Yeah, we're definitely in a similar boat. I watched both seasons of Code Geass when it aired, and while I love the series/story and all the concepts, oddly enough, for a series that has so much mecha, I'm not attached at all to the mechs in the series. I could name you the Lancelot and the Guren, but I wouldn't even be able to really point out the differences between the versions of each. <shrug>
Lancelot, Guren and Shinkiro are the ones that I'm attached to, mostly because they were in multiple SRW games
Am I crazy or did Bandai not show preview pics of the Metal Build Albion too? Not drawings but actual prototype pics.
I agree, very stylized and pointy, I'm interested to see the front of the unit. I'm with you guys, Code Geass is in my top 5 anime of all time, but I think what kills the mecha designs are the wheels on the feet. The only two truly memorable designs are the Guren variants which I think this MB Dragon Scale captures a little bit of all the variants in one, and the Lancelot Albion, and I think I would be in for these two MB's though, as long as they are in the $150 ish range. I would probably also support Colonel Tohdoh's Zangetsu, and 4 Gekka's for the 4 holy swords to squad up with Kiseki no Tohdoh. LOL let's hope not, and hope that Bandai realizes that there isn't a giant market for Code Geass, but we all know Bandai loves to P Bandai Option parts.
I don’t remember a single thing about Code Geass from a story/plot point of view and I’m still going to buy the toy . The only thing that comes to mind when I think of Code Geass is Colors by Flow and to be honest that’s all that really matters in the end because that song is a banger!
Y'all need to revisit Code Geass, both seasons. It's a wild ride and still wins my award for most entertaining anime past and present.
Looks like the picture is a year old. Hopefully there are updates to the design, and Bandai just didn't sit on their Dragon Scale line for a whole year.
The only thing I remember about Code Geass is I really liked it when I watched it back in the day. Have been meaning to rewatch but haven’t had time to watch new things and other things I want to rewatch. I like the designs but I think I’ve come up with enough excuses not to get it.
Code Geass is great. I appreciate the new remix movies and the "sequel" movie. The ova was pretty good, even though I didn't he like the cg mech designs. Also, it had multiple great opening songs, not just colors
Quick question.... Did anyone else order the justice MB from e-knight media? If you did, how was your experience?
