good episode

-Amazing Zaku and it's pilot are in deed amazing
-Tobe Gunpla!
-Mr. Ral can appear anywhere and anywhen to commentate on your gunpla battles.

Spoiler

-Reiji's definitely not human....

I would love to see Sunrise acknowledge some of the more flawed kits out there in the show. A Rozen Zulu or Arche showing up in the base plastic colors, or some old transformable kit falling to pieces. I doubt it would happen but here's hoping there's at lest some lazy modeler type in the show. (as ...

no It starts on the 7th, a Monday. As for official streams, I wouldn't be surprised to see something on Daisuki.

I doubt I'll have anything more to say. Unless I watch it (which is incredibly unlikely) you probably won't hear from me in this thread again. However as a self-professed fan of the series this is oh so loosely based on, I felt a need to say something. It was also quite cathartic to express my feste...

I think you misunderstand somewhat, this would irritate me regardless of whether or not it prevented another show being made. Its existence alone is enough to inspire my ire. That it's the only anime being done with the properties in question (given last year was the 40th anniversary) is a painful d...

Oh do forgive me if moefication isn't exactly what I wanted to represent some of the most badass and manly classic Super Robots.

What I wouldn't give to finally end this trend of anthropomorphizing things.

*Stamps through the thread grumbling about moe anthropomorphism and the lack of actual shows for these properties, ending on a Rage filled "No Great-Hen!"*

@Amion: Doubtless this is also part Kaiju movie; beyond the giant robots it's also a chronicle of giant monster invasion. If someone in your life has a soft spot for cheesy creature features that seems an obvious way to pique their interest in Pacific Rim.

The genre is wonderful though to be fair we're comparing something with ~10 and a half hours run time to a film with 2 and a half. While I'd agree that more fleshed out characters would be needed to sustain a series spectical works well enough in the context of a movie. Very few mecha anime movies t...

More worrying will be when that masked Wierdo Char moves in across the street and they have to keep the kids indoors because of the rumors or when that fop M'Quve keeps everyone awake flicking his antiques. Really the only way this would work for me is if they go totally ridiculous and over the top ...

mobile suits in general are somewhat top heavy (presuming their long legs haven't been weighted in some way), even discounting the potential of rattling the pilot itself, a significant impact near the top of the machine should at least stagger it. Depending on how advanced the automated posture cont...

Sometimes the fandom can be both wonderful and worrisome. Such speed and erm.. single-mindedneas is 100% normal.

national stereotyping in Gundam poppycock

It would amuse me immensely if the British team goes around saying gundamn all the time.

I'm honestly hoping they take the concept and run with it. Why stop halfway when you have moving, fighting plastic model kits? Besides it would be moderately cathartic to see a world that revolves around Gunpla.

On a serious note though I just hope this series stays fun...cuz this talk of the particles is getting me worried they really WILL go the route of evil organization using the technology to materialize 1:1 scale death machines and its only up to the pure children who have dedicated their lives to mo...

I meant something along the lines of an actual in story reason rather than simply because the creators wanted it that way.

gotta give the technical staff something to do I suppose. Maybe the importance of this rather odd set-up will become apparent later on.

The Strike's popularity among writers likely stems from it's real world popularity and the narrative flexibility afforded by it's striker pack system.. I can't blame them either among reimaginings of the RX-78-2 it's probably the best. Sleek and modern in appearance but still evoking the machine its...

I am flabbergasted that no one -here- has shown any serious dislike for Sunrise making another kids show as yet. It's almost miraculous enough to restore my faith in the Gundam fanbase (till I see what's being said elsewhere) So with some time and a bit of thought I have to say this looks like fun. ...
