The Gundam Thread

up on Steam
 
Marketing for Hathaway 2 is now treating the film's contents as open knowledge, despite the fact we're not getting it until September. And that's assuming it isn't another time an AL Gundam release keeps getting pushed back.

Given to my knowledge no one in Europe has it yet, what a massive fumble from Bandai Namco. To go from parity with the last 2 major Gundam theatricals to leaving us out in the cold with this. They literally haven't shut up about Americans getting it for months.
 
As Tominio told Fukuda back in the 2000s: “don’t trust Bandai!” He meant that form a production but on the consumer level it's still very applicable. Their own worse enemy when it comes to handling their own successful and highly demanded products.

This really looks like "This is what we think westerners want"...

It looks okay. There's a lot of arguments about what makes a Gundam show aesthetically count as a Gundam show. Rouge Orbit somehow crystallised my own person rule is 'there are big robots and it looks like there could be a romance somewhere'. Which isn't suitable for an academic definition, but I do think it helps me understand why I like this franchise.
