Yeah, but why "Knight of Vilkiss"? Why not "Knight of Norma" or "Knight of Arzenal"? Why that para-mail in particular?

So, this week Cross Ange goes back to being Cross Ange in all its trashy glory. Tusk said something interesting: he's a part of the "Knights of Vilkiss". Why is his loyalty directed to a machine rather than, say, the Norma? Here is where I present another crazy theory: the Vilkiss came fro...

Anyways, onward to the question: Are there any women who designed mecha for various shows (aside from Kaishaku's Kannazuki no Miko), or is this proof of Japan's misogyny? This is a really stupid and sweeping generalization. Don't spout more nonsense like this or you'll get an official warning. To a...

Yep, we see a Musai launching from the Origin Dolos Holy moly, it's true! I wonder how many people's jaws will drop if they start cranking out Salamis Kai (with launch pads and all) for the Solomon campaign! They are keeping things pretty faithful to the manga. Thus, we won't see any upgraded Salam...

The short answer to that is that nobody knows. I don't know if even Mark can answer that question. The civilian politics of the Earth Federation, in particular during the OYW, are one of the less explored points of the whole setting. Unicorn is one of the few stories that tries to explore that, thro...

I enjoy those little touches, like the girl who was sleeping while Salia was watching the movie, or the dog looking guilty, or Ange also blaming Hilda for the Pero suit's smell. Or the two girls trying to have a "moment alone", or Vulcan (Jasmine's dog) eating from a plate full of hamburg...

I took it from there and did something with Aegisub: http://www.mediafire.com/download/cj6sj ... gin_PV.rar

If you can translate the rest, I'll finish it.

Link to the preview . Bandai Channel is blocked. Japanese IPs only. The official page includes mechanical profiles for Zaku II High Mobility Type (the Tri-Star's units during Loum), Valkyrie (Dozle's personal Musai -class), Magellan -class, Ananke (you know this one already, and Saberfish.

I have to call it as of right now, I am counting down the time it takes until Hilda inevitably dies in battle either trying to off Ange or sacrificing herself after she and Ange find some way to make peace. If it's the latter, I would expect an event like maybe her ex-lovers Rosalie and Chris getti...

We sure this isn't just more of that "Americans can't handle overt sexuality" thing? My passport would argue otherwise, D_G. If the intent was solely fanservice, then we'd have seen much more explicit stuff than this. There is kind of a limit to the stuff you can put on the screen, even f...

He was constantly talking about Orb's ideal, which does not include understanding between Natural and Coordinator. That's simply a byproduct of Orb accepting both types of people. I won't yell that what you're saying is false, but it sure is incorrect. Orb's ideals are related to both its neutralit...

He's still a strawman since people assume the worst of him and act like anything he touches is crap just because he did one show they don't like. Let's not mince words here: Cross Ange is trash. But very entertaining trash, which is more than can be said about Destiny . The two Cosmic Era TV series...

One more thing, can someone tell me how much control Fukuda has in this series? He is the PRODUCER correct? Not the writer, not the director. So when people say things like, "Fukuda has no shame! How dear he (insert complaint here of someone taking the show too seriously)" I wonder how ac...

His version of peace is the end of humanity itself. He, at no point whatsoever, talked about peace. You're trying to fit Rau's words in a way that it forcefully fits your argument. Orb being neutral and standing up to its beliefs They don't expect other countries to understand Orb or for Orb to und...

A conflict between who? The Titans and the AEUG? How would Anahiem know that the the Titans would be created in response the the colony drop and turn out to be such evil douche bags 0083 makes pretty clear that there were radicals within the EFSF. A colony drop by Zeon malcontents is the perfect ex...

Of course. That's what the word everybody means. Are you sure? At least in the case of Rau, his goal wasn't peace. His sole motivation was mankind destroying itself in the flames of war. I did, and they hardly talked about mutual understanding. They talked about peace and not being in such a hurry ...

Everybody wanted peace, they just had different solutions to achieve it. You think? Does that include Blue Cosmos/LOGOS, Zala-era ZAFT and Rau? And mutual understanding wasn't really hammered. Of course it was. Did you watch the show? That's all the spiel of the "good" characters: Kira, L...

No, for a very important reason that all the 00 sidestories seem to overlook. The most important event(s) previous to Celestial Being's reveal were the Solar Wars. This series of conflicts are the genesis of everything about 00's setting: mobile suits as commonplace weapons, the three global powers,...

I agree. After all, cynicism is the primary motivator for Rau and Durandal for wanting to destroy and control humanity, respectively. My argument is that all the cynicism present in SEED was accidental in nature. The "good protagonists" serve as mouthpieces for the writing and its message...

The big problem with the "Anaheim did it" theory is that we know exactly WHY the Delaz Fleet didn't hit Jaburo: they weren't targeting it in the first place. Their primary goal was to damage Earth's crop production and make them more reliant on imports from the colonies. Anaheim didn't st...
