So I've been watching ZZ as well for the first time and I'm up to episode 29.

I mean... yeah, it's gotten better, but I still absolutely want to strangle these goddamn kids though. Glemy too. And especially Puru.

Elle is alright though.

Glemy is probably my most hated villain. That dude is just straight up fucking disgusting.

Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team

What a great OVA. I really started to fall in love with it around the half way point once everything is established and begins to ramp up. Not to mention how beautiful it looks.

The Gouf is probably my favorite of the traditional Zeon suits, and Seeing the Gouf Custom in action was truly something special.

As for what I will watch next it will probably F91, and as for a show I may finally break down and watch Turn A already.
 
Help me out on this one GundamGAF, recently I started running a gundam campaing for GGG (an esque SRW RPG) and decided to use some gundam toys I bought many many many years, thing is this toys were like really cheap, like for a dollar or less.

I don't know if they are original products (probably not) but getting my hands on some more will really help my campaing shine. However I don't know how these are called.

Also 08th Ms is amazing and the Gouf custom is my favorite UC Ms

As beautiful as Unicorn looks, I'll always have a special place in my heart for the hand animated goodness of 08th MS Team and Stardust Memories

08th MS Team is overall my favorite OVA graphically. It edges out Stardust Memory on the character art plus ground based fights must be harder to animate than space battles.
 
I would buy a gouf custom 3.0. I hear the 2.0 mg has a bunch of problems or w.e.

The 2.0 Gouf is basically a 2.0 Zaku with fewer weapons.
The Gouf Custom MG is from considerably earlier, 2001. The main issue is that it is something of a brick kit if you want to pose it with the minigun attached. It's just way too heavy to hold any pose that's not this one:

I just finished Aldnoah.Zero, and think it should have stopped at the first season. The second season really ramps up the empty drama, and introduces characters that you never actually understand who they are. Skip this series if it was on your watch list.

Okay ZZ has been legitimately pretty great since Moon Moon ended. The tone has shifted especially since they got down to Earth.

Just finished the episode in the desert with Masai and it was top tier stuff, possibly one of the best episodes yet - including Zeta.

Start of episode 27 and the
foreshadowing hinting at Leina dying is not so subtle.

That seems to be the major consensus on the series. A shame, really.

Aldnoah.Zero is like someone was listening three rooms over to a draft script of Iron Blooded Orphans...or maybe it was the other way around.

Yeah luckily the last half of this is pretty good.

I haven't seen the second season yet but the main character strikes me as an autistic sociopath.

So I accidentally sanded the nubs of the sliding cockpit door of the RG Gelgoog, after just doing a similar mistake with another kit a couple of weeks ago ( ._.)
I should not cut a part from the sprue if I'm not going to clean it immediately.
 
I don't like 08th MS team. They copped out with ground gundams. The plot is disjointed and the romance was dumb. The main villain sucked too.

I do like the OP alot though.

VOTOMS arc 2 is a better version of "Vietnam with mechs"

A Gunpla mountain arrived at my house this weekend;

GM Sniper II
Master Gundam and Fuunsaiki
Origin Dom Prototype
Banshee Destroy Mode
Wing Gundam Fenice
SDEX Wing Gundam Zero EW

The Sniper II is a pretty rad kit- it's rare for a figure of a sniper to pose holding a rifle convincing but it pulls it off really well, and his doofy little robot buddy is a fun bonus.


This looks...better than the Scramble itself, I guess? Bandai is pushing this suit as hard as it can, but I don't think I've seen anyone say a single positive thing about it.

Judau kicking some ass in the Salt Lake episode of ZZ. He's definitely come a long way since Episode 1. The whole show has, loving it at the moment.

Mobile Suit Gundam F91

f91-n-copy.jpg


Aside from the plot moving at break neck speed, I found myself enjoying it a fair amount. The characters were serviceable though due to the short time we have with a cast that large they don't get much time to grow. I am a fan of the setting, I also really liked some the mobile suit designs. Certainly worth a watch if not for the animation quality alone. I suppose this means I can get to reading crossbone at some point in the future.

Crossbone is good!

So I was bored and decided to start Crossbone sooner rather than later.

As far as the first chapter goes I already like it and am looking forward to more. Its interesting to see some stuff happen at Jupiter since its always just mentioned in the previous UC shows I've seen.

HLJ's Summer Sale is going on right now. Nothing too notable for gundam this time. Some HGs, a few RDs. The biggest thing was probably MG Freedom 2.0, but that's sold out.

I did snag a RG Qan[T] for $15. It's not my favorite design, but can't complain at that price. Will ship it when Transformers MP Optimus Primal hits in October. Probably going to grab RG Sinanju then too.

ZZ Episode 34.

That Kamille reintroduction holy crap, I legit got shivers. The whole episode was fantastic, show keeps getting better.

Accidentally watched the preview which spoiled Hayato dying. Fucking hell why did they think this was a good idea?
 
5 things initially, but it seems 2 went on backorder and are thus off the sale. They might come back in before the 30th, though.

Don't know if there's anything interesting there.
thanks guys!

Wow, the colony drop stuff in ZZ was intense, really well done.

You know, if not for the first half I might say I like ZZ more than Z overall.

That first half is not great. ZZ is good the second time. I like the cast of Zeta better though.
I'm actually really enjoying the cast in this post episode 20 or so. Judau is up there with Kamille in terms of protagonist for me.

The Earth parts were amazing as well, my favorite Earth section from the UC so far.

Episode 37 spoilers.

But wtf was that Leina just chilling out on the beach with Sayla?

That part spoilered makes no damn sense at all though. It's like she used the instant transmission to appear just in the nick of time and then teleport to safety. I have my own reasons for liking Kamille more than Judau. I think you're getting pretty close to that reason as well, but you'll probably just read that situation differently than me, though I'm not the only person that's annoyed by it. How do you like nutty ass Chara?
