Otaku Surf Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Best view of the Gundams yet. I like the Dynames look overall. Quote
wolfx Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I'm liking the kyrios if only because it transforms and the fighter's nose isn't use a shield. Setsuna F. Seiei 16-years-old Screen details: "Fated boy soldier born & raised in the war-torn Middle East's Kurdis Republic. A cool kid who hates getting close to others and keeps his feelings inside." OMG.....Heero Yuy / Sagara Sousuke? And having names like Allelujah and Lockon are just.....pretencious. Quote
Keith Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Still not sure if I like the new Gundam designs. They kinda remind me of ZOE's Orbital Frames, without the huge cock-pits Quote
wolfx Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Still not sure if I like the new Gundam designs. They kinda remind me of ZOE's Orbital Frames, without the huge cock-pits And what do you have against Orbital Frames? I happen to like the D*ick Viper. Quote
Keith Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 And what do you have against Orbital Frames? I happen to like the D*ick Viper. I've nothing against Orbital Frames, just not sure if I like my Gundam's looking like them, though now that I've mentioned as much, the sup'd up Excia that is almost assuredly going to pop up in the second half of the series may very well have a huge cock-pit Quote

kalvasflam Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) SO the new gundams are: Gundam Anorexic Gundam I have a Gun Gundam Pokey and uhhhh... Gundam Fatboy.... yeah, being fat is a virtue Yes, very impressive Oh... and are we sure the pilot of the Fatboy is a guy? Edited June 15, 2007 by kalvasflam Quote
wolfx Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Allelujah I agree with but how Is Lockon pretentious? I personally couldn't stop laughing. A pilot named Lockon is piloting a sniper-type mech? You can't get as pretentious as that. The designs kinda remind me Super Robot Wars OG. Quote
Fort Max Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 A pilot named Lockon is piloting a sniper-type mech? You can't get as pretentious as that. The designs kinda remind me Super Robot Wars OG. Either you're confusing pretentious with blatant or I'm confused on the meaning of pretentious... Quote
aaajin Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 hope this series will be a more serious series rather than some kids having some special abilities to manuever G.U.N.D.A.M.S again...but wait, it looks like it... just hope that the story line wont suck as Destiny did Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 The story that really counts and serious one. Quote
Fort Max Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 Merchandise overload, might as well just give Bandai your money now... http://www.famitsu.com/anime/news/2007/06/...,73620,0,0.html Quote
eugimon Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 hah, the skirt armor on the exia and dynames are so silly. especially the dynames, looks like a little bow. Quote

Morpheus Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) The official website is updated with the MS profile http://www.gundam00.net/ms/index.html I wander what kind of grunt unit they will use in 00. Edited July 13, 2007 by Morpheus Quote
kensei Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 The official website is updated with the MS profile http://www.gundam00.net/ms/index.html I wander what kind of grunt unit they will use in 00. Probably something that (again) looks like a derivative of a Zaku. Quote
GRAND CANNON Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Translated interview with the Director over at Gunota: http://aeug.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archiv...048877872524582 I'm still very inerested! Quote
Gui Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Thank for the link, GRAND CANNON: very interesting reading I like this part: Q: What kind of Gundam story are you aiming for? A: Don't know if this is a good or bad thing. I haven't watched a lot of the previous Gundam series. When I was first offered this job, I thought to myself, "Aren't there more Gundam-minded people than me?" Sunrise told me "We want to create a new Gundam so the director doesn't have to know a lot about Gundam." I have staff like Yousuke Kuroda and mecha designers, who are Gundam fans, so they will make sure it is Gundam while I will try to create without thinking too much that this is a Gundam series. Perhaps, this might be the theme, but I will bring my own Gundam-ness to the series. Really looking forward to this now Quote
kensei Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Elements of SEED shining through. Gundam Virtue looks like a Murasame. Characters look like murata azrael and Shinn Asuka. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Elements of SEED shining through. Gundam Virtue looks like a Murasame. Characters look like murata azrael and Shinn Asuka. Nope, It reminds of Gundam-X. Quote
kensei Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Nope, It reminds of Gundam-X. Nope. Wrong. There are no elements of Gundam X in the transforming one. Gundam Exia is more reminiscent of Impulse or Strike Gundam due to the armament systems compared to X, which is more reminiscent by appearance. The new transforming Gundam is definitely Murasame-like from the wings to the upward canting centre to the rear to the cockpit. NONE of the Gundams there look like any in X, not Airmaster, Airmaster Burst, Leopard, Leopard X, or Double X. Also I have no idea what you have watched, but none of the characters look like the ones in Gundam X either. Shinn Asuka and Murata Azrael. The ONLY one that looks anything like an X character is the blackhaired girl, and she almost looks like Tifa Adil, not so far from it due to a difference in appearance age wise and also hair and slight features of the face. Any more and you're going a LONG stretch. Edited July 14, 2007 by kensei Quote
wolfx Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Q: How will the MS designs and battle action turn out? A: We hope to bring 2 styles: one is the super action style from SEED, second are actions that take advantage of the MS. When the plot of Gundams entering the conflict was being setup, we had a conversation saying "It might be all right for the Gundams to be super mecha." Therefore, the antagonist's MS was designed reflecting today's weapons and the Gundams were designed to confront them. It will feel like super mecha vs real mecha. The concept of the Gundam being far superior is one concept I had from the beginning. I don't know how much of that you will see, but the staff will follow along and hopefully you might see some odd looking scenes Urmmm..... yay? Quote
kensei Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 That's crap. SEED was better in that case, and SEED Destiny brought the Gundams down to almost the level of a mass production type mobile suit, cause they were still very vulnerable to beam weapons. Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 Designs or not, just looks at the pics or the mood/atmosphere of series. None of them have seed elements. Quote
kensei Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Designs or not, just looks at the pics or the mood/atmosphere of series. None of them have seed elements. Bright colours with modern animation, from character design to mecha design and background, again, the flavor is definitely more SEED and less X, if at all. The only thing that may possible be like X more than SEED is the story which we have info, but don't know much about. Edited July 14, 2007 by kensei Quote
Fort Max Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 It's looking impressive visually and I love Bandai's brave move to bring in someone who knew next to nothing about the franchise or what has gone before. Hopefully this will be as good as Destiny should have been. Are those pics from a new trailer? Quote
Morpheus Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 The second pic, is that a grunt unit MS? The MS design is nice, can wait for the full artwork for it. Yay, the grunt unit design is based on battletech Quote
azrael Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 I'm still getting a Wing-vibe from this... That's crap. SEED was better in that case, and SEED Destiny brought the Gundams down to almost the level of a mass production type mobile suit, cause they were still very vulnerable to beam weapons. What Mizushima said and what I've heard seem to match up. In 00, everybody has MSs, so the the arms race isn't there like in SEED or MSG. Again, I'm getting a Wing-vibe from this. Celestial Being has the performance suits while everybody else has the cannon-fodder stuff. Quote

Celestial Being has the performance suits while everybody else has the cannon-fodder stuff. Sounds like FMP. The rest of the world has these clunky mecha whereas Celestial Being will have the uber ones that are faster and more powerful than the rest. Then of course there will be an evil secret organization that has the same tech as Celestial Being and want the wars to go on....... well i'm happy as long as there's loli. XD Quote
eugimon Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 gundam versus battletech huh? Should be fun, I'll be rooting for the battletech pilots. Quote
