It's okay to be wrong sometimes
Indeed.
It was well done.
Wing VS Build was the high point for me but I adored nearly everything from Zaku Amazing and Kampher Amazing.
This is prevalent in S1/S2. Much more in S2 because the planning was haphazard, but it was to be expected.
S1 they ragged on Dark Matter Exia for "playing to win" and not respecting the spirit of the competition by pretty much going all out/asshole tactics.
Forgetting in Episode 6, Zaku II Amazing was getting shower-fucked with missiles and long range arty fire and Meijin had to close in.
S2 they ragged on Mega-Shiki for being a gunpla that was paid for and made. Forgetting that Mr. Chicken-how-are-you quite literally got an S-tier character who he instantly synced with dropped into his hand.
Like damn, man.
It's cool to like it.
But it really didn't do jack.
Like, this thing could be a GM and the fight would not be any different. It was just a generic SUPER STRONG DARK ENERGY FINAL DEMON BOSS.
I just got around to watching the TRY OVA. I thought it did a pretty good job in terms of humor. It got me to laugh quite a few more times then I expected. I can't say I was impressed with any of the action scenes though. The climax especially just felt like a complete rehash of the end of season 1. All in all I'd say it was OK, but nothing to write home about IMO.
You mean the Artistic Gunpla Grand Prix Champion
I'm gonna puke. Everyone really was jerking him off, even Meijin.
Hear hear.
That's because you're such a wing fangirl. They could have had a fight were two kids were literally smashing an Altron and Wing against each other and you'd proclaim it best fight of the show ;P
Get'em!
Nah, Build vs Wing was the best. Loved how even though the idol pointed out Felinni could intentionally lose he wasn't about that life and made them earn it.
When their Gunpla were going at it and getting destroyed piece by piece until they were just slamming their fists against each other was awesome. Loved Sei even apologizing and thanking the Star Build Strike afterwards. Shounen heart

i was tempted to skip some of the fight stuff it wasnt as cool as the one during the episodes, , like the coolest moment was Sakai about to take on the falling colony.
Also the random Celestial Being moment was greaat.
Weirdly I hate Wing TV.
In fact Wing TV is one of the most boring leads in Gundam. That fight is made because of Ricardo and Reiji.
Like Wing VS Queb suckkkkkkked.
Continuing my UC marathon;
Working my way through Zeta for the first time, really enjoyed the first 5 episodes so far. The animation is a real step up from 0079. The only thing I don't care for is the way they really go all in on making the Titans as unlikeably awful as possible, they just seem cartoonishly evil.

Gundam Seed Destiny 1
I missed Shinn. Alright hopefully this time I wont stop halfway through. Since its on daisuki I should be able to get through it in two or so weeks like I did Wing, VIFAM, and Gundam Seed.
Was the scene in Seed with Shinn and his family there originally or added afterwards, thats some good planning if it was always there and they knew theyd do a sequel with Shinn.

SEED caught Sunrise by surprise and they rushed Destiny into production to capatalize.
Finished panel lining and coating. one of the few kits where I wasn't a fan of the decals.
apparently I have the front skirts reverssed oops
Lol indeed you do.
Still looks better then the goofy TV version
isn't this the tv version featured in the anime?
It's color scheme is based on it but no.
If you take a close look Flow that is the exact same Model as the Kai you ordered P Bandai save the color, Gatling arms and the chest cavity has four Gatling vs 2.
All of the EW suits are identical the movie versions aside from colors and accessories.

Mindblown! see this is why I need to hurry and rewatch gundam wing.
Damn definitely see what you are talking about
To be fair Flow Heavy arms is pretty easy to mistake and a ton of people feel they are close enough to swap with out issue.
To this day there has never been anything released in MG quality or above that is based on the TV line art for any of the Wing Designs aside from Wing Zero EW (this even includes Wing EW/Ver Ka).
I'm just a super freak Katoki fan so his designs stick out to me even the variants.
Prometheus is easily Katoki's most interest HA design sadly we will likely never get it in model form.

