So are there just not as many space colonies anymore? Granted, it's been thousands of years, but it still feels strange.

Yeah, it's 1,000 years on and everything's looking pretty green and full of life going by the concentration of local easily-surprised wildlife around Capital Tower. WickedHate posted:So are there just not as many space colonies anymore? Granted, it's been thousands of years, but it still feels strange. I was wondering the same thing. From what I read in The Origin there's a couple million people up on the orbital colonies in the Universal Century. Did they get screwed over at some point after the original series in Z/ZZ/Victory/whatever, or are we just not meant to know yet?

I was thinking more along the lines of having become unsettled over time, with people gravitating towards the established national coalitions, as opposed to being smoking craters in the ground.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It's South Ameri Considering that map seems to have been made with the fill tool in 30 seconds, it's probably not best to take it too seriously. Like, it's probably more like, "Ameria dominates North America, while the Capital territory is just the northern portion of South America" or something, and someone writing that article went wild with the paint bucket. The straight lines are probably laziness, rather than a hint at some point of history.

I thought in Turn A, it was mentioned that the space colonies left the Sol System due to the Earth being damaged to horrible extents. Perhaps that would explain the lack of space colonies?

Didn't old man Judau eventually leave on one of the space-colonies-turned-generation-ships sometime after Victory? In one of those dodgy sidestory manga.

That is the weirdest map of Australia I've ever seen. Is that from a particular show, the image specificly? The nullabor looks like a river basin.

It's from a one year war "Photojournal". I think it was done by the artist for war in the pocket, as it showcases some of those characters and the art style is the same. Pretty cool book if you can find it.

Since it's mentioned that the UC ended with mankind nearly being wiped out I'm just assuming that like usual some jerk decided to drop a lot of colonies and that's why we haven't seen any yet.

Pretty cool book if you can find it. It's MS ERA, it's an incredibly good book if you can find the 1st edition, since the captions were originally in english. It fills in a ton of background of the world but I'm also a sucker for photojournal stuff in general. They even give short histories of each photographer who took each photo. Some were killed, some went missing, some were broken by the experience. It's a very thorough book. If they ever go back to UC it's the only idea I think I would be receptive to, instead of another rehash with similar themes and plot, do a story about the war photographers who were travelling around.

Obviously various Char clones over the decades and centuries have simply used up the stock of available colonies in ill-advised drop bombardments on the Earth, only to be foiled by various, nameless Gundam protagonists over the years.

Caught up on everything. I really enjoy this show, but I'm confused by a good amount of it. I expect it to be explained eventually, but when they throw out random terms like kuntala without any explanation I feel like I missed something. Anyway, love the animation and characters, can't wait to see how the team forms up.

Eiba posted:(...) Hey, thanks, this is a good post. The rotary phones still bug me though because they're just so utterly user unfriendly. I mean, same kind of "analog" technology would be attainable with actual digital keys, right? But yeah, it wouldn't be so apparent that the technology is "scaled back" if they are indeed old-fashioned for the sake of "minovsky particles". And I suppose a good amount of why they are rotary phones is establishing the setting and the tone of the world. I mean, bipedal vehicles too are kind of unintuitive, but at least they're animated and presented in a manner that makes them actually superbly useful in this setting. edit: I forgot that mechas too are bipedal robots.  I meant the small ones used for traveling.That's what I was basically saying in a wordy manner. v Dessel fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Oct 15, 2014 |

The great thing is, if they've been relying on taboo for defense like that genius ace said, style is a really serious thing. If people imagine rotary phones to be more classy or refined than other designs, then the Capital has good reason to use them. They want to create the impression of being an eternal institution, full of ancient knowledge and sophistication. That's not to say the capital expects foreigners to be looking at their phones, but they've got to live that kind of style to help create that kind of impression. That said, as fun as it is to come up for justifications for these things, a lot of it is just Tomino being Tomino.

Eiba posted:My favorite thing about the hippo is that there's actually a reason you might have wild hippos in northern South America. Nobody knows how many there are. The local environmental authority, which bears responsibility for them, estimates between 50 and 60, with most living in the lake at the park. But 12 are known to have paddled past the flimsy fence and into the nearby Magdalena River - and maybe many more. Haha sick.
