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.

 

Yeah, no doubt.. I doubt there will be that kind of situation like that in builders. It's just kids playing with toys. It's like beyblade all over again lol.

Yeah, that part where Stratos he looked at the earth and talked was pretty touching too. His whole last part really, the part where he breathed and out deeply before his last shot was great too.

Anyhow, I understand what Razorwing means. It's not a proper Gundam series where Gundam pilots fight to stop a war and save humanity. It's basically another Gundam series, like AGE, aimed at kids. I can't wait till "Gundam: THE ORIGIN" airs!

That's true. But for me there were many things wrong with AGE, as I've mentioned quiet a few times in this thread, haha :p AGE wasn't a proper Gundam series either for many reasons, imo.

i like build fighters as far as anime goes, but i still would not consider it a Gundam series. most like a gundam parody.

 

I do not remember if i have seen Age or not but Gundam Unicorn is the best thing to come out of Gundam in a very long time. Thankfully it is becoming more and more popular so i think that we might see another good series soon. Hopefully we will get more Celestial Body based series. I would also like to see something else in the Gundam Wing era/universe.

Not too keen on that version. The color scheme doesn't do it for me.

Celestial Being was pretty much finished with the film so don't expect new material from that. They're going to air "Mobile Suit Gundam: THE ORIGIN" next year so that's good news! At least it'll be a more mature series in vein of the originals/Gundam Unicorn. I'd love for them to set up a new universe like Universal Century and keep building off of it instead of creating new universes for each series. Also, there's a new manga set after the events of "Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz" and it's called "Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop"

The big red thing is the NZ-999 Neo Zeong and is a armored variant of the MSN-06S Sinanju:

It's kinda like the Dendrobium unit. In other words, this is going to be one hell of a finale!

Holy crap look at that thing. I guess that is going against Full Armor Unicorn.

I think so too. It's kinda like the GP03, it's a mobile suit with a support unit. If you look closely, you'll see Sinanju's head in the top.

"Mobile Suit Gundam" 35th Anniversary Site Launched

A new portal site for the 35th anniversary of Sunrise's Mobile Suit Gundam series launched today. The first TV anime series Mobile Suit Gundam started airing in Japan on April 7, 1979. While not much information is revealed, the tagline on the site says, "Rise! The World is Moving." And a video screen shows "Coming Soon: March 20th, 2014 5PM, ON LIVE." It means a new announcement related to the Gundam series will be broadcasted online at 5:00 pm, March 20 (JST), 1:00 am, March 20 (PST).

What can you expect for this March 20 announcement? The long-awaited Gundam: The Origin anime series? A new OVA series following the very successful Gundam Unicorn, such as Hathaway's Flash or Crossbone Gundam? Yoshiyuki Tomino's new anime (G-Reko or collaboration project with Legacy Effects)? Bandai confirmed back in July 2013 that Tomino's newest anime work will be released as a part of the 35th anniversary of the Gundam franchise in 2014 to 2015 and the anime adaptation of

Gundam: The Origin will be also released around the same time.

Gundam's 35th Year Marked With Reconguista in G, The Origin

Bandai Namco Holdings, Sotsu, and Sunrise confirmed the three main projects that will celebrate the 35th anniversary of Gundam during a Thursday event. Episode 7 of Mobile Suit Gundam UC will play in theaters on May 17. Aimer will perform theme song "StarRingChild."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9kA4UZA5kM

Gundam: G no Reconguista (Gundam: Reconguista in G), the franchise creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's major Gundam project since the 2005-2006 Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam film trilogy, will debut this fall. It is set in "Reguild Century," the era set after the Universal Century, and it will follow the adventures of a pilot trainee named Beruri Zenamu in Capital Guard, an organization protecting a space elevator. The character designer is Kenichi Yoshida, and the mecha designer are Akira Yasuda, Ippei Gy?bu, and Kimitoshi Yamane. Yuugo Kanno is scoring the music.

Kid? Senshi Gundam: The Origin I: Aoi Hitomi no Casval (Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin Blue-Eyed Casval) will tell the story of Casval Rem Deikun and Artesia Som Deikun (Char and Sayla, before Char became known as the Red Comet) before the One-Year War in UC.0068. The four-episode adaptation of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's manga will debut in theaters in next spring.

At first I was looking forward to "Gundam: THE ORIGIN" but now that I see that the art work looks a lot like Gundam SEED, I'm looking forward to it a whole lot less. "Gundam: Reconguista in G" however, looks awesome! I have a huge sweet spot for Kenichi Yoshida's character art.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By freedonX · Posted

      When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
