Well, Sunrise want to make some different design this time. Cant blame them
If not, later got more people complaint the design of this MS tiru design of that MS la or something like that (like MS in Gundam Seed/Destiny was). If the design is the criteria, then Turn A will be the one that have the most not-Gundam design (round head and misai)

gg-BSS or Menclave. Dont bother with Nyoro~n.

gg + bss have better translations imo, however menclave have WAY better picture quality, better stereo envelopment (especially if you use 5.1 or better speaker settings), and even better size compression. so im sticking with menclave.

shinsen used to be the "speed sub" (nyoron is excluded for obvious reason) for season1, this season they were a lil late but *SHOULD* catch up as they have quite a number of gundam 00 fans in their team

i prefer 1a and 2a..but actually i think 2a and 2b not much difference

hard to compare with still shots. as theres no hardware acceleration etc. in terms of which release comparison:
menclave. both video and audio are superior compared to gSS, ESPECIALLY audio, WAY BETTER surround sound envelopment. (yes i use 5.1 surround, as shown on my sig)
that said, imo, gSS translations are better

translations could also sum up to how the english grammer/sentences were done. some translation can be accurate, but due to how japanese and english language differences, you just cant directly translate over and expect it to "mean" the same, or be sensible. gSS does better editing on the english portion, thus i consider gSS to have better translation over menclave.

video/audio, while video can be pretty subjective, but menclave encodes have clearer images, less grains and noise. could be cuz of the brightness? who knows. audio part is a lil more obvious, but since not everyone have 5.1, i guess its not as important either.

for the subs blocking the scenes, imo, so long your typeset is done well (which both menclave/gss does good), its not a problem to me. the ED from menclave MAYBE, as their kanji is done really huge lol...

Well. I download from menclave and I dont think its a problem. Maybe its just a way they do it.. To show uniqueness?

BTW: i have a question. Is it really A-Laws. Because it sounds like they are saying Arrows.
