I might try a couple more episodes, but so far I've been pretty disappointed. I was hoping for a show that would somewhat break the status quo in tropes, but so far all I've gotten are a misunderstood young invincible hero, helpless women who flock into the arms of the hero, shady supervillains that...

Although that name is kinda funky, especially when you have other characters with names like Gaius Julius Caesar and Leonardo da Vinci. Why throw a random Japanese name into the middle of Jeanne d'Arc? Because Nihon Banzai. I watched the first episode and I liked what I saw. Hopefully the fact that...

I thought I'd post here so anyone on the fence about whether or not to pick up the series might get an overview from another angle. My verdict? Try it. I enjoyed it. The humor was welcomed, and even though it wasn't packed with laugh out loud scenes but I still had a smile on my face throughout. Def...

Man I wish Chris had mod powers over on Animesuki cause now TetraVaal has shown up over there with the exact same schtick and style of non-contributive posting. At the very least there hasn't been any misogyny yet. ... All this bickering reminds me of the scene from Family Guy ..... http://www.fami...

I'd love to see how this turns out. Personally, I don't like the art style, but it has been mentioned before that Bandai and Sunrise need to capture larger audiences, and I 100% agree with that. If Gundam can be successful in luring kids, then I have no doubt they would have more success in the Unit...

This has already been said a thousand times before in discussions about Minmay and Kaifun, but I'll throw it out there once again: not every culture in the world has the same conception as the West that cousins being involved is incestuous. Keep that in mind when watching something that is obviousl...

yeah Lin Kaifun sounded American, I know. Ah Lyn Kaifun. I've learned to quickly hate this ZOINKS. It's not that he's a pacifist in the complete wrong, but that he's a pacifist who's a ZOINKS about his beliefs. Also he's kind of a freak. It seems pretty clear that he's got a thing for Minmay but ar...

I really enjoyed the movie. Only thing I can say is that it isn't Gundam. The lack of moral ambiguity and the aliens, if anyone for whatever reason still doesn't know , just scream "Not Gundam!" so if anyone goes in expecting Gundam you will be sorely disappointed. Can we please not get i...

First a question with Zeta Gundam overall, when Hayato is sent over to the the Audhumla the Valkyrie Plane flies away meaning that there is another pilot on board. Is this correct? (Lame Question I know) Lame answer, but Zeta is full of anonymous pilots and such that I wouldn't be surprised if what...

We're just going to have to disagree on that. There are some cases - maybe even the majority - where it doesn't really matter who wins, or where both parties are on a similar ethical level. (For example, speaking as a Brit, I'd say the stakes in the Falklands war were pretty darned low.) But honest...

I really enjoyed the movie. Only thing I can say is that it isn't Gundam. The lack of moral ambiguity and the aliens, if anyone for whatever reason still doesn't know , just scream "Not Gundam!" so if anyone goes in expecting Gundam you will be sorely disappointed. That being said however,...

PSP ports of the metal slug anthology and metal slug XX The PSP port has horrible lag compared to the PS2 version. The Wii version of MS: Anthology was rather enjoyable. The motion controls sucked but playing with a regular controller was great. I'm currently playing FF:X-2. Next up: FF:XII and aft...

I always felt in the original the zeon were bad with a few good guys, but later series in the UC do create a gray area. Especially the newly released unicorn. Seed and Seed destiny was a really gray one to me too. I never new whether to root for orb, zaft, or the federation. The way I determined wa...

You can try running Mac as an emulator on your PC. A quick google shows

And I know Mac is just a Unix shell. I don't know if you can but you might be able to run it with Linux? Probably not now that I think about it...

Why are Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny such a "love it or hate it" series among American Gundam Fans? In Japan, it pretty much revitalized the frachise which had been in something of decline in the late 90s and is still pretty popular there to this day, while in America for the most part, i...

You know they are just cranking out the hype machine when they announce an announcement in 3 months on a project that will probably come out in a year or more after that. I'm probably going to forget all about this for now and be totally surprised when I find out in September of next year.

playing vanquish, it is so bad its good, everything about it plays all the western cliches to the point that i can't tell if its a parody or not, the sliding mechanic is interesting though, plus i find it awesome that the melee attack for your suit of powered armour is essentally the god finger (co...

One of Paptimus Scirocco's abilities as a Newtype was charm. Throughout the anime, several instances alluded to the fact that Reccoa was attracted to Scirocco and switched sides to be with Scirocco. And designers sometimes design characters who are hypocritical and made for viewers to hate. If I wer...

I honestly don't give a crap about what's in the next Gundam series. As long as it is likable in any ways. Screw fans, screw critics, make anime. Done. But hell, in the end all the animators do make the stuff for us and Japan, and they do need to take into account what everybody wants if they want t...

I'll drop the attitude when you decide to do the same. I'm still fairly new and have just introduced myself to the Gundam franchise. Surely if you used logic, you could understand why I'd possibly not go out of my way to look for a thread already discussing Gundam 00, and end up making a thread to ...
