I know, but the fact that they're trying to tie this one with the original story is what's lame about it. It's a cheap way for Bandai to make money, that's all I'm saying.

For anyone who is interested; Memory of Eden has been released in it's entirety with English subs.

 

I watched it,nothing new.. it's just the Asemu/Zehart storyline put into 1 movie into 2 parts. lol. 

What else did you expect? They did say it was going to be exactly that with added scenes much like the SEED special editions :p I skimmed through it and it didn't seem worth watching if you've already watched the series. Too bad that by skimming through it, I noticed that they were out of their mobile suits more than in them.

Heh, I thought it was something new. Didn't know it was just a stupid cash grab.

I posted numerous times though that it was going to be a compilation, all the news posts said that as well :p Oh well, be glad you didn't pay for it!

I've read that it's the director who screwed it up and that if the director of "Memory of Eden" made all of it, the series would've been solid. For me that's not true though, because the character arts and whatnot still scream "childish" to me.

idk, i didn't really mind the art style. it kinda reminded me of an updated version of the art style in the original series

it probably felt childish to you because it was actual children (not teenagers) as the main characters for a good portion of it

Really? Gundam Unicorn and Zeta Gundam: A New Translation both are series with an updated art style. Gundam AGE just looks completely different and has a style that you'd see in Pokemon/Digimon type series. Gundam AGE felt childish because of the character arts and how the characters were.

They were trying to attract new watchers with Gundam AGE, that's why they opted for the character styles that AGE had. And that's also why they opted for a simpler kind of overall art and story. And that is why I didn't like it. Even the first part of ZZ Gundam (which is hated by a lot of fans), which was more comedy (more comedy than you'll ever find in a Gundam series) than seriousness and therefore controversial, was loads better than Gundam AGE.

TL;DR: It wasn't their age, it was the character style/overall style and the simple story.

Everything...everything he said.

 

Age looked liked a show that could have had such sadistic plots in the story if it were to have such "grown up" character art. If Gundam doesn't have the feel of reality like some of our shoes like wing or 00 (despite the technology has nothing to do with us), it doesn't feel intense, it's more "yaaaaaaaay"-ish.

Well, they did aim it towards a new crowd so I get why they opted for the art direction. But for me the art direction just didn't fit within the Gundam Universe that was established so far.

I used to be so creative with designing my own Gundams when I was young, I wish I could just produce my own ideals and make it happen. I want mixture of Gundam 00 & Ghost in the Shell, where the fighting and technology are so strong and the human philosophy gets even more outstanding. Quantum.

How exactly would you even begin mixing Gundam with Ghost in the Shell? Both anime are completely different and have completely different meanings in their stories. There's not a single way to combine both if you ask me. There's nothing like human philosophy in Gundam to begin with. Ghost in the Shell is about how it to be an full-body cyborg and human at the same time.

Sorry, but I just can't wrap my head around wanting to combine both anime. Ghost in the Shell and Gundam just don't go well together and should be separate at all times because mixing them would ruin both. How could you make an anime that is about the line of being human and a machine and at the same time about kids fighting with huge robots in a war to try and find a way to stop the war.

You just want to combine them for the sake of combining them because you like both series. It doesn't seem like you're thinking about what both animes are trying to achieve with their stories. Mixing both is just impossible imo.

Also, the reason why New-Types and all the other version of it aren't front and center of Gundam is because it's a story element to keep it all mysterious and stuff. Putting that front and center in Gundam would ruin that aspect. It would ruin the fact that there are kids in the anime with special abilities and that those abilities aren't fully understood yet and therefore only some of the spacenoids have it. It just wouldn't be as interesting as it currently is in Universal Century. Before you know it they'd make everyone in a war a New-Type with their abilities at the fullest and then they'd start adding power levels to it like they do in Dragonball Z. Where's the fun in that?

There's just no logic in combining Ghost in the Shell with Gundam and putting New-Type stuff in Gundam front and center. I'm sorry for coming down hard on this but the fact is I'm passionate about both anime. Seeing a post with un-logical things about such anime just makes me feel that I want to debunk it all, lol.

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
