@Razorwing: How can there be a second season? I hope not to be honest. I read that others found it rushed as well but it was to be expected IMO.

I hope that they're going to work on either a new series with less childish characters and more details in everything or work on Gundam: The Origin. If you compare old Gundam series to Gundam AGE you'll see that they dumped everything down which is a shame to be honest. I hope that the next series will be a bit more mature like the UC series.

I think 00's one of the few that were really on point. What they really need to do is bring out an English version of ZZ Gundam. :)

What do you mean with on point? ZZ is an alright series but don't expect it to be of the same quality as Zeta Gundam. Which might as well be the reason why there's not an English version of it. The Japanese version is great on it's own anyways.

True, though the 1st season was probably still the best though the art and whatnot in the 2nd season was way better than in the 1st season. Nothing beats Zeta Gundam in my book though :p It's a proper Gundam series with great character development, great/strong characters, great art, great animation, great fights. And the most important of all; a great story.

I definitely feel you there. :D I plan on watching Zeta all over again. I'm in love with the intro song. :)

^The whole OST is pretty awesome. If you want to rewatch it, and haven't seen it, you might want to rewatch it be watching "A New Translation". It has a alternative ending which made fans more happy about the series. There are also other things that they've altered and added. And the new scenes that they've added are gorgeous and I really hope it's the style that they'll be using for Gundam: The Origin. It's kind of the same style as Gundam Unicorn, but not exactly the same. It still has that "Zeta" feel to it.

"A New Translation" also comes with new OP and ED songs which all fit the titles of the 3 movies.

I heard about the alternation since I watched Zeta on the Anime channel. I didn't actually know about the movies unless mentioned in the list of Gundam series on Wiki. Actually, I think i did, but it was a side story to the first Gundam Series before the Titans existed. Yea! I think that's it!

^What? "A New Translation" is just a retelling of the original Zeta series which are split up into 3 movies. It has nothing to do with the first series. I also have no idea what list and what sidestory you are talking about :p

The original series have been condenced into 3 movies as well in which they altered a few things. Tomino made the Gundam RX-78-2 look less like a super robot like he inteded to do with the original series. Hayato was also given a new different kind of Guntank in the Jaburo base. There have also been other alterations.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By Bdpy · Posted

      my problem with outlook (new) is that it connects only to outlook.com. all connections to external providers goes through there. Got your mail server and want to use imap directly? no way... it adds a connector on outlook.com. last bug; if your email on an external provider if the same as principal email of your microsoft account, it doesn't work...
    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes

      It's the only reason I finally have an iPhone (for work) and enjoy using it so much that I'm tempted to move from android next time I need to replace my own device
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
