Mecha Talk

Favorite part of the episode for me:
Hilda's reactions in the background to Tusk's face ending up in Ange's crotch. Again.

June MG Kit: Fenice Rinascita
4800 yen

Looks nice, unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if they announce the Wing Gundam Fenice as a webshop exclusive.

A couple of webshop exclusive HGs were announced too:
Crossbone Gundam X2 Kai
And
Stark Jegan (CCA MSV Ver.)

He's a manipulative bastard all right.

From his dialogue with Ange, it really seems that his main motivation is that he's immortal and bored.

To tell the truth.

Just a guess:

I must say Hilda's visit with her mother went about as well as I figured, especially once they showed the younger sister. Had no doubts after they showed her that she was going to be named Hilda as well. Sylvia was a bit of a surprise, given the way that Ange felt about their relationship, though g...

It looks like you might be able to peg the shield's support arm into the hole on 00's backpack. I'm not too sure of it though, I don't have the Qanta kit so I can't check on my own, but it looks like it shouldn't be too difficult to figure something out. Also: Dalong.net is a great resource for all ...

I'm a little surprised no one died in this episode. I was fully expecting the other girls' shenanigans to get someone killed.
Would've been a fitting lesson for the way the show started off.

Just a small comment: The pres saying he doesn't battle isn't the same as saying he can't. Which was pretty much his point. The catch-all plastic modelling club would do it better than the specialized Gunpla Battle club. Kinda seems redundant, though they'll most certainly show us why it isn't in a ...

Gunpla revealed!!!

Build Burning Gundam - Notably not based on God Gundam, but on Burning Gundam
Lightening Gundam - Based on ReGZ, there's a listing around for the Lightening BWS
Winning Gundam - Not sure what this is based on.

Double post for a bump! Season 2 has just started, first episode is on Crunchyroll! The (older)boys are now in their third year, and have to get more members by the next year or the club loses it's official status. A couple of highlights: Gou is in charge of the recruitment presentation, and pretty ...

Bah, Adult Swim cut the opening short. Had the music though, just not as awesome in the cut they used. No build up from the song, just jumps into the plateau toward the end.

Well, Build Fighter's HG line isn't done yet! HGBF Amazing Exia and Fenice Rinascita HGBC Vulcan Pack , no sign of a new Gyan to go with it yet though. A friend for HG Gundam X: HGAW Gundam Airmaster And a couple more from Unicorn: HGUC Zeta Plus A1 Unicorn Version HGUC Schuzrum Galluss (I'm assumin...

So I'm ordering the new HG V2 Gundam and I noticed that it does not include the Wings of Light. Does Bandai indeed to sell them separately or will I have to go without? I'm buying the kit regardless but I'd like to know. Nothing announced yet, either in the form of the extra equipment sets or WoL e...

Another comment of Fenice Rinascita. I'm thinking it might be based on the Harute. Simplified transformation: looks like the legs condense slightly (the armor bits on the outsides of the calves looks to link up with the extended side skirt armor), arms just kinda tuck away (underneath to mount the s...

I'd say it's fairly comparable to the Earth Federation's practices post-OYW. Yes, the White Base and all it's relatives were incredibly useful ships, but they were all too expensive (Argama and Nahel Argama don't count, they weren't made for the EF). Fine for a flagship, where you want to show off, ...

The scene where she's stabbing at the Fenice brought Eva Unit 1's first battle to mind more than anything else, for me anyway. The stance and way she stabbed really reminded me of it.

I found it to be quite thoroughly enjoyable, lots of laughs and wonderful all around. My biggest fear is that people will hate it for the fact that it isn't Cowboy Bebop. Which seems to be happening already, and makes me wonder if said people even watched Bebop, since that too had it's own substanti...

As said, proper posing can help alleviate issues with tilting. An action base of some sort would be great too, as the kit's mounting point is on the back under the backpack (something I'd wish more kits would do, makes posing without leaning a lot easier).

I give this ending a resounding meh.
Far from the worst, just rather disappointing considering the rest of the stuff they've thrown at us.
