The Gundam |OT| Destiny is something we all have to deal with

I remember it just feeling very flat delivery wise. It's a space opera and the dub lacks the much needed gravitas to sell the Tomino fuckery. I do wish they got Ocean to redub it since it was during the writers strike.
Sarah with the wrong tone and delivery can be really fucking annoying. I don't remember much of how it sounds, I just remember not really liking it at all. Most of Zeta's characters require the right balance performance wise and if it's not nailed it kind of feels like watching a completely different show.
Yes, my love for Wing is because it's what I first saw, but that's why any of us are into anything. (Fake edit: Well I guess I can see it in the way that despite growing up with the 80s TMNT, I have zero nostalgia for that original series and view the 2012(?) nick turtles as far superior...)
I happen to like Wing's suit designs and that it is NOT part of another dozen or more offshoots of the mainline series.
But I'm not against that sort of thing either as I really enjoyed Thunderbolt, but find its suits uninspired (though I did order me a kit).

I like the Crossbone Gundam but I love the F91 design much more.So, who's excited for Metal Build Crossbone Gundam?
P.S. If anyone is looking to sell their MSV option set for the Metal Build F91lets talk.
You're a strange one.
Anyways, try this. I've used AE before and they're good.
Edit: bah, not the AE I was thinking of. This site seems suspect.
No metal build but I just ordered the Master Grade Ver. Ka even though I already own the MG Full Cloth and it's still in the backlog (I might need help).So, who's excited for Metal Build Crossbone Gundam?
The last episode of Gundam Build Divers is out! I said a bit ago, because I was unimpressed with the plot, that if Sara had anything to do with the story I'd give away a movie. It's clear from impressions that she did, and I'm taking their word for it since I haven't finished it myself. Here is a copy of Ready Player One, the most Gundam thing I can give away over the forum.
To enter the contest, tell us a story of your Gunadm fandom. Maybe you have a story of the lengths you went to getting Gundam videos/stuff to your country. Building your favorite or first gunpla (or breaking a crucial part!). How about your experience trying to tell someone about Mobile Suit Gundam that's never heard of it and how they reacted.
The more people that join in the better so the cutoff time will be around noon Thursday. That's about 48 hours from now. (The prize is a HD US copy, and I'll trust you to figure out if you can use it wherever you are.)
Thanks for playing!
MoonsaultSlayer Congrats on winning. Thanks for sharing your story.
I have vague recollections of an elementary school buddy having some Voltron and, what I later pieced together as, Gundam toys. It always seemed so interesting but kind of forbidden to me as my parents didn't like fighting shows, and Anime was waaay out of anything they understood. A few years ago, when Austin Walker did his gunpla video for Giant Bomb's end of year series, I decided to look into it and try building some kits and watching the shows I had easy access too. It was especially nice when I was burnt out on gaming and could build in my free time instead. Now I've built a couple SD kits with my five year old, and he's pretty into it, even choosing to spend his own money on the last one, a SD Full Armor Unicorn.
Have a great day!
Wow, thank you! This whole thing is so kind of you. Me and my 3 year old loved this movie and the look on his face when he sees Mechagodzilla (his favorite and I'm working a costume for him) vs a Gundam... it's priceless. Been itching to pick it up but parts and tools for his costume have come first of late.
But yes, it's great seeing the little ones getting into the things we enjoy just by simply introducing them. My oldest didn't take to Godzilla or Gundam but my youngest is obsessed.
Here's my latest progress of the costume (with glimpse of my kits in the background) in case anyone was curious:
whaaaaa?! Finally.
I need pics and I have no idea where to go for kit news anymore.
nvm, beautiful:
Also in the finally category, some ZZ Neo Zeon HGUCs:
Eventually, someday, I'll get my Geymalk.

