Anubis Posted August 22, 2004 Author Posted August 22, 2004 (edited) The two halves bit is a direct homage to the RX-78, and then the sillouette packs give it it's add-ons. The Impulse is to the Strike what the Mk. II was to the RX-78 gundam in a way. Has some shades of GP01 in there to me. It's acceptable to me, the "aile" version doesn't look bad, undecided on the other 2 starter packs though until I see them in the show. Chaos and Abyss just look crappy though. The Gaia I acyually like, and the Savior isn't anything special, but at least acceptable. Looks better than the Airmaster at least. Abyss is inexcusable. Chaos really does look like it's trying to do a gerwalk. Few mecha issues aside the show itself I am still quite looking forward too, as long as they clear up loose ends this time over it's run.

Terrance Wong Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 The black one (I haven't bothered to get the names down yet) looks pretty good. I mean, it transforms into a BuCue-like...thing, how cool is that? I'd buy one. Isn't it also the first transforming Gundam to transform into a quadruped design?

Also, Chaos's "barrels" actually are gunbarrels apparrently. Gunota Headlines has a bunch of new pics up. Edited August 22, 2004 by Anubis
Anubis Posted August 22, 2004 Author Posted August 22, 2004 One that was kind of funny: Athrun, doing his best to end the Quattro Bageena comparisons
azrael Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 So...their weapons pods eh? Humm....I prefer the Gunbarrel Dagger's take on the weapons pods. http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/seed-msv/...a1+aqme-x04.htm From the rest of the pics on Gunota's site, it looks like Shin was at Orb when the Earth forces attack it... interesting.
Druna Skass Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Speaking of Gunbarrels, what does the back of the Gunbarrel Dagger look like? Ever since Dat Pinche Haro told me about a 1/144 kit that Bandai was making of it I've been thinking about makeing a 1/144 Gunbarrel Strike.
Hikuro Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Haha I so saw Athrun doing something like that to the point it's not even funnY!

