CB didn't reserve Lyle as back-up. It was Setsuna who brought him in, and the team only knew about the twin business after Setsuna brought him in.

Lyle didn't get in because they just indulged Setsuna's fail logic; they agreed right away because they need someone to pilot a gundam. Lyle fit the description.

It was a good idea at the time. Lyle is fighting against the A-Laws, which Neil could have done too if he were alive. Setsuna thought it would be a good idea if they passed on Neil's legacy to Lyle; they are brothers after all. Well, of course, they were slightly wrong about the comparison, but Lyle agreed to it. And the team is desperate for a Meister...

It is a seed for a good drama for the shows.

I think...From what I've seen from those photos...It's either Mina Carmine is a CLONE of Nena Trinity or....someone that have the same base DNA pattern as Nena Trinity (Similar to those of Innovades) Both Nena and Mina have playful attitudes....so 90% Chance. Setsuna AND Marina holding each other? Is Setsuna dying there? O_O...Someone please translate the Japanese characters in the manga so we will have early spoilers.

I really like the new Backpack Gundam, looks great. I REALLY HOPE (but everyone says it isnt, I personally think it might be a combination of the two) that it isn't just another Backpack transformation but an actual armor fitting mechanic (which would be so freaking awesome). We've already seen a backpack Gundam ...but it'd still be cool.

I didn't come back in time to reply for the whole Marina x Setsuna x Feldt rant that I made a couple pages earlier and it got flushed away but for those who replied, what I originally wanted to say wasn't about "romance" or what female character shoudl've been Setsuna's "love interest". In reality, Mizushima and the writing team started to develop Marina and tried to make her important, however they chickened out half way and left Marina hanging which caused her to be an incredibly pointless character that actually takes up enough of the screen to WASTE time but not enough to make it WORTHWHILE. This goes for Feldt AND for Wang Liu Mei too. The reason why I would've preferred Marina is because they actually started to write something between Setsuna and Marina, why couldn't they just stick to their balls and keep rolling? If they did then Marina wouldn't be half as useless as she is in 00, instead they jumped ship to Feldt...sigh. Enough rant...back to Backpack Gundam.

I knew I kept quiet at the revelation of the "official backpack art" all this time, and it seems my suspicions were correct: the art was fake, since it has no shared elements with the actual design on the HG Raphael backpack.

Hmm...Yeah. Someone must be pranking....or is it the Gunpla model that is so wrong? As far as I know, Gundam Magazines doesn't publish any wrong information about the movie...So it can be the Gunpla.

But the thing is... do we even have definitive proof that the image is from any legitimate magazine?

And also, Gunpla are never wrong in showing major details like that, since you know the Gunpla are the ones showcasing the final design of the mobile suit.

Or maybe it didn't come from any magazines?

Spoiler for More Manga spoiler:

They seem to have a sort of brother/sister relationship going there. This would of course be natural if you take Nena's personality into account and since she did simmilar things to Michael. Of course Billy pobably takes it the wrong way and starts obsessing over her the same way he obsessed over Sumeragi.

Who gives a damn! In case you haven't realized, relationships aren't the focus of 00.

Translations are appreciated.

And so the movie screens in 10-hours times here. Probably will be watching alone since none of my friends are free atm.

Sucks to be the only one on vacation.

P.S Does anyone know where the heck this damn Alliance Francaise theatre is?
