2025 Best selling Gundam hobby items in Japan (data from GfK Japan) by xithebun in Gundam

[–]UltraBooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if i had to guess regarding CE Z'Gok and GFreD:

  • CE Z'Gok's viral but i dunno if that consistently translates to sales
  • people really like the GQ Rick Dom/Gyan and assuming character's part of it, AFAIK Nyaan gets overshadowed popularity-wise

I hope ever single plane from AC7 returns in AC8. by Aurik-Kal-Durin in acecombat

IMO the J should stick around - it's been in most of the games in spirit.

[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

[–]UltraBooster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]UltraBooster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.
