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.

Actually, it was 25 MS. S-Freedom was pretty good. Does it even need the METEOR unit if it can do all that damage all by itself. Fukada should throw in some John Woo-moves into S-Freedom...just for kicks. Speaking of METEOR, they finally showed the use of those things on Eternal. They never got a chance to show those things as the turrets they are in GS. I found that to be a nice touch.

Huh? *Wonders why anybody would say that when AnimeSuki is a fansubber site*

Option 1. Getting a fansub is possible, they are out there, but it may take some doing. But it's probably your best bet, if you look below. Option 2. NO. Bootlegs are bad. Not only are you supporting organized crime, but organized crime that cannot comprehend either the Japanese or English languages. Option 3. That will be a long wait...right now, any further Macross releases outside of what's already here (TV, II and Plus) is dependent on an amicable resolution to a number of ongoing or threatened lawsuits. 311261[/snapback] Thanks Pat. Too bad there's not an easier way. So, more questions... Where do I get a fansub of Macross 7? Is it possible to get DVD instead of VHS? 311263[/snapback] http://www.animesuki.com/series.php/166.html Start downloading.

Of course, if it did have PS armor, which it doesn't, it would change color... Kinetic weapons, explosives and bladed weapons used by grunts don't have the energy or punch and is countered or nullified by the armor because the force of the impact can be distributed over a larger surface area, nullifying the effect. Beam weapons have more energy behind them compared to kinetic weapons and are packed tighter, so they are harder to spread out over the surface area. Against bladed weapons, most use their blades to cut. The edge of the sword is a large surface area which is being used against a large surface area (consider my example of a sword striking plate mail versus a sword stabbing plate mail). The force is distributed, nullifying the attack. When Shinn stabbed Freedom, he had lots of force and confined it to a tiny point, namely the point of the sword. Tiny surface area and lots of energy...almost makes it a beam weapon. Concerning Mirage Colloid. There are other applications for it besides stealth. I would say impractical. The nukes are fairly small as is. MC uses too much energy to maintain it. Unless you want to strap lots of batteries on it, you're making a small missile suddenly much bigger. And what happens if the MC fails due to lack of power before it reaches it's goal? Then the enemy sees the nukes and the start countermeasures. Even if you strap a MS's nuke reactor, that reactor is still fairly large and what if you can't fit enough fuel for reaction on it (even though that amount is probably more than enough) It is possible, but is it feasible? As of this post, I don't see anything that says strapping MC on a nuke is feasible. Although, since we have 10 more episodes to go, that may change.

What Andy wanted to do was wear down the power on Strike. Phase-shift consumes more power when hit to counter the incoming force (Newton's 3rd law?). You force the power to drain by hitting it repeatedly. With Shinn, just calculate F=ma, where (m) would be the mass of Force Impulse + mass of a ... In any case, the amount of force in that or any kind of thrust would pierce any armor. It's not due to what the sword was made of, somewhat..... it's just how much force was behind the blow that pierced the PS armor. If I was throwing around a good sized bowling ball, the blunt trama would be more than enough to hurt anybody.

They are also used in energy deflection armor, used to form beam sabers, spread viruses (In Astray, Mirage Colloid was used to spread computer viruses, but this usage never caught on, but one of the applications of this was the DRAGOON system), etc. So MCs are like the Minosky particles from the UC world. I find it somewhat excessive to plug in a power cord of that size just to do maintanence. Concerning Anti-ship swords. From what I've heard (and from what I've hear of Gai's big sword), they are coated with the anti-beam coating. So they can be used against beam blades (at least the sharpen edges, not the backing). Why did the Excaliber pierce a Phase-shifted Freedom? I think of it this way: Think of Phase-Shift as a kevlar-lined plate-mail. It's good enough to stop bullets, shrapnel, or light cuts with a blade, etc.... But happens when to throw lots of force behind a bigger blade, like a sword? That body armor ain't going to do nothing to stop the other guy from running his sword through you. When Miguel used the sword against Strike, he was performing a slash. There really isn't a lot of force behind that blow and the spread of force was the entire blade, and had a greater area of effect. With that blow, the PS armor could repel the hit. So the PS armor saved them. Now what did Shinn do with the Excaliber? He engaged full speed and rammed Freedom with the sword. The amount of force concentrated at that one small point was significantly greater than the amount of forced used when Miguel slashed Strike. There was much more force behind that one thrust as oppose to the slash. I'm guessing this is why he could stab Freedom. PS armor is good blocking explosions, bullets, slashes, things where the force is distributed or can be distributed. But when faced with a force that cannot be distributed easily like a full-speed ram with a sword, PS/TP armor fails. With plate-armor, it was good enough to resist slashes, blunt objects, blah blah blah, but what happened when someone stabbed him with a sword? The plate didn't hold and the sword went through. Same idea with Impulse's Excaliber vs. Freedom. That's my $0.02 on that problem.

