Re: Anime recommendations
Here's what I'd suggest off the top of my head then: Macross Plus (Drama) Captain Harlock (Space Opera) Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket (Tragedy) Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Space Opera) Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex (Cyberpunk) If only the Macross spin offs were easier to access, I hope ...

Re: Anime recommendations
For the shows under the spoiler are those shows you don't like? It seems like you have a pretty broad variety of shows you like, but it sounds like you're looking for one with strong science fiction and realism angle with Mecha being a nice bonus. Here's what I'd suggest off the top of my head then:...

Re: Guncannon and Guntank
Interesting, why do you consider it a Guncannon successor? I've always thought of the Loto as having a Guntank lineage due to it's long barrel cannons; of course its a spec ops machine so it perform multiple roles like being an APC. If I recall correctly I think the F91 Guntank was derived from the ...

Re: Guncannon and Guntank
Guncannon and Guntank fulfilled different roles on the battlefield, if you're asking in terms of "which is better for anti-MS combat" then I suppose it goes to Guncannon by default. The Guntank was very useful for long range bombardments, but those are less useful against moving targets. T...

Re: GUN X SWORD
Does anyone remember who was the primary mecha designer for it? Dann of Thursday has an Obari look to it. ANN tells me that it's Seiji Handa, and most of his current design work is for monster design on the later Yu-Gi-Oh series (starting with Zexal). Gotcha thank you. Dann reminded me a bit of Dan...

Re: GUN X SWORD
I saw a few episodes back in the day but never finished it. Gun X Sword was added into SRW 30, and playing through it reminded me of some of the humorous parts of it. I'll give it a another shot when I've got more free time. Does anyone remember who was the primary mecha designer for it? Dann of Thu...

Re: What do we know about Luna Titanium?
Has it been stated anywhere that when was Luna Titanium created successfully for the first time? Was it considered a military secret back then? And beside the fact that you needed to make it in zero gravity, was there any other difficulties in making Luna Titanium (material, machinery, etc.)? For t...

Re: The Gundam F91?
It's on the RE/100, mine and my RE/100 GP04 are in storage but here's a post showing it. Someone was handy enough to take close up photos showing the monoeye and area to put the gundam eye behind it.

Re: The Gundam F91?
BESPA was basically the SNRI Side 2 that was taken over by Zancare. its likely some of there MS started life as F series suits with Gundam style armor but got moved to the Bug look. You know it would be pretty funny if beneath the Bugfaces there was a Gundam face, kind of like the old Dijeh kits. I...

Re: Gundam 0080 is getting a new manga that retells the anime
0083 Rebellion went off the rails in the last few volumes so to speak. I liked it quite a bit in the original where it mostly followed the same plot while introducing some more modeling quirks (Bandai always has to sell more Gunpla of course) but I appreciated them incorporating in 0081 elements and...

Re: The Gundam F91?
The V2 likely would have been a limited run model since all of its tech advancements would make it much more expensive compared to the Victory, I can't see them handing it out to the regular soldiers. V2 is a lot like the Zeta where it was worthwhile to produce an incredibly expensive but powerful m...

Re: Xenogears Mech Profiles?
The later games introduced the AMWS (more like a Mobile Suit size-wise, versus the AGWS that are something like 3-4 meter mini-mechs) but more importantly it also formally introduced the Ein Sof, AMWS frames built around the plot-important Anima Vessels and which every major faction has a couple of...

Re: Xenogears Mech Profiles?
I really adored the first Xenosaga, had the right mix of action and strange sci-fi storytelling. The Mecha were called AGWS pronounced Aeggs if I recall, they were a neat idea but seemed like an afterthought since most of the time your characters were strong enough to not warrant them, and taking th...

Re: Gunpla battle 1st test event
Oh right, Plamo Wars is pretty old isn't it, that's the one that debuted Perfect Gundam version with the giant legs if I recall. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make a trip out to Japan this year but I'd love to try out the system at some point, sounds like a fun novelty at the very least.
