G-Reco does indeed look interesting although it doesn't really... feel UC to me, much like Turn A (which is an interesting case on it's own, of course).
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing necessarily, but the initial impression I get is that I might just end up treating it like an AC (again like Turn A in that regard for me personally).
All very nice!Go grab the MG Universal Booster while you are at it. :P
I still have to build my MG Build Strike.
"Mobile Suit Gundam UC" episode 7 Trailer #1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9kA4UZA5kM#ws)
Oh I plan on it.
BTW, anyone want the Gundam Build Fighters OST?
Jesus Christ, I completely forgot this series existed. They take so [tornado fang]ing long to release the episodes, I forgot what even happened in the last episode I watched.
I haven't watched that series yet, but what the heck. Hook me up!
In a good way?Hell yes.
I finally started watching Gundam Build Fighters, and it's absolutely hilarious.
The seventh installment of the OAV series Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn, "Over the Rainbow," premieres on May 17. To celebrate, Nankai Electric Railway is remodeling one of its high-speed trains as the "Second Coming of the Red Comet" — a reference to Full Frontal, the leader of the Neo Zeon faction and the "second coming of Char Aznable" (who carries the title "Red Comet").
The train line is called the Limited Express Rapi:t and runs from Namba Station in Osaka to Osaka's international airport in Osaka Bay. The promotion doubles as a 20th anniversary commemoration for the line. The train will be painted red to evoke Full Frontal's mobile suit. What's more, three seats will be "reserved" in Car 5 for the Neo Zeon leaders Full Frontal, Mineva Zabi and Angelo Sauper — although in reality, Gundam fans can sit in them and take pictures, as long as they have bought "super seat" tickets.
In addition, Red Comet merchandise will be available at Namba and Kansai International Airport Stations. The scarf/towel and clear files below cost ¥1,000 and ¥700 ($9.82 and $6.87), respectively.
... And there's rumors for Build Fighters season 2.Yes, please. Preferably with the same writing team behihd season 1.
Well, I'm down.
... And there's rumors for Build Fighters season 2.
(https://i.imgur.com/gyxKGE2.jpg)IT'S BEING PREPARED LIKE THE KING THAT IT IS
Nobody wanted the HGUC Neo Zeong, did they?
I shudder to think about how big the MG of that is going to be...Highly unlikely.
Oh I know, most people actually have no problem with SEED when you get down to it. The disconnect is my love of Destiny. XD But it's cool, I "get" why people don't like Destiny and that's fine with me.
But yeah... Gundam Build Fighters. Holy crap. So good. So many unanswered questions about Arista and all that, I wanna know more. Fall can't come soon enough. (It was Fall, right?)
the use of stock footage certainly didn't help my low opinion
My disconnect is a few of the spin offs honestly, funny though for me I love G-Gundam for being silly over the top fun but I loathe Gundam Wing for be an example of everything that shouldn't be done in a Gundam series.
Personally, I couldn't stand G-Gundam when it aired on Toonami. I just couldn't get into it at all.
I still have yet to watch AGE. I'll get around to it eventually.
I am SO glad that I'm not alone on my dislike of G Gundam either.
