So while watching Arknights with its Mobile City concept (that the wiki theorized was similar to Mortal Engines), I just wondered , how common are Mobile Cities in Sci Fi anyway, the Only other example I can think of is Chrome Shelled Regios (and that concept is more like a City Ship from Macross th...

Agreed with the whole Barzam thing. The Marasai proved more than capable as a Mass Produced MS (even if it's color scheme made it more obvious it was an AEUG unit following in the Rick Dias's second color scheme). Meanwhile the Barzam ultimtely never made it very far due to simply being far too ordi...

The lips are a bit odd as it makes it look like the female characters are always wearing lipstick (which given how many of them are soldiers seems unlikely). This has been brought up before, but I do wonder if there will be more use of Cloning in the movie as there are several new characters that re...

So with Layzner finally getting a BD release abroad, I just wonder how much backstory was made for the series? Is it ever really explained how big the Grados Empire really is (it seems like they control the whole planet) . More than that is there any backstory given on the history of the Super Power...

It would be nice if it were that long, but somehow I think we're more likely to get a shorter ONA length (just so long as it's not as short as Twilight Axis).

It probably helps a lot that the Axis itself is much larger than an actual Space Colony. From what we see in ZZ and CCA their port is more than large enough to build multiple ships (ship building itself is rather vaguely defined in Gundam , a lot of Federation ships seem to be built on earth or the ...

Definitely, particularly because an Anime adaptation might go for international streaming, which could gain a bigger audience, especially because I don't know if the app was released internationally.

So apparently Urdr Hunt will be getting an as yet unspecified Anime project. This came out on Gundam News a few days ago (and no , I'm not the same person who wrote the article).

So what does everyone think? Urdr Hunt seems like it would make a decent ONA, so hopefully it streams internationally.,

To be fair Gundam usually tries to go a bit more into explaining the background of the fleet mechanics (Axis does have a bunch of former service personnel including designers mechanics and soldiers who fled after the OYW, plus they are actively shown recruiting people from various neutral colonies a...

Agreed Fukuda does reuse ideas and designs a lot ( which is saying something in Gundam which often recycles plot threads and designs across series), TBF the Villkiss is kind of a cool design, so seeing more of it isn't necessarily a bad thing IMO( Cross Ange had issues, but the mech design was cool)

I do like the designs of the trio mecha, but I agree they don't really change much with the new units except for the color scheme, compare to FG to CCA , where their is a clear difference between the numerous units Amuro and Char use.

The Gyan and Gelgoog both look more angular than other CE mechs( and a bit more like the G-Reco or Buddy Complex designs). I agree the Gyan's head design looks kind of odd, but that probably comes from using a 1979 design on a 2024 mech. (Granted the same could be said of other designs, but the Gyan...

I have mixed feelings on the designs, I really like the Gouf Menace and Gyan Storm, as well as the upgrade Freedom and Justice, but I find the Knight Mechs to be rather underwhelming , not helped by only being differentiated by some minor color scheme differences.

So is there any Line art out there for the ships from Buddy Complex? There are several pieces of line art available for the mechs from both sides, but there doesn't seem to be anything for the Ships (Both Sky/Space, and Aquatic).

According to Anime News Network, the show will have a split cour and will comeback in January.

Totally, It's also a bit odd because Hirai didn't actually do the designs for Buddy Complex. They were done by Asako Inayoshi and Tomoshige Inayoshi who I wish would do more Sunrise shows because their designs are really nice.

So has anyone read this yet? If so how is it? Does it retell the season of the series in Manga form, or does it add new characters or storylines?

So has anyone seen this movie yet? If so what do you think of it? I thought it was a neat movie that had interesting if somewhat complex story. Plus the mechanical designs were really cool looking (with some almost looking like something out of Ghost in the Shell.

What does everyone else think?

That's great to hear , the plot is getting quite interesting now, so its nice to see them continue with it.

Spoiler

I totally didn't see Noir as a safe mode thing coming.

It makes sense the PLANT's population numbers wouldn't add up that easily. as it would be quite difficult to have the exact same population in every single colony city at the same time. Plus locations like farming colonies would need more space to use as farmland. As for the A.I its interesting that...
