Meijin was being a real dick, the renato's were having fun and trying to make a realistic gundam scene and then he has to go and bring the pg exia into it. Gunpla is freedom to troll people, I guess. :colbert:

Their vision of Gunpla was insufficiently free. The path to enlightenment is sometime a cruel one.

Plus, we know they’re professional players who aren’t very fun to play against, so as the Meijin, getting them to loosen up and accept other Gunpla philosophies is one of his responsibilities.

Seed/Seed Destiny has so many floating space boobs in it's opening song animations. Catchy song, suspicious anime tiddy physics. This is the main takeaway I got from that youtube compilation of all the Gundam openings.

No, Flit Asuno also helped designed the AGE-1 (and the AGE-2 and AGE-3 also) Amuro also came up with the Nu Gundam

Look SEED is like an okay if sort of sugary retelling of original Gundam 0079 with some modern AU Gundam components thrown in. SEED Destiny is pure loving week to week fan fiction by the director and his wife which ruins its nice premise after about 10 episodes.

The titty physics are off the chart in that show though, possibly only rivaled by Sumeragi in 00.

We get some "after the act" semi pillowtalk with Kira and Flay if you wanna stretch the definition of pillowtalk. P sure the most Kira and his ~pure~ waifu ever did was exchange promise rings and look at eachother.

Yeah Flay has this whole femme fatale-ish plot to guilt trip Kira into continuing to pilot the Gundam until he eventually is killed in battle. Sleeping with him is a part of that plan.

Actually its probably one of the more interesting ways SEED alters the 0079 premise, though it doesn't quite go anywhere really.

He's just repairing it, the Val-Varo is actually supposed to be another late war Zeon prototype weapon dealio that is an offshoot of the Bigro that incorporates Adzam tech.

I actually think the seed movies showed Kira and Flay having sex, for some inexplicable reason. Guess Fudaka really wanted the viewer to know that Kira got laid.

Amuro and Sayla banged in the novels. Then Amuro died.

It would have been really weird if that happened in the show. I mean, they're probably about the same age, but Amuro is like a little kid and Sayla seems older and more mature. But you know how weird ages in anime is.

Amuro is probably my favorite Gundam protagonist, because he's a bratty little bitch in the beginning, then he matures and by the end of the show \ Zeta Gundam \ CCA he's really cool.

Actually that show had a lot of good characters. Bright was kind of an inexperienced, uptight unlikable rear end in a top hat at first, but then he becomes a good leader and overall cool dude. Bright and Amuro hated each other at first but later became good buddies. And then there's Kai, who was a gigantic rear end in a top hat, who also becomes a cool dude.

What I'm saying is First Gundam is good.

Well that makes sense.

I think they're older in the novels (like in their 20s) and Amuro was an enlisted guy from the start. Also they met Lalah way earlier and she died, then Amuro had a fling with some other Zeon chick. I never did finish the novels, I should probably do that sometime. They're super different.

I don't know how I got Flay and Lacus mixed up. Maybe I should rewatch Seed and see if I really hated Kira or if I actually liked Lacus.

Also, she apparently gave him a talisman made of her public hair, which I’m informed was actually a real practice by the girlfriends of Russian pilots during World War II.

It’s Flay, not Lacus, but yeah. It happens in the movies. This, for the record, is the ‘Kira sticks it in the crazy’ music:

Okay uh... I never made it that far in the books.

Sayla kind of had a Russian accent in the original 1998 dub of the movies. And Bright was British, which makes sense. Char was also Steve Blum. They also said "Gun-drat".

Apparently Sunrise was so embarrassed by that dub it was only ever on the VHS and was never on any DVDs. That was the Gundam I grew up with lol

That said, Brad Swaile is totally the voice of Amuro for me. It was so jarring how Amuro, Char and Bright have different VAs in the Zeta Gundam dub.

What's great is that the guy who did his voice in the MSG TV dub sounds a LOT like the Japanese voice actor when played back to back.

Even though it's not up to par with Ocean's excellent 0079 dub, the Blue Water Zeta dub is still fairly good. Kamille and Char especially sound decent, but Zeta Char is no Michael Kopsa.

Keith Silverstein has been doing a good job in the Origin films, but I still hear Nazeem looking for pussy in the cloud district whenever he talks.

She didn't actually. Kai told Amuro to ask her for one, Amuro did, Sayla was like 'what that's loving weird' and then they dropped it except Kai blaming it for Amuro's death later on.

I like that Zeta Amuro is voiced by the same guy who does Shinn's voice in the Destiny dub.

But my favorite Zeta dub VAs are Kamille, Four, Char, Emma and Scirocco. Which is good because they are my favorite characters in Zeta. Master Asia being the Narrator was cool too, though.
