Oh, I'd certainly agree there. But the Gundams in this series are still [tup]

Well I'm gonna have to wait till next episode then. tongue

Ya know I actually dislike the Unicorn's design. Mostly due the color scheme in its base form cause it has too much white & no other color. At least its Super Mode adds big red Tron lines that make it look better.

[up]Yeah, a lot of UC gundams (not counting gundams in general) have some way to divide up the color scheme in some fashion. As for Unicorn? NOPE, just Red and White everywhere! At least its not this darn thing

I must have not been paying attention, because I'm not actually sure how Riddhe developed this huge hatred for Banagher. Like, this seems way beyond "Mineva likes you instead", and it seems odd for him to suddenly develop all-encompassing racist hatred towards Newtypes, right?

I have a message from another time...

To be fair, the Unicorn's base form is supposed to be unassuming. That and unicorns are commonly depicted as pure white in art.

There are certainly stranger and somewhat underwhelming designs out there, like (IMO) the Mustache.

[up][up] Oh Lord, I had forgotten about those. And now I'm reminded of those custom Wing designs like Crazy Beast and Super-Armed Tank.

[up] Not really. He's just trying to rationalize things, like his family name and their worth, to basically get over Audrey not going with him.

HERE COMES THE PAIN

At least the Nether Gundam looks funny and makes sense for wacky G Gundam

The Nadleeh gundam really has no excuse besides trying to look beautiful I guess.

@ Alpha: I know. But still, the Mustache. tongue

Bruh, the Nadleeh's luscious locks are fabulous.

But seriously, I always assumed the duality of Tieria's Gundams were meant to reflect on his status as an Innovator (the group, not the "race" of evolved humans), given how most of them are androgynous as all get out.

@ Enlong: G Gundam exists in its own mecha design limbo where the ingrained National Stereotypes for certain Gundams (like the Tequila Gundam) fly straight into So Bad, It's Good territory.

"The Akatsuki. They've finally come."

Nope, just Pain, though it is six different people operating under that name.

But here's some more Bike-Riding Hinata! grin

It is the leader of the Akatuski though.

An organization famed for having very few members that posses high-quality ninja skills to take on entire armies.

Pain is a one-squadron-armada.

I am truly shocked to my very core, I actually liked tonight's episode of Naruto more than tonight's Samurai Jack. I just...wow.

[up] The best part is that, for at least the next 10-15 episodes, Naruto is actually on the rise. A certain QUALITY fight notwithstanding.

[up][up][up] G'night Beary. [tup]

The Pain arc is considered the absolute high-point of Naruto before it all goes to shit literally afterwards cause of Sasuke.

Sad how things went.

[up] Also sad they can't remake that particular piece of the arc.

Yeah, that frequently gets thrown around a lot, and although I do genuinely like a good deal of what comes after, the claim isn't entirely without merit.

Well it doesn't go to absolute shit immediately but the quality slowly bogs down towards the end.

Yeah, I won't argue with you there. The execution of certain plot elements could've been handled better (for example, Kaguya, who is a character I actually liked the concept of) and there were too many Shocking Swerves for the final arc's own good. Still, Naruto does have its moments following Pain's Invasion.

Yeah it does like the Kage Summit Arc where Sasuke bombs an assassination attempt & just gets his ass kicked by all the Kage though Tobi did ruin his element of surprise.
