>What is Ma.K?
Originally called SF3D, Maschinen Krieger came into existence in the 1980's, with Kow Yokoyama credited as being it's primary creator. SF3D was more or less a collective effort with Hobby Japan and kitbashers, who made mechanical monstosoties from various model ranges and custom sculpts. Everything from Macross, Dorvack, Gundam, Star Wars, and Tamiya military models were mashed together and gave birth to one of a kind mechs. Models of these kitbashes and sculpt were made and sold, with a story revolving around this world coming out after the fact. It's a niche range of militant mechs that has slowly gained attention over time. If you like Gundam and have a secret love affair with military vehicles give Ma.K a try!

Speaking of JP Battletech, I'm curious. Did the first editions also get published there? If so, how did they get around the Unseen's designs? I mean, I don't think Tatsunoko would like to see, say, a straight up VF-1S on this brand new foreign tabletop game brand, for example.

It was launched from the get go with the designs made by Studio Nue, the closest you'll get to the unseen designs is from the JP version of Mechwarrior 1 that was spruced up and released on PC-98 and the X68K. These designs went on to be used as the original batch of IIC mechs though the Battlemaster design became the Griffin IIC for whatever reasons.

>As announced in the Official Gazette on December 10, 2025, the animation production studio Gainax Inc. has completed its bankruptcy reorganization and ceased to exist as a corporation, bringing an end to its nearly 42-year history.

I read an interesting Japanese comment that pointed out that what Tomorou was saying to Gekkomon may actually be what he felt about himself in relation to Asuka, that he was always causing trouble and messing things up growing up with his erratic e-Pulse, being taken care of, while his brother gave up everything. If Tomorou had never been born, maybe Asuka wouldn't have had to drop out of school after their parents were arrested. Maybe he would have still had opportunities. Gekkomon is part of Tomorou, they're mirrors facing one another. But Tomorou still had the greater responsibility in not saying something so hurtful.

back for more blog posting for my Digi marathon

Finished Tri 2 and 3.

Tri 2 was boring, and nothing much happened in it except at end, but the character x Digimon interaction was nice.

6/10

Tri 3 was way better.
Liked the emotional ride, loved the Digimon trying to have a fun time with their last memories with their trainers, and the Kabutarimon battle was absolute cinema.

8/10

I just hate Meiko and all of her scenes are cringe generic "dummy stupid girl for porn", though I wish Meicoomon return to normal. it quickly became one of my favorite Digimon alongside Elemcon and Dukemon.

>>23667810
The porn parody I was referring to was Angel Blade rather than Jyubei's stuff that can get away with referring to Mizuki as Mizuki due to Doujinshi rules.

>Anyway, to go back to the point, Gravion can be a pretty ecchi series, on par with Godannar at times.

There is also Dangaizer-3 (also by Oobari). VS Knight Ramune & 40 Fire/Fresh (by Kotobuki Tsukasa) are also pretty ecchi. Kotobuki Tsukasa, Kimura Takahiro and Masami Oobari did a lot of character design for significant amount of ecchi mecha stuff.

Yeah, that's what I was referring to; we might have got it mixed up.

> Kotobuki Tsukasa, Kimura Takahiro, and Masami Oobari did a lot of character design for a significant amount of ecchi mecha stuff.
I've watched a few of Tsukasa's works, but I'm a huge advocate of Obari and Kimura and can say even their most tame works can be borderline ecchi. And speaking of Kimura, I wish he hadn't left us before we got an anime adaptation of Shin Mazinger Zero.

How long does it take to properly train a Mobile Suit pilot for military use? Pretty much in both UC and AU, the training pipeline for soldiers seems to be rather fast, and they're able to become combat pilots in the span of only a few months or even faster after finishing basic training. For more career roles such as academy officers, it seems to be a much longer process.

