I remember the idea. Kinetic Kill Weapons. As long as they survive the reentry into the atmosphere...you could arm a missle with thousands of expanding rods. As long as you have the volume or mass and speed/energy....WHAMMO. Flat city. Jerry Pournelle, Niven, so many others played with the idea. Hei...

Wasn't the Ghost AI based on Sharron in the first place? So it was like her telling herself to do something?

Right now, the manga "Gundam: The Origin" is the best rendition of this you can find. If you can find it. Viz cancelled the line years ago, but there are copies of it on Amazon still up for grabs. Plus, it is an awesome read. Hope you can check it out I remember those! :D I actually have ...

I'd love to see a redo of the original but with MS08 Mecha designs. Less flying merging weirdness and a tighter military story. Maybe a touch on the plot from the books in a recon-retelling.

No, that dub should never be acknowledged because it's a vile abortion of dubbing. Bad casting aside, how could you watch a dub where they refer to Zeon as "roboton invaders" and throw in a bunch of Star Trek terms and other inaccuracies, aside from a very loose adaptation of the dialogue...

Howdy folks, Mostlyjoe here. Long time Mecha fan and Florida fella. I've been watching Mecha shows since my days in Japan back in 1978~ (military brat). I was there when Gundam, GoLion, GodSigma, among others first aired. Then I moved to America...in the 80's. Robotech (not even going there) and Vol...

Damn, now you make me feel old. Howdy folks, new listener. I was in Japan at the time Gundam first game out. I kept wanting to watch it and had to import copies back before the 90's Anime golden age here in America. Still proud of my old art books.

As a local, I laughed at the 4:00 parade line.
