I'm now looking up all the suits from G Gundam. These things are hilarious

A Queen's Guard is a pretty good choice to base a British one on. Do they go to the UK in the show? And if so is it represented as a foggy place with horse-drawn carriages like every other anime of the 80s/90s has it?

Like just about every Gundam show eventually there will be an upgrade. I just think that if they want to clown on every other country safely then they should do it to themselves as well and no one would think twice about it. Gundam Maxter cracks me up as their idea of Americans. Football, surfing/skateboard, boxing, and cowboys. They just mashed it all together then made it red, white, and blue. Surprised the Gundam wasn't overweight or something lol.

Pretty much yes and yes. If I remember correctly the UK had actually won the tournament a few times in the past.

Oh man I need to bump this show up my watch list.

Why bother to include that third pilot in G-Gundam 4?

Either way, this show makes every country look bad! The French came across as such total dicks in this episode (although I guess at least they weren't running away OOO CONTROVERSIAL) and the Rose Gundam felt so shit after the pure awesome that was the Dragon Gundam.

What I am enjoying is it seems with each new Gundam, Domon struggles more, I mean Domon could have actually been beaten by the Dragon and it looks like he could have lost to Rose as well, if he wasn't trying to save the princess. I'm hoping this means, coupled with the foreshadowing, that the Bolt Gundam really puts up a fight. Plus they levelled the Eiffel tower in this fight

If the animation wasn't so insanely dated, this show really would be quite awesome.

Maybe it is because I'm not American but I didn't think Maxter was nearly as in your face as the Dragon Gundam was. I mean he had the football helmet, the colours and the boxing but with the way this show is, I'm more surprised it wasn't a giant eagle that fought with a laser version of the American flag while the national Anthem blared out of speakers on its shoulders.

That seems to be par for the course for every Gundam. Except Neo-Sweden's, who gets the...Oddest design.

This should have been America's Gundam (I can't wait for the figure)

Episode 4 of Tekkaman, the plot finally moves!

To be fair to the show, it does a good job of building its world and populating that world with fleshed characters but just so much of this feels unoriginal by this point, even if they may have been the first ones to do it. Still it's nice to watch a show like this that has put in effort outside of the fights, and knows a quiet moment every now and then works a treat. Although Noal is a fucking DICK.

I'm also impressed that they managed to make a simple change like giving the bugs flight and it added a whole new level of energy to the action. Still I'm waiting for a villain who can really put up a fight, since even Dagger was pretty useless.
