I live on the other side of the world so I missed out. Here's a response dump.

The thing is, just because a series is shounen, it doesn't mean it's anti-shoujo (I'm using the anti here in the same context as... matter and anti-matter). Holy shiz, here we go... English. Let me walk you through this, what I'm trying to say is that just because the audience of a shoujo series is female in majority, that doesn't mean it's safe to assume that the audience of a shounen series is male in majority. Shoujo is feminine... but shounen isn't masculine, it's UNISEX!! Lol. Sorry, I dunno how else to explain myself lol. But seriously. It's unisex, haha. And I'm pretty sure a lot of producers know this. Heck, why else would they make their male characters so damn hot. They know WE are watching, too. Quote:

The saddest thing about SEED (and Destiny) is the fact that its writer is a woman, even. Morosawa--darn, what did she smoke? Shame on her. How could she ruin her girls like that. She's the most unprofessional writer I've seen in my life. Lacus and Cagalli, her leading ladies, even, were her biggest offenses. She derailed the latter so that the former (which she happens to be a big fangirl of) could have all the limelight for herself when they're supposed to share (like the two leading men, Kira and Athrun). Seriously, what the heck?! And what's worse? It backfired a hundredfold. For me, at least. Cuz it ruined Lacus instead of using it as THE opportunity to make her shine brighter than Cagalli. I know, it can never make the bastardisation of Cagalli's character acceptable, but at least if it improved Lacus there's a bit of a consolation in it, albeit not enough. But no, it was all in vain. Both chicks got derailed. Talk about killing two birds with one stone. Tragic, really. Same with Shinn. Goodness me, the poor bastard. He was THE new fish. The kid was bound to be hated if 95% of the lines you make him say consists of words carefully picked to bash previously-favourited characters. DUUUHHH. But, okay, fine, what's done is done. Time for damage control. Okay, so what was the damage control? Ummm... bringing Kira in and making him more infallible than G or Buddha. That's what they called damage control. Remind me again how that helped Shinn? Pfft, not a single antagonist was given the chance to redeem himself/herself. Everything was black and white. Anyone who isn't on Kira and Lacus' side is either dumb or evil. Okay, off topic. I'll shut up. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest! PS I bet everyone who engaged in this discussion are chicks. Hahahaha. I see traces of female-pride in every post (not to mention, the length of the posts. We're lucky if a gentleman or two in the thread posted something longer than two lines). Then again, there's always a chance that a Wing fanboy is feminist. *crosses fingers* Nevertheless, well done, ladies. Well done! Last edited by Leave The Pieces; 2011-07-20 at 07:03.

As for when they were cadets at the academy, I think it was a matter of mutual comfort. Zechs wasn't going to express his personal feelings, and even though Noin probably knew that, she was happy to have him around. Zechs hugging Relena couldn't be too affectionate. He still had to project the image of a cold-blooded revolutionary leader, and his subordinates were just a few feet away.

