I managed to finish Mobile Suit Gundam today. I was zoning out during the first two movies but it really came together in that last one. That last battle was really violent, I wasn't really expecting that after Gundam Wing, especially Char's headshot I'll move onto Zeta in a little bit, I accidentally spoiled Dublin and everything that happens there because they flew to Belfast and I looked up if the rest of the country was featured in a show, oops.

Unlike the original series they cut out way too much and have a completely different ending

So is there a way to buy the Unicorn Blu-rays with both the dub and sub? I can't seem to find them anywhere - or some places just have only a couple of them. For example, would this (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mint-Mobile...CAAAOSwg3FUo4mp) be the set I'm looking for? unpurposed fucked around with this message at 03:13 on Jan 9, 2016 |

Universal Century devolved into cannibalism because Bright wasn't around to keep everyone in check. He had more important things to do than riding the rainbow.

All the Unicorn BRs had both English dubs and sub on them regardless of where they were sold, only the text on the case was different. So you can buy them from overseas if you can't find them here. The set you linked was the Japanese limited editions, which cost more for a slipcase with different art over the same BR case as the regular editions.

Trying to get through Gundam SEED due to losing a bet, 30 episodes in. Urgh. I think what's getting me more then the stuff that sucks is that the show keeps coming close to being good only to throw it all away. Kira is such a horrible black hole of a character that he drags down and ruins even the more likeable and interesting cast members when they're stuck in scenes with him.

Just finished episode 24 of Victory, nobody has died in a while. Got a sense of slowly building impending doom.

So a guy I know posted some pics which I guess are endings for the game Gihren's Greed. Char/Casval and Sayla/whatever her real name is take over Zeon. vs. Garma takes over Zeon. It just made me curious, which would have been better for the UC? I would assume Deikun's kids restore Zeon to its more democratic or republican government but loving Char is still a major player. On the other hand, I would assume Garma continues the Zabi dictatorship but we know Garma is actually a good person and would not be another Gihren and kill billions of people.

All Char really cared about is newtypes, and at least Sayla's a half-decent person. Any Zabi comes with the baggage of the entire family infighting with eachother and he'd have a lifespan of however long it took before conflicting with Kycilia or Gihren's own plans.

Any Zabi comes with the baggage of the entire family infighting with eachother and he'd have a lifespan of however long it took before conflicting with Kycilia or Gihren's own plans. It depends on Char I think. If Char allies with Sayla but doesn't get over his own issues he's a pretty terrible choice. He is a giant rear end in a top hat at the best of times and a total sociopath at the worst. Sayla can temper him somewhat but it basically depends on nothing bad enough to bring the true shitlord Char back which is a pretty big if. In comparison Garma getting over himself actually could do a lot of good for the world but it involves Garma getting over himself. The games where Garma actually becomes a non-poo poo generally portray it as a somewhat positive situation. The shot there is basically "all the non-poo poo Zabis plus Garma hooks up with an Earthnoid." The 'best' situation would actually be Char AND Garma teaming up because the two of them (intentionally) can temper one another's strengths and faults. Which is why part of the big tragedy of the OYW is Char killing Garma.

That Garma screen is pretty great since from what I recall, it's a faction that arises when you (Ghiren) play your "massive shithead" hand too early and flagrantly.

Emma and Reccoa, specifically? Oh and do you like Quattro any more than Char or about the same? Sorry to bombard you with questions, it's just rare that I meet a newcomer to Zeta. I only saw it for the first time about two years ago now myself.

NikkolasKing posted:Did you like Jerid's little insanity mantra? Despite how much I disliked him when he first showed up (especially how he acted towards Kamille right after killing his mom) I'm enjoying Jerid. He already seems very human and his mantra while pushing his way onto the shuttle added to it. I like the AEUG crew too, reminds me a little of the White Base dynamic but still different enough. Emma's cool but I feel like I haven't seen enough of Reccoa to really have an opinion of her. She played well off of Kai, though. At the moment I like Quattro. I just finished reading The Origin and it's nice to not see him in a state where he's actively screwing everybody over all the time unless he's got some ulterior motive here. I like whenever he helps out my man Kamille with the robot fights.

Well...you might want to try and desensitize yourself about Katz. He's gonna be sticking around. Glad to hear you like Emma. She's one of the best ladies in all Gundam. And yeah I forgot you haven't seen much of Reccoa yet. Speaking of ladies though, you're approaching the Hong Kong Arc which has another favorite Gundam female of mine in it.

And not because of any personality flaws, he just simply wasn't that good of a strategist/fighter/whatever. I remember him actually acknowledging the nepotism that got him as far as he had before he died, and one of his big motivations is trying to prove he's good enough.

Yep, he's the sole Zabi who suffers from a lack of confidence rather than an abundance of it. As I said, he's a legitimately good person who just wants to make his family proud while not overstepping himself. He could easily just coast given his birth but he'd rather be out there, showing others he deserves this. I found it interesting he seemed especially attached to Kycillia. I wonder if she cared anything for him. Pureauthor posted:Dozle looks so proud in that picture. I love this pic for a lot of reasons and Dozle's big grin is one of them.

Neddy Seagoon posted:All Char really cared about is newtypes By the end of First Gundam he's going on insane rants about wanting newtypes to replace oldtypes as the dominant species. Char in charge of Zeon would be terrible, they'd just start another war against the Federation within a decade. (That said, he might be less insane if Zeon wins the war early and he doesn't spend it getting his rear end kicked by Amuro while murdering the Zabi.)

I think we know that Char and Sayla are just the figureheads in that picture with Ramba Ral being the true power behind the throne. Also I've always wondered if Sayla revealing her true past would have helped temper some of the Zeon rebellions that occurred after the One Year War.

She does in The Origin (she's instrumental in the victory at Solomon, because she breaks into the fortress and starts a civil war between the Deikun and Zabi factions), so I guess we'll find out what Bandai thinks if they do a Zeta retelling like they were planning to at one point.
