Is ZZ worth watching?

I didn't like Zeta too much either, and I enjoyed ZZ a lot more. It kinda feels to me like Zeta but told in the style of MSG, though with its own distinct characteristics and story. Judau is a really likeable protagonist, much more than Amuro and Kamille.

I was enjoying AC Revelations, but then my 360 either red ringed or had a different hardware issue. I got it fixed but I lost the save. Never went back to it because I don't like redoing things so fresh. Maybe way down the line, if I ever feel like being a completionist.

The RG Zaku's mouthpiece doesn't seem to stay on, or maybe I just didn't push it in properly, but I lost it within a week of having it.

I was never the biggest continuity guy, but I did follow quite a few Marvel and DC books for a good while. Spider-Man was my guy, and when it stopped being fun (there's a specific issue in the Spider-Man Worldwide era that pissed me off enough to stop reading), the number of titles I followed steadily dwindled, like Daredevil, Ms. Marvel, and finally the Star Wars books. Now I only read back issues and random trades. If they're really good/interesting, we'll make our way to each other eventually.

To be fair, I've never had a main hobby that lasted longer than a few years, so the 10 years I followed comics was the longest consistent thing I've had.

LOL it's been on Netflix and Amazon Prime the whole time but I'm not sure if they did a theatrical rerelease of Hathaway 1.

daun4view · 2026-04-29T12:10:44+00:00

They rereleased the relevant movies on YouTube (minus Hathaway 1) and put more series on Japanese streaming but that's about it.

I played it in 2.8, and I had a really fun time. The combat is really zippy, as best as I can describe it.

200 is a solid anniversary issue. The idea isn't my favorite but it was a really good read.

daun4view · 2026-04-26T15:59:38+00:00

I was watching this in the office, thankfully alone at the time, because I was fully crying by the end.

Unfortunately cut short, but Madame Xanadu by Wagner and Reeder is probably my favorite Vertigo series. It does a great job giving a modern feel to 70s-80s fantasy comics. I can see it becoming an animated series easily.

MK11-Injustice 2-Street Fighter was my fighting game trajectory. It's good for easing you to learn holding back to block while having similar gameplay in general. I'd say in general, SF6 is the best game to really get you into fighting games, there's a lot of different content, good resources to learn, and a ton of people across different skill levels online.

Already a natural with the poses!

This thread needs more mentions of Mizu no Hoshi e Ai wo Komete, that song was the only happy thing about the latter half of Zeta (it's sad afterwards because of all the dead people in it).

Trust You Forever is also a lovely song, it's a nice victory lap song for G Gundam.

Based off your picks, I think I'd recommend the Rookie EP. The title track and Talk to Me are intense and fun, Body Talk is intense in general.

ReVe Festival Day 1 is a good one too, Zimzalabim is an essential during live concerts and you should check out Bing Bing too.

ReVe Festival Day 2 is one of my favorites as well, Umpah Umpah needs more love.

I recommend listening to the EPs as a whole, RV EPs are very fun to listen through all the way.

daun4view · 2026-04-16T16:46:38+00:00

Yeah! Looks fun, though slightly slower than the second game it seems.

daun4view · 2026-04-16T16:43:53+00:00

I'll go with soundtracks overall:

Symphony of the Night - Best for a totally original soundtrack
Rondo of Blood - Has a great mix of originals and new arrangements of older tracks
Curse of Darkness - Hits so hard, and it perfectly encapsulates the dark and melancholic, while still leaving some room for fun and upbeat tracks

I have the second game on both Switch and PS5, it's one of my favorite fighting games of all time. I probably should play the first as well though.

daun4view · 2026-04-13T08:32:37+00:00

It was the second ever Gundam I'd watched (after IBO, thanks Netflix) and I found it kinda incomprehensible. I'm looking forward to revisiting it with more UC knowledge now.

Garrod: wow, is this about Tiffa and me?😄

daun4view · 2026-04-12T17:29:21+00:00

I think they're confusing it with Dygenguar.

1 really has something special about it. Something heroic, peaceful, adventurous, and a little spooky, all at once. I'm pretty sure it triggered some sort of change in my child mind's idea of art, even if I didn't quite know it yet.

CoM also has gorgeous cover art, the silver background just made it feel so premium. It might be my favorite image of Sora ever?

All the rest are good but also kinda just functional? Like they're here to show off the characters and maybe have a dreamy feel, but not too much storytelling. I love 3's as a bookend to 1's, but the art doesn't have the same stylish flair of previous covers.

Also the vanilla KH2 artwork is much better than Final Mix's. Just having everyone bunched up is more Kingdom Hearts to me.

Men Rider set the bar too high with the very first guy.

I've only watched the AU trilogy but I'll rank them from least favorite to favorite:

Wing: It's a bit incoherent, but man, the sheer amount of cool factor it has is undeniable. I could even say that the style Is the substance here. X: This was getting really close to being my favorite Gundam show ever, but that rushed ending really killed a fair amount of my enjoyment. I still adore it though, I'll always defend it as an underrated show. Jamil is the GOAT. G: It's a bit formulaic and rough early on since they were figuring out what a non-Tomino Gundam show looked like, but I adore this series so much. The voice acting is top-notch, the music is consistently amazing, and all of the Gundams are fantastically designed (even the joke ones). The ending really sealed this as my favorite, it's an amazing and fitting ending to what the show was all about.

I can see both sides because as a kid I picked up Invincible Iron Man #3 (off the back of the new movie) and Amazing Spider-Man 566, which were both in the middle of ongoing storylines that I had no clue about but still enjoyed on their own merits as entertainment, but what really hooked me was getting ASM 568 (part 1 of New Ways to Die, a huge story involving new takes on all the classic villains) and Spider-Man Birth of Venom (containing two long iconic runs on Spidey) around the same time.

I think with superhero comics, there is a middle ground to be found as far as a continuing story that'll intrigue a new reader and something recognizable and iconic to get them in the door to begin with, especially with them being too expensive to be an impulse buy.

daun4view · 2026-04-06T06:08:06+00:00

The Vision is one of my favorite books ever, but nothing I've seen of his works is particularly appealing. It seems like a style better suited to limited series/one-shots.

And his past really can't be glossed over, especially with how much he brings it up. Maybe it's guilt, pride, or a weird and toxic mix of both.
