Yeah I remember the line edits for wing, I'd watch the show right after school back then. Man it was so fun being excited for shows like wing and G back then, constantly speculating what was going to happen next.

dogsicle posted:seems pretty boring to skimp on an actual ED for a tweaked instrumental of the OP. also means all that great Relena art was just dropped. All the Toonami animes had weird 15-30 second Toonami branded techno montages for "OPs" and usually converted the original OPs into 45 second instrumental EDs.

Is there a good Virgo gunpla kit out yet using the Leo base they made a few years ago? I love how the design of Oz suits in Wing all have the thick thighs with thrusters on them to mimic the look of jodhpurs and riding breeches fitting with their snazzy 19th century nobility anesthetics.

In general I have always liked the specialization in Wing's grunt suits. While I definitely would have loved Noin getting cool Gundam knockoff, the Taurus isn't the worst thing. Seed also has some neat variations popping up now thst I'm getting further in to it. Victory is up there for me too and is definitely it's really nice bright spot.

The weird thing about Wing is that it didn't even really have any notable mass produced variants, like custom Leos or Tauruses. The extent of customization seemed to be a different paint job, and maybe a slightly different gun. The Maganac Corps are the only units to have any real customization going on, and they were all customized, so they didn't even really have a standard unit.

The Maganac Corps are the only units to have any real customization going on, and they were all customized, so they didn't even really have a standard unit. I'm wondering if this was something to do with the scope of the conflict? The scale of the conflicts seemed very limited, starting with guerrilla action by the Gundams, then OZ overthrowing the Alliance, the Sanc Kingdom getting torched for harboring Alliance defectors, the Treize/Tubarov split, and finally the White Fang vs Treize Faction conflict. Aside from the last conflict, none of those were exactly sweeping general mobilization affairs like the One Year War in the UC, and the final battle was a bit of "lets smash everything we have together and see who comes out on top!" Most of the advancement in series was the production of additional suits in the constellation series, culminating in the Virgo and Virgo II. Because the scope of these conflicts were limited, you didn't need the sheer number of Leos like you needed Zaku II or GMs, nor did you need to refit older Leos after the Virgo came out--just slap a mobile doll controller in them and call it a day, the Virgo is orders of magnitude better and we have enough to field them exclusively as our frontline troops. It's not like Zeon who couldn't actually produce enough Gelgoogs and Rick Doms to supply their already strapped forces at the end of the war and needed to refit and upgrade existing Zaku II's to keep them competitive with the GM. (Or field literal trash cans with thrusters and guns piloted by the And the other source of custom variants, ace pilots, don't seem to exist in Wing, or they're all just given Gundams. In fact, the only ace that doesn't get a Gundam is Noin.

Yeah, that was a big thing but there were a lot who didn't. Relena got the most hate of all the female characters and definitely had a couple of OTT hate shrines. Wufei also had an absolutely insane hate shrine and people argued a lot about ships, who topped who, and other things. It got weird and wanky sometimes. At least one YA author started off in Gundam Wing fandom and I would absolutely not be surprised if more older YA authors did too. For some segments of nerdy women who were preteens-young adults in the late 90s to early 00s, Gundam Wing was their first big online fandom along with Harry Potter and/or the Lord of the Rings movies.

AHEM it is "The Great Destroyer is back again!" versus "the God of Death is back from Hell!" Szmitten posted:All the Toonami animes had weird 15-30 second Toonami branded techno montages for "OPs" and usually converted the original OPs into 45 second instrumental EDs. This is kind of rooted in Voltron which made its own Opening using bits and pieces of footage from everywhere while its ending pulled from GoLion's opening pretty much exclusively.

Is there any UC material outside of the Gihren's Greed and a few other Gundam games that focuses on the non Mobile Suit side of the One Year War? They're the defining symbol of the conflict but it's also the first and last real conventional war that the franchise ever really dealt with. Until September 0079 the majority of the conflict on the Federation side was fought with tanks, aircraft, ships and infantry. Are there any stories that focus on just how pants shittingly terrifying the war was before conventional warfare gave way to the age of the Mobile Suit? Also, the Toonami talk brought me around to the final scenes and ED from 0080 and now I'm crying over a senseless waste of hamburgers.

Mobile Suits show up, but the Zakus are always a big deal when they show. Also, IGLOO II's first two episodes. But it's still, you know, Igloo. So it's not exactly good looking.
