My Gundam Style
Keeping up a good pace on my memes; "Doggie Week" is tomorrow or Tuesday. I should make that a "tag".
I am tired.
For tonight, going to briefly talk about gundam. JUST LIKE the seiyuu meme, I found a "30 Days on Gundam" meme, but I don't think I can do it at the moment. Maybe next year? Maybe in 2013, when everything has settled down, and I end up wherever, I'll have watched plenty of gundam. Cause I just started Zeta. Day 1 and Day 2 I should be able to answer easily, but the rest...seems to be for veterans.
Here's the list:
Day 1 - Very first Gundam series you watched
Day 2 - How you discovered Gundam
Day 3 - Favorite Gundam character
Day 4 - Gundam series you disliked
Day 5 - Gundam character you relate to
Day 6 - Most annoying Gundam character
Day 7 - Favorite Gundam
Day 8 - Most epic scene ever
Day 9 - Saddest Gundam scene
Day 10 - Favorite OVA
Day 11 - Favorite Gundam series
Day 12 - Favorite scene
Day 13 - Cosplay of your favorite Gundam character
Day 14 - Current (or most recent) Gundam wallpaper
Day 15 - Post a battle scene
Day 16 - Post a quote from a character
Day 17 - Favorite woman from Gundam
Day 18 - Favorite Non Gundam Mobile Suit
Day 19 - Favorite Universal Century Gundam
Day 20 - Favorite Masked character
Day 21 - Best Gundam of all time
Day 22 - Favorite couple
Day 23 - Gundam you think had the best, or most intriguing, art
Day 24 - Favorite Gundam hero or heroine
Day 25 - Best Gundam villain
Day 26 - Your favorite mobile suit weapon
Day 27 - Favorite opening theme song
Day 28 - Favorite Non Gundam pilot
Day 29 - Favorite Model kit
Day 30 - Favorite ending to a Gundam series
Also, I learned how to create a Lj-spoiler! I am quite slow...
Now I don't have to use the "highlight to read" technique.
MS IGLOO Recollection
There are two parts of MS IGLOO, and a 3-episode sequel "Gravity Front". I have no idea what IGLOO could possibly mean. There doesn't seem to be a single hint. When I first heard about it, I thought maybe it was a mobile armor. In MOST cases, the title of a gundam work is named after a machine, a group, or a year. Like there's G (God) Gundam, there's W (Wing) Gundam, Gundam AGE, F91, Z (Zeta) Gundam, ZZ (double Zeta), etc. 08th MS Team is based on what is says: The 08th Mobile Suit unit commanded by Shiro Amada. SEED...there's only SEED mode.
[Impressions and some spoilers. ENTRYYYYYYYYY!]The first two parts are called "Hidden One Year War" and Apocalypse 0079", both centering around the actions of an engineering squad of Zeon whose number and full designation I can barely remember. Olivier May is in charge of evaluating the machines and reporting about there at the end of the each ep. Turns out, as the One Year War progresses, these machines are conveyed as "obsolete" or "not that useful". In the first ep, the Jomangund anti-ship cannon, but is it out shined by the mobile suit Zaku forces.
Ogg (I think) is the Zeon Rival to the Federation's Ball, but were piloted by a ton of rookies. Not that regrettable. They also designed a Mobile Diver, a machine to perform atmospheric re-try to shoot down missiles.
If I know one thing, if you're a pilot to one of these machines, you're going to die. There's a death in a single episode. Heck, death really really revolves around this entire series, especially MS IGLOO 2. But hey, it's gundam. It's war, and you totally got to die in this franchise.
For MS IGLOO 2, we are taken to the Federation's point of view. Very reminiscent of a war movie, especially with the CGI. Ben Barberry looks like a familiar actor, or someone you'd usually see acting as a main role in a war film? Anyways, I found MS IGLOO 2 a little...scary. Each main character was touched by a Death God (impersonate as a beautiful female floating around), and each one just had a terrible trauma. And they really...lose their sanity.
Actually, I think Ben (first ep main character) was very unlucky. The last two are insane because they carried a grudge. It's just awful to watch.
Zeta Gundam
[Episodes 1 - 4]Starts off rough. Kamille Bidan (Nobuo Tobita!) is the main character, and he shows newtype potential quite early in the show, but he seems to be from Earth? Kamille hates the TITANS for some reasos. Oh yeah, he is quite a rebellious jerk. Still, it's strange for him to jump out a jeep and to leave home to join AEUG. Or maybe I am not understanding something?
The TITANS are not-so-nice people. In Gundam 00, there are the A-LAWS; an autonomous force, the TITANS committed themselves to oppressing/destroying the Zeon movement, utilizing radical means to do so such as attacking a colony with poison gas. TITANS work for the Federation though; Kamille's parents seem to work for the TITANS, and Kamille criticized his dad about a mistress he's been working with.
The show doesn't start off happy at all like I said. Kamille's attitude and the TITANS's cruel way of getting their way makes the start interesting. OK
