It it good guys? I have my reservations about NetFlix addaptations, the english dub sounds a bit meh

Following their victories during Operation Uroboros and at the Battle of Jachin Due, ZAFT sought to remove the Earth Alliance from space entirely and destroying Alliance military targets such as Ptolemaios lunar base and Endomiyon resource base.

On May 3rd, ZAFT forces defeated Alliance defenders and made landfall on Luna, soon they constructed a base in Lorentz crater to serve as their beachhead. From there, they would continue their offensive on the Moon, eventually dividing the Moon in Alliance-held and ZAFT-held sides, divided by the Grimaldi crater, soon to be known as Grimaldi front.

After rewatching thunderbolt yesterday it really reminded me how amazing the writing for that show was.

The realistic art style, Music, Dark writing. The theme of pilots losing their humanity to war.

It had some awesome moments too, I was curious what other gundam anime you guys can recommend that have a more similar art style/writing style as thunderbolt.

I am currently watching Zeta. Have already watched origional

Where would you guys rank Io Flemming and Daryl Lorenz among other Gundam pilots.

I think that Io is amazing because of how he deals with multiple targets the fact he does not need heavy augmentation to display that level of control is a testament to his skill and compatibility with his gundam.

Daryl on the other hand(haha see what i did there) has unrivaled devotion to his fight and will literally sacrifice arm and limb to become stronger.

Daryl somewhere is giving me Admech vibes from Warhammer augmenting himself for better synergy with his machine at the cost of his humanity.

I think that the show does an amazing job at conveying that loss of humanity, Gives me goosebumbs thinking of those scenes.

Overal such an amazing good show, so i am very curious as to you guys thoughts :)

Most warships we see launch mobile suits "horizontally" (i.e., in the direction the suit would faces when standing).

I'm curious if we've ever seen a mobile suit launch "vertically" (i.e., 'head" or "feet" first)? Obviously this wouldn't work for any earth-bound warships, but for spacegoing ones it'd be fine. In theory, this would allow vulnerable catapult doors to be far smaller launching "face-forward".

Bought this tee last night because I loved Gundam as a kid. Then I read the tag and realized it is celebrating Gundam's 45th anniversary and I feel assaulted.

Just starting this series for the first time, so no spoilers please, I’m still fairly new to the franchise having finished the 3 movie recap of the original series zeta and 08th ms team. As well as a couple other bit things requiem for vengeance and silver phantom. I’ve also been watching GQuuuuuuX.

The first episode of ZZ wasn’t really a thing so I figured I’d just summarize my thoughts starting here.

The only thing that stood out to me so far was this scene with Judah. He pretty much said, “I’m going to steal this Gundam without hurting anyone,” and then dropping kicks LT Bright Noa from four stories up. I just thought that was hilarious.

I also enjoyed the Gundam fight. The Zeta being poorly piloted was refreshing. Seeing it struggle against industrial machines. Instead of the new young pilot just being a prodigy.

That said I probably won’t post my thoughts every episode but it would be nice to discuss the series with anyone here who’d like to chat about it with me.

Hope they heal Kamille soon, I loved him by the end of Zeta.

After the repeated losses at the hands of ZAFT, the Earth Alliance space force tried desperately to reverse ZAFT’s offensive momentum, they decided to launch a deep strike on the PLANT homeland. In April C.E.70, Alliance 5th and 6th fleets launched from Ptolemaeus base on the Moon and headed toward Lagrange Point 5.

On April 17, C.E.70, the incoming Alliance fleets were intercepted by ZAFT forces stationed at Jachin Due resource satellite. The battle that ensued resulted in the defeat of the Earth Alliance's 5th and 6th fleets.

After ZAFT's victory at Jachin Due, the PLANT Supreme Council decided to convert the resource asteroid into a military space fortress.

This is continuation of SDBB 00 Gundam Eight Sword/G from a while back.

I finally took some time out to combine 0 Raiser with it and this is the end result.

With this done, I can move on to my SDCS Gunpla.

(inspired by that one shot of the X-Wings, you know the one.)

Mere days after ZAFT forces successfully landed on Carpentaria, they established the foundation of Carpentaria base and began to reinforce its position. To stop the enemy from gaining a permanent foothold on Earth, Earth Alliance dispatched the Atlantic Federation’s 21st Anti-Submarine Warfare fleet toward Australia. With the aim to stop a ZAFT naval convoy, consisting of supply submarines escorted by Vosgulov class carrier submarines, from reaching Carpentaria.

On the 10th April,the Alliance fleet’s engaged ZAFT’s submarine convoy in the Coral Sea. In the battle, the ASW Fleet deployed many Kingfisher 33SP Anti-Submarine Warfare helicopters, one of which was piloted by Ensign Jane Houston. On ZAFT's side, Marco Morassim sortied in his new GINN FEMWS, alongside GINN Wasp types

During the fighting, the Canageon and Bradford of the ASW Fleet tried to circumvent the Vosgulov-class submarines and the mobile suits to destroy the supply submarine convoy, but they were unsuccessful and were quickly destroyed.

In the end, The battle proved to be a total disaster for the Atlantic Federation; its entire 21st ASW Fleet, including the flagship Cumberland and the carrier Kingsbill, was wiped out along with all the other ships and Kingfisher helicopters, with only one survivor of the battle; the Kingfisher pilot Jane Houston.

Would've been nice to have spent a bit more time with lighting and posing. I feel like there's a lot of cool potential for posing 2 kits together but in practice I have trouble actually making it look good.

Took some posing inspiration from the statue of the man fighting four babies in Vigeland Park. The SD-EX kits are:

• Gundam Unicorn
• Gundam Barbatos Rex
• Gundam Exia
• Gundam 00
