Re: The Official Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance Anime Thread Mk I

Even in the origional show there was some grey, TBF that was actually followed on in quite a few Sunrise anime , granted it was more on the level of you could understand someones motivation even if you disagreed with their actions. You can say that they have some fair people, especially people like...

Re: The Official Gundam GQuuuuuuX Mecha Thread Mk I

The G-Quacks version has just made the design more complicated, not less, by having the sides of the head apparently be connected to the base of the rotary actuator used to turn the head left and right instead of "floating" on the actuator used to control elevation like the rest of the he...

Re: The Official Gundam GQuuuuuuX Mecha Thread Mk I

I made a discovery that blew my mind: So I noticed through all the highly detailed screenshots of the Red Gundam's head that the orientation on it seems to change between shots, as if the sides of its "helmet" don't align with the rest of its head. This is how the Red Gundam's head normal...

Re: The Official Gundam GQuuuuuuX Anime Thread Mk I

Supposedly, Anno only write the OYW part. So yeah, he technically made Shin Gundam. Which sadden me that he doesn't work on Shin Yaranaika. Apparently he suggested to Takanobu Terada(before he left his position as producer of the SRW series) if he can get Char to pilot Eva Unit 2, which made Terada...

Re: The Official Gundam GQuuuuuuX Anime Thread Mk I

Amuro didn't even develop the Haro, so I don't get why he'd open a toy company. The only thing he ever did was do a remod of the internals. The unit was made by SUN Co. He only made his fortune from re-licensing AFTER the war. Yes, and Seabook was sold the unit cheap because the store owner who got...

Re: The Official Gundam GQuuuuuuX Anime Thread Mk I

Now that there are updates to the setting and Lineart, is anyone else reminded of For the Barrel? It was an "Abstract Retelling" of the first Gundam series with several notable (and deliberate) differences, at the outset GQuuuuuuX seems like they are trying to do an Abstract Retelling as ...

Re: The Official Gundam GQuuuuuuX Anime Thread Mk I

A comparative video for about 1 minute was placed on Bilibili showing the scene's similarities of RX-78-2 and GQX's Gundam piloted by Char. (don't know if it violates copyright so I am not giving a link, anyone interested can just go to bilibili and search for GQuuuuuuX and there are at least 2 1:10...

Re: DVD region code?

iirc Older PC DVD drives does not have a fixed region when bought, and they will determine the region by the 2nd discs you watched.(you can watch any region on the 1st disc, the 2nd disc's region will determine the drive's region)

And most Chinese brand DVD players are region free.

Re: Gundam Side Material

For Gundam related examples, sometimes it does seem like watching the Anime on it's own (more so in the early days of the international fandom, where anime relases wheren't always in chronological order) wouldn't be enough to actually explain what is going on. Cima's backstory dosen't really make a...

I want to say that that's both a REALLY extreme example and a really bad example because Kingdom Hearts 's has a lot of inaccessible media in the form of mobile games and such that is critical to the backstory... but is also borderline unintelligible even if you have all the media because the writi...

Re: Gundam Side Material

If a show cannot be on its own it is poorly written. Side materials can provide you with clarifications and more details and canon or different point of view of things instead of pov from a single side like in shows(though shows CAN be made as an omniscience view instead of one sided) That is kinda ...

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

The eleven "Children of the Coven" are all repli-children (clones) of Ericht Samaya... so presumably they at least have similarly high resistance to the permet data storms of the Lfrith/Aerial that Suletta Mercury does. Whether they're out-and-out immune is an interesting question that th...

We actually do have commentary on that note from the season 2 Mechanics & World book. On page 41, the glossary entry for "repli-child" mentions that the 11 other children who appear to be clones of Ericht are also repli-children like Suletta and that they are referred to as the "...

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

Now, I haven't done translations of all of the publications out there for G-Witch, but I haven't found a proper explanation for this one in any of the ones I've done so far. The closest I can get is that there are remarks about how, in a one-in-a-billion lucky break, Ericht Samaya's "biocode&q...

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

Yeah, that's kind of handwaved... it was a cheap trick to try and add some tension to the show's conclusion. It does ultimately do some damage to Suletta and leaves her physically disabled, even though she's noted to have abnormally high resistance to permet data storms. This part I don't understan...

Well, I just keep hearing it from friends and they still complaint anything either not Tomino or not FG as very bad. So bullsh!t, basically.

Also, do you have a citation for where 0083 was supposedly "heavily criticized" back in the day? A lot of the fan letters praised the show (seeing as how they enjoyed Sentinel and whatnot). Well, I just keep hearing it from friends and they still complaint anything either not Tomino or no...

That's inaccurate. As noted above, the main reason that Bandai pushed Sunrise to develop a new and more kid-friendly Gundam series chasing current trends was because the franchise had started to struggle. Victory Gundam had been unsuccessful in cultivating a new generation of fans and merchandise l...

Re: Gundam Alternate Universe

Thanks its alway neat to see the background on the franchise, Really G Gundam was probably one of the biggests depatures to be a sequel (even Macross 7 fit in better). Gundam Wing was closer in its themes, but it's clear the MS History in AC can't be reconciled with UC, Even Gundam X with it's Isla...
