Too bad Takei's never writing anything popular again. His mecha is top tier but his chara design is too ass and people get turned off pretty quicklySK Flowers was shit

In the end, does anyone think that Yang Wenli was a bit... misguided?
He had so many opportunities to do so much. Support politicians in the Alliance that would oppose the shitty entrenched powers. Become a politician himself. Defect to the Empire once his bosses decided to sell him out. Literally anything.
But instead, he sits around, hoping that things won't get any worse while making plans for what happens when they do in the back of his head. He is a staunch supporter of the status quo, regardless of how stupid or terrible that status quo might be.
That's...

Not misguided, and he's not really a supporter of the status quo. He's very relatable because he is lazy and has zero ambition. He's not supporting the current state because it's democratically elected, it's just there's no good reason for him to get all in a huff and do something incredible when all he wants from life is to read books and watch docs all day. That's the trick, he inevitably has to do things once the FPA bars him from a peaceful life.
Not so much misguided nor a supporter of the status quo, just a strong believer in the principles of republican democracy. He tells Reinhard as much himself when they meet and discuss the virtues of imperialism and democracy. A benevolent dictatorship is only guaranteed to be effective as long as the ruler is in power, while even in a worst-case democracy, voting power rests in the public's hands and there is the hope that it can fix itself.
Anyway, as a soldier he considers it extremely unethical to touch any part of the political process himself, and even if he...

It's just that he had different morals from Reinhardt.
Reinhardt doesn't believe the end justifies the means, but he is an autocrat from an autocratic society. To him, the greater good is served by taking over the Empire and enforcing his own ideas on improving the human condition and bringing justice to the people.
Yang believes that he is a servant of the people. He's a republican in a democratic society, and he believes that a legitimately elected democratic government has greater...

I like char, broken n doesn't always make sense but a character to remember nonetheless. Anything more to his character design in any of the series/ movies would have sent audiences initio an extreme admiration or hatred. Cuts it close in zeta but a good check to add a humane portrayal to his MSG cold axe pilot image.

Tots have to retweet this
Damn did not mean to start a new thread, guess I'm a newfag.
Yeah man I mean not knowing how to reply is pretty newfangled behavior that's like something you learn on day 1
So was pic related any good? I missed the initial release and didn't pay any attention the discussion.
Do you like robots? Do you like customization with your robots? Do you like earmuffs? Then you'll fucking love this game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCV_aqyW2ZM
It's the closest thing to Custom Robo we'll ever get again. It's basically Custom Robo with a watered down version of Gundam Extreme Vs. for battles.
It's good for what it is, but the fact that you need to wait like 3 seconds when a robot goes down and all the scripted fights in the story really puts a damper on gameplay.
So is this what goes through Mikazuki's mind when he uses the alaya-vijnana system to interface with the Gundam?

Oh no wait that's Mika out of barbatos too
It irritates me Char ended up becoming a fucked up mess not because of original intent but because he became victim to a crossbreed of hyper-refined tomino and constantly rejected projects.
Seriously, how many Char versions did Tomino draft?
Gunboy(or whatever the working title was at the time)
Gundam*
Zeta proposal (first half animated)
First and Second ZZ proposals
Zeta last quarter*
CCA proposal
Second CCA proposal
Second half of third CCA proposal (aka the CCA we got)*
I've given asterisks to the actually animated ones, and...

That looks like a salmon to me. But hey, Char's Zaku color is salmon pink so it's still related
I've been looking to read these novels but haven't been able to find them anywhere, I asked on /a/ and it was suggested that I ask about in on here too. Can anyone tell me where I could find them?
Thanks in advance.
nope just the random Zeonic-Corps chapters. Remember Gundam 00P was a photonovel, not a manga in Dengenki Hobby Magazine. It's really rare for those to get translated since it would require someone to either have a subscription to Dengeki for 4 years or to have bothered to buy the compiled volumes before they went out of print.
>>13739267
No, but you can visit this particular site dedicated to 00:
http://z11.invisionfree.com/gundam00/index.php
Most of the image links don't work, but the summaries are still there, and some discussion.
Of note is the fact that several notable people there had also posted the info here and on MAHQ during the time of 00, including Homeless and Good Haro.
Speaking of Good Haro, anyone know what happened to their blog? It used to have some extra 00 summaries, if I remember correctly.

Does it blow anybody else's minds that when Zyuoh comes out, Gokaiger and Fourze will be 5 years old? Because that's around when I got into toku full-time
5 years! I mean it feels like that was only one or two years ago? I still remember entire thread discussions from when those shows were airing!
And this means that Boukenger and Kabuto were an entire 10 years ago!
What the fuck is time even?
I know how you feel, I remember when I first realized how long ago Ultraman Gaia was. Feels, man.
Oh God, I was 13 when they came out.

No, wait, 14. I fucked up the math again

So a long time ago on here I saw a .gif of Manticore from Star Driver fanning confetti with the caption "This thread is now diamonds". Anyone have it?
Also, Star Driver thread?
>>13738564
Star Driver was great fun, but it could have been turned into a 9/10 show with one simple change:
Whenever the Phase goes up, all of the cybodies get repaired, Tauburn included.
Suddenly, Tauburn can actually lose a fight, or even just be heavily damaged, without it being an instant show-ender. Indeed, he would almost certainly be outright defeated once or twice in the show, followed almost immediately by the Crux unlocking the next phase and reseting all of the Cybodies.
Now the fights...

Field Repair
Basically what this means is that rather than the mobile suit being fresh out of a factory, it's quite the opposite. Whether it's trudging through dense jungles or dodging debris in asteroid belts, your mobile suit has seen some better days.
You've been out in the field for quite a long time now, nearly half a year of active duty in the front lines and your personal mobile suit's pretty banged up. What's worse is the fact that there isn't a maintenance bay within several thousand kilometers of...

I'm having an issue with sanding nubs down on my pieces.
What I notice is it feels like the nub itself isn't getting sanded down, but instead everything around it is. I'm using 1000 grit and 2000 grit sandpapers I bought from an auto shop, and yet no matter how I try to sand the nub off that little white spec never goes away and I'm afraid I'm gonna end up sanding off a huge portion of the piece trying to get rid of it.
Any tips on how I can improve my technique? Should I use a higher grit sandpaper? Lower? Some other tool?
>>13741066
Can you put your sand paper around a block or an edge of some type? I'm guessing your sand paper is just folding around your piece sanding everything instead of just the nub
