chiasaur11 posted:Which he walked off. Just got out of the exploded car bleeding from the face like it wasn't a big deal. In Dozel's defense, Sasro was the one sitting on the reactant mass. Dozel was just close. This, when combined with the fact Dozel was standing on the exploding Big Zam when he died, suggests that the only way to kill Dozel was for him to actually be on top of the explosive. Proximity isn't enough.

Arc Hammer posted:Degwin's second eldest son after Gihren. Doesn't show up in the original series IIRC but is mentioned. Had a brief appearance in The Origin where Kycelia planted a bomb in his car as payback for slapping her. Sasro first gets mention in the Gunboy proposals: quote:YEAR 2059 He doesn't get mention in the original show, but he is briefly mentioned in the Tomino novelization. quote:Whether Degwin Zabi was aware of all his son's machinations at the time was unclear, but Gihren Zabi soon became Supreme Commander and managed to gain control of the Zeon military and the police, placing his brother, Dozle, and sister, Kycilia, in positions of power. In the few years since the founding of the Archduchy, he had finally come within sight of achieving all his immediate ambitions. If there was anything he regretted, it was that his younger brother, Sasro, had been assassinated in the early struggle with the Deikun faction, for Sasro would have been ideally suited to work in government administration. It's worth noting that Tomino had several different ideas for Zabi siblings, and the production notes for the show as it (mostly) exists also mention a "Miharu Zabi" as the youngest Zabi (yes, younger than Garma); trying to grab the link for that gave me the unfortunate realization that Mark Simmons "Ultimatemark" site is no longer active, by the way. It seems to have gone down in June or early July, which is rather sad, since it was a good hub for supplementary information of various kinds. Going back to the point though, Tomino likes reusing names or concepts regularly, so the name Miharu got recycled when making a Kai storyline, while Sasro never got expanded upon or reused in the Tomino stuff, which is probably why Yaz felt comfortable expanding on it for his vision of the original story. As to Kycilia, it's also worth pointing out that Kycilia in those production notes is only 24 but Yaz's design appears to have leant into an older sibling, so is seems like Tomino ran with that and in his novelization she's actually the second Zabi sibling, and older than Dozle. Which is probably why you get things like ImpAtom mentioned, where Naliss Zabi is mentioned as both Gihren and Dozle's mother despite Kycilia being born between them according to most material, since originally Tomino would have planned on Kycilia being born after Dozle, and then changing his mind, seemingly based on Yaz' character design making her look older than he'd pictured.

I first noticed a few years ago after going back to a bookmark I'd made of the site for it's very thorough UC timeline and noticing that the timeline just wasn't there anymore. Which is a shame, because if you really just wanted to see all the big events in chronological order, it was the best place to look.

Ultimatemark still exists, it's right there: http://ultimatemark.com/gundam/ His note on the UC timeline currently is: "Special Feature: Universal Century Timeline Formerly an interactive timeline of the Universal Century. I haven't maintained this, because the official timeline is frankly a bit of a mess at this point. When time permits, I'll build something new from scratch."

Certificate buggery shouldn't throw ISP messages. Just security warnings if the site is forcing HTTPS or... I dunno, can you make a browser require HTTPS on all connections?

Waffleman_ posted:Also a lesser Model Shop Mom, smdh A metaphor for build series as a whole. Build everything is so strange because thry nailed the concept in the first go. (gundam builders beginning was an ova it doesn't count Damnit) and then made inferior copy after inferior copy because they insisted on trying to be different. Tri with the team angle that rarely worked. Divers nixing to actual models in favor of dumb vr bullshit and so forth. That said, I'd be lying if seeing Build Burning gundam with a master Asia Cape doesn't get a moderate hype on principle.

Caros posted:A metaphor for build series as a whole. It sorta fell into the same problem as Yu-Gi-Oh in that way, really. Granted, I think Yu-Gi-Oh series have a higher average quality than Build, all those at least turn out watchable, albeit sometimes in a 'trainwreck appeal' way. I wonder if taking a Pokemon sort of approach to just keep stretching that first concept would've actually worked for Build, though; Pokemon could just keep doing the same formula with new Pokemon because every few years, there's 100+ new ones to introduce and do new stuff with, but with gunpla that's basically what new main Gundam shows are for. You don't need a new Build series just to showcase new Witch from Mercury suits, because we already got a show that filled that need, it was called Witch from Mercury!

Kanos posted:IMO, Re:Rise is pretty much as good as the original Build Fighters. Re Rise is the secret best Gundam series. What makes it and the original Build Fighters work is that they are both built around a strong emotional core of a sad person becoming happy by connecting with other people through Gunpla. In Try and Divers, the main character is perfectly fine and happy already and Gunpla is just a fun hobby they pick up. Hell, in Divers the main guy already has a strong friend group, they could have done literally any other activity and had basically the same fun time.

i think re:rise has some standout moments for gundam as a whole and it does become a genuinely good show a bit in but the beginning is so generic and slowly paced that i commited the unthinkable sin of watching the first 10 episodes at 1.5x speed and it felt genuinely natural. to the point that i would sometimes forget the show was sped up at all until the music was off or the subs vanished in a second, which i think really speaks of how engaging that whole section was. after that point i stopped being an anime criminal because it was genuinely enjoyable but i know people who dropped it during the first few episodes and i dont blame them

Re:Rise beginning isn't that bad or that slow and in fact it works when we get to the moment where it reveals it's full hand. It's just if you came to it from watching the first full build divers it obsoletely felt like it was going to be more of the same at the start

early rerise is nothing anybody browsing an anime forum hasn't already seen a dozen times in other videogame-themed (or inspired) adventure or battle manga series. it absolutely does pay off later but it also doesn't do anything really unique until then, IMO.

I’m not a huge rewatcher, but I’ve watched the penultimate episode of Re Rise multiple times. It’s easily one of my favorite episodes of television ever. GimmickMan posted:early rerise is nothing anybody browsing an anime forum hasn't already seen a dozen times in other videogame-themed (or inspired) adventure or battle manga series. it absolutely does pay off later but it also doesn't do anything really unique until then, IMO. That’s why Re Rise is the secret best Gundam. Not only is it not talked about much in the fandom, the show itself hides how good it is from the viewer for a long loving time.

This is what makes it unique OP. It's that instead of checkboxing arbitrary VRMMO anime checkboxes, the whole 'team bonding and learning to work with each other' bit serves to inform how the characters will process their individual traumas and the bonds built there explain how 4 people who have never met and don't really like each other grow to like each other and develop a life long friendship that helps each of them move past their individual traumas and hangups and reach a kind of self-actualization through Gunpla. If what you're arguing is that the immense amount of cheap shovelware out there poisons the well... then sure. But uh... that's literally anime and media in general right there. Companies will run a concept into the ground if they think they might be the special one to restart the money printer.