TOYSUP!#03 富野インタビュー
・キャピタルタワー建設はRC元年。宇宙側から建設。人類はレール網周囲の居住区に移り住んで疲弊した大地と自然の回復を待つことにした
・UCのスペースノイドの生き残りというか残党の様な連中が月の裏側に拠点を作っていてキャピタルタワーと対立抗争する
・金星付近に水のコロニー、海のコロニーを設定。人類が地球を離れた際に心理的な面においても海を必要とするのではないか。
規模は直径100km深さ150mの薄い円盤状。
平べったい水の塊が宇宙に浮かんでいる絵を思い付いた時に「これでイケる!」手応えを感じた
・水のコロニーはまだ誰も映像にしてないから自慢していいよね。水深は潜水艦が行動可能な深さから割り出した。
宇宙を背景にして潜水艦が出せる 海の底には水を支える構造物があるので間を縫う戦闘シーンも出せる
・「レコンキスタ」にガンダムの再生、取り戻しの意味はない
・人口減・環境悪化の原因は、UCの間に覇権を巡って戦争をくりかえしたため
マニニィ 「ベルリィに負けるな! ルイン!」
ノレド 「ベルリィ! 三千五百回生を盛り上げろ!」
ベルリィ 「あっ!?」後ろからドツかれて、つんのめるが、踏み止まる。
ルイン 「(誰にいうともなく)年下を辱めるなよ!」
生徒A 「今の体の動きだって、尊敬しちゃうよぉ」
生徒B 「ルインこそ総監殿に取り入ろうって、ベルリィをかばうのか!? さすがだなぁ」
ベルリィ 「あれ!?」
ベルリィの素っ頓狂な声に一同が見る。石壁の上にノレドがライヤを引き上げて、踊らせようとしている。
□ 校庭の別の場所
生徒A 「あれ、どこの女子だ!?」
生徒B 「キャピタタァーが監視している女子のはずだぜ?」
ノレドたち 「(オフ)ウォォォォ!」
ルイン 「もういいから! マニニィ、この子どうしたんだよ」
マニニィ 「あたしたちのクラスに編入してきたんだよ。記憶が戻るまで面倒みろってさ」
宇宙エレベーターの本
・UC時代に資源を消費しつくして、地球は死滅寸前に追い込まれた。
そのためRCは重工業を再生させずにキャピタルタワー周辺に重工業を集中させた。
キャピタルはその為に資本の意。
・RCの人口は1/10以下。
・タワーがアマゾン上空なのは、緑が残っているのはその周辺だけだろうと思ったから。
・タワー基部は河と海の間を移動できる。1000年の間、移動は当然あったという想定。
・ゴンドラをMSの20mから逆算したが球は容積が小さいので失敗した。でも直さず連結すれば良い。
・宇宙エレベーターの速度は500km/h。
・キャピタルタワーの先端は宗教的聖域。
・今の10代の子供たちに50年後の地球をどうするかの解を求めてくれよという物語
ガンダム展
富野インタビュー
・G-レコでは「愛とロマンと冒険」を全面に打ち出す。
・現代文明の問題点を抽象的に示す事で子供たちに具体的にこういう問題を考えてくれというメッセージを示す。
・クンタラは人類が滅びかけた時に、共食いをやってエサになった人種。クンタラは人種差別問題、文明崩壊の恐ろしさ、人の業の深さの象徴。
(なぜそこまで深く突っ込むのか?)思春期に真剣に見てくれる人がいる。トリトンでアニメは思春期に強く訴えかけられる可能性を確信した。優れた物語というのはたとえ絵空事であっても「自分達がどう生きている現実をどう捉え対応していくか」という受け手側の思考を刺激する。現実に向かう回路を絶対に持っている。
つづき
・G-レコを作るにあたって「ガンダム離れ」を意識し「視聴者は子供だ」と徹底的に思った。
・手垢にまみれたガンダムだと対象年齢が上がってしまう。
・できるだけ物語の原理原則にもどるため若いスタッフの意見も無条件に聞いた部分もある。
・G-レコでは以前のガンダムに比べ「共存していかなければ」という皮膚感覚が強く出ている。
・共食いまでいった人類がその後千年を乗り越えてきた過程で「身近にいる人を許す」という感覚が育ってきたのではないか。
・物語背景として極限状態を描く事で「現実世界でそれはやりたくないね」という事を次世代に伝えたい。
・このじいちゃんだって、そこまで人が愚かしいとは思っていない。
Build Burning Gundam
The Gunpla used by Sekai Kamiki. Its level of completion is very high, and it can be controlled with ease even by Gunpla Battle beginners such as Sekai. The Build Burning Gundam excels in melee combat, where Sekai can make use of his Jigen Haoh school martial arts techniques.
Lighting Gundam
Yuuma Kousaka’s Gunpla, which has been built based on the Re-GZ from "MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: CHAR'S COUNTERATTACK." The Back Weapon System has been improved with Yuuma's own modifications. This Gunpla specializes in long-range shooting.
