re: comm mecha poll

Reuploaded from the links on the post, but
OH MY GOD +_+

THERE'S EVEN A TINY SORAN IN THE 00 ONE. XDDDD These are amazing pics holy shoot. I love these sort of dioramas and displays, and sadly I never really know where to look so I've never seen a lot of them. ;_; Speaking of displays, this remains one of the most visually stunning ones I've managed to see. *___*"; Now if someone could do the same for Wing Zero...

Oh, more displays! Shouldn't be hard to guess which display I like the most. XDDDD The Regnant claw is a nice addition, and holy shoot details. X_X ♥ Overflag booster is awesome too.

Anyway, POLL. I'm...pretty surprised by how popular Exia is to be honest. o_o I thought that Dynames would be more popular. I knew Flag was going to receive a lot of votes, given that it's one of the more popular suits in the show. XD Same for Masurao and Susanowo. What I didn't expect was Gaddessa's popularity. :O I'm not too fond of Gaddessa's design, but I don't really have the place to say anything because I am a Regnant fan despite its...interesting design. XD

This icon made me LOL though. Innovades have awesome escape skills. o_o I remember Revive's brief flashback from episode 21 and how 00 Raiser was like LOLSHOOT AND OHKO and Hiling and Revive managed to escape anyway. XD"; W00t for enhanced QBWs??

I love how there's a number of people who adore the Doublelujah vs Hiling battle. HELL YEAH I was cheering so hard while watching it. xD It's one of my favourite scenes too, though it's too short. ;___; Same for Regnant vs Drei - I know there're Nena fans watching the comm so I didn't dare voice it out there huhu. Really short, but for some reason I LOVE the way Regnant's piercing Fangs just tore off Drei's limbs so easily. ._o I'm weird.

I know I was going to say a lot more, but I forgot. OTL So I'll just end this here ahaha.

EDIT:
Break Pillar Incident
FFFFFF HOW CAN I HAVE FORGOTTEN. I love watching Break Pillar, even though the later parts of the episode was really heartbreaking. ;_; It's awesome to see ALL the suits working together - Katharon's Enacts, Flags and Tierens, ESF's GN-X III, A-Laws' GN-X III and Aheads, CB's Gundams and support mechs. Awesome stuff. ;_;

Nadleeh's Trial System
gjdslkh this was cool too. *_* Now I want to rewatch the episode.

EDIT:
Someone actually brought pizza into the lecture hall during last night's lesson and ate it in front of me during the break. OTL So now I sort of want pizza, but I'm also sort of "not sure if want" in regards to Pizza Hut right now because I'm sort of sick from it after eating it some time back.

So now I'll just eat those mini choc cakes in the kitchen. B| And I just ate dinner ahaha.

EDIT:
NNNNNGH School tomorrow. ;____; NOOOOO.

...oh, MG Exia is released next Thursday. There's less than a week left! Damn, time passes fast. x_X Very soon, I'll need to think about writing my own company law notes too.

I don't really like people eating in front of me when I have nothing, but eh what can you do. I've brought pizza into class, but it was a small one.

The person brought in a medium-sized one. ;_; And shared it with her friends. And I was all ENVY.

I WISH I HAD FRIENDS IRL

I have like, 2

I know, those models are just.. mindblowing O__o ... my fave would be the Cherudim one actually, 'cause they actually melted bullet-holes into the Gundam >__< and yeah the little Soran with 00 was awesome too (though the 00 could use more colours for the flowers instead of just the green, to be nitpicky)

There's also the Seraphim (http://board.sweetnote.com/gundam002nd/image/20090425105227671850) and 0-Raiser (http://board.sweetnote.com/gundam002nd/image/20090308235044269437) (I love how the circuitry is all exposed, and must've taken a lot of glue to get it to balance like that XD Though I wish it had the mountain background...)

and OMG that Freedom display is awesome!!

I dunno what my fave fight is.. I kinda like Dynames vs Flag (both fights), just because of the quotes that spewed out (like Lockon's "You made me use a sword!"), and because of the Flag-love-tackle XDD. But yeah, the break pillar incident was really moving, to see how everyone worked together ^^

The most ridiculous fight though, goes to Devine. "I will take revenge for-- gaahhh *kaboom*

Yeah, Cherudim's impressed me the most, because of the bullet holes. O_O"; Agree about the 00 flowers though. |D Plus colours would have made for a bigger visual impact.

