Perhaps, instead, the Thrones and their pilots will be replacing three people who Tieria doesn't feel are up to snuff as Gundam Meisters.... I'm just waiting for Tieria to find something about Lockon to complain about. So far, he's probably the only person in CB Tieria hasn't criticized as being un...

I'm going to assume that since the last three Gundam tv shows have been 50 episodes each, this one will be as well and they'll split it down the middle and end with 25. Is the second half of Geass beginning in March? Good timing. Then it should finish around the same time the second half of 00 begin...

That was definitely an awesome fight, especially Graham's not-a-Char-Kick. Next episode looks like it'll have another good one with Pissed Off!Setsuna and Ali having a rematch. Pity it won't air for two weeks.

Awesome, Awesome to the max. The Flag equipped with the new armor looks sweet! Reminds me alot of Military camo. Maybe this armor will be the key to defeating the CB's Gundams. But i highly doubt that, since the armor will just make the flag slower. More like 'because it's a side-story design unlik...

Going off memory here, the wings do emit in a vaguely X-shape. The only offensive equipment is a rifle whose grip doubles as a Zanber like the Crossbone X1 and 2 used, no shields and no Core Fighter. ETA: Ok, beaten to the punch. Yeah, the Record Breaker wasn't really intended as a combat suit judgi...

Hmm, in any case, I wonder what the belt-feed like thing on the back of the Eins is? It certainly doesn't look like a chain gun or something is mounted on the shoulder plate... It's strange really. It's connected from the shield to its left fore arm. Can't make head nor tails of what it could be. I...

Thus far, I see nothing said about what happened to the O Gundam itself. I will say this: trading your current Gundam for the O Gundam means you're downgrading yourself to a prototype of lower performance as opposed to receiving an upgrade. I'm not so sure. 0 has those GN 'wings' way bigger than th...

Yeah, I think the names fit with the angelic convention they're going for (insert yet another 'look, a Xenogears parallel' note here) and the fact that they're numbered in a series tends to support the idea that they're MP units. No doubt the marketing department loves the idea because they can rele...

i must admit that the all haro repair "droids" was a little disturbing, obviously haros have almost never been this useful. seems like they might try and take over someday. :shock: Could this lead to the long-awaited appearance of G-Generation's Pycho Haro in an anime?! i think we can mak...

If you can get a copy it'll be worth it. You'll also realize how many references Xenosaga made to it, especially in Episode III (which also established XS as a spiritual prequel to XG rather than a direct one but I digress). Something else occurred to me. Given that there's been talk about starting ...

Yeah, Allelujah fans rejoice for this is Character Development. Oh, and it was cool watching him see his other half. During the whole shuttle flas...

Given how appropriate the literal (rather than contextual) translations of Exia, Dynames, and Kyrios are, particularly combined with the meanings of their similarly Greek-dervied pilots' codenames Ok, I know absolutely no Greek so what's the difference between the literal and contextual meanings?

I'll take it. My Japanese knowledge isn't the best but I might be able to read some of it. Oh, and thanks for that link earlier.

Well, now I'm curious about the much mentioned 'incident' with Nadleeh and why it's supposed to be so damn scary since all we see it do here is fire the same guns Virtue already uses, just with a bit more accuracy than he had before. Ok, the hair is pretty creepy looking... EDIT: Never mind the firs...

Argh, if that's true I'm going to have to find a way to read these sidestories (even though from what I've heard, Fon Spark sounds like a CE druggie reject).

Epyon still takes it for having the most painfully awkward transformation/MA mode in Gundam. While it may be kind of awkward, I think that the Zeta series is much more so. Love the design but compare the (relatively simple) 'flip the legs all the way back, retract the head and hands and somehow att...

The recent bunch of model links on Gunota has info on some of the HG kits (all the Gundams but Virtue plus the Flag and Tieren). The info may be utterly trivial but it gets my mecha-nut gears spinning. The Kyrios scan mentions that it has a 'MS-use Knife'. It's not referring to the beam saber since ...

One of the episodes in Destiny (22 I think) had the wrong episode number listed in the title.

I can't check right now but I think that the first time we see the Gouf in MSG, its heat saber actually acts like a beam saber (now you don't see it, now you do).
