Re: Cross Ange- New Sunrise x Fukuda mecha show

Yep. I don't care anymore. Screw G-Reco and Gundam Build Fighters Try. This is my favorite Sunrise show this season. What a great episode, that really embraces what this series is all about! :) OP music doesn't surprise me. Fukuda has always been more about sensationalism rather than true craft and...

Re: Cross Ange- New Sunrise x Fukuda mecha show

OP music doesn't surprise me. Fukuda has always been more about sensationalism rather than true craft and impact. The fact that he continues to think the last leg of stories should just have something wishy washy rather than a piece that makes you think 'this is what it all comes down to' just speak...

Re: The Official Gundam The Origin Anime Thread Mk I

To be honest, I'm not all that keen given we've just come off a multi year release of Unicorn and they've chosen a poor way to release this by copying that model. With Unicorn you could feel the clammy hand of Kadokawa prioritising a story that required you to read the original novels to make sense ...

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

So the advanced information network that in Destiny favoured Lacus and her allies was simply blind to any faction or info that would highlight failings of the script on a character and motivation level? Seriously, monster, that's what it's sounding like you're saying. You're less explaining things a...

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

Child soldiers? Super weapons? That's just statistics.

But when a Lacus impersonator dies?....That's when the human cost of the war becomes clear and they must cry NO MORE!!

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

I wouldn't consider it minor. I'd consider it as bad as the fact the main cast of 00 never find out that (per the backstory related outside the show) Celestial Being is actually responsible for alot of the crap they went through before joining it. The script just assumes you're drunk on the fact the...

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

There isn't really much of any pay off to Neo being Mu though. Beast Machines has Megatron brainwash two of the heroes into being his minions, a fact which is slowly revealed to the viewers and remaining heroes. Once out in the open there are actual conflicts for the pair. Do they prefer how he made...

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

Yes, Shinn is the patron saint of letting go of the past to focus on the now and possibilities of the future. Stilll doesn't change what I said. Whatever Freedom did or did not do in the past is irrelevant. Shinn blames Athha for his tragedy. He didn't blame the soldiers fighting in the battle. So ...

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

It would have got in the way of CE's awkward 'EVERY faction uses Gundams'. Shinn was smart enough to look at the archives on Freedom when it became a consistent threat. Given that and his clear existing obsession, you'd have expected him to have researched the battle via ZAFTs available records. Plu...

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

I think it would have been better if Kira had been more of an Amuro; so hurt and jaded by the last war that he doesn't return to fighting until much later. Something I enjoyed about DWG 2 is it highlights a view point that kind of gets silenced in the actual Destiny show. Kira is using a treaty defy...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

I've somehow grown to give Reco an amazing amount of leeway, especially considering how brutal I was to it initially. It's a double standard on my part but I'm just taking it as it comes. Maybe it's because I've got enough bad stuff going on in reality that I can't hold it against Reco for being whi...

So wait, I was right about the Kawaguchi rank diversifying/franchising?

Re: What do you think about Hathaway's Flash?

Keep in mind that just because it's a "streaming" video with English subtitles does not mean that it is geared towards the American market. It's geared towards speakers of the English language, so that includes areas where Gundam Age was region locked and what not. GBF was "limited t...

Re: What do you think about Hathaway's Flash?

To be fair, MAHQ logic once firmly insisted that we'd never see any Gundam on US/international shores again...and now we have both Build Fighters shows streaming, Reco streaming in select regions with a US release being worked on and right stuf coordinating new physical media releases of the rest o...

Re: Kill Em'All ending for SEED

Plus the idea of Mu having made allowances to cheat death kind of flies in the face of what we and him learn by the end of SEED- how his hated rival was a clone of his father, created by said father as part of a massive scheme to achieve a form of immortality. Mu having done likewise would make him ...

Re: The Official Gundam Reconguista Anime Thread Mk II

The crotch missiles are the kind of thing I like about Tomino Gundam. MS might use humanoid form but they aren't bound by it so it makes sense to have weapon systems in ways humans can't. Makes more sense to me then giving them hand carried rocket launchers. CE seems particularly guilty of making ev...

Re: The Gundam SEED DESTINY Remaster Thread Mk III

I dislike the whole OS thing because it really plays into the badly fumbled anti-racism message they attempted in CE. "Everybody is equal, we're all human! ...Except for those designer babies, they're better than you stupid Muggles in every way." At least SEED attempted it. By Destiny, th...
