Those shoulders put the Varia Suit to shame. Why does that mobile suit have such a design? Is it transformable?

No, it just has a hell of a lot of thrusters.

It’s a grade-up version of the first mobile suit that utilizes psycommu control and weaponry.

It’s also piloted by a loli.

My newly assembled but yet uncolored HG and MG Qubeley Mk2s.

After getting the bills paid, bought an HG and MG gunpla kit of the Qubeley Mk2 (Elpeo Ple Use) in my local hobby shop.

Assembled them both in one sitting upon getting home.

Pic will be upped in the Otaku Purchase Thread.

True, but Tomino is too sadistic, even Judau who is from a mostly comedic series ends up foreveralone as shown in Crossbone. Killing Amuro in three ways was probably not enough for him.
I think the only couple in UC you get the feel they lived happily ever after is Berah/Cecily and Seabook/Kincaido. =/

That reminds me, I still need to see F91 and Crossbone.

Started a doujin ero-RPG called Dragon Prison.

There's not really much of a story since it's all service, but it's refreshing to see an RPG with explicit stuff that isn't snuffed by CERO.

i know who is and wat he does

I know, that was directed at the post with the “left eyebrow says anger” remark.

Try looking him up on Youtube then.

He’s just some funky tennis dude who makes his living out of being a goofy guy who also happens to have a lot of spirit.

Don't worry, Turn A is sorta light hearted for the most part. Albeit it does bring some mindfucks.

That much I can handle.

Will be watching a few more later after my errand run.

Isn’t that a bit misleading?

After all, that Shuzo face isn’t so much angry as it is pumped.

Turn A's designer is Syd Mead(Blade Runner, Aliens, Tron).

Turn A will grow on you, many people finish the series loving it.

I've already come to love the little steam-powered town where people only know of mechs from a historical archive and have a coming-of-age ritual where leeches are put on a girl's back to mark her imminent adulthood.

Loran is also quite likeable as a main character.

I'm just hoping that this isn't part of the "kill-em-all" series like the train wreck that was V Gundam.

I would like to see a cameo from one of the previous gundam pilots before Unicorn is over. Either Kamille or Judau. Probably won't happen though.

Same. I'm not crossing my fingers though.

Decided to move my figure collection around after my tutorial sessions were done to change the scenery a bit.

I'm going out in a little while to pay the bills, then shop around for both essentials and non-essentials.

Oh, and naked Puru 2 for your viewing pleasure.

Elpeo Ple and Ple Two were my faves. I have 2 mini-figs of Elpeo and SD gunplas of the two Quebeley Mk2s.

Found a fun little fan image which raises the question: What if Marida (as Ple Twelve) actually ran into Judau years ago?

[b]Marida:[/b] [i]"Judau, hurry up and come for me!"[/i]
[b]Judau:[/b] [i]" Sorry to have kept you waiting, Ple…"[/i]
[b]Banagher:[/b] [i]"Marida's quite the romanticist herself…"[/i]

On topic, watched a few episodes of Turn A Gundam. The mech designs aren't particularly impressive, but the story and setting totally caught my attention.

Why is that so bad? I take it you didn't care for Arfoire's and Nisa's name changes, either?

I have no respect for a localization outfit who treats their fanbase like moronic sheep. I usually reserve that degree of contempt for Atlus USA, but NISA kinda ruined it for me back in Mk2.

Arfoire I understand, not many Westerners know the term "Magicom" anyway (though in the first Neptune artbook, the name change affected one of the 4-panel gags, and a handful of people might've been left wondering what "Magiquone" was). Ditto with NISA, it's a company avatar.

But [b]PIRACHU[/b]? They might as well have named him "Electric Mouse" or "Dirty Rat".

I play both sides of the fence, so I'm critical about these kinds of changes. I appreciate the option of dual language audio (something Atlus USA has never done even in the era of BD), but this practice irks me.

Keeping Warechu intact would've still made sense since it can be read like [i]"Warez"[/i] which is also loosely used in the software piracy world.

Instead, they took the 'tard route and pirated a Pokeymon name.

Pikachu + Pirate = Pirachu.

Gag.

The gundam dubs are generally good. Unicorn is no exception.

I'm not a fan regardless.

Western VAs are not intense enough for my tastes.

Got an invite to a free screening of Gundam UC. I’ve seen all the episodes from home already, but what the heck… it’ll give me an excuse to go out.

But I’m leaving immediately if they use the dubbed version.

Picked up Busou Shinki Mk2 again.

I just want to tie up loose ends and get everyone to Love 30+ before I resume Papakiki Portable.

Prolly cus she is 400+ years old lol, age matters.

Not that Ishihara nor Agnes would care, she still looks loli.

But I digress.

Saw Gundam UC 5 last night.

I want a Robot Damashi version of Banshee to come out nao.

Yay, Warechu’s gonna show!

Too bad NISA will likely call him Pirachu again.

They can show loli vampire ass, but not loli snail pantsu?

I still think we got shafted.

Also preordered the Limited Pack Strike Witches PSP game. Looking forward to getting it and the Lynette Bishop swimwear nendo around late June.
