Re: Gundam Side Material?
Tomino didn't even bother to fix that in Zeta's novel with the excuse being "defeating his previous self". Out of curiosity, where did you pick up that idea from? Did Tomino mention that somewhere? The widely held understanding (all throughout the Japanese info sites/blogs) is that the or...

Re: Gundam Side Material?
If you want answers to burning questions, then I suppose side/supplemental material is a good thing. Is it 100% necessary for enjoying Gundam? Absolutely not. I'd hesitate to call them prologues, though, since that's not quite what they are. They're "prequels" in a sense, but, the noveliza...

Re: Rick Dias and Nemo
This might be a speculation on your own but Gundam's designation system isn't really modelled on that. The EFF designation is a very simple Renbou eXperimental/Gundam Mass-production + the year it started development + variant. It doesn't follow anything like the Tri-service system. The number does...

Re: Rick Dias and Nemo
If we are to take some of the older MSV background material with any sort of authenticity, we're told that the AEUG was forced to choose between two mobile suits. The Rick Dias was unable to keep up with mass production, so that's one reason why it had to go. There was the Marasai and the Nemo. Well...

Re: The Official Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island Anime Thread Mk I
Well. Looks like this is as close we'll ever get to a remake of the old series in Origin Style which is cool by me. Does anyone know the major differences between the recent Manga Remake and the 1979 episode ?? The manga isn't a remake of the episode. It, ironically, doesn't deal that awful much wi...

Re: Luna 2
You are aware the name is Luna II and not Lunar, right?
As for other bases, there's also Damocles. It was a base for the AEUG, but I'd assume the Federation took it over afterwards.

Re: Mobile Suit/ Ship Construction Facilities.
MythSearcher is correct with the mobile dock ships like La Vie en Rose, however the one we see in Side 6 are classified as a "floating dock" and are stationary. A different variety of them appeared in the Origin as well on the Zeon side, and they appear to be about 5x the length of a stand...

If you're referring to the Ohtagaki interview, there's the Otakumode one here with my correction on their translation error here . Which, doesn't really help your argument. It doesn't say anything about it being official or canon, he clearly said that he was basically working on something labelled ...

Re: Gundam Thunderbolt Timeline?
Your position - or at least the way you're presenting your position - makes it sound like you don't consider anyone involved with the production to be capable of speaking with authority or credibility about their own work. That's kind of an odd position to take, if you don't mind my saying so. I un...

I guess you have to learn how to read a sentence. You seem to have completely ignore the second half of my sentence. If you can find any other source about what I said, feel free to quote that. I don't see why on Earth I cannot quote Gundam Officials when I do not know of any other source have said...

Re: Gundam Thunderbolt Timeline?
So, your contention here is that nobody involved in the production of these works is able to speak authoritatively about them in any official capacity? Where do you draw the line about what is authoritative? I mean, look at the raging debate about when G-Reco takes place. Tomino, the creator, says ...

Re: Nomenclature with Weapons on a Ship (UC)
It is a very bad idea to dismiss old material just because new material have not restated it. And also, like I said, I do not have confidence in this being in Gundam Officials, just that I remember reading it, and also made the comment about it not going to make too much of a difference. We shouldn...

Re: Gundam Thunderbolt Timeline?
Yet, unlike the books published for other franchises by the same publisher, the Gundam Master Archive books do NOT carry a disclaimer indicating that their contents are non-canon. Well, we aren't talking about other franchises now are we? What applies to them certainly doesn't apply to Gundam. If t...

Re: Gundam Thunderbolt Timeline?
A book published for the official IP owner with assistance from Sunrise is official, whether you like it or not. You're joking, right? Just because Sunrise has its name stamped into it doesn't mean that the material presented in it is 100% official. For example, the Master Archive series also has a...

There's no actual technological or operational distinction between a "Mega Particle Cannon", "Mega Particle Gun", "Beam Cannon", or "Beam Gun". They're all the same thing. Uh... no, there is a distinct difference in the way that they all operate and this has ...

Re: The Official Gundam Hathaway Anime Thread Mk I
Consider how much have changed since the book was written, it makes sense to have some level of change in the films. The current depiction of EF is pretty different from Tomino's views, both back in FG, Zeta, ZZ and CCA period and currently. While I do not like Fukui's overall ignorance in the back...

Re: New Gundam Seed project; sequel movie, manga and more
The first chapter seems promising so far, especially with the covert/International Rescue vibe; it's also kinda neat that you don't see the Gundam at first, but that'll probably change come chapter 2. The art style is interesting; kinda like if you combined the character designs from SEED with 00. ...

A flip phone. How quaint. Was all right as a start. Nothing too special. Will probably keep an eye out for the next part and check it out. Why is everyone surprised about the flip phone? It's keeping with the theme that was established in the show. Why would they suddenly introduce top of the line ...
