Replace the right hand with a hook, replace the left leg with a wooden leg, give it a pirate hat and a eyepatch. Exia Pirate Captain Custom done.

Other than Jamitov, Four Vaginas, and perhaps Paptimus Scirocco, UC names aren't that terrible
Amuro and Lalah have "moved on" with Char; they're all hanging out in newtype heaven or whatever. Char is basically calling Frontal to return home, and Amuro and Lalah are there because they hang with Char now.
It's a nice scene that sounded extremely dumb writing out like that :lol

Why did some Gundam Meisters in 00 have code names and others just, apparently, use their real names?

I dont think bananers did anything too ridiculous other than
. Everything else was about the same level as other uc protagonists.

They all had code names except Tierria who wasn't a real human and didn't officially exist anywhere.

Nah, man. All Gundam model builders have horror stories, especially from starting out. I cannot tell you how many times I sliced a polycap in half, carved off a big chunk of an armor piece by mistake or other dumb things. I still do it. On my Nu Gundam Ver. Ka, I broke one of the sliding bits of elbow armor off trying to disassemble him for painting. My worst horror story has to be my MG Deathscythe Hell Custom. I was trying out lacquer airbrush paints for the first time, made a painting mistake on his head and tried to strip it off. Little did I realize, lacquer thinner literally melts plastic. In a matter of seconds, my Deathscythe's head was a pile of mush. Still haven't ordered the parts to fix it.
So yeah, accidentally cutting off a small tab or breaking off the leg on the notoriously fragile RG line isn't too surprising. Honestly, I feel terrified building RG's myself even though I've been building models for years. Those tiny parts are scary-thin inner frames.
Oh, I dunno. I get that there is a reason behind "Four Murasame" but "Elpeo Puru" is already sorta goofy and then "Puru Two" is even goofier.
Plus, a dude's name is Seabook. I mean, I like Seabook, but his name is still Seabook.
Wait, did you say Paptimus Scirocco's name is terrible? I don't understand. That's one of the most badass, badass gundam villain names there is.

I'll give you Elpeo Ple. But Ple 2 isn't bad considering she's a clone being used as a weapon.
If you were using a weaponized person, would you give them an individual name?
I like it, but I could see how some people wouldn't. I think it's exotic enough that it makes him intimidating personally. But then you'll have Corvo come in here and say something like "lol Poptarts Sriracha is stupid", so it's probably in the eyes of the beholder

Yeah, Poptarts Sriracha intimidates me, what with the rubber band he's using to hold up his hair in defiance of gravity and all that.

Unicorn Ep 7
Everything was amazing, the battles omg and the
at end. Will rewatch.
Ok not everything was. First
About Full Frontal
About the Laplace Box
At the end

About Full Frontal
could have been more developed but I think the lack of it emphasize how he just a husk.
About the Laplace Box
I groaned at first when it was revealed. But when they explained why it had so much power, everything made sense.
At the end
I would have loved to see some sort of epilogue just to show what everyone was doing after it. Also, I am disappointed captain Bright didnt slapped the president.
hnnnnghghhhhhghg
Favourite custom gunpla?
EDIT: Or I want GAFers to post any gunpla they've customized.
Oh man, half a bad show and a bad movie. You don't have to do that. You really don't. Unicorn is pretty damn standalone as it is. Anything you'd get from rewatching ZZ and CCA would be minor references, at best.

He forgot his name after being the whole super soldier torture/ experiment. But the other 50% of the main cast totally took their aliases to cover up their past life.