It's P-Bandai so, as far as I'm concerned, it might as well not exist.
The Gustav has me all kinds of excited. He damn well better not be a P-Bandai kit like those ZZ ones probably are.
Watching Unicorn. I'm quite shocked that the doctor from Zeta is still on that ship. Hasn't he seen enough shit? Man the Sinanju and Sazabi are probably my two favorite Char suits...even if Full Frontal technically isn't Char. I love how Full Frontal knows the Char Kick.

B&N usually has a limited but usually solid selection whenever I find myself in one for whatever reason.
I'm sure it varies by location, but I'm used to seeing 2+ year old AU MGs for much higher than retail so it surprised me. I don't go there very often though. They also had a ZZ v.Ka, but I didn't see how much they were asking for it.
The Byarlant scene in Unicorn is so fuckin' rad. It's such a cool redesign of the original.
Yeah the added boosters on it make it look so good. All of the mecha porn in that ep is fucking great, I think it's my favorite ep. There's a lot of Newtype BS in Unicorn that I completely forgot about. I haven't seen every ep since they originally released.
I hate how most of the weird but cool looking suits from Zeta just get an HG, I want an MG Baun Doc so bad.
If the Dijeh got an RE/100 instead of an MG, you should already know that you are getting an MG Baund Doc exactly never.
Which is precisely the month before we are getting the MG Bolinoak Sammahn
A man can dream, let me dream. I want a good Massala, Asshimar and Baund Doc so bad. Zeta has some of my favorite suits.
Shit, I'd just settle for an HGUC Baund Doc Revive, but I ain't holding my breath fro that neither.
What is there to revive if it was never born? I'm not aware of an HG existing of Baund Doc. Ancient 1/144 no grade kits don't count.
The regular Byarlant was "recently" released and it was not considered a revive simply because there was no previous HG.
I understand that you would take a modern HG if it's all we'll ever get. :P

I hope they do. Despite people preferring ZZ's designs I just like Zeta's better for the most part. I think Unicorn pulls from Zeta's influence a lot for example, also some CCA stuff as well.
The only UC series I don't like something from is ZZ, I just find most of them too bulky. Also doesn't help that a lot of stuff from Zeta transforms so it touches my Macross itch as well.
Depends on the era. If we are talking OYW, the RX-M-SH-008/S-01025 and BOWA-XBR-M-79-07G use lighter composites than the lunar titanium for less strain on the arm motors, synchros and servos as they were designed to be deployed across Gundams, Guncanons and GMs. The RGM*S-Sh-WF/S-0010 shield was sourced from earth based domestic titanium.
They actually came up with an in universe explanation for why they loved blowing up shields so much. Dope.
There's already Zeta Define which is a Origin-esque retelling of Zeta but done by the author of Char's Deleted Affair instead of YAS which is why it doesn't have as high a profile as The Origin
Let's bring back some more "realistic" Gundam like the side story stuff from the Ground Zero manga that's running right now. More GM screen time is always appreciated.
Glad I'm not the only one wanting this. Love me some bulky mechs!
Charles Aznavour (born Shahnour Vaghinag Aznavourian) whose name inspired that of Char Aznable (born Casval Rem Deikun) aka Édouard Mass, aka Quattro Bajeena aka The Red Comet; dies aged 94.

I have to admit I wouldn't know much about the guy if it weren't for Gundam.

The new WALL-G short featuring the Unicorn Gundam Perfectibility
You figure it would be possible, but actually seeing the Armed Armor DEs used as funnels is pure awesome.

This was cool! Do they intend on releasing that online and with the dialog intact? I wanted to hear what the smack talk was about.
Probably not. A Phantom World was the previous special short they showed, and I've yet to see anything better than a camrip of it.
I'm watching AGE again from the beginning because I hate myself and two episodes in and I'm about to make a thread about how god damn awful this is.
Hi! I've watched the original series not to long ago and Gundam Unicorn just dropped on Netflix. I noticed that it's following the original timeline and there's A LOT of series and OVAs between the two. Can anyone please tell me what are the essential stories to go back to before continuing Unicorn?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
