Re: New Macross TV series in 2018

I'm excited for another Macross show that tugs at my heartstrings again with love triangles and pop music and is actually good.

Re: Let's talk Five Star Stories

There aren't good summaries anywhere on the net, and I'm afraid I can't summarise them too precisely yet as I'm still on the second arc (Clotho, the Sleeping Witch). In short: Act 1: Destiny Three Fates -Part 1: Lachesis Volume: 1 Shows how Lachesis was presented for her Fatima inauguration on the p...

Re: Let's talk Five Star Stories

I've only ever seen the OVA and read the first volume, but I dig it. I really wish some Western publisher would put it back in print (and more affordably, this time). I think Vertical would be perfect for a release. The problem, however, is that Mamoru Nagano is, to put it lightly, a bit of a contr...

Let's talk Five Star Stories

So the last post I can find about FSS was in 2013 and with the Gears Online forums down, this is a good place for FSS fans and mecha fans to maybe have an ongoing FSS-related discussion? I'm not up to date on the latest happenings. I recently managed to get a hold of all 12 of the original run tanko...

Re: #ExVsTheGundamnation! - Gundam Extreme Vs. Full Boost Ni

Hey! So I've recently got a PS3 with ExVS:Full Boost! Excitement! However, the times for #exvsthegundamnation are... well, not very EU friendly, as it's 4am on a school night. Ouch! With that in mind, I want to gauge interest: Are there enough people interested in organising a UK/EU-friendly time fo...

I just wanted to chime in to add to the gratitude. Mark's contributions were what drove me to join Mechatalk in the first place, as well as the discussion and thoughts others put in around it. So, I really appreciate this :)

E08: Where in that would you suggest fitting in the TV show? The movie clearly goes at the very end, of course.

Tackling the Gundam 00 side stories

Alright, so after AGE is over, I want to re-watch 00, which I have only seen all the way through once, when it was airing. This time though, I want a fuller experience, and I'm really intrigued by the side stories, 00V, 00I and 00P (first question: are there any more than those three?). So I have a ...

Re: Avengers film 2012

I have no words. I'm not a massive fan of the Avengers, and I was very resistant to even the idea of Iron Man movies at first. But I'm sold. And I'm a bit of a Whedon fan, and the film had a lot of his signature moments, as well as good, quality writing. I am frankly amazed at the fact every charact...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread Mk III

That's pretty much the only problem I have with the show. Because they're cramming 3 different generations into one series, they have to speed up the level of technological advancement to an absurd pace. You get to all the action quicker, but you lose the subtlety and buildup of the other shows. Ye...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Mecha Thread Mk I

The more I look at pictures of the AGE-2 the more I fall in love with it. That is one gorgeous design. I'm not too sold on the transformation, but I commend it for not being yet another Waverider (as it's been pointed out, it's more of a Flag). I felt the AGE-1 was really generic, so seeing Ebikawa ...

For the Barrel - What it was, and what it tried to do.

So, I'm making this thread for discussion of 'For the Barrel', a re-imagining of the original Mobile Suit Gundam. I'm a bit disappointed it never became anything past, apparently, a first published novel. I don't know who did the character designs, but they certainly remind me of Mamoru Nagano's mos...
