I still think the dumbest thing was the sprew they sent to the kid made entirely of clear plastic, because "He'll have to paint them white and this will teach him the glory of gunpla."

When I was that kids age I would have been "Wait, this thing gets glowing energy fins? Sweet!"

Well it depends on the series, Flay had a pretty decent run before her murder, as have some of the unicorn girls. If this was Victory she'd be dead, along with two other vaugely related female pilots.

We should hope she doesn't take after Flay, then she'd be sleeping with Reiji and trying to manipulate him into murdering the chairman and everyone else who's ever slighted her.

A friend of mine absolutely refuses to watch this show, citing that he can't stand how it's nothing more than a gigantic billboard screaming "BUY GUNPLA."

He fails to see that in the show being so upfront and honest about its aims from the get go, it has more time to actually put together a fun show. He's missing out, I'm having a blast, this show is awesome.

I just had this discussion with a friend of mine, his response was "It's like kiddy Megaman Battle Network crossed with Gundam and not in the good way"

Even the Fenice vs Build Strike fight was not enough to convince him.

Something tells me that Mashita's own assessment as a criminal is considerably higher than it really is. He's expecting Reiji, the prince of Arian to recognize him, but for all we know he's just some guy who stole the planet's equivalent of an air conditioner.

I'm beginning to think that's exactly the case. Reiji was probably like, two, when he was exiled. He's already met him in person and has no idea who this guy is. If he had just left well enough alone and not kept meddling in things with his Arista Sei and Reiji would probably have never suspected him of any wrongdoing or had reason to question his identity or motives.

There needs to be more land battles in season 2 so I can see this beauty animated. There should also be a season 2 to have more land battles in.

This is basically Eureka Seven.

It's set in a world where the planet is covered in a transparent particle(not plavsky) that provides more lift than air alone, allowing for giant robots designed by old Californian surfer dudes to have ridiculous surfing air combat battles.

We didn't see the giant Gundam and Zaku move, but we did get Ramba Ral in a Gouf and Mao's sensei in the Master Gundam and I pretty much lost it at that point.

Also, it looks like Reiji does indeed live on a space colony... that's definitely a cylinder.

The fact that they went with Build Burning Gundam rather than God Gundam threw me for a loop.

Did someone at Bandai realize that they were getting heavy hits on youtube stateside for this and changed the name to lessen confusion? That or they're going for a more fire themed thing so the name change was intentional.

All just so Treize tells her she's wrong for calling something a "Winning Gundam", and she should strive to be not a winner, but a loser.

And so, Fumina's upgrade appears: The Losing Gundam.

In UC everything from F91 on is 15 meters because apparently the F91 and the related suits represented an industrial revolution or something.

ImpAtom posted:

They stayed small. The high point of UC size was the CCA/Hathaway's Flash suits. After that beam weaponry became so powerful for its size that having a small and agile mobile suit was more effective than a bigger or heavily armored one.
Well, Unicorn Destroy is 22 meters tall, same with banshee norn. Still shrimpy next to the Xi. but bigger than the OG Gundam.

Having someone drop their model and break it right before a match would be glorious (even better if it's a Leo (doubly great if the guy shows up towards the end of the series and is an absolute terror with it)). Just replace Gyan Kid with a Leo Kid, is what I'm saying.

He should start with jobbing in a Virgo II and he gets progressively more skilled as he moves down the OZ suit line until he beats the crap out of someone with a lovingly crafted Leo.

Every interview I've seen suggests that it wasn't because of Gundam SEED, Gundam SEED just happened to hit when they were tired of trying. The big blame was on the G Gundam kits. Not because people didn't want G Gundam kits but because the G Gundam kits that were being made were poo poo like Zebra Gundam or Mummy Gundam, with the big-name protagonist Gundams people wanted being unavailable or only available in Battle Damaged format. They did the same with 0079 kits where you could get Random GM or whatever but not the Zaku or Gundam.

The toy boom with Gundam took off with Gundam Wing because they actually had the main Gundams available. You could buy any of the Wing boys suits in any format you liked. (And that is even why Battle Damaged took off because they could sell Wing Zero twice.) So they had the stupid idea that if they limited the availability of the popular suits and over-produced the unpopular suits, people would buy the unpopular suits AND the popular suits. Not only did they do this, they did this with G Gundam where you're far less likely to get people buying random mook suits because they look cool because... let's be honest, Zebra Gundam ain't selling poo poo to someone not buying it ironically.

That's odd because that's where I got my 1/60th scale non-battle-damaged God Gundam and Maxter

They did sell the protagonist stuff, it is just they massive underproduced it. Model kits also did slightly better in that regards than the actual toys but were understocked in general.

Yeah I remember the Target stores around here had tons of Mandala Gundams and whatever that one crazy ball they force Allenby to pilot was (Wendell?)

Probably because Bandai thought it'd be like Transformers and everyone would buy the 3rd redeco of the Scud gundam just so they could have the whole set.
