Re: The Principality's Birthday
I could see the Principality being older than mere 10 years as it would have take more time then that to have built the formidable Zeon military forces of the One Year War. Not to mention that Glemy himself doesn't seem to have any particular Newtype abilities. Well, he seems to have no problem pilo...

Re: Believing a Timeline of Zeta
So why are there several conflicting reports on the dates for the events in Zeta Gundam in the first place? Wouldn't the Writing Staff for Zeta have had them all written down somewhere in a writer's bible when they were making the series? Pretty obvious why this is on my mind right now, since I'm cu...

Re: Valvrave The Liberator
Re-watching the flash-forward in Episode 7, it strikes me that Saki seems considerably happier than in the flash-forward in Episode 12. It seems obvious that something significant happens in those three years. Cain refers to Haruto as the 'Third Generation'. Which makes Cain either second or first ...

Re: What is Scirocco's Origin?
He's also heavily based off of the main villain of Heavy Metal L-Gaim, Amandara Kamandara.

Re: Valvrave The Liberator
So has any other mecha series ever gone across this line before? Closest I can think of is a certain infamous scene from The End of Eva. And that was nothing compared to this. Sigh, Valvrave, why did you have to go into a subject matter that is very hard to handle tastefully and makes everyone uncom...

Re: The Gundam SEED Destiny HD Remaster Thread
It worries me that the issue of if PLANT should go to war or not is illustrated by seemingly every single person on the street starting punch ups over if they're for or against. A huge problem I have with CE stories is the mass population are shown to be such ridiculous sheep. It's even sillier whe...

Re: Gargantia on The Verdurous Planet
So the Urobutcher strikes again with with the now expected by him shocking and disturbing plot twist.
Big reveal is... interesting enough, but unless we see signs I'm not sure if it really changes much.

Re: Zeon an allegory for japan?
It's funny but I thought the leaders of the Earth Alliance seemed more European. Azrael was a blond blue-eyed embodiment of Nazi-like ideals while Djibril and his associates in Logos were old-world aristocrats tying to maintain their status as the Cosmic Era's one and only privileged elite. Neither ...

Re: Zeon an allegory for japan?
I read some interesting theories that the Earth Federation was meant to be a satire or criticism of the Liberal Democratic Party-run regime that ruled Japan during 1970s and 80s; which nominally presided over a democratic republic but in reality ran a centralized, bureaucratic technocracy under whic...

Re: CrossBone Gundam FanVideo
Fuuny, I thought Crossbone's main appeal and greatest strength was how vastly different it was from the rest of UC Gundam? I found it's straight forward good vs evil, borderline super robotish storyline to be refreshing change of pace. You can't deny it's certainly more original than yet another Zeo...

Re: Rematch! Rewatching G Gundam
Here something I just realized about G Gundam, The Domon and his friends are the only Gundam protagonists that actually ENJOY fighting! In Gundam, Conflict is nearly always depicted as evil and wrong and characters who like to fight are usually evil psychopaths like Yazan, Gym and Ail. But in G? bat...
