Re: CE pop and military numbers.

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 tha...

Re: CE pop and military numbers.

Wait so can we blame AI for Patrick Zhala and Durandal getting power?

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I

I'm kind of surprised by the lack of new suits in the trailers. All MS shown have been existing designs, and mostly the first war.

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I kinda wish WFM had gone for a more typical gundam conflict for 'the rest of the world' since it didn't seem terribly interested in exploring it anyway. i suppose then it'd be too similar to that one manga though. As is, Ad Stella has a really unique setting for the franchise which feels grossly un...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Granted, G-Witch teases the existence of such a relationship in its promotional material and OP/ED but no such thing is actually present until the epilogue when the protagonists are suddenly married for no adequately explored reason. Miorine and Suletta's relationship is pretty toxic throughout the...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

The fights are well animated and the mecha designs are good. There's some fun side characters

The setting WAS cool, but I feel like turning permet into magic and trying to wrap up everything in the final episode kind of kills the setting.

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I mean, I've had my issues with this show but generally enjoyed it right up until the last 2 episodes, where honestly, i think every gundam show I've seen did its conclusion better. Like, Reconguista did it better somehow, despite me having no idea what was going on. It seemed at least the show did....

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Dude, she went through a lot of character development over the past 2 cours. From the socially awkward newbie who gets into fights, to revealing she is a tool for her mother, to losing everything, to gaining a sense of self-worth and direction. My post was primarilly about Eri, the character who's ...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Eri needed to be like an actual character sooner. She's even less developed than Suletta or Miorine, which probably helps contribute their duel to feeling rather bland. Its weird how Rau going off the deepend while Kira shouts "you're wrong!" was somehow more emotional than the battle of t...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

The prologue showed a lot of merit for a new direction for modern gundam. G-Witch's world is a refreshing take with its transhumanism and space-based corporate dominance.

But I don't feel like it has any idea what to do with it.

So this is the climax of the story and the last episode will be closing act... ...probably crash the Peil/Space League party. Consider how little Calibarn and Schwarzette get to show off their abilities, I guess the last episode will pit them against Pharact. Despite how it look like, I doubt Eri i...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I do agree with Kaiba about Norea. Her situation was tragic , however she caused too much uncaring collateral damage to sympathize with, maybe if Elan 5 had reasoned with her earlier things would have been different. As for Elan himself, his situation is somewhat open now. His rampage wasn't near a...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I could see Shaddiq swooping in but not because of any supportive reasons. He's not omnipotent and probably would want to see if Suleta has anything he can use against Miorine/Prospera. Heck now that suletta knows her 'safe' gundam is powered by babies, Shaddiq could use it to discredit GUND-ARM. H...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I noticed that the orbital elevator was referred to as an 'orbital Permet lift.' Perhaps this foreshadows its vulnerability to a takeover by Quiet Zero, not to mention the enormous significance of having control over the cheapest, safest method of exiting Earth's gravity well. Given that an MS with...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

There has not been a huge time skip, and it would be very odd for one of the three most profitable enterprises in the Benerit Group to be going bankrupt in only two weeks or so since its CEO's death. Might be an amateur's interpretation of stock plummeting due to their CEO dieing and the next CEO a...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Aerial seemed sensible enough in the Cradle Star story, and not the cold-eyed executioner we saw. As for Norea, she did seem resigned & considered it an inevitability (the tit-for-tat with Elan was very telling). I'm not certain that it was Aerial forcefully dialing up the Permet score that ult...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I enjoyed the first ep, though the ED has me really curious whats ahead. I am sad to see we're still in school though parts of the intro and the terrorist girls have me wondering when something horrible is going to happen. It seems the trailer almost exclusively focused on this ep. One thing that an...

Re: New Gundam Seed project; sequel movie, manga and more

I'm still not really sure what the movie for SEED is even going to be about. Presumably it'd be their CCA analogue, but every villain in SEED's been killed off. Athrun and sorta Mu are the only Char's left but Athrun is pretty much Char removed of all villainous properties and Mu was only a villain ...

Re: Anti Newtype weapons, systems and MS

Honestly I'd argue only the NT-D is the only true anti-newtype system. The other 3 just enhance the pilot/suit in various ways which really makes them just generally better at normal operation. While the NT-D actually let you hijack newtype weapons.