Winning Gundam
An original SD Gundam Gunpla built by Fumina Hoshino for the All-Japan Gunpla Battle Championship. It makes full use of its characteristics as an SD Gundam, and is loaded with various gimmicks such as recombining transformation.
Yuuma Kousaka
A second-year student at Seiho Academy middle school, and younger brother of China Kousaka. Yuuma is a gifted young Gunpla builder, with enough talent to win the Grand Prix in a modeling tournament's Artistic Gunpla Contest.
Well, Bananas did help for the first 100 years. The years after that...Bananas? o-O
Bananas? o-OYes. Bananas.
So what you're saying, is that Uso is to blame... :PHe beam saber'd female soldiers directly! :P
it's not hard to imagine the events of Unicorn were forgotten after a few decades (or however much time passed between Unicorn and F91 and then Victory) and things returned to their normal violent ways.
I haven't gotten around to watching the end of Unicorn yet, I'm assuming the contents of the Box were revealed to the whole population right?Yep, and it's only effective for 4 more years, since it's UC0096 by then.
Speaking of that, I saw the HG Neo Zeong model up close and in person today at the NYCC.I KNOW RIGHT
Thing is [tornado fang]ing massive. And that's the 1/144 version. If they made a Master Grade of that...
I KNOW RIGHT
Can't wait to build mine. -_-
Yea... All that came to naught, and the next 100 years was bloodier than the first 100.
YOU BOUGHT IT? Oh man, that's awesome.Back in their box, they will be.
DO YOU EVEN HAVE THE ROOM TO PLACE ALL THE RUNNERS SOMEWHERE?
And then they knock them selves back to the dark ages leading to Turn-A. XDBut first, we shall see how they fared in Reconguista. :P
Yea... All that came to naught, and the next 100 years was bloodier than the first 100.
a postwhich one are you again?
I like Build Fighters because it's what I was expecting out of G Gundam way back when. Nothing wrong with a series that doesn't take itself too seriously from time to time (and doesn't drag the plot out endlessly... again, G Gundam). I do tend to prefer the more serious oriented series overall though.
Didn't know who this tool was before and don't care about who he is now. Besides, whoever calls themselves a "Anime Scholar" probably needs a hole in the head. >_>The human head has five holes, though.

My eyes went straight to Fumina...You sure it's Fumina? 8D
But... That was all Turn A's doing, not Turn-X! D:
Looks like the next few gundam series Rightstuf is putting out have been revealed.I am down to buy all of those, roughly in that exact order of interest. Works out perfectly for me!
Looks like its 0079, followed by Zeta, ZZ, Victory and Gundam X.
Any series that had a dub to begin with (like 0079) will include its dub. In addition 0079 has been confirmed for Blu-Ray, but its unknown if that one episode Japan really hates is coming over.

You and I both. Not sure if I should watch the older stuff first or jump into Build Fighters and Build Fighters Try.It's a lot easier to watch the older and newer series on Gundam.info (http://en.gundam.info/index/white), as compared to in the past...
ALL OF YOU GO WATCH GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS AND THEN GUNDAM BUILD FIGHTERS TRY
Unicorn was my last series I've yet to watch Build outside of a few episodes.WATCH MORE 8U
I like it. Curious to see more.If this fan-made pic becomes a reality... Would be really cool.

There was a big war that once referred to as a "misfortune Festival warfare". Since the war ended, about 300 years.
Earth sphere loses the governing mechanism so far, a new world was built with a new dominant system. While the peace of the provisional early visit, in the Mars area away from the earth, it was while born spark a new battle.
Hero of the boy, a private security company Chryse guard security (following: CGS), which belongs to the crescent-Augustine, the girl tries to separate the Mars city Chryse under the reign of the earth's one force, Kuderia-Ai那 Byrne It receives the escort mission of Stein. However, CGS was attacked by armed organization Gyararuhorun that you want Tsumitoro buds of rebellion, would begin to withdraw by the crescent moon from children to the decoy. Boys leader, Olga eventually decided to coup have rebelled against adults who have oppressed themselves this opportunity. Crescent moon that was entrusted with repel of Gyararuhorun to Olga, challenge to fight using mobile suits of had been used as a power reactor of CGS "misfortune Festival war" era, the Gundam Barbados.
