They have different images. Lacus poised herself as one of those pure idol types. Sheryl plays up her sexuality.

As characters they're pretty different too. Sheryl is confident, proud, direct, dignified, mischievous, pro-active and as I mentioned before, sexual and very well aware of it. Lacus is... a little harder to get a handle on. At the beginning you could classify her as just altruistic but sheltered and innocent but the writers seemed to change her character midway into the first series into something of an emboldened leader who retained the politeness of her upbringing but somewhere along the way lost all her obliviousness of the world.

I do agree that Sheryl's way more interesting to watch though. She's a much more multi-faceted character, and I like her more too as she doesn't engage in the self-serving duplicity that Lacus is often accused of.

I even liked Sheryl's work ethic. She was a perfectionist, but at the end of the day you just couldn't deny her her fun time. Did Lacus ever do a concert sequence? I remember in Destiny when Meer was performing everybody noticed the difference immediately. Meer seemed to really like giving a show too. Makes me wish Meer didn't die, and Lacus would have all that stuff taken off of Meer and help her launch her own career. I'm quite sure that's what Sheryl would've done.

No bruh. Kira wasn't even cool enough to have an in show harem. Athrun, especially Kamille and even Uso beat him. Hell even the enemy women wanted to show Uso their tits.

By the time KiraXLacus was established all the other women realised Lacus would cut them if they even glanced at him. She's the Alpha in their relationship.

Only Kira sticks his dick in crazy, Flay was a fucking nutbag. Athrun knew what was up. Dude dodged Lacus and Lunamaria.

[Megalosaro]

Had F91 gotten a blu ray release in japan? I'd love to have it. Shame they're just releasing it and 0080 on dvd

 

[Beth Cyra]

Cool they are bringing Thunderbolt.

Surprised they didn't gran Build Fighter A to go with Build Fighters.

 

[tuffy]

F91 had a Japanese Blu Ray release a few years ago. 0080 hasn't had a Blu Ray release anywhere yet and there's no hint of one pending. Perhaps Sunrise hasn't tracked down the materials for it.

 

[muteki]

Hmm, I figured Victory was coming down the pipe soon.

 

[JadedWriter]

Hmm, I figured Victory was coming down the pipe soon.

We wish. Will probably come with an apology letter written by Tomino himself.

 

[novenD]

Re-Release of 0080 and Stardust GIMME. I can have my soul crushed in two different ways all over again!

also F91 YESSSSSSSSSS Midget Gundam here we goooo

A shame. I'd love to own all of UC on blu ray.

0083 BLURAY YUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Fjordson]

War in the Pocket only on DVD? Man =[

0083 on blu-ray is pretty hype though.

 

[Hagi]

Viz are getting Thunderbolt? shame it wasn't Vertical but it's cool we're even getting it. Hopefully we can get Federation Hooligans or Crossbone at some point.

It's nice to see the US getting all of these releases AnimeLimited are really slow (which is understandable given their size) so I wonder if it would be better for me to try and get the RightStuff releases instead.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Edit: Oh, someone already pointed out how 0080 never even had a blu ray release in Japan. Nvm me.

 

[pbayne]

20 episodes into SEED. Pretty good, hope they get off earth soon though. Holy god though, Flay is literal human garbage.

8 episodes into 00...er is this a parody? I bust my shit laughing every time someone mentions that characters are named fucking Lockon Stratos and Saji Crossroad. Did a 8 year old write these characters in a coloring book?

The names aren't even the problem. Well, season 1 is fine anyhow.

 

[Fjordson]

Speaking of Thunderbolt, just got the limited edition blu-ray set in the mail from RIghtStuf. Great looking package overall. Can't wait to watch it.

 

[pbayne]

Lol im not expecting much from it at this point besides maybe some semi-decent action scenes. Characters and plot are as throw away as it gets.
At least characters in the show openly acknowledge how stupid/contradictory Celestial Being's entire plan is though.

 

[tuffy]

Which reminds me my own copy of Thunderbolt arrived yesterday. It's very intense, fast-paced, and its mobile suit battles are absolutely incredible.

Can't find a livestream for the Sunrise panel today, guess I'll be scouring Twitter.

EDIT: Oh hey, finally time for "bL∞dy f8" as the ending in RE:0096.

 

[Hagi]

Rightstuff got Thunderbolt earlier than Japan? that's weird. Amazon jp aren't shipping mine till the 29th of July.

Looks that way. The official release date of the fancy import edition was July 2nd.

 

[Fjordson]

Yeah, RS shipped mine on Wednesday.

That's really cool. Luckily it costs me less to get it from Japan to the UK or I'd jump on that because I'm impatient.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i'm waiting for 0083 so bad!

 

[tuffy]

i'm waiting for 0083 so bad!

I'm waiting for that one too, actually (and I'm surprised we're getting it so soon). Though it has a lot of characters doing stupid things for plot reasons, I have some nostalgia for it and many of the battles are very well done.

 

[Hagi]

i'm waiting for 0083 so bad!

Stardust Memories was the first Gundam series I ever imported and enjoy it a lot so hopefully we get it here in less than 5 years.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

First bit of Gundam news out of the Sunrise panel:

RE:0096 is confirmed to be only 22 episodes.

EDIT: They showed some mobile suit silhouettes from IBO. These might be for season 2?

Well, looks like that's all, folks :/ was hoping for more on future US releases...

 

[Toxi]

17 episodes through IBO. It's neat.

Hey, where's DTL's comments on this week's Unicorn episode? DTL must have died from bishounen overload or something.

 

[JadedWriter]

I'm on ep 8 of cross ange. I hope Ange and Hilda don't have mom's that share a first name.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM UNICORN RE:0096 Episode 13 – Banagher Links, Soldier

Spoiler

why is marida piloting black unicorn, shes such a traitor. I wish Banagher would abandon audrey and focus on saving Marida, shes just right there. Let Riddhe deal with Audrey, actually Audrey might not even need anyone.

Bright being helpful is nice, Im glad Banagher will be back with the superior forces.

 

[JadedWriter]

Audrey needs no one...except that moment where she hopped out of a plane without a parachute.

He hasn't gotten to that point yet.


Heres a question for question for Gundamgaf. The Audhumla was a garuda class, yet z made no mention of it having the ability of going into space. How does it have this ability in uc?

In fact I think it was pretty clear it didn't have the ability in z.

 

[JadedWriter]

How many times did Audrey hop out of a plane? I only remember her doing it in the first ep.

In episode 1, she's in the zero gravity area of the colony aND gets blasted by a vent. In ova episode 5, she literally jumps out a plane

Oh no wonder why I don't remember. 5-7 are my least watched parts.

Poor Hilda. Goes out of her way to find her mom and she throws a fucking apple pie at her. And now some cops are stomping a mud hole in her.

 

[Bombless]

Season 2 is worse than you think it could be.

And then there's Trailblazer.

 

[JadedWriter]

And then there's Trailblazer.

Fuck that fucking traumatizing dumpster fire.

How in the future of Cross Ange is Tusk just running around with WWII era German potato masher hand grenades?

Now some chick with bat wings is having sex with some dude that calls her mom and is strangling his sister with hentai tentacles. This shit really does just spastically tap dance between watchable and pure utter dog shit.

Seed 31

Wow wow wow slow the fuck down and back up a minute.

I pray there's a damn good explanation as to how the fuck did Kira not only survive a point blank suicide explosion but also somehow magically re-appeared in ZAFT HQ?

I cant wait for Daisuki Premium so I can added Seed to my yearly anime rewatches as I patiently wait for rightstuf to bring me the discs.
