wolfx Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you, Gundam Destiny!
Graham Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 (edited) Please tell me that is a joke. Graahm (Damn it, got me so upset I can't even spell my name right)! Edited September 6, 2004 by Graham
Anubis Posted September 6, 2004 Author Posted September 6, 2004 Dammit don't scare me like that! It's BS, but well done BS. Funny stuff. Where's it from?
Keith Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 Damnit, don't give sunrise any idea's. Though I'm surprised there wasn't a Gundam Gestalt in G.
Anubis Posted September 6, 2004 Author Posted September 6, 2004 Damnit, don't give sunrise any idea's. Though I'm surprised there wasn't a Gundam Gestalt in G. Actually..... Lest we forget the Grand Master Gundam. Not quite a gestalt, but it did incorporate parts from all 4 of those suits.
Anubis Posted September 6, 2004 Author Posted September 6, 2004 I've been wondering, given what the initial 5 are like, what is the mid-series replacement going to look like? We've got a Strike Mk II thing going for the Impulse, maybe some type of funnel equipped MS for the mid-series upgrade? I can forsee huge ugly mobile armors making their way in as well, I hope not, but can easily see it happening sooner or later.
Jolly Rogers Posted September 6, 2004 Posted September 6, 2004 (edited) That thing is an abomination... That's gotta be the most original Gundam design to come out in the last 5 years or so! Edited September 6, 2004 by Jolly Rogers
Druna Skass Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 That thing is an abomination... That's gotta be the most original Gundam design to come out in the last 5 years or so! Original my ass, that thing's a rip-off of Voltron.
Druna Skass Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 I've been wondering, given what the initial 5 are like, what is the mid-series replacement going to look like? Either way I just hope Okawara's not doing them. The guy who did the first 5 suits and the Astray would be alright.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Junichi Akutsu? okawara should just stick to cleaning up that guy's designs
Anubis Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 (edited) New update from Gunota Headlines. Like GUNDAM being an acronym in Seed, ZAKU will also be one. Blue Cosmos appears to be the big problem this time if the new leader is being showcased already. The Mirage Colloid and Neutron Jammer Cancellers are now banned equipment under the treaty, but everyone knows both will be used anyway at some point. By saying not necessarily having Kira, Lacus, and Milliaria in the show despite the opening, I'm taking that to mean not yet. That may be for stuff later they don't want to get into just yet before the show even starts. Also considering Lacus's fan base I doubt they would leave her out of the show. Apparently Shin will sulk less than Athrun, which is definately a plus.   DESTINY info from this month's anime magsAccording to reports on Animage posted on 2ch's ongoing SEED DESTINY netabare threads, the first episode will be titled "Okoreru Hitomi" ("Angry Eyes" or "Eyes That Get Angry"). Other staff credits... Production: Satoshi Toba Storyboards: Mitsuo Fukuda Character animation director: Hisashi Hirai Mecha animation director: Yousuke Kabashima The Junius Treaty was signed in the first half of C.E. 72 at the place where Junius Seven once stood onboard an Earth Alliance battleship. There, ZAFT built a monument to the treaty. The details of the treaty itself state that both sides were to ban the use of Neutron Jammer Cancellers and the Mirage Colloid. Both sides also agreed to set a quota restraint on the size of their MS forces. Despite that, the two continued to research and develop new weapons due to the lingering bitterness between them. Because of the MS force limit, an emphasis on quality rather than quantity came about, leading to more advanced MS. And this month's Newtype had the following descriptions of Destiny characters: Neo Roanoke - An Earth Alliance captain. He commands the special forces group that Stellar's team belongs to. He's deeply trusted by subordinates. Lord Jibril - Blue Cosmos' new leader. Through his power, the organization has made a comeback in might. He plans the extermination of Coordinators. Seiyuu: Hideyuki Hori (George Glen from Gundam SEED, Scwartz + Kyoji from G Gundam) Notable info from the Q&A portion: - What happened to Kira? Kira, Lacus, and Miriallia appear in the OP, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will appear in the series. (Similar to Amuro and Char appearing in the ZZ OP). - Dearka and Yzak? No comment. - Characteristics of Luna and Shin? The relationship between Luna and Shin is more like mother-in-law and son than sister and brother. For instance, Luna always gets on about Shin's dress code. Although Shin has a dark past, he doesn't get down on himself like Athrun. - About Rey Za Barrel? He's a leader and roommate of Shin's. Cool and meticulous as well. Lastly, DESTINY, GUNDAM, and ZAKU are all acronyms for this series.  ¶ 4:45 AM Edited September 7, 2004 by Anubis
wolfx Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 Z.A.K.U : Zodiac Alliance Killing Unit ???? D.E.S.T.I.N.Y : I'm not even gonna &!(@!*( try.......
Anubis Posted September 7, 2004 Author Posted September 7, 2004 Didn't know the Savior could do this.
Hikuro Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 DEAD END STUPID TERRIBLE IDIOTIC NEWBIE YOUNGIN tada!!!!!! that was as bad as someone with proper Engrish.
sJorrit Posted September 7, 2004 Posted September 7, 2004 (edited) I saw the first attack video and must say that the Gaia gundam is actually cool looking. but it looks like gundam going transformers? Imagine: "Gundam Transmetal" Kia screaming, STRIKE MAXIMIZE!!!" and the pilot of Gaia "GAIA BEAST MODE!!" that would be sooo lame sorry for my bad english Edited September 7, 2004 by sJorrit
rikiryou Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Then again we've already had a whole lot of wacky designs, particularly in G Gundam. Remember the Nether Gundam a.k.a Windmill Gundam? Matador a.k.a Bull Gundam? Mermaid Gundam -> Fish. And so on and so forth. I'd certainly like to see Kunio throw out more junk like that found in G Gundam for SEED-D. Of course, that wouldn't happen, if it did, it wouldn't sell since they'd look awful.
