Two more episodes of Seed down!

Damn, I rather like this show overall! Mu La Flagen (whose name I no doubt slaughtered) is a cool mentor type, and the escape from the Eurasian base was fast-paced and fun. (Star Trek this ain't, though, even if it seems to possess even greater amounts of technobabble; when the captain and Flagen and the other chick all tricked the guards into letting them out, one of our heroes was like, "I'm not gonna die here!" and then they left those poor hapless raw recruits to their fate! At least they were unconscious...)

There was a random beat on the bridge (or whatever) of the colony where one of the comm officer dudes turns to his friend and goes, "got a call from my mom, she isn't doing well" in a deadpan inflection and it had my friend and I laughing hard. This dub is so weird. It was spoken in barely a second and then there was no follow-up and then he presumably exploded.

This. Dub.

Pink-chan (Laca? Lucca? Lacan? ...Grahf?) is a strange one, not quite sure what to make of her. Where did that blonde girl go? I keep expecting them to reveal that she's Sayla, but they can't well do that if she never appears again!

Athrun's gang is entertaining. They're like a Tales game's rival cast, I just smirk stupidly whenever they're on screen.

Commandant got OWNED.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Lacus is the name you're looking for.

And you'll see the blonde again. IIRC in about another 10 or so episodes.

 

[JeffZero]

Lacus! Lacus. There we go. Thanks, mate.

I realize I haven't said much about Kira himself. I'm not sold on his personality, honestly, but his concept intrigues me. I want to see where things go for him, being a Coordinator on the opposing side. It makes for a slightly more layered beginning than the guy I keep thinking about given Seed's ambitions (Amuro).

 

[Shun]

I will not stand for G Reco slandering (｡◕ฺˇε ˇ◕ฺ｡）

Most stylish series in a while, such fun suit designs and visuals. I love it. Better robot design than 00, AGE, Build Fighter, and G Tekketsu so far at least.

G Reco needs a follow up with Bellri and Aida adventures in Japan. Also a spinoff with Klim Nick and Mask/Luin Lee.

Are you watching HD Remaster?

Also Murrue Ramius from SEED is da bes. So glad she gets a happy ending in Destiny. Bring back Mitsuishi for Gundam.

Lacus is cool with her layered personality. Shame that Cagali wasn't handled well. I sort of wish Astray gets a proper animation run just to see all the weird shit like Astray Out Frame, Testament, and Turn Red/Red Dragon.

 

[JeffZero]

We're watching whatever it is some streaming site my friend uses has (I won't say the name just in case there's some rule against it). I doubt it's the remaster, which is a bit of a shame since that sounds pretty. *_* Should I fetch that version?

IMO the originals are better, the remaster tends to Lucas the show adding b.s.

 

[Shun]

Nah Remaster is the way to watch it.

They gave the robots a cleaner design, there are some added scenes, it overall just looks better.

I mean SEED had issues with reusing animation, poor animation, and more that no amount of HD Remastering can fix, but if you seriously want to spend 100 episodes of your live going through SEED, you're better off watching it remastered for the sake of your sanity and vision.

google the differences for a better decision on which to watch.

I personally would not watch SEED again unless it was the Remastered one. And even then I would have to watch SEED at like 1.5 speed or skip through shit because, well it's SEED.

i guess you can live w/ retcon nonsense but yep, star wars blu ray looks better =) hahaha, jk

 

[JeffZero]

Re: the "100 episodes" part, I've had a lot of folks suggest we skip SEED Destiny. Do y'all feel otherwise?

 

[Shun]

Re: the "100 episodes" part, I've had a lot of folks suggest we skip SEED Destiny. Do y'all feel otherwise?

I mean if you watch SEED you mind as well watch Destiny unless you wanna skip around and watch Stargazer or read Astray/Destiny. You should watch it just so you can hate it after, or you might end up liking it. I mean Kin likes Shinn/Impulse/Destiny, anything can happen. Gundam as a franchise is divisive, I enjoyed CCA but a lot of people here despise it even tho it's one of the most popular in ninkitouyhou. I love Gundam Reconguista.

I hate Destiny but I mean I'll watch it only because it gave us some better suits like Strike Rouge Ootori and Akatsuki.

You also get to see why we despise some characters. I guess the highlight of Destiny for me was just some mobile suit and Murrue and other characters getting closure.

Destiny wasn't good but like if you are able to watch it, give it a go. It's really the later half/two thirds of Destiny that people begin to completely hate and despise. If you go in without any real expectations other than fan service and laughing and enjoying shitting on the show, you will enjoy it a lot more that most of us who went in blind back in 2004.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

Re: the "100 episodes" part, I've had a lot of folks suggest we skip SEED Destiny. Do y'all feel otherwise?

other may differ but i agree w/ those folks. i think Destiny was terrible (i like the gundams in it) just felt the story is a rehash of SEED. but don't feel too strongly against it.

 

[JeffZero]

Cool, thanks you two. I'll consider adding it into the rotation afterward.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Cool, thanks you two. I'll consider adding it into the rotation afterward.

Also, if you're still watching the non-remastered version, there will be a recap episode pretty soon. Don't skip it, not only is Rau the narrator, it also coveres some important pre-series information.

