Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team 7

Shiro Amada: Awesome Dude



Even if it got pretty deep into some "can love bloom, even on the battlefield" schtick (

Spoiler

The writers show some real creativity in getting a hot spring scene on an isolated, snowy mountaintop

), I really like the way Shiro and Aina's relationship is handled. They're not naive about what the war represents, and they know exactly why they're both fighting. But that has nothing to do with how they feel for each other.

I love this show so much. It's just the right mix of sci-fi space opera and front-line grit.

Is it a spinoff series from another Gundam show?

It's an OVA series set in the Universal Century timeline, but I'm pretty sure all the characters are original.

Oh okay, it shall be the next Gundam I'll watch then.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Looks like they're finally going back to the 2/3 of the first novel.

So, 8, 9, and 10 for main story, 11 for Morning Dew Girl side story, 12 to wrap up SAO?

 

[sonicmj1]

A fine selection, sir.

It's been my first direct exposure to UC Gundam, but it's been fantastic so far. It's a nice mix of WWII/Vietnam war movie cliche and Gundam sci-fi.

Yeah that would be the end of the first cour which will lead to second cour, ALO!

 

[PoeticProse22]

Too bad ALO is my least favorite arc. It should provide a pretty great final episode or so for the show though.

Spoiler

Of course, the significant involvement of worst girl in the place of best girl doesn't help. Although, being able to watch Suguha being "Kanna'ed" multiple times will be amazing.

 

[BGBW]

Does ALO have the potential for even more nitpicking?

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Does ALO have the potential for even more nitpicking?

I dunno enough about it to really say. It does have the potential to show a truly epic amount of human suffering, though.

 

[PoeticProse22]

Does ALO have the potential for even more nitpicking?

Definitely.

 

[Hellsing321]

Hyouka 17

An extremely impressive finish to a very awesome arc. The way it brought everything together and managed to tie the themes that ran throughout all the different subplots was very fun to watch unfold. Looks like its back to boring old Hyouka now.

Crow: *aho... aho... aho...*

 

[Emitan]

I know right? Everyone knows best girl is Yui..

Spoiler

Best girl is still Yui

Best girl

 

[jman2050]

So in other words: Terrible juvenile fiction, about vampires, main character has their choice of supernatural mates and they're all horribad, there is a direct link for the target market between reading it and never having sex, readers masturbate over it way too much.

You know, for some reason, I'm pretty sure there was an anime JUST LIKE THIS two, maybe three years ago. But I can't quite place the title.

This is why execution matters!

 

[RurouniZel]

Ayano is best girl. Tsundere yuri <3

 

[jman2050]

Kyouko, Sakurako, and Ayano are best girls. Akarin, Yui, and Hiwamari are good. Glasses girls are terrible. Chinatsu is unholy spawn.

 

[amishpriest99]

It really is. My favorite OST in anime along with equally awesome Destiny OST.

The OST is one of the few redeemable parts of Destiny. Really quite good. The OP's, on the other hand...well, Pride is ok.

 

[Defuser]

Does ALO have the potential for even more nitpicking?

Amazing amount of delicious tears and suffering.

 

[Emitan]

Ayano's puns are dumb.

 

[jbug617]

Best girl

I agree

 

[RurouniZel]

Ayano's puns are dumb.

((((&#65307;&#65439;&#1044;&#65439)))))). I like her puns...

 

[Defuser]

Ayano is forever best girl. Such a Tsundere.

"TOSHINO KYOUKO!"

 

[Canis lupus]

A fine selection, sir.

It's been my first direct exposure to UC Gundam, but it's been fantastic so far. It's a nice mix of WWII/Vietnam war movie cliche and Gundam sci-fi.

Sounds awesome ^_^

 

[Mandoric]

Glasses girls are terrible.

[PoeticProse22]

Yui is best girl.
Kyouko, Sakurako, Ayano, and Himawari are great.
Akari and Chitose are good.
Chinatsu is awful.

Amazing amount of delicious tears and suffering.

So incredibly true.

 

[Emitan]

Why does everyone hate China-chan?

;A;

 

[amishpriest99]

It also has one of my favorite Gundam OP's.

 

[Brazil]

Why does everyone hate China-chan?

;A;

It's probably related to the fact that she's a horrible human being.

 

[Emitan]

She knows who the best girl is. She can't be terrible.

 

[duckroll]

SAO - 08 PV

Glad to see second-worst-girl is back where she belongs - in the fucking kitchen.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Amazing amount of delicious tears and suffering.

I know it won't happen, but I really wish this would end up with us getting a new "Code Geass Nina" face.

 

[Defuser]

Why does everyone hate China-chan?

;A;

Terrible attitude.
Terrible at drawing.
Given the chance she will rape without hesitation.

 

[duckroll]

More Magi shilling, still no new anime footage.

Anything in the Honeycomb shilling other than the new key visual?

 

[Emitan]

Terrible attitude.

Given the chance she will rape without hesitation.

But was it legitimate rape?

 

[Brazil]

But was it legitimate rape?

This is the one debate we need to join AnimeGAF and the rest of GAF together in harmony.

 

[duckroll]

Anything in the Honeycomb shilling other than the new key visual?

I dunno, the web version isn't updated yet. Not like it usually has anything worthwhile anyway.

 

[jman2050]

Behold: the thought processes of someone who believes

I'm not seeing the connection.

I'll let /a/ speak for me for this one

Nice now to watch FMP fumoffu, Rugby episode or EVERYONE'S GONNA DIE!! episode, now which do I choose.

Oh I know, both.

 

[Defuser]

Mor looks beautifully drawn. Right now I'm most curious is the voice cast which they still haven't reveal.

EDIT:
Can't unsee! Damn you chickdigger!

You have good taste .

"Ahou! Ahou!"

 

[-Minsc-]

This just in: the new Gintama movie is greenlit for 2013, based on an original story written by Sorachi.

Also, it says the Gintama anime will start airing again on October 4, but there's no idea if that means new episodes or just reruns.

*jaw_drop.gif*

Awesome. Based off an original story by Sorachi, I can't wait.


As for the anime returning, it's likely Yorinuki Gintama-san. On that note, I've read rumours it's taking the time slot of Sket Dance (and rumours of Sket Dance ending/hiatus).

Fuck. Goddamn optical illusions. Lolololol.
