Srice posted:I've never understood the Cima love. The stuff that's supposed to make her interesting is buried deep in side material instead of the show itself. Cima is visually interesting and somewhat of a novel character. She's a hardass semi-independent Zeon commander and mobile suit ace who is a lady and also has a weird leopard print throne on her bridge and her crew members dress in stuff like cutoff sleeves. Even without the side materials explaining her backstory, there's a definite "huh, what's up with this lady?" trigger that basically no other characters in the show have because most of them are pretty generic. Unfortunately, they never bother to do any of that explaining in the show itself.

More importantly, she almost single-handedly saves the day before being stopped by te heroes loving everything up.

Arcsquad12 posted:SOUTH BURNING. Seriously, the guy is awesome, and he tries (in vain) to make Kou a better soldier and is actually smart. Burning and Cima were the true heroes with Gato in the less crazy moments of 0083. I still think it has the best opening of the UC Gundam stuff. It's the bit with the beat at the start that always makes me smile. Also, gently caress you Monsha you loving creep. I like Mondo better than you. Mondo just dressed weirdly and couldn't do things, at least he wasn't an abusive sex offender.

Captain Invictus posted:Question: I remember there being a list of the absolutely insane things the Turn A Gundam can do somewhere, but I can't find it. Stuff like regenerate a dead pilot, that sort of thing. Would anyone have a link or can copy/paste the list here? Zorak posted:Rumor was that Tomino had considered doing a Turn A sequel involving the spacenoids who left Earth and sent the Turn X back to the Moon millenia ago, but that never came to pass.

Of course it bears repeating that the true scale of the Turns' power isn't strictly relevant to the show itself, but rather provides some context after-the-fact illustrating just how out of their depth the people of both the Earth and Moon were with regards to meddling with powers they didn't truly understand. Also "Gundam as an ancient and powerful relic in the hands of the ignorant" can't be anything but a statement about the franchise as a whole.

Srice posted:It's a design that stands out but characterization-wise I felt the same way about her as I did most of the cast. I think most people would agree with you. It's not so much an opinion that Cima is good and cool in 0083 - because outside of the music and animation not much is good and cool in it - it's more that a show exploring what little we did get of her backstory and focused on her character that we saw in the side materials would be better than Kou running out of a room crying with his eyes shut for the 20th time.

0083 would have been a million times better Burning was the main character and Kou and Nina weren't in it

Yet Another Crossbone Series was announced: Crossbone Dust. This one's set to take place post-Victory in UC 168, so Hasegawa's finally going past Late UC entirely. We might get to see Adult Uso and Shakti? Also the Crossbone Gundam is now a transforming mobile suit. I don't even begin to understand how the legs got to where the arms were. It's technically an offshoot of of an offshoot of the Crossbone called the Ghost Gundam, but it's basically just a Crossbone with a bastardized Minovsky Drive so close enough.

Don't worry, BlitzBlast. You are not the only one going over that transformation. Like, I want this to get a model kit just for the sole purpose of explaining the Spread Eagle Flight Mode transformation process in a coherent manner.

My best guess is that the waist unhooked from the main body and flipped over to connect into the backpack, but the backpack is so bulky I have no idea how the legs and side skirt armor could have gotten so far forward. And for that matter, how the Minovsky Drives somehow ended up near the bottom of the torso pointing in a completely different direction.

It's a partsformer, just so its eventual model kits can have a canon-accurate transformation without giving the engineers and builders headaches.

Crossbone is the forest gump Gundam. Pretty soon we should get a sidestory manga about that time it showed up to fight the Devil Gundam.

I know a lot of you guys dislike his designs but I think that katoki's redesigns of the crossbone mobile suits are an improvement over the gaudy art style of the Manga.

The art style of the manga is completely horrible. The fanart the artist did for Gundam SEED is the only time I've seen the characters look worse than their original art.

Gyra_Solune posted:so how is Gundam Unicorn For TV compared to the...not-that version. apparently some stuff is re-done?? I haven't watched it but what I have heard from others is that some of the new scenes are helpful but the pacing gets weird because they shift a few things around to accommodate tv episode length instead of having complete freedom with runtime? Probably not worth watching right now when you have the entire OVA available but maybe once the tv run wraps up it will be the better version. I figure at least it's a free legal option for folks to see the series instead of having to digitally rent it for a price, so that's neat.

It's an AC, or 'Amida Custom', and the colour scheme isn't that far off from her Hyakuren, give or take a bit of manga colour screwiness. Prequel, maybe? We might find out how she got that scar.

Lemon-Lime posted:The fedora makes it look like it leaked over from G Gundam. There's a Fedora suit in one of the Crossbone sequels too. I like them both. That said, it certainly looks out of place next to most suits from IBO due to the colours if nothing else. Then again, several of the characters are completely stupid looking in IBO too. Mostly Kudal and the other guy from Brewers.
