The Phasing out of the Pegasus Class?
So is it every explained why or when exactly the Pegasus Class ( and Trojan Horse Ships like the Argama and Nahel Argama in general) are phased out? For example the Titan's have no shortage of resources, yet aside from the Dogosse Giar they all have much smaller ships that almost seem like cruisers,...

Re: How do the explosive bolts on the Hyaku Shiki Kai Full Armor work?
Looking at the battle it seems as though the Chobham Armor is heavily damaged from taking the brunt of the mines charges from the Kampfer (it's never made clear what exactly the mines would have been used for, they may have been an added weapon to the Alex, or they may have been released in space li...

Re: Post Disaster Terraforming (IBO)
Interestingly the Colonization of Venus (after a meteor hits it) and resulting political tension is the basis of the Manga/Movie Venus Wars Directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko ( Character designer for most of the UC Gundam verse ) and made by short lived Anime Studio Kugatsusha. On the second point the m...

Re: Post Disaster Terraforming (IBO)
Sorry , I forgot Jupiter was a Gas Giant, I think that's why Mars is most commonly colonized in Sci Fi, because (Very Relatively speaking) it is more similar to Earth than other planets (at the very least it has a solid surface) As for Venus some sources claim it lost out to Mars on terraforming and...

Post Disaster Terraforming (IBO)
So is it ever stated just how much of the Solar System is Terraformed in IBO? Obviously the story focuses upon Mars and we later see Jupiter Colonization (Though whether people terraform the surface or just live in orbital colonies is unclear), With the Urdr Hunt Game and soon to be animation projec...

Bang Brave Bang Bravern
So this series is coming out in a few weeks, what are everyone's thoughts? It's being directed by Masami Obari and the mechanical designs look really cool. Is there any word on if this will will be released internationally?

Code Geass Roze
So what does everyone think of this? Apparently it will be a four film set that will start this year, and maybe focus on a different cast. So far the animation and character designs looks neat, and it seems this series will have animation that's a bit more like Akito The Exiled than the last Geass m...

Re: Teiwaz groups... More information?
the only way I could see these companies making an "Appearance" would be as a background Easter Egg, like the names appearing on a sign in a colony city or on a cargo box, that would provide nice background details that tie everything together (that's assuming they don't go the Eureka Seve...

Expanded Universe Details?
So just how long have expanded Universe been a thing in Anime? I'm not talking about Manga to Anime adaptations, I mean works in print that flesh out a story's universe and mechanics. Gundam had the early 80's MSV series, but as has been discussed elsewhere on the forum it seems like a lot of early ...

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I
that would make sense Athrun already has a history of going undercover, though hopefully he'll do a better job of it than in Destiny Also does anyone else think some of the new characters are some sort of Coordinator Clone Like Rau and Rey ? Several of the characters look very similar to the main ca...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I
Seed and 00 had a decent amount of side info, granted they are two of the more popular Gundam AU's. As has been discussed above the more popular the show the more side material becomes available. This is particularly notable because most AU's only really focus upon the main Gundam units, and it's hi...

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I
The only part of the most recent trailer that has Athrun in it, is a brief scene of him in an MS Cockpit. Still the trailers do a good job of showing just enough to keep the audiences speculating without delving too much into spoilers (that being said part of the trailer does remind me of the Code G...

So how does this game work exactly? The App Store suggests it's free, with "In Game" purchases, so how much is available on the free version?

Re: Zeon's Reaction to Char's Day of Dakay Speech
Another factor to consider (which also probably has a lot to due with CCA being Greenlit) is Char's disappearance at the end of the Gryps Conflict. What exactly Char's goals were after the conflict is unclear (though obviously he wanted to avoid Haman and her group), and frankly it would be interest...

Moving Cities?
So while watching Arknights with its Mobile City concept (that the wiki theorized was similar to Mortal Engines), I just wondered , how common are Mobile Cities in Sci Fi anyway, the Only other example I can think of is Chrome Shelled Regios (and that concept is more like a City Ship from Macross th...

Re: Hizack vs. G-Line vs. Pale Rider DII
Agreed with the whole Barzam thing. The Marasai proved more than capable as a Mass Produced MS (even if it's color scheme made it more obvious it was an AEUG unit following in the Rick Dias's second color scheme). Meanwhile the Barzam ultimtely never made it very far due to simply being far too ordi...

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I
The lips are a bit odd as it makes it look like the female characters are always wearing lipstick (which given how many of them are soldiers seems unlikely). This has been brought up before, but I do wonder if there will be more use of Cloning in the movie as there are several new characters that re...
