While it is not clear, it shows a lot of hints that it is the UC timeline. You have the Zaku Axe, Zaku, island 3 colonies that are only really specifically used in UC with actual specs, Bits that look awfully like MAN-08 Emeth's bits. Considering how frequently Gundam AUs reuse designs with minor t...

Do understand G-Witch also has competition level MS battle in the beginning for school duel. That would be why I drew the comparison, yes. It sounds like it's just that same clunky idea but with the win condition from G Gundam : destroying the opposing MS's head. I was never fond of the idea in G-W...

... with a title like that, I honestly thought I was going to get rickrolled. After watching it, I'm almost left wondering if the rickroll might've been preferable. Studio Khara is meh-inducing at the best of times, but the design aesthetic does not thrill and the premise sounds like they're just do...

One of the things I've always liked about Gundam was how it portrayed "both sides" as morally gray rather than "hero" vs "villain". Just because the protagonist is on the side of Zeon, I never felt like we should see them as the "hero" or that they should rec...

I've checked the anime/mecha magazines and mooks I have from around the times that the three games and TV anime were released and... well... nothing. It seems like the game had very little in the way of print media coverage as almost all the citations on the game's Wikipedia (JP) page are from the g...

If it's not supervised or overseen by the parent company, then yeah, it's more or less fanfiction. I'm not sure if you ever looked at the publisher's website for the series, but the Gundam Master Archive Mobile Suit books WERE written under the supervision of Sunrise/Bandai Namco Filmworks. All of ...

As for the characters , They really only work as likeable the less you know about Zeons actions during the OYW , so this does actually work more toward first time viewers. Do you see the paradox there? The protagonists can only really be likeable if you don't know anything about the Universal Centu...

Having finished my rewatch of Mobile Suit Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance , I have to say that I stand by my original assessment that it's just a glorified (and suitably impressive) demo reel for Unreal 5's animation technology with very little substance to it. The new animation technology's teething ...

Does it, though? I mean, there's a reason why it's billed as "fanfiction" in so many circles. Sure, it all sounds nice, but a lot of it is insanely ludicrous. From what I have read and reviewed, the vast majority of the technical material is reasonably sound, accurate, and logical and mai...

A strong word of warning when attempting to cite the Master Archive booklets for anything of "value" when throwing around numbers: I am aware, though in this case it functions as an adequate distillation of official information with a bit of extra that does not contradict anything in the ...

I understand that you're trying to minimize the issues I've mentioned here, but it doesn't change the fact that moderator abuse is a real problem that shouldn't be swept under the rug. It's not about me "deserving it" or my perception about it. it's about the way moderation should be fair...

Definitly, Even some offical anime magazines had some rather bizzare content. There were some 80s manga magazines that had The White Base crew having a New Years Eve gathering where Bright gets comically drunk on Sake, theres another panel where Chrico from Votoms and several other mech pilots danc...

I've often struggled to understand why some anime fans and enthusiasts come across as incoherent or immature in their behavior. Many seem more interested in playing social games and shitposting than genuinely engaging with the medium they claim to enjoy. They might watch an episode or two of a popu...

At least Akito the EXiled tried to expand the worldbuilding, by focusing largely on a contient (Europe) and Government (Europia United) that haden't been previous explored as much. It does... though it would probably have been more effective in that regard if not for two things: Setting the story o...

Heya, I've been trying to figure out the name of a background song that plays during certain scenes of the show. It starts playing around minute 13 of the Phase 11 episode. If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate the help! Since I have the soundtracks in a playlist, I did a bit of quick brute force g...

Im not sure why the fandom doesn't take the source material seriously. Neo Britannia or some other balkanized faction of the Former Holy Britannian Empire would make a legitimately interesting setting or premise just staying the hell away from Japan. Probably because the creators themselves aren't ...

I think its fine to reuse fictional settings since the majority of characters in fiction are not omnipotent. Its just that eastern cultures, especially around anime IP's, entirely don't give a shit about adhering to source material in general when it comes to other stories in the same setting. Stan...

Personally, I would label the crew of guys firing a giant gun into an active battlefield as combatants. At that point it's just like any other artillery platform, even if this particular one's presence didn't achieve much. To briefly revisit a previous point, it wasn't until the very end of the ser...

If it were the case then we'd have other lore that states it was developed by them. Entertainment Bible 39 says that G3 was a Zeon design. It does, and the same statement is repeated in the collected edition, but it's worth noting that this may actually be an error in the book. It mentions the use ...

Sigh, it is reasonable to assume the Titans developed it because the EF has little reason to. They are the ones who wanted to use it, and as we can see from OYW GG gas is already pretty powerful as it is and EF in total control really has little initiative to do the development. While it is a reaso...
