I liked Banana in Unicorn. It wasn't a terribly dumb name.

That said, all I really want is a proper sequel to Unicorn with tie-ins. After Hathaway's Flash trilogy is over... maybe.

I heard somewhere that it's actually an old Irish/Gaelic name, so...

Cucuruz, on the other hand, sounds like the word for 'corn' in my language so I can't help but laugh.

Lol, that artstyle looks like something out of AGE rather than UC.

Not that bad. Decent current era quality at least.

Though I actually half expected some sort of singing idol soldiers.

[Mattias]

Oh, a bunch of Zeons on Earth during the OYW. That whole cast is going to die horribly aren't they?

[Skull]

It only just hit me that they're called the "Noisy Fairy" squad and their biggest enemy appears to be the Gundam Pixy. :O

Though I presume Bork Cry will not be piloting it this time.

[Rue]

From the previews, a definitely stable NotNewtype lady pilot it seems?

Battleogue was a fun set-up episode. Losing the championship has turned him to eeevvvviiiiilll~

By the by, you're half right in that Banagher does come from Irish but it's a place name and not a personal name, meaning "the place of the pointed rocks" if I'm not mistaken.

Ah, I see. Interesting.

Well, an actual place name is still better than a lot of other Gundam names so that's a plus.

[Mattias]

Yeah that's the one I was talking about a while back.

[naschyamamoto]

Dang, that's harsh.

Apropos of nothing, I was re-watching the CGI Openings for the Campaign mode or whatever from Gundam Extreme vs Maxi Boost and I am full of nostalgia - especially for a lot of the (then) more obscure stuff like Hathaway's Flash which served as my introduction to a lot of non-anime stuff. Some of those OPs are really good and convey the awesomeness in around fifteen seconds.

Gundam Breaker Battlogue Episodes 1-2: I expected them to be more like the other shows when it came to length. I really liked that Gundam Barbaric and that Gundam Perfect Strike Freedom and all the battles so far. It looks like the guy that lost in the first episode is behind everything, it will be interesting to see what happens next.

[naschyamamoto]

The show looks good, and the setting is great as well. As a person who played Gundam Breaker Mobile for a time it's neat to be able to see these characters in full motion, but the whole plot about kidnapping Gunpla in-game hasn't sold me yet. My biggest complaint is really just that these episodes are 6 minutes long. I start out skeptical, then the episode begins to catch my interest, but just before I can fully get immersed the ending credits start rolling for the week.

That Battlogue music though

That's the point of Battlogue as early as Build Fighters. Shorts with little plot that are an excuse to animate gunpla fighting

Launch trailer for Code Fairy.

[Mattias]

Yeah, none of those characters are getting out alive. Maybe one, who's in a coma after the final battle and wakes up once the war's over.

Gundam Breaker Battlogue Episode 3: I like how the guy made a plastic model of himself to appear in the game and was able to make his own gunpla from the ones he captured. They managed to avoid getting trapped until now and he's out brought out his gunpla.
