Yeah I agree and we did see it fail at some points. For example Ali and Lockon still wanted to kill each other for the most part even though they might have "understood" each other. Yeah, but I think if people understood the way Ali thinks, they'd just want to kill him even more. Humans c...

Out of curiosity how much does it cost to produce a Gundam series? Like say 00?

Since, that would reflect a budget, for any serious attempt to make a movie (hypothetically speaking).

Although Ali didn't exactly die an epic death, it's appropriate. He would have enjoyed going out with a bang, instead, he goes out with a whimper. They really could have ended the series with this episode if they structured it a bit different, but I guess a final battle between Setsuna and Ribbons i...

I would imagine as many people in Hollywood have seen a Gundam show as they have seen Cowboy Bebop. Which would be very few. (If you consider they usually had at least one gundam show going when Bebop was around, e.g. 0080, 0083, 08th MS Team). Still, an online community does not equal movie tickets...

I think something in the style of 08th MS Team would be best. Avoid the super robot territory a lot of series go into. Make it gritty. No 15 year olds jumping into Gundams, or a gigantic space carrier under the control of a couple of random kids and misfits. At least, if you want to hit the PG-13 de...

People might be jumping the gun here. Like Shadowcell said, Speed Racer, crashed and burned, and Dragon Ball looks like one of the most epic failures in the making. If this trend continues, no one will want to touch anime movies. It remains to be seen how Avatar plays out (does that qualify as an an...

Setsuna-Marina always seemed like a simple surrogate mother/son thing, especially since Marina shows a lot of maternal instinct, note the fact that she always seems to literally have a couple of kids floating around her.

I'm not too surprise at Feldt's confession. She was always a quiet girl who hid her feelings but still, they could have made it a bit more obvious, perhaps the occasional peeping scene or her smiling at him like there was with Neil. Why is it a "confession" though? It's already been made ...

Does anyone stay dead in this show? It's like Marvel is running the place.

And I'm not talking about Ribbons, there's a certain scene with a figure who's face we don't get to see, but we hear his rank.

Some of you took what I said out of context. I said that to clarify that I meant they sound alike, but not just because of the similar name, even if it is just a place holder name. The basic premises also sounds the same.

Am I the only one who thinks 0081 sounds a little too much like 0083? And I don't mean just the name.

The excuse for Char seems dubious to me. How did he ever become a mobile suit pilot if he had (or rather, claimed to have) serious health or eye problems? If it's anything like the tests to become a fighter pilot (or even a tank driver) he'd be out of luck. Desperation? They were sending kids strai...

Well I don't think Nena had much of a chance. She's in an outdated mobile suit, fighting a state-of-the art mobile armor. She lasted pretty long considering. I was hoping she would get to kill Ali before the story ended, but I guess not. I'm still not sure why they kept her alive as long as they did...

I think people have to keep it in perspective though. UC has us believe that the world was able to create, what? Enough colonies to comfortably house 9 billion people in space in 50 years? So, that said, the entire Federation churning out a couple of thousand GMs in a couple of months is pretty easy...

People sure don't die easily in this series. Wang is still alive. But at least, it looks like Nena might finish the job.

I counted a total of 11 fireballs. And given that they're mostly crashing into stuff, I'd have to say they're probably mostly Decepticon (except maybe the four that crashed in Giza, next to the pyramids). And one is possibly Starscream, so that's at least 10 new guys (and gals). Apparently Barricade...

Saji does wear a Celetial Being pilot suit, it's just in pure white instead of two-tone like everyone else's. And it's probably more out of practicality than anything else, if those two are going to be piloting better give them a pilot suit. Although, does this mean they have vast reserves of unifo...
