I really miss all the goofy poo poo that the world tournament had, like the wacky races episode, and gunpla baseball. Even the pure fight one's had some interesting ideas, like the battle royale. But nope, gotta stick with the 3 v 3 now.

The island OVA reinforced something about Gundam Build Fighters that everyone already knew: The Bearguy series is the absolute best thing in it.

Just watched the OVA. As soon as it started, I realized, I don't remember jack poo poo about Tri. It was so forgettable. Which is sad, since BF was so, so good. As soon as I saw that girl, though, I thought she might be Reiji and Aila's daughter, and I am happy that it was.

After seeing PM Abe dressed as Mario to prepare for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, I have to wonder if that moving 1:1 scale Gundam Japan was allegedly working on would feature in the opening ceremony. Wouldn't that be a sight for the Olympics.

Finished Double Zeta. That too was pretty good. The lighter beginning was a breath of fresh air after watching non stop serious stuff. It's a given to say the latter half was where it was the strongest. I did like that even when poo poo hit the fan it never got into the  levels Zeta did. Though I gotta say Minerva being a double the whole time was kind of odd decision but eh w/e I guess. Also  at Roux sniping Glemy's stupid rear end off the mobile suit. Roux definitely earned best female character in the franchise for THAT. That said I'm kinda glad this Tomino series had something of an actual epilogue/ending where MGS ended like "AND THEY BLEW UP IT ALL UP AND GOT OUT THE END" and Zeta's "AND THEN CAMILLE RAMMED THE 'BECOME A POTATO' BUTTON AND FA IS SAD THE END" Overall I give the series a B+ due to the weak moments in the first half. Also Full Armor Double Zeta Gundam is the coolest Gundam and could beat up your dad easy.  Onto Char's Counter Attack!

Before you ask about CCA, nope you didn't miss any filler/manga bridging the two. That is how it starts. Also, love that glimpse of those scans. HEY GARMA YOU LIKE SECOND HAND SMOKE RIGHT?

I give z a pass for it's ending since zz gundam premiered a week after z ended. It's not surprising that it didn't wrap everything up.

Is there a way to buy Gundam blu-rays for a non insane import price? I really like Thunderbolt (as I have said repeatedly), but not to the point where I'll spend 90 bucks to get a blu-ray.

Rightstuf is being pretty aggressive about licensing everything so it will probably show up eventually but it may be a couple of years.

Given the turn around on Build Fighters, Try, and G-Reco, I imagine that Thunderbolt will not be a long wait. What are the Gundam series without a Blu-ray releases? I know G was announced recently, so does that leave Wing (edit: and X)? I thought 0080 had one but I can't find any info about it and it's being released in the West in DVD so I'm guessing I imagined it.

Char's Counter Attack really could have benefited from an additional 20-30 minutes of footage, wow. Otherwise, holy poo poo that was really cool. Best mobile suit battles yet. Spoiler thoughts: Quess was an idiot. Hathaway is a big loving stupid baby. That entire ending sequence was amazing with suits from both sides trying to stop the meteor. Also Char's final words? drat, wasn't expecting THAT at all. Unicorn time~

It's better to spread out releases, especially when there's an overlap in audiences. Don't want your releases to compete with each other.

Was CCA always intended to be a film, or was it similar to F-91 where it was supposed to be a larger series before getting chopped down?

Arcsquad12 posted:Was CCA always intended to be a film, or was it similar to F-91 where it was supposed to be a larger series before getting chopped down? Now, there's also a novelization called Beltorchika's Children/Hi-Streamer written by Tomino that changes a bunch of details (Nu Gundam and Sazabi don't exist; Hi-Nu and Nightingale are Amuro and Char's respective Mobile Suits) and characters (I believe Gyunei, Kayra and Chan do not exist in the novel and were all created for the movie) and IIRC, is what Tomino wanted to do with CCA but ultimately did not. Think of it as a quasi-director's cut version of events. This version ties more directly with the Hathaway's Flash novel due to the big changes, with Hathaway being the one to kill Quess instead of the "Chan kills Quess-->Hathaway kills Chan as a rational followup response" sequence like in the movie.

I watched the BFT OVA and, I wish the tv series had been more like this. The fighting was pretty whatever but it did a nice job at addressing my biggest complaint with the series insomuch that the cast bounced off each other quite well instead of the supporting cast being discarded. I was down on the tv series but if this OVA is an indicator of what to expect from whatever they do next with Try then heck, I'm down with it.

AradoBalanga posted:As the story goes, CCA was a project that Tomino was planning during ZZ's development, and subsequently negotiating with Sunrise execs at the same time as directing ZZ. Part of the tone change in ZZ around the midpoint was apparently due to Tomino getting the green light to go ahead with CCA, resulting in him changing directions with ZZ to better lead into CCA. there were two novelizations, Hi-streamer came before the movie and Beltorchika's children after. They are not the same thing.

Srice posted:I watched the BFT OVA and, I wish the tv series had been more like this. I'm not, really. One of the biggest draws of GBF was the superb fight choreography, and while Try didn't have nearly as much of that, it still had glimmers. The OVA had absolutely none. The fights made 00's battles look lively and imaginative. Hell, the untra-hyped Scramble Gundam barely did anything except stand there and open portals. My confidence that new Try stuff will at least give us the occasional good fight is rapidly diminishing.

I mean yeah, the fights in the OVA were indeed lame. But my personal problem with Try was always more on the character side of things and the OVA took some stabs at fixing it such that I have a positive view of the future.

Even if you think they are predictable, it's hard to see how they are boring, because gently caress me if the one thing you can't deny Unicorn, it's that it has really impressive action sequences.

A red cape has specific symbolic meaning in the context of Iron Blooded Orphans, thinking about it. It's an old school duelist's thing, basically telling your opponent to meet you out by the bike rack. Pretty uncommon in the "present" of the show, which makes me wonder what this dude's deal is.

If you say so. I just like when I can root for characters that I know and am invested in. Banagher I am never invested in. But Episode 4 is still great, don't get me wrong, but that is only after we've grown to know Zinnerman and his crew and understand the bitterness that drives Neo Zeon.
