A thing I did to teach myself Illustrator. I remade the original chart from scratch and translated the names.

From the looks of it, seems that MSD is aiming to integrate the most important Mobile Suit Variations into The Origin's "canon". I wouldn't be surprised if they add the Zaku Marine Type or the Sniper in the future.

Really? Then why isn't it in the fucking logo for the company. Anaheim Journal predates this. It's just Zeonic. Origin animation says "Zeonic". IGLOO says Zeonic. Where do you want me to bite you, you talentless hack of a translator?

MS-03 and MS-04 didn't have proper names in the original, just their model codes.
In fact, MS-03 didn't even exist at all: it was only part of the technical proposal that Dr. Minovsky presented to Gihren. That's why it fits oddly with the rest of the units in the timeline: it was just a futuristic concept of things to come, not a thing that was actually built at that moment in time.

>>16081658
The point of calling it "Zeonic Inc." is to clearly establish it as a semi-independent manufacturing concern, rather than as adjective (eg. "Zeonic Front") or an official arm of the Principality.

Were Yang's tactics really as brilliant as the show said they were? Or were the other characters just written to be stupid?

What we can take away from the whole Kemono Friends affair over the last month, events that transformed fun/comfy vibes into those of despair? Probably thus: Never try to go above your standard and aim for that nice sweet spot of mediocrity. Try to rise above your station and you'll just end up getting cucked out of your creative property/position sooner or later, so what's even the point of working hard?

Mine, who probably bubbled up with as much feelings as Tatsuki did, or more, presses on.

New chapters in a bit with delays for translation. Also, the ComicWalker ripper I use has been acting finicky regarding getting chapters as of late-- maybe it's getting a bit long in the tooth, as it's from around 2014 just after the service launched, and though the overall "skeleton" has stayed intact, the site's changed a bit since then.

It's beautiful. Already the best looking of the Keroro Robo lineage. It does look busier than the previous ones, but in an evolutionary way rather than a complexity for the sake of complexity/"because we can" case. That shield looks like it's begging to be thrown Rygar-style, too.

I wonder who designed this. Katoki again? I'm seeing a tiny bit of design cues from the Keron Armors as well.

With turkey leftovers burrowing deeper into the the back of the fridge, discussion of the Christ/m/as Eve groupwatch.

Last year it started the evening of the 23rd and ran through the 25th early AM. I might trim it to start the morning of the 24th, I dunno.

Probably the same playlist as last year more or less, lots of the ads got taken down so probably new stuff there so if you needed to know the bleeding edge of Japanese fried chicken ads get ready

Gundam Seed?

Daimos didn't try to be subtle with its overarching message, but there was a lot of subtlety in the various relationships between the characters, especially among the antagonists. I think that's pretty much a hallmark of Nagahama's style. He can lay it on kind of thick, but I think that's because he knows a lot of his audience are kids and so he wants to make sure they get it.

That said, I love this show. It's got some solid fight scenes and you do wind up caring about the two mains by the end, if only to see if their story actually has a happy ending. The fact that it's left open to interpretation is both frustrating and a little out of sync with how the rest of the show is so direct, but I have come to appreciate it. There is no easy answer.

Kind of makes you wonder, if the bad guys had bullets that could punch through Daimos' armor so easily, why didn't they use them right from the start? The jobbing in the final corridor never sat well with me after everything we've seen it tank throughout the series. Suddenly normal guns can just tear through the cockpit like that?

I do love how one of the biggest assholes in the series isn't even an alien. General Miwa is such a bastard.

She's trans. Not a trap. Once you've got tits and stuff you're not a trap.

Egon approves .

Let's take a moment to talk about Nanoha.

I just recently completed watching Nanoha and Nanoha A's. I had gone into these shows after finishing a repeat viewing of Imagawa's Tetsujin and I wanted to watch a comfy healing anime that would heal my weakened and shattered heart that had just experienced the sorrows of post war Japan, but instead of healing I found despair.

In this show, a girl receives advanced science gadgets to fight against her enemies, gadgets so advanced they're basically magic, and she beats up everyone and bullies everyone.

At one point, even a handicapped girl is a victim of this show's villainy.

My heart was not healed, nor did I ever feel comfy, and this is all entirely your fault /m/. Over the years you talked about this show and I felt like I was missing out but now that I've completed the second season I can say I liked it.

>>It's a fucking nuke and the explosion engulfs everything

I ain't watched no FSS but it's all the more important to make sure the crater should be where it should be, innit?

Trying to "catch 'em with the splash" is an idiotic thing to rely on especially since they have a shorter distance to the outer region of the blast wave to get the fuck out and away. The splash is to make sure that even if they can run, they'll at least get toasted somewhat so that they'll be reeling from the blow long enough for you to send a second present their way.
>>
>>16085052
the Knight of Gold is super-powered, even within the FSS world.

Ladios was in no real danger; so for you to even perceive that he was really calls into question the rest of your perceptions.

It's like asking "Why does the Unicorn just sit there while everyone shoots at it?"

Answer: The suit is super-powered, in no real danger, and the writers are building a dramatic situation through the tension of a pause in time or waiting period.

>>16085052
>It's a fucking nuke
he literally says prepare the buster canon. Which their enemies were going to fire on them as well. Except they were faster because better tech. It was never meant to be a stressful moment. It was simply showing off the Knight of Gold's prowess.
Also well done judging the "anime" which is literally a promotional movie adapting the prologue of FSS you fucking brainlet.

>A scene clearly meant to wank the KoG
>>oh will our hero survive long enough to unleash this precision strike?
Are you actually retarded in the real sense of the word

The whole scene was made to show how retardedly strong KoG was, jesus christ even if you take the whole scene out of context and show it to someone who doesn't even know what FSS is they'll instantly see that it's meant to hype the KoG and how it doesn't give a single shit about the enemy machine.

>>16085052
The movie had tons of problems but the climax was not one of them. In fact it's pretty much the only time where it captures the feel of the manga. The climax wasn't the big robo battle, it was the reveal that Sopp is literally God, a reveal that had less impact in the film because of poor exposition. All the crap about Juba wanting to keep the Fatimas as sex slave being the main plot of the film was a gross simplification of what was going on in the manga, and so there isn't as much payoff in the ending.