Yeah, and his family was apperantly killed then. Would make quite a bit of anger towards the EA. Can't have a main character without any teen angst after all.
Anubis Posted August 23, 2004 Author Posted August 23, 2004 Now there's going to be a Seed Destiny astray as well, taking place in the two years in between Seed and Seed Destiny. link
wolfx Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Now there's going to be a Seed Destiny astray as well, taking place in the two years in between Seed and Seed Destiny.link Is it just me or is Bandai taking their merchandising way over the top?
Hikuro Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Might be a good thing, probably lots of stuff that would need to be filled in for those 2 years to know just what exactly is going on. I don't doubt there will be events in the anime that were caused by the events spoken in the two year gap which DESTINY ASTRAY will take off from. But uh, anyone notice how V Gundam like the Astray there looks?
Druna Skass Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 Hmmm, that gray frame looks better than all the other Destiny Gundams I've seen so far.
Anubis Posted August 24, 2004 Author Posted August 24, 2004 (edited) Damn Gunotoa Headlines is useful: On this one I am going to say: WTF? Rumored name: Neo Roanoke Note that he has a Fed uniform. Edited August 24, 2004 by Anubis
Anubis Posted August 24, 2004 Author Posted August 24, 2004 Some gifs from the new trailer. Shin at Orb during the fight
Anubis Posted August 24, 2004 Author Posted August 24, 2004 There's another one that shows the Impulse linking up just like the RX-78 used to in flight, but it was just past the size limit for here.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 wow...another char look-a-like how umm...very original oh well, athrun is actually more like char IMO and some others... I really hope this doesn't end up being a total rehash of older gundam series
Deacon Blues Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Anyone happen to get the First Attack vid yet? Wanted to get that out on release with our group...
Effect Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 wow...another char look-a-like how umm...very original oh well, athrun is actually more like char IMO and some others... I really hope this doesn't end up being a total rehash of older gundam series Seeing as how SEED ended up I think there is a very good chance of that.
Hikuro Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Crusete! Its him I know it! he infiltrates the alliance and crap! AAAH! >< dear god!!!! The Zeta!!!!
Seven Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 Why is it that all of the Astray mobile suits are always better looking than the ones in Seed or Seed Destiny?! They should just flip them since Astray is not going to be as up front as the series...
Druna Skass Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 What the hell, did Ariga Fllaga make two clones of himself?
azrael Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 What the hell, did Ariga Fllaga make two clones of himself? Considering how much of a nut he was, choosing a clone over his own son, it's definitely possible.
phuqueue Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 What the hell, did Ariga Fllaga make two clones of himself? Considering how much of a nut he was, choosing a clone over his own son, it's definitely possible. It's also possible that we've just once again fallen victim to Hisashi "Clone 'Em All" Hirai and his identical character designs.
Druna Skass Posted August 25, 2004 Posted August 25, 2004 It's also possible that we've just once again fallen victim to Hisashi "Clone 'Em All" Hirai and his identical character designs. For SEED anyway, I don't think they all look the same, aside from Lacus, Kira, Cagali and Athrun everyone else looks fairly distinct.
Hikuro Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 I will say it again in my best Exadore, "ooooohhh......THE ZETA!"
Anubis Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 (edited) Here's the main Japanese Cast list. The masked man's voice might raise an eyebrow or two. It's common to recycle VA's though, as seen with Rey (Zaku Pilot) and Stellar (Gaia Pilot) in this list. So have to wait and see if it's a plot clue. I don't think it's a coincidence though in this case. Shin Asuka - Kenichi Suzumura (Shin Kudou from Macross Zero)Lunamaria Hawke - Maaya Sakamoto (Hitomi from Vision Of Escaflowne, Reika from Rahxephon) Stellar Loussier - Houko Kuwashima (Flay & Natarle from Gundam SEED) Sting Oakley - Junichi Suwabe (Greed from Full Metal Alchemist) Auel Neider - Masakazu Morita (Tidus from Final Fantasy X) Meyrin Hawke - Fumiko Orikasa (Seras Victoria from Hellsing, Kim Hotaru from Rahxephon) Gilbert Dullindal - Shuuichi Ikeda (Char Aznable from MSG) Talia Gladys - Mami Koyama (Kycilia Zabi from MSG) Rey Za Burrel - Toshihiko Seki (Rau Le Creuset from SEED) Earth Forces masked man (Neo Roanoke?) - Takehito Koyasu (Mu La Flaga from SEED) Athrun Zala - Akira Ishida Cagalli Yula Athha - Naomi Shindou  Edited August 26, 2004 by Anubis
Druna Skass Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 If that guy does indeed have something to do with Mwu and Raww, I wonder if Ramius will show up again. Have her on some tracking-down-a-person-with-a-very-strong-resembelance-to-her-slain-lover adventure.
Anubis Posted August 26, 2004 Author Posted August 26, 2004 (edited) Just from the trailer you see Kira, Lacus, and Milliaria already, so it would be no surprise (and welcome) to have Murrue as well later on. Edited August 26, 2004 by Anubis
Hikuro Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Earth Forces masked man (Neo Roanoke?) - Takehito Koyasu (Mu La Flaga from SEED) He lived!!!!!
Druna Skass Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Earth Forces masked man (Neo Roanoke?) - Takehito Koyasu (Mu La Flaga from SEED) He lived!!!!! How? When we see his helmet floating out in space with the visor shattered...

When we see his helmet floating out in space with the visor shattered... Watch it be his actual father or something. Either that or a cloned evil Mu.
Hikuro Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 the bad ass hero rarely ever dies unless you actually SEE HIM die....wait......Strike went boom......uuuuhhhhhhhhh okay okay I got it! Like he always says! "I make the impossible, possible!" so HAHA! Beat that yeah!....... .........haha........heh...... Okay two possibilities really.........either he's a clone of Mwu...or it is Mwu.....Takehito has a very unique voice to him, I can name ALOT of anime he's been in and I don't think he can disguise his voice too well compared to other VA's in Japan....so my guess is, clone or original of Mwu, if he's a clone, now wouldn't THAT be somehow an interesting twist if he came in contact with Murue? I mean Crueste and Mwu had a connection between eachother, would you think Neo could have a connection with Mwu and know about his feelings for Murue? Hmmmmmmmmmm now that sounds interesting I think. Kenichi should be good at playing Shin Asuka, since the character is suppose to have a rather dark attitude from his family being killed, and will more than likely try to act mature about things until he goes Beserk or something, that should be good.... but Shuuichi, now they're bringing in the big guns....I'd LOVE to see him just kick ass with the role, I hope this guy actually turns out to be like how Char was, cool, collective yet a bit phsycotic...I really hope this character makes a dynamic twist into the story. Hmmmmmmm........that's my 2 cents, if they got a rather impressive crew on them, this could turn out nice