Also, ffff O Raiser ;___; Seraphim's pretty maimed too, what with all the melting effects. x_x The modelers must have loads of dedication and a very high threshold for heartache to do this to their kits. |D";

XDDD I WANT TO EMBRACE YOU GUNDAM!!! Oh Graham ♥ Which reminds me that the entire episode 15 of Season 1 was pretty crazy. It's kind of heartwrenching to see the Meisters so exhausted and getting pummelled left and right. ;.;

Lmao poor Devine. |D"; No escape pod for him. 9___9

Yeah, I don't think I'd ever have the heart to do those things to my kits... although I suppose it does look kinda fun, says the sadistic side of me ^^;;

I think that ep is the turning point for me. Before, I was more sympathizing with the 3 power blocs, 'cause they got beaten up by the Gundams so easily and badly. In fact, I was kinda cheering for them as they finally turned the tides around and tried to capture the Gundams (like how Sergei's operation almost captured Kyrios). But then you see the Meisters being so exhausted and fighting against like a 100 enemies each, I started cheering for them.. I guess I like cheering for the underdogs? XD

Haha, Bring didn't get an escape pod either XD they must not like the red-haired ones. Or they're just disposable, like the BringVine army.

YAY wrecking things. XDD I think I'll be crying if I had to watch someone do these things to their gunpla though. :x

XDDDD True! The power blocs were really cool in the episode, and I felt pretty frustrated for them too when the Thrones appeared and screwed up their plans. |D";

Lol the BringVine army XDDDD When I first saw it, I was like WTF o_O And it spawned a lot of funny parodies (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y66/fu_tari/3432764.jpg). XD

ffffffff that picture XDD thumbs-up for the artist though, who has the patience to draw all those Grahams, I mean Bushidos, with different expressions =D But yeah, I remember many shoops came out of that screenshot, including an army of Setsunas =D

I don't think I've seen the Setsuna one. ;_; I've seen the Patrick + KATIS one though. XDD

And yep, I love how the artist had to draw all the Bushidos in different positions and expressions and everything XDDDD It's so funny.

SHOOT I FORGOT ABOUT LOUISE VS NENA SFHLSDHFDS I wanted to write that, then remembered the Break Pillar and that scene totally escaped my mind. Ugh. AND ONE SECOND LYLE TRANS-AM DAMN IT.

Tbh, I totally expected Exia to get the most votes. I kind of like it, but, surprisingly, I'm not a big fan. But I really love the AD mechs. Although some are inspired from older series, they bring something new every time and they all manage to look menacing, no matter the affiliation. (that scene when Regnant reveals its MS mode? Still sends shivers down my spine) I guess the director plays a big part here too, bringing those neat effects like sounds or the way the eyes glow, but also creating the human-MS duality, like Setsuna's mechs getting (conveniently) powered when he's got stronger feelings, Sergei's Taozi pushing Andrei's GN-X to save him from the explosion, Exia reaching its hand towards Drei at the same time with Setsuna, etc. It's this atmosphere he creates, making the mechs both dangerous deadly machines, but also human.

And I want someone to reenact the Louise vs. Nena scene. Imagine how awesome a diorama like that would look.

Yeah there're a LOT of scenes which I forgot. T_T And every time I read someone's reply, I was like "SHOOT THAT WAS COOL HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN NNNGH"

I agree with you on the human-MS duality. *_* I also remember reading in a Chinese fan forum about how the Gundams from S2 look as though they have actual human-like eyes, and from that day on every time I looked at closeups of the Gundam, I see the eyes with the 'pupils' and everything, which gave them a very...human look. Like that scene where Setsuna confronted Ribbons in the first few minutes of episode 25 ["You saved me and guided me" etc], and 00 looked particularly less like a mech and more like a real person. I don't really know how to describe it. xD";

DO WANT!! Don't know if the 1/144 scale is similar in size to the Robot Damashi line, but I wonder if anyone would want to sacrifice their RD Drei for a diorama like that... xD

IIRC, the human eyes are in S1 too, but they aren't the focus as much as in S2. But they're a really nice touch. Oh god yes! Also, the last fight was crazy! Homages aside, I loved the mech kung-fu and boxing and, in the end, after stabbing each other, 0 and Exia look like they're leaning against one another. Idk, that looked pretty...uh, close? I mean, it was like two old friends who had a huuuuge fight but in the end know they can rely on each other. I personally love it when mechs "act" more human-like. For example, in the UC series, especially in Zeta, the MS used to touch each other's shoulders when they were talking. I thought this was a nice touch from the director, but then I found out the touching was actually used for communication and was pretty disappointed, heh.

The 1/144 is a little bigger than the RD line. Also, do the Thornes have RD? I only know of the MSIA figures. Which are about the same height with the RD, so yeah.
