Anubis Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) Shinn managed to annoy me in ep. 18. No way someone wouldn't have reprimanded him for being so insubordinate by then. You don't act like that in a mission briefing. Ace or not, you don't pull that with your commander. Shinn's lucky Athrun is being as cool as he is about it. If it was Rey doing the briefing, Shinn wouldn't have pulled that crap. He really has no reason to have such a beef with Athrun. If anything he should be happy Athrun saw the light and accepted Dullindal's offer. Even in 16, what Shinn did wasn't that bad, but he still needed to listen. Yeah he saved a town, but he wasn't supposed to be out that far. He should never have been in that postion. After the Windams were toast he and Athrun could have tag teamed Neo's Windam and Chaos. Nothing would have saved the sub though. That thing had a "kill me" sign on its bow from the moment it left dock. This time in ep. 18, Athrun should have planted his foot up Shinn's ass. Especially for doing that in front of the other 2 ship's pilots. He made the Minerva look bad with that childish display. Arthur should then have planted his foot up Shinn's ass after Athrun, then rolled up a Code of Conduct Manual and shoved that up Shinn's ass. Next thing that's wrong: Mission's over, why is Shinn getting out of his mobile suit to mingle with the citizens on the ground. Get your ass back on the ship. Celebrate in the hangar with YOUR crewmates. Ahtrun too, but I'm gessing he went there just because Shinn decided to go mingle and revel in his success. Shinn's definately getting an inflated ego. Something bad is going to happen to make him come to his senses. Edited February 21, 2005 by Anubis
azrael Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Ep. 20-23 previews from MediaWorks.co.jp (spoilers, highlight to read) Phase 20 - PASTAfter EA and ZAFT started the war, the situation of Shinn who lived in the neutral country Orb is revealed. After his family's death because of EA's invasion, Shinn survived alone and moved to PLANT. He reconfirmed his reasons to join ZAFT and fight. (Flashback episode? No, not recap, flashbacks? Sounds like a talking episode) Phase 21 - Wandering Eyes the FAITH member Haine Westenfluss, who comes to the base with Dullindal, boards Minerva to work together with everyone. On the other hand, Shinn rescues an almost drowned girl near the seashore during his vacation. After they get to the shore, the girl tells Shinn that her name is Stellar. (Wonder what Stellar is doing there...) Phase 22 - The Sword of Deep Sky Not happy about the situation of the war in western Eurasia, Djibril makes the Atlantic Federation President to demand Orb to send troops to Suez. Orb and EA decide to work together in the war at the Black Sea. Everyone onboard Minerva gets along well with Haine because of his cheerfulness. Shinn and Athrun are shaken underneath by the news of Orb joining the war. (Sounds like light action 3 weeks, till we get here) Phase 23 - The Shade of War The suddenly appeared Freedom disables Minerva's Tannhauser. Cagalli launches in Strike Rouge from Archangel, and orders the Orb troops to stop fighting. A three-way battle breaks out between EA&Orb, Minerva, and Archangel. (Ouch a 3-way battle, My money's on Archangel)
Hikuro Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) lol Rey should have asked in that last frame "You think I got a sexy butt?" I mean 0_o look at it! it sticks out more then Lunamarie's! oh! And with that weird shading on the backside.....makes it look like he's wearing a thong..... Edited February 21, 2005 by Hikuro
DarkPhoenix Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) Ack. Somehow I double-posted. Edited February 21, 2005 by DarkPhoenix
DarkPhoenix Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Got my GuAIZ R and Lunemaria's Zaku Warrior today. Here's the GuAIZ R first..
DarkPhoenix Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 And side. No, my Lunemaria's Zaku wasn't put together wrong. I switched the arms to be that way.. it just feels right. ;D Also took the gun off its 'arm' because that arm severely cripples how well the gun can be posed. The GuAIZ R is very nice.. Hefty, and its forearms have a swivel joint so that you can face the shield however you want. Seriously, that's the only use that joint can have, as it only serves to rotate the shield hardpoint on the forearms..
kensei Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Like the sculpt, but not the colour, Lunamaria was more of a dark blood red.
DarkPhoenix Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Like the sculpt, but not the colour, Lunamaria was more of a dark blood red. Yeah. The color isn't TOO bad, but it definitely should be a darker red.. Atleast it's not the hot pink that Char's Zaku came in.
Fort Max Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 Sorry to bring this back up but a couple of pages back I mentioned that I thought Saviour was of the nuclear drive persuassion. I was reminded of the original pre series info which clearly stated that it was powered by the newer deuterion battery system. But when I was watching this episode, Saviours power up sequence clearly flashes up the "Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assualt Module" start up screen. Also azreal said that the shape of Freedoms wings was different in the closing animation, I saw this as well this time now that you mentioned it. I'm surprised I didn't see it before, the difference is quite clear. Not only are the wings more sword like in shape but it seems to be carrying new weapons and it's back to back with another gundam, I think Saviour though it could be the new suit we've yet to see. The episode was quite cool, a lot of stock footage (no gimmick forgotten) but a vicious albeit short battle. I'm surprised no one has mentioned how uncomprimising Shinn is when fighting. The Gelsgee MA is so badass, I'm going to be praying for a figure of this in some form, preferably HCMP. A lot has been said of Shinn and Athrun but I think Athrun has the measure of him and they even seemed to start bonding at the end when Shinn was telling his tale.

