Yeah. But my handwriting being as terrible as it is, there's nothing really to look at besides scribbles even I can barely make out.

300 post already in this thread.
God bless Gundam!

@Zero
Eh, that's nothing.
You should find someone to draw them for you.
Your schematics are very through...
They should make great illustrations.

Now, about the Godzilla-styled Gundam movie...
What say you people?

Personally would love to see one.

I was pratically raised on Godzilla movies, so I would love to see one of those, provided the writing holds up to snub. Which isn't out of the question, but isn't exactly guaranteed either.

So was I.
Hell, mother gets misty eyed when Mothra is mentioned.
The single Mothra movie, not Godzilla vs. Mothra.
Nevertheless, it would great to have that.
If only people would start a petition.

The premise can lead to greatness or utter crap.
The Godzilla movies have a special brand of storytelling...
Zany and unique.

Has anyone read the Gundam manga?
Obviously I'm guessing here since I don't know if it exists or not...

A manga would be nice.

Actually, there's quite a few Gundam manga out there...it's become quite a haven for side-stories (Wing got an arseload of 'em, including one which really raised some Hell for the fans since it actually had Heero & Relena kiss.)

The full list currently in the US:
Gundam 0079 (a retelling of the original...not too shabby, but the artist's character design leaves much to be desired)
Gundam: The Origin (A better revisiting of the original storyline, with several unique changes...currently being released into the US, quite good from what I've been able to find)
Gundam: Blue Destiny (UC sidestory...worth a read, and, as a plus, only one vol so it's easy enough to hunt down.)

Mobile Fighter G Gundam (Even as someone who liked the show, gonna recommend avoiding the manga for it...very choppy, very badly condensed... ...it also doesn't help that Tokita, while a good artist, tends to let his character biases get the better of him.)

Gundam Wing (similar case to the G Gundam manga)
Endless Waltz (Same case as before...this time though, can't say as to quality...haven't checked this one out yet)
G-Unit (released in the US as 'The Last Outpost') (Probably the best of the Wing side-stories...fully original cast and MS)
Gundam Wing: Episode Zero (prequel to Wing, setting up all the cast)
Gundam Wing: Ground Zero (Side-story...it's...eh...)
Gundam Wing: Blind Target (Another side-story...by this point, it's normal to think Bandai was seriously riding the franchise while they could.)
Gundam Wing: Battlefield of the Pacifists (Last one...I swear)

Gundam SEED (Another adaptation manga...so far so good...but Jesus tap-dancing-on-a-burning-bag-of-dog-crap Christ, they drew those kids effeminately...it's unnerving at times)
Gundam SEED Astray (One of the best side-stories alongside Blue Destiny and G-Unit IMO)

That's all that's out in the US ATM...there are others that remain unlicensed (some of which have made it into scanlation, but I get the feeling I can't link here...pester--er PM me if you're interested.)
But hopefully we can see them at some point

*Hoping F91's release will open the gates for Crossbone Gundam getting a US run*

to u godzilla lovers out there, i beg the question: Which godzilla is better? classic godzilla or the american godzilla who has an eating disorder?

ps Deathscythe kicks all gundam's butts

@Heero
Must say I do love how you're always so through...
When providing information, of course.
Indeed, must remember to pester you someday in the near future.
~~~
@hobogenesis

How dare ye!
To even suggest that banality of a production is a Godzilla movie.
Preposterous.

Godzilla movies are Godzilla movies, unique.
That Hollywood creation has no bearing whatsoever.

The Godzilla movie reference was just a topic for conversation...
Not the whole goddamned thread.
This is for Gundam, please refrain from off-topicness.

The G Gundam manga not good?
That's not nice, I like G Gundam.

There is one thing I really liked about the Gundam Wing manga, specificly the end.

Spoiler wrote:Libra isn't dropped on Earth by Zechs ala Char Aznable style.

It seemed that it was so much better that way.

Good to know, seems better. I know this is asking for another spoiler but...
