Why the hate for Amazon? Now that Strike is gone and rolled into regular Prime, I think it's great (though difficult to navigate).
It hurts a series' chances at popularity. If you didn't want Prime, anime won't push you to get it.
Especially with the price of Prime going up. Wasn't it increasing to like $110 or so soon?
Hulu's currently growing, is the 'catchup service' for a lot of current shows, and even has a partnership with funimation for same day on subs for a couple bigger shows(mha is a big one), and their Uighur is pretty easy to find stuff in. Then again I just have access to several streaming services due to family(shrugs)
Ok ordered the Tamiya tool kit for nippers and tweasers will be nice too. Only got the revive Gundam coming in right now, but I think I'll do that recommended Char's Zaku next, but I'm keeping myself to build one buy one for the moment
Got sometime to finally take a picture of this...
Ultimate "f it, I'm buying it" purchase.
Wanted it when I saw the image of it years ago in it's first run, then opted out of the reprint and watched it spike in price. Super hard to find here in Japan, but came across it in Akihabara in January, passed on it then as figures are not really my thing/a rabbit hole I want to go down. This time I had bad influences with me and convinced me to YOLO it.
And now to never tell my girlfriend how much this was.

I look at Netflix for its original content, and maybe some CW shows I'm behind on. Anime is tertiary, and Netflix in America typically only adds a show after an entire season is complete . Maybe Ishinomori's new show is trash but I'd never know cause I can't watch it.
Meanwhile, Hulu updates weekly, the way anime is supposed to work. And I guess you're using Hulu's...what, PC player? Never tried it. Works fantastic on PS4, and it's sorting system is exponentially better than Netflix's, which is borderline nonexistent.
Prime's a fucking joke. $120 a year to spend MORE money? No thanks. Prime is the bane of anime weekly viewers.
For weekly stuff, sure. But when tons of Gundam is bi-yearly/semi-yearly OVA releases.... Eh. Netflix is doing that stuff right now with Godzilla.
The GM/GM is fun. It poses like a champ (once you shave down the wrist polycap, but don't let that stop you).
I just want a high quality Katejina figure...Got sometime to finally take a picture of this...

I think she's a great villain and I think her and Uso have one of the most interesting relationships in Gundam. Katejina changed his diapers for crying out loud...you don't get shit like that in a lot of villain rivalries.
I just can't get over paying a premium to still have commercials. I know you can pay even more to not have commercials.
The "Even more" is what everyone else is charging. Which means they're just offering you a cheaper alternative in case you don't mind commercials.
Isn't it like 12 bucks a month? That seems more expensive than the Prime price people are complaining about (though the value for Prime is not, IMHO, in the video offering) and more than all but the top tier of Netflix.
I understand I'm biased, though, because I already have Netflix, Prime (for shipping) and Crunchyroll and I'm not going to pay extra for Hulu. More Gundam in more places is always good, though.
HD Netflix is $11. Amazon Prime's monthly cost went up by $20/yearly last week.
Right. Both are still cheaper than Hulu without commercials, aren't they?
Count me as the second person anywhere ever. I hate her guts. She's a terrible person. But I also love how much I hate her. Her standoff with Uso at the end was one of the hypest moments in Gundam for me.
I have a thing for psycho anime girls so Katejina is definitely up there.
Best Gundam girl is Allenby though.

One of them yes. The fact she survived that fucking show was a god damn miracle
Unless you've become a naked spirit wandering outer space, no need to apply for best girl/guy position.
So only Amuro, Char, Lala and Full Frontal can apply? How many newtype ghosts are wandering the universe? I'm assuming the Zeta waifu's got sucked up by the Zeta Gundam.
For me, the people from Zeta do count. I don't know where you got the idea that Zeta Gundam sucked them up indefinitely. I don't consider them consumables, they just temporarily enhanced Zeta. Even if it were the case, how long you spent wandering outer space as a naked spirit doesn't matter. It doesn't need to be a permanent thing.
Marida therefore also counts.
Regarding the Zeta Gundam using the Newtype waifus as consumables it's honestly just a joke to me...though I hope to god Sara's ghost is floating around the universe with Paptimus-sama for eternity. I guess my favorite Newtype ghosts are Emma and Four.
The Leo is pretty much the plastic army men toys of Gundam Wing.
HG Leo boxart revealed.
Even thought its the same old Leo, this boxart really makes them look over the top as an army build kit.
The only advantage of having a backlog. I don't give a fuck when my model orders arrive. There's always something to build during the weekend.
There's a manga
that seems to be about a guy who is like Full Frontal, but with Paptimus. And he's not fully awakened yet.
This sounds interesting.There's a manga

If you cannot stand leaving nubs, half the build is doing the piping. :D
Honestly, these things feel like when I was younger and built with Legos. I love the process, even if it's tedious.
Oh, no doubt about it. It's just that after finishing my RG Char's Zaku II my thought was "how the hell did I spend such a big part of the build just doing the pipes?" :)
Finally got around to watching Thunderbolt S2, or at least the first 3 episodes and I'm reminded how dark it is. It's actually unsettling to me a lot of the times because of how gruesome the action is, especially every time I see Daryl and I remember what was done to him. It gives me legit shivers because of how messed up it is
That's why its probably my favorite of the franchise. A big part of what I like about Gundam (particularly Universal Century) is it's focus on how there are no "good side" in war, both sides are messed up and cruel, and war as a whole is a giant mess of pain and emotions running wild.
Of course that badass giant mechs don't hurt either haha.
I'm not one to complain about P-Bandai, but it sure would have been nice to have had at least the GM head included in the regular version of the Ground Gundam.
Would have gone a little ways towards differentiating it from the previous HG, at least.

That Zeke suit looks cool, love the color on it. Properly placed warning markings got me too.
That is a really cool set, if too bad it's limited.
