Re: Gargantia on The Verdurous Planet

2 episodes in and I'm REALLY liking what I see. I get a strong Turn A Gundam vibe from it (except without the LOLTomino characterization quirks), which is a good thing.

Re: Status of Certain Mobile Suits

Thank you to everyone who has replied so far. It is very much appreciated. Given the total lack of detail regarding the S Gundam's siblings, I guess that means pretty much anything goes on that front. Regarding the Zeta Gundams produced, since there appears to be no solid data on that front (I'm exc...

Status of Certain Mobile Suits

I'm doing a bit of research into U.C., and I had a few questions regarding the status of certain units. I was hoping there was some elaboration that I might've missed and/or don't have access to: 1). Exactly how many Zeta Gundams were canonically or at least semi-canonically constructed? There's obv...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread Mk 1

I was originally off put by AGE given that it appeared to be targeting a younger audience, but after seeing the first PV I'm kind of stoked. The plot looks alot more mature than I initially assumed, and the 'generational' aspect has me interested. Kind of unrelated, by the animation, sound effects, ...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk III

My favorite part of the episode (so far), besides the Unicorn jacking control of Marida's bits was Full Frontal's comment on the naming of the U.C. Project. <Full Frontal> The day Newtypes can be destroyed by a product of technology is the day they are consigned to history. Just as the Universal Cen...

Re: The Official Gundam 00 Anything Thread Mk VIII

WOW, Setsuna's piloting skills have skyrocketed to absurd levels. A pwns a trio of GN-powered GN-Xs using a non-GN-powered S1-era Flag. Graham would be PROUD, to say the least.

Re: What do you want to see in the next Gundam series?

I want an overarching theme that is NOT "War is Bad". Listen, Sunrise, we get the point already. War/Fighting is an awful thing. We should avoid it at all costs. You can stop beating us over the head with it now. We've been hearing the same message since 1979 with few exceptions (Gundam X,...

Re: The Official Gundam 00 Anything Thread Mk VIII

Aliens in OO sounds a little fishy-- I agree, especially since the only thing we've seen of these "aliens" in the trailers are those mechanical attack drones that look like souped up GN Fangs (though they don't emit particles). I suspect this will just be another product of Veda and Schen...

Re: The Official 00 Mecha Thread Mk XVI

It is, and we have no idea. And yes, the one in the bottom two has different equipment. Interestingly, at leas to me its two shields vaguely evoke the 00-Raiser's shoulder binders. Doesn't Setsuna get some sort of custom GN-X unit (that or a Flag, I forget which)? Maybe the 00-Raiser resemblance is...

This probably doesn't mean much, but is it just me or does that beam rifle look exactly like Plutone/Nadleeh's?

The text translation then:(by:mike_s_6) Raphael Gundam The new Gundam that Tieria drives. You can guess that from the slim silhouette to the leg shape, that it comes from the line of the Gadessa series. Also, the enormous unit that has beam armaments fires a conspicuous color. Again, because this i...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk I

Does anyone else find it humorous that the Unicorn (and Bernarge's) very first opponent is an End Boss-class mecha? The Kshatriya is large, bulky, and loaded up with bits. Like a fusion of the The O (Zeta's final boss) and Qubeley (ZZ's final boss). Yeah, almost exactly like the Quin Mantha :mrgree...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk II

I've only seen the raw version so what exactly was said about Newtypes? I could quote the fansub, but it's easier to summarize. Basically, there's a conversation about Deikun's original theory and how the perception of Newtypes is more or less opposite of what he preached. His idea was that the enh...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Mecha Thread Mk I

Saw that this afternoon, and I think I agree. I was also astounded at the maneuverability of the Stark Jegan compared to its fellows - once it ditched those missile pods, that is, which I suppose should come as no surprise given the number of extra thrusters on that thing. What I really liked about...

Saw episode 1, seriously this ova alone probably has the best and most skilled faceless grunt pilots out of all the gundam series, I mean seriously against a very powerful newtype mobile suit the Stark Jegan and ReZel (especially the Stark Jegan) lasted quite a bit while fighting the Kshatriya.

This applies alot for Phillip, who appears to be some sort cyborg or artificial being or just some sort of super genius. Also, considering how Decade 31 ended...

Re: Gundam Perfect Mission

Beautiful. I especially enjoyed seeing the V2 Gundam and the original Wings of Light. Victory has been pretty under-represented outside of its own series. There did seem to be a lack of consistency. Like they showed the 'upgraded' versions of some machines (00-Raiser, V2 Gundam, Wing Zero), while st...

This might even fit into Ribbons planing. Think about it like this. Ribbons manipulates Anew into using CBs medical nano technology to enhance Setsunas brain into being able to use quantum brainwaves, which would be the same way Louise was changed. This way Setsuna might be reached via Veda and may...
