it is impressive in a bad way ...

As I was thinking whether the VF-11 Booster count as a quadjet (probably not, because they added rocket boosters and not jet engines, right) or not, the same question applies to the Super Messiah, Super Lucifer, Durandal and Super Siegfried? Do they count as quadjets? Like, does the the drones carr...

So is there any difference on the technical level between the numerous Gundam Frames of the Post Disaster Era? Or is it the armor and weapons added that make the difference? The published materials strongly lean towards the idea that the frames are the same, and performance differences are due to t...

Turn A Gundam works out better in this case as the advanced tech fits into Clarks Third Law (Nanomachines can actually repair the units), so that may more easily Handel the volcanic heat ( Though Corin is still running around above the ava with no Ill effect). As for Layzner Layzner itself doesn't ...

I mean, we have people working near volcanoes and most of the time we see them in a fire resistant suit and they are fine. Some even got away with it without protective wearing. For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-42316039 That's very different to the circumstances being discussed though...

It really depends on the technology of the series. Which is to say, it really depends on how divorced the series is from anything resembling conventional physics or modern technology. Most of the time, writers forget that convection is a thing and that just hanging out near something like magma woul...

Episode seven of Metallic Rouge finally gets off its arse and does some proper exposition. Too little, much too late, and what detail we get really makes it feel like the story of Rouge Redstar and Naomi is far and away the least interesting thing going on in the setting. The reveal that Naomi is a ...

It depends on your definition of "official announcement." I mean something like a press release... the kind of thing that generally drives news posts on hobby sites. The majority who can't read/speak Japanese tend to depend on those to feed into news outlets in their native language. But,...

Guess you need to search better. They've mentioned it quite a few times in interviews and whatnot. Granted only one liners, but crucial updates included: It feels a bit unfair to say I need to search better and then in the same breath admit that there aren't any official announcements to find and t...

Episode 6 is no better... what a mess. For some reason, the writers felt compelled to remind the audience how pretentious they are by having an annoying minor character go on about his love for paper books while holding copies of The Brothers Karamazov , King Lear , and Alice in Wonderland . I'm sur...

So... getting caught up on Metallic Rouge after a spectacular failure to care about its release schedule. In a way, it's oddly impressive how consistently bad the writing in this series is. If you're going to do a flashback episode, the flashbacks should actually add something meaningful to the stor...

So you have various sources for After Colony mobile suits that seem to give wildly different ideas of what the Tallgeese is capable of, some say it can accelerate at over 15G or is it 20G. But then others still I believe merely say it can pull maneuvers that put 12G's of stress on the pilot(basical...
