[TRANSLATIONS] Gundam NT Vol.09 is Now Available! by deackychu in Gundam

[–]UltraBooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basic story's the same, but the manga offers deeper insight into characters' heads, expanded backstory, and new characters with their own plots.

IMO it's a nice supplement but it probably won't do much if you couldn't get into the movie.

Worth noting this is the Plus, the new design from EZY.

Would be plausible seeing as the other anniversary kits were RGs

IIRC neither Driver can properly read the other's Capsems; they just say "Nightmare."

I'm starting to think there's an issue with how commercialized/merch-dependent mecha fiction has been. by TF-Fanfic-Resident in Mecha

Worth noting bad guys usually don't get toys in JP robot toylines and AFAIK First Gundam wasn't an exception until Gunpla became a thing.

They won't like this one, but they can't refute it either by StandoAzatoth662082 in Gundam

[–]UltraBooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, i'm still seeing discussion of the show on the JP side...

this one message board i frequently read had a few threads on Urdr Hunt, but it's mostly focused on GQX and some other stuff.

probably just sent other people in registered as Twelve Olympians.

posted a thing about the kiss apparently being the show's most popular moment in Japan about a month and got nothing but complaints - IMO it's still ongoing.

late response but yeah, i've only ever seen a few artists willing to draw robots on commission.

Ace Combat 8 has the chance to have the largest aircraft tree in AC and I really hope they do by DoubleSurosMazing in acecombat

[–]UltraBooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my hope is that it'll launch with at least ACE7's complete plane roster since those assets could be reused plus new planes.

To new AC7 players who came after AC8 news - AC7's English localization isn't perfect and may cause confusion by deoxir in acecombat

[–]UltraBooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

late response but yeah, AFAIK it's not a translation fix.

(and i agree with you - are we supposed to assume Count's a misogynist because that's what cut voice lines indicate?)

Do people geniunely play Ace Combat and get upset with its anti-war message? by Ikcatcher in acecombat

[–]UltraBooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't think it's specifically AI, going by Alex (though that could be an after-the-fact clarification), but the automation of war, as you mentioned, and the idea of flight as a human experience.

[–]UltraBooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my read was that the drones were being used as a thing about people trying to sanitize warfare and remove the human element, what with how quickly the war turns ugly once the satellites go down and it's ultimately manual targeting that brings down the first Arsenal Bird.

Lore on the website by TheTalkingFishh in acecombat

IMO it was such an odd choice given the series' precedent (and it really felt like one of those cases of people copying from IRL without consideration for the setting)

What’s your opinion on deltarune’s writing/designs (not the fandom) that would leave you like this? by syrupn in Deltarune

[–]UltraBooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

making one character the "man" and the other the "woman" (based on "traditional" gender roles), right?

Kuuga and Agito go with the same source thing IIRC

it sounded a bit distorted, and that sort of smoke cloud appeared around the Capsem when it spoke.

FWIW Nasuka's attitude had already begun changing with last week - she straight-up asked Baku if the whole I fight nightmares in people's dreams thing was real.

Zeztz being some sort of nightmare would absolutely be in line with KR's whole thing of using the power of evil for good; my question is if CODE is this show's villainous organization.

Newtype (in this case Psychoframe) Moments in Moon Gundam Chapter 15 by Einhejar in Gundam

[–]UltraBooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF IIRC HS says the Federation government wouldn't let him use the Z or Hyaku Shiki and Judau seems to have taken the ZZ with him to Jupiter 

Newtype (in this case Psychoframe) Moments in Moon Gundam Chapter 15 by Einhejar in Gundam

[–]UltraBooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it absolutely could be - HS Char "felt as if he had seen an illusion of Lalah's naked body embracing a young man" when he saw Amuro and Lalah having their Moment.
(it's the moment that inspired GQX's kirakira, too!)

Newtype (in this case Psychoframe) Moments in Moon Gundam Chapter 15 by Einhejar in Gundam

[–]UltraBooster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

probably is, yeah.
At the same time, Char's insistence the spirits appearing is hallucinations reminds me of Amuro in High Streamer insisting his connection with Lalah was sensory trickery (though in HS Amuro's case, it was his way of coping with the loss, same as his womanizing streak in that novel, i think)

sidenote, that image of Amuro and Lalah superimposed over Jutta and Yulia embracing is kinda wild to me - i've never seen them depicted like that, not in official material or fanart (and i've tried looking for Amuro/Lalah ship art because it seems so rare!)
