Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Mecha Thread Mk I

So would this actually be the first animated appearance of the GAT-01A1 Dagger? It only seems to have been in Manga and MSV before.

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Mecha Thread Mk I

Its great to finally see the full range of different units in the movie. Unsurprisingly almost everyone gets either their own Gundam or their own custom MS (in this case the main characters seem to have several of each) In particular Its nice to see upgraded units to the Duel and Buster, especially ...

Re: Spreading Minovsky Particles

While the N-Jammers are obviously the CE's version of Minovsky Particles, they at least give a more concrete explanation as to how they work (that being said the admittedly few earthbound locations we see in SEED don't seem to have any issues with energy).

Re: Capabilities of the Turn A Gundam

There always seemed to be some Gundam AU's that fit better with the "Black History" of countless conflicts. Gundam X always seemed like it could really be the end of the Universal Century with it's focus upon Newtype Phenomenon (Using Newtypes themselves not some AU Expy), Plus there's the...

Kaina of The Great Snow Sea Builders

Kaina largely isn't a mech show until later on in the story, so is their any more detail on the "Builder" robot that's used by Valghia? It seems to be something of a lost technology like in Turn A Gundam (or for another Nihei work Blame!), but for a "Builder" unit it seems to hav...

Re: Metallic Rouge

Having watched the 3rd episode I think the show is getting a bit more engaging; mainly the characters actually reacting differently to the issues with Nean Rogue spends the entire episode getting to know various Neans and is rather disturbed when a Nean with a child's body is murdered. Naomi herself...

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

Having just seen Episode 3 it could well be trying a Gunbuster (starts as an affectionate parody grows into well done drama by the end) albeit with Yaoi subtext instead of Yuri. The battle sequences are again very well done(this time with a shark mecha) on another note There's the Alien character Lu...

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

Re: Synduality Noir

Having just seen Episode 15 , I'd say it's the best of the series so far. We finally get more background on many of the characters and settings Such as the fact that Tokio and Black Mask are connected somehow (probably being related to a degree) to the point that he follows Black Mask at the episode...

Re: Metallic Rouge

That is rather a big issue with this show, it's hard to get invested with the main characters (particularly given they treat Nean's like everyone else does), It's possible ( or given the direction these stories usually go , probable) the main characters might eventually change their viewpoint on Nea...

Dorvack Mech Profiles

So is there any site out there that has line art of the mechs from Dorvack? It seems to be rather a cult series, but its hard to find the mech profiles.

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

Going by convention we will probably face the other Six alien mechs soon, of course depending on how long the show itself goes for, there could well be more ships or even a main fleet coming at some point. For the time being the alien mechs seem to increase in size as they go on We also get to see a...

Re: Metallic Rouge

The Second Episode really feels like an improvement on the first. The characters are getting more developed, we get a bit more worldbuilding concerning Mars and Alien war history(again kind of like Cowboy Bebop in the history of the setting getting revealed vaguely through the show). The action set ...

Re: Armored Trooper artificial muscles

It seems like Takahashi reused the Artificial Muscle idea later on, as Gasaraki utilizes them in its real robots.

Re: Expanded Universe Details?

I didn't realize there was actually supposed to be a sequel to F91, though that makes sense honestly. Really it's a shame the issues the movie faced given all the work and side materials put in to the pre production, plus the story itself is also fairly interesting if a bit underdeveloped. Back to A...

Re: Post Disaster Terraforming (IBO)

Terraforming in IBO is another piece of technology that is not exactly explained in detail, The only info
I could easily find suggested chemicals from Venus's atmosphere were used to stabilize Mars , but that was from the Gundam Wiki, so it's hard to find a source.

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

Orange always does a great job on mecha CGI (like Active Raid and Majestic Prince), I guess the earlier mention first episode twist is that this is more of a Super Robot show than Real Robot, at last as far as Bravern is concerned ( anyone else getting a bit of Gurren Lagann vibes from the Bravern? )
