Can't blame him. Ordering a new Gundam is a really roundabout process.

Turns out that all of the super prototypes were the result of Job John trying to order replacement parts for the Gundam, except procurement just decided to build a new machine out of them. And then each time they try to deliver them, a zeon team comes to blow up the base.

The first of the earlier Zaku had a potty and they had to awkwardly throw their poop out into space in baggies.

I've been watching the HD seed series, since I hadn't seen the show in 10 years maybe. For added hilarity, I am using the dub track. It's so awful. I mean, there is no one that doesn't sound horribly cast, or forcing lines to fit mouth motions. My favorite is probably lacus, who has a clearly older and more mature voice for her songs (compared to the obvious pre teen voice she normally has).

Of course I'm remembering all the glaring issues the show itself had, regardless of audio track.

To be fair, the HD remaster altered a bunch of the mouth movements to better sync to the Japanese track, which resulted in the dub not matching worth a drat at times. That's not to say the original didn't have a bunch of lines that were forced to fit too, but the remaster just made it worse.

As for the voices, you're gonna call Rau's dub voice bad?

As the story goes, the English dub team were either asked to or decided themselves (I forget which) to recreate the original Japanese audio as best as they possibly could.

However, Matt Hill couldn't quite reach Soichiro Hoshi's..."octave range" for the crying scene. So, the ADR staff came up with a solution: kick Matt Hill in the balls until he matched Hoshi.

The Guntank would be useful in IBO and not in a war that has beam and heat weapons, making its advantage of heavy armor totally useless.

The Guntank is extremely immobile and IBO mecha are pretty goddamn mobile. It would be like the Gouf Custom vs Guntanks but infinitely more violent.

I used to hate the guntank until I played the federation vs zeon game and laugh my rear end off at making it fly around. It was so goofy and endearing.

And what should one do to be remembered?
I don't know if they are supposed to be different models but I like the Guntank design is it appears in The Origin instead of the original design with the dog-shaped head. Even if they are totally useless, it's like the only vehicle that would be practical IRL that UC Gundam has so it has a certain charm to it.

The Origin is a separate/rebooted continuity from First Gundam, and as part of that, Project V didn't produce three different prototypes. Instead, the Guntank was the very first mobile weapon invented, then the Guncannon and Zaku I came about roughly at the same time in the lead up to the OYW, but the Zaku I was a vastly superior mobile suit.

Early losses to Zeon's mobile suit forces because of how outgunned the Guncannon is result in the Federation starting Project V to make their next generation mobile suit, which creates two Gundam prototypes. Test data from both units and field data from unit 2 is used to create the GM as a mass-production machine and simultaneously retrofit all Guncannons with GM parts to turn them into fire support mobile suits late in the war.

Origin late-war Guncannons are basically just GM cannons that look like Guncannons on the outside.

Also worth noting that this means Origin Kai spends most of the OYW clowning on Zaku IIs, Goufs and Doms in a pre-retrofit Guncannon that is canonically a worse piece of garbage than the Zaku I.

I love how every post-original thing that tackles Kai Shiden just makes it clear everyone loves the character and increasingly build him up. It's such a silly thing to do but damned if it doesn't seem universal.

Tell me about it, Hayato gets almost no love in the expanded works.

Sunrise could announce a new OYW spin off being told from Hayato's perspective tomorrow, and I would still expect at least 75% of the manga/novel to be the creators taking an Axis-sized dump all over Hayato.

You fuckers better not be dissing the guntank, or his homie the guncannon.

I've been watching 00 recently. During the second season, I'm trying to remember if I was supossed to hate it for a reason. You have not-karaba trying to fight off not-Titans with the intervention of celestial being and the useless federation of liars. Plus the whole "marie!" thing with Hallellujah only lasts for 4 or 5 episodes and then it's a non-issue with the GN archer. Even Marida is cute being a kindergarten teacher instead of a princess. Also Lockon Haro is second best Haro, after Victory gundam Haro.

It's mostly due to a general reduction in quality compared to the first season, with a big handwritten scrawl of "BE MORE GUNDAM-LIKE" all over it.

How IBO's managed to get away with an outright-good second season has to involve blackmail pictures of someone high-up at Bandai worrying a farm animal, considering their other sequel series in recent years.
