Turn A gundam design is problematic at this point. No beam swords, no wings, an ugly mustache will keep it from being Age 2, seed, wing tier gundam good.

I don't think DTL has gotten far enough to make a logical statement about Turn A yet.

I think I asked this before... are the RE 1/100 line the new MG? or just a new nonsense grade?
Kinda wanted the Bawoo but told myself no transformable mobile suits for a while after the slight nightmare that was Aegis lol. (had no idea what those parts did til it was done)

X is okay, bit I think it undersells it's setting and premise
Like Beth said it's a new line meant to give representation to suits that are too unpopular or too expensive to make it in the MG line.

Ahh ok, thanks. So master grade size but a mid range of quality. Sounds about right for the grunt suits/B-tier suits.
Common 1/100 Gaplant! (seriously it only has a HG of its two variations from like 10+ years ago)

US dollar dropping. Dunno the yen conversion rate right now but blame trumpfuckery.
Yay for more expensive Gunpla?

I have seen the tears of time. Also Kamille is a good kid. Katz inherited his dumb assness after he showed up. Everyone dies in the end. Fa is cool. Extremely powerful newtype abilities makes you irresistible to the opposite sex. Char...probably is a pedophile. This show might have the record for most mobile suit designs in fifty episodes, they stop even bother naming them after awhile.

But seriously. MS Igloo was-- okay? It felt so weird how much more focused it was on the weapons rather than the people. We liked a few episodes, but ultimately came away underwhelmed. I don't know that I'd say it's awful, just very ho-hum. My dad was pretty lukewarm on it.Igloo 2 though was near painful for us. Didn't enjoy the whole Death God/Angel thing, everyone felt so melodramatic and over the top (the bad way) and the writing felt real lose. But now that that's out of the way we're onto 0080!
Now watch the movies and shed real tears as Tomino ruins the ending.
It's been awhile since I've watched ZZ but doesn't that technically make a happy ending for Zeta? The New Translation does what, makes it so Kamille isn't hit by the turn you into a vegetable beam by big Papti?
Yeah, which ruins ZZ since he's a vegetable until the end.
JadedWriter

I don't think Kamille utters a single word in ZZ so I think even in the end he's a vegetable...just with a less fried brain.
I love Zeta with all of those various designs and they all get names, just not in the show, I love the animal themes and Zeta has my favourite cuties. Kamille is one of my favorite protags as well, Paptimus' bishi charm is too OP.
No, he regains his faculties. I don't know if he talked in the scene, but it was apparent.
There's a semi canon manga where he becomes a doctor a few years after that, so he recovered I guess.
Kamille only takes one undeserved beatdown in the series when the crew is locked up on the Axis ship and Char needs a way to get out of the cell. That was about ten episodes after everyone else stopped hitting him. Hell by the end Bright just repeatedly asks Kamille to reign in the real crazy, Katz. Katz was able to duck a vicious Bright backhand as well, correction simply doesn't work on him.
Yeah, Kamille and Fa are running on a shore together. The dub of ZZ seems hilariously bad.
At least the Zeta movies have good animation.

You know that scene in Scanners? Yuuuup.
Back on Zeta, I didn't know Kamille was killed in the novel version, just like Amuro. Damn.

The animax dubs are baaaaaad. They just use random dudes who live near their studio for them.

Zeta novels are way diff. The Zeta in them is more akin to Psycho Gundam.

Too bad Wong didn't get around to beating the living shit out of Katz.
"Judow, go back to the Argamma." "Mind yer bizness old man."
How much misery can you endure for one year? I haven't seen 00 in it's entirety since...when did the DVD's come out? It was right before Sunrise stopped selling shit here.
I'm almost done with Gundam 00 Season 2.
It's bad. It's about as boring as AGE was at its worst. They try so hard to make the characters interesting (and did a much better job of it in season one) but it just fails. Can't even make a dude named MR. BUSHIDO who wears a mask and laughs a lot interesting. There's a character named Stabbity who just comes and goes like a fart in the wind. Everything is bland. The show is barely animated at points.

00 had some of the best fansubbed names. Bling Stabbity and Henry Hercules I think is the other one.
There's not a ton of difference between Bring and Bling Stabbity. I guess Bling is slightly funnier.
Anyways I finished season two of 00. It's better than AGE on account of being shorter and having better character art. That's it. Other than that...wow. I still can't believe two bad series like this came in a row. Both of these shows make SEED/SEED Destiny look amazing by comparison.
Also I'm watching the movie tomorrow or Monday night. Should be fun.
Have you seen it before?
No. I have not. This is going on reputation alone.
I was going to make a joke if you had, but I'll let you "enjoy" it.

Not to interrupt the 00 circlejerk hate but I thought some of you would like these comparisons.
From Schizophonic9's review of the HGCE Revive Strike Freedom.
It's looking good. Might have to get it after all.

That movie is such a fucking shit fest with fucking shit fest tier fight choreography. Say what you want about Victory, but it had some really inventive fight scenes.
I don't know if I've ever seen a second of Gundam X. I know the plot from various games and other sources. It's basically a what if there was no Zeon/Zabi family and the one year war ended with a bunch of colony drops. If I remember the character design looks a lot like Wing. I know it had awful ratings and production issues and was cut short.
Victory Gundam I have seen years ago. I remember not liking it, though I might just be lumping it in with my general dislike of all late UC shows.
I think besides Trailblazer, which I'm watching tomorrow, I might try to fit in ZZ this month.

Got my paints all figured out for my Heavy Arms, but now the question is how should I go about it.
Cut them out of the runners and hope for the best to build after painting. Build it, and try my best to remove the armor parts after to paint lol...
Both are a bit of a hassle, but either way could be fine (im just procrastinating again)

You might just be lumping it in or just remember the CorvoSol rants too much regarding it. Granted the show doesn't seem to be for everybody. Awakening of the Trailblazers or whatever is just flat out bad though.

Just finished Zeta Gundam. What a cliffhanger so I went and ordered Double Zeta immediately. Also ordered Gundam Build Fighters to watch something completely different.
