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!"

Caros posted: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.

Shinjobi posted: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." 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. Some people hate fun I guess vv

I'm slightly disappointed that Mao didn't Show up with some Gundam X Maoh/Remius abomination and fight with that. But the Maoh sword is okay I guess. Looks like Nils is finally getting gunpla, though.

Dear lord, what is the smallest amount of plastic that can theoretically be controlled by the plavsky system? Other than going against the spirit of the game, what's to prevent someone from making a Gundam filled with tiny dudes with monofilament wire, or like 30 nukes?

It probably helps that they're pulling more from Allenby than anyone from AGE or UC for Ai[l|n]a's character. I'm laying good odds that she's going to break through the embody system next episode with hot-blooded fighting spirit.

I wonder if at this point Sei just has a case full of rifles/shields/railguns back at the hotel room so he can swap them out after every fight, because they appear to be made out of the same stuff they used to make Leos.

TARDISman posted: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.

This is basically Eureka Seven. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYzZ4gIt1uM 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.

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.

It would be amazing if not!Reiji was from America originally, but still a fan of the series, then they could make tons of localization jokes Yeah that's the God Gundam's chestpiece and head crest. It just looks really odd without the core booster backpack and the wristguards.

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

Probably the worst part is that you know it's a generational show so it's not a question of if they'll get together. It's which one of the women will get chosen as the mother and moved permanently to the sidelines.

That's just the Choginga Gurren Lagann, the TTGL would still be many times larger than the solar system at 1/144th scale.

PoptartsNinja posted: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.

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

ImpAtom posted: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.
