Yea! I've been so busy at work, I never heard anything about it.

 

That's because it's not released online nor will it be release online. As I've said before, it's a short animation feature that's only been displayed at Gundam Front Tokyo's "DOME-G" on August 3, 2013. It is based off a short story written by Gundam Unicorn's author, Fukui Harutoshi. To celebrate this short animated feature, Bandai Hobby produced a limited Gundam Front Tokyo HG model kit of this design. It won't be more than the short or the limited HG kits (thankfully).

Has anyone been able to see the Unicorn SP?

The history section of the link below has a summary of that G-DOME movie:

Anyway I've written another post on the predecessors of Gundam Build Fighters:

Nice blog post! Also, I'd much rather check the video that the manuscript, haha. Too bad they didn't release it online. I'm also glad that they didn't add the Phenex to the original story because it would definitely ruin what they've established in the original story.

Written another blog post looking into the character Knight Unicorn Gundam:

http://bonkurasu.animeblogger.net/2013/11/bb-knight-unicorn-look/

 

Any interest in SD here?

SD Gundams formed the bulk of my kit collection.

I think I started with a SD F90 back in primary school.

But I've stopped buying kits (for now?).

I've never really gotten into SD Gundam, haha. I played a SD Gundam Game with Razorwing but that's about it. I like my Gundam in their original form :p

Oh my goodness, would you guys be sad if they ever made a Gundam Card Game like YuGiOh or Pokemon? Or..how about Risk? Though I think that's already created.

I wouldn't be sad necessarily, I just wouldn't play the game :P They've already done something similar now with "Gundam Build Fighters".

Gundam Build Fighters episode 11 is out and it's actually amazing! Imagine we could actually do something like this! :D

 

Also, I still have this huge love for 00, not just the seasons, but the Mangas I may soon read and the whole background behind the entire story of Celestial Being.

Haha, that would be pretty awesome yeah :p

I have a bigger love for the Zeta stories. With the Titans testing experimental mobile suits an whatnot. It was the time when they designed the most original mobile suits. Too bad they've never made a series of Advance of Zeta.

Every time I think about Advance of Zeta, I ask myself "why". :P

Why not? That's not the only mobile suit in Advance of Zeta, there's tons more. Check out the TR line and you'll see how original they all look. Sure, the headpiece on that mobile suit looks odd. But it's there for a reason.

The last episode is being released next year. It hasn't even been in theaters yet in Japan. This episode is longer than the previous episodes and they're also working on a new part of the OST.

I know about the rest, it's that one mobile suit that always gets to me. It's actually kind of cute.

 

I was hoping that the movie would be longer! :D The ending song to Episode 6 sounded so perfect that I had to add it to iTunes.

It's been too long since the last Gundam. lol. I'm starting to watch Gundam Builder, but it's ok so far.. not really ever going to be my favourite. 

 

Doesn't this make you question, what is thee greatest Gundam of all time? Not the granddaddy of all of all Gundams, I mean the best to ever do it.

Definitely has been too long. But that's all due to the fact that they decided to make episode 7 longer than the previous episodes. So they also need to make new music and whatnot.

Gundam Builder is fun but it was nicer as an OVA if you ask me.

As of right now I figure that Builder is worse than AGE. It's kinda stupid imo. 

 

Seriously? :( Can't we just enjoy the fact that it's made to be fun and creative for those who enjoy custom builds? I mean, yea, there are many characters who are various lookalikes of the real ones from Unicorn and the rest of the U.C timeline *cough* Ral. But, this is something I wish was real. No one gets hurt at least!  :/

I dunno it just seems like when no one dies, it's not as tragic. Just look when Woolf died in AGE, that was like a OMG moment.

Yea that moment made me sad. I'm actually downloading AGE again right now. There was Yu-Gi-Oh, no one died, but they were just cool with defeating each other on the table. I think it's the same vibe with this and any other card of build game.

 

I admit though, Build Fighters made me tear a little. LOL but I never cried as much as 00 when Stratos died and Haro yelled out his name.

    • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

      "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.

      Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).

      Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.

      Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow by Sayan Sen For a while now the transition away from Manifest V2 (MV2) to MV3 has been on-going and it looks like it is entering its final phase of deprecation, at least, in the case of Google Chrome. A recent discussion thread in the w3c WebExtensions Community Group GitHub repo has highlighted how the latest and upcoming versions of the most popular browser are expected to be its final releases with support for MV2 extensions. Chromium contributor Andrey Bershanskiy shared details about recent Chromium changes and according to comments from Google engineer Devlin Cronin, Chrome has now started removing the flags that previously controlled MV2 availability. kExtensionManifestV2Disabled, the Chromium feature flag that allowed controlled disabling of MV2 add-ons, is now completely removed, which means you will likely no longer find uBlock Origin in your browser extensions list. He wrote: "The kExtensionManifestV2Disabled feature has been default-enabled for over a year. Remove the feature and the effectively-dead code. ... Any tests that relied on being in the "warning" phase (i.e., with the kExtensionManifestV2Disabled) for their sole behavior testing are removed, since this stage is no longer reachable." Cronin further explained why MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in supported Chrome versions as maintaining the associated functionality indefinitely is no longer possible. He cited growing technical difficulties and implementation complexities as well as security concerns. He wrote: "MV2 extensions are no longer allowed in any supported version of Chrome, and we are removing support for them and the associated functionality. We won't be able to provide / maintain this functionality indefinitely due to the complexity and tech debt, as well as the security risks it entails (we've actually found a number of bugs that are specific to MV2 lately). Of course, other browsers can continue supporting these if they so desire. Unfortunately, we won't be putting code behind a compilation flag ... We won't be removing all the MV2 code wholesale right away, so many of these things will continue working for awhile (but they will go away eventually, and some may go away sooner than others)." What this essentially means is that the tricks and bypasses that were used to keep MV2 extensions like uBlock Origin and others alive will not work any more on Chrome, or at least not for very long. For example the Windows Registry mod that could extend MV2 availability will cease to function after Chromium version 151. Here is a rundown of the changes coming in the final such releases of Chromium releases: Chromium 150 lost ExtensionManifestV2Disabled option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Unsupported option Chromium 151 will loose ExtensionManifestV2Availability option Chromium 151 will likely loose AllowLegacyMV2Extensions option Other Chromium-based browsers like Opera and Microsoft Edge could soon follow suit too. Although it is not specified, Edge began disabling uBlock Origin back in February, and Opera could also stop the functioning of MV2 add-ons, even though it had committed to support MV2 for longer in October 2024. uBlock Origin developer Raymond Hill (gorhill) apparently stated the following: "For Opera I did submit 1.70.0 rather late, but this was weeks ago. A while ago I received an email from Opera that they plan to abandon MV2-based extension so maybe they are no longer allocating resources for reviewing such extensions." The email which developers like Gorhill mentions was received from Opera last year. Here is what it seemingly said: Hence for now the only Chromium browser that seems to be on-board fully with MV2 support is Brave, and perhaps Vivaldi as well. Meanwhile if you want to ditch Chromium browsers entirely then Mozilla Firefox is an excellent alternative as MV3 and MV2 are both supported. Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version. Source: w3C (GitHub repo) As an online publication, Neowin too relies on ads for operating costs and, if you use an ad blocker, we'd appreciate being whitelisted. In addition, we have an ad-free subscription for $28 a year, which is another way to show support!
