In the meantime, I've been watching 08th MS Team with subtitles. My first impressions are that, wow, the dub team did quite an accurate job translating the dialogue to english. Aside from a few simplifications, the two audio tracks are identical. Second, Shiro and Karen sound waaaay better in Japanese. Now, I liked Karen's VA in the english dub, but the Japanese Karen's sarcasm is so dry she leaves the english one yelling in the distance.

As for Shiro, I was never a fan of Steve Staley and his forced edginess voice. Japanese Shiro sounds like he could snap at any time and it's great. As for the rest of them, I'm ambivalent. I like English Elodore and Sanders better, and I have no strong opinion on Michel. Because gently caress Michel.

And just on a general note, thank god the Gundam franchise realizes there is more to the world than just Japan. I love the multinational nature of the casts.

You should watch his 40 minute video on why the Destiny is a garbage MS design for maximum laughs. Granted, he brings up great points but they're almost made moot by his ego.

You can disagree with them, but it's pretty stuck up to think that anybody that liked Unicorn was tricked into doing so.

lmao it's not "stuck up" to acknowledge that a work is doing the time honored entertainment industry thing of heavy misdirection to cover bad writing. Do you think Unicorn is the first time that a work presented itself as having depth and then used explosions to hide that that was a lie?

Off-topic, but all this talk about Gundam OVAs and stuff reminded me of how much I love F91. I can't even give a good explanation why, there's just something about it that resonates with me.

Really wish it had gotten a real ending. Crossbone isn't very good at following F91 (Cecily is an entirely different, much worse character, among other things).

those last two episodes are so god drat exhausting. it was very very good, but god drat. i hear ZZ is very diversive, but that is suppose to be light right? I need something light.

ZZ starts light and stays that way for a while. Then the Universal Century readjusts itself, sets its sights on Judau Ashta, and tries to gently caress over his life too.




But Judau doesn't get pushed around too easily.:getin:

In a perfect world I'd love to see a remastered dub for ZZ that brings back the 0079 Bright, just so he can be exasperated the whole time. But at the same time, animax Judau is amazing. I mean it, I think that he's legitimately good from what I've heard. He might sound like a thirty year old man in a 16 year old body, but the voice actor really puts everything into making Judau the angriest motherfucker in the solar system.

That sounds good. I just want to be happy again.

Despite the anticlimactic nature of it and him being my favorite character, Jerid's death wasn't the one that hit me the hardest, it was a good way for him to go in terms of how he serve the story. But Katz death was like a gut punch to me. Like, he was a dumbass sometimes and would gently caress things up, but he was really a good kid.

To be honest, though, it kind of does its job. ZZ can best be summarised as a bunch of happy-go-lucky kids very gradually realising that they live in the Universal Century, and it ain't getting better.

It's our belief you're such a spacenoid motherfucker you'll fall for this bullshit, guaranteed!

You heard us right; shove it up your ugly rear end!

Bring your Dom, bring your Zaku, bring your wife - we'll gently caress her!

Because at Big Anaheim Hell's you're hosed six ways from Sunday.

That's right; CHALLENGE PISSING!

How does it work? If you can piss out an airlock in one long frozen unbroken piece, you get no down payment.

Don't wait, don't delay, don't gently caress with us!

Or we'll rip your Balls off!

Only at Big Anaheim Hell's, the only electronics dealer that tells you to gently caress off!

Oh I totally agree! But what sets the ZZ crew apart from everyone else is that, as far as I can remember, they walk away from the war in better shape than just about every other crew that came before them.

If you like VOTOMS the closest thing in Gundam would probably be 08th MS Team despite its saccharine ending and Iron Blooded Orphans which has the advantage of you being ready to jump in on the hype train for Fall.
