Reading Dedication II + Gundam
Forgot to expand on this last entry.
I must be impatient. I feel like if I read a book, it'll take too much time from the day. That thought also comes from my issue with reading sentences or paragrapghs over and over, and trying to remember what I read. I do remember what I read but it's blurry. I have trouble with names, like the names of authors when pointed out for references. For example, "this [author] is a prime example of fantasy writing". Of course, names like Anne Rice and Tolkien are memorable.
I have four books of interest, all over 100 or 200 pages. Neither are novels. Mostly "ABOUT" type of books.
To work on my memory, summarize
Mobile Suit Gundam (0079). The first first GUNDAM! Episodes 1 through 5.
Just remember what I watched.
Usually I speak about what happens in a single episode but I'm just going to make a outline on what I've seen so far. Everything is just being pulled out of my blurry head now.
So, at the beginning of the episode, we learn a thing or two The year is 0079 UC or Universal Century. That is an epoch after Anno Domini (AD) where humans have moved into Space Colonies that imitate life. Of course there's trouble, there is the Republic of Zeon woh has waged war against Earth (and Earth Federation) for their independence.
So on one of the colonies (Side 7?), we meet this kid named Amuro Ray. He's obsessed over technology, skipping breakfast to work on his computer. A friend of his, girl named Frau Bow, goes to tell Amuro about an evacuation. Earth Federation has been building a special mobile suit on the colony and Zeon mobile units (called Zakus) under the charge of officer Char Aznable were sent for recon, but one of the idiots attacked. Amuro goes to look for his father, who was helping in boarding that one special mobile suit on a ship called the White Base.
During the attack, Frau Bow's grandfather and mother dies. Amuro found a stinkin' manual and managed to activate the special mobile suit: ZA GUNDAM!
So the Zakus have trouble with it because he has some anti-ballistic armor, and the gundam has a cut like a knife through butter BEAM SWORD. Amuro managed to beat the two Zakus. Oh, apparently the Zaku units use nuclear reactors for engines so when its hit, it explodes dramatically and can really cause some damage.
So episode two through five is about Earth Fed/White Base taking the evacuees to Earth and being pursued by Char Aznable and Zeon. Char, who is called the Red Comet, is a persistent fellow. He is also competent, but has been underestimating the gundam.
We are introduced to characters like Hayato Kobayashi, Kai Shiden, and Ryu (who I think will die). The gundam gets a rocket launcher and a beam gun.
And really, Char vs Amuro rivalry heats up really fast!
ACE COMBAT
New Ace Combat. It's called "Assault Horizon"!
