In mostly unrelated questions, since the idea of Newtypes and their equivalents are so prevalent in Gundam, do you think IBO will eventually tackle it?

So far nothing seems to hint at it, and it doesn't seem like it needs it either.

Yeah, she's super believable right now, she's great in that sense.

I dunno, don't particularly care for that angle, how they handle Naze and co in the future is my main interest characterization wise right now, I hope they knock it out of the park again because him and his harem can go wrong in so many ways.

Yeah, more or less.

I think it's more of a human debris thing, Kudelia inmediately knows what it is and Atra seems to get it too, the way I interpreted it is that as they've been treated as disposable for so long they are just used to people dying and nobody caring, so the very idea of a funeral is foreign to them. I loved that concept.

Yeah, they are very forward with it, it does beat 30 plus episodes of "will they/won't they" though.

I have no idea why they wouldn't release Force on PS4 as well. Maybe less people would buy it if they saw that Force was the EXVS PS4 game they were getting and they would feel cheated? Leading to lower sales of both Vita and PS4 versions then if it was just alone on Vita?

I don't fucking know.

Yeah, I don't think IBO is going have Newtypes/superhuman equivalents in the show, as the closest thing the show has is the Auto-Vijana system. Unless a theoretical season 2 really flips the script on us.

Well that was one hell of an epsiode :lol

The ending especially… holy shit. Mika you devil. I think in the end he’ll still go with Atra though, don’t think he has any romantic interest in Kudelia really. He just did it for the lulz. In the end he probably decides on cooking skills alone because that’s more important to him :lol

I don’t want to think about the harem bullcrap because Atra was way too much into that idea from the start. Like really? Not even a bit jealous? Come on. Also I still wonder if Kudelia even survives the show. And even if she does, she probably won’t settle down with Mika.

Fumitan hides something, right? I keep thinking she’s a mole. The one who keeps delivering intel to Gjallarhorn.

And not to forget that the opening sequence was really heavy again. Shooting kids and all. I bet the soccer moms are really flipping their shit now, if they aren’t already.

Seems like Mika will finally get some development too, seems like the enjoying the killing of men thing really has hit him subconsciously.

The show continues to be really interesting. The only time I rolled my eyes in the episode was the whole forced wedding with a kid bullcrap again. It’s not really sexual but still way too much to make me cringe.

Maybe...but i'd like to think that Americans would at least, at this point, be appreciative of any Gundam game....which makes me sound like a hypocrite haha. I just really can't justify buying a Vita right now.

Playstation TVs go for quite cheap actually. I've seen it go down to $20-30 on some sales. Now granted, you need a PS3/PS4 controller and a damn memory card, making the cheap device itself kinda pointless being cheap but there you go.

Don't forget that they've also grown up in a battlefield or a war zone all of their lives, so death is an everyday occurrence to them, they've never really given it a second thought till now...or no one's really taught them such an important aspect of life.


In actual news, we got a couple of new mobile suits for IBO with the one on the left being some sort of an armour for Barbatos:

So happy right now. I just found and bought a copy of Journey to Jaburo for PS2 from Bookmans

Doesn't this extreme vs game not have ANY multiplayer whatsoever?

Cuz that's the defining selling point for those games.

Not gonna lie I kinda want the red one.

I got MSG: Journey to Jaburo today and I've been playing it. The game itself has okay gameplay and wonky controls, but the newly animated 0079 cutscenes look nice.

The new animation looks like if they combined some of 0079's artstyle (mainly in the faces) and the Wing artstyle and put a lot of detail in. I actually kinda like the artstyle and animation in that regard.

But as a Gundam game, this is okay. Don't be clamoring for it.

Oh they've been doing it for a while, somehow "Iron-Blooded Oprhans" makes them think "kids show" :lol

I really hope that goes somewhere, because while it doesn't annoy me per se, it's just floating around with no direction.

Because someone has to: It's a Char!!!

Nope it ain't salmon pink.:p

Considering people have this running joke of Char being into lolis, and this guy who is the most similar to him in IBO actually having to engage one for me is just a hoot on its own. But yeah, would like to see it go somewhere.

I can't imagine though how it'll end up though.