Oh great, this is going to be long. Need to check this thread more often x__x

Judging from this, I'd guess you wouldn't hate female pilots in general, just the examples you've seen weren't so good. 00 had Soma, who was promising, but flopped so bad she went from favourite to meh for me. Sad thing is Seeds writer was female... Gundam doesn't really have characterization as a true strong point imo, it's better in the action/plot department, imo. (When compared to other shows) For example, Macross has way better characterization in general, male and female- so give it a watch when you have time =) Quote:
It managed to sell both characters and plot/story so well, that there isn't really time to care if Alto is an inferior pilot to, say, Klan. (Which he is, I'm sure. She'd kick his butt ) I think the problem isn't so much being a shounen series, many of those have developed strong female leads/ co-leads these days, but being Gundam. as I said above, I think Gundam has different strengths, but it would be nice to have this worked on. Plus, I think there is a much larger female demographic watching it than we think, especially since Seed specifically aimed to draw in female viewers iirc, but also before. They don't need to throw in a female main lead, but a female co-lead (e.g one of the 5-or whatever main pilots) needs to come about in the next few years. It's time. Curse you, Tieria, for turning out a guy Quote:
In other words: They were always close, but Zechs wasn't the cuddly, sharing type (which is funny, as he's scandinavian the stereotype is supposedly "sharing everything you think and feel to the point that it becomes annoying" My Scandi friends laugh and complain about this trait frequently). Imo, her showering and running around in bathrobes when he's around is a pretty obvious sign of what's going on, and considering they got married sometime after EW, I don't think it's a stretch to simply assume they hooked up way before that. You can do that, deeply care for (and possibly love) someone, even if you're not an official couple for whatever reason, which is why this behavior seems kind of normal to me.. Quote:
I heard Urobuchi or Shinbo (can't remember which) want to do a Gundam series at some point. I really hope they give them one, they would work some serious magic there <3 Quote:
In Gundam, I think they've tried to appeal to the female demographic with attractive males and flashy looking girls, but this won't be enough in the long run imo. Not if a lot of these characters are really empty. Now, Wing has good, complex characters that interest you for years to come. But the shows after that didn't. They just had pretty boys and singing girls, although 00 had some good people. And haha, I agree about Dorothy! Quote:
She kind of reminds me of that Twilight woman, who just woke up one day and decided "HEY; let's ruin the advances of feminism today. I have a GREAT idea for a book, about an emo chick, who becomes dependent on a pedophile corpse. Her life goal is to be a wife and teen mom!" Lacus could have been a great, Relena-style character. Cagalli could have been the revolution of Relena, which would have been more accepted by western fans than Relena ever was (sadly). Lunamaria could have been that great female pilot. She's a redcoat after all. I despise incompetent writers. No way I can tolerate what I wouldn't tolerate in a fanfic, just cause they got themselves published Quote:
It's therefore my guess that they would like to see a kick-ass female pilot appreciated for her skills just as much as the girls do. Which just makes the argument "but it's shounen" weaker, if the viewers wouldn't mind. Quote:
We sometimes do this, out of impatience, or to attract attention, or out of affection while we sit around and do nothing. I sort of imagine it's the same thing. I do this frequently to either a coach, or to someone I care for, sometimes without really taking notice of it (or without the other person taking much outward notice- be that a friend, a person of interest, or a coach). It's a little like, uhmm.. casually passing a ball if you're a volley/ basket/ tennis person. I'd say it's simply a request for attention/ sign of affection here. |

The story behind this pic is that Morosawa claimed in an interview that Athrun and Lacus were her favorite characters, and she was rumored to have cosplayed as Lacus at her appearrances in the various anime conventions in Japan, and tried to get Fukuda to cosplay as Kira.

Not to interrupt the giant character discussion, but a question for Mirei, or anyone who has access to the original text of Chapter 9- there was some mention of 'Ares' being tacked onto Epyon's name. So does that mean this is the original Epyon upgraded but a new suit, or is it still considered the same suit? Is it being referred to as Epyon or specifically Epyon Ares?
I seem to recall Epyon's normal OZ-13MS serial code being used to refer to it already which would mean it's considered the same suit, but I want to make sure for wikia purposes. EDIT: Also, although they mention its left arm being rebuilt green, the art for these chapters clearly shows it as red... :S Can anyone please translate what the blurb for Epyon White says on this scan? I know it's bad quality, but.. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__...34527EGW56.jpg |

Now that's a decent reunion. Really, Quatre grabbing Relena's hand was harmless.

I'm pretty sure that would've weirded a lot of people out. xD Quote:
Quote:
I don't know what's wrong with people but it's always crap that is popular whereas the really good stuff only gets appreciated ages later. Just look at literature. As far as strong female characters go, I don't think they're popular in Japan (and as we all know, only Japan matters ). I'm basing this assumption on popularity polls. In Sailor Moon, Mercury was the most popular character (wtf). In Naruto, Hinata is arguably more popular than Sakura. And in Gundam, Lacus always ranks higher than Cagalli. Even in GS, when most she did was sing and look pretty, she was more liked than gun-toting, jet fighter piloting rebel Cagalli. The odd thing though is that I believe that it wasn't necessarily the guys who preferred the pink princess but the girls. At least if forums are to be trusted. So Nishiio's question if the creators just have trouble writing female characters can be partly answered with yes, they do but that damsels-in-distress types are also what sells. To women, that is. Proof? The girls mentioned above. And if we go worldwide, Twilight. Women love that crap. From what I know that Bella chick couldn't even walk on her own without kissing the floor and people were all over her. I don't think guys have that much trouble with strong women, either. There are just too many that have admitted to liking a girl with spunk. But I think that a lot of girls in general can't identify with them. Otherwise Relena's character wouldn't be so horribly off in fanfics (blushing and stuttering around Heero, yeah right). And let's not forget that a damsel-in-distress also serves one very important purpose in a story: make the guy look better by rescuing her. Last edited by IkuzeMinna; 2011-07-21 at 12:00. |