Translation of the model info (thanks to Seed forum & AnimeSuki): Again, still doesn't tell me why they need to be plugged in when the thing runs hybrids with a nuclear reactor. Unless a nuclear reactor doesn't provide suffcient output for Destiny.... Maybe it works like a hybrid car engine? Uses battery for the most part, but switches to nuclear in instance where more juice is required... Anybody got any other ideas?

This one? http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=14139

Well, either way, most of those guys aren't from the Atlantic Feds. Some info from the Destiny model kit concerning Destiny: It still doesn't answer my question about what the heck Deutrion is....Interesting that the Wings of Light are another Mirage colloid effect.... So...is Shinn going to tell Luna that only his new "powers" can save her from dying?

Eurasia. The funny thing about life, things have a way of not turning out like you hope.... Whether she pilot it or not, it is something Uzumi left for his daughter to take care of. Yeah...like episodes 12 thru 34.... Shinn didn't say he would protect Luna...He said he would protect Impulse... Luna is the Emma Sheen of Destiny. She's gonna die. Or have something bad happen to her... Unfortunately...it hasn't been said if Destiny and Legend are nuclear powered. It would be helpful to know what Deutrion is, unless they engrished Deuterium, which is used for fusion. Which still doesn't explain why they're plugged in if they use a nuclear reactor. I don't think those things are fuel lines either. The only thing we do know is Dullindal hid Destiny's true abilities by giving it a 2nd stage MS number (i.e. like Impulse, Gaia, Saviour, etc).

They'll probably re-pack it in the slim cases. I doubt they'll cram the episodes on the discs though. They'll probably keep the 9-disc format...but who knows.

Although I don't know if you can compare ranks between naval and army... edit: nevermind.

Tell that to the animators ... (Taken from episode 37) Apparently, Legend uses Virtual PC or VMware....First it uses the old one, then it looks like it switches to the new one (of course, Legend and Destiny use the same cockpit layout) And like I mentioned earlier... someone care to explain why Destiny and Legend are plugged in? Agreed. Flay is different from Luna. Flay turned Kira's promise into a guilt trip. Luna just isn't thinking straight. Not to mention she bought the lie about Athrun and about him "twisting" Meyrin. One of the magazines pointed out if there was any real love with Luna x Shinn. I'll have to say no. It's a relationship but there's no real attachment, no love, in there. edit: Now that I think about it, Uzumi wasn't a pacifist. Otherwise, he would not have allowed the creation of the Astrays. He was a hypocrite because he allowed the Gundam project to take place on ORB territory via a 3rd-party (Morgenroete, Inc), which goes against ORB's ideals (no conquering others, no involvement in other countries affiars, no toleration of invasion of ORB). You can't have #3 without weapons. He didn't like to fight but that didn't he he couldn't fight.

