The futuristic Almighty Moon Queen swaps places with a primitive Earthling girl and is made to do labour for the first time in her life. She's put to work in a field hospital, treating victims of the war that she began when she invaded Earth.
Can it get any more kino? There's this long sequence where she's cleaning the bloody surgery instruments and she appears mystified by how brutal the saw is. It's such a simple, deadly tool, made solely to cut through flesh. They've been fighting their wars with giant sci-fi mechs and laser swords, some real Weapons of Mass Destruction. Here she comes face to face with how brutal and primal killing another person used to be. Tomino is a genius

The saw isn't for flesh, it's a bonesaw. You use sharp knives/scalpels for flesh. They're all tools to save lives at the expense of parts of the body, not for killing.

Everyone is always quick to praise Diana but I think Kihel was the one who really stole the show. She not only had to impersonate the queen of a vastly technologically advanced people but did a better job of convey Diana's own wishes than Diana. Also she probably had perkier tits and a tighter vag. Harry really walked away the winner here.
>>
>>23991876
She really deserves praise, did so much with so little time and knowledge that Dianna coudn't do it by herself.
>Also she probably had perkier tits
Her body does look healthier

Not sure about that, that coming of age cerimony sure looked like it went wild.

why was Turn A's character design so different?

Same reason it's mech design was so different. Because it was. You're a retard.

Fine, I'll use simpler words. Did they get a new character designer?

It's Akiman, bro. You should know him for at least one of his characters, some Chinese fighting girl with huge thighs.

Bandai is inconsistent with their romanizations, the official subs used Willghem and WaDom but every recent release uses Willgem and Wodom. Nothing as bad as SEED's naming like with Dullindal/Durandal though.

Turn A is top tier but it should've ended with Loren plapping Sochie's plump ass

Her crying that he had to go live with the Queen for her last days had me tearing up. And the Queen sitting in her chair sipping coco in the snow that she closed her eyes to finally pass had me balling.

No one will convince me her name isn't Lux.

Whose name? Lacus? Don't be ridiculous.

Rakusu is also acceptable.

what else would you like to talk about OP
>>
>>23993241
I mean they changed character designers from Z to ZZ with Kitazume who stayed on for CCA. Then went back to Yasuhiko for F91. Hiroshi Ōsaka afterwards did Victory’s character designs.
>>
>>23994258
Outside a few like Loran, most of these really are ugly character designs. Like they wanted them to be unique and diverse but forgot to actually make them look interesting in their own way. You know you fucked up your character design when SEED and Hirai sameface came by a few years later and mogged the hell out of Turn A Gundam six ways to Sunday.
>>
>>24005356
You don't know what good character design is

Tomino likes caricature artstyle. He praises One Piece for having good art.

according to a post in 2014 it came from a databook called "Turn A Gundam Art Works"

What's former Louisiana/Mississippi/Alabama called if Luzianna's the territory north of that region?
>>
>>24032592
> Hughes Harbor: A southern port town named after Hughes, an ancestor of Lord Borjarno and Lily Borjarno, who purchased the surrounding land over 300 years ago. Though the area is considered only a territory and not part of Luzianna proper, it is ruled by Luzianna and guarded by the Luzianna Navy. The naval department refine Phlogi-stone here.
I suspect the "surrounding land" being referred to here is that region. I don't think it has a name outside of that.

Early on the Moonrace keep demanding to be given the "Sunbelt Zone" to settle in, which is said to be sparsely populated (screen cap is episode 6 dialogue). It might not have any other proper name if the land hasn't been officially claimed by any nation.
>>
>>24032619
The sunbelt zone refers to the entire southern part of America. It's a real place.

>>24032621
The name sounded very appropriate for the region but I guess I know now it's rooted in reality.
