Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I gotta give some credit to Kenanji Avery's mobile suit team in this ep. They put up a better fight than I thought. I believe only 1 of them got damaged and none of them were shot down by the Shaddiq's female team. I got low expectations for most grunt pilots in Gundam, but they accomplished someth...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

I won't call Sophie's death "unrelated reasons mid-fight". We know that using Score 4+ can be fatal, and, as you noted in another post, it's actually Eri who carries most of Suletta's battle (and in this case, she even moves against Suletta's will). So the death is the direct result of th...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

It's a massive anticlimax when you have two characters dueling each other and one drops dead for unrelated reasons mid-fight! That this has happened twice, possibly three times, is a little odd. Suletta had the first Lfrith pilot dead to rights and she just spontaneously drops dead because she over...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Episode 20 sink two ships at once... Guel kick ass and it look like Shaddiq's machinations ends here, too bad that Lauda learns about his brother's fratricide and with Petea gone, he might going to make poor decision. Damn, Elan#5 and Norea become Shinn and Stellar except it's some faceless Dominicu...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Random stuff. Now I want to see Suletta calls Guel by nickname "Gue-gue" and he accept it. Conversely, the investigators may have initially identified it as a Lfrith, but dismissed the idea after noting its components were apparently of more recent vintage, hence the comment in ep.2. It's ...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

It's rather ironic, though, how Eri is still embodied by something that hews closely in appearance to the Lfrith, a symbol of the betrayal of Dr. Nabo's ideals. Do you really need to keep the fire burning that much, Prospera? Except that XGF-02 is the one that carries Vanadis' original goal (they u...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

As expected, facal matter hit a fan and both factions in Benerit Group suffer. Although I'm completely missed about Kenanji's and Eri's roles. Again, this episode is more like IBO in tone, to be specific, the Dort Colonies protest arc. Secelia only mess with Martin and ultimately help him make up hi...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Heck now that suletta knows her 'safe' gundam is powered by babies, Shaddiq could use it to discredit GUND-ARM. Funny, I suspect Suletta will uses the knowledge for Guel and Mirione instead. Likely by use herself as Eri's knock-off so Guel can safely pilot the Schwarzette (à la Ein's method) agains...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Speaking of Suletta's development, now I'm afraid that she might not survive the series... OK, hold on a second... I get that it's Gundam 's usual trope that Gundam-type Mobile Suits have a distinctive appearance that marks them out as Gundams at a glance. That's the case in the UC, CE, AW, and AC t...

Spoiler
Kenanji's present is likely cause disaster in the next episode. I'm certain that Eri going to remember him and she can only grow up so much with her limited social.

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Anime Thread Mk I

Episode 18. Miorine is naive but the idea of pulling public stunt for track record isn't too bad. A bit too optimistic, but it might worth the risk. Although Kenanji being on the scene with Aerial give me bad feeling. Also, regardless of her Mirione's intention, they need to show the new Jeturk's gu...

Re: State of the Titans (post-Gryps)

I still think (mostly because it's more fun) that the siruation is like pre-Disney Star Wars. George Lucas never took Expand Universe into consideration into account when working on it, although he left it on its own. Unlike Disney-era which started by declared everything invalid.

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I

How shameful! I only noticed with its upgrade that Darilbalde's drones are named in Sanskrit. Isvara, or rather Ishvara, means god as concept, usually refers to Shiva. While Ambika means many things, among them is an alias of Parvati, Shiva's wife. So if my understanding is correct, the new backpack...

Re: State of the Titans (post-Gryps)

That nothing but the animation is canon has been official franchise policy for two decades and counting. IIRC, their policy is about "official" status, not canon (hence why it doesn't address the contradiction of animate works). Japanese seem to be fine with how fictional works can contra...

It appears that the Earth Federation blame everything on Titans and treat the wh...
