Only know a little about Gundam (seen the first series only, really) but I find this ending theme to be one of the most beautiful anime songs I've heard:

Anyone know any good "kitbashes"? Basically, when someone takes spare parts or otherwise mixes a bunch of kits to make something new, or just perfect an existing kit. I have seen some pretty neat examples, but I am sure I am missing out on ones.

So the Stardust OVA is not very good? I know one of the people that worked on it also did SPT Lazyner, which is a pretty awesome show. Good start, good music, some decent fight scenes, one of the best Mobile Armor designs in Gundam, a very interesting antagonist *IF you find and read the side material* surround by one of the biggest collections of annoying, terrible, and stupid characters in a Gundam cast. The quality of the show drops like a rock the second they get to Space.

What brand of annoying are we talking?

Okay theirs a scene where Nina Purpleton has to give some data to Kou to make the GP-01 useful in space fights, but they got into a argument with each other about which ones method would be better, and instead of taking the data he heads out into combat against five enemy aces who proceed to push his shit in because HE'S NEVER FOUGHT IN SPACE AND HIS GUNDAM ISN'T READY FOR SPACE COMBAT YET! Seriously just tons of stupid for plot sake, and oh god the Kelly Layzner arc, if it wasn't for the Val Varo I'd hate it so much if I was to explode it would make the colony drop look like nothing. And the show has one of the worse endings in Gundam history, it's one thing we Gundam fans can actually agree about.
One other thing that bugs me is Lady Cima, she could have been a great antagonist if her history before she became a space pirate was explored IN SHOW but you only find everything out if you find some rare books and Drama CDs.

Wait, there is seriously a character with the last name Layzner? Hehe.
As I mentioned earlier, one of the crew of Stardust worked on SPT Layzner. I would imagine it is not just a coincidence.

Endless Waltz's Gundam designs are spectacular. Gundam Wing was my favorite series for the longest time (I'm a Mecha mark) though recently the EVA movies and Gurren Lagaan have climbed over it just a bit.

They are good designs, but I don't really dig the double-beam scythe as much as the single. I wish they just combined into one bigger beam blade or something, it'd look better. If Duo wanted to divide it, he could still do that, but yeah. it just kind of looks odd to me with them both in the same direction, but separate.

Deathscythe Hell Custom from Endless Waltz had only one blade. You're talking about Deathscythe Hell from the show.

I thought that was also pretty cool, though yeah, the EW one overall looks cooler. Well, that and the loss of the Buster Shield sucks.

I actually prefer deathscythe hell over DH custom , can' specify why but something about it having to be a stealth gundam and having giant bat wings just kind of makes it all excessive lol.
Anyways tallgeese 3 has my fav design from endless waltz.

I think the ribs are still there, just less defined because they're painted dark gray instead of white.
Tallgeese III is bad ass, a team staple when I play SRW Alpha Gaiden.

I love Super Robot Wars, unfortunately I can't pay attention to them unless they're translated. I've only gotten to play four or five of them because of it.

I played SRWJ for a bit, but it took too long to get a Gundam and I didn't really recognize anything else besides Mazinger and Full Metal Panic
