Victory sort of descends to such lunacy that you can't take it seriously anymore, at least it was that way for me.

If anything I would imagine folks having issue with bells girl.


When it works, it works. The use of a balaclava/ski mask
b/c of supposed allergies (even though he has the thing pulled down half the time lol)
isn't working.

Hehe metal masks is one thing, but this:

So that Gundam AGE spoiler ruins the enjoyment of the entire show. So don't read it if you're interested in AGE in any way.

Who knows if it's true? And if it is true, I don't see that ruining the whole show. There has to be more to it than just
time traveling robots designed to train Flit on how to save the world!

Oh good, was about to hunt for this thread :p I ordered a Unicorn wallet last week, won't have it until Nov. 12th or so since I put it in the same order with a pre-order that won't be out until later. I'll post pics in the pick up thread on gaming side once I have it...

Yeah but I was watching episode 3 and
it took away all the tension of the show, knowing the motivation of the UE. If they're training him, they're certainly not going to kill him or the ship.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be the kind of reveal they wait on unleashing for months and months. Who knows, we'll see. And besides, no one forced you to read it. :p

Qouting this again because I didn't know what you were talking about since I hadn't gotten that far, but now that I have, WTF am I watching lol. Between that,
the craziness of the V2's "Wings", and the pedophile wanting to have Uso's baby,
this show has descended into complete madness. I haven't even gotten to the
bikini-clad pilots
yet.

I know, it's my own fault for certain, I'm just warning others who might be interested.

I think thats what I enjoyed, it was bonkers. Tomino always was bad with his writing but they kept lot of it underwraps. Here he just goes all out and creates something crazy. It's not really much different from other Gundam outside of it's violence and amount of sheer crazy which we started seeing with Tomino as he kept pushing Newtype powers. Everything was taken to extremes... story is typical Gundam though.

It had good animation and mecha action for it's time, but the mecha designs obviously did not win anyone over. I liked some of the mecha though and enjoyed all the action in the series. But thats why I watch most Gundam as it's just mecha porn for me, most of it is pretty bad outside of the OVAs

All I read was something about
time travel
is that just the tip of the iceberg or the whole thing re: you saying not to read the spoilers? PLEASE just answer in yes or no.

Victory is behind me. Don't think I'll ever watch that again. Last 10 or so episodes just went completely bonkers.

And now you know why Tomino never wants to talk about Victory.

God, get that shit outta here, Bandai.

I'd rather have to wait like, 7 years for an amazing Gundam project like Unicorn than have that garbage SEED and its ilk shit up the brand.

This is an interesting development. Aside from the first blu-ray box coming out for Gundam SEED, BS11 will begin broadcasting the HD version from Jan 1 2012. They are currently also broadcasting the HD Escaflowne TV series to promote the Feb 2012 release of that blu-ray box set.

What's interesting is the actual comment from BS11 about the nature of Gundam SEED HD. They mention that the entire series has been re-composited in both HD and widescreen, and re-edited as well. This means it is no simple upscale (SEED was a digital anime made in 4:3 SD after all). The twitter post also mentions that some existing scenes will have redone animation, and that a part of the music is being remixed as well.

It's going to be really interesting to see the result of this, because such re-composites could end up either really well done or really bad. More importantly, it will mean that the DVD releases remain the definitive original version of the series, since the HD versions will be altered and revised in various ways.

Edit: OH SHIT. I just realized that this would mean we're looking at another LUCASVISION release.
In the SEED Special Editions they already edited Flaga's helmet out of the final scene. They're probably going to do that for the TV series this time, just to ensure the retcon remains intact!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

I don't really get the hate for SEED. It was enjoyable to watch and had some half-decent suit designs. Destiny was what fucked it up.

Holy shit. I just realized something else. The SEED HD box is only 12 episodes. 12 episodes of a remaster 10 year old show for 21,000yen. That means four boxes in total. 84,000yen for all of SEED in HD in the year 2012! It's amazing!

I hope they don't change the music too much. It was the one thing that was actually pretty good in the show.

They're probably just finding a way to fit more TMR songs in various action scenes. Lulz.
