DALYST

That is his name- Kid!

12 years already? No that can't be right....

I love it so much- it's everything a replica/upgraded Zaku should be!

the Sanae "PS2 and DS are still pretty new..." meme but Gundam "Huh? No, retro Gundams are like Gundam Wing and G Gundam right? Gundam Seed Destiny and Gundam 00 are still pretty new..." absolutely has been done before but it entered my brain and wouldn't leave

🎉🎉🎉 Hope you enjoy!

*Malaysian Fat Liberation Activist i meant to say!

Highlight of my day? Bumping into a Malaysian Liberation Activist I follow on Instagram in Harrow of all places and being able to tell her she's doing a great job ☺️

An unknown white Gundam type mobile suit, with 4 eyes and body based on Iron Blooded Orphans parts.

A white mobile suit?

Finally finished and submitted my GBWC entry for this year, 'Clash at the Castle'!

As it should!

Awesome find! I may need to visit Brighton soon...👀

Watched the first 2 episodes of Turn A Gundam yesterday- very impressed! I love how unique it feels and how fleshed out the world feels already. I look forward to continuing!

Delighted to receive my @puruscounterattack.bsky.social keyring! 😊

This feels very on brand 😆 Although...I may have to give it a go too! 👀

I think if they really want to keep doing Amuro & Char, I think an adaption of Tomino's 0079 novels with the approach that Gquuuuuux took could work- same characters and war, different story with new VAs and character & MS designs that can appeal to new audiences without all the baggage... #Gundam

Hi yes I’d like a model kit of the GQuuuuuuux version of the Psycho Gundam right fucking now please.

Setsuna is one of if not my favourite main character in all of Gundam because of this- it perfectly highlights his growth- he has a fantastic character arc!

Absolutely!

Ikuto Yamashita's Gundam illustration from 1989

Designs from the Evangelion proposal- including an all white Eva Unit 1 with a V fin....

One more thing: check out Gquuuuuux designer Ikuto Yamashita's take on Nu Gundam and Sazabi from 1989, and then check out the concepts for Gquuuuuux- the man has clearly had some thoughts about his version of a Gundam for a long time, and just happened to play with some of them in Evangelion...

If anything, the Eva references and homages in Gquuuuuux are a full circle moment. Rant over!

What people always seen to forget is Evangelion has Gundam in it's DNA (Anno of course worked on Char's Counterattack and heck, Eva unit 1 was originally white in the proposal). If Gquuuuuux proves nothing else it is that the old Eva/ Gainax team are OG Gundam fans, and it shows.

If you replaced all the designs in the show with Okawara ones, i bet there wouldn't be any comparisons made. And before anyone suggests that the Gquuuuuux itself is too Eva like, I would argue that it is far closer to the Unicorn Gundam in usage than Eva Unit 01...

Hot take: I feel like the 'criticisms' that Gquuuux is too similar to Eva are beginning to feel incredibly lazy. Sure, there certainly homages, and the designs have Eva-esque elements, but nothing has happened in Gquuuux that hasn't happened in a previous UC Gundam show before....

Can you guess the next collection? 🤔

I did get worried for a second there!

Tweet by @ _kyou. "Met someone named Camille and when I asked him if he liked Gundam (he’s not into it) he was like “is that why all my Japanese coworkers remember my name fast or ask me if that’s a real name?” Dude you’re literally named Luke Skywalker"

This is so funny

I agree! (I'm also fairly certain I followed you back in the Tumblr days so was glad to find you here!)

The thought '@purufey.bsky.social would enjoy this' did cross my mind during all his scenes in the episode 🤣

Something like that- it was basically a 'What-If'style reimagining of the original 1979 Gundam series' first episode (and explores the subsequent ramifications in that setting). Would definitely be worth watching to get the references, but also on its own merits as a piece of anime history!
