It is emotion and and it only seems like magic, thanks to technology. "Any sufficient advance in technology is indistinguishable from magic." Arthur C. Clark's 3rd Law.

here ya go:

Doubtful any of them would be part of BC. But considering they just had a bunch of meteors land on top of them, the blame becomes all geared toward PLANT. More like, "Does it matter who did it?". Those were ZAFT GINNs. The images have spread out across the news services. People have seen the images of GINNs. Only 1 group uses GINNs; PLANT. The hate becomes more simple. Something also came up, Murrue is not using her last name "Ramius". Wonder if Andy is also not using his last name as well. Hummm... Also, the way Talia just squeezed Arthur's arm when he saw Murrue was just priceless. Also, Andy probably has a prosthetic arm. Not uncommon for people who are missing limbs. Word from the magazine previews indicate that Shinn and Kira will fight around episode 14. Shinn, being the newbie and such...he'll be 0-1 (read: 0 wins, 1 lost) for now. Something else from the previews is that Athrun will have his own faction with Minerva, considering ORB is swinging closer with EA....time for a new 3rd party. BTW, use some official translations, not the early fansubs names. http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/ce/ch...ters/index.html http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encycloped...nime.php?id=883 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encycloped...ime.php?id=2669

Yeah, you gotta wonder about that, quoting something...what are we in december...almost 4 months later.

Well, that fits into Shinn's little outburst at Cagalli. Coordinators will get the blame for allowing Junius 7 to fall. Naturals will go on the offensive (just as ZAFT did in the Bloody Valentine incident) and strike back hard. Any lingering doubt will be swept away by BC's propaganda machine. The phrase "The only good <fill in the blank> is dead <<fill in the blank>" will be felt. You know, I've been trying to find one myself. Although, if it has character designs, I could care less. So far, I can't find one with good, clean lineart, not just designs with colored lineart. The File Mechanics books are full of designs but no lineart. It's so hard to find some clean, no color, lineart.

Is he willing to? Yes. Does he want to? Probably no. He probably likes the voices he picks for his characters (who wouldn't, since he is the director) and would not change them. It's been 20 years and he didn't change the voice of Roy so... For games, yes he will use different voices (he got a new VA for Hikaru in the PS2 game) but I don't think he will for animated productions.

The Dagger-Ls are decendents of the original Daggers. The 2 cannons you see on those Dagger-Ls are striker packs, so-to-speak (mission-variable armaments). Duel's mass-produced Daggers are the Duel Daggers (or Long Daggers as the were originally called). http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/index.htm And as we move down the line, the Windams are the decendents of the Daggers. Concerning the OS, lots of stuff gets mentioned in the Astray mangas. Not to mention notes from the producers that doesn't get heard much. In fact, the treaty stuff, no N-Jammer Cancellers and nukes of any kind, that was a note from the producers. In fact, all those notes that Mark Simmons put up on the official site, that's all material from the producers. Not much of that stuff is mentioned in the series. It's a good idea if you read other forums and info sites (like Gunota) from time to time. Word from the grapevine indicates that ORB will actually be siding with EA instead of staying neutral this time.

The dots don't quite connect for "Buster to Calamity to Abyss. Blitz to Raider to Gaia and so on." It's more like Duel+Buster+Strike to Calamity to Dagger (Long Dagger, Buster Dagger, Gunbarrel Dagger) to Dagger L to Windam. Blitz to Forbidden to Forbidden Blue to Deep Forbidden. ZAFT's Gundams follow the trend from ZAFT's MS. BuCUE + LaGOWE to Gaia GOOhN + ZnO to Abyss GINN + CGUE + GuAIZ + Providence to Chaos (However, Chaos lacks the DRAGOON system and replaces that with wireless gunbarrels, which is a great improvement vs. the EA wired gunbarrels on Moebius Zero, Gunbarrel Striker, and Exus). DINN leads to Saviour. Yep. Magazine previews indicate that Saviour won't show till episode 9 or 10 (forgot which). It will be a present from Gilbert to Athrun. Also next week's episode is suppose to show that ORB has slowly been making deals with EA....If that is, ORB is playing quite a game playing both sides.

I believe the TV series and the Movies are the ones we use. Since most of the sequels are based off of the TV series/Movies, we use those.

Geez, it's gonna take a generation or 2 to remove that "VF-1D == trainer" crap. Oh, the VF-0B is official. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../vf0/index.html However, since the VF-0B is nothing more than a VF-0A with a second seat.... Also the VF-0D is not just for electronic warfare, it is also designed with enhanced combat in mind. Also, did it ever spark something up there that Shin was flying a VF-0D, not because he was training in it, but because that was his permanent assignment?

