Colonel- go look a pic of Strike Freedom...you can see the length of the damn rail guns, it's from the hip and stops like before the ankle

just watched the episode...this was a very good start I think, and pretty much the questions I had were answered :3

SF is about 18.8 meters tall if I looked at the info correctly

judging from this image, the rail guns are almost half it's height

Colonel- · 2006-07-19, 17:09

^ Miles teg already posted that info thank you =)

Mr. DJ · 2006-07-19, 17:24

(tear) curses!

(watches episode again) :gasps: is that a...black guy that's piloting Verde Buster? schweeet....

I think the K stood for kamikaze

hmm...I only counted 3 children, not 4...

With stargazer only being 45 minutes total I am absolutely sure that this is just another scheme that bandai devised to sell model kits. With that said... ITS WORKING. Strike Noir, Stargazer, Verde Buster and Blue Duel are just about the coolest designs ive seen in awhile. Im certian that im going to be picking up some of these great designs in model kit form soon enough. The first episode was very well done. Great animation quality and story although im not sure what kind of character development they can show in 45 minutes.

About the Ginn taking a lot of damage. From waht I have seen, didnt most shots from the linear tanks land beside the Ginn or misses completely and not directly hitting it? The only other hit on the Ginn was one of the missles from the helicopter that took out its backpack. I guess Edmond wanting to get so close is to make sure that the hits are critical enough to take it out?

It looks more like an AP round.

Technically, the round that was shown in the picture is an APFSDS, a non-explosive, anti-armor/anti-tank round that uses only kinetic energy to penetrate the armor.

This part I agree. Judging from how the rounds fired by the tank, I'd say it was either a HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) or a HESH (High-Explosive Squash Head). If Edmond knew (I'm presuming that he clearly did knew) that the tank was loaded with HE rounds only, firing from a long range may not have done the damn thing, especially if the armor of the GINN was way thicker than of a tank. If you fired an APFSDS round from a far, I believe that you wouldn't have to go so close for the kill.

Edmond was a really cool character too (tear) wonder if they'll bring him back, he'd be just kinda messed up >.>

I don't think they will, considering how much he was messed up in that tank and how short the entire stargazer ONA is.

Actually, this is not the first time a Linear tank takes down a MS.
I think it was shown two times(the same scene...) 2 Linear tanks on the beach dropping those Brown underwater MS with a hit to the main camera/head.
But that was also pretty darn close range.

We have also seen ZAFT tanks in GSD, I think Destroy took out a few. They looked pretty freaking big but maybe that was just the camera angle.
Might have been ordinary Linear tanks painted green, not so sure...

It was a Goohn, the Goohn jumped onto the beach but got snapped in half by a shot by a linear Tank.

In Panama, two linear tanks take down a GINN before getting blown up by the GINN's wingman.

In Alaska, the Linear tanks prove to be capable of taking down a ZuOOt.

well let's see first not 1 bishie in sight, the fight was good a tank being a threat to anything hasn't been seen since uc. and we see the good side of e.a, abit of drama but one thing is bothering me what was with the kids?

krazimonkey · 2006-07-21, 10:20

Well i liked how they show that the tanks can actually be useful instead of being easy targets in battles, but i miss the crazy gundam battles gundam seed usually has in there first eps

But they ARE easy targets in battles; didn't you see how many tanks the Ginn took down?

I still believe this battle was about showcasing the Ginn more than showcasing the tanks.

Colonel- · 2006-07-21, 15:38

I thought the Ginn only took down like 3 tanks?

You are making it sound like it is actually easy to destroy a tank...

Colonel- · 2006-07-21, 23:26

^ Well my friend, one bazooka shot from the Ginn flipped a tank over a couple times =)

kct · 2006-07-22, 03:56

...and the GINN got more weapons to fire with.

blitz1/2 · 2006-07-22, 07:55

I hope episode 2 have large scale battles.

Whitemoon648 · 2006-07-23, 19:55

P.S. I just didnt want to make a thread just for this

There is a movie coming out for the main storyline (Kira/Athrun/Shinn) sometime in the next year, there's hasn't been any information announced on it yet or a date. Aside from that and Stargazer, nothing else is scheduled to come out.

Onizuka-GTO:yeah, great post WD, but also puzzled. if it's a race you see, okay then. but at the moment it's a one man race, with Suzuku doing timed laps against his personal best.... WhiteWings:To this day I don't know what the insanity behind the decision to release the first GSD ending. My God that was without a doubt the worst ending I had ever seen in my life in a anime series. Blizzer: He already has special powers called super pheromone powers which makes him irresistable to Sekirei's in heat.
