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

Discovered this after seeing this week's episode: On Elan being called Enhanced Human Number 4 by the Peil CEOs, the term that got translated as "Enhanced Human" from Japanese is "Kyouka Jinshi" (強化人生). In Universal Century, the term in Japanese which is supposed to be "Enha...

Re: Time Needed to Finish a Space Colony

2045 AD is the date given for the start of construction on the first space colony in Side 1 Bunch 1, and the Universal Century was inaugurated in part to celebrate its completion.
And I'm to assume that colony in question isn't Laplace from Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn?

Time Needed to Finish a Space Colony

How long does it take to even build a space colony anyway? Take Universal Century Gundam. If it's still used by subsequent sources, the Setting Notes for Mobile Suit Gundam had each Lagrangian Point/Side containing 35-40 colonies, most of which are O'Neill Cylinders, prior to the One Year War. I mea...

Re: THE ONE YEAR WARS RE:0079

Re: Gravitational Sensors

Expanding on my question, would there be military applications for gravitational sensors? I can imagine they're needed for long-range reconnaissance which is what Dragonar-3 is for, especially when detecting incoming missiles.

Gravitational Sensors

Hi everyone. I'm back and I have this question: what exactly do gravitational sensors do? I caught that term from our profile on the XD-03 Dragonar-3 from Metal Armor Dragonar: Unit type: prototype reconnaissance metal armor Head height: 18.2 meters Weight: empty 44.5 metric tons; max gross 82.3 met...

What I'd like to know is whether Southern Cross is worth tracking down the original subbed version. Is it a good enough show on its own
Go for it. As was told, the show was cut but it was worth the ride when I finished it. Even the ending came off complete.

Mecha and Mufflers

For mecha with wheels for long-distance travel, are mufflers are a necessity? Refer to the Gundam Leopard from After War Gundam X and the Knightmare Frames of the Code Geass franchise having wheels for long-distance travel.

Re: RCX-76 Guncannon: Why did it suck so bad?

On the idea of the RCX-76 being a "Guntank with legs," based on the the fact the hands of all RCX-76s aren't exactly like ours, whereas Zeon's mobile suits and the Project V equipment do have human-esque hands, I'd say "Guntank with legs" was the idea the Anaheim bigwigs went wit...

Front Vents on Mobile Suits

What are they for anyways? For example, in Universal Century, they're seen on the chests of the Project V equipment? If they're for exhaust that is needed to come out as a result of running on a fusion reactor, then how come the Zaku I, Zaku II, Gouf, Gogg, Acguy, Zock, Dom, nor Zeong have them, whe...

Found this, and according to some people who most likely machine-translated it, Japanese censors have resumed reviewing the series as a whole in wake of the ending. Can anyone else here please verify?

If it's real then I gotta wonder how this is gonna play out since twilight axis only has like five chapters.
Maybe the novel's the prologue and the anime's the story proper.

Having read the backstory on Hashmal, it seems that the Calamity War started because somebody took pages from Romefeller from After Colony.

Depends. Anime News Network's pages on each movie note out that when they were re-released in 1999, certain members of the cast were replaced. Tessho Genda replaced Daisuke Gouri as Dozle Zabi. Romi Park and Sayaka Ohara were in it as minor roles.