Actually, she shows up in this episode. No dialogue though. The dialogue we hear from Lacus this episode is from the "with Kira" Lacus. One thing about the footage of the Zala-faction GINNs. All that footage was from before Girty Lue entered the combat area. The Girty Lue did not get to Junius 7 until after Dearka and his team already set up the operation on Junius 7. Which reminded me of something from ep. 5. Jibril was quite ready to start something but the rest of the BC council decided to take a wait-and-see reaction. After they left, Jibril took that response a tad negatively. And now he has footage of the GINNs setting up Junius 7 to fall.

Hummm, isn't there something in the Hyperspace TOS that mentions something against posting Hyperspace-exclusive pics?

I think it's this guy. Watch the Ep3 game trailer. Beware of spoilers.

Blast does have a Beam Javelin (and I've seen the lineart for Blast so for sure all Silhouette packs have some sort of beam-melee weapon). And the MSiAs also have the javelins. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/zgmf-x56sy.htm Shinn will probably have SEED mode, but he needs a reason to go into it. Shinn hasn't been placed in that situation yet. If SF State has blocked Bittorrent (Go to Animesuki.com) and all other P2P apps and other stuff, you're SOL. You're only choice after that would be newsgroups.

Eventually it will show. Speculation is pointing to by the end of the 1/4th point of the series, we will see Freedom again. Simple. Impulse is a prototype. It's designed to enter combat yet it is still a concept mech. Don't expect it to have all its bells and whistles all at once.

But those ZAFT pilots have never seen Athrun in action. Along the lines of "different generation" (even though they really aren't far apart in age). The disrespect is along the lines of "what can you do?" (which they found out quickly). This generation of pilots never saw the war, so they don't quite understand Athrun. From Athrun's POV, I'm sure his character is saying, "You kids don't know what you're getting into. You haven't seen what I've seen. Tease me all you want but when your guts are all over the cockpit and you're crying for mommy, don't look to me for help." Until this generation of pilots has seen what Athrun has seen, or matured a bit, Athrun will see them as kids who have yet to learn history's mistakes. It's that level of maturity that this generation of pilots will have to work up to.

Good, I need to watch something completely wrong for this world. Mech and spiritual stuff is taken care of. I still need to work off my romatic-comedies backlog. So it works out.

Phase-shift is nothing to beam weapons. The Windam won't show up until episode 9 (according to the text) so we won't know it's potential until then. It kinda reminds me of the Nero (MSA-007) from Gundam Sentinal.

Shinn is quite fresh at the beginning of the series. In fact, his combat experience is next to nill. He's good enough on paper to be in the Special forces....But compared harden war vets like Athrun or Kira....the boy will get a serious whippin. In fact, in episode 6, he gets lesson #1, never get close to a suicidal GINN pilot. I think we need to fill you in. That flashback on episode 1 took place 2 years ago on ORB. Shinn's family were citizens of ORB and they were making their way to the transport during the attack on ORB by the EA. Well, you saw the grusome details. After that, he joined ZAFT (for obvious reasons, he's a Coordinator) and was assigned to Minerva as the test pilot for Impulse. Just shows you how much of a newb Shinn is. Shinn can't even damage them while Yzak and Athrun send them home in pieces...in one battle. edit: Oh yeah....Windam, EA's new mass-production suit. According to Gunota, it's got mission-specific weapons packs (Striker packs). Looks like a it's more of a space -MS than a all-environment MS.

That's one of her more recent publicity pics. This is her official site. http://www.marimusic.com/

I think someone mentioned he's been having server problems lately. The site has been off and on since the beginning of the month. Technically, yes. But the Sword parts are still effective for MS-melee combat (look at Sword Calamity).

Remember, Ms. Ijima was 18 when she did the voice and songs for Minmay (for SDFM). That sweet innocent voice from 20 years ago ain't there anymore. In fact, I doubt any of us will have the same voice 20 years from now.

Actually, it's just Shinn's bad luck that he's fighting at distances (which the Sword pack is not built for). Also, when he was hitting Gaia and Chaos, he was hitting them with the blunt ends (non-beam parts) of the blade/boomerang. Oops.

It won't be much of a colony drop. They already cut it down to about 1/4 of its original size. And that 1/4 has been split into 3 pieces. Minerva will will be shotting down the rest with her positron gun so there won't be much of a drop.