おじゃまします...
(regarding the questions of Kitsoru):
-I was actually wondering what 'Epyon Ares' (no idea since I haven't read the previous chapters and if ever it was mentioned before) it is because the Japanese word is "Tsuginaru tatakai" (next battle) but read as "Epyon Ares". I thought at first it's the name of the other Epyon (not Nataku). Thus, my translation stated it as the name of the other mobile armor. (To cite an example, Tallgeese (in GotL) is read as "One who creates miracles".) But I read it again, and I think this translation is more or less precise: Quote:
-I checked again, and it really stated that the left arm is green @_@. As Duo stated that the reason was because the left arm was torn off during the EVE WARS, thus the replacement of new parts. -The blurb states that Epyon White is Epyon no. 2; Wufei got hold of the blueprint Treize left and built it single-handedly; dragon fangs are in the right arm; beam trident in the left; it's a mobile armor that resembles a three-headed pterosaur; it is equipped with Zero system. I hope chapter 10 scans will come out soon. **** As for the discussions, it may be OT, but I am one person who detests/dislikes Gundam Seed franchise and only watched it only because there's 'Gundam' in the title. It was a big disappointment for me because I just couldn't like the characters no matter how hard I try to understand them D: I am not one who watches anime or reads manga for fanservice. That's why I'm always biased with Gundam Wing. Btw, It's good to read that every scene in the GW anime is being scrutinized in the discussions here xD I wonder if I will read something sappy soon in the next chapters of FT if Zechs and Relena or Heero and Relena have some physical reunion. I'm afraid the text will be something you see in a fanfic. Won't have qualms if it's Duo who will narrate. Last edited by mirei; 2011-07-21 at 08:08. Reason: added some blabbings |

I don't want to get too much into the Japan vs. North America debate either but how much does culture factor in? I remember at some point in the forum (maaaaany pages ago), someone pointed out that GW did not do that well in Japan and GS did great. (I realize GW was probably up against Eva and DBZ etc. etc. at the time.) But why do Japanese audiences just prefer girls who aren't tough? x___x Is it because of the society they're raised in? Or am I just WAY overthinking this and the reason is because the fangirls just want to be like the damsel-in-distress so they can get rescued by Prince Charming? Quote:
Actually, I didn't mind Cagalli for a bit until her character got super screwed up. I dunno. >> I just think GW actually had some pretty deep themes about war, human nature, etc. and the pilots' loneliness really made you feel for them. What did we get in SEED? "I don't want to fiiiigghhht *whine whine*" "Oh, WUT you slept with her? ZOMG" =____= Haha, I wouldn't mind it either if it's still Duo's POV. ^^ |

Seriously, what the heck?! And what's worse? It backfired a hundredfold. For me, at least. Both chicks got derailed.; *Majority wins. A lot of producers will still keep on making their shounen/seinen series lead by admirable male characters and... brainless eyecandy female characters who are nothing but the males' sidekicks. Simply because, it's what the majority of the fans want. ~ Anyhow, congrats. You did a heck of a lot better job to get the point across than I did and ever will. High five! I think it's the Japanese culture and ethics, too. It seems to me, both their men and women... simply like seeing their women very "attached" and giving as much "assistance" as they possibly can to their men (partners, at least). You know, that women should be the subservient gender. Which is why pop female figures such as Belldandy, Chii and, yes, Lacus, most recently, top the female characters charts all the time. The thing is, Belldandy and Chii were intentionally portrayed that way. They were supposed to be exactly THAT. Lacus, however, was not. She was supposed to be the lead male's equal. Not just in terms of importance, but also in terms of function. Her function. She was supposed to be the Relena to Kira's Heero, the Hime Utsumiya to his Yuu Isami. But no. She was the (laying off Pokemon now) Yumi to his Shishio, albeit worshipped by the other characters as if she was the Kaoru to his Kenshin. What the eff. She was okay in SEED but in SEED Destiny, all I could see was a Kira Yamato subordinate. SUBORDINATE. I am not hating on Lacus or the Japanese culture or anything, just criticising Morosawa and how she wrote the character who had A LOT of potential to be truly and unquestionably great. A female character of power and dominance. Yeah, okay, DUUHH, it's the producers' right to make their shows Japanese-friendly because, well, they're Japanese, too so it's what they themselves WANT to see and they also prioritise the preferences of their own people. BUT it wouldn't hurt to be a little flexible, especially nowadays. They are well aware their anime (and anything related thereto) produce hit the Western market. Thank goodness CLAMP (despite the fact that their stuff is shoujo anyway. But Chobits is an exception), Keiko Nobumoto of BONES and Hayao Miyazaki exist. To those who think this is straying away from the topic, please bear with me. It's necessary to compare things and reference other shows and writers to illustrate a point. All that blurb boils down to my attempt to explain why I am too critical of Sumizawa's writing--at least, this particular one at hand. I am EXTREMELY dreading for his female characters in FT. I don't want him to take the same approach in FT that Morosawa did for SEED's sequel. But looks to me, he's heading in the exact same direction that woman did. Just because that approach was what sold SEED Destiny, it doesn't mean it's what will sell Frozen Teardrop... (or maybe, it will? ) I'm almost too sure the popularity of Wing in the West... actually, no, the international popularity of Wing is one of the main reasons why he and/or Sunrise decided to resurrect the masterpiece. If not, he/they could've just made a completely new anime/manga/novel/whatever full of all the angst, drama, kissing, fanservice and female character submissive-ness that popularised SEED, Destiny, 00 and/or Geass in Japan, instead. Rather than put it in Wing's FT. Hello, it's Gundam Wing we're talking about here. The name itself guarantees them there are already audience/readers to milk money from. Outside Japan, even. Whereas making a new one with the same elements (angst, drama, fanservice, angst, angst, angst) would require promotion and advertisement. Quote:

