    I actually liked Thunderbolt, but I do have to say it has the worst soundtrack of just about anything ever. Reminds me of the Ed Edd n Eddy soundtrack, but if they got drunk and forgot the notes

    Finally! After almost 15 years I got my Yamato Max and Milia VF-1J Supers. Max came like 3 years ago and Milia has been boxed for like 2 weeks. Been busy for a little with no time to fire up the PC to edit the image sizes. Arcadia were a joy when I got them but soon the joy faded away because of hard points issues. All the hard points on my Milia had stress marks and one on my Max's just popped from the very beginning. Max rainbow canopy effect is still intact. I will check Milia on the weekend. ... Also, count 12...

    As much as I love Gundam, I've found the writing in the last few installments of Gundam to be pretty darn underwhelming. I'm not one of those fans who enjoys those all flash and no substance titles like Thunderbolt or SEED Freedom. I'd rather they take a few years between titles to come up with a really compelling story to tell instead of churning out a new series every year. Telling amazing stories is something they're eminently capable of. They've just been green-lighting a lot of mediocre nonsense lately.

    Was in tag hobby this morning and as expected for the Tekkaman linereally looks great, but then something a little less expected And then the ones that I wasn’t really expecting but nearly brought a tear to my eyeFinally Dagger, don’t get me wrong, Axe was a cool one to throw in also, but Dagger really has needed some love since he was the baddie for a while before Evil showed up. I bet we’re getting more as well eventually since some of these are really getting into the obscure and I’m excited

    How about they revive the mg line instead. I know there are still occasional mg kits, but I mean back to the glory days where we had variety like gelgoogs, Doms, jegans, Geara dogas, and oddball items like the ball or the Z’Gok. things like the Zaku FZ or the above GP 03 should have been mg kits, but at least there was some love for them in the re line.

    I personally hate time travel/ multiverse plots. What if kinda things aren’t so bad, but only if those what ifs don’t cross over to become time travel/multiverse plots. Those plots weren’t so bad, until it became the only plot going for every franchise and yeah they definitely get the no real stakes thing going since nothing seems to matter.

    Dunno about the slippers, but the rest of that kit really looks like it improves those two.

    Right? And it would allow for the new version to have her own persona and idiosyncrasies, so a new actress (or actor, since it may be a "son") could make that role truly their own.
  16. Big s
    That definitely wouldn’t be as bad as a straight recast

    I remember that incident, I also think there was an interview over his old show anniversary a few years back. But not much else

    Hoping it’s at least available here

    I also wonder if surplus destroids were purchased by several municipalities and modified for other purposes? *Imagines a destroid plowing the road after a snowstorm in December*

    You'd think they'd be mostly abandoned, but not only we have said modernizations (which seemed to be popular in their own right,) but they appear as the occasional enemies in VF-X2. Initially I thought they were only used by Vinderance, a resistance group that used what they can get their hands on, who may or may not got potential backing from Max himself (that's probably the reason why their fleet is made up of the same type of Meltran ships the UN uses in there.) But come Mission 10A, Defenders, Phalanxs, and Tomahawks acted as the main defense force of the under construction Ceres Base; and it wasn't a place in the middle of the boonies, Vinderance specifically target it as it was a front line base in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter against external threats, as its wide-range jamming capabilities can divert attention away from Earth. (Granted the near identical Mission 10B where you destroy the Vinderance Base not only has the same Destroids and Annabella Lasiodora as the boss, but looks exactly the same as an incomplete Macro-Training Base Ship we see in the Macross 7 fleet, but it's Macross, you can hand wave it somehow, if not for how the Latence route almost definitively didn't happen.) My guess is that Destroids would be better suited as a economic solution to base and city defense compared to the more costly VFs since Frontier and Delta have them in those roles; though then again there were the VF-1s stationed at Apollo Base in Mars and the Diamond Fleet being relocated as City 7's defense, so who's to say?

    I think they need to give the Gundam universe a rest for a bit before embarking on another new series. Take some time to really think about characters, potential storylines and series concepts, as they seem to be "running on fumes" at this point (trying to be more charitable than just writing them off as "lazy" and such). Your take on this, Seto?

    Whether the ISO survived through the surviving engineers who formed all of the post-war companies or simply was reformed after the war ... I'm just going to leave this here because it's true either way. https://xkcd.com/927/ Sincerely, A guy who sits on like five standards committees at the SAE. (AKA "Part of the problem")

    He moved away from the industry after the death of his wife in 91, in order to better care for their kids. The last time I heard anything about him was in 2020 when he was assaulted while walking down a street in Manhattan.
