The EF was nixed but what about the colonies? Did they get nixed or not? I'd assume that without the support of the EF, the colonies began dying out when they started failing. Makes Full Frontal's plan in Unicorn sound kind of suicidal doesn't it? There's no reason the colonies would necessarily ha...

Is it just me, or does it sound like the more stuff the surfaces about Reconguista the more it sounds like Yoshiyuki Tomino is saying Zeon and all the other spacenoid supremeist groups have basically screwed humanity over in a big way as without the Earth Federation things turned to crap. Which kin...

Man, the whole Gundam political/technological timeline gets so murky with changes to what existed when and to what degree that at a certain point I had to just give up and take every individual work as its own thing, with thematic and chronological links to the rest, but not grounded in a consistent...

I was given the first volume of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin as a birthday present from a buddy of mine a few weeks back, and it is absolutely excellent. I'd passed on them earlier, both because I'd been away from Gundam for so long, and because I'm not much of a manga guy in general, so the prici...

I didn't claim that there was anything "objectively" wrong with it at all; putting words in my mouth doesn't bolster your point. Whenever we discuss opinions on media, we're discussing things that are, without exception, subjective, and assuming otherwise because somebody didn't throw a su...

Unicorn exists in the same world as Transformers, which is much worse, sure. But if we're using an exaggerated negative comparison, we also have to compare it to the positive peaks as well. We live in a world with James Joyce, and Kurosawa, and Tarkovsky. Even if we just limit it to science fiction,...

Yo! I already posted in the Gundam Unicorn discussion thread, but I figure an introduction is probably a good idea as well. I used to post under the same username at Gundamproject.com and Gundam.com a long time ago when both of those sites existed, and fell out of the Gundam forum scene for a long t...

Even if he wasn't #1, he was damn close to it and just kinda pushing him aside and forgetting about him seems like a strange writing decision. The UC timeline continues as if he never existed. I actually find that to be a pretty smart writing decision, for exactly that reason. Kamille, by the end o...

Long time browser of the website (and "Mecha Domain" before that), first time poster on the forums here, though I used to post ages ago on Gundamproject.com and Gundam.com. I guess Unicorn just made me angry enough to break my silence. I'm going to be perfectly blunt and say right up front...
