>They are desperate for whatever Tomino wrote. Bandai could probably greenlight Gaia Gear next.
Even Tomino admitted was surprised they chose Hathaway's Flash. He said he wrote it when he was depressed and not his best work. In retrospect Tomino thought lt the story was too dark with a depressing ending.

But I guess Bandai is freaking out that there's no UC left to animate. Their UC cash cow has been stretched as far as it can go.

I'm not saying that it is Middle English, just that it's closer. Beyond drift, American English has too much of the various immigrant languages to be exactly like Middle English. Not just Germanic and Romantic influences, but quite a bit of from the various phases of West African/West Indian, er, "migration" (not always with the quotes, of course).

Chess might make the example a little clearer. If you had all the flights named after chess pieces or plays, you could interpret that as meaning that leadership sees everyone as useful, disposable pieces. You might be a little disheartened to be named Pawn Flight.
If however, you were led by leadership who very clearly didn't see you as disposable you might see it as less 'I'm a pawn being played with' and more 'we're playing against the enemy'.
When Dealer and the XO talk with gambling metaphors, other than when they're glazing you they're not talking about you as being cards, the things you play the game with and might need to give up or mislead with to win. They're talking about the things that they and their subordinates can do, the 'cards' you can play as the collective poker player. Like in the second land battleship fight, when the XO has Dealer's 'next card' it's all engaged aircraft bouncing the cannons off course so they can't get a firing solution.
Think of it like seeing it as FCU high command playing poker against Sotoan leadership with everyone involved as cards to be held or played as needed, for the more cynical take. The distinction between 'the player' and 'the cards' is important. Your immediate leadership uses the metaphor more like 'us playing against them'. Dealer and the XO see themselves as with you, not above you.

For a related idea, think about AC7. Ultimately the 444th is just saying the quiet part out loud a lot of the time, particularly with what the DLC suggests about OADF loss rates. Sending people to war invariably means less coming back. It still feels different being told 'we expect many of you to die doing this and that's fine' versus 'many of you may not make it back but this is important enough that we have to'.
Which framing is chosen tells you something about what they think of you and how they approach what they're sending you into.

Probably made an absolute fucking mess of that but fuck it, too late now.

None of those are real. There are only two English accents, Received Pronunciation and Chav.

The fights in Hathaway are what I wish all Gundam shows (UC entries at least) looked like. The mobile suits actually feel like giant machines with mass, momentum and weight instead of weightless action figures flying around.

Xi vs Penelope and Xi vs Azyleus in particular felt like actual dogfights, except with giant fucking robots. The speed, the way they maneuver around each other, the acceleration and sudden changes in direction. It all feels so much more believable than your typical Gundam fight. 08th MS Team is another exception, but otherwise I can't think of many entries that sell the idea of giant military machines fighting as well as Hathaway does.

Isn't this supposed to be what the real robot genre is about? Yet most Gundam shows have absolute dogshit physics. Mobile suits casually perform anime acrobatics in midair, stop and change direction instantly, and throw each other around like they weigh nothing.

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.

Hey Bros, I figured you'd appreciate this, if I see downloads, I'll set up some servers so we can play. Enjoy.
I've run a local server to test online. works great. Hope you guys like it.

It was fantastical because we knew we didn't have the tech to even fake having the tech.
Trying to make a "fake robot" move was a ridiculously complicated practical effect.
Your "Killer robot" would have been a humanoid with silly makeup and plastic armor. A low-cost Terminator.

But nowadays?
God, even before LMM generative AI, you just need to create a 3D model, make sure you control your distance right IRL, and you can have a spider robot fight you hand-to-hand in the street with simulated rain more real that actual rain.

>Coincidences with the moon missions
The moon missions demonstrated to the world what real spaceship looked like. Even if we still persist with boat-in-space that's mostly because faking 0 gravity is very costly, difficult and make it difficult for actors too.

What the fuck was Hathaway's problem?

Qt Hala gets shot down by Lane and this guy doesn't even try to recover her body to honor her memory. Just leaves her there. Then during the actual fight against Lane, he has like 10 different chances to just kill Lane, point blank, and instead of putting a beam shot through the cockpit during their aerial maneuvers or just stabbing it with the saber he decides to grab the fucking thing and throw it around like a ragdoll.

Two of his pilots are confirmed dead, the ship crew is unconfirmed, and this man feels nothing. Zero remorse. All he can think about is Gigi. Not Hala, not the other pilot guy who died alongside her, just Gigi. His crew, including the fat captain and the bikini mechanic, are probably dead, and he still doesn’t shed a single tear.

What a terrible leader.

>>24060654
I was honestly quite surprised by how different the experience of watching the first Hathaway was in a cinema versus at home, but it was also just a conventional cinema with a nice sound system and screen. The medium is the message and all that, I suppose.
I did see that 2 got a release on one of those formats that projects onto the walls to give a wrap-around effect and I can't imagine that's a good way to watch any movie, let alone one that's 90% two people talking or pondering things.

That's because they wanted to make the MK II connection "smoother" but in result removed it from any iconicness other than the chest and head.

>>24062010
Refined barzam suffers from being a barzam head stuck on a mk ii frame with some barzam inspired detailing on it. AoZ keeps most of what made the barzam unique while mating it to a more federal style torso rather than the odd barrel chest that makes the original look shorter that it actually is. The shoulders are also a bit more MK II looking in shape rather than simple looking triangles.

>No zeek/chicken like legs.

So long as I have my own life I am my own self, which this pathetic thing will never be since the sole reason it exists is to be a slave to my old existence. Whether I sink low into personal nothingness or achieve something I never imagined possible, I'd still consider myself superior to this thing in every way, right up until I die, because I am myself, and this thing will never be itself, since apparently its very existence forbids it.
