It took a lot of shit to get Judau to actually focus on the task at hand. He eventually shapes up, but it wasn't easy.

yeah, hopefully i'll eventually get to that part, i'm going to take a break. it's not fun forcing myself to watch a show. feels like an rpg grind
but it's cool to have this gundam community, w/o it i doubt i would even give this show a chance this long.

Oh shit, he hasn't seen Unicorn, I forgot.
Save it until after you see episode 3 of Unicorn.

Yeah I didn't like the show at all my first time either. After the second time through I appreciate it more but it's never hitting my top list.
This is what makes ZZ good in my opinion.
Everything both before and after its so serious I cant take UC seriously. Not everyone in this universe can be so fucking misrable or serious at all times and ZZ allows for someone in this goddess forsaken timeline not always be so bad off.
It also contrasts nicely with the second half and makes it so when the series goes dark its way more pronounced and meaningful then things getting fucked from the word go and staying at a low for 50 straight eps.

This is essentially a synopsis of Victory Gundam.

no worries! appreciate the gesture also nice build of 00
i think as i get to the second half i'd be able to go back and re-watch.
yeah, i agree not to have everything so dark, but for a first time thru watcher, it's hard to predict if this would recover and it looks like a train-wreck so far. thankfully, i got every in this community to give me the heads up that it gets better.
here's some pic of an IBO kit coming up:

I know many disagree but to me it is very similar to the Leo, and the purple giving it that Space Leo vibe makes me want it bad.

There aren't nearly enough mobile suits that use lances. That's probably why I like the Late UC ones a lot.

IBO's cool if for nothing else but the weapon variety. Not having beam weaponry means you get to play with more conventional weapons. Without having to justify why they can't just strap beam rifles to everything, anyway.
The Graze is one of my favorite designs in quite a while, but I'm honestly starting to get a little tired of all these variants of it. It looks good in purple, though.

Reminds me of Unit 01
It took me two tries to get through ZZ. The first time I got through Moon Moon then just couldn't push any further. It wasn't until like a year later that I actually made it through the whole series. The exact same thing happened with Victory, though I came out liking Victory more than how I felt watching ZZ.
On a side note, I typically really dislike any docking mechanics in Gundam. I get that the core fighter is a staple thing in Gundam, especially UC, but I always feel like it is a holdover from the old Super Robot shows. ZZ was especially bad about it. A lot of the time they would take forever to launch all the parts to from the ZZ and all I could think of was, "Why aren't the enemy just letting them dock?" Victory might be the only Gundam series where I liked the transformations/docking. They use the separation and combinations in more creative ways to at least make it justifiable. The V1 pretty much being an expendable mass production suit allowed them to sacrifice pieces whenever they wanted.
I built this recently too. It's such a fantastic kit. It's really astounding the amount of complexity packed into such a small package

So I finally started 00. The opening song is pretty nice, I haven't heard L'Arc-en-Ciel in a while.

yeah, not a bid fan either of the docking in ZZ esp during battles.
i'm watching ep. 24
wow, first time i saw Judau get KO'd... Taman just punched him once in the gut
shocking!
edit: Puru pushing Taman's sister away from Judau after she finds him w/ the core fighter. LOL
Man, you'd struggle with Xabungle and parts of L-Gaim.

Why does Exia need both a physical sword and a beam saber?
The Sum of Zero
Member
There's a reason most of the UC suits after 0079 ditched the Core Fighter. I dig the way The Origin uses it. It's not a docking item, but a multi-purpose fighter that also can be put in a MS to be used as an escape pod.

you've been building like a madman, enjoy the games
lol, maybe i'll preview them next =)
ZZ up to episode 37
how do they just take off w/o Capt. Bright?
i know Beecha needs first hand experience on the bridge but this is ridiculous going into a major war...
ZZ just makes it like you need no organizational skills what so ever. i was willing to tolerate them being able to instantly fly bc they may be newtypes. but being captain of a ship, command of a bridge, ZZ makes it look like a complete joke. at least Char's Counter Attack, Char always respects Bright's strategy and experience.
i guess guess you don't need Capt. Picard, just put wesley crusher against the borg. lol

It's like the show didn't know how shit Beecha and Mondo were. At least the Zanscare knew how to deal with insubordination.
Sat down and knocked out RG Strike Rouge's lower body.
Amazing how much more pink it is then the MG RM, and given my loves of pinks it has made the build super enjoyable.
I even have been decaling the gal since David was so nice to hook me up with it and I figure if im going to decal one RG it would be this one lol.

I prefer it to Aile Strike plus Strike Roughe Otowri is one of the few Gundam+backpack in SEED that I like.

Ready for dat jazz.
Episode 3 is also dated - March 18. Sooner than I expected!
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I won't stand for any bad words towards Beecha, dude's boss.
Y-yeah he was kind of a traitor, but remember he's still a kid. Kids don't know what they want at that age.

In addition to what Sum of Zero said, just because it's a Gundam thing that even in universes with beam sabers, sometimes a physical blade is just better (or a physical blade + a beam).
Unless you already knew that and were just looking for an in-universe explanation in which case ignore me.

ZZ watching ep. 43 now, i just gotta comment before resuming. puru two has the most awkward laugh in this episode =D
watch the scene when she facing Chara, puru two's taunting chuckle is too funny. i'm going to try and laugh like this in the future.

So how so you like that Glemmy Toto? Asshole can't even put a towel on the puru clones while he's talking to them naked.

i don't feel his too convincing as a leader. especially from where he started as a pampered boy who was after roux. but then again ZZ made beecha captain...
it'll be more realistic is someone was behind the scenes manipulation Glemmy... but him the mastermind of a coup, no...
This is actually a common thing for people even among ZZ fans.
Many suspect its because Char was supposedly going to be in ZZ and have an active role but then CCA got green lit and his whole character was pulled.
So the villians got hastily stiched together with Haman being amazing and Glemy.....well being Glemy.
davidwhangchoi

i read about Char being held out for the movie. just kinda weak w/o him.
finished ZZ, where is Judau going w/ Roux? is just feels so rushed...
yeah, i didn't like ZZ too much... very anti-climatic. ending should have some sorta finale... did they run out of episode air time, so Zabi family girl was missing, is this it, no more story?
so confused... =/

They are headed to Mars. They want to avoid fighting Death though they like everyone learn about running.
