Y'know, for how popular Evangelion is I'm surprised we never got a new series. We just keep getting retellings of the series One thing I think kind of gets forgotten a lot with Eva is that all those retellings and stuff are just manga and the occasional video game. We've never actually gotten an an...

Zeta had Emma and Hamaan (who, despite being a villain, is still a strong character), and Victory had Mavette and the Shrike Team.[/quote] That's true but some of those Shrike Team girls had their own problems (like that one lady who practically had a death wish). My point was though, that having a...

No other Gundam show has pulled something like this. Um, it happened in Tomino's Gundam shows quite a bit (and we know the reasons for that). Of course, not every female pilot was nuts, but a lot of them were, particularly in Zeta Gundam and Victory. Also, Mizushima has said in the past (I think th...

Wasn't part of the problem a lack of a followup to Wing? I mean, people always remember their first and none of the series around at that time were like quite like Wing. Even G and X don't have the same feel. That's not espically true, since X is the closest thing you can get to a sucessor to Wing ...

I think a live action Cowboy Bebop movie will be one of those projects that ends up in "development hell", like the Halo movie. Wouldn't surprise me one bit, I mean, the last bebop project I remember was the PS2 game that got a good deal of hype....and then disappeared. Of course, a video...

I have to agree with Chris on this, Gundam's time in the limelight here in the states is long gone, although it's gotten quite a following on the internet over the years that seems to grow with each new show, although, most of that is just fans of that show as opposed to becoming fans of the entire ...

As long as I can feel that Mari's necessary, I'll be good True, and I'm sure it will be good, but like, considering how both Code Geass and even, unfortunatly, 00 have had the same problem of adding characters who end up not really providing much to the story other then padding the numbers (differe...

Anyone have any idea about how long this one is gonna run for? I guess one of the things I'm worried about is the fact that, while I'm quite pleased and interested at the addition of a new Eva pilot (Mari), I'm worried that she'll either die or not get much screentime by the end of this tetrologies,...

Yo guys, love the show, I look foward to each episode. Just wanna say, think you guys could ever have a segment dedicated to some series that maybe don't always get a lot of attention, like say Blue Comet SPT Layzer, and maybe give your thoughts on each? The 80s was a facinating time for mecha anime...

Wouldn't be fair thought to classify the Zeta era of MS an experimental phase, considering around then people were still messing aroung with mobile suits and newtypes were still a fairly unexplored concept? Though, the only things I think that have lived on from then are the "wave rider mode&qu...

You know, I know this may be a little out there, but maybe by surprise they mean a Tomino directed series? I mean, it COULD be a UC series, but even then, Tomino has a fan base and I think they mentioned that this is something "the fans have always wanted" so...

Chris wrote: I also don't get at all what your point is about Unicorn.

Sorry for not being clear. I basically said that because the way I see it, if they wanted to animate it, they would have in the first place as opposed to making it a 12 volume novel series.

The thing you have to understand is that the way anime adaptations of manga used to be done is no longer the case. Before, it was average to wait at least two or three years before starting the anime, as was the case with One Piece and Naruto. However, Japanese companies want to seize on any new ma...

Am I the only one who doens't really see much of a point to this? I mean, They originally made the decison to adapt the manga when only 3 or 4 volumes were out, and make the rest original material (Which I felt was superior to the source in terms of depth but that is another topic for another time),...

Yeah, but I still don't see why they can't still have a new series in UC time line. By that I mean Victory is in the UC era and it has no connection with the One Year War, it's soully on it's own besides "Newtypes" thang. And it's also one of the least popular entries in the timeline. I m...

If I remember correctly, on an interview with I think the president of Bandai (should still be on Gunota in like early 07) said that they want Gundam to have other contiualities besides UC. I don't mean like a one shot AU, but something that willl continue to develop and grow overtime, and those he ...

With all that said, is Unicorn animated? No, it's a novel. Therefore, it's not official (unless the powers that be decide to adapt it). That doesn't make a whole lot of sense though. I mean, given the push Bandai is making for Unicorn to be a gift for the UC fans, and considering where it takes pla...

First time I've heard of this. Source?

I don't think being animated is really the only critieria. After all, Sentinal and Hathaway's Flash appear in like the G Generation games all the time but stuff like Gaia Gear doesn't, so I think that should be a tipoff.

Technically, wasn't this sorta experimented with with SEED Stargazer? And that was prety well received, even by those who are pretty sick of Cosmic Era Gundam (still had some of the typical problems though) and showed a lot of potential. I agree with Brave Fencer Kirby though that the gundam foruma ...
