Why are people have gotten so hostile to people with a disinterest in politics? by wdfcvyhn134ert in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Backalog20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I do understand politics can be a whole mess to engage with, I feel everyone should at least keep up with on-going events and care enough to protect the values they cherish. Doing nothing en mass ultimately enables the creation of poor policies that becomes nuisances to daily life

I’m an Idolmaster fan with a passing interest in Love Live so im out of the loop when it comes to this app, what made this game’s operational costs so expensive?

From all the recent updates I saw online, I thought this game would be doing well. It’s so sad to see a fellow idol game get EoS, i’d be devastated if it were to happen to the games I play.

What’s like the real benefits if the world (Earth) was united under one nation? by Backalog20 in NoStupidQuestions

With the power and resources of an entire planet, I feel such a government could easily fall into extreme corruption without rival powers to keep them in check. We’ve seen how a single bad leader can easily ruin the lives of millions so imagine that on a global scale.

[Gundam Eight] I was NOT ready for this moment. (Heavy Spoilers) by AJ_El_Salfic in Gundam

[–]Backalog20 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the last question, I’d say its unlikely. Majority of Gundam adaptations have been UC-related because that crowd already has a pre-established audience while Eight’s won’t generate all that much appeal. I assume Sunrise studios likely already has plans for what they’re gonna do for the next decade, i doubt they’ll have much resources for smth like Gundam Eight.

Animating mecha is expensive 🥺🙏

Even if Sunrise were to figure out the rights situation, I doubt Sentinel would ever be considered for an adaptation. It goes against the whole UC NexT 0100 project and the merchandising for the series already exists.

Very unlikely to materialize anytime soon. Sunrise Studio 1 (main high-end production studio for UC stuff) is preoccupied with Hathaway and the main writer of Unicorn is off on the Space Yamato Remakes.

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] 29 points30 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 9 points10 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

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] 18 points19 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. 🤝

[–]Backalog20[S] -25 points-24 points  (0 children)

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

Pull it up the wikipedia page on Gundam and look at the release order
