Nice Vald! After war gundam X is one of my favorites. I love Garrod so much.
Easily 2 of the best op of the whole gundam franchise.
As someone who doesn't think Zeta Gundam is all that great to begin with (Good ideas, poor execution) I think the New Translation movies are generally good. The biggest issues are, as I understand it:
1. The new animation, while utilizing a retro style to 'fit in' with the older 80s animation, don't really succeed. The new animation looks amazing, but sits jarring with the original work.
2. The ending for the third film has been changed, altering what a lot of fans feel is one of the best aspects of Zeta. This change, without spoiling too much, erases the need for Double Zeta's events. Considering though there's a huge gap between ZZ and CCA, and Char underwent a pretty major character shift between the two anyway, CCA could probably still happen? I guess, no matter what it does seemingly erase ZZ from the timeline and is generally considered non-canon.
3. In the effort to cram the series down from 50 episodes to 3 90 minute films, the past is exceedingly fast, certain characters and plot lines are shafted for screen time, etc.
I personally don't feel like 1 is an issue. 2 I have mixed feelings on. As I don't really think ZZ is that good (save for a laugh) I don't mind the ending change, although I do agree it erases one of the more interesting ideas Zeta offered up.
3 I kinda agree with, at least with pacing. The films move at a crazy clip with almost zero down time between fighting and talking. Dialogue is constantly going, with no breaks besides battles and even then most people are motor mouths still. As far as cutting plot lines go I actually feel like the best stuff was kept and if you weren't taking to the original, you probably won't be bothered by what's missing. Anyway that's my 2 cents.
If they chop it down as much as they do then yeah Kamille gets slapped less.Wait, does Kamille not get slapped enough in ANT? Not sure I want to watch it now...

Shit, you know a show is rough when even Bright gets kicked into a fucking sofa.There's always this: https://youtu.be/_StZDxiUIWE
ZZ is the ugliest Gundam until the Unicron came out so that makes sense to me!
MG Blitz is done, but I'll wait and post an image once I'm done with the Aegis. Which, by the way, I am most certainly going to take my time on. I've already done the torso and head and it's something else.
ZZ indeed is one of the ugliest one lol. But ZZ had the best best best Neo Zeon MS baby.^^
And, Unicorn is not that bad bruh.^^ It looks cool during motion too.^^
Yup, sounds like Aegis alright.
Agreed, ZZ is nonsense but Neo Zeon had some nice looking suits there. Also one of the few things that passed on to other series.
I think Unicron is beyond ugly untransformed and pretty damn ugly when transformed. Easily the worst Gundam. Other Pantheon members include ZZ and Endless Waltz Sandrock.
For everyone here interested in giving Gundam VS a shot - Gundam Versus month-long, hour-a-day demo begins June 1 in Japan
Yesterday I checked out the 4 hour trial which was available for everyone who applied to the Closed Beta back in February. After about an hour with it, I have to say that it's definitely a Gundam Versus game. I'm far from an expert on it, but it feels almost exactly the same as the previous games, for better or worse.
I'm not a huge fan of the graphics, because while looking better than previous games in the series, both the models and areas lack... polish? details? Anyway, fun stuff, will definitely grab the full version in a month+
Edit:
Also, the mode introduction trailer is out.
Endless Waltz Sandrock was the only decent Rock in my eyes lol.I think Unicron is beyond ugly untransformed and pretty damn ugly when transformed. Easily the worst Gundam. Other Pantheon members include ZZ and Endless Waltz Sandrock.
I'm still annoyed they aren't building a life sized Zeta.
If they do a Qubeley they better build it in that hands on hips pose that Haman always flew around in.Who knows, maybe by Zeta's 40th anniversary it'll happen (one can hope). I'd also accept a life sized Qubeley .
Her Qubeley was probably her best friend either that or the staff was lazy and didn't want to design an upgrade for her. They always could've given her a Paptimus designed Titania.Speaking of ZZ and Haman, why didn't she get a new mobile suit in the end? I didn't watch ZZ but I always found it strange that she didn't upgrade, even though her minions got new toys.
Crunchyroll has added Gundam Seed HD and Gundam Seed Destiny HD...time for a rewatch!!!.

Yup, the Church of Our Lord and Saviour is open once again!

EP 1-25 of Turn A finished.
Man this show is good. Still have yet to see what the Gundam itself can really do, but man they went pretty damn deep into setting up this world and situation which I'm digging even more. Loran getting some of those newtype sparks showing is cool too. Excited to see where its going next though really kinda want them to chill out with the side characters, its amazing they get so much back story and scenes but kinda wanna see some more Gundam action now that Loran is getting used to fighting.
Unf. MG SEED boxarts continue to deliver.
I'm into it!
Worried that since I still haven't gotten Infinite Justice, if I get this newer one it will blow the old one out of the water (I like Infinite more~)

So, when I first started Gundam models back.... over a decade ago, Action Bases weren't a thing. I assume they don't really work with the older models, what are the oldest kits Action Bases work with?
To quote the wiki: "First introduced in 2006, an Action Base allows Gunpla kits to be displayed in aerial poses. Each Action Base comes with an arm that can be adjusted in height and angle, as well as different adapters for older Gunpla kits that do not have peg holes available."
Going by that, they should work with the older stuff, just have to use the right adapter.
This page has a good breakdown on the different types of bases, and in the pictures you can see the different adapters they come with: http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Action_Base
