I just find it ironic that Al is piloting a mech based off the one who turned Bernie into a hamburger. :?

Something caught my eye... I could understand why Gundam animes don't delve too much to religion in order to avoid violent reactions from a diverse audience but back to the main topic... To start with, only 0.8 percent of Japanese are Christian. Most Japanese people practice either Buddhism, Shintoi...

Not an expert here on Max or Macross in general, but I should say that by CCA, Amuro didn't rely so heavily or Newtype abilities to fight. He had matured into a true soldier with years of experience and had moved beyond the need for Newtype abilities, at least in battle. We all know how CCA ends, so...

The reason she was exiled though was because she used the guillotine without proper authorization. Perhaps Tassilo was pissed he wasn't the one to do it? Or maybe the higher-ups wanted more information out of Hakushaku before making an example out of him.

I was trying to do that five posts ago.:) And you didn't press any buttons, I'm not angry in the slightest, and tried not to sound like that. By the way, my first line was answering your question, I just don't like long quote (wars). Back to the mystery grunt, it could be, although I don't remember ...

A....melee-focused suit? Epyon's arsenal is a heat whip and an oversized beam saber. Exia's revolves around many numerous smaller ones. It has only one sword even close to Epyon's or the proportions of Cloud's. If anything it's closer to Infinite Justice in its abundance or swords. Also, Cloud? Now ...

Epyon-wannabe......just, lol. I'll say I disagree again and leave it at that.
I'm still wondering to whom those boxy mecha from the newest promo belong to. And why they're so different from the other three we've actually been given stats to.

I dunno, considering the Exia is supposed to be a speed demon I don't think the light armor is a bad thing. It isn't Enact or Flag bad though, so whatever.

I disagree, the only thing I find wrong with the Exia is the "pelvic guard" or whatever the hell you call it and the way the sides go out. Other than that it looks fine to me.

If I had to guess, I'd say Dynames is long range, Virtue mid mid-range, Exia is close range, and Krios is all range. Dynames is the sniper of the group, and despite its inclusion of a few melee weapons that is the position it is strongest at. Virtue, on the other hand, most likely has powerful weapo...

Even so, the battles can still be entertaining if they show some sort of strategy in the Gundams' warfare. Now that we've seen the grunts, we can surmise as to how the battles will go and how the Gundams could be called army killers. Depending on what tactics they use, such a title may not be unreal...

I personally really like these designs. I think, as is the case with the OG universe, it shows the thought process of the three factions; while the Union and the AEU developed mobile suits based on planes, the HPL or whatever worked from tanks as a base. Even though the two aircraft models may seem ...

There are novels for Victory, but I know little to nothing about them. Turn A I have no idea. As for Shakti's song, it's called "Hinageshi no Tabi no Mukou ni". :?

Except it isn't always that easy. What about those people that are born blind? Should they be told, "Hm, well, we do have the technology/techniques to give you sight, but we don't believe in that and think you should have a "pure" body. Tough luck kid"? Or what about someone who ...

Yep, that insane bout of laughter at the end of 23 was completely normal. :P Seriously though, Lelouche may be more sane that Light, I wouldn't go so far as to say he's NOWHERE close to being a psychopath. On topic, I would also suggest Code Geass. It has shiny character and mecha designs, but it ha...

Katejina was really wishy washy but the reason she originally joined Zanscare was probably because she had a thing for Chronicle. We also see her spouting Maria propaganda throughout the series, so at least towards the start of her piloting career she might have believed in those ideals. As the stor...

The only random kid to ever jump into a Gundam from UC was Usso Ebbing. Just to say one thing, even he was not just "some random kid". Remember that in his "digital library" or whatever the heck that was, there was a piloting simulator that I do not doubt he practiced on. Add to...

I would like to reply to the SEED comments, but this isn't supposed to be about SEED, so I won't. :? I still contend that "Other Gundam series did it too so it doesn't matter that Wing did it" is a weak argument. For starters, we all know about those questionable points in UC. the Newtype ...

No offence my man, but it seems like the backbone of your support is that although Wing has flaws, other Gundams have those flaws too, so it's alright for Wing to have them. In my opinion that's kind of a flimsy argument, because you're excusing the faults of something based solely on the faults of ...