I know they've gone crazy since Mika killed the adults in the Mars base, I'm just saying that this probably gave them some more stuff to hate ;)

Oh me too, I want it to go right in the trashcan so we never have to see this shit again.

...The violence wasn't even the main issue it was more the lack of a proper age warning.

Looks like Build Fighters Amazing is getting a sequel manga.

Does anyone know where to buy the Gundam SD EX? I can't find them anywhere.

A new Gundam kit and toy.

IBO mashed up with Star Wars:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CXnvl0yUoAEh9vk.png:large

Atra is just adorable in as Chewie.

They do seem to have sold out quick. Not that it's something worth fussing about as they're kinda shit. They rely on stickers just as heavily as the old kits (even more so, in some cases), and there's really not a whole lot of improvement outside of a tiny bit of added articulation. Like, the Unicorn doesn't even transform like the old one. So lame.

Yeah, and as I understand it: the Rx78 has A LOT of hallow pieces, more so than SDs usually have.

Yup. I saw a comparison someone did between it and an SD RX-78-2 from the late 90s, and the 90s one was way better in every way.

Heads up everyone, Gundam 00 is back up on Gundam info, subbed only. So if you've never seen the show before, go watch it!

And, even more shockingly, Unicorn is up too.

I made this point on Twitter and I wanted to elaborate. There are two MS designs from Gundam Wing I thought were very good, three actually now that I think about it. Pisces, Virgo, and I think the one I'm thinking of was called Capricorn? It had the shoulder cannons and a sort of hovering tank option for the legs. Then, I even loved Ares' fold up legs transformation for flight mode. And the O2 mask head which made no sense for a MS. And my love of strange MS designs goes beyond Wing. There are the outlandish MS designs of Turn-A, the WTF of G Gundam's designs, and there were even a few through the SEED series. Also explains my love of Mobile Armors, especially from the original series. But on the other hand I also love a grunt. The Leo, GM, Zaku II, Gouf, Dom, and on and on. In my mind, for the most part, the main Gundams of the series all look about the same. The creativity comes out in the other MS designs of the given series.

I love Gundam though, let me make that clear. Wing especially holds a big place in my heart. So does SEED Destiny. Lacus Clyne!

Affinity for weird MS designs is a-okay with me. As long as there isn't a crazy amount of them all the time, but in proptortion with other new types of designs people are going to like, I'm fine with them.

I have sort of a mecha turn on for badass MSes or Gundams overall. Stuff like the 00 MSes, the Unicorn or the FA-78 from Thunderbolt just really get me going.

I just watched Unicorn.

I want Unicorn models now.

Let me tempt you.

Unicorn?

http://orig07.deviantart.net/e4d2/f/...21-d546se7.jpg

Also, it's funny how only one of the models that Powerman posted can technically be called a "true unicorn Gundam," and the fact it only has one horn is covered up by the giant... What are those things? Wings?

Lacus is awesome, ya'll shut up.

Back to my original point though. Know what was awesome? 8th MS Team. Nothing but grunts.

What do you mean by "True Unicorn"? That I posted Unicorn in destroy mode (the white one with all the red inner bits)? I was just picking out kits from the line overall, as he didn't specify if he wanted just the Unicorn Gundam model.

Too bad the MG Unicorn is kind of a mess...

Both the OVA and Ver Ka are kinda fragile due to the transformation.

Aaaaand suddenly I don't like Unicorn anymore.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting the MM as a display piece and the HGs as something I can pose around and attach to stands a lot. Plus there's more suits in the HG scale. The PG is the best but way too expensive. It'd easily cost over $300 once shipping and customs factor in.

Luna is better.

ALL YOUR SEED GIRLS ARE TRASH!
every SEED girl is trash.
like every character.

the only good SEED material is Stargazer and the Astray stories.

like, objectively SEED is bad and poorly written.

what you want is the MG Jesta.

probably one of the best MG model kits right now.
and it's the Jesta.
what's not to like about that?

Beautiful MS designs though.

When they actually put effort in... *stares hatefully at DOM Trooper*

Damn right.

SEED Is pretty much UC but written for girls. :lol

If only Astray could've been the main story instead....

Nobody likes SEED, even talked to one of my co-worker and he hates it haha. He said he only enjoyed Stargazer.
