Arcsquad12 posted:I find it ridiculous how Kou rationalizes helping rebuild a Zeon Mobile Armor because he feels pity for a bitter man who had to stop being a pilot. Yeah, great rationale for building a weapon that could potentially slaughter thousands. My headcanon for this is that Kou, being an idiot, didn't realize what he was helping Kelly rebuild because Kelly kept fobbing him off with the excuse that it was actually just a really big sports car.

I've always wanted to know what Amuro or Char would have thought about all the dumb things Kou did. Did the Super Robot Wars games ever cover that?

There's never been a SRW game with 0083 where 0083 wasn't also included alongside other UC entries, so typically the events of 0083 occur with other Gundam and other mecha show characters present during the actual events of 0083 and events are substantially altered. Like it's hard to get mad at Kou for letting them jack the GP02 when Gato was backed up by Char and some super robot villains also happened to show up or whatever. Most of the time the Gundam cast is focused on being completely flabbergasted that they built a loving nuke-launching Gundam.

SeanBeansShako posted:So Kou as a character in those spin off games is actually improved? It varies heavily from entry to entry in the franchise. Kou is usually a mediocre pilot who is mechanically inferior to every newtype pilot and generally loses his seat to any given extra Newtype you happen to have hanging around, and the 0083 plot literally always takes place alongside other major Gundam events in SRW so Kou never really grabs the spotlight plot-wise. He's a friendly enough background character in the games.

Keeping Kou in the background might be the safest thing to do yes.

Well I finished 0083. It's not terrible, just severely flawed. I freely admit those last three episodes are an absolute mess. But I loved the ending's black humor. Bask Om giving a speech about forming the Titans and making a bright future for mankind while uplifting music plays was a nice touch. Monsha is the perfect candidate for the Titan ranks. But the plot just took a bizarre nosedive. The Axis Zeon fleet just waited around and did nothing. I figured they were waiting to see if Delaz could pull it off before engaging, but then the Luna fleet contacts them and tells them to piss off as per an agreement? Was that part of Cima's plan as well? And while we're at it, Cima's plot was out of left field. Now I know from looking it up that she held a grudge against the higher ups in Zeon for lying to her about the gas attacks she took part in, but that is never mentioned in the show, so it just seems like she double crosses Delaz for shits and giggles. And then there is Nina and Gato and Kou. So first, Nina shoots at Kou and locks him in the control room, but then the next scene Kou made it back to unit 3 without trouble and escaped. And then he fights with Gato, and both mobile armors take a 25% shot from a solar array without barely a scratch. Nevermind Nina going to the axis fleet and then jumping back to earth. Everyone's motivations made no drat sense by the end of it all. And they all seemed pretty chipper despite the American midwest being annihilated and the whole planet facing imminent starvation. So it isn't terrible, but the leads are weak, the plot ends poorly like 08th MS Team, and I ended up more confused than anything else. But it's a far cry from AGE.

I kind of want to see an SRW where post-0083 Kou just says "gently caress it" and joins the Titans. Have him be an enemy ace during the Zeta plotline or something.

Gundam The Origin's animated adaptation will continue past the fourth episode with a new arc about the Battle of Loum in 2017. It's all great material and Sunrise would be mad to not keep making easy money out of this, so I am certainly not complaining.

Dangerous Person posted:Preview of the IBO dub: Some of the voices like Kudelia's and Fumitan's are okay, McGillis' voice isn't quite deep enough but he's otherwise fine. Johnny Young Bosch is just waaaay off for Orga though. His voice comes off too casual when it should be more firm and authorative. The question he asks in that clip comes off as a general question instead of "You know exactly who you're tossing us out against, don't you, you fuckers?  "

Now I know from looking it up that she held a grudge against the higher ups in Zeon for lying to her about the gas attacks she took part in, but that is never mentioned in the show, so it just seems like she double crosses Delaz for shits and giggles. Cima has a whole bunch of backstory that comes from an audio drama and is required for understanding her actions in 0083. In short: she and her unit were ordered to pacify a colony cylinder with gas, weren't told what the gas was, and assumed it would be some kind of less than lethal gas; instead, it was nerve gas. Then, Gihren Zabi used her home colony as the colony laser, and after the OYW, her commanding officer used her as a scapegoat for a bunch of warcrimes he'd ordered, which meant she wasn't allowed to take refuge on Axis, and instead her and her men were forced to become a pirate fleet operating in Federation space. The end result is that Cima turned anti-Zeon after the OYW ended, which is why she meets up with Admiral Wyatt on the Birmingham in episode 8 to negotiate changing sides. Part of that agreement was that she wouldn't interfere on Zeon's side in the big anti-Delaz operation at the end of the show. As for them being chipper, it's UC, everyone's seen way worse than "Zeon dropped an empty colony in the middle of nowhere in North America with zero direct casualties," that's going to be a win in a lot of people's books.

Just watched the first few Origin films, made me fall for Ramba Ral all over again. I just got Gunpla Breaker for PS4. I'd just like to confirm again, if I play on my normal account, will I be able to use DLC from another account, ie the HK one I make for the purpose?

I'll also say that the last stand of the delaz fleet was pretty memorable. Not exactly sympathy I felt, since these were the hardliners zeon fanatics with all that entails, but they still managed to humanize them in a way I appreciated. Fanatical, terrible even, but still relatable.

While I think it is a bit eyerolling how people recoil just from making eye contact with Char, it does a drat good job of painting him as a complete bastard. At times it feels like Garma is the main character and Char is just the antagonist playing him like a fiddle. Really, really looking forward to the Battle of Loum episode(s).

Did this new episode have anything as hilarious as kirk thorntons ridiculously overblown narration of the preview trailers for the origin? "The next chapter in the CONTROVERSIAL re-imagining of mobile suit Gundam!" I'm like, dude, as far as scandals go, this is about as controversial as Gundam seed being a bit poo poo as retellings go.

Doing it in chronological order is better anyway, otherwise it'd wind up like the manga where it just slams the breaks at Jaburo for a four-volume flashback halfway through the story. It's well-told and all, just should've been at the start from the get-go or maybe it's own prequel thing.
