Gundam 00: The Stupid, It Burns

[Ford Prefect]

That was what immediately sprung to mind, yes. The Tieren is the A-10 of mecha.

[Commander 598]

The Tieren is the unholy spawn of a Zaku and some unnamed Battlemech.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that fact.

Regarding how a Tieren can fly despite being one of the most unaerodynamic designs in all the Gundam universes, if you put enough power into it, even a brick can fly.

Yeah, technically that is how Zeon got ANYTHING off the ground back in UC. They may have had some outright weird designs, but they were not lacking in thrust output. Case in point: The two light Dopp fighters that towed the Apsalus into high altitude, the Gaw, and the Zanzibar Class.

Back to AD, the Tieren is what I would expect of a competently designed Battlemech. It weighs over 120 tons and is designed for heavily ballistic weaponry and we all know how nasty autocannons are in Btech. Hrm...what would it be like in Btech terms?

[VF5SS]

Stop talking about fucking Battletech. This isn't some shitty world where machine guns explode with the force of bombs. Something bulky = Battletech *I'm a smarmy asshole*. Gawd. And it was Dodais that towed the Apsalus.

[Sharp-kun]

When they go through the Dark History during Turn A, we see clips from almost all previous AU sources. We see Wing, G Gundam, and Gundam X, and they are specifically said as being during the past. How it works is totally unknown through.

That was Tomino's bullshit idea and attempt to retcon everything including stuff he didn't make.

It doesn't work, as the AU series (regardless of quality) were never written to fit and so contradictions are everywhere.

[VF5SS]

Tomino hates Gundam :3

This latest episode is awesome. Jihad-Kun (Setsunna) has crazy Sarah Conner delusions! And the Chinese have Four Murasame Mk III! And Black Flag is awesome (at least 2x as fast!). Also Setsunna swimming to his Gundam is lol worthy. And I lolled at Ford Prefect comment on Graham. He does have the crazy eyes and he was coming to fuck Exia up the butt.

[Dark Hellion]

I actually like how the U.S. handled the situation, and how the president seemed to be very competent in his understanding of celestial beings actions.

It has some Turn A political elements to it, which was why I liked Turn A so much. What other series features a samurai who pilots giant robots getting politiced into a corner by an early 20th century gay black dude? Answer me that!

Turn A automatically wins for hilarious Loran crossdressing action.

Nevermind that the scenario is much too hard for anyone with critical thinking skills to suspend their disbelief. Example: Nonrenewable resources, why haven't they run out?

And for the last outing of Tomino's old fashioned "kill 'em all" attitude, before he got soft and decided people didn't want to watch "depressing" anime.

Ideon still has the greatest ending of all time.

[VF5SS]

Too bad the Ideon movies kinda suck.

[VF5SS]

NICE SUPPORT!

This show is getting a little silly with loli super soldier girl and Allelujah having a more METAL personality called Hallelujah. And when can I get a toy of LOCKON's giant sniper rifle capable of hitting bits of a colony in orbit? Also Louise's tsundere princess act is pretty silly. This show just keeps getting better and better.

[Ford Prefect]

First things first: Black Flag is the sex. It actually manages to be almost as cool as Sergei's Thunderbolt Tieren, but not quite. I'll not be able to see the next ep till Friday though, but I am looking forward to it.

[VF5SS]

Soma (loli) has a pink Hi-Maneuver Tieren. It's not Char pink, more of a dull pink.

[Ford Prefect]

Oh man, that is so nutty. I almost want Sergei to get himself an awesome colour scheme now.

[VF5SS]

Sergei does not need a color scheme. He just stares at a Tieren and it is instantly imbued with his manliness. Sergei is the kind of man many would want as their father.

[Admiral Valdemar]

Dammit, I need to see the latest episode, but the acquiring of Heroes and Top Gear take priority right now.

[ZShade]

Hallelujah Haptism, huh? This show has all of the bestest names.

Sergei is the kind of man many would want as their father.

For all we know, Sergei is the man whom many have as their father.

Anyway, is it time for a Tieria-centered episode? Can we see why he seems to despise all of his co-workers, and more importantly, if he has any other clothes?

[Icehawk]

Ahh, so Allelujah and Soma were just experiencing an outbreaking of another personality in their minds? It seemed to me like they were trying to show they were having some kind psychic connection of eachothers minds like Newtypes or something like that and it was kind of grating on me the creators would throw something in like that so soon.

[VF5SS]

Hallelujah Haptism, huh? This show has all of the bestest names.

His name is probably Hallelujah Aptism. The "H" just transfers.

If there was ever a man who needed to be on, What not to Wear it's be Vowels-tan.

I bet those pink sweatershirts are SUPER comfy.

He probably knits them himself.

[VF5SS]

Well this show officially has a Jerrid in the form of Patrick. I lolled when he attempted to strafe Virtue and Tieria just said, "please say hello to my cannons" and totally punked him out of the sky. Overall this episode was very talkie. And it appears Felt is this show's technical minded pretty girl. And Billy has betrayed Graham for Sumeragi's breasts. Oh what a plot twist.

[Spanky The Dolphin]

Something that's definitely never happened in Gundam before!

[VF5SS]

There is no love in Gundam! There's only a brief moment of calm before the loved ones get shot in the face.
