    This is a 12 episode season. 4 episodes dedicated per novel. Storytelling bad? I have to disagree completely. A little fast? Yes. One of the reasons why I enjoy this season a good amount, is because things are actually happening and it doesn't take 10 episodes of meandering in space to get somewhere plot relevant. Blending the story arcs into something original rarely works well at least in anime. Fans of the novels would have complained they weren't faithfully adapted and they're still complaining about all of the changes made in TSR. Although I like some of the changes made in TSR especially Gate's character, but honestly I have seen enough " anime original" material that skewed away from the original source material ( naruto, bleach, violet evergarden, kenshin, the first Fate/Stay Night anime) that the odds would not be in it's favor.

    Every time I see it, I want one, but then I see the reviews and then shrug away. It would be nice if ET made some significant build quality improvements to the Zeta and Iota, but I am not hopeful.

    I definitely hope the blu-ray improves some of the funkier faces, some of the music placement and even some of the material they obviously cut out due to time constraints. Episode 10 was bad in terms of character art, although not the worse I have ever seen ( Gundam IBO S1 and Muv Love Total Eclipse are still worse). Episode 11+ 12 being an hour special and airing all the way to July 18th....hopefully they have enough time to make it look decent. I have waited 13 years to see the laevatein animated, I hope things will be okay. LOL oddly two-dimensional.....like this was an animated cartoon or something? Whelp, you're missing out on a pretty solid story, but whatever.

    00 7 swords, first release Exia, battle damaged Exia, and Laevatein have all gotten loose in some of their joints for me. Everything strike freedom onwards has been quite good except my Arbalest which had a loose ankle joint out of the box.
  5. SuperHobo
    Some of the older releases turned floppy, but could be tightened back up with some floor polish. Starting around strike freedom, Bandai started reinforcing the joints to stay tight longer at least IMO.

    The "Die Hard in a boat incident" was not animated. On the one hand I think KyoAni can animate well, after the work on FMP years ago the president of KyoAni claimed TSR tired them out and would probably not animate mechs again (which has been true for the past 13 years). After watching Violet Evergarden I think KyoAni would have added a lot of unnecessary changes to FMP instead of straight up adapting the source material like Xebec is doing. Additionally, KyoAni's night scenes in Violet Evergarden were so poorly lit you could not see what was happening. Why draw all of these amazing frames of animation when you can't see most of what is happening? Xebec did a good job on lighting all of the night scenes during the Burning One Man Force arc in IV. On the other hand, I'm not quite use to the redesigns Xebec used for the characters in FMP IV. They're like a hybrid of their former anime and manga incarnations, leaning closer to their manga designs. What I do appreciate most about this Xebec adaptation is their attention to mechanical detail on close-ups on any of the arm-slaves, guns, cars, engines etc.

    Not to be a party pooper on the E=X Garland, but Japanese reviews, especially on amazon have not been favorable. Brace yourselves for those who bought it.
  8. SuperHobo
    It looks like the Freeing E=X Garland is out in the wild.

    There should be two rectangle divets on each side of the booster, trying grabbing on to those with your finger nails and then trying pulling it out. I opened Ray up today and I definitely agree the tolerances are better on this toy over Stig's. I moved around the armor bits and ankle guards a lot and nothing popped off making this a much more positive experience. Oddly, the crotch piece is a little higher than Stig's and now I really can't use the lower waist joint at all, but hey that means I won't be tempted to chip paint. I'm almost tempted to sell my V1 Stig and pick up the reissue in September if there's a chance the build quality will be better. Oh yeah and there were zero stress marks on Ray's handlebars.

    I could use a Ground Gundam and EZ-8, it would be EZ money. Gouf custom too. But seriously, 0083 line and I might be able to quit Gundam forever.

    I think as long as the cannons hold their position it should be fine? The ARMDs were a pain in the ass to put on. So much so I was basically lightly sanding off the top coat on the connectors in order to get them on.

    While I don't like the art style, this is just a kids show marketed towards kids , therefore this doesn't affect me. No harm no foul.

    FMP Another is set 10 years after the end of FMP. Episode 5 is following the novel Burning One Man Force which is the novel right after Continuing On My Own ( ep 1-4). Episode 5 is not the past, it's the present. You'll find out more why Sousuke went to Namsac later.

    It feels good that this Yamato remake is finally getting the attention it deserves internationally with official subs and bluray releases coming down the pipeline. It's a good time to be a fan.

    Beware of the small clear plastic adapter pieces! They're very fragile.
  16. SuperHobo
    Yeah, that sounds like them. It was like that for Zero, UBW, Apocrypha, and now Heaven's Feel. The Fate gatekeepers be angry and whiny. It's a good thing the shows still entertain me.
  17. SuperHobo
    Kind of like the Fate franchise or the Netflix Voltron fandom, I just choose to ignore most of them and I'm much happier for it. Gosh, being in the premiere for Heaven's Feel was one of the worst decisions I ever made.