If you RG Sinanju ppl need a Rocket Bazooka and don't want to mess with P-Bandai, System Weapon 007 includes one.
I will always remember this, and Prometheus is too overthetop. I can't even imagine the price on that
As a P Bandai? Yeah that would be brutal.
yea, plus building it/trying to get the weapons to hold

I've probably seen it four times so far.
Shinn would've NEVER survived Zeta Gundam.
A+ advice
A++ waifu as avatar
10/10 would read posts again
Oh man, thank you for telling me this. You're a hero.
It will forever be a fail that Heine and his amazing Destiny didn't get the actual role damn it.

Shin should've gotten the ass whupping that Wong put down on Kamille.
Misa, Miria and Sheryl are best Macross waifu's.
Looking I hate Shinn probably more then anyone else on Gaf but that wouldn't have helped.
Unless someone gave Luna Maria the bitch slap from hell so strong it knocks the taste out of her mouth and then put the pacifier in Rey's mouth and put the baby to his nap time then just fixing one third of the issues wouldn't have done much.

Well I'm pretty sure either Paptimus or Kamille would've slapped the shit out of Lunamaria. Bright could've slapped Rey or Bask could've punched him. Those usually tend to work. Shit Emma could've slapped all of them, she's not above them corrections.
Waifu almost seems like the wrong term for Misa actually
What do you say if your feelings are more along the lines of "I would actually marry this person and feel completely fulfilled emotionally if they were a person and not a Japanimation"
Give me Emma or Dorothy as their CO and personal trainer and then I'd watch that show for sure.

Yeah Misa is too good to be some fling, that woman's a forever girl. I watched...well Robotech's Macross and I got so fucking mad at Rick's bullshit. And yeah if I knew a Misa, god damn I'd do my best to keep her, woman had it all, brain's, beauty, patience, could fucking cook. Only thing she couldn't do was pilot a Valkyrie. I'd almost say the same about Miria, but she's too hot blooded, throwing babies and shit.
You and me both fucking know Dorothy would've fucking stabbed Shinn.

She would have sacrificed his bitch ass just like she did her Grandpa and gave Destiny to Heine and all would be right in the world.

"Shinn! Who dafuq you think you are talking to me like that?!"
"I don't have to listen to you, you're in charge, you're always wrong! Stop telling me what to do!"
"I don't have to tolerate this shit. Guards, merc dis fool!"
I always though Dorothy was sad about her granddad dying. Guess she didn't care at all then. Wow.
I think she did in her own way.
Dorothy is very damaged psychologically and emotionally. She is in real world terms easily the most dangerous and haunting Wing character when you see what she can and will do to see her vision through.
It's the reason why y'all are wrong and it's clear she is the best Gundam Waifu.
JadedWriter

But I have many many Gundam waifus and yes she's on that list. I just think she's a bit of a Katejina expy. How much is explained about Dorothy's character? I never really got the sense that she was that insane till much later in the series when she joins up with Zechs and even then she didn't seem insane.
Dorothy has several moments that she shows she unhinged.
It's very much the oppisite of Heero and him not talking but acting.
If you listen to her story of her father dying, convincing her Grand Father to go to space the way she tries out Heero and nearly pierces his eye with a sword.
Not to mention her entire "friendship" with Relena is predicated on the notion of being the Yin to Relena's Yang.
Where Relena has to learn to accept that violence is needed at times (and always fails to truly learn it) Dorothy can never truly let go of fighting and death.
Her pulling unarmed people into the firing range of the Serpents show this that even in her sanity her ideas and goals will never be worth sacrificing for another's safety.

When you put it that way she does seem like the extreme opposite of Relena. Relena has actual friends where Relena was probably the only person in a long time willing to put up with Dorothy though. Dorothy strikes me as a woman that doesn't really know how to be a woman so to speak. She looks feminine but isn't. I'm not saying thoughts of war and violence are gender exclusive or anything, but she pretty much strikes me as a person that really believed in Treize's ideals growing up only for them to be pretty distorted versions of them. She's enamored with war, but not the "romanticism" of it that Treize is. She just seems to like the primal aspects of humanity, but she versed enough in being a woman to appear feminine, I'm probably not making sense at all.

But I still don't think she's Zanscare levels of crazy.

It's not 100% the same since the barrel in System Weapon 007 is grey and the P-Bandai barrel is white, maybe look at the box or product shots first, but it looks good to me. And I bet the rifle that comes with the RG Sinanju will combine with the System Weapon 007 bazooka. The HG Sinanju rifle does, anyway.
