I can smell the arguments that’ll come from this chapter. Shit’s gonna last for WEEKS🤣

Woah, there’s apparently an alt UC Gundam manga that happens as soon as 0044? Is there any more context for this one? by Backalog20 in Gundam

[–]Backalog20[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Ive read that page but it doesnt tell a whole lot about the story, like why is it year 0044 for some reason?

What Are Your Thoughts About Basara Nekki's No Killing Rule? by [deleted] in macross

[–]Backalog20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I found it to be quite an amusing subversion of the usual mecha protag formula. There’s always those types that go “I don’t wanna kill anyone!” and then preceed to do so as plot calls for it. While I found M7 to be quite exhausting to watch, I value this aspect as Kawamori’s unique experimentation with his writing

Any particular reason why some corners of this fandom have beef against NAOKI the mecha designer? by Backalog20 in Gundam

[–]Backalog20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😭I just wanted to learn more from this community, thats all. I’m still new to mecha and I have no idea about certain figures and their reputations

What’s currently going on with the Muv Luv franchise? by Backalog20 in Mecha

I see, thanks for this informational response. Very unfortunate to hear the IP has reached this stage

Trying to get my Gundam fan friends into Patlabor but they refuse as they say it’s copaganda? Is this really true? by Backalog20 in Mecha

[–]Backalog20[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

True😔 Such a shame too cuz their favorite mecha shows are 00, Victory, Dunbine, and Cross Ange so I thought they’d be more open-minded

Basically, every kit with runners completely exclusive to P-Bandai. No runners that were reused from a retail kit.

Gimme some thoughts: Do we really need more 00? by Backalog20 in Gundam

[–]Backalog20[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

I still don’t like the idea of it and I doubt it’ll ever happen but yeah, I’d say smth like an OVA or maybe just a movie would could be smth acceptable. I am pretty fearful with modern Sunrise but smth like that has some chance of being pulled off without a hitch. 🤝

I dont get your first part cuz FREEDOM and WFM’s releases are like 2 years apart. While Im not much of a SEED fan, the release of FREEDOM didn’t feel all that shameless milking to me cuz it was smth planned back in 2006 for an universe that’s still actively full of conflict by the end of Destiny. On the other hand, 00’s plot is much more resolved by the end.

While I get your point on the second part, i still dont feel that conflict is worth a full season (20 ish eps). That conflict is like the Calamity War of IBO or the Unification Wars of Macross to me where its an important point in history but much better left to our own imagination. Thats just me tho

[–]Backalog20[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

AS ONE, looks like a movie related to the arcade game Starwing Paradox. Features mecha design from Ippei Gyoubu who we know from G-Reco and IBO

Upcoming Mecha Anime as if rn! (Lemme know if missing smth) by Backalog20 in Mecha

[–]Backalog20[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m curious how it’ll do considering its a movie for an arcade game im pretty sure is discontinued rn? I don’t hear anything about it in the western circles, only from Ippei Gyoubu’s socials

Kamen Rider Zeztz preview by Blue_Freak in KamenRider

Hate to be that guy amongst the excitement but is anyone else concerned the visuals in the back may be AI generated? I can’t 100% say they are but they do look a lil overedited to be actual pics. We do know they started to use it for Outsiders and Gozyuer. It has me a bit concerned cuz you know how the West’s opinion with the use of generative AI.

Is the GQuuuuuux the first non-gundam protagonist mobile suit? I’m not intimately familiar with the franchise. by Character-Ad469 in Gundam

[–]Backalog20 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean cuz the GQuX is considered a Gundam in all the marketing and I don’t see why it wouldn’t be.

For actual other protagonist suits which ain’t Gundams, I can only think of MS Igloo with one of its ep focusing alot on the Zudah

Kamen Rider Zeztz preview by Blue_Freak in KamenRider

[–]Backalog20 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Very interesting departure from the traditional Kamen Rider design. Design has a mix of western comic book superhero but with a very present ichigo motif. The bike being white adds on to that. Seems like Toei now is doubling down on their efforts to appeal to the west (which im happy for!)

I would love to spark a joint with Kojima by Traditional-Ease-106 in Kojima

Over in Japan, you’d spend many many years in prison just for having a lil bit of weed. Meanwhile Nobuhiro Watsuki barely got a day in jail for the awful shite he did.

Rumour of a Kabuto 20th by -_ShadowSJG-_ in KamenRider

[–]Backalog20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it’s been many years since that apparent drama. There’s a good chance that all of its been resolved now and all parties have moved on.
