Second season of Girls Robot Z and Fewture Grendizer are my big mechanical hypes right now.

Hoping we get some more Wing Glory of the Losers as it's been one of the better Gundam Mangas in a long time.

I actually finally started The Origin manga. Finished the first book yesterday, was pretty awesome. Already have the second one in hand so I'll start that soon.

Have you read Thunderbolt? I read the first volume of that and liked it. Love the "older" mech designs in it.

Honestly I haven't checked out much Thuderbolts, though I did buy the Full Armor Gundam from it.

Main enjoying Glory and Origin. How does Thunder stack up to them?

Could you tell me the differences between The Origin and the original 1979 show? I might just read or watch The Origin when I decide to start tackling UC Gundam.
 
Hopefully it can love up to the hype it gets and you enjoy it.

In probably going to rewatch Nadesico.

I'm expecting it to be 2deep4me, personally. I've heard some major spoilers and a few scenes from End of Evangelion over the years ("I'm so fucked up.") Still, it's such a major work in the genre that it cannot be ignored forever.

I should start watching Greco I guess.

DTL is enjoying it so it must be good

Going back to my Gundam rewatch with After War and then probably all of UC.

Good luck with Evangelion. Make sure to watch End of Evangelion.
 
I still need to watch Build Fighters Try and G Reco when I'm done with Turn A. Might even rewatch the seed shows, should probably watch Armor Trooper VOTOMS.

There's a very specific scene in End of Evangelion that he won't be prepared for.
 
When should I throw up the OT? It's gonna be rather WIP at the moment since I'm still settling back home and whatnot, but it'll be worth it... :p

Also, just started seeing some vids of 3rd SRW part 2 come up. Didn't realize it was released already. Looks like they actually put dat work in even though I've only seen Awakened Unicorn so far.

How are the Zeta movies, ignoring the changed ending? I want to re-experience it, but not for 50 episodes
But they chop out all of that Kamille smacking and probably cut out some of Jerid's girls getting killed by Kamille. You just can't properly condense Zeta.

If this isn't in the movies then the movies are done poorly.

I think you've got time. I don't see this thread reaching 20,000 posts until tomorrow or Friday at the pace it's going.

The movies are more like refreshers for people who have already seen the series.
I actually like the full on journey. Every bitch slap is instrumental to Kamille's character growth. Every dead girlfriend makes Jerid that much stronger, too much Paptimus Bishie swagger. fucking Reccoa and her bullshit and Bask Ohm and Emma Sheen and Fa and hot ass Four and Rosamia.
I'd buy this...why can't I buy this? :( Watching Kamille kill Riddhe multiple times just feels too good.

I'd watch the series over the movies too. Besides the new animations in the Asshimar fight, the series just works better.

Gundam OT2 - A New Type of... F*** Riddhe

Winner.

Only way this could be better was if we could incorporate Nina and Quess somehow.

That and the ending was so fucking sad, but it stayed consistent to the tone of the series. That was the moment where we actually see Kamille acting like an actual kid still only for his brain to be turning to pudding. I wonder if the movies cut down on the mobile suits as well. I love some of the designs in Zeta though some don't like the animal motifs. Maybe one day I'll watch the movies but didn't they remix the soundtrack as well. Isn't the OP Gackt?
 
Ya'll hating on Riddhe too much. He's not much different from Haman.
Haman had swagger Riddhe, just no. Just pining away for an under age woman that he just met. That's something out of Glemy's rule book. Haman was at the very least hungry for Judau, a proper man compared to Riddhe.

Well, fuck that then

I just checked. They kept the original score, but some voices got changed. I believe just Fa and Four are different. Still don't like the new ending, they at least put in some new animation at times. I'll have to watch it one day, but I still like the actual series. I probably make time for it every year or so when I go on my Gundam rewatch phase. I need to make time for Victory again.
 
Finally got around to watching Unicorn and I enjoyed the animation, it's beautiful. Many of the story aspects are suspect to me, but then again I haven't seen most of the UC stuff, so maybe it's harder to see how some would react in the environment. Mostly just some of the character reactions to things seem off with how someone would actually react.

I don't care if the story wasn't ideal, I'm SOOOOO buying a PG Unicorn one day!

Cone over to the new OT and share your thoughts on Riddhe.

Don't worry, they aren' t just suspect to you. Unicorn story is lolololol

Sure the story was stupid but it's very different from "The way these characters behave doesn't make sense in this setting". Because it entirely consistent and inline with the rest of stupid behavior in the Universal Century.
