I could never get into the Age 2, they never really gave it any sort of epic moments or cool poses like they did with the first Gundam. This came close
But nothing ever compared it to being at this level of cool

Most definitely. Expect pics when I'm done with the build!

Ooh, do you have any pics? Sandrock wasn't originally one of my favorite suits, but it's definite contender for "most improved" after the Katoki EW redesign.

Wut. I thought a lot of the double bullet moments were pretty awesome. It's got the whole wings of light thing going on.
Though it looks pretty sad in model form lol:
Waiiiitttt, are we getting a Seed Destiny LE PS Vita? Glad I haven't bought a Vita yet...
edit: nm, just a skin for preordering in Japan =(

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
And now Bandai will announce MG HeavyArms Custom tomorrow, which will ship to stores the same day.
In a more serious note nice pick up.
I think that was his point though: that Double Bullet has already done cooler shit than normal AGE-2.
Ah, I think AGE-2 just refers to the gundam itself, with the different packs being called AGE-2 Normal and AGE-2 Double Bullet. That's what caused the confusion.

haha, with my luck I wouldn't doubt it.
Yes please. Holding out for that. Really want a MG Kshatriya as well.
Considering how huge it is I doubt Bandai will make one. I mean look how expensive its HG is.

If we got a MG Perfect Zeong, I think anything is possible!
I'd so day one a MG Kshatriya <3

Ehhh, P Zeong already had a base(or is a more appropriate term ceiling?) to work from thanks to the old MG, so it was probably cheap to make. Plus don't forget the horrible exchange rate/price increase o the last few years.

Gundam Age 26
Well if I was in the EFF and I had to pilot an Adele I or II, or a Genoace II, I would quit, such pointless suits. Otherwise pretty epic episode really.

Would have rather had another Flit Desil showdown. But Asemu taking down Desil, though depressing cause Desil was my favorite of the Vegans next to Zehearto, was pretty epic. I wish the Double Bullet could have done it a bit more stylishly. So many emotions with Woolf's passing. ugh. The photo ring thing was epic, but was it just fired from Diva, cool to make diva useful.

I really want to grab that MG Zeong. Shipping from HLJ is just too much to swallow though. Bah.
I am wrecking these Hobby Lobby 40% coupons right now, haha. I bought my airbrush, hose, and now my easy release attachment all for below Amazon prices. I need to buy a new self-healing mat and some new glue, and that should wrap me up. Still need an air compressor, but I'll hit up some Lowe's for that one.

LMBO my thoughts exactly when I first saw the Kit I was like stupid design but ill hold off judging as soon as I see it in action. And yes Double Bullet is super awesome in the anime the kit :facepalm:
Maybe if they made a MG version and make the beams look less umm whats the word im looking for?

What's wrong with episode 4?
Edit: Episode 5 Blu-Ray: run time 80 Minutes? Isn't this significantly longer than all the other ones?

It's actually 53 minutes, which is a bit shorter than the rest. That whole Amazon listing is ridiculous.

They've been veering off course from the novel for a while now.

He looks G! I can't wait for the time skip
Amazon has had those same run times for the other episodes too. It's a 60 minute episode + 20 minutes of other stuff.
Erm, that has got to be a scam. It has to right? Doesn't make any sense otherwise.
If you didn't read the novel, not much I guess. Episode wasn't bad by any means.
It's a case of original material > adaptation that makes one cringe.

Who knows at this point. I'm waiting to see if RightStuf lists it.
I thought Episode 4 was the weakest part of the OVA so far and it made question the direction of the series, especially after Episode 3, which was the best. It spent a lot of time treading water and didn't develop the narrative much. In a 50-episode series, this would have been acceptable, but when we're dealing with 1/6 of a story that takes forever to come out, it stings a little bit.
Also, maybe this was an issue with expectations versus reality, but after all the great fights in this series so far, the Unicorn/Shamblo stand off was sort of disappointing.

Eh, it's not like we didn't get an absolutely terrific battle between the Zeon remnants and the Federation forces to make up for it.
Truth. Byarlant Custom was the star of that episode.
Yeah that part was admittedly sweet. I just didn't like how the protagonist of the series literally sat around doing nothing for most of the episode... and right when you think he's got his shit together, proceeded to sort of do nothing for the final battle.
The way I heard it play out in the novel sounded better.
Loni's character was much better in the novel than the OVA, but I preferred the OVA's ending to the novel's.
I thought the problem was just the opposite: it moved TOO quickly, and crammed too much narrative into too little time.
Riddhe killing Loni instead of Banagher adds something substantial to their eventual falling out.

Banagher did get his shit together. Unlike every other UC protagonist he decided to not become a tool of war and start killing everyone else just to survive.

I'm still incredibly salty about Bandai canning the North American Turn A DVDs. My Xbox1 and PC can play Japanese DVDs, so I guess I'll have to track those down instead.
I felt it was unnecessary, the novel ending was definetively more original and had this sense of tragedy in that
Banagher never knew for sure what happened to Loni. The whole Newtype resonance tragedy was cliché I could have done without.
Also, spoilers for next episode ending :
We get another tragic death playing kind of the same way yet much more powerful, so the way they did episode 4 felt terribly unnecessary.

I sort of want to start watching Gundam since I'm enjoying the Gunpla model I'm working on. Where should I start?
