I'm trying to find a panel from the Gundam-san manga. It's features the bird version of Garma in/on a tiny Gaw and looking pleased as punch, with bird Char standing to the side. Image searches on DDG and Google have been fruitless so far. Throwing it out there to see if anyone has it handy. Thanks!

With possumpat.io going offline soon, I figured it's worth talking about where to move what little content gets posted here. There's Gundam and Gunpla comms on both world and Blåhaj, but they're pretty dead with inactive mods. The logical home would seem to be ani.social, but there's no existing comm there.

I have zero interest in being a mod. Dunno if anyone else wants to give it a whirl, or if there are active comms I missed. The other option is to just be a very small minority in the general anime comms. Which is probably the logical choice, just kind of a bummer since Gundam is very much its own thing at this point. Huge in the grand scheme of things, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of overlap with the general Lemmy demographic.

The theatrical cut of the beginning of the series premieres in Japanese theaters January 17, 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space.

When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.

Under the entry name "Machu," she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji.

Now their world is about to enter a new era.

Unless you count

who has a ridiculous name even by Gundam standards.

Upfront: the character animation is jank and I have no clue why that was considered acceptable given the overall effort that went into making things look pretty.

I went in with cautious optimism, because it's Netflix and they have a habit of butchering things. Not the case this time. It's 100% a Gundam show, alt-UC or no. My spouse was reluctant to start it tonight because she was beat after work and wasn't sure she was gonna be able to do more than one episode. After said one episode: "I'm awake." And so we finished it.

And now I want all those Zaku kits. Damn.

This was released on twitter as part of the 45th anniversary of Gundam as a franchise and to mark the 2-year anniversary of the original broadcast date of Witch From Mercury (October 2nd, 2022). Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis of the first season from AniList:

A.S. (Ad Stella) 122

An era when a multitude of corporations have entered space and built a huge economic system. A lone girl from the remote planet Mercury transfers to the Asticassia School of Technology, run by the Beneritt Group which dominates the mobile suit industry.

Her name is Suletta Mercury. With a scarlet light burning in her pure heart, this girl walks step by step through a new world.

I think I'm pre-traumatized just thinking about the implications of this crossover.
