yea if kira's ms is broken his gf will build him a new one

sigh... Here we go again...

Memory refresher! - previous related post

And in light of recent events, I'd like to make a few more additions.

Actually I really like it if the Alternate Timeline Gundam series' showcases storylines that are unconventional compared to the linear realism of the UC Timeline. After all, being free from the rigid rules of UC allows some possibilities for different kinds of world settings. The story for G Gundam is truly original for Gundam and undoubtfully a nod to the pre-First Gundam era of superhero robots. Those familiar with the likes of Giant Robo and GaoGaiGar will understand such unique amalgam of retro and modern attributes. If possible those AT Gundam series' should not have any resemblance to UC (unless with good reason), rather they should experiment with different story concepts. If they do relegate to a UC Gundam retelling, it should be at least be damn unique. Anyone familiar with Tomino-sama's 'For The Barrel' work? Damn unique...

In short, Alternate Timeline Gundam should be ways different than the UC Gundam, cause there's no point watching an exact remake of a UC series; might as well go watch the original, which is loads better, anyway. So does Mobile Fighter G Gundam work? win the Uniqueness and Originality Awards? Yep, accolades all round... .

And about the MF (Mobile Fighters) designs; well, what else can you expect from the plagued-with-redundancy-these-days Kunio Okawara? His mecha designs for the earlier three Alternate Timeline series' were good, considering; but once the excursion into the mecha designs of the SEED universe began, the repetition of his non-evolving style becomes too obvious (even more when compared with other SEED side stories' mecha designs like Astray for example; which was done by other people and thus looks a hell lot cooler-looking). Most of the MSs are glaring recaps of his previous works, e.g. Freedom is not even an original design concept (Double X, anyone?). Regardless, SEED is fundamentally a been-there-done-that product, so no surprise there.

Granted, his G Gundam hero units designs are good, but he does pretty low-grade designs for the other supporting units. It would have been better if Hajime Katoki did the designs for the friendly MFs like he did with the enemy units for G Gundam (as also proven with his great designs for the OZ units in Gundam Wing). But hey, even if some of the MFs are truly weird-looking, you have to agree that it does fulfil G Gundam's theme-based concept, thus maintaining the series' unique original identity.

Still, hopefully in future Gundam titles, Sunrise will opt to use the likes of Hajime Katoki, Kimitoshi Yamane and Junya Ishigaki for mecha designers; no more Okawara, please! But I can only hope and pray...


Now, for the rest:
Instant win for watching a UC series and understanding it.

Didn't end well? Nope. Considering that classic UC Gundam protagonists usually loses either their life or their most treasured people, what happened to Kou Uraki in the end can be considered a blessing.

And if people think Kou had a bad/sad end in 0083, wait till they delve into Tomino-sama's Gundam. What anime out there that can surpass his portrayal of tragedy and loss? Tomino-sama did not get his "Kill 'Em All" official honourary title for making cheap war flicks, you know... Even Hideaki Anno and his apocalyptic Neon Genesis Evangelion was primarily influenced by Tomino-sama's works.

A far cry from Mitsuo "Recycle 'Em All" Fukuda and his phailed videogame-esque warfare of SEED. Hyok.

Truth be told, there's nothing wrong with being a GSD fan, everyone is free to indulge in their favourite fancies.

But if GSD fans keep blindly insisting that GSD is the best Gundam show ever, then I'd willingly spew these to 'em:

If they know and respect the ultimate truth, then there's hope for them to further attain true enlightenment...

Umm, why? SF don't have enough bling already?

Hence, G Gundam is the answer to the problem... There's nothing more hero in Gundam than Domon Kasshu, King of Hearts and student of the Toho Fuhai School of Martial Arts, and the rest of the Shuffle Alliance


P.S.: gsdfan once said: "Kira is A MUST in every seed series.... No Kira no SEED." That is unfortunately true . In that case I present to all; the Quote of the Year:
If there is Kira Yamato, it becomes SEED. If there is no Kira Yamato, it becomes Gundam.
Savvy? For better effect, try saying it using teh MasterYodaVoice... Har har har... feel teh truth!

IMO, the CE timeline is totally spoiled.
And I dun like the Godlike Cordinators concept......

Just hope Gundam will come out with new timeline....

Well, I'm looking forward to the next Gundam series, SeeD or not.

But like many posted before me, I also have enough of Kira - 2 series!!

Dont want that loser either... what's that name who dated that retarded girl that fell off the cliff into the sea.

We need a new story, new Gundam, new hero. An adult hero that deals with adult situation will be nice.

yeah...hey to be exactly sure of the original Zeta ending....


well there's still a last installment for SEED series....the 'STARGAZER'...meaning it will be the end of CE(i hope)
but whats with the name 'STARGAZER'?
all the character tired of war and go "gaze' at the star at the end?...XD



well good news for you is there're not yet news on Kira appearence in STARGAZER....
but we won't know until the last minute..........

the name stargazer came from "Project Stargazer" in the anime. God knows wat that is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_SEED_C.E._73:_Stargazer

actually StarGazer is a brand of telescope and its very popular among amateur astronomer

if not mistaken...
this will have ALOT of large sized mobile suit just like the the later age of UC...

Yup those overreuse animation just got to way out of hand, That in the end they were some graphic error...

as one incident where Shinn Impulse was slicing a Windam in 2 and all
the sudden Impulse become strike for 2-3 sec.

Yeah I also like 0083 cool mecha and cool, story matther of fact it was my fav Gundam Anime.


The only Gundam show that i like so far now is MS IGlOO.

No offence... but ZOMFG !! More Kira???

Next one we'll see CE 75... Gundam Seed Kira !! Kira will be piloting the new Kira Gundam, with loads of bling bling, reflective shields and force fields all over, and he'll take out every unit in the universe without touching a button, without moving his gundam.... He'll just stand in the middle of the universe, blink his eye, and WHAM... every MS in the universe will break their heads and arms... yet no one dies....

Kira Gundam... Behold DA POWWWWAAAAARRRRR!!!

OMG... .... This aint gundam anymore.... It's KIRA....

i'm currently downloading the char's counterattack movie.

Is it neccessary for me to watch the Zeta series before moving into amuro's final chapter?

and is stardust memory good?

Char counterattack ehh? UC does not appeal much to youngster like me. Too much wisdom crap that made it hard to understand.

Prefer 0080, war in pocket more easy to understand.

edit: But I still prefer GSD

but i must say that ppl in UC timeline suffer more than Seed timeline. xD

Agree almost like RWI. They make too serious that I won't be surprised if anyone one died so i won't feel much feelings(like Quess Paraya). However, if some really hot retarded chick like Stellar died I really feel the feeling.

lawl..thats explain why most of my friends and i doesnt share the same taste in the UC gundams and macross.

well at least many people die with more 'instant'....shoot beam to suit and explode....die.....Xd
i still cant forget about nicole's death scene....to eerie,the beam saber sticking in her body almost cutting in half........

Anyone seen ninja robots? That's my fav mecha anime in the early 90s.

Macross- like it's song.. Minmei's tenshi enogu.

thats the nicole in GS right? i thought its a he?

why is everyone thinks that nicole is a he rather than a she!!!
