...I still don't like the character designs in this. I really don't fancy the way the faces are drawn, in particular. While it's kind of nice to see Gundam without Hirai's character design (which I liked but it was time for a change), this change isn't doing it for me.
And Alpha says...they should've gotten the Eureka Seven character artist. |

For those of you without crummy computers who wanna discuss and dissect some of the newly released visual stuff...or maybe you just wanna create some desktop fodder...
Spoiler for Pilots:
Spoiler for GUNDAMS:
Spoiler for Mobile Suits:
The normal suits are cool and the head gear is better than that fake-Magneto helmet design in GSD...Gundam's obviously rock to me now that we can see some depth to the design, Excia and Kyrios OWN for me...Virtue looks like a play on those plant-named Gundams from 0083... I love the throwback style of the Teiren and surreal feel of the Union Flag...I think it's gonna be interesting to see how they actually fight...Bet you they make the Teiren far more creative in battle than we are expecting based on the design...I bet you it has some tricks...SO far totally with these new stylings (Well everything but Dynames' silent but deadly a$$-boosters xD )...

I also wonder what the MS craze with everyone is...the director will be hard-pressed to give a reason why we're back to piloted machines rather than A) UAVs or B) Hyper-advanced superfighters that can't be picked up by any radar mechanisms whatsoever and have enough loadout to take down 10x their number...
Sort of like an F-22...

I enjoy all the MS design for now. Tieren has one realistic metal look. But the AEU and Union MSs look too advanced... |

Come to think of it, fossil fuel is desirable for aircraft because of the high energy to weight ratio. Even if you could still get fuel for a high price in 00, it would still be like burning liquid gold. Choppers are probably the main means of flight in the 00 universe; they could be converted to run on electricity more easily than jets. No matter what kind of replacement fuel you could use for jets, their performance will suffer. One way or another, aerial combat would take a big hit without a real replacement for jet fuel.

That's the whole idea behind MS's in the Gundam universes, just so you know. The lack of targeting and guidance systems and the like caused mobile suits to become feasible in battle due to their versatility.

I hope this will work for you then.
http://www.mediafire.com/?0dtvmxcrooy I don't really like the song so far... maybe it'll grow on me when a longer version is out or when I see it with the OP. :\

But then, Gundam never bothered to explain why use giant walking robots for warmachines, ever. |

Necessity is the Mother of invention, and I'm sure after the first MS gets tagged by Starscream they'll invent aimbot or beamspam or whatever the hell else that shoots alot and that you love eventhough it'll peel away at the fruit of believability...

That's always been their explanation since 1979. Whether you agree with it or not is another matter.

Gundams aren't real, and neither are space battles. Whether a tank could do a better job or not is a moot point. An anime based around a tank would lose to an anime based around Gundams in marketing and popularity, I can guarantee that

No matter the flaws of a mobilesuit, it is a given that conventional weapons of every sort had taken a hit from the energy crisis in 00. Other than anything nuclearpowered, most military hardware will have to be redesigned. So it isn't a matter of "can an MS beat an Abram", but "can an MS beat a tank that runs on electricity."
