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.I like the dub because it is most of the G Gundam people. Only they do a much worse job.
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.Kamille's voice is kind of iffy. Less so the acting, and more that the actual sound of his voice makes him seem a lot whinier than he's supposed to be. I remember Sarah and Rosamia's voices being pretty weak as well.
I like the Crossbone Gundam but I love the F91 design much more.

P.S. If anyone is looking to sell their MSV option set for the Metal Build F91lets talk.
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).
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!

I love that film and have only rented it so I'm going to enter in the contest:
I've ordered nearly two dozen gunpla since last September thanks to the VS release and my little three year old (two back then) took a liking to it so I bought him the Gundam RX-78-2 action figure (less small parts) for x-mas to play with.
Turns out the ball joints were too loose and all 4 limbs came off with ease. So I drilled through it, added a threaded rod through the shoulders of each arm and chest cavity and added nuts to keep the arms on but allow movement.
Turns out, it just wasn't play proof anyway lol:
His SD Gundam Heavyarms (his favorite) didn't fare any better but that's only because my oldest stepped on it =/.
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.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!
whaaaaa?! Finally.It's years after it should've been but man I'm so excited that the V2 AB pack is finally getting its MG release. Finally get to complete one of my favorite MS
It's P-Bandai so, as far as I'm concerned, it might as well not exist.It's years after it should've been but man I'm so excited that the V2 AB pack is finally getting its MG release. Finally get to complete one of my favorite MS
B&N usually has a limited but usually solid selection whenever I find myself in one for whatever reason.Found a F91 v2.0 at the local B&N for just a bit over retail. Don't usually buy kits in person but this was a fairly recent one and I've never done anything from that era so picked it up.
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.B&N usually has a limited but usually solid selection whenever I find myself in one for whatever reason.
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.The Byarlant scene in Unicorn is so fuckin' rad.

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.Byarlant Custom is one of my favorite designs ever. Shame it only ever got a HG kit.
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.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.
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.They'll probably remake or do a side project of Zeta in the next decade or two and use that as an opportunity to make some better gunpla.
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.I'm not a huge fan of most UC designs after the original MSG but the ones I do like are mainly in Zeta.
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.Why aren't Gundam shields made out of the same stuff the Gundam is made up of?

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 OriginThey'll probably remake or do a side project of Zeta in the next decade or two and use that as an opportunity to make some better gunpla.
The Gustav has me all kinds of excited. He damn well better not be a P-Bandai kit like those ZZ ones probably are.
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.
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.
