Naomi Shindou reprised her role as Cagalli in DW:G Reborn. Off-Topic, do you think Gundam Seed Destiny is the franchise's equivalent of Evangelion? The first Gundam SEED maybe. I'd say the second is kinda like Death, Rebirth and a little bit of End of Eva.

I'd say the second is kinda like Death, Rebirth and a little bit of End of Eva. Naomi reprised Cagalli in all the Seed and GSD missions. As for the comparisons with Eva, here's what I found: - Shinn: A composite of Shinji and Asuka, having the latter's brashness and the former's angstiness; I'd say that Shinn is more similar to Asuka. Also, look at his name.
- Rey: A gender-flipped, blonde-haired Rei
- Durandal: Gendo
- Talia: Yui(?)

Realllllly looking forward to Gundam Build Fighters Season 2, the first was one of my absolute favorite Gundam series.
Also optimistic about Riconguista, sort of looks like 00 meets Turn A.

A lot of the designs of season 2, as well as ones for Riconguista, are already out on the Gundam Guy blog as well as other places, so there's that.

Not Gundam related, but Mitsuo Fukuda, director of Seed and Seed Destiny, will serve as creative producer for Sunrise's upcoming anime, Cross Ange:
Note the references to the Freedom Gundam.

I ordered 2 15-piece packs of the Gundam Neo Collection miniatures. For their price, if you don't pay too much, they're really damn good and pretty detailed things, painted decently, with only minor assembly needed. It makes me want to collect more and maybe figure out a way to wargame with them.
How do you folks feel about Riconguista and Build Fighters season 2 designs shown already? Really liking the aesthetic of both, with the Grimoire, Gundam Arcane, and Build Burning Gundam(which is much more like the Impulse, despite its name, so probably expect a new model of that) being favorites so far.

Part of me wants to say this looks really cool, but the other part of me thinks it's gratuitous and ridiculous(in a bad way). Not sure which side to listen to.

Yeah, I like some of the aesthetics, but I also have trouble forgetting that the biggest weakness of SEED and Destiny was the director.

Ehhhh... no. I mean, it looks very cool, but it also has the potential to be, you know, full of pointless fanservice and mind-numbing angles. And Fukoda is always an X-factor, because he has a tendency to piss off just about everybody he works with in some fashion. I'll be sticking to my regular Gundam, thank you very much.

Whenever I see new stuff, like this, now, I inevitably think "wonder if it will be in a SRW game."

Setsuna was almost literally Jesus, but man, I hated Destiny Kira. Not as much as Weeping Cagalli or "I forgot literally all of my character development from SEED" Athrun, but still.

So... having watched the first 2 episodes of Reconguista... Tomino... please get on the meds again. Explain stuff. Give us backstory. Give us something that resembles pacing. Give us redundant female cheerleaders that are NOT irritating as all hell. I mean, I'm still interested in the series, but my God do you need to dig deep in it to find consistency of some sort.
Also, is it supposed to be after UC but before Turn A or is it after Turn A? Cause I kinda want this to degenerate into the war that led to the creation of Turn A and Turn X and the destruction of the world as we know it. We even have a dark skinned character like Loran! ONE OF THE COUNTRIES IS CALLED AMERIA FOR CHRIST'S SAKE~! Even that museum on the 2nd episode with the "classical models"? Yeah, totally a mountain cycle.

Yeah, Destiny Kira sucked, especially since they decided to forget about Shinn being the main character and just turn him into an asshole. Why? "I dunno." being the Fukoda reply. But, to me, my least favorite was Setsuna. The man literally became an actual messiah, for God's sake! That was one of the top reasons that didn't involve Nena why I hated the second season & the movie of 00. But, as discussed earlier, the Internet is cool with it because Setsuna liked to kill people.