- The main characters are Mikazuki Augus and Orga Itsuka
- Name of the Gundam is Gundam Barbatos
- This Gundam is a high drama story of a bunch of child soldier orphans who band together to find a place they can call home
- The main Gundam is a relic from the previous war which starts as a wreck, but will evolve and get stronger as they defeat more enemies and upgrade the parts bit by bit
- The Gundam shares the same base frame as all other Mobile Suits, and so can cannibalize parts, weapons, and armor as the story progresses.
Mika's characterization in particular stands out. He's clearly the same archetype as Heero and Setsuna, but it somehow feels less forced. Maybe it's because we catch glimpses of more personality than just stoic.
So Anime Network posted this and wanted to see what you guys think and what you agree and disagree with. I personally kind of disagree with what they said about Gundam Wing but I kind of understand why they said it since Wing does have its flaws.

War in the Pocket was [tornado fang]ing awesome, and it really felt more down to earth than the others.Which ones did you see? Just so I can get a good idea of what to recommend. If you liked War in the Pocket though, I'd give 08th MS Team a go.
The ones I've seen, anyway. I'm curious about Turn A.
Which ones did you see? Just so I can get a good idea of what to recommend. If you liked War in the Pocket though, I'd give 08th MS Team a go.
Turn A... well, I enjoy it, but it's a little all over the place sometimes in the writing department.
Do keep in mind that I'm a big advocate of the UC timeline, I like most of it (yes, including Char's Counterattack, although it's admittedly more for the smooth fight animation and music). UC series are generally more down to earth than most of the AU series.

Kou is terrible though, yes. It's fascinating to watch though.
BUILD FIGHTERS/TRY DARNIT :W
The fights are good in Char's Counterattack, but it just completely ruins the character arcs Char built throughout 0079 & Zeta.
His development even in Zeta still felt like he was just using everyone even his closest allies despite his attempts try and show empathy (In the end he still failed to understand anything about human emotion).
BUILD FIGHTERS/TRY DARNIT :W
Hmm... Yeah, if I were to choose one series to suggest, I'd have to go with 08th MS Team. Not sure how you feel about late 70s / mid 80s animation, so I'm not sure if you'd like the early UC stuff.
Yeah, I really need to get on that.Oh, then you'll probably at least like Zeta. 0079 shows its age a lot, but I love it for that 8D You can probably keep it to the movie compilations for 0079, although characterization is lost in the process.
I have a lot of respect for old animation, back when they didn't take shortcuts.
Story Synopsis:
Universal Century 0079. Federation troops and Zeon forces carry out a fierce battle in the "Thunderbolt Sector" in what was once Side 4 "Mua". The "Thunderbolt Sector" is a shoal zone composed of the debris of destroyed space colonies, named for the electrical discharges from the metal debris. MS pilot Io Flemming is among the Federation soldiers who are dispatched to the area, where Zeon sniper Daryl Lorenz awaits them on the battlefield.

[Info via AnimeNewsNetwork (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-02-20/gundam-uc-anime-gets-tv-broadcast-with-new-opening-ending-themes/.98914)]
The official Gundam.info portal site announced on Sunday that the Mobile Suit Gundam UC video anime series is getting a television broadcast run in Japan under the new title Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn RE:0096 starting on April 3. The series will air on Sundays at 7:00 a.m. on TV Asahi and its affiliated networks.
The anime is being reedited for the television version, and it will also feature a new opening and ending theme with new animated footage. Tielle is performing the opening theme song "Into The Sky" and Sawano Hiroyuki will perform the ending theme song "Next 2U -eUC-".
Additionally, Shuuichi Ikeda will narrate the next episode preview footage each week as his character Full Frontal. The broadcasts will also have an optional on-screen data stream component. Viewers can use the data to play games online and win presents.
The series music composer, Hiroyuki Sawano, revealed on his website the series will air for 2 quarter of the year (6 months).
