How dare a Gundam show include a Gundam in it. It's like they think it's the symbol of the franchise or something. And on the franchise's thirtieth anniversary, too! It's like they think this is the thirtieth anniversary of a franchise whose title mecha and most iconic figure was a Gundam. The nerv...

I can't wait to see this! Although it seems from information gathered so far that the centerpiece of this series will be a... Gundam. I know it's called Gundam, but is it that hard to be a little original. I'm tired of the same old Pegasus-Class Warships and Gundam. I'm not complaining, just wishing...

Yes, he was fighting for his country and for independence and all of that fun stuff. I just see him as a talented soldier who had a father who was somewhat of a "Big Whig" and his father strongly believed that the Zabis were conspiring rats. It seems like a plot-hole, something that was j...

They would have to be rolling out about a 1,000 units per month to reach the quota @ just Solomon. Jeesh.

absolute loyalty to zeon perhaps? Maybe, it makes me look at Ramba Ral in a different light. Perhaps Ramba was conspiring against the Zabis the entire time. Maybe that is the real reason he wanted to "walk hand and hand with the Zabis"... Could someone please give me a rational response t...

I think that if the game had top-notch graphics... the anime has always had top-notch animation for its time (besides a few).

And... great gameplay that was fast paced, yet still tactical it would be a smash-hit online. Next Gen and Gundam were meant for each other.

Shadowrun is brilliant. It takes time to get good and actually fully enjoy the game. It's definitely not a "pick up and play" type of game. Shadowrun was awesome when MLG held tourneys for it. However, Game Battles and the MLG Shadowrun Forum are still currently open. They announced that a...

So Mobile Ops: The One Year War isn't coming to NA afterall?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Ops:_The_One_Year_War This game was supposedly announced to come out October 1st, 2007. Then it was pushed back, finally the game was completed and shipped in June 2008 for Japan. Now I was expecting a wait... but I've almost completely given up hope at this point...

If you are into competitive multiplayer shooters. You know, the type that have somewhat of a skill curve and practice eventually pays off. Then I'd go for: Shadowrun or Halo 3 Shadowrun is like Counterstrike on crack. Everyone is familiar with the Halo series. My disclaimer on Gears of War 2: No off...

You took my words slightly out of context. I said that the killing of Deikun loyalists makes me suspect that perhaps they did arrange the death of Zeon Deikun. My question is... how many of these "loyalists" were killed? Were the children ever serious targets? And if the Ral's were such a ...

I don't think that if Casval's revenge was against the wrong people, that it would necessarily make it "weak". However, it would be misguided and put Casval on a more human-like platform. Rarely does he ever come down from his "high horse" throughout MSG, Zeta, or CCA. Yes, I do ...

See for example if we were talking about Good/ Evil for DBZ the conversation would be like this. Yamcha = GOOD Cell = BAD End post. But for MSG the conversation is endless and it's the sign of good anime. Tomino (among some others) have created a vast spectrum of "Good" to "Evil"...

The exact nature of beam weaponry depends on the universe. In UC, they're mega particles -- which are highly energized Minovsky particles (which are themselves a new type of subatomic particle created by the Minovsky-Ionesco fusion reaction). 00 is similar to UC, but replace "Minovsky" wi...

It's a interesting concept, beam weaponry. It would be traveling at or close to the speed of light (3e8 m/s) and I think that this would dissipate at some sort of rate. Although it depends where you are at... Space, Land, or Water (which I think is ridiculous). Isn't theoretical beam weaponry in gun...

Agreed.

But anyone who was bleeding by the mouth with glory and hunger. I personally would not enter the cockpit with. You know the scene at the beginning of episode 12 "Shuddering Mountain pt. 2."

I remember the "Oh no! 5 minutes until Planet Namek explodes" taking about 15 episodes. The filler is what made DBZ. I'm interested to see it without. But... the long build up to each fight made it seem more worthwhile as a series. The Saiyan, Namek, Ginyu, and Freeza Saga were my favorite...

A question about Ginias, I know that he's an adult and all. But don't you think Aina or Norris or someone close to him would have done something to prevent his downward spiral. His issues could have been avoided if he had taken his meds. I know that loved ones can't always be responsible, there was ...