I cant be the only one on gundamgaf that enjoyed cca, can I? It has problems and could have had some inprovements. But the stuff in there was great. I LOVE the ending so much. Ive always enjoyed newtype space magic though, which is why I enjoyed the ending of unicorn so much
It has amazing mecha animation, but the story is such hot garbage. It's not even the Newtype space magic thing that's the major problem. At least 1/3 of the movie is focused on two terrible characters you could not care less about. Also, how they so abruptly change Char's character from where he was at the end of Zeta is pretty unforgivable. Totally destroys any really nice closure the movie could have had for the Amuro/Char rivalry.
Worth a watch for the mech action, but as a story it couldn't be more frustrating.
You think that's bad? I have half of Zeta, all of ZZ, and then CCA before I'm back to Unicorn. Episodes 27Z-27ZZ are going to be the dark times.
Thank you. Sums up how I feel very well.
Neil Dylandy, only good character also has basically the only good name.
Also, I like Seabook Arno for some reason. Though I liked the Kinkaido alias better. Schwarz Bruder will always be the best though, shoutout to anybody that knows German and understands the pun.
I liked it. I don't remember much of it though.
I enjoyed it as well. I just wish the movie covered the early parts of Hi-Streamer too, instead of jumping straight into the second half of the novels.

What happens in the earlier parts of Hi-Streamer?
Megalosaro
Banned
Yeah, that would have been good stuff.
I like it quite a bit. I like the philosophy at play between Char and Amuro, along with the greater conflict it portrayed. The fights were pretty sweet and I appreciated the stakes. Even resolving it ambiguously with Newtype magic worked, because in a way, they both finally understand each other in those final moments.
While Quess is an annoying character, I appreciate the admittedly muddled point of her arc: she's basically a microcosm of the fight between Newtypes, particularly Amuro and Char. She summarizes the overwhelming potential that comes with this supposed next stage of evolution, as well as its unhinged costs.
Plus, while I know some gaffers complain about how Char is completely different than his appearance in Zeta, that didn't bother me too much. I accepted that he could change and embrace his father's legacy (in a twisted way), especially after all the shit that went down in Zeta, which would make anybody disillusioned with the state of the world.
I guess I have no problem with it starting in media res either. I don't need to know everything that happened with some ponderous opening; the movie does a good enough job filling you in along the way.
Char being possessed by the ghost of Hitler is the biggest reason I did not enjoy CCA at all. It is drastic and unwarranted, even in the context of his existing motivations.
It's like.. what? Feels like it shouldn't be canon and whenever the events are referenced in subsequent UC events, it always seems like they are talking about two different Chars.

Rewatched episode 7 again last night. So hyped for my Neo Zeong to come in already!
It's racist! :O
It's racist! :O
Hey, I watched Zeta two years ago, and that's recent enough for me. Ain't going back to that.
I really enjoy it myself now, but I remember disliking it a lot when I first saw it. I do think Char's personality change makes sense, but it's still an abrupt turn, especially if you're just coming off Zeta. I was also annoyed with the shitty Hathaway/Quess subplot, which I've learned to just tune out now. :lol
I like the movie a lot more now that I can manage my expectations and focus on the parts of the story that are actually interesting rather than the ones that are grating. I feel like I'd have a similar opinion of Zeta if/when I ever rewatch that.

I don't really like CCA too much, but I haven't seen it in 5 years, soooo
I'll rewatch it when I finish Zeta and ZZ.
Has this ever been posted here? I don't have an argument one way or the other, but I just think this is interesting.
This guy.
Taking German classes for the first time, granted I knew what it meant before now but it got a little bit better now that I know how it should actually be pronounced.

Not as bad as the
I've never been bothered by Newtype hax. The psychoframes give it a pass. I find Zeta Gundam's Red super mode far more problematic, and even then I don't give a shit about that.

The mix of supernatural and metaphysical elements with science fiction is probably the most appealing quality of UC Gundam to me
I love all that shit. and I'm pretty pleased to hear that Unicorn contains more of that stuff than the original novels

I think psychoframe stuff is a very good mix between some more fantasy elements and sci-fi elements, and newtypes are a cool way to distinguish people who are powerful from those who aren't, but I really don't like when space tie dye conclusions end up replacing or marginalizing the mobile suit battles themselves
like in UC7.
