All the Gundam shows since Witch have being developed outside of Sunrise. They probably are aiming for 2029 before their next show. They also said they want to keep having new work every years until the 50th anniversary in 3 years.

Which studio would you like to work on a Gundam show next?

>Sleggar (or Slugger in this "thing") is a violent rapist and woman beater who only helps out the Pegasus because he gets blackmailed

All in the same fucking story too. All 3 of those plot points easily could be things from the runs, but all 3 at the same time? Those runs never got that crazy outside of that one time but I consider that run an excepting since just about every canonical named character died and new OCs had to keep getting introduced and 4chan's going to 4chan.

>>24060746
Wasn't the whole intersex thing in Sidonia being undecided (whatever that actually looked like) before settling on one way or the other once a suitable partner was found? After that it was just a matter of flipping sexes (presumably without the ritual butchery like irl), not going (back?) down the middle route. And Nihei didn't even have balls to include canon carpet munchers despite all the signs pointing to just that at some point. Although, given the context, I guess it's understandable, with Sidonia's limited population or whatever.

Europe is merely defending itself against the US-bound BIG TECH brother.
Yes I know you are thinking of the intent to create digital identity. Create as an option, not enforce, those who want to enforce it would be lobbies from BIG DATA because it would make their business of selling/controlling information much easier. What they seek is the split difference between putting lines to keep business out, and putting lines to keep consumer in.

As much as I like anonymity to be only judged on what I say, it doesn't honestly protect freedom of speech when algorithms shadow-ban you and plutocrat get upvoted by millions of bots in their latest scheme to engineer consent.

But does the west do humanoid giant robot without rivets outside of gundam parodies?

Reminder Tomino wanted all of ZZ to be like the first half and it was his idea the whole time.

I've seen some retardos here say he wasn't involved with the first half. Peak delulu. I don't know why so many on this board just lie and make up shit like this. It's why I've tried to avoid interacting with UC Gundam fans as much as possible for the last 10 years. They are very autistic and reject reality. Some of the worst people online. I bet some will even try to deny it even still with this direct source from Tomino himself.

ZZ > Zeta btw

It is ultimately meaningless, but Gundam's incomplete nature is the only reason why Tomino came back to it.

>>24061650
akshually, they originally vowed to never make a sequel. Naturally that changed down the line but the story was definitely considered complete. Kamille's VA even famously said something like 'why are you making a sequel? Original had such a good ending' during his auditions as Kamille.

>>
>>24062633
Yeah, Tomino really didn't have a choice. Ideon flopped. Xabungle flopped. Dunbine flopped. L-Gaim flopped. Meanwhile, MSV was outselling all of them, a magazine original that didn't even have an anime attached to it. But even MSV was running out of ideas when they had to invent silly mobile suits that couldn't possibly have existed during the events of the original show, like Guncannon II. Bandai knew only Gundam had any real brand value when it came to model kits, needed a new show with new mobile suit designs and squeezed Tomino's balls so hard he had to squeal and give in eventually.

>Tomino: In my case, from Z Gundam onward, I had to repeatedly step back into the mess I’d hoped to abandon. As an adult, I had no choice but to professionally manage my aversion to Gundam because it was how I made a living. Those twenty years felt like wallowing in constant frustration and bitterness. Despite my efforts to forget, I was constantly forced to remember. But, it’s business, you do what you must to survive.
>Yasuhiko: Have you ever been this candid in interviews before, talking openly about working through resentment and bitterness?
>Tomino: No, I’ve consciously avoided it because being honest about that would’ve made life difficult.

They mention that Agnika "Disappeared" and Bael ceased to work all but implying the AV implant basically consumed him. They also mention that previous people tried to reactivate Bael in the past but Mcgillis was the first person it actually turned on for meaning there was possibly something to his ranting about being Agnika's second coming after all.
>>
>>24063699
I never understood the "disappeared" part fully. At first I thought he just fucked off and didn't want to be seen again and pulled an Obi Wan to go die as a hermit, but after Ein's bullshit then I thought maybe he literally got his body absorbed into the Bael and half expected him to start talking to McGillis in the cockpit

In the end nothing was actually answered

>they get infinity toothpicks, and nothing bad happens from using a banned weapon with impunity.
It makes sense for them to have all the toothpicks, but not for them not to be allowed to use them especially since the protagonists got a toothpick of dubious legality. It makes about as much sense as them shipping corn based synthetic fuels across the solar system.

I think the issue with Toqger is more the suit design than the trains. Back when Power Rangers was big the figures were more important than the Zords for the toyline too, unlike with Sentai.

I guess they could have done American original power up suits, but for whatever reason Saban was mostly wasting their original power up suits in cockpit footage.

>>24062409
It really tastefully manages to transition setting details and story beats from early UC into late UC without enshitifying it with lots of gay baggage. So for example, Mars Zeon (Oldsmobiles Army) are a big player being zeek remnants who took over Mars, but their motivations are usually topical instead of attempting to rehabilitate prior Zeon iterations. The result is a really, really fresh feeling take on faction and ideology instead of having the nth version of a story bending over backwards to justify the many ills of the Principality and Axis. It also doesn't get up its own ass with the politics and focuses a lot more on the robit fightan and character drama as opposed to say, something like Gundam Unicorn or Narrative. The mech designs are all incredibly cool too
https://youtu.be/tniR3vj09H8
Formula Report 0122 is a pretty short game (2-3 hours, ish) where you fly around stages and try to defeat all the enemy MS. Weapons are either effective or not based on factors like what attack the enemy is using, the terrain, etc.
The most important factor is enemy range though, which is split into three brackets on your radar. You'll always want to use weapons inside the range the enemy is in to maximize your hitrate. I say it's a little janky because it can be hard to figure out the radar's perspective, but it is fun and the story's good. If you don't feel like playing it yourself, there's a "game movie" video of it on youtube. I recommend it because the F90 manga /m/'s been gushing about, Fastest Formula, is a sequel to this game.
