Good work on this episode, guys. Do I remember you guys saying 0083 had a director change or something to that effect? I didn't know that happened in this case also.
I really like this series for its mechanical design and action. The Zephyranthes and Physalis were actually designed by Shoji Kawamori if I am remembering things right. They're very unique. And the GP03 Stamen is actually one of my favorite Gundams. I don't like the Dendrobium as much. It's easy to like hyper-destructive power, but sometimes it's what's on the inside that counts. Tail binders and panoramic cockpits are awesome. (And have you seen the Stamen strut its stuff in Gundam VS Gundam? Holy crap!) It's just really sad that we never literally see it in action. I nearly crap my pants when I saw the Stamen fighting the Neue Ziel by itself in the 2nd OP, though. Oh, and GM Customs are the best GMs.
I haven't seen Victory yet, so I am looking forward to the next show. I'm interested in the technology most of all (Minovsky Craft and Drive) but that's not usually the kind of stuff you guys usually get into. Oh well.
And you all should get Armored Core for Answer so we can play online together. We'll team up and have a Mechatalk Squadron!! I know some of you don't have PS3s, but 360s, but it'll be fun to give it a shot anyway. The game is great.
Ah, and the
