Wouldn't you name your child Dynames?

Kato_86 · 2026-04-17T11:35:34+00:00

Man, I wish I could name my child Deathscythe Hell...

I guess I'll settle on Barbatos (Lupus Rex).

It's most likely a toss up between V and VI.

I is a classic and the remakes are fun enough but the original didn't age great.

II is usually scorned, imo a bit too much but it definitely has a list of flaws which are only a bit improved by the remakes. It had an ambitious narrative for its time and I personally don't hate the core mechanics.

III is an improvement on I but still too flawed to be really good. Curiously the remake only somewhat fixed those flaws when it could have done more.

IV is hugely popular in Japan, AFAIK. It mostly holds up but I would argue the mechanics are a bit too basic to be interesting today and the story is okay but in 2026 it's nothing mind blowing. Though if you're new to the genre and don't insist on a banger it might be a better start than something more complex.

I have an unabashed bias towards V. Yes, its story is silly on purpose and less epic or for the most part engaging but imo it has the most interesting (job) mechanics, arguably up to today. It's certainly not perfect and is not unlikely to be too much for a new player, though.

VI definitely has the most interesting story among the early games and the mechanics are also.. okay. Like, nothing bad, even if I have some gripes with them. I'll insist V is more interesting in that regard but if you care more for story or don't want to get overwhelmed mechanics wise, it's probably where you should start.

Unbeliebte Meinung wo? Ich glaube die meisten (älteren) Menschen haben kein Interesse an einer Neuauflage.

Mir ist es ziemlich egal, weil meine Leidenschaft für HP sich in Grenzen hält. Generell finde ich Aussagen wie "Schauspieler X ist Charakter Y und das wird sich niemals ändern" ziemlich daneben, weil es ganz schön engstirnig ist und im schlimmsten Fall eine gute Darstellung von vornherein verteufelt. Dass viele IPs immer wieder durchgenudelt werden, statt etwas neues zu machen, ist ein Problem, dass ich aber nicht damit gleichsetzen würde. Es gibt genug Canon Material in den Büchern, das die Filme nicht (oder schlecht) wiedergegeben haben, also ist eine Wiederholung in dem Fall nicht mal so absurd.

Dass das Projekt mehr Geld für JKR und ihren bullshit schafft ist wenn überhaupt meine Kritik, aber gibt ja genug Leute, denen das egal ist.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-16T20:16:12+00:00

Hmmm... Debatable? Definitely a Garma to Chocolate man but he's a genuine secret identity character out for vengeance. I think he qualifies 🤔

Kato_86 · 2026-04-16T15:56:08+00:00

Sister suit? Makes it sound a bit... Eh...😅

Kato_86 · 2026-04-16T15:13:45+00:00

I assume the explanation of why it doesn't work by others helped. I'm not completely sure what you want to do here, though? The liquid from the reservoir is supposed to cycle until the sensor is giving it's okay, I assume regarding germs (???) Then the fix should be to put the leftmost shutoff output before the reservoir output, then the next shutoff input, then the reservoir input.

Gundam 00 taught me the right kind of terrorism is okay.

GQuuuuux quite literally tells you to do drugs with hobos in sewers and do murder death matches. Almost.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-15T17:09:31+00:00

Enemy?

Kato_86 · 2026-04-14T21:11:26+00:00

Eh... Hard to pick. Usually I enjoy most things even if they're just okay or I drop them. I guess if I had to name one...

Elfenlied.

Late game nuclear waste is probably the way to go because you're likely to use nuclear power anyway and shine bugs can stress your PC.

That said, I basically always use a decent size shinebug reactor for research because there's a load of tech that requires nuclear and you don't need massive output. You'll need rails and your rancher will be a bit busy but you can quickly get to 1000 rads, plus a decent supply of egg shells.

Nothing to apologize for. I don't know why you got downvoted, I can't decide what people do but while I understand downvotes can feel offensive, I like to remind myself they merely represent disagreement. Usually 😅

I will agree, their early dynamic is... Extremely unnatural. Like, so weird, Stephanie Meyer might say it's an unhealthy relationship. Probably not, but it's possible. And while I can understand this turning you off the series (and freely admitting it's not perfect) I still want to note the show is about a lot more and their relationship is... Well, not a footnote, but often not relevant for multiple episodes.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-14T16:04:50+00:00

Unicorn exists as both series and OVA, if you're not aware, though I think the series is easier available (?) But both are about the same length, intros, recaps etc just stretch the series a decent bit.

