Hahahaha, wow, the writers really did get completely lost this season, and barring some last episode miracle, are limping, tripping, and stumbling across the finish line. That is a really sad outcome for a series that actually had better writing for most of its run than a lot of recent efforts. Sec...

Shino had his helmet off and the Flauros' cockpit was destroyed. Even if he survived the blast, he wouldn't last very long in the vacuum of space. Maybe some of his consciousness uploaded to the Flauros? It would be bittersweet if Yamagi plugged it in to do diagnostics, and somehow the suit kept re...

So I just caught up on the discussion here after the latest episode, and forgive me if this isn't the place for speculation and rambling but I think McGillis's recent actions are explainable and completely consistent with both his long-game and his place in the narrative structure of the show. Ever ...

Episode one is up on GundamInfo for US youtube viewers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVAlkOHdNME I think I may have over-typed my thoughts previously in this thread, so I'm a little hesitant to start discussing this all over again. In brief: it's good, watch it. ^_^ It feels a bit compressed, and...

He's basically a sociopath (at the very least, he's a nihilist.) Without spoiling anything you won't find early in the first volume, he sees the lie that is civilized society. Not only can you get away with killing, you can be applauded and awarded for it - humanity hasn't evolved past violence, an...

I've been hoping this would get an anime adaptation ever since I first started reading it! I'm honestly a little stunned that Bandai would take a chance on this, partially because they usually don't animate the things I actually want them to animate, and also because Iron Blooded Orphans seems to be...

I haven't actually posted here in a long time, but seeing Bernie and Christina cheer on Al (winning with a quite heroic looking mono-eyed machine, of course!) really got me. :P <hiding tears> "Stupid season long Gunpla commercial, I hate you!" Anyway, the new machines all look great (espec...

Another good ep. It was nice to see Al being useful as a pilot rather than the Ptolemaios's GN-ergizer Bunny for a change. From the start Kyrios (and then also Arios) were my favorite suits, and I always thought Allelujah was pretty cool. It's been disappointing to watch him always take a back-seat ...

Except there was no fuel-for-performance trade-off for the Custom Flag in S1. There was a speed-for-safety tradeoff, and Phon Sparks tells us in side-material of an armor-for-power tradeoff, but never once is there any indication of a range-limitation; Ah, you got me a bit. ^_^ The quote I was thin...

I just rewatched the new OP, and you can clearly see the Masurao's and 00 Raiser's GN-particle wake as they slam into each other. Even though it's happens very quickly, Setsuna clearly activates Trans-Am and all the normal TA effects go off; the red glow, the particle flare, etc. What's interesting ...

Also, that's what Mobile Armors are for. The Alvatore was gigantic and mounted tons of weapons, but even with the resources available to him Alejandro Corner still only put one drive on the Alvaaron. I know that was 4 years behind the current technologies, but it seems to me like you get diminishing...

If the ring system is threatened with collapse upon the destruction of Memento Mori that changes the scope of the risk Sumeragi and Katharon were taking considerably - in fact, I don't think either group would be willing to let innocent people all around the world suffer from the loss of the ring. I...

Wow, *that* got a response. Sorry folks. I'm not entirely dense, I just figured I'd post my gripes in case anyone shared them (that way we could share an anonymous internet-wave at each other or something.) I kinda feel like I should apologize. I didn't realise that it came across as a bunch of whin...

I have to say, this was the most disappointing episode of the show so far for me. The action was fine, but so far 00 has managed mostly to be internally consistent about its physics and technology with minimal "it's GN magic!" needed to patch over plot-holes. Cherudim's shield bits simply ...

However in this case it wasn't VEDA who decided to cut the link. Rather VEDA was hacked and made to sever the links with the Gundams instead. Well, I'm not implying that Veda made that particular decision. That point was mostly in response to someone's question "what if the Nadleeh's pilot wen...

Hmmm, should I put "Tsundere for 00" in my sig? Do it. If they're already anticipating the possibility that a Gundam could be stolen, wouldn't it just be even more of a problem if it was Nadleeh's pilot that turned rogue and insta-won by shutting down all of the other Gundams? It seems li...

I always assumed that her artificial hand was prototype technology. The doctors who attempted to regrow it sounded as if there were no alternatives. Since the hand couldn't come from current medical technology, it had to be offered by the Innovators. My take on this is that Livonze (or someone on hi...

Guys, this argument is getting a little repetitive. Saji is not a wuss, there's no way to categorize him as a "wuss." Let's recap: 1. Sister violently murdered for investigating CB 2. Almost killed (along with Louise) by a terrorist attack, witnesses a bus-full of blown-up people 3. Louise...