>0079 has Amuro, Hayato, Kai, Job, and Sayla become adept at piloting in the span of a week or so
>0080 saw Chris becoming a fully certified test pilot in the timespan of about a year.
>0083 mentions Kou and Keith going through a Federation military academy, meaning it probably took about a year for him to become a military test pilot.
>Athrun became a combat pilot after his training before the events of SEED, which also seems to have taken up to about a year to complete.
>00 tells that Setsuna became a Gundam Meister in the span of a year at the age of 14
>G-Witch mentions that the piloting course takes about three years, although it's not meant to be a military pipeline, since the education is meant for creating civilian professionals like test pilots and pilot instructors for industrial needs. Moreover, the students already have experience from piloting before being accepted, and most of the time they're just learning industrial and commercial skills during those three years. The training to learn the basics of mobile suit piloting probably takes a few months at most in Ad Stella to be considered "experienced".

In other words, the complete pipeline to becoming a fully-certified combat pilot is probably a year or so, when combined with basic military training, officer / NCO course, specialization training, combat training, and finally survival training (and some infantry training if it was not given during basic).

>>
>>23648821
Given that they're both very young but officers and pilots I'm guessing they went to the Federation's equivalent of West Point or Annapolis at 17 or 18 right out of high school in 0079, did their initial training/were commissioned as part of that and then did pilot training right after which probably took a year or a little more.

This would give a reasonable timeline for them to be where they are by 0083 assuming they both started training in 0079 or right before.
>>
>>23671742
The fastest route for an American high school graduate to become a Naval pilot in WW2 would be the V-5 or V-12A college programs for about 16-18 months, followed by flight training for 7-9 months. Maybe the Gundam jocks left high school at 17 and joined the fleet at 19.
>>
>>23672977
Probably something like that given that you can enlist in the modern-day US military at 17 with parental permission and they joined during wartime where the Federation probably needed all the MS pilots they could get so they probably went through an abbreviated training program like the WW2 ones you mentioned.
>>
>>23671739
Theres a multitude of factors that go into that too, shifty schools are only a part of it. Language barriers, distracted/risky driving, over reliance on driver aids, lack of maitenance, and regular drivers doing the same shit too. Next time youre out, just look and try to count how many knobs are driving with their heads down. DOT has been having a field day in my area, throwing OOS left n right.

As far as MS training goes, I would think that by mid to late OYW both sides had accelerated programs just to get bodies on the front, not unlike pilots in WW1. Just enough time to get the barest basics before youre off to the grinder.

Specialized training and schooling came later, more akin to flight schools in WW2, and carrying on to more advanced stuff like the old TOPGUN program.

Gee, maybe they should just dubbed the sentai back when they had the chance.

So apparently the Ninja Kidz thing has been cancelled. I'm not sure how to feel. On one hand, the fact that they were using AI sucks and they deserved the backlash they got over that. On the other hand, it's almost always fun to see PR fan films, so it's a shame to hear that this one has been killed off. Especially since it actually had Zedd, Goldar, etc. and wasn't just "five/six people in perfect MMPR cosplay vs. one guy in a cheap Halloween mask."

The Kikaider 01 toku after the intial arc where Kikaider often appears is over focuses a bit more on the matter of the robots not being human, judging right/wrong. That said, it still keeps Kikaider 01 entirely heroic. No tragic ending unlike in the manga/anime either.

Harlock was another good show that convinced me about 70s shows. Kiruta's a good character and he gets better, I was in comparatively disappointed with Arcadia Of My Youth though, as beautiful of a show as it was. Harlock's great, I heard Yamato was a bit lackluster in comparison, but it's something I have to watch myself (and 999), and I don't really expect to be disappointed by Matsumoto either.

Fake peace cant be uprooted by a "true war", which can never bring true peace. True war isnt knights dueling each other honorably with their ideals at stake, true war is like gassing colonies and dropping them onto earth, senseless killing by people kept in the dark about the real goals of the nation and its leaders on whose behalf they murder, firing bullets into other soldiers and civilians they never met whose ideals they dont know and never will, with no idea of what it means to kill. Autonomous weapons and mindless drones are the ultimate form of the soldier and what an army really desires from the people they enlist, its not the bastardization of modern warfare but its absolute zenith and only delusional romantics fool themselves into thinking otherwise.
