Well that's a good thing as I don't like Banagher much so I'll get some good chuckles wondering at his reaction to the constant wars in the upcoming decades.

[up] Oddly enough this is said to be one of the best Gundam shows but I have seen other Gundam shows & this doesn't compare much. Doesn't give me the same feeling of satisfaction I had like say watching Zeta.

[up]uh.....the post Unicorn UC gundam entries came out YEARS before unicorn did. Gundam F91, and Victory came out in the 90s.

Though there's always room for a future spinoff given how massive UC timeline as a whole istongue

@ Rojixus: I like how Unicorn is good at tackling the issues the Federation and Zeon have with one another, but the thing they're fighting for over this time is pretty flimsy.

@ Beary: Well, he has finally gotten over it now, thank Minovsky.

And of course, we know the fate that awaits at the end of all gundam timelines

What now? Does the Gundam multiverse get eaten by Unicron or something?

@slimcoder Whoever has told you Unicorn is one of the best Gundam series has told a bold-faced lie. It's got pretty visuals and a good soundtrack, but as you surely have seen, that's all it has going for it.

I know all the wars happened in shows that came before Unicorn's existence, I just can't help but chuckle at how doomed by canon prequels are.

[up][up] Indeed its not living up to the hype much.

@ Rynnec: ∀ Gundam is the future of every other Gundam series (barring Build Fighters). The Mustache Turn A's Moonlight Butterfly basically wipes out all technology and forces the reconstruction of civilization, and has been doing so cyclically.

@ Beary: I see someone wasn't paying attention during his front meeting with Banagher. tongue

And yes, Unicorn is indeed heavy on plot, oftentimes to its detriment. (Thank you, Hiimdaisy. [lol])

So, why has this been called Laplace's Box and not, like, Pandora's Box? The whole "this thing represents all the evils of our history, but also contains the potential for hope" would fit very well with a Pandora's Box metaphor.

[up][up] Once you pop, you just don't stop.

[up] It's named for the space colony where the original UC charter that's inside the box was drafted. The "box" part presumably comes from Pandora's box.

I think this is the only time Kakashi ever pulls a Lightning-Style Shadow Clone out of his (supposedly vast) bag of tricks. That's a bit disappointing.

Jesus Christ Choji is such a crybaby.

For Gods sake man your in a fucking warzone carry yourself with at least some shred of dignity, your shaming all the people who died for you.

[up] Basically the word for magic in the Naruto-verse. None of these guys are ninjas.

@ Beary: Spoiler warning: He'll be back.

In the meantime, here's more "Jitensha," because who cares about ninjas dying left and right when you've got Hinata bike riding set to ska?

@ slim: Well, they do do traditional ninja stuff. It's just that it tends to get drowned out by all of the... not-ninja stuff.

[up][up][up]Me Too!.

Yeah, that scene of Choji crying was a bit... much. It feels like it was supposed to be comic relief, but he just learned his dad is still alive; not the best time for jokes. Or Choji is just painfully earnest.

[up][lol]

Goodnight, everybody.
