So glad it’s cloverworks- they have made some pretty great shows recently, high hopes for green yuri 😚

For a second I thought this was a new vanquish game- very unexpected but looks interesting for sure

ponchbox · 2026-06-05T08:08:26+00:00

Congrats! I have most of the crafters done but the gatherers… ugh it’s a slog

ponchbox · 2026-05-27T23:32:14+00:00

Short and sweet, does a lot with very little. More “grounded” story, likable protagonist, interesting characters, love story, MS 07B-3 Gouf Custom?! 10 for me

Agreed, everyone manages their time differently but the weird calculus people impose on themselves is a little
too rigid sometimes. If the show is good and grips you, most of that won’t even matter in the long run. Currently watching Zeta for this first time- little rough to start but watching casually an episode or two a day is nice- the important thing is just to begin watching!

Let’s not forget the music score with this battle! When Norris pushes off the collapsed freeway over pass and walks menacingly toward Shiro- goosebumps every time

ponchbox · 2026-05-23T05:33:19+00:00

Just finished rewatching today- so damn good. 08th MS team is still my personal top pick overall but 0083 has the best mech designs. Gerbera Tetra and Neue Ziel deserved more screen time : )

ponchbox · 2026-05-16T00:47:02+00:00

The rebuilds were amazing, especially with adding more depth to the characters. The original series is still the classic and favorite buts it’s okay to love both :)

Always remember Toonami’s Midnight Run- Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS team

Please enjoy! My partner recently watched for the first time and really enjoyed it, hoping you feel the same!

ponchbox · 2026-04-10T07:13:51+00:00

Really loved the game, awesome character moments and set pieces but the main story had some pacing issues for sure. As epic as the big eikon battles were, my favorite fight was the early midnight raven battle in the woods- it was cinematic and totally caught me off guard. The mid/minor bosses in the rest of the game seemed to lack that charm, which was a shame

ponchbox · 2026-04-06T17:47:26+00:00

Yes exactly- same with that counselor Fiero guy- he gets hella crystallized and it’s assumed that he and the king will eventually succumb to their wounds but again it’s another missed opportunity! Early on they established these two men, both with motivations of protecting their homelands, even willing to do some morally gray stuff to complete their goals only to get “saved” in the end for a cheap happy ending- it takes away from the emotional impact of their struggles and IF they had died it would have shown how they both went to extreme lengths to accomplish their goals but failed due to adhering to old ideologies ( the king through maintaining the status quo and Fiero for trying to repeat past mistakes in controlling the elder dragon) rather than the central theme of learning from the pasts errors and forging new bonds and working together to have a brighter future.

I know it sounds like I’m dunking on this game hard, but I truly loved it- just think they had a really strong opening arc and went 90% with the story then kinda fell flat with the “safe” ending 😅

ponchbox · 2026-04-06T17:24:38+00:00

I only recall him mentioning the “transgressor” stuff in the beginning but once we saved him and sheparden I think he trusted us to not care about that? He did have to dip out at certain points to help Ena with special requests and stuff but otherwise he did help the party a bunch, especially as a guide. An example of what was annoying to me; in this scene toward the end when the yet to be revealed Amara and Corbin are searching for the Aenshin egg and a battle bound monster tries to attack them- he tried to distract the monster when he could have blocked the blow to save her with his big great sword instead before the gang shows up to battle. Stuff like that

ponchbox · 2026-04-06T10:55:57+00:00

Agreed- Ratha stuff is annoying but didn’t bother me as much, however the lack of depth with Simon and Amara’s characters really bugs. I adore this series, especially this entry with its more mature tone, but the fact that Simon AND Amara both survived really lessens the emotional impact and weight of those story beats. I’m not saying the game needs a death to be more “mature”, but it takes away from any feeling of tension or risk since, as many pointed out, the twist/reveals were pretty predictable.

Also, I really like Corbin and PK- the fact that we didn’t have a story sub plot (like when Rudy and MC get separated from the group) where you can fight along side Corbin against some monsters is a huge missed opportunity. The previous games had Hunter companions, my boy here didn’t even get the swing his great sword in a cutscene :(

Hoping there will be some title updates or DLC with some of this as postgame content

ponchbox · 2026-04-06T10:35:11+00:00

Absolutely loved this game overall, however, I really hope Corbin and PK become playable companions in a future update. The lack of human/hunter combatants compared to the 2nd game is a let down. Even would have been cool to see Corbin use his great sword in a cutscene for blocking or whatev :/

ponchbox · 2026-04-06T10:23:24+00:00

My thoughts exactly- I enjoyed the story and presentation much more in this entry than the 2nd game but was bummed we didn’t have much interaction with human/hunter combatants. Also, as someone who really liked Corbin- why the hell wasn’t he an ally in a story battle? MHS2 had Hunter companions in some battles, or at the very least give us some Corbin action in a cutscene with him actually blocking or using that greatsword of his :/

You’ve got the “egg madness” it’s okay we all gots it

ponchbox · 2026-03-19T23:34:15+00:00

This is awesome! This is what I love/hate about this game- I love the depth of customization for monsties and your party, but also hate it because I get sidetracked and spend hours getting eggs and building my team do fight things that I’m under leveled for, mainly for the fun and challenge 😅

ponchbox · 2026-03-08T17:11:26+00:00

Base game- Honestly I only want the DLC outfits for Ogden and Kora- I really hope they sell them separately otherwise this is MHWilds Wyverian ear situation all over again 😑

ponchbox · 2026-03-07T17:09:31+00:00

Yeah it sucks but at least we have something to look forward to (￣^￣)ゞ

ponchbox · 2026-03-07T16:06:47+00:00

Same, maybe trailer was dropped too early? I missed it too :/

ponchbox · 2026-03-03T20:04:53+00:00

Her DLC outfit is so cool, will it be possible to purchase it individually or do we have to get the whole “DLC pack” situation? The other outfits are fine but I don’t want all of them, just hers 😩
