A good, albeit short gundam fleet battle (actual fleet battle) is in the first episode of MS IgLoo - it's somewhat obscure, and has only been fansubbed so far, but it shows the first real battle where mobile suits are used. Oh, and as a bonus, it's in CG I think all the Gundam series have naval battles. I remember an anime series which featuring statue like ship involved in a space battles, I think the title is Maps or something 352814[/snapback] Just wondering, could the battles in Gundam 0083 be considered a battles? Did'nt Gato make the naval review at Konpiteh (check spelling) glow in the dark with an Mk-82 nuclear warhead? and then at the climactic part of this show did'nt the same Mr. Gato just murder the Federation fleet with the Neue Ziel? This two battles look more like massacres than ship vs. ship a.ka. fleet battles? 352835[/snapback]

Wasn't the Neue Ziel's only major flaw that it had primarily beam weapons? I just remember seeing in 0083 that it couldn't do anything against the Stamen until it knocked out the I-field generator - whereas the stamen could pound it with missiles. I'm going to have to see that series again sometime soon. Now that is a good combination. I do like all four Neue Ziel, Alpha Azieru, GP03 Dendobrium Stamen and M.E.T.E.O.R units. I just wished the M.E.T.E.O.R had more missle banks. Then it could be up there with the GP03 Dendobrium Stamen. If I had to take my pick it would be a Strike Freedom paired with the M.E.T.E.O.R. 351225[/snapback]

Still a little too much for me - I liked the 40 dollar zakus better.

Those seem like minor changes except for the voice overs - did they remove anything major, like dialogue wise? I tend to find myself skipping over the voice dialog most of the time, since I've usually read the dialogue text by the time they're on the third word. My brother enjoys guessing what sterotypical voice they'll use for each character. FF12 Demo was short, and kind of sucked hard. It didn't seem all that great, and I don't like the whole only controlling one character at a time thing. Graphics are the same thing as in 10 but the colors seem a bit more washed out for realism.

I thnk he posted it moreso for the price - Doesn't that set go for like around $100 dollars? Doesn't matter to me, I have the Matrix and the Animatrix, the only two good things to come out the entire debacle of a franchise.

I have it on preorder somewhere. One thing I like about it is that the cel-shading is done by Level 5, who did the cel shading for Dark Cloud 2, which is well done (I'm playing through it right now, 50+ hours and I'm still on the third chapter, damn spehda and fishing). I'm hoping the animation is done as well as it is in that game. Oh, and it comes with FFXII demo too - sweet.

Prefer the YF-19 if we have to choose - the 21 doesn't look that great to me, but that's probably my own view.

Hmm- didn't we just pay for the 1/48 VF-1 like a week ago - I'm in if the price is right - does anyone have pics of the 1/48s?

Just to let you all know, gundamstoreandmore.com has some of the 1st Release Strike Freedom and Destiny still in stock - the ones with the stands.

I seen a couple of these videos before for gundam stuff - they're actually pretty good - and have some good and interesting ideas. The only thing is they are not subbed, so you kind of have to just watch and see what they are doing. There was one with this absolutely batty guy who made a rick dom with an effect that looked like that wood paneling on old station wagons. I was like WTF. THe Wood came out nicely, though.

Which version did we end up getting anyway? THe one with the diecast wheel or the one with the resin ones?

From the google translation of the page - it looks like it was a garage kit that was offered at Wonder Festival in August 21, 2005 and should be on sale for mail order this month - 44 centimeters tall - 28 parts - self assemble/paint/ etc - what's expected of a garage kit. Price - only 30,000 yen ($300 ) Here's some place selling it - Gainix also has it for preorder on thier site (scroll down) http://www2.gainax.co.jp/shop/list.cgi?genre=8 http://www.rakuten.co.jp/doneunyo/669220/669593/669595/

By the way, is it me or is next week going to be another recap episode? 325717[/snapback] From Flets, http://flets.gundam-seed-d.net/WEST/story.html Sounds like lots of reused footage but doesn't sound like a recap. 325761[/snapback] PLease tell me this isn''t true . .. Seriously . . . you've got to be f-ing kidding me. They do realize that there's what only three episodes left. ANd I thought we SAW 90% of the recap footage of her in this episode. Not to mention we had a recap episde about 6 episodes ago. Seed Destiny is starting to remind me of the second episode of the animated clerks series. The sheer laziness of the staff on this entire production amazes me. But we did learn that Arthrun is a badass with a pistol.

BTW - all the MGs are back on sale at amazon - 15 instead of 20 for Kampher and GP02, 9 instead of 15 for GP01 and Fb, RX-79, EZ8 and 7 and change for RX-78 ver 1, Zaku (red and gree) and the GM. Damn I wish i didn't have all of these kits already.

Reminds me of a quote from Futurama where they travel underwater to the lost city of Atlanta -- Leela: Five thousand feet! Prof. Farnsworth: Dear Lord, that's over one hundred-fifty atmospheres of pressure. Fry: How many atmospheres can the ship withstand? Prof. Farnsworth: Well, it's a spaceship, so I'd say anywhere between zero and one.