Druna Skass Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Is it me or is that Mwu's chin? Hmmm...
Anubis Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 (edited) Is it me or is that Mwu's chin? Hmmm... I am SO going with evil Mwu clone on this one. Since La Kluze was an evil Mwu's father clone, it would stand to reason dad made a copy of his boy too. Edited September 8, 2004 by Anubis
Keith Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Hmm, depending on his age, he could actually be kruz's son.
azrael Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 I am SO going with evil Mwu clone on this one. Since La Kluze was an evil Mwu's father clone, it would stand to reason dad made a copy of his boy too. I won't say evil clone yet, but I will say, our masked man most likely has a big connection to Mu/LeCrueset. What that connection may be....we'll see. Although....it could be LeCrueset back from the grave (do a frame-by-frame, Kira actually missed his mark with that beam saber).....
Anubis Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 Kluze lost his helmet though, and with the exposed vacuum, he wouldn't have been able to get out before the genesis fired. But who knows? Anything could happen. More reason to watch destiny to find out what the deal is. There's still enough loose plot threads left from Seed to tie this into.
Seven Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 (edited) Is it me or is that Mwu's chin? Actually, come to think of it, I've seen that chin before! Not to be smartassy, but this Hisashi Hirai guy tends to draw almost all of his characters with one chin... a long narrow pointy one... he's as amazingly unoriginal with character designs as Okawara is with Gundam mecha design. I could find at least 5 different characters from 4 different animes that he designed for that look like Mwu. So it's possible that this guy isn't even remotely related to Mwu but rather a victim of lazy design. Edited September 8, 2004 by Rotary Magic
Anubis Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 Point could have been made without tossing scryed pics in. We all know the designer's tendencies and discussed the similarities in other threads. We already agreed anyway: We don't know who it is. Just speculation until we watch the show. Based on how things were done in Seed, you can make a few theories for Destiny.
Druna Skass Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Well he could also be a illegit son of Mwu. I don't think Ariga had Mwu cloned too since he replaced Mwu with his clone as the heir. But then again, maybe he thought he could start from scratch with a clone of Mwu. I want to see Destiny just to find out who the hell this guy is...
Hikuro Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 0_o doubt son of mwu...this guy has got to be near his 20's.....they'd have to be twins in order to be related unless somehow we're now gonna get time traveling involved...which would be a first for Gundam. But hey we atleast got a month to go and first episode will be up....wonder who'll fansub it? It ain't Anime Junkies that's for sure!
Anubis Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 He's definately not Mwu's son, Mwu was in his 20's still. If the masked men are going to "stay in the family", then it's gotta be either a twin, or more likely a clone I still think (since they already threw the cloning card on the table). Neo sharing Mwu's VA has got to be a sign though.
Anubis Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 I'd imagine Haro^2 would sub Seed Destiny just like they finished off Seed for us. Finding the fansubs may be trickier, but possible with the right sites. Bandai hasn't gone after subbers like ADV has recently. If not, then I'll succumb to HK this time as a hold over at least.
Hikuro Posted September 8, 2004 Posted September 8, 2004 Well someone make sure to let me know cause I'd like to watch it but I'd like to understand it.
Anubis Posted September 8, 2004 Author Posted September 8, 2004 Well someone make sure to let me know cause I'd like to watch it but I'd like to understand it. I watched one episode of Seed raw cause I had to know what happended (right after Blitz was destroyed) and I couldn't take not having subs. I can't do raws. I'll be waiting eagerly every week for the next subbed Destiny episode all over again.
Panon Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Neo sharing Mwu's VA has got to be a sign though. Not really. Unless you also think that Ray Za Burrel and Stellar Loussier are also clones, since they share Le Crueset and Flay/Natarle's VA's.
Druna Skass Posted September 9, 2004 Posted September 9, 2004 Watch him be Ariga illegit son, that neither Mwu or Raww knew about...
Anubis Posted September 9, 2004 Author Posted September 9, 2004 Neo sharing Mwu's VA has got to be a sign though. Not really. Unless you also think that Ray Za Burrel and Stellar Loussier are also clones, since they share Le Crueset and Flay/Natarle's VA's. I commented a while back about this when I first mentioned the VA list. Read the thread. It's common to recycle VA's, there are a few actors from Seed who voice different characters now. But putting the same VA for Mwu in a new masked man, when the first masked man had a strong tie to Mwu, leads to the theories I have mentioned. Just theories. It's fun to speculate sometimes. Wether I'm in the ballpark or not we'll see when the show airs. Side note (just read the closed rumor thread): I would also be wary of the rumor mill. There's a lot of stuff that will be "leaked" that will very likely be BS. Trust the magazine articles and press releases, as well as whoever catches the raws first. Remember, all actual the info gleaned so far is for the first episode or two. That's it. Just like the info that was around when Seed came out. The mid-season relacement mecha most likely won't be revealed until: almost mid-season. We spent a long time saying "what is that MS in the intro?"
