He did something bad and he should feel bad about it. Zinnerman should've shot his ass for practically killing his daughter.You're making him even more upset
Looks nice, but of course it says nothing about the actual animation.

So the Zeon rival also pilots a red Zaku?
At the base it's orange.
Can't wait to see the kids....

no bully riddhe pls
It's the Psycho Zaku, yeah. There's a lot of Red Zakus out there, but at least this one's differentiated a good bit.
"How many thrusters can we strap to a Zaku?"
"All of them."

Johnny's Zaku is still the best red Zaku.

I hope the soundtrack to this thing is all jazzy. Ideal scenario: Watanabe overseeing it and doing action animation work with Kanno doing the actual soundtrack.
Kind of sad we still don't know what the hell this is going to be. It's almost certainly an OVA, unless they're limiting IBO to 1 season. That seems super duper unlikely with the merchandise push.

Is EXVS Force still coming out in 2015?

Asian ver is 2016? I gotta think about whether or not English text is worth the wait :/
Quick reminder, if anyone is looking to get in on the Hyaku-Shiki 2.0 sale at HLJ, you might want to jump on that soon. The sale has a couple days left, but since the kit is low stock right now it probably won't make it until the end. It's a fantastic deal, so I couldn't resist it personally. Going to end up shipping it when the Transformers Unite Devastator hits in December.
Coming out on Feb 2016, so not that bad, and here is the English build preview

Credits goes to the uploader.
There 2 more video if you are interested, I posted in the "EXVS force to receive english" thread.
Nice, although I'm still salty that they teased the RG Dynames and Virtue like a year ago, and nothing came of it
Also, Freedom MG 2.0? The original Freedom MG was pretty nice, didn't think this was necessary, but sure why not

Thunderbolt gonna be an online OVA.

Pretty disappointed, but probably enough to cover the first arc. The quality will be good at least.
Could be worse and be a Hobby Japan Magazine exclusive like the RG Wing Zero Caledvwich weapons.

So does this mean it's still not canon?
I mean, in a vacuum it's alright but I don't like what it does to the timeline.

That stuff is the bane of my existence. I think the most recent was when I went back to HG Hi-Nu Vrabe. Rifle and a shield that isn't stupid.

That looks fucking cool. I really haven't seen IBO passed the first episode, has it been good?
Are P-Bandai exclusives sets one can pick up in Japan? I'm planning on going there for vacation next September or so and was hoping to pick up some rare kits. Or are they limited release and get sold out shortly after release?

Wait that was announced? O.O
MG Freedom 2.0? I have to get that. Freedom 1.0 was my first MG.
EDIT: Oh wow that other Gunpla news.

I posted this reaction elsewhere. Posting it again here.
"Freedom 2.0. Yeah! I've had the old Freedom on my dresser for over a decade, and while I love the guy (and it was considered solid for its time), of all the mega-popular designs that already have MGs, I want to say the Freedom needs a 2.0 the most. The wings are extremely flimsy, the hands can't properly grip the beam rifle as they have no female slot, the blue trim of said beam rifle are two stickers, and the whole kit has that blocky design found in old MGs. It's not as bad as the Strike, but I'm looking forward to a sleeker MS. I do like the railguns on the MG Freedom though. They have a wide, lateral range of motion but judging by the RG this might be a defect rather than a feature. I hope those flexible railguns come back.
"Above all though, this means Bandai has no excuse to not release a MG Justice, freeing the Justice from its dubious distinction of being the only MS in the RG line to not have a MG and bringing us one step closer to having all of Athrun's suits in MG form (although the old 1/100 Saviour is actually really good!). MAKE IT HAPPEN, BANDAI!"
I've believed for a while that a Freedom RM was coming. After the Strike got it, I thought it was just a matter of time. Most of the other SEED MGs are pretty good, but the first two (Strike and Freedom) haven't stood the test of time well and both are just too popular for Bandai to not capitalize on them at some point.
As for the Full Saber... I don't know. Everyone was calling lots of P-Bandai stuff for the 00 Gundam, me included, and none of it came - except for the Trans-Am recolor. 00 Seven Sword seemed like a sure thing after we got an Astraea conversion kit and a red recolor for the Exia. We were all dead wrong. Hopefully the Qan[T] fans get it.

Oh I know we have our differences, doesn't mean I immediately negate your opinion. We probably like similar non gundam shows any way.
Yes there are kits exclusive to Hobby Japan like the Wing Zero Honoo Custom and the 1/100 Avalanche Exia I have.
Premium Bandai is online only, but GundamFront Odaiba should have some on sale. You might find luck at Mandarake or a local hobby store who is willing to be a middleman sale depending on where you are. Mandarake Sapporo had a Tallgeese III a few months ago.
On the other hand, Hobby Japan is magazine subscription exclusive. You get the kit for ordering a copy of that month's issue.
They're usually sold out fairly quickly and they rarely get reprints. P-Bandai does not only do Gunpla and they also sell figures and other Bandai licensed merchandise. It shouldn't be too difficult depending on what you look for.
If you're unable to find the P-Bandai you want, the only store in America that would have a couple kits on hand at a decent price would be Tatsu Hobby in California.
It doesn't really have too many Gundam tropes yet. It focuses on strategies and characters a little more.

Oh nice. Hopefully it's done a lot better than Aldnoah Zero.
Freedom 2.0 sure is a surprise. Normally, I'd be upset about that getting a 2.0 MG when the original is still a good kit and stuff like the G-Self needs to get done, but the Freedom is a fantastic design so I can't really complain. Looks good so far. Interested to see what the new features are.
Now that we know what the Thunderbolt anime is, it makes way more sense. Would be super weird for Gundam to do a full adaptation of a manga that's still running. I wonder if this is successful will it get future installments as the magna goes on.

I thought so too, but weirder things have happened. There have been manga that have had even less material adapted into anime.
For a lot of things, the anime is just an advertisement to boost manga sales. That's why some things get adapted arguably a bit too quickly. Gundam is such a media juggernaut that it kind of doesn't need that at least on a full scale. In this case, it seems like this is a small thing to promote the manga as well as the new MG line.
I just wish they would adapt Crossbone. ; ;

Fascinating. That P-Bandai PG Unicorn has the shield funnel gimmick.

I went to the Gundam Portal page on Facebook and uttered an opinion again. Definitely going to sleep before that balloons into an argument. Am I the only one that doesn't like the Zeta dub?

Zeonic Scanlation has released Thunderbolt Volume 4. It's mostly setup for the next arc.

I don't know if I like this or if it's something I wouldn't bother with. I do like the green frame Unicorn though.

Well, if you're who I think you are there, when you started off with "Dubbed Gundam, what year is this?", people might have taken that the wrong way. It IS Facebook, after all.
But yeah I hate the Zeta dub too.
