Armored core is also among my favorites, the AC design language is so effortlessly iconic.
I've also got a soft spot for fantasy styled mechs like the Guymelefs from The Vision of Escaflowne

Oh, nice catch on the connections there! I've always found it fascinating how often anime and other Japanese media take inspiration from Gnosticism and other weird aspects of Judeo-Christian myth. The Xeno RPGs (Gears/Saga/Blade) are some of my favorites because how much they also play around with these old ideas in a modern way.
Yeah I'm sold on a Calibarn HG kit as soon as they announce it - there's a WFM kit just labeled "New Item B" that they still haven't officially unveiled, so I'm assuming it'll be that.
There was a lot to like in this episode.
Suletta and Guel having their final(?) duel fencing was a great callback to Amuro and Char. I love Guel, but my man is a born loser.
Suletta and Miorine's heart-to-heart was really well done. Both of them are moving out from the shadow of their parents and doing what they want to do, moving forward because it's their choice. It's good stuff. Sad nightgown Miorine was also pathetically cute. I'm going to be so crushed when these two don't get a happy ending.
Calibarn is absolutely fantastic, though all of the permet effects in that battle really struggled with the bitrate of my stream. Love the witch imagery with Calibarn riding in on a giant laser broomstick.
Only a few episodes left, I'm not ready for this show to be over. Really hope we get another season or a sequel series.
Woah, this is great!
Both types of discussion are welcome here - if this ever grows large enough that we need to split the "hardcore" crowd into their own community, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

Bryce, baby girl, my sweet child, I want to give you so much flak for starting with The Origin.
jk it works just fine as a first series - Hope you enjoy!

I've been telling you Gundam was fantastic for a while you nerd.
We're definitely due another job that uses scouting gear at least. I'm guessing the second one will be a caster, though I wouldn't be surprised if we just get one new job per expansion going forward.
I don't think it will happen, but I'd love to see the resources that would go into a second new job get applied to the existing jobs and make each of them feel a bit more unique.
Daily might be a bit much, but I'm looking into a way to set up episode discussion bots for both here and !gundam@possumpat.io. I think two series, one episode a week might be a good starting place?
In the meantime, feel free to run whatever discussion threads you like though!
Media criticism is welcome here, so long as everyone is respectful. Art is inherently subjective - people are going to like different things for different reasons, and it's okay to say you didn't enjoy something.
I'd discourage low effort discussion though. Instead of saying "Voyager sucks" let's try "Voyager didn't work for me because it was too episodic" (not a criticism I personally have, just an example).
I'd suggest reviewing the posting guidelines in the sidebar, and if anyone gets nasty or you see harassment feel free to file a report or shoot me a DM.
ULTRAKILL is the most fun I've had with an oldschool FPS in ages. The difficulty ramps up perfectly, it's super approachable for new players, and the skill ceiling for what you can do when you're good is absolutely insane. The soundtrack is also fire.
Clips like this make me want to do another playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdHVt7cTwXc
Does anyone have some gunpla they've put together recently, or that they're working on?
Here's an old RS-178 MKII PG kit I assembled recently. Still deciding how I want to detail him, but as my first PG the level of detail and articulation is really cool.
Hope you enjoy! There's nothing else quite like it imo. I'd love for a reboot/sequel/spiritual successor someday.
