Kai became Indiana Tintin Bond having adventures. He did more than fine. And Sayla just said gently caress it and retired at the ripe old age of twenty.

If we're talking dream matches, and assuming that the mobile suits are equalized enough to make it come down to pilot skill, I'd love to see a Raiden and Armstrong bit between Mikazuki and Gym Ghingham. Mika's the end product of Gym's ideal world of wars, and consequently has about nothing in common with him. If it was anyone other that Gym, that might make him reconsider some things.

Blaze Dragon posted:If animated Crossbone hasn't happened yet, I doubt it'll happen. If Banrise were going to make an animated Crossbone adaption they'd probably have done it in the late 90's or early 2000's when Gundam X and Turn-A had both failed, since Crossbone is a UC show with a definite fanbase and would have been a sure fire way to guarantee at least some interest and approval for their next show. Instead they made SEED. Which netted them even more bux than Crossbone was likely to ever do, even if the people paying were more fickle. As is, Crossbone itself wrapped up more than 20 years ago and they've already sold all the really photogenic Gundam designs multiple times over so any new Gunpla adverts (i.e. animations) would likely suffer from diminishing returns even if they redesigned them a bit or simply resold them. I really don't see why they'd bother with Crossbone, though I may be biased, since while there's a few nice designs the actual plot and characters never did much for me.

Speaking of Kai, I've read that in one of the routes in G Generation DS he becomes some sort of Newtype Übermensch? Does anyone know what's up with that? I've not seen any source that goes into detail about it,other than it being a story AU where Amuro dies during 0079.

One of the things I personally disliked most about Try was how many of the fights devolved into trashy 1-on-1 power duels. Most of the time it's completely obvious who's going to win, the interesting part is the strategies, so when you reduce it to the characters just farting out larger and larger beams it just sucks any kind of joy or excitement out of the show.

I've not seen any source that goes into detail about it,other than it being a story AU where Amuro dies during 0079. Basically: In the Gundam novels the White Base is almost entirely Newtypes and extremely powerful ones at that, to the point they are gaining in power so quickly that Kai, Amuro and Hayato are effectively able to take out an entire Zeon armada on their own. After Amuro's death in the novel Kai Shiden is actually the no-poo poo strongest newtype around and is actually able to guide them to Ghiren Zabi by following the evil pressure he gives out. However he's still Kai Shiden and so he hates the everliving poo poo out of Zeon and Char. The rest of the White Base crew remains on Zeon afterwards but Kai returns to the Federation instead. G Gen DS basically follows after that and so when the Nu Gundam is made it's Kai, not Amuro, who is the pilot.

Assimilation killed any hope of a good fight with the Try Burning Gundam stone dead the moment it was introduced, because any decent damage would put Sekai in the ICU. What also helped keep fights interesting in Build Fighters was there'd be entire episodes dedicated to characters who weren't the main protagonists. Which means that as the protagonist's progress in the Cup isn't at stake, maybe the fight really could go either way this time  .

Yeah no one really expects the heroes to lose but it's all how you choreograph the fight. The battles in BF seemed tense because the fights resulted in Sei model getting damaged and the fights were very creative, with stuff like him adding super glue to the arms or pulling out tactics from char's counterattack to win. While build knuckle was a finisher, for the most part, it wasn't just a "I win" button. EDIT- even when the build knuckle was a "I win" button, like in Aila's fight, the fight itself wasn't the main focus. The focus of that fight was Aila learning to have the courage to get away from a bad situation. The characters conflict was the primary drive, with the build knuckle just a way of getting around her insanely broken special ability.

Though BF didn't use it as well as it could have the model damage idea is actually REALLY good for a sports idea for the same reason that like car damage is. You can have actual consequences without permanently taking the protagonists out of the fight. (You can do this in traditional sports as well but injury is a bit more serious.)

Right. The model damage was what allowed for my personal favourite fight - Star Build Strike vs Wing Gundam Fenice. It would not have been half as effective if both machines hadn't been completely and utterly wrecked by the end of it.

