Were there any changes in the IBO blu-rays? Wondering more about the "expanded epilogue" type than "art fix" kind here.

Just started the Daemon x Machina demo and I was about to switch the voices to English because reading is near-impossible while playing then I hit the cutscene at the end of the second mission.

"Diablo" is voiced by Toru Furuya and "Crimson Lord" is Shuichi Ikeda.

I can't switch the voices if I have Amuro and Char on my side.

The names are also a clue.

It's still hosed up that they made Amuro's mech black instead of white, though.

Clearly, DxM is just the Setsuko route of SRW Z and he'll upgrade later into Nu-Diablo.

It's sort of weird to see Gold Frame sandwiched in between two of the most popular protagonist Gundams.

Yeah, it is a bit odd, but it's probably since they wanted to have a girl in the main cast, and the Gold Frame is one of the more popular suits associated with a female pilot.

I'd argue that Rising, Nobel and Impulse are more popular than Gold Frame, or at least, are what comes to mind when discussing "popular/recognizable mobile suits with female pilots". I mean, Impulse takes things a step further and keeps the theme of protagonist suits intact.

Nothing from g gundam is even remotely close to be considered "popular", on the scale of Wing or unicorn anyway. If you want that angle try the Gerbera tetra or Qubeley.

Shenanigans using Mirage Colloid? Which then leads to question of "Why not use the original Blitz Gundam instead?". The only other thing I can think of that'd make sense is cross promotion with something Astray related. There is a new Astray manga coming up, I think?

I left those two off because they were in the last SD Gundam Three Kingdoms show (or at the very least, the Qubeley was). I figured Sunrise would want to not repeat Gundams/MS for future titles to avoid confusion.

The way Bandai has handled Wing is nothing short of shameful. It's certainly up there with the big fat popular franchises, and we've only just recently started getting grunt gunpla kits and no other media save for a side cameo ala Build Fighters. I wish I could grab the whole board of directors and throw them off a airplane midflight with the chairs and table attached.

You can tell how much I watched the show, because I literally forgot that. And even read and posted in an LP thread where said series was featured, no less. :ughh:

To be honest, you should also throttle Heero's VA/noted super fan Hikaru Midorikawa as well. You'd think he'd have enough pull within the company (given how easy it is to hire him for gigs) to at least have some influence over the Gunpla division, but apparently that isn't the case.

If you have a source or even a semi-source for another new Astray series I'd greatly appreciate it; I was all but certain that Sky Princess was the end of the road.

I was thinking of Sky Princess, since I had no idea that the Astray series was still going after all these years until someone posted a tankoubon cover earlier in the thread. My bad.

Still wouldn't stop Sunrise from half-assing a tie-in into SD Gundam, though.

No worries! And on that that note, in fact, is this Chiba (the other half of the usual Astray team) saying he's planning to restart Astray works himself?

Turns out Build Divers has sidestories on GundamInfo and these are possibly the wildest things I have ever read:

quote:

“He destroyed us with one shot… He’s as strong as the devil…”

“Exactly. I am the one who owns the abyss of GBN and rules over darkness. I am the all-seeing, all-knowing fallen angel…Louis XIII.” A quiet voice echoed throughout their cockpits.

”Louis XIII…?!”

Barely managing to stay afloat, Carl said in surprise, “Do you happen to be… Are you…?”

“You’re a middle schooler, aren’t you?” Tim shouted with all of his remaining strength.

A pause that felt like an eternity ensued.

”…W-why do you know that?”

“Your name gives it away. Let me guess, eighth grade?”

“N-no! I am the true heir of Satan and the master of dark and light Lucifer’sー”

“Oh, then tell me the answer to the infinitesimal calculus problem I’m about to ask you!” Carl poured salt into Louis XIII’s wound.

“I haven’t learned that in class yet!”

“He’s definitely a middle schooler.”

“I, the master, have reservations for cram school, and will log out now.”

Yes and no. He starts off by saying that with Vol. 4 on sale that for now this is the end of Chiba/Tokita Astray as published in Gundam Ace magazine. Unless Vol. 4 sells REALLY well. Though he and Tokita won't be working together, they will both continue to produce their own works and Chiba will be planning a revival for Astray in secret.

So don't hold your breath for now.

My theory is the director or writer was given free reign to make a Build X show, and he used it as a platform for his own pet project about Sarah the magic VR fairy.

Today I'm... amped up!

So I've been playing through Gihren's Greed for the Saturn recently and I wanted to ask - is there any interest in starting up a Gihren's Greed Megathread in Games? I saw that the old LP back from 2014 got a decent amount of attention (mine included), so I thought there might be some interest even though the series is more or less dead at this point. I've got about half an OP written up, but I really only know the Saturn original and nothing about the other four games that came after it (even if the 5th is technically a remake of the first, there's enough differences to consider it a separate game). So if there is interest, I'd be happy to get the ball rolling with the original game and add content from there.

I'm currently working through a Zeon playthrough right now - I'll probably do Zeon then Federation and then see what the append disc holds for me. It's seriously the best $5 I've ever spent on a video game, let alone a Saturn game.

If nothing else, it could serve as a good resource/starting point for people interested because there is a desperate lack of such materials in English across the internet.

McTimmy posted:

Apparently in one game he even has a blue Zakrello! Dude just loves his blue mobile suits/armors. Fun fact: He will also change what he says depending on what MS he is in at the time. If he's in a Gouf, he'll say the classic 'This is no Zaku!' line. If he's in a Dom, it will change into 'This is no Gouf!' and so on and so forth.

Spoilers, because Ramba Ral and Doms actually have a significant impact in-game that people might want to be surprised by:
If you've researched Doms by the time Ral does his second sortie against White Base (the first destroys his team's Gouf and Zakus, as seen in the show, so he asks you for a resupply), you have the option of overriding Kycilia/M'Quve and giving him said Doms. He puts them to very good use - with them he is able to successfully destroy the Gundam and capture White Base, the Guncannon, and the Guntank (which also gives you their plans for research/production - given that I've stolen all of two plans (none of which are guaranteed to be good) about a third of the way through the game, having three plans for Very Good Federation tech is a big deal). Plus, he and the rest of his team survive!
