Re: Synduality Noir

So I've heard this is supposed to be a two Cour show. Is it going to be all together or are they going to skip a season and come back in Winter?

Re: Synduality Noir

Well the most recent episode really upped the ante. We see a massive swarm of monsters rampaging across cities and settlements. Granted this is in the backstory , but it is still the biggest battle so far. Plus with massive casualties and the severe injury of Tokio, the stakes have been raised. I wa...

Re: Code Geass Bits and Bobs

Given the myriad of references mech shows have, that could well be the case. The Tequila Gunner from Dougram looks like an Orange AT-AT for example, then there are the Beam Sabers....

Re: Code Geass Bits and Bobs

It is interesting to see an insect theme in the army of Zilkhistan, as the Batalalan Du, has a Scorpion theme to its design.

Speaking of Sunrise references, did anyone else notice the J Jarja Vakka, had a similar name to the R-Jarja from ZZ?

Re: Synduality Noir

Totally they really drag out the whole Oblivious to Love Main Character cliché. That being said I do find the episodes to be a bit hit or miss. Some of the more goofy episodes are a bit slower (though I find the comedy most often works, plus the cast is overall quite likable), however these can be b...

Re: Axis, Moussa, and Neo Zeon in the aftermath of the First Neo Zeon War

For Moussa, it seems to be heavily implied that the collision of Core 3 and Axis/Moussa leads to a colossal loss of Civilian life (probably in the millions, with Core 3 being utterly destroyed, Moussa Imploding (As seen when Hamans Palace is destroyed in the collision) and Axis itself being rendere...

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I

Totally , while the designs of the Zaku/Gouf are (deliberately) derivative, they are also very well designed and are a neat update. I do wonder if we'll see something of a new version of these units? We have only seen some scenes from the trailer, so maybe their saving some stuff to announce later? ...

Re: For the Barrel

That actually sounds a bit like what we would see in the 2000s AU'S (Like SEED,00 and IBO), with the Government made up of different factions and territories (though to be fair that was also sort of a thing in Macross and to a degree Gundam X). Plus the overall story seems to have a lot of obscure G...

Re: The Official Macross Delta Anime Thread Mk I

So what exactly is the quality on the old Southern Cross toys? They actually did and make and sell Hover Tank and Auroran Toys (largely because they didn't make any toys to sell internationally). The toys resemble more large Transformer sets than Plamodels. I have no idea how well they sold, who exa...

So has anyone seen this? If so what do you think of it? The Animation looks well done, and the character designs are notably different, plus the plot seems rather interesting. So is it worth checking out?

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I

It will be interesting to see how Shinn handles working alongside Mu after all that's happened, it seems odd the movies would just ignore it. There is the whole factor that Mu was amnesiac whilst in his Neo persona. However look no further than Captain America Civil War to see how forgiving somebody...

So who has watched this? What are your thoughts on it? Personally I thought the premise and robot characters were quite interesting, and the animation and battle sequences were very well done. However the series kind of dropped the ball when it came to the main human characters. There were sort of b...

Re: Synduality Noir

So now that a few episodes have aired we can get more of a feel to the shows themes. The show is on a more lighthearted mood (at least for the time being) There are battles against the monsters, which every human survives, likewise last episode had a Gladiatorial Mech fight that resulted in no casua...

Re: Best and Worst Non-Mecha themed Anime/Manga You've Watched/Read?

Area 88. A well crafted story that examines the effects that combat has on peoples psyches, from the unfortunate cycle the main characters find themselves in. The story is dark, tragic and still very well written and engaging, and you can really develop a feel for most of the characters despite it’s...

Well the first Episode of UltraSteel Ogre-Gear is airing on the Youtube Bandai Spirits Channel. For only being 10 minutes long it manages to fit quite a lot of story and characters into the runtime, plus the animation and mech designs are cool. Its nice to see the world of the series developed more,...

How long did they spend in the Academy? It only ...

Totally, especially given how CE so often gives new suits to every major character (seriously there are 11 Gundams in Gundam SEED and 10 in Destiny, 4 in Stargazer, and since the Astray has an animated short, that's 28 official Gundams in this verse). That being said we have yet to see any of the ma...
