Well gents, there is a satellite version of this week's episode without the scrolling emergency announcement (which I have and should be avaliable now). The hope is, next week's clip show will try to offer something we haven't seen or addressed yet. The last 2, despite being clip shows , did offer some food for thought. Hopefully, this one can do the same. edit: According to the Gundam Ace spoilers, Guess will have to wait 2 weeks.

...But seriously, it's not a question of the weapons on the thing, it's a question of its age. Regardless of how armed it is, it was designed *years* earlier than the latest generation of MS's - so like Strike it has a slower OS, outdated engineering and mechanics, and a less efficient power source (remember it was only Zaft who came up with the anti-neutron jammer cancellers - and even if ORB had the technology back then, there's no way Cagalli's dad would want to so blatantly violate the treaty and upset the balance, bla bla). ... 313472[/snapback] Anti-neutron jammer canceller...talk about a bad contridiction.... What treaty? I don't remember ORB ever signing any treaty. I'd take DOS/command prompt over any GUI any day.

Finally, Jona gets what he deserves. http://img53.imageshack.us/my.php?image=11...486474bc5qc.gif Kinda funny how Cagalli got Jona to admit to her identity. (BTW, there was an 6.0 earthquake in Japan so it will be a pain to find any clean screenshots) http://www.h-opera.com/ Apparently Kira has been teaching Cagalli some Jedi tricks. Akatsuki....No one can harm that thing...unless they get physical (i.e. melee fight, Shinn needs to perform his signature move, stab the belly with a anti-ship sword). Unlike a beam shield that absorbs the hit, the mirror coating armor reflects it right back. Not only are you wasting your shoot, you get a refund as well.

IIRC, it was another SA gunboat-type. But you may wish to search the forum as we have discussed this.

Don't you know? ZAFT has horrible security. It is possible that when they were loading up Gaia on the transport, that transport took a "detour". http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/uc/ba...html#beamshield I think that's the best answer we have for you.

There's one every generation. There's always someone out there who says this stuff "corrupts" our youth. A decade or 2 ago, it was TV.

Yep, still not done yet. More info (courtesy of AnimeSuki's forum)

Yeah I'm not done yet. (Spoilers, highlight to read, thanks to the guys at Seed-Forums)

Edited was not counted the the episode count. GSD may extend past the 50-episode mark (like 51..52...). It has been confirmed that it is moving up an hour early to make way for Blood TV series. But right now, we don't know. Also from Gunota, our 3 DOM pilots. There is an issue about the Gundam Ace previews so I'll post those when it gets cleared up. There are also Dengeki Hobby previews as well. I'll get to those when they are translated. Akatsuki's backpack is actually a Striker pack (looks like ORB had a Silhoutte system long before ZAFT... ) edit: one more thing. Word around the grapevine is Akatsuki was originally intended for Kira but he got Freedom so it went to Cagalli. A good nod to F91 would be if the 2 guns on the backpack were VSBRs. I would like to see those things again. Edit 2: even more images: Color Akatsuki (I think this is the real Hyaku Shiki homage...) And the DOM pilots, Euclid and Strike Booster:

In any case, Take-Two has ceased production of the game until Rockstar sends them a "clean" copy. Not that it matters now, the game has been out on PS2/Xbox for a year. Yeah...heaven forbid that a kid would get their pr0n from a video game.

Just a quick spoiler from the Char Blog:

Best Buy also pulled it. Lazy parenting? Sure. Just because you don't want to watch over your kid's well being, you expect others to do it for you....What happen to the days were it was your own damn fault? Geez. It is just as bad as that kid who said he got his cop killing ideas from GTA and people were blaming GTA, blah blah blah. I also get ideas from my violent games. You know, blasting someone with a rocket launcher, pumping a entire magazine into someone, etc. Heck, all of us have probably had some thought about acting out a gaming sequence. But that doesn't mean we'll actually go do it (unless you're that stupid). That kid was the one who killed the cop, not GTA. If the game has a "M/17+" rating and you're buying it for a 12 yr old....you gotta wonder. edit: clarify.

Unfortunately...Yzak's GOUF will probably not have the extra gatling gun from the ending theme animation. Nice custom though.

Oh, you mean the Orgus Valk.

http://www.anime.net/macross/story/encyclo...ghball_missile/ What that inside joke is...only the producers know.

Gundam X probably suffers from Family-Guy-syndrome. Bad time slot, horrible ratings, etc....then it comes out on DVD and boom, the popularity sours. With the X manga now, people want to go back and look at what this series was about. I've had X fansubs for....4..5 years now. And some people are now just discovering it. With Turn A, people didn't really notice it since very few people ever saw it. Now that fansubs have come out, more people are watching it. Could people be wanting more of a Gundam fix than they get from GS/GSD, or IGLOO? Sure. People read from us that SEED pays homage to the older series (MSG, Z, etc...) and they find out there's more Gundam out there. Some of which are older then they are. So they want to find out more. It's not unusual.

http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-destiny/mvf-m11c.htm Yeh, it's a Murasame. Huh? It works in space.

They probably changed it to Strike Freedom since Nu and Super have been used already. That's probably a by-product of lowering Rouge's power specs to Strike's level. He could pour more power to weapons allowing a faster rate of fire. What MS? Time please? If anything....Kira should have brought the IWSP with him. Rouge was designed to use that thing.

I'll check with my Tungsten later. edit: The lo-fi version works fine on my Tungsten.

Rumor had it (this popped up at a Japanese convention, where someone asked a Bandai rep) that the next series would be something more for the older crowd (the UC kids). I forgot when this was asked (It may have referred to MS IGLOO) so who knows.

To heck with it, I'll save the user the trouble... http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15288 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15259 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15085 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=15028 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13380 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=14939 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9070 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=13571 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9687 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9483 I think that's it....

Blah, forget editing my last post... That should probably be "same engine-type". A few months back, some magazines mentioned the gold-color on S-Freedom (and silver on IJ) were a product of a new engine. And considering the armaments on SF and IJ, they probably increased the reactor output while keeping it at a relative equal size compared to the last set. Kira hacks......

Doubtful. But you know...no one heard of Providence until the month that it aired. But for now, he'll probably take the Andy's Murasame. But who knows. We should get some more spoilers this week from Gundam Ace. I doubt he'll take Akatsuki. The best explaination would probably be that it's a new Gaia. The translated summary I read of the episode indicated that Eternal was docked with a hidden factory. That's where they were building the DOMs, SF, and IJ. When that recon GINN found them, they decided to leave the factory and draw ZAFT's attention by launching Eternal. The factory is on silent at the moment but it wouldn't surprise me that they built their own Gaia. Technically....it's not his old ride. He reprogrammed Strike Rouge's Phase-Shift (what can I say...Cagalli has a weird brother), but yeah, you could say it's his "old ride".

S-Freedom doesn't use any type of Colloid system besides the DRAGOON. The red dots are just hot debris/particles near the engine exhaust. The same effect was used on the original Freedom. No one can answer that WoL effect yet unfortunately.

Concerning the METEOR units: http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/ce/me...ip_eternal.html " In addition to a pair of METEOR units, which function as gun turrets while docked with the ship, " As I said, nice to seem them animated as such finally. Colonel. Taisa. You're demoting him even further. Concerning Mu/Neo, no one really knows what's going to happen. Since we knew Strike Rouge would not be around after this episodes, most people figured he would take Andy's Murasame since obviously not Andy has his own Gaia.
