Turn A Gundam works out better in this case as the advanced tech fits into Clarks Third Law (Nanomachines can actually repair the units), so that may more easily Handel the volcanic heat ( Though Corin is still running around above the ava with no Ill effect). As for Layzner Layzner itself doesn't ...

I mean, we have people working near volcanoes and most of the time we see them in a fire resistant suit and they are fine. Some even got away with it without protective wearing. For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-42316039 That's very different to the circumstances being discussed though...

It really depends on the technology of the series. Which is to say, it really depends on how divorced the series is from anything resembling conventional physics or modern technology. Most of the time, writers forget that convection is a thing and that just hanging out near something like magma woul...

Episode seven of Metallic Rouge finally gets off its arse and does some proper exposition. Too little, much too late, and what detail we get really makes it feel like the story of Rouge Redstar and Naomi is far and away the least interesting thing going on in the setting. The reveal that Naomi is a ...

It depends on your definition of "official announcement." I mean something like a press release... the kind of thing that generally drives news posts on hobby sites. The majority who can't read/speak Japanese tend to depend on those to feed into news outlets in their native language. But,...

Guess you need to search better. They've mentioned it quite a few times in interviews and whatnot. Granted only one liners, but crucial updates included: It feels a bit unfair to say I need to search better and then in the same breath admit that there aren't any official announcements to find and t...

Episode 6 is no better... what a mess. For some reason, the writers felt compelled to remind the audience how pretentious they are by having an annoying minor character go on about his love for paper books while holding copies of The Brothers Karamazov , King Lear , and Alice in Wonderland . I'm sur...

So... getting caught up on Metallic Rouge after a spectacular failure to care about its release schedule. In a way, it's oddly impressive how consistently bad the writing in this series is. If you're going to do a flashback episode, the flashbacks should actually add something meaningful to the stor...

So you have various sources for After Colony mobile suits that seem to give wildly different ideas of what the Tallgeese is capable of, some say it can accelerate at over 15G or is it 20G. But then others still I believe merely say it can pull maneuvers that put 12G's of stress on the pilot(basical...

I can't find any updates in the last two years or so...

Say someone was making a new crossover Mecha RPG game (It certainly ain't me aside from a silly personal TRPG). They want to fill it with lots of units, including the obscure ones, such as the variations from Dougram. Then there is the problem, there is virtually no information for these lesser kno...

Do we've any idea how energy-intensive are VF stuffs such as the laser turrets, beam cannons, and pin-point barrier? For a few items, anyway... the VF-1's Mauler ROV-20 laser cannon is rated at 5,000kW, with the A-type having one, the D-type and J-type having two, and the S-type having four. Energy...

Variable Fighters use some kind of hydrogen fuel, but what about the boring old fusion power plants? What do they use? I vaguely remember someone talk about using sea water because they contain lithium and deuterium. Variable Fighter Master File is the only publication I know of that goes into enou...

You are right, I did get the wrong impression. But when I first read it, it was the first time I thought negatively of HG. Thank you for clearing that up. No worries... and yeah, HG certainly has spent twenty-something years making it EXTREMELY easy to think the worst of them. In practical terms, B...

As for the Mountain Cycles themselves , are they manmade mountains or did they form naturally over the units? Because if the mountains are natural that would take quite a lot longer than what seems to be implied. It's implied they started as natural formations... and have subsequently been covered ...

I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!! Those losers at HG went back on their promise to release the other Macross titles that hadn't been already released. Apparently it was announced two years ago and I am more appalled that I am the last to know. Go back HG to your "real" estate deals, you scumbags! ....

That's a more literal take on "history repeating itself" than I think the showrunners meant...

That kinda led me thinking about the mountain cycle naming. They are cycles because it happens in cycles. You dig deeper you get more. That was probably the intention behind the naming. The official released timeline picture shows other timelines merging into CC, they don't happen to overlap before...

Just when was the Earth Alliance formed? Was it before or after the start of the Cosmic Era? If they weren't organized into a world government yet, that would also hamper the ability to keep Coordinator Projects under wraps. The Earth Alliance was founded on February 7th, CE 70. It declared war on ...

Sure, it may be clear after reading the supplementary materials but I like to watch shows without reading on the background info first to avoid any spoilers. While the series does state the black history is in the past, that requires the viewer to believe that what they are hearing is absolutely tr...
