    She won't bite but you should see the shock in her face from that statement. MS-X04-F2 is getting closer to the release of her newest model after its nine month production window.

    Don't know what its frame type is going to be but I know it's color is most likely a gold injection type.

    However, MS-X54-F2 Nemo started the Doom music.

    What can I say, my Feddie models are personable.

    That's an automatic Nope. It's like asking if the hardcover editions of "Berserk" are going to include "God of the Abyss Part II."

    Nope. There's an unwritten rule that anime characters in Netflix live action adaptations be played by.. only one man.

    I mean with the advancement in de-aging CGI, he's right for the role.

    I will never apologize!!!! Willem Dafoe is Amuro Ray in my head canon!

    The 00 dub kinda bugged me, because while well-acted, they essentially just copy-pasted a lot of the cast roles from the SEED dub, which was incredibly distracting.

    I still can't get over how the single worst animated episode of the original series is getting this elaborate remake.

    TBF, while it can't be denied the episode from a production POV was all over the place, the actual core story idea of the episode where the focus was on humanizing a former Zeon Zaku pilot and his decision to leave the war behind to protect the kids whose parents died because of his action was pretty good. Not to mention, that episode didn't really look much worse than plenty of other TV anime episodes from that period of time.

    It's kinda hilarious in hindsight that Mr. Yoshikazu Yasuhiko now got the chance to revisit Cucuruz Doan's Island more than 40 years later, despite how that episode turns out production-wise was one of his greatest regrets in his career. But maybe, this could be an opportunity where he can finally make things right? Who knows?

    I can't wait for the movie to come out because as flawed the episode was, the premise of the episode has a decent core that could make for a good story.

    Oh, yeah, I'm aware, it's just the derpy Zaku II is extremely infamous and they took great pains to make sure the thing still looks derpy as hell even with an animation upgrade. That kind of dedication to doing the episode justice while still keeping the single dumbest thing about it with that Zaku's droopy nose, as opposed to just doing what was intended originally and have it be a normal Zaku II, is amazing.

    My main hope for the movie, especially if this really is Furuya Toru's final time reprising his role as Amuro, is that they make sense of Amuro's kind of WTF decision at the end of the original episode where he suggests to "get rid of the scent of war" and fuckin yeet Doan's Zaku into the ocean, now leaving him and his people defenseless against any possible other Zeon troops hunting him down for deserting. If the movie can twist or change that into a convincing notion, the thematic sentiment might be a nice sendoff for Furuya.

    I know you specified "worst animated" but I'd say the worst episode of the OG series was the one that came immediately after(I think - maybe before). The whole plot was just "some Zeon dudes on speederbikes put bombs on the Gundam and Amuro takes them off and then the Zeon dudes say hi to him."

    I was today days old when I found out that not only is the trailer piece not Hiroyuki Sawano, but it's in fact a pre-existing piece, titled Last Breath, composed by J.T. Petersen back in 2019:



    So that raises the question again on who will actually be composing for the series.
