"Saji Crossroad."

"Yep! You remembered my name."

"Who is he?"

"My neighbour! He's called...erm..."

"... >>>>>:| Setsuna F. Seiei."

I forgot how sleek and smooth Exia's movements were. *rewatching parts of S1* I rewatched the 'vs Enact Demo Colors' scene several times just so I could watch Exia retract its GN Sword. *drools*

At first, I was reading a review on MG Exia. XD; Some people noted that while it's very cool and photogenic when it comes to dynamic in-air poses, there're not many action poses you can do with Exia standing on the ground because its ankles and legs are too free-moving. All the free-style poses from this review made me recall how cool Exia was, slicing and dicing its opponents while avoiding enemy fire.

One of my friends remarked, long time ago, that Exia gave off a very 'teenage boy' vibe. :'D Not too surprising since Exia's pilot WAS a teenage boy. And rewatching the Ceylon battle in episode 2, I have to agree - Exia was all "ATTACK FIRST, THINK LATER".

I think I'm going to watch all the battle scenes in the whole series.

Do check out the review by the way. There're some not very flattering, but justified, things that were said about the kit, but it's a generally positive review. Plus the comic at the end is a riot. XD I should look for an equally comprehensive review for PG Astray Red Frame.

Some weeks (?) to go till SE1. \o/

EDIT:
Hey look, it's my journal namesake 8D

EDIT:
I was wondering what exactly was so special about MG Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise. And then I took a closer look and realised that the backpack is actually the giant sword. O__O

I don't know the series. But I kind of want it. *RESISTS THE POISON* ~~If this Gundam gets animated, I AM DEAD FOR SURE.~~

Oh boy I was just watching the Trilobite fight only earlier. ;__; I'd almost forgotten about it aha; it was so awesome!! I loved that Sumeragi took charge again when everyone else was panicking, and the way Arios brought 00 to the surface so that it could attack the battleship, only to be intercepted by Sakigake. *__*

And same. One reason why I'm not completely sold on Quanta having Funnels is because Setsuna's style is more hack and slash melee, and 00 Raiser, for all its beam spams, kept it to an extent, with Transam Raiser. Something about using Funnels to take out the other opponents while the Gundam itself focuses on a small number of enemies doesn't appeal to me as much. Maybe I'm just afraid that Setsuna+Quanta will end up like Kira+Strike Freedom and Michael+Throne Zwei. XD;

Sumeragi is just awesome, simple as that. I loved how she came and said, with that devious smile, "I have an idea kekeke". I think her, Setsuna and Tieria are the real base of the remaining CB crew.

Someone once mentioned that Setsuna could use the funnels (bits? fangs?) the way he used his swords in S1, i.e., instead of lolthrowing them at the enemy, he'd be able to take them back. I'd be fine with them, as long as the design looks cool and they don't do all the job for Setsuna.

Agree!!

Ohh...that's a possibility. Also lmao, that reminded me of the way Setsuna threw his swords at Zwei's Fangs. So much cooler than LOLHUGEBEAMOFDOOM. And more sleek Exia movements, oh myyy. *____* Incidentally,

maple_rose and I once talked about how Setsuna loved throwing his weapons at people and potentially losing them. XD; Setsuna must either go back to retrieve them after battles or CB has a very big inventory of back-up GN Sword IIs.

Hahah, I've always been amazed at the number of spare parts/weapons CB have. Seriously, the Gundams ALWAYS lose or damage something. Imagine Ian's face after the battle in episode 50. And IIRC, they never bothered to retrieve the lost weapons. There's this scene in the beginning where Kyrios throws away its missile containers (I think) and HRL gets them, but they get no valuable info. Not that it matters now anyway, because the ESF already has the Gundam data.

Poor Ian is one very overworked man. He even sounds like one in the dub - he always sounded so pissed, which amused me a little. XD Even if CB is funded by many super-rich people like Wang Ryumin and Alejandro Corner, there's got to be a limit to the amount of money they spend on weapons. *chalks it up to Gundam physics/finances*

Ohh I remember that part. I wonder if Tieria went back to retrieve all of Virtue's armour after his two battles with Nadleeh. xDDD
