, but that's literally no different from almost every Cyber Newtype ever. And I don't really agree that we're supposed to hate him, otherwise the show wouldn't have attempted to characterize him with all those "tragic" half-Martian backstory and bonding with Gaelio, as half-assed as those scenes were.
Even aside from whatever personality or lack thereof, I can still like him as a character that adds actual tension to a seemingly tension-less struggle that's been most of the show.

There could be collateral damage from him bringing an Ahab Reactor in. Traffic lights going off could cause wrecks and deaths. Hospitals with people on life support will die too. Even Tekkadan has had like no collateral damage. They've acted very much like a military organization. Ein has no sense of right and wrong anymore. Just revenge. His sense of duty is gone. That's what got him into the situation in the first place. I do dislike him thoroughly. Don't let your shit baggage get other people killed, fuckface.

But everything they did with his personality and backstory, even as little as it was, was thrown away when they made him Throne Ein. Hell even before he became a robot the one redeeming thing he did was to save Gali Gali, and really the characterization from that was more abut Gaelio.
Now he is as insane as you can get, and there is no reason to like him. He charged into the city (RangerBAD already mentioned why this is a problem) not to fight orphans, but to kill Kudelia who is not involved in the combat, and doesn't even really have a way to defend herself. Just so he can get revenge for someone who didn't even want to fight child soldiers in the first place.
I do get that he is really the first actual threat in the show, and I appreciate that, but as a character I fucking hate Ein. Gaelio is cool though, I've come around on him.
hey gundamGAF,
i finally cleared my gunpla table. it was tough lugging an 80 pound CRT around the room. lol
the weather is warmer and going to finish this RG kit, i still want to game tonight and it might get cold this week again but at least got my parts out and ready to go in case =)
here's where i last left off and a full sized pic of x105 just because i got nothing better to do =P
Those murmurs of an RG Unicorn later this year might not be true then if we're getting this beast in June. It's not out of the question. gg did say it's certain we're getting an RG from the Unicorn series this year (... albeit with absolutely no source), and I can't imagine not releasing the Unicorn itself first.

Hey guys, new in here. So I've finished Zeta and the ending left me feeling hollow and ZZ's goofiness isn't helping. Should take a break from ZZ? Is Stardust Memory okay to watch at this point? Because I've read that I should watch Gundam in production order because some of the spin-offs spoil the main story.

ZZ is great though. The silliness lasts for a while, but I think it is probably just as good as Zeta Gundam overall.
You could probably watch Stardust Memory now, it wouldn't spoil anything at this point, since the only reference it makes to other works is teasing some Zeta stuff. To be honest though, the only reason to watch Stardust Memory is for the well-animated action scenes. The story and characters are pretty bad.
If you are getting burned out on UC Gundam though, you can always watch an AU Gundam series such as G Gundam for a change of pace.

Yeah I've read that ZZ gets better but I'll probably take a break and watch Stardust Memory although I've read some conflicting opinions, some love it and others hate it. I've enjoyed the Gundam OVAs way more but maybe it's because I've only seen the really good ones (War in the Pocket, MS Team), I really liked the OP of Stardust Memory so my expectations are high. Thanks!
if you look back a few pages i was saying the same exact thing at the same place. i was about to give up bc it was just too tough to watch not knowing if things will change. i think about 15 is when things begin to change. trust me, i know it was hard. i was posting here like crazy. lol
star dust is my favorite of all time. i watched that so many times.
you're almost there! just a few more episodes.
Stardust Memory leads into Zeta, so it's okay to watch. It's the story of Kou not eating his goddamn carrots, stopping yet another revival of Zeon, and has a number of seconds about the formation of the Titans.
It's pretty alright. Top notch mecha design and a couple of interesting characters. The characterization is pretty uneven, however, because of the director changing some way through, and it's fairly noticeable. It's only 13 episodes, so it's not that much to put up with. Watch it for the opening/ending songs, if nothing else.
Don't come to me just 'cause you're lonely tonight, lonely's only part of your game~

To be fair, a RG Unicorn would basically be a frag grenade.
I could have lived without another HG Unicorn, but I guess you don't have to buy two kits to make FA with red psychoframe now. The stickers do help it.
I don't think the HG Full Armor Release with that decal set is signaling no RG and I think Bandai is still going to attempt it.
I don't think we'll see a FA version of the RG, though. Asking for a transformation at 1/144 scale probably means the idea of holding all that equipment is too much of an ask.
try and at least panel line the HG's... it's pretty easy. the decals for RG are the most time consuming bc of the trimming that needs to be done but it's worth doing to make it stand out.

It's not so much that I don't do it, just that I don't do it right away. Panel lining I might put off for a few days to a couple of months depending on my mood, and how much I like a kit. Decaling really depends on how much I like a kit. It'll get done eventually.
