my 1st ever first hehe :D

Hoping to see Saji Crossroad's development, his meeting with Sergei?
Perhaps Andrei has info on Louise??

And of course more Gundam ownage!!
This past week I re-watched entire Gundam 00 s1/s2, and just last ep. of Seed for a quick fix :heh:

i'm expecting:
more development on Setsuna's past
an explanation on whats up with Marina and her country
Kira like reprogramming for gundams to fight on sand :-p
Ali to come back, and Tieria to be like, omgwtfbbq

i doubt it'll happen, but i want a named character to die... currently, in my mind, flags are still waving around Louise (though it probably won't happen until 18-25) or Sergei or Sergei's son.

The return of Prince Ali --- what we've all been waiting for!

Most interested in: what's Marina doing in the preview, what is Saji up to... and just how bad is Ali now...

Time to go to bed... so I can wake up to some nice fresh Gundam in the morning.

Ali Al Sarches! Can't wait to see what his new Gundam is!

Finally some Prince Ali ownage & kickass action. Why I miss his laughter & sarcasm is beyond my comprehension.:D Oh,his gundam must be the coolest of all bad guy in GundamVerse.:heh:

I wonder how Sergei and Saji are gonna speak with each other? Over tea and crumpets? :D

Don't the Gundams pretty much most of their moving while floating around thanks to the GN Drives? So there should be little need for any last minute coordinator level reprogramming needed in the middle of the battle.

I wanna know why Marinahime are so happy!

Ali could rot in hell for all I care >.> He killed my Sheryl.. hmm, should tell Meister Bushido about that!!! :p

Wait, what? :twitch::uhoh::eyespin:

Sheryl's (from Macross Frontier) speaking seiyuu is Aya Endo, who also happens to be Kinue's. ^^ So yeah, in a way, Ali killed off Sheryl. :p

And Mr. Bushido's seiyuu is Alto. :D

few thing I'd like to see:

1. What gonna happen to marina and azadistan
2. What's Ali doing in there
3. And how setsuna will react toward the destruction of azadistan and the apperance of Ali

judging from the preview statement (not the picture) are we gonna see setsuna went berserk this episode?

Damn. Mr Bushido is Alto! Those seiyuus are really talented! :p

Hopefully Mr.Bushido will also appear & came across Ali.I wonder what would happen.;) I've waited so long for some desert battle in Gundam series,better watch MS IGlOO 2 now.:heh:

Kinue is... Sheryl? :eek::eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:

^^ i never noticed that either. then again, i watched frontier after 00 (like everyone) and i haven't bothered rewatching 00.

I just finished watching Frontier two days ago, and I never picked up on the Seiyuu similarities with Gundam 00.

By the way, I refuse to call the masked man "Mr. Bushido". It just sounds awful, and it is ridiculous that a Caucasian can be taken seriously as a Japanese.

Graham was my favourite character in the first season until the last episode, which ruined him. Setsuna had just fought an epic (and tiring) battle with Alejandro, and the Exia was suffering the side effects of coming off Trans-AM. And Graham still couldn't lay a decisive blow.

Anyway, I'm not really a fan of Ali, and find it stupid that he survived. Sure, he was based of Gauron, but that is no excuse for him to be given Gauron's insane and ludicrous penchant for surviving the destruction of his various Mechas. Besides that, Ali's survival demeans Neil's death.

Neil's death still means something for Tieria and Felt.

I don't think Graham aka Mr. Bushido would change his fighting style. He always dominated in close quarter combat. In addition, Setsuna fought each other enough times to know their distinct fighting style.

Why one earth would there be a rational explanation for naming a white caucasian, possibly from the North America region, a totally japanese name that sounds a bit too close like a swear word, make him wear a mask and outfit resembling a Japanese samurai, as well as have him pilot a Samurai mecha.

There is only a few reasons I can think up.

1. Somebody thought it was cute or clever.

2. Somebody seems to be bit too patriotic in trying to put their culture and history into the anime.

3. A few paranoid theorists from some of the blogs or forums claimed half-seriously that Japan is trying to make militarism and the armed forces more popular to the anti-militaristic Japanese public like the Keroro Gunsou anime. Personally, I doubt it.

Either way if Gundam 00 series had a 'A+' grade just because of all this it would have been knocked down to 'A-'.

Seriously LOLLED there.. I pitied you who find it hard and had to rate a series lower because of one silly name over a character.

LOL.

Given that Drama CD 2 already established Graham's love for the samurai lifestyle, don't see why it'd be weird. He's basically a Japanophile so to speak...

Yes, but honestly, are the Drama CDs canon? Because, you know, there is a school of thought that argues if it isn't in the Anime, then it isn't as canon (assuming multiple levels) as material in the Anime.

Basically, the Anime has given me no indication that Graham is a Japanophile, therefore we cannot say either way, neither confirm or deny. I know people will disagree with me on that one. But since they are called "side" Mangas, I see no reason why they should take precedence over the actual Anime.

That's a personal opinion of course, but my logic seems sound.

I eagerly look forward to the day when Billy spits on Sumeragi's face and demands to rape her.

RAPE*11.

Seriously, the 1st drama CD isn't canon, and it's more of a joke scenario. But the 2nd is far more serious, and has continuity to the series itself, and its the second which makes mention of the Graham's interest in the samurai lifestyle.

Yes, Mr. Bushido sounds silly, but I think if you're gonna take an anime that isn't trying to be 100% serious to be 100% serious...then you're bound to run into things that will make the show less enjoyable for you. Maybe the humor(?) is off in this instance, but personally it doesn't demean the overall quality of the show for me.

so how long before it starts airing??

around 17 minutes

This is bad....I don't see TBS on keyhole tv at all. UoU

You mean when does it air right ? Mods aint to fond of countdowns. It airs 9am Central European time. Which include countries like Denmark, Sweeden, Germany and alot of more. If you can adjust acording to that you will know when it airs your local time.

So surprised to see that people are still obsessing over the all of that .5 of a second from last week. I've decided to give this sub forum once last chance, but if it gets dominated by that type of discussion then I'm out of here for good.

And I'm guess Daylight Savings Time doesn't affect Japan. Anyone know?

I bel;ieve they don't affect Japan.

Mmm so far nothing interesting has happened so far.

-EDIT- Removed a incorrect portion.

Saji is Amuro Ray lol.

What was the part with marina and the kid about? Just missed it >_>

Blond chubby dude scares me.

Oh ****. I forgot.

Lockon went Spartaaaa!! Allelujah used Arios Claw mode!