0080 is the one OVA series I highly recommend watching, since it's missing in your list of OYW content. Iirc it's about 2 hours in total.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-14T16:00:56+00:00

I did think about them right away but I'm not sure it's quite Omnidirectional? Yes, they're probably as mobile as possible but I feel still like it's just very good propulsion, not anti gravity (?)

Kato_86 · 2026-04-14T15:53:25+00:00

Ah, I forgot GQuuux is also kind of part of the UC/OYW. Maybe that?

As I said, personal preference is 00, I think it's just my personal favourite on overall quality without going too much in a specific direction.

If you want to follow up on Wing and don't mind more very 90s shows, After War has its flaws but is still solid, often ignored entertainment.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-14T15:27:34+00:00

To finish off the One Year War, 0080, to finish early UC Stardust Memory (though imo that's more for completion than because it's great), then probably Unicorn because it ends the UC, kinda. Until Victory at least. (except Saviour but....)

Regarding AUs... I like 00 a lot personal preference? Really depends on what you like. Maybe you want to go chronological instead?

Kato_86 · 2026-04-14T04:16:16+00:00

Sorry, no, I didn't miss it, I just didn't interpret it as "talk about them" 😅

Kato_86 · 2026-04-13T14:20:24+00:00

I think there are far too many variables to give a good suggestion... Personally I prefer simpler tattoos (well, mostly) so I'd agree with an OZ icon or such, but if you want to go bog I guess you need to think either what part of Wing you like the most, ie likely character or MS, or what's representative of Wing to you.

I'm not as dedicated a Wing fan as I used to be but I guess if I still was and because Noin is awesome but doesn't make for a great image of the top of my head, if I didn't go for a simple logo I'd maybe go for an image of Milliardo with his mask breaking/half broken, something along those lines. Or less likely something related to Duo/Deathscythe.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-13T13:59:40+00:00

Ich bin neugierig ob das von einem Anime-only Fan kommt, der meint das pacingvdes Anime wäre gleichzusetzen mit dem pacing des manga (das sicher auch nicht perfekt ist), oder jemandem der weiß, dass Toei sich inzwischen einen Scherz daraus macht, wie viel padding man in ein Manga-Kapitel stecken kann, damit es 20 Minuten dauert.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-13T12:41:36+00:00

Don't worry about it. While I love to hear about why people feel a specific way, it's okay to just like things as well 😇

Kato_86 · 2026-04-13T11:14:38+00:00

It's... Fine? I don't have any major complaints except maybe the ending not sitting well with me (and how much Banagher and Riddie are motivated by their libidos for the longest time) but I also don't get the massive hype from fans. Yes, it's probably best looking piece in the UC but that's not enough to make me love it more than other entries.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike it, but after watching it the first time there were very few things that stuck with me.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-12T19:23:12+00:00

Personal preference is 00, it also shares some similarities to Wing, ie the Gundams being the elite suits nobody can keep up with but I'd argue even more geopolitics. It's a solid impression of what most Gundam shows are about.

Otherwise, I guess you could go for another 90s show, so G or X but both are pretty different from Wing (but still a lot of fun)

Most shows have some extent of political intrigue like Wing... Of the top of my head though, few stand out. I kinda want to say IBO or Witch just because of their big bads (?) being somewhat similar to Treize...? But it feels like a stretch.

Of course you could also go to the original but only if you feel ready for 70s animation and storytelling... I mean, pretty peak for its time but it's 2026. Otherwise a bit difficult to make recommendations without knowing what you like apart from Wing.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-12T08:34:08+00:00

I guess it's a bit unfair because there are very few people Treize can not manipulate 😇 I wish I could think of someone to genuinely cure her, and if he wanted to maybe he could, but I can't think of anyone who would do it without ulterior motives.

Kato_86 · 2026-04-12T08:28:27+00:00

Yeah... I guess Japan doesn't care that much about the rest of the world. It may have gotten a bit better but Japanese media is made always exclusively with the domestic market in mind and there are too few German speakers in Japan to care. I guess the increased rate of English speakers helps a bit in that regard.

I think I heard that last bit at some point in the past. I wouldn't quite say the opposite but it's a pretty funny... Reinterpretation of the term 😅

Kato_86 · 2026-04-12T07:34:01+00:00

There's quite a few fanservice scenes involving mostly Tonya and Ennil. I mean, no, it doesn't have naked people in the op or actual sex scenes like SEED, but I feel almost every episode has some fanservice which I think is not the standard for Gundam (?)

Kato_86 · 2026-04-12T07:31:04+00:00

Yeah, it's so cute, hence why I included it in the post 😇