Monaghan posted:Yeah no one really expects the heroes to lose but it's all how you choreograph the fight. Broadly speaking, what kept the Build Knuckle from being annoying the way JIGEN HAOH RYUU was was that the fights geared towards how to best apply that one punch rather than just delivering it arbitrarily. Most battles turned into trying to make even a small opening to deliver that KO blow, because their opponents were all too aware of how it worked and exploited its weaknesses (eg, going right for the shield at the start of the fight so it can't be fed particles). the Build Knuckle wasn't even all that overpowered in the grand scheme of things when you consider it got stopped clean by the Fenice with a fist wrapped in its energy cloak (well, at least did equal damage back, anyway).

I have to disagree with this, just a little, just because part of what kept Build Fighters entertaining was watching people get their best poo poo wrecked and creating the impetus to rebuild something new from what was left rather than just shrugging it off and walking away afterwards.

When I first heard the announcement, and especially after watching the first episode, I assumed that the plan all along was to make a 20 minute OVA, and then cut it up and air it in chunks to promote their streaming service before releasing the whole thing. But clearly, they can't do that. There's no way to make a coherent story out of those episodes. They'd need to make another five minutes worth of connecting and expository scenes to string all that mess together. Monaghan posted:it gives bandai and excuse to sell 15 year old model kits. That's the crazy thing, the model support is so half-assed. Only one kit got a general release. And it's not like the Alex doesn't badly need a new kit, the fact that they didn't take this chance to make a new HG or, god forbid RG, Alex is the most baffling part.

What even was the plot of Twilight Axis? A Zeon mechanic who met Lalah goes to Axis some time after Char's Counterattack and gets emotional closure. But why was she going there? She found a Mobile Armor that I think she might've built, was that the goal? And also some other people were there and they had a fight, and some faceless unnamed soldiers died, were they fighting over the Mobile Armor?

The idea of hyper-condensing a novel down into 25ish minutes of footage is at least an interesting one but man you have to be a genius to make that work and sadly the Twilight Axis staff is not that.

The episodes barely scanned as functional trailers for a real show. Its novel in that it is a proof of concept that, no, 90 seconds is not enough time to tell a story in the way they attempted to. I think they could have maybe come up with something slightly more legible if it were written from scratch to take advantage of that arbitrary limitation, but as an adaptation i think it was doomed to failure.

Yeah, trying to tell a dramatic story with less runtime than the first episode of Inferno Cop is more than a bit tricky. But even allowing for that, Twilight Axis didn't really work. It was easier to follow from the summaries at the bottom of the Youtube pages than from the actual episodes. The animation wasn't really... animated, and the way it kept tossing new Mobile Suits around every thirty seconds didn't help anything. No idea what the deal was there.

I'm just surprised and disappointed that nobody has set an AMV of the various shows of the Gundam franchise to the main title from Star Wars. Yes, I know about that video that swaps out the music to the Zeta Gundam opening, but it's not quite the same.

I'm kind of craving to watch a Gundam series I haven't seen before, but there's...um...not many of them. The two that come to mind are Gundam Seed and Gundam 00, which I never watched because people said bad things about both. Should I look elsewhere, or should I give one or the other of these a shot? EDIT: I also haven't watched AGE, but I'm not even remotely considering that one.

The first season of Gundam 00 is definitely good, and definitely worth watching. And the second season isn't that bad, it's just sort of generic and forgettable. The only reason people rag on 00 S2 so much is because it wastes the good stuff in the first season.

Both are flawed series but SEED is pretty influential on the franchise and while it's frigging hideous it's honestly not that bad a series on its own. (Destiny massively ups its flaws.) 00 is also likewise a flawed series but not unwatchable and is badly hurt by its second part. If you've seen the rest of Gundam neither of those should be unwatchable for you and you might enjoy one or both.

Thanks. I'll give 00 a shot. I've had good experiences with otherwise-maligned Gundam series (ZZ and X were both series I liked despite hearing a lot of bad things going in). Of course, some maligned stuff did turn out to be terrible, like F91, a movie that was almost impossibly dull and hard to sit through.