So if the majority of the audience/ buyers is this type of person, and let's face it, there are millions of them... it all goes down the drain. But I had this understanding that there was a slow but sure shift away from this 8as viewers become more demanding/ intelligent). I've always preferred the strong characters in shows, who were most likely side-characters. Nowadays, we see some of these types taking centre stage instead: Sheryl would NEVER have become the main lead/ winner of any triangle anywhere 10 years ago. Moeblob Ranka would've won easily. I think producers were surprised themselves, how the viewers (even in Japan) rejected her, and that's why the show evolved iirc? Was so proud =) Utena, obviously, a classic strong female lead, who beats out the likes of Sailor Mercury (WTF?? Seriously. when we were kids, we thought she was the most useless idiot of the group and everyone hated her xD), and well, everyone else out there. Relena was way ahead of her time though, hence the hate. Quote:

Tbh, I can still understand Lacus being popular AND being a strong character. True, she's completely derailed and horrible by the beginning of GSD. When you use Seed as an example, I can see why people would prefer per to Cagalli, simply because the latter often seems helpless, basic and irrelevant in comparison to Lacus who wields some kind of supreme political power and is a great public speaker. Imo, it's her speeches that lull you into liking her, and make you disregard everything else. Haro helps too. I'm not going to argue that Lacus went horribly wrong, and my greatest desire is to see her go psycho evil on everyone,at least for a while, because it would be awesome. She would be SUCH a good final boss. Cagalli had her moments, and in Seed, arguably was the better character, but her less interesting exterior and less flashy displays of power don't work in her favour as long as the director and writer are morons anyway. They could've easily brought her through as the favourite of fans, if they had wanted to. Thing about Seed is, neither of them are bad characters per se. I like the idea of Lacus. The execution sucks, but... She isn't completely bad imo, just what IS bad is SO bad that we can't see past it without really ignoring a lot of key plot points. edit: haha, i got an anonymous neg rep saying "so/marie moeblobs?"- i don't care, but let me elaborate, as I feel misrepresented/ misquoted. Soma was a strong personality, feisty, focussed, no-nonsense and all around pretty awesome. Possibly THE coolest girl in 00. She wasn't even brainwashed, She was trained as a supersoldier, yeah. But she wasn't unhappy or anything. The duo of her and Sergej had one of the best relationship dynamics of the show (if not THE best. and in a friendship/fatherly kind of way of course). Her personality was not dangerous, unstable or out of control in any way, like Halle. Therefore, there was absolutely no reason to derail her personality, except to make it real easy to dump her together with Alle, with could've been done just the same by having her open up to him like she did to Sergej, easy, full of awesome. But it wasn't meant to be, as instead she got a personality overhaul. DOn't get me wrong, I still like Marie, but she is a wet piece of cloth compared to kick-ass Soma, and imo her abrupt personality transformation was just to bump her popularity with the sweet-girls-loving demographic. Could've been done so much more subtle and without rebooting her for no reason. So, mister (or miss), I dare you to challenge this view in writing this time. Enjoy =) Last edited by Faerie; 2011-07-22 at 18:56. |

