Endorph posted:which is weird because every time i look at it it just looks like the base AGE-1 to me Which is heavily derived from the RX-78. Looking at the Core next to the AGE, they've got some commonalities (grey leg section, green on chest) but the Age's defining features are absent. The Core has a RX-78 style red piece at the base of the horns, the green bit isn't in the center of the chest to draw focus alongside the vents, and there's no racing spoiler, which is kind of the defining feature of the AGE-1. I guess it's more a function thing than an aesthetic one. The Core and the AGE were both built around expansion packs to a greater degree than even the Strike or the Impulse, so that common point draws attention more than the finer details.

tsob posted:Should your problem not be with Mirai and/or the writing around her in that case? Yeah, as much as I dislike Sleggar, I really dislike the writers for how they constructed a scenario where a woman falls in love with a man who hits her. For me, that’s the biggest character misstep in the series.

It's a process because rights have to be renegotiated I think.

I don't like OP1 that much but it's the principle of the thing, I guess. Though I think if you want the best visual quality you're stuck with the version that lacks the original OP/EDs anyway, even going

Oh I don't underestimate it one bit. I might want things but they're impossible to get legally with how hosed up copyright is.

What about an orchestral version of the original OP performed by London Symphony Orchestra? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q47RlaJJgnw

I like the second Zeta OP so much more than the 1st OP so I'm skipping the 1st OP in my rewatch. I forgot just how frequently Kamille gets slapped in the first 4 episodes too.

In fact, the model kit sales were "only" 400 million yen better for the back half (with Witch kits) than they were in the front half (without), and kits made up less than half of Gundam's sales worldwide. Numbers are all there in black and white. Witch seems to have boosted Gunpla sales even more than Bandai expected back in January, and HG Aerial is a crazy success, but the whole brand was overperforming dramatically. I'm kind of curious where the bulk of the IP sales come from, honestly. I suspect that gacha games make up a bigger chunk of the cash than is healthy (Dragon Ball making much more than Gundam in total while selling far less merch encourages that theory) but even the detailed data doesn't go that deep into the weeds.

Second OP is one of the best OPs in Gundam history, IMO. First one is catchy enough but nothing special. Also just wanna share another orchestrated Gundam song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXOZHLPULxU [video type=""]On the opposite end, I've fallen in love with these video game remixes of these Wing songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLnG_mwD_ac NikkolasKing fucked around with this message at 12:38 on May 11, 2023 |

TenementFunster posted:there is no rights dispute anymore, like there was in 2008 with the Bandai US DVD boxset. the OPs and ED have been licensed in the United States since at least 2019 by Sunrise Music, who is owned by Bandai-Namco. the original OPs/ED were missing from the earlier US releases as they didn't have an official US licensee due to all three songs being tied up with Neil Sedaka's label This is still a case where they'd have to do extra licensing work, because the 2016 English release of Zeta did not have the original songs. Understandably, CR only bothered to work out rights to stream that existing version as-is.
