A lot of it is just loosely going through UC events in a drunken haze anyhow! So it's appropriate.

The next Heavy Arms will be a giant missile. That explodes into a bunch of tiny Heavy Arms. Who are also missiles.

Well if they want to get really dumb then Heavy Arms will just use Trowa as a missile. Star Driver style.

Not to mention this is from roughly the same era as beam helicopters, motorads, motorcycle battleships, and a mobile suit with wing sabers.

I love the V2 but the V2 Assault Buster has a shield with a big V on it and I'm pretty sure it can shoot out a V-shaped beam.

I should have been more specific: The Crossbone Gundams themselves are some of the best Gundam designs in my opinion. This new green thing does not measure up to it's predecessors. And while there are a lot of very strange designs in Crossbone overall I still think the Batara is one of the best enemy grunt suits in the whole franchise. p.s. V2 is one of the best Gundams ever so no bad mouthing of it or it's other forms will be tolerated .*edit= Spelling is hard.* Dol fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Jun 20, 2013 |

Yeah the Crossbones are probably some of my favorite Gundam designs. Except for the X-3. Its I-Field generators make it cool but everything else is kinda uninteresting to me.

Besides, the Gouf is the best mobile suit. The Taurus is a close second and the best AC MS.

I think my favorite thing about Tallgeese is how no-frills it was. It's just like, "Ok, Give it a dober gun, a beamsaber, a shield...Now throw on a vernier booster so fast it'll most likely kill it's pilot."

Dred Cosmonaut posted:"COLONEL ZECHS, IM GONNA PILOT THIS MOTHERFUCKER SO HARD I DIE" Tallgeese is a Real American Mobile Suit and Otto a Real American Hero. The Overflag is basically the Tallgeese of 00, so it owns as well. Being piloted by a crazy motherfucker helps, too.

Tomino had some stuff to say in Yomiuri Shimbun and someone on /m/ translated it.The growth of the post-Gundam otaku anime market posted:The representative work of the genre of youths being drawn into near-future wars fought with giant robots, Mobile Suit Gundam (1979-1980), was filled with deep and esoteric dialogue and complex relationships, and as a result was popular not with the original target group of anime, elementary schoolers, but by older people; Middle schoolers and above. As a result, it is frequently referred to as an "anime for adults", but Mr Tomino says that it is "the exact opposite. Children came first.". What was important was the message: "Things that, as adults, we have to tell children, have to have them remember."

While he might have been the creator of Gundam, Gundam is less a specific series now and more of a subgenre of war anime at this point. He already made his personal "New Gundam to serve as an antithesis to everything else Gundam up till now" - it was called Turn A Gundam and it was very good. That was his love letter/farewell to his opus, but just because Tomino is done telling stories using the Gundam framework doesn't mean other people need to be, really. Yeah, we get dogshit like SEED Destiny and AGE out of it, but we also get things like Astray and Unicorn. I guess I kind of view his negative opinions on modern Gundam productions like if the guy who invented the JRPG got annoyed that people are still making JRPGs even though he personally is "done" with them.

Turn-A is pretty much what I had in mind when I wrote that, in terms of what I'd like to see him give us, not what I wouldn't. While I suppose he was screwing over Bandai merchandise wise, he didn't seem like he was in a particularly angry place or trying to give out to anyone, more that it was just the way the cards fell that people didn't like the designs rather than that he deliberately set out to find someone who'd submit designs that wouldn't sell.

You do realize half of the design decisions were deliberately "Haha gently caress you Sunrise" right? The whole black and effeminate male protagonist was because they wouldn't let him have a female one? Tomino is capable of sticking them up one without going "grimdark" or whatever. He's not trying to make an anime that nobody would like or whatever the hell; that's not what he was saying. He's saying he wants something that bucks trends and inspires people to think about things and not just be a pure self-insertion fantasy / wank or whatever. Turn A is pretty much that.
