What I'm saying is, people saying it's bad it's what's really making me not want to watch it. Knowing stuff about the actual content of it is what makes me not want to watch it. The bolded being a big reason. Zeta was bad enough with that shit, I really don't want to watch a series that's even worse about that than Zeta was.

I have yet to watch Victory but want to. I want to witness the mass deaths that aparently happen.

Yeah Tomino enters "This is Spinal Tap" mode with that shit. I don't even think he even bothers to name the last half of the Shrike Team. Though he does balance that out with one of the best female villains of all time.

I was actually discouraged from buying that one because everyone says the opposite. Not that I need it anyway, I have this one that needs paint etc:
I still haven't seen Zeta
To those with God Hand nippers, do they really not leave any stress marks at all?

Zeta has some of the best opening and closing tracks of the franchise. It's pretty much transformable mecha the anime. And Char's actually not a swan chasing asshole in Zeta.
Import it and play it on your US account. The PS3 is region free.
Haman wasn't in Victory.

OK that was a partial lie, I've seen 1 episode and I absolutely love the original OP, not that crap I found out they put on the DVDs.

I said one of. Haman kept her sanity...Katejina threw it away and tried to kill Uso with it.
Who was the person who build the MG Hi-v (Not Ver. Ka)? The one that came with effect parts.
That plus anyone who build HG Nobell, Harute, and Bandai EVA Unit-08?
Going to build next week and was wondering if there are any last things to note before starting. Like weak joint or poly cap, or something else other than airbrush stuff.
Anything to avoid or watch out for because I remember someone saying their kit melt.

When I say it's a solid kit, I mean it looks really nice. Not that it is a stable and reinforced kit! The entire torso is essentially hollow because the head is originally fixed onto the hip of the kit structure, and you have to slide it up upwards during construction to flip the chest armor over to lock the head in place. It's hilarious. All for the sake of "transformation". Boo!
Anything to note like bad poly caps or anything like that? I plan on taking a lot of time painting Nobell and making it look proper and nice.
Also anyone have experience modifying a piece. I'm really considering getting another hair part and cutting it so I have bobcut/short hair Nobell.
Nah, not that I can remember. It's a solidly put together kit!

OK that's fair lol!
Yeah I don't get why they felt they needed to have that gimmick in there when the MG already does it as well...
Are there any decent Zeta kits that don't transform, but also don't look like butt and have more of the modern improvements?

Just finished watching Seed/Destiny the other day. Absolutely loved it!
Tell us what you think of Gundam 00 next. ;D

Watched that first
I liked it, but I liked SEED more, probably due to the amount of episodes. Kira is way more likable than Setsuna too imo.
Honestly thought Destiny was going to 2nd season of 00 route, and start expanding on the seed, and that whale fossil.

You could've replaced Setsuna with a Digimon and still get a better show.Watched that first

Not my fault I like things that everybody hates. Least it wasn't Stella or Flay. nobody understands Katejina like I do

Can't believe how good this PG Unicorn looks. Kind of makes me wish I'd waited for a green or blue psychoframe edition but those will be Premium Bandai exclusives no doubt.

Least it's not just me.
Reccoa wishes she was Katejina. Katejina had the guy that actually wanted her, and amassed a pretty significant good guy body count. I don't think Reccoa can say the same thing.
Guys, look at this amazing suit!
So damn good. Really emphasizes why the Double X is my favorite MS. Can't believe we're only a bit over a week out from the MG finally getting release. Can't wait. A bit disappointed the panels that pop out of the arms and thighs appear to be yellow plastic, but nothing a bit of paint can't fix.
The transformation is a really tricky proposition. As a huge fan of the Zeta suit, the transformation is integral in my mind to what it is. Any kit that doesn't attempt to do it without parts forming feels less than and incomplete. By doing it, though, you sacrifice the structural integrity. It's a problem that I don't think we're at the point in model engineering to fully fix.

The trailer for origin 2 is out. Looks good but christ was the narration turrible. "Controversial" my ass.

Gundam Reconguista in G Episode 4
Getting better and better as we go on. Though G-Self can fly with the pack Id prefer a design with it having its own wings without this augmentation. Otherwise I enjoyed the battle. Taking care of three in one puts Bell a bit higher on the ranking for good mecha leads. If he can keep performing this well he may even become a favorite.

Toonami was pretty good at making openings. Shame that meant removing the Japanese intros as well.
Why not have both.
Why not have both.
Always loved Toonami's openings/promos, their Gundam Wing teaser is probably their best work.
This never fails to bring back a flood of memories. And not just watching Wing for the first time but Toonami as a whole.
Coming home after school each day for that block of scheduling was pretty much an event and it helped filled the gap that Fox Kids/Kids WB were sort of winding down on.

All being narrated by fucking Optimus Prime. God I miss coming home everyday from school and watching me some fucking Gundam Wing. This was one of the shows I talked about with my high school friends.
Pretty much this. Fox Kids never really ran anything unbutchered. I remember them trying to air Escaflowne of all things like it was a children's cartoon. Toonami had some good blocks. Yu Yu Hakusho, Ruroni Kenshin, Outlaw Star and Gundam Wing were most likely the best things they've ran with Blue Gender being a hidden gem of the Adult Swim block. I have so many fond memories of Toonami.

So Gym is some demented space samurai looking do with 80's hairband hair. My God. Gym has fucking swag to spare.

I haven't really posted since I moved away from Japan ('cause I don't see gunpla on a weekly basis, watch Gundam on TV, and visit Gundam Front, etc, anymore). I was wondering, what are the best Gundam manga? English or Japanese is okay. I always thought about picking up Thunderbolt when I saw it in the bookstores in Japan.
