Mobile Suit Gundam

WE ARE ALL DOOMED

I have a love hate relationship with Gundam movies. I love that they exist and that they've given us some iconic moments, but I hate how rushed they feel most of the time. Seed Freedom is no exception.

If you hated Seed/Destiny, I don't see this movie changing any minds. But if you enjoyed that universe, it's worth seeing IMO. It's quite possibly the most Seed thing ever. I give it 4 V-fins.

Posting this as I was prompted by a memory in [email protected] . 08th Team is one of my favorite Gundam shows, and Nightwish is one of my favorite bands. I think the editing here is top notch.

Hard to believe this came out ~20 years ago. Rubyeye, if you're still out there, cheers.

On a related note, I have successfully gotten my nephew into Gundam... but his 14 year old Transformers-obsessed brain simply refuses to accept that Optimus would get urfed by even a GM beam spray pistol, let alone a newtype snipe.

Nothing terribly exciting this week IMO. I like the color scheme of the First Lot RG Nu. Probably not enough to buy it though.

Heavy spoilers for Gundam X, plus a long-ish in-video ad for some licensed Gundam Seed gear. I wasn't expecting too much out of this but Kakarot's humor carried it for me. RIP Unit 3.
