Char's CA should have been like a 90 minute movie or a full on series as it is just down right boring as a two hour movie. It is convoluted, the whole Amuro/Char thing feels out of place and out of the blue, and the characters of the movie are absolutely useless. NOt to mention they don't get any development. I mean, was I supposed to care about Amuro's g/f? Am I supposed to care about Quess?

Been catching up on magical girl war

Gundam Unicorn episode 1

Way to start off the Universal Century with a bang.

I swear that red haired chick looks like that girl from the Gantz anime, especially in her suit, its really distracting. But she does pilot a really good mobile suit. As with Banagher's brown haired friend, I swear she looks like Rise from Persona 4.

I could honestly talk about the art an animation for hours on end. The art is beautiful and the action scenes are a godsend. Seeing Kshatriya using its funnels and attacking is such a beauty to see. And the Londo bell units look so beautiful. All of the characters look sort of generic but its still in the Gundam style so I can forgive them.

The scale is really awesome, everything feels big and gunshots and funnels and beam sabers sound right.

I thought it was a really odd twist that the Vist guy was actually Banagher's dad. i understand it was to push him over the edge to pilot the Unicorn but its just a weird twist to put in when I know almost nothing about the dude.

This episode essentially set up the Lapalace Box and people refer to it in really mysterious ways as world changing and the Unicorn somehow ties into it. My theory?

It evolves Newtypes into something above and beyond. People talk about it changing the world and stuff, so if one person could evolve beyond Newtypes and lead a rebellion against the Federation and destroying it, that would be world changing.

And if anybody has finished Unicorn, please please please don't spoil it for me. Even if its in spoiler tags, just don't post it.

Also something of note: This is the first Gundam thing I've ever paid for. Before this point, I had always been renting old DVD sets or watching through Gundaminfo (or illegally to finish ZZ since I started it on Daisuki), so renting Unicorn on PSN was my first contribution to giving back to the creators for making such an awesome show.

HAHAHAHAhahahahahaha!!! YES!!!

I don't get it.

Is this like the MMPR fan film kickstarter?

Harmony Gold is the company that made Robotech and due to terrible circunstances still has control over the Macross license in the west, which has kept us from getting... well anything, add to that some jerkish nehavior like trying to sue Hasbro means that they are... despised.

Recently they made a Kickstarter for a new show called Robotech Academy, which was finished before it could fail.

So in other words, people are happy that Harmony Gold failed.

Oh weren't they the peeps that tried to sue Hasbro because of the whole Jetfire thing?

Oh. So, for me, it would be like if whoever at Bandai is dealing with the western distribution got fired and I was jumping for joy for a kick to the evil side of Bandai's metaphorical nuts?

I think all Kickstarters are a scam, but Harmony Gold is the company that owns Robotech, so it would be an official series. THey are also the reason we cannot get anything Macross released in the US anymore as they are giant babies who think they own anything and everything Macross related. They wanted to do another Robotech series so they started a Kickstarter. It has thankfully failed.

The only time they will get any money from me is if they release the original Macross on BD!!!

And yes, they sued Hasbro for Jetfire.
