My favourite thing about Inferno Cop is that not only is his opponent immune to bullets, but so is he!

Some DVD special? Yup, a summary of the Universal Century up to Unicorn. But every time I think about it, I think about Char Aznable remembering the day his father showed him ice for the first time before facing the execution squad.

What are your favorite Gundam OPs? I pretty much love them all, but in particular: Victory Gundam OP 1 and 2 - the tone whiplash is amazing Gundam 00 OP 3 - I like the song, nice animation that also works as a recap to the first season Gundam AGE OP 3 - Obari directed it. Gundam Wing OP 2 - I really love the Zero System booting up part in the beginning. Pppppppppppp Zeta Gundam OP 2 - the cut with Four is one of my all-time favorites

Turn A Gundam, with the hand reaching for the moon. Never skipped it once.

Schneider Heim posted:What are your favorite Gundam OPs? Turn A Gundam OP 1 - super-stylish visuals, and a song that does them justice. ZZ Gundam OP 2 (Silent Voice) - a fun 80s power-ballad that provides useful characterisation for the main villain. G Gundam OP 1 (Flying in the Sky) - pure, glorious cheese. Stardust Memory OP 1 and 2 (The Winner, Men of Destiny) - the most 80s things ever produced in the 90s, and wonderful adverts for the simple pleasures of rocking out white giant robots explode. Gundam 00 OP 1 and 2 (Daybreak's Bell, Ash Like Snow) - a fresh new sound and a fresh new look for Gundam, both stylish and dramatic. Gundam Build Fighters OP 2 (wimp) - an irresistible invitation to a world of pure fun. Iron-Blooded Orphans OP 1 and 2 (Raise Your Flag, Rage of Dust) - brash, rebellious hymns to the merits of living fast, dying young, and leaving a good-looking corpse. It should be stressed, of course, that the second halves of both seasons point out the downsides to this mindset, and their slightly more subdued OPs are a useful asset to that, but that doesn't stop these two from being as catchy and seductive as any other Bad Decisions Song (Let It Go, Hakuna Matata, Do You Hear The People Sing, you name it).

I pretty much agree with most of the stuff above, still not seen Turn A yet. I am girding my loins for SEED.

Dreams and Resolution. I'm not the biggest fan of GundamX (BlitzBlast has me beat by parsecs) but god drat if those openings aren't just so good on the ears. Also good: ZZ OP 2 (Silent Voice) 00 Season 1 OP 1 (Daybreak's Bell) Victory OP 1 (Stand up to the Victory) Wing OP 2 (Rhythm Emotion) When the zero system boots up at the beginning of the song, oh boy oh boy oh boy.

Build Fighters had a great OP. Not just the song, but I love the little fakeout at the beginning where it starts like a traditional Gundam opening, but then Sei's hand comes from offscreen and grabs the Gundam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V589nNnfP1U

I am still hard pressed to find a show uglier than SEED that reached mainstream appeal. Early digital painting was a dark time for animation.

The Turn A OPs are both great but if I even think about Moon for a moment I start to tear up. Beyond those I think the only ones I'd listen to independent of thinking about anime OPs are The Winner and Raise Your Flag. Though some of the non-opening/ending tracks in Build Fighters are freaking amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFCc5NLTWtc Always been a fan of Zeta OP 1, not the least of which because it was originally written by Neil Sedaka of all people.

I'm tempted to do a uniform thing for it when I am done but it might just end up with me just pointing out how super weird for your crews formal stuff to include skirts in zero g enviroments. I am sorry for those who waited for me to cover The Titans. I tried my best. Can't say much. I scribbled a vague draft whilst desperately looking for images (doing something like this? have the DVD copies because sadly people don't screencap the poo poo out of uniforms) and I think I was going for a trying to hard Jerid theme before I said sod it. It's really just red and blue Feddie gear anyway.

Daybreak's Bell (00 OP1) is easily the best by far but both of 83 and Victory's openings are good too.

Guys I really like the Origin manga. I've blown through it in the last month, will be getting the last 3 volumes in a couple days. It's such a great retelling of the original story. More concise, and well organized.

Ash Like Snow is really, really good too. The only 00 opening that's not very good is the second Season 2 one.

Say what you will about AGE but I really like Asu E. I seem to prefer the more recent OP and EDs in general, now that I'm thinking about what I have on playlists and such. River, Wing of Words, Kimi wa Boku no Niteriu, Daybreak's Bell, Hakanaku mo Towa no Kanashi, Kyou kara Omoide, Just Fly Away, Raise Your Flag, Orphans no Namida, Survivor etc. I remember liking MEN OF DESTINY (The all caps is important, of course) too.

Sunrise has been pretty on point with OP/ED music choice since they stopped sucking T.M. Revolution's dick

I gotta give a shout out to the 8th MS Team op, it has so many good little details like the truck commander covering his ears when the guns fire. Really helps sell the Gundam in Vietnam angle.

Origins Mirai is probably the most competent person in the crew at the start?

Really helps sell the Gundam in Vietnam angle. This is the best one. I basically say it's WHAT BATTLETECH SHOULD LOOK LIKE. Military ops and cool combined arms stuff. But I am a bit of an 08th MS Team fanboy outside of the swimming scene early on which I would prefer to be removed honestly. I am pretty good with the SIGN OF ZETA opening but that could be because it's in the Saturn video game and in spite of the game being a right bastard it's a catchy rear end opening. (Though vidya wise Rockman X4 and Wild Arms sort of outdo it in the intro song stakes.)

A lot of good choices. My favorites mentioned thus far are Wing's Rhythmic Emotion and Just Communication, Stardust Memory's Winner, Zeta's "From an Aqueous Star with Love" (the part with Four flying by, as well as Char taking off his glasses, being my favorite) but I didn't see any love for SEED. I love SEED's first OP just as much as the others I mentioned. https://youtu.be/EMRaR15RBno

I think all the little touches go a long way to making it good. I just finished volume 9 (Texas colony stuff) and they made chalia bull younger. I was always bothered by how old he was in the show, for a new type that is.
