Gundam Age ep47
This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen on a main gundam. This is final full power badass Nu Gundam/Dendrobium for the series? LOL
Yeah, this show sucks. Only 2 eps left to finally be done with this and then I can catch up on better gundam shows like Build Fighters and soon the glorious G Req.
They should've stuck with AGE3 being Full Armor ZZ Gundam and just kept building on a heavy chunky tank gundam. Ditching AGE3 for AGE FX Quan[T] ripoff was zzzz, especially since they already did 00 Raiser Gundam with AGE2.

I could have bought the Gouf, CorvoSol.
I COULD HAVE BOUGHT THE GOUF.
You choose PedoHitler's Waifu over Gouf?
At least tell me it was only Gouf and not Custom or R35

Yep. The only thing left to do is build it, paint it, and put your shame on public display for everyone to see.

im sorry
Nope. I bought it for my girlfriend. She liked it because "it's not ugly like that blue one you want".
That Universe Booster I ordered better be out by my front door when I get back.
Well I'm personally of the opnion that Custom is better, but still man.
You better love this woman is all I can say.
You could always build it to burn in effigy.
Oh wow you really, really did fuck up. Were you drunk or something at the time?

I bought the final volume on Blu-ray while in Japan in April.
I still haven't bothered to watch it. Heh.

Currently watching G Gundam and Gundam Wing right now.
Of the 2 G is the one that has my attention more and is actually pretty good. Currently at Master Asia introduction and I admit that I know the MA is a major antagonist which takes the suspense out of it. Also mark Gartha Domon is best Domon. The dub in general is pretty good. Probably better than you would think since it's blue water.
Wing I'm only 2 episodes in and Heero comes off as a psychopath, while Relena seems to have zero concern for her life or the well being of her friends and family. Zechs and Duo are the ones I'm interested in.

I don't really think it's ever intended to be a huge secret anyway. They drop hints about Master from the moment he appears on screen, and a lot of those hints aren't subtle.
This is really beautiful. Did you paint the whole thing?Titanium Sinanju now has his shield, after much pain and suffering (painting the gold detail was a BITCH).
The shield didn't come out quite as i had hoped, but I think its about the best i can do without using those god-awful stickers. Recessed detail is really hard to get to, even when doing a reverse wash with small swabs.
One thing i noticed when trying to pose this guy - even though I said earlier how amazing the overall articulation was for the unicorn kits - one limitation on the sinanju is the inability for the lower arms to rotate. The upper arms rotate just fine, but having that extra rotation for the lower arm would go a long way in helping to pose the shield.
Next up - painting the Sianju's rifle/grenade launcher. Want do do the barrels a metallic grey or dark silver while doing the rest of the rifle in a metallic gunmetal. Have to find some references first though.
no. it was the titanium version. I only painted the gold detail and the black pieces - but that was more than enough!

damn, Amir0x'd
As Corvo said, it's not even remotely subtle about what Asia is.
As for Heero, he is a child soldier who has no family and has been messed with on a genetic level. A psychopath is really good idea for that type of background and actually unique as far as Gundam leads go. It's sad that the writers thought these were bad traits.
Master Asia is many things, subtle isn't one of them. He ends up being shockingly well rounded in the end though.
Oh, I didn't mean to imply that Master wasn't great. Considering what was required of his character in the narrative, they manage to make him one of the best characters in the show.
But subtlety is not taught in the School of the Undefeated of the East.
More G fans. This is making my eyes water.
After finishing AGE, I feel like there's a good story in there somewhere, it had moments of good character development/story arcs, but it would really need a damn good editor to parse the good story out of it and a waaaaaay better director than fucking Hino to make a great show out of it.
It really is the worst Gundam entry in the franchise. It's watchable, but it never has anything driving it to keep you wanting to watch the next ep or caring about the cast. This is really shown in the final battle where there's no impact for any of the character deaths because the show just messed up in developing them properly. Even
was just sudden and terribly directed like Hino didn't even care at that point.
It's just kind of a boring watch, whereas at least Destiny was an entertaining trainwreck.
Eh, I think it's possible that super robot wars could re-write it into a more coherent, clearer and enjoyable vision; but it'll be a lot of work for them and considering it's AGE, dunno if they'll bother re-writing it.

Zehart's death
Zehart's whole character arc is really weird and feels like Hino had some good ideas but didn't know how to wrap it up.

Master Asia's introduction is the greatest
I think he's the only person in the series(and possibly in gundam history) to fight a mobile suit bare handed, let alone multiple mobile suits
Man catches beam rifle shots and turns them into bullets

I kinda felt like the hope of good character development was doomed when they decided to base Zeheart and Assmo's friendship around a single musical montage. As for the plot, I feel the final coffin to that was Ezelcant deciding to throw out the sudden humanity his people had developed in favor of twirling his mustache.
Unrelated query: Did the Butler GM type from G Gundam ever get a kit? Cuz that would be a funny mech to build.

this is an interesting thing to come back to LOL..!.,
I was forced by the power of looooooooooooooooooooooooove.

I think Gym might have a chance at that, no other antagonist is as hammy.
They didn't have any Beargguys at least?
In Gundam or in Tomino shows in general? Because there are some contenders from other Tomino shows.
Tobia had a rifle, although strictly speaking Master was armed with a length of cloth, too.

He picked up the rock it was standing on to flip it over
He caught bullets and shoved them back in the rifle to blow it up
with. his. bare. hands.
IIRC Sunrise had a specific condition about no humans fighting robots diectly in G Gundam, but I guess Imagawa figured they'd stopped watching 10 episodes in
I was about to say Gavlet Gablae (L-Gaim) is a massive ham.

We already built one. It's actually a cute thing with some weird articulation.
Nobel Gundam?
Build Strike?

At the time of writing that post, I had not actually started episode 12. Upon watching it... yeah not exactly subtle Master Asia
Lmao, she would kill me if I bought her that. She requested Freedom, which I'm currently building for her.
Edit: Started watching Zeta today. The first episode was pretty great. I have high expectations for the rest of the series. Cool Bright cameo lol.

That's a rad choice!
Zeta is currently my top Gundam series so far, but it has a slow start apart from the first two episodes. You'll have a good time with it, though!

Zeta has a cool soundtrack. Not as good as 0079's, but still wonderful.

Yeah, I think it's a cool model too. The only problem so far is I messed up on the elbow joint foil stickers you can see in this image (not mine) and had to throw them out, so I'm kind of bummed about that. It's kind of bad design on their part though to put stickers on a moving joint which has a very uneven surface anyway.
Also good to know the series slows down for a bit, so I'm expecting it