This. It kind of sounds silly when one says it like that, eh? The character was way ahead of her time, which should've been considered a good thing, a "breakthrough" or something. It should've had people say "Sumizawa did well, his character was ahead of her time."
But yeah, it didn't work that way, unfortunately. There are those who liked it (myself included), but as much as I hate to admit it, they're outnumbered by those who didn't. Then again, when you think about it, most of the hate is not really because most people simply refused to consider the character is great cuz she's nothing like their cliche preferences. Most of the hate is coming from the fact that she's a girl, and a straight one at that... you know where this is going, right? Lol. I'm not saying that everyone who hates her does so because of that. It's not always the case. But most of the time, it is. Once upon a time, a friend of mine went to an anime convention where she encountered heaps of rabid 1x2 fangirls. She went with a few classmates then but alas, a cruel twist of fate stepped in, and somehow they had to "mingle" with them, along with a few others who didn't know a thing about Wing. Apparently, there were two or three fans who belonged to the unknowing party who bashed Relena to no end, side by side with the yaoi fangirls. The most awful thing about Relena's "condition" is that most of her haters, for some weird reason, have a massive influence on others that before these people even see Wing, they already have a negative grasp on her. They're already prejudiced and critical towards her, when they haven't even seen nothing yet. So, naturally, when they get to see something, it wouldn't register anymore. They'd refuse to acknowledge it, consciously or unconsciously. I feel sorry for Relena, really. Why it's okay for a lot of people to bash her without having even seen Wing, I will never understand. But, as they say, there's always a silver lining. There are still a few peeps out there who have an untainted take on Relena... and Wing in general. Which makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, haha.

Anyway, what I was comparing between the two was Lacus' stance's fixation on Kira's... and Cagalli's undeniable potential to stand on her own. Without dependence whatsoever on the leading men of the show. ^_^ One last thing. If Cagalli had the huge pink hair and Lacus the little yellow hair, nothing else traded (Cagalli's still the fighter chick, Lacus the speech-y Haro miss)... I bet these girls will prefer Cagalli over Lacus. Regardless of what the characters do. Unless, that's what you meant by "less interesting exterior"?

Welp, I'm back home now, which means full-access to the last 3 Gundam ACE's
If there's any illustration stuff I find in them that hasn't been posted yet, I will do so sometime this week. EDIT: Info tidbits that haven't been mentioned/images not yet scanned, broken up by issue: JUNE (Vol 6): -Includes the 2 Wing fanart posters -Shenlong Ka is featured on the Gundam Concierge page, that was never scanned so I'll try to do that -As an aside, I noted Relena seems to be featured somehow in the new Gundam Extreme VS game? There appears to be a mobile scan square about her (along with Cecily Fairchild! *fangirls this teamup*) There's the same feature in July's issue as well. -Rankings: Heero stays at #4, Duo is at 13, Relena's at 13, Wing ZERO is up to 7 from 9, D-Hell is at 18. The special ranking this month is Char and his clones, and Zechs came in 3rd after Char himself (twice, since he's #1 and him as Quattro is #2). Everything for JULY (Vol 7) has been scanned already, as far as I can tell. -Rankings: Heero stays at #4, Duo moves up to 11, Relena drops off the chart, Wing ZERO drops to 10, D-Hell drops off the chart. AUGUST (Vol 8): (I'll scan the unposted images) -FT cover is Heero in his pilotsuit (unf) and Zechs in his White Fang trench with Wing ZERO and Epyon's faces. The rest of the illustrations have been posted. I can note from the english text that it starts out with bits from the Eve Wars with Zechs and Noin, and Zechs and Heero. -Glory is the Victoria Nightmare episode (lol sword tapping is the cover page) up to the point where Wufei runs to get Shenlong. It includes a flashback to Wufei's Episode ZERO, and Meilan/Nataku! Yay (Master O has a mustache? lol) -MG Heavyarms and Sandrock Ka both featured in the Gundam Goods article, but I don't see a date for their release other than '2011'. Same for SD Wing Ka. -As mentioned, MS Girl is Epyon Ka, I'll scan it if no one else has by the time I do. -Rankings: Heero stays at #4, Relena leaps back to #11, Wing ZERO up to #8 -There's also a small feature on the G-Selection Endless Waltz boxset. That's all! I have my hands full this week with Otakon prep but hopefully I'll have some time to get the missing pics up. EDIT2: And as an aside, some goodies from REI: http://pixiv.cc/usabiba/archives/2924683.html Sister Hilde sketches http://pixiv.cc/usabiba/archives/2921637.html Young Naina sketches http://pixiv.cc/usabiba/archives/2925771.html And OT but a blog post that appears to be discussing Duo's jacket mysteriously transferring to Heero in BOP lmfao Last edited by Kitsoru; 2011-07-23 at 05:03. |
