Re: The Gundam SEED Destiny HD Remaster Thread

I think the one thing that still impresses me about Destiny is how much it made me sympathize for Rau.

I'd want to end that world too.

Re: The Gundam SEED Destiny HD Remaster Thread

Fukuda created a financially successful monster which proves that people will always suck up soap opera drama and vague, empty words. Don't expect him to make Destiny better. Best thing to do is to ignore anything after Episode 36 or so of SEED... well I'm horribly biased and I can't think of a sing...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk V

Unicorn isn't meant to be fun, it's meant to be self-congratulatory, and a whitewash of a genocidal bunch of supremacists

Kinda similar to a white power Nazi movement. Except these guys have giant robots so they're cool with the kids.

Re: New 08th MS Team Short Film

Look dude, I'd agree with your point more if it wasn't invalidated in the first episode of 08th with Shiroh taking the Ball-K and literally having it showered with fire for sustained seconds with not even a chip in the glass. I have the screenshots to prove it. Choreography is great (if it looks goo...

Re: New 08th MS Team Short Film

I think I fell in love with 08th MS Team for a brief period for the same reason many did -- we were supposed to as Gundam fans in America. It and Zeta were hailed as these amazing series that have done little to earn their reputation. Okay, aside from blatantly, repeatedly disregarding the realism i...

Re: Gundam cliches you could do without?

1) Beam sabers are effectively taking a tube of the sun and slapping you with it. 2) Lack of genuine is a compelling reason to care about a villain as a three dimensional character, and to make a point there's little to be said of Gihren Zabi's "good intention". Ironically the Frost Brothe...

Unless balofo requested someone to mediate between us I'm not sure why you're taking a stance that we need to "back off" anything. Also: http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/thrawnma/Gundam/Screen%20Caps/snapshot20050827174727.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b76/thrawnma/Gundam/Scre...

Re: Tallgeese III Mega Cannon firing mode mistery finally so

You seem to think mocking me is going to move the focus away from the fact that the so-called "mystery" (with a "y" by the way) concerning the Tallgeese III's Megacannon hasn't really been a mystery for a very long time. People have either pretty much accepted it has multiple mod...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

Ignoring drivel is usually my response. Watching others enable it occasionally gets to me, especially when it's as something as farfetched, but taking itself achingly seriously, as Unicorn.

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

I don't enjoy the show. It's a needless entry to ramp up model sales written by someone with a post-WWII Imperial Japan agenda (it's true). The problem is they pass off a poor excuse to appease the average person but someone who actually does fill in the blanks realizes it's house of cards. It toppl...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk II

I think there's a lot of recent information showing that the jump from late game OYW to Zeta isn't as extreme as it's long thought to have been. And going back to the WWII stuff, comparing early WWII hardware to the late game Panthers and Tigers (or P51Ds and ME-262s) and you seen a lot of stuff hap...

I also defy anyone to tell me Gato was a morally gray dude. Given he committed two major terrorist attacks during a time of peace. Isn't it grey in the sense that from Gato's POV what he was doing was good, and Kou obviously didn't agree, but who's to say who is actually right? That takes the subje...
