Re: What happens between ZZ and CCA?
Which is also ironic considering the stuff he was calling the Titans out on was basically the same stuff he was doing in Char's Counterattack. I think the biggest irony is that, if we take into account the background info in the Zeta novels, Jamitov is pretty much a closet Contolist who's engineere...

Re: Questions about UC Mobile Suits and Ships
But to answer the third question about the Ra Cailum/Clop's operability in Earth, we see the Ra Cailum in Unicorn Episode 4. Apparently they were testing a new Minovsky Craft system. And if a similar system can be installed on the Clop, I guess it too can operate in the atmosphere. Just to add to t...

Re: You know Char's plan in CCA is actually kind of stupid.
I don't think it was ever confirmed if Psychickers were Newtypes. It's been years since I've seen Victory but I do believe there is a scene where the Psychickers were shown where it was pointed out that they seemed drugged or brainwashed. For all we know they could be ordinary people given some form...

Re: Zeon an allegory for japan?
I do think there is some merit to the view that some modern Gundam creators at least seem to subscribe to the 'Zeon as an allegory for Japan' mindset despite (or maybe because of) Tomino's original intent. I definitely think it goes beyond the whole 'Space Nazis are kewl!' aspect, since there is a d...

Re: What happened to the Titan remnants?
I do believe that Haman mentions in ZZ during the Dakar arc that Titan remnants have joined up with Neo Zeon. These are the same episodes where Hizacks and Marasais can be seen in the background with neo Zeon forces IIRC. Anyway, this doesn't preclude most of the Titans getting wiped out by Gryps; i...

Re: Victory Gundam fanatacism
I think people here are selling the good ol' EFSF a little short. While its true that their using outdated MS and equipment, the Victory Gundam EFSF is still a force to be reckoned with. The fleet commanded by General Mubarak Stern that reinforces the League Militaire during the final battle, (made ...

Re: Robotech Masterpice MAIA STERLING VFA-6ZX
As a fellow Maia Sterling and Alpha Fighter fan, I was interested in getting this as well. However, apparently Maia Sterling Alpha had a lot of QC issues, so much so that Toynami actually issues a recall (http://www.robotech.com/news/viewarticle.php?id=383). So sadly, no, I wouldn't recommend gettin...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk I
I'm having a bit of mixed feelings in regards to Gundam Unicorn. On one hand, its new animated UC which is my favourite Gundam universe. On the other hand, I have a feeling that it will share the pet peeve I have with most recent animated UC, which is the increasingly skewed and negative portrayal o...

I've been collecting this manga too (I'm a big Sakura Taisen fan). I think the manga in Japan has only gotten up to volume 8 though. Apparently the magazine where the manga is serialized was cancelled recently, although the manga will continue in another magazine, according to this article ( http://...

Okay, here's a line art comparison. The character on the left is an Axis official from Gundam 0083, and the character on the right is Holst, a Neo Zeon official from Char's Counterattack. Looks like a slam dunk to me. Neat. Looks like my brother and I made quite the little discovery. So the guy's n...

Regarding the Axis Council, while watching Char's Counterattack with my brother (a fellow Gundam nut) recently, he noted that one of Char's more prominent advisers resembles one of the members of the Axis Council. Curious, I checked 0083 episode 9 and sure enough, this gentleman: http://img229.image...

I'd like to point out a minor error earlier on this page... This isn't true. The Federation attacked the space colony from Operation British heavily as it approached Earth, and the units doing this suffered massive losses (Mainly due to the Zeon forces protecting the colony). The best known example...

That's why Revil is awesome. I do agree that Revil is indeed awesome.:D On Spacenoid public opinion: Pre-OYW, spacenoids generally were satisfied to do their own thing. During the OYW, everyone -- and I mean EVERYONE -- hated the Zeons. Even Side 6, who were nominally neutral, weren't on especially...

The colony gassings pretty much originated in Tomino's original MSG Novels and was incorporated into the animated continuity by later official sources. Look here for more information: http://www.ultimatemark.com/gundam/archive.html Particularly the Roman Album 42 section. I found that number (the 2....

I find that hard to believe, especially given how anti-Federation Side 2 was just a few years later, and several years later even hiding Zeons, like Char at sweetwater.

Kirby, Zeon was turned into a puppet state by the Earth Federation, and would continue to be the Federation's puppet until 0087, when it became the Titan's puppet, I hardly believe that is independence, hence why Delaz calls them traitors. The ones who signed the Treaty of Granada sold out their co...
