Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

Definitely they've set up a lot of interesting directions for the plot to go.

Even now with
Spoiler
The main characters traveling to a devastated Tokyo and then possibly a post apocalyptic Earth
it seems like the plot will get a lot more intense now.

Underrated GM Custom" [/quote]Err, do you recall which episode has the Wodom's armor blocking a beam? All the points I mentioned above were kinetic projectiles. When the Turn-A's beam rifle hits it in the 2nd episode is just barely grazes it, in a "singed their hair" kind of way..[/qu...

Re: Capabilities of the Turn A Gundam

Granted the deliberately vague history makes things muddled, but does anybody else think the Wodom maybe post dates the Sumo? Both were excavated from the Moon, but the Wodom is far larger than the Sumo and has far superior beam blocking armor. Maybe some point in history had humanity restart the MS...

Re: The proliferation of coordinator tech in Cosmic Era

Just when was the Earth Alliance formed? Was it before or after the start of the Cosmic Era? If they weren't organized into a world government yet, that would also hamper the ability to keep Coordinator Projects under wraps.

Re: The proliferation of coordinator tech in Cosmic Era

There isn't really much information on this in the anime, Upon checking out the episode on George Glenn (I have Crunchyroll and they have the HD Remaster so the scenes with Glenn are now added to ep 15 , so if there is any missing content , sorry but this is the only version I have access to), It se...

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

The darker part of the plot may be getting more dominant now, so hopefully they at least keep it like that for a while, because as dark as the plot is getting adding too much comedy now will create an inconsistent tone, of course that's been part of the series from the start. I'm not against the com...

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Mecha Thread Mk I

Thanks , I remember seeking out the Forbidden Vortex (Which as Yazi has said is identical to the Forbidden Blue), but I missed the Dagger. It is neat that the CE verse actually added a lot of the MSV is official sequel series.

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Anime Thread Mk I

The Eclipse unit being a deterrent to show what would be possible, Antifactis being made up of Half Coordinators who were manipulated into fighting ZAFT with their own old units by the Atlantic Federation, and are attempting to nuke the Atlantic bas...

Re: Bang Brave Bang Bravern

This episode really ended up taking a turn for the dramatic Tokyo is devastated, and who knows about the rest of the world, and all it is played quite seriously . So it really seems to be going more for ZZ in mixing comedy and drama, and this episode actually did it a lot better, as it started out l...

Re: Freeden II - Beam Deflection Field

True, I've read that some kits do have weapons that never actually appear in animation, granted there could be several factors in that, the model and animation units had miscommunication, the show was cut short, or maybe the model is based on a earlier drat that had some weapons removed in the final...

So would this actually be the first animated appearance of the GAT-01A1 Dagger? It only seems to have been in Manga and MSV before.

Re: The Official Gundam SEED FREEDOM Mecha Thread Mk I

Its great to finally see the full range of different units in the movie. Unsurprisingly almost everyone gets either their own Gundam or their own custom MS (in this case the main characters seem to have several of each) In particular Its nice to see upgraded units to the Duel and Buster, especially ...

Re: Spreading Minovsky Particles

While the N-Jammers are obviously the CE's version of Minovsky Particles, they at least give a more concrete explanation as to how they work (that being said the admittedly few earthbound locations we see in SEED don't seem to have any issues with energy).

Re: Capabilities of the Turn A Gundam

There always seemed to be some Gundam AU's that fit better with the "Black History" of countless conflicts. Gundam X always seemed like it could really be the end of the Universal Century with it's focus upon Newtype Phenomenon (Using Newtypes themselves not some AU Expy), Plus there's the...

Kaina of The Great Snow Sea Builders

Kaina largely isn't a mech show until later on in the story, so is their any more detail on the "Builder" robot that's used by Valghia? It seems to be something of a lost technology like in Turn A Gundam (or for another Nihei work Blame!), but for a "Builder" unit it seems to hav...

Re: Metallic Rouge

Having watched the 3rd episode I think the show is getting a bit more engaging; mainly the characters actually reacting differently to the issues with Nean Rogue spends the entire episode getting to know various Neans and is rather disturbed when a Nean with a child's body is murdered. Naomi herself...

Having just seen Episode 3 it could well be trying a Gunbuster (starts as an affectionate parody grows into well done drama by the end) albeit with Yaoi subtext instead of Yuri. The battle sequences are again very well done(this time with a shark mecha) on another note There's the Alien character Lu...

Re: Synduality Noir

Having just seen Episode 15 , I'd say it's the best of the series so far. We finally get more background on many of the characters and settings Such as the fact that Tokio and Black Mask are connected somehow (probably being related to a degree) to the point that he follows Black Mask at the episode...