But when I was watching this episode, Saviours power up sequence clearly flashes up the "Generation Unsubdued Nuclear Drive Assualt Module" start up screen. If you watch Saviour's startup, when the GUNDAM acronym is highlighted in red, Unsubdued Nuclear is overwritten by Unrestricted Network, like Impulse and the stolen units.
azrael Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 If you watch Saviour's startup, when the GUNDAM acronym is highlighted in red, Unsubdued Nuclear is overwritten by Unrestricted Network, like Impulse and the stolen units. You know....that's the most asked question around.....Seriously, people need to let the dang thing finish booting-up and use the pause button. Also azreal said that the shape of Freedoms wings was different in the closing animation, I saw this as well this time now that you mentioned it. I'm surprised I didn't see it before, the difference is quite clear. But, as I analyzed my own post, I factored in a few other notes. Like weird camera angles. And although my MG Freedom is still in it's packaging, you could play with camera angles and position the plasma guns on a MG Freedom such that they appear as such in the ending credits. Again, no way to know until they do it. Not only are the wings more sword like in shape but it seems to be carrying new weapons and it's back to back with another gundam The wings are dependent on how their drawn (see the opening credits).

Druna Skass Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Is Miriallia supposed to show up later on, she's listed in the official site under Orb?
azrael Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 Is Miriallia supposed to show up later on, she's listed in the official site under Orb? At this point, we really don't know what her role is.....She has shown up, but without her VA. Guess we'll just have to wait.

The scene cuts literally just after Unsubdued changes to Unrestricted.

You'd think being a trained soldier would hammer some maturity into you, man that guy is such a whiney baby.
zeo-mare Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 i did not see these links here but here is the 1/100 Blaze Zaku, 1/100 Sword Impulse and a few others, looks like there is a 1/144 Lacus Clyne Pink Zaku coming out, and here are some more pics of the new Gouf Blaze Zaku various Seed Destiny kits gouf big gouf pic wild dagger chris
Morpheus Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 Orb new carrier looks nice, it must be specially made to carry those Murasame`s. I wonder if Bandai planned to made Watfield custom Musamame into HG or Msia .
Druna Skass Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) A Dagger with and X number...? Whatever... Is it just me or does the Wild Dagger remind anyone else of the GM III? Edited February 24, 2005 by Druna Skass
Anubis Posted February 24, 2005 Author Posted February 24, 2005 All hail the Gouf. That thing looks great. Who'd have thought an orange Mobile Suit would look pretty good.
zeo-mare Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 i agree the gouf looks cool, pray that they make a 1/100 kit of it. chris
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 the only thing that kills the new gouf is the flight pack on the back...it just doesn't go with it at all if it didn't have that pack i'd be all over it...oh ell, the gouf is a better offering than the new zaku's imo...
zeo-mare Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 actually the flight pack looks good if you changed the color alittle added alittle orange to it, it would probably look alot better
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 actually the flight pack looks good if you changed the color alittle added alittle orange to it, it would probably look alot better the color change isn't the only thing wrong with it...the wings on the backpack really distract from the whole look of the ms for me...thus killing the look...thanks bandai for making something cool and sucky at the same time i'm not gonna bothter blaming okawara for anything...he's done enough and he really deserves more credit than he's getting...he can't exactly be creative when he has bandai/sunrise breathing down his neck wanting him to simplify the designs and all
Druna Skass Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 the only thing that kills the new gouf is the flight pack on the back...it just doesn't go with it at all if it didn't have that pack i'd be all over it...oh ell, the gouf is a better offering than the new zaku's imo... Well seeing it like that, it doesn't look all that bad. I still like Norris's more though.
azrael Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 I don't mind the backpack. It makes it look cleaner. This is, compared to this flying Gouf.... Image courtesy of MAHQ.net
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 (edited) since it's sorta seed destiny related...has anyone translated the destiny astray manga yet? i'm interested what happens there...looked like the destiny astray gets the aile pack edit... i like the flight gouf better than this new gouf Edited February 25, 2005 by Dat Pinche Haro!
azrael Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 (edited) BTW, Upcoming character lineart Looks like we'll see Miriallia again to update the answer the previous question about her. Edited February 26, 2005 by azrael
Druna Skass Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 When are we going to get to see Neo's face?
Keith Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 ....Something about that line-art doesn't look right to me, and I've figured out what it is.
Fort Max Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Gunota have posted some info for the 3rd Ed, DESTINY 3rd ED infoAfter songs of SEED/DESTINY were featured in the Feb 26 broadcast of Fuji TV's "Our Music", Sony Music (the main sponsor of the program) along with Palm Beach Inc. released back-to-back commercials for the 3rd OP and ED song performers.
