CMD598 posted:Bazookas are effective because they're loving huge, and heat weapons are effective because melting it is apparently more effective than breaking it. They're both still proof positive that physical means can and are used to damage luna titanium all the time, and it's been true since the beginning. Just going "they're physical weapons, so they probably won't be able to damage luna titanium" is silly, because it happens regularly in Gundam in a variety of ways.

It reminds me a lot of those old PS2 Gundam games. Possibly because it looks like a PS2 game.

It definitely does, also don't get discouraged if you run into players with really strong stuff, as they decided to have the game share content and playerbases with the Japanese version, so yeah there will be people who have been playing since the game launched over there back last July Gripweed posted:It reminds me a lot of those old PS2 Gundam games. Possibly because it looks like a PS2 game. I'd say it looks more like a mid tier HD Remaster of a PS3 era game, which in some ways it kinda is since Battle Operation 1 was a PS3 title and this game definitely reuses assets from that one Also for anyone who hasn't grabbed it yet, as part of the US launch they're giving everyone ten free suits

extremely random but powerful thoughts: after playing untitled goose game and reading glory of losers at about the same time I realised there's probably a moment where zechs goes "howard give the tallgeese fluffy wings so it can be more goose-like" and that's why it has the wing zero wings in the first place make the tallgeese honk is what i'm saying

Interestingly they seem to be implying that the Moonlight Butterfly at it's full power is as much a Newtype phenomenon as it is something that is simply technological in nature

I don't really get the "Actually the constant repetition of horrifying war through the medium of Gundams is a GOOD thing" viewpoint.

ImpAtom posted:I don't really get the "Actually the constant repetition of horrifying war through the medium of Gundams is a GOOD thing" viewpoint. The implication is that the Turn A doesn't destroy the world - it recycles already-dying ones and heals even the most horrific catastrophes so that humanity can live on and prosper again despite their mistakes. It gives them a chance to break the cycle, as they finally do in the Turn A Gundam TV show. It's a very Buddhist perspective - kind of like the Dark Souls series, where sometimes the kindest thing you can do for the world is to end it so it can start afresh. This actually fits quite well with the original Turn A Gundam TV show - butterflies aren't just symbols of death in Japanese mythology, but reincarnation.

I guess the idea is that as long as the cycle continues they can try again and again to finally break the cycle. That's the optimist take of newtypes. The cynic in me sees it as an in universe excuse to continue making Gundam shows.

i did not expect Victory's Haro to be such a badass, the chase sequence in ep24 where he's confusing the patrols is amazing oh and he nobly commits suicide to save Uso like right after? jesus...Haro is a real one dogsicle fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Oct 5, 2019 |

I've kinda given up hope of ever seeing the last bit of 0083 Rebellion translated. Anyone able to spoil if it manages to have a more satisfying, or at least less dumb ending than the OVA?

The last volume of Glory of the Losers comes out next month, and they've just about caught up with the Japanese releases of Thunderbolt, so I really hope they announce a US release of another Gundam manga.

I really like it. It's funny, if you watch the anime the first season feels like a complete story and the second season feels like they're just making more Thunderbolt. But if you read the manga it becomes clear that the events covered by the first season of the anime are just the prologue. The actual story is about what happens after, about these veterans of the One Year War and how they can't escape it's legacy. Basically, they really need to hurry up and do a third season of the anime.

If they had done December Sky and then jumped to a regular 26 episode show for the rest, that would've worked way better. Post-December Sky Thunderbolt isn't really a story you can dice into four episode chunks.

Unfortunately, the Thunderbolt manga appears to have cut off at the same time as Bandit Flower due to the artist injuring his hand, although it is set to resume soon.