There's another recap episode later that you can skip.

Good to know. We usually don't skip episodes even when recaps happen, but that's good to bear in mind just in case.

If you're going to ride the Seed train then ride that shit all the way to it's derailment like a man.

other may differ but i agree w/ those folks. i think Destiny was terrible (i like the gundams in it) just felt the story is a rehash of SEED. but don't feel too strongly against it.

It's technically a rehash of Zeta.

Why doesn't anybody give Natarle any credit? She's a cutie as well, plus a good captain.

 

[JeffZero]

Natarle is great so far. I just have a limit-per-post on slaughtering names so I was afraid to toss her in there. I don't know what it is about SEED in particular but I'm having a hell of a time learning names.

Cause they're alphabet soup names that still make no damn sense. Only one that makes any kind of sense is the Ramba Ral of the show.

 

[JeffZero]

Right now, this is how I'm remembering the cast:

Kira Yamato
Athrun Probably Has A Last Name, Too
Rakghoul A Char
Moo La La, Flagen
Lacus Pink-chan
Sai
Childhood Friend
Childhood Friend
Childhood Friend
Angry Blond Rival Jerk
Miguel Is Dead
Calm Green Sheep-looking Pilot
Cool Chick
Not-Relena-Or-Even-Sayla
Natarle
Bridge Dude With Thick Glasses
Rakghoul A Char's Big Friend

 

[JadedWriter]

I don't even remember half of those fools.
Rau La Cruce or Croissant or whatever, can't remember how to spell his last name.
Natarle Badgerule
Mu La Flaga
Lacus Clyne
Cagali Yula Atha I think
Athrun Zala
Dearka Elsman
Nicole
Yzak Jule
Bruh you left out crazy red haired chick.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

I could correct both of you off the top of my head but I'd prefer to keep hiding my SEEDfag power level.

Yeah, it was announced a month or so ago, I think.

I have extremely high hopes if there's a jump in quality like between 1 and 2.
Fingers crossed for no f2p like stuff this time (drop rate boosters in 2).

she's boring... "gottfreids fire!" i need to rat on the captain. i'm blind and can't see the bigger picture. i question my superior bc i think i know better all in the name of loyal soldier. =P

She gave Murrue a hard fight every time they fought and she came good in the end. She's just a by the book captain that didn't know when to throw the book out till it was too late. Besides when Dilandau boards her ship it was a bit too late for her to leave.

who would win in a fight? natarle or gladys =)

Gladys only wins the gainaxing fight. Only one that wins an actual fight between those two is me cause my mind is filthy full of yuri shipping. On the real though I would think Gladys just because she's got better pilots because Natarle only had the murder brigade on her ship. Granted Natarle was usually two steps ahead of Murrue and didn't Gladys do a number on the Minerva as well. I guess Murrue wasn't one of combat tactics. Even the chick from 00 was better than her and Mannequin was even better.

 

[Shun]

My housemate in California told me our MG Destiny arrive and he show me picture of wing effect part.

it takes as much space as the box.... this MG Destiny is going to take so much space out of all my gunpla...

cannot build until i come back next week...

 

[TheFlow]

Forgot to post these but Micro Gouf, Char's Zaku II, and tank.

yeah, i think Gladys would win for a different reason, she's compassionate. and more open minded than Natarle. yeah you're right about her being loyal soldier.

I really do have to watch Seed and Destiny again. I don't remember much about Gladys capabilities. She did listen to Athrun at least though in that early meteor fight.

Oh man you got yours so quick, I am still waiting for mine, hopefully I order fast enough for the first print edition that came with the wings.

I going to be so piss if it doesn't come with the wing, does it also come with this base?

 

[Shun]

I mail him and he told me it does come with launcher pad base and that everything takes up a lot of space. The stand can fit two MG kits, one on the flying stand and one on the base.

The wingspan is also ridiculous when you add the effect onto the already big destiny wings.

It is crazy that the wholesale/retail market price for this kit in Hong Kong/Guangzhou is the equivalent to 18USD but it is marked up to 50-70 dollars because of profit and oversize/overweight shipping.

Something like this if I shipped to japan I might have saved shipping costs because would have to ask to send without original box for customs. If it were like BTF 3rd party it would slide because BTF is in Japan and they do things like Caledwich weapon add on but such a big box probably have issues.

Wingsize for scale from Hong Kong builder.

So FT got an epilogue.

Heero and Relena are married and living on Mars with a flower Garden, though not legally because Heero doesn't have the correct documentation.

They talk and Heero brings out his Birth certificate and they talk about how they can legally get married, plus how Heero wants to be listed as the father on their future kids birth's certs.

Heero also says how he wants to change his name because well it's not really his name, though when he can't think of one Relena is very shitty and just keeps calling him Heero.

She brings up the prettiest flower which is an all white one, and how it symbolizes Innocence, mutual love and who's second name is Snow White - yep, name drop his final Gundam.

So kids, bitchy Relena, and Heero even name dropping the name of the Lite Novel with saying how he thought his Tears were Frozen.

Thanks to the translator on Animesuki, I'm totes jealous of the art book I saw damn it. FT art is so gorgeous.