It might be a bright target, but it is also a symbol. Just as Hyaku Shiki was a symbol of the AEUG's defiance to the Titans. Should Akatsuki be destroyed, Cagalli becomes a martyr. Dullindal wants to stop the war. So does Cagalli. What does that mean if one person wants to kill the other when both are trying to achieve the same goal? Is dying for a cause you believe in so bad? Christians died for their faith (Although, in the end, the lions were the happy ones, one could argue ) She's doing what she believes to be the right thing. It may be futile, it may be a fools errand, but in the end, she's satisfied with her actions. Sometimes, sitting on the side is not enough for people. That's just symbolism. Once thing to note about Destiny and Legend....They have power cords during their launch....why? Legend also seems to use the same OS as Impulse, Chaos, Gaia, Saviour and Abyss.....

Or he goes to ORB, catches a plane ride to the Moon. Either way Djibril ain't staying on Earth...period. Remember, After LOGOS, ORB is the only other force left that could stand up to Dullindal. Just because it's dated, doesn't mean it still isn't a force to be taken lightly. Look at Freedom. It is certainly dated and it still cause havoc. It was only after someone decided to come up with a plan/scheme to take it down, that it was taken down. Of course, Cagalli ain't as good of a pilot as Kira....Kira needs to teach Cagalli some Jedi tricks... Lacus is also a hypocrite. Building a small army up there on Eternal... They're just hoping and preaching for the best...but expecting the worst. The "Just-in-case" clause. Lacus even admits to being a hypocrite. Watch the last 2 episodes of GS. Her fate would be no different than those soldiers who fight for her.

I like the new opening. But that was after listening to it so many times trying to re-encode a copy of episode 38 over the weekend. It doesn't fit the flow of the animation some what but it's a nice change for a male vocal ("Pride" really let me down) Besides the standard specs? 1 beam rifle, CIWS, shield? Nope. Now let's update you guys over here (Spoilers for episode 39-42): Those EA ships were actually the Eurasian Federation. This time, Eurasia turned on the Atlantic Federation. Quite powerful. It is Dullindal's "trump card". So nice to be back...I was getting quite frustrated with AnimeSuki's crowd or should I say, lack of thought....

Correction: Kamen Rider Black RX

A new series will eventually come out next year. Just wait for further announcements from Toei. Hibiki still has another 1/2 a year to go. By July/August, we should hear some rumors coming out about the next series.

They said it would be someone unexpected...Meyrin is about as unexpected as we can get. Heck, she's stripping in front of Athrun in the preview...Everybody thought it would be Kisaka or Lacus, or Luna/Meer (well Meer does tell Athrun...), or Talia..but no one thought about Meyrin. As for Sting...the rule of thumb is, we didn't see them die then they aren't dead. Chaos was cut in half but we never saw Sting's reaction. Of course, it could be Destiny's version of Rosamia in Destroy.

Time for spoilers! (highlight to read) (Thanks to the kids at AnimeSuki) Comments: It's comfirmed. Meyrin jumps ship with Athrun. We have our Reccoa Londe. I guess Shinn has embraced the "Dark Side". He's gonna try to shoot down Athrun (Obi-Wan). Hopefully Meyrin doesn't die. I like her. And EA has another Destroy....At least now it didn't seem like it's appearence was wasted the last time. Too bad it doesn't last this time...god dang it. And Luna definitely feels like Emma/Fa in this. If Meyrin survives, guess Luna was fooled. I wonder...If Kira is using Strike Rouge for the time being, is he gonna use the IWSP? This would be a good oppurtunity for it. Cagalli will probably smack the crap out of Kira if he gets this MS destroyed... So I guess we have a showdown in ORB again.....great. And it's official, Shinn has become Darth Vader. Also "vestige" has played and word is, it has the same feel as "Meteor". edit: Confirmed. These are the ones from Gundam Ace.

I definitely like the updated look to the original riders. It feels like they're really wearing armor as opposed to the jumpsuit and rubber parts slapped on it.

Actually, they would have brought in Sayla in Zeta. Unfortunately, Ms. Inoue was busy during the production of Zeta so they couldn't call her in. So they pushed her to ZZ. Bring back Sai....nah. Anyways, his seiyuu (Tetsu Shiratori) is working on a movie so they were lucky to even get him to narrate a recap episode.
