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 unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By excalpius · Posted

      Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.

    • Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Apple unveils Siri AI, a "reimagined" version of SIri by David Uzondu Image via Apple Today, at the opening keynote of Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced Siri AI, a "reimagined version" of its voice assistant that runs on Apple Intelligence. Siri AI helps you do things like draft messages, edit photos, and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations. You can access Siri AI through several methods, depending on the device. While "Hey Siri" remains active, iPhone users can also press the side button, swipe down from the Dynamic Island, or use a system-wide context menu on Mac to analyze on-screen text. Image via Apple If you ever need to go back and check previous interactions, you can open the dedicated Siri app to view your entire conversation history. This application privately syncs your data using iCloud, leveraging local Foundational Models alongside Apple's secure Private Cloud Compute servers to keep user data inaccessible to outsiders. On the iPhone, Apple built the assistant into the Camera app, bringing Visual Intelligence to help you split bills or count calories. This feature also expands to the iPad and Mac, letting users use screenshots or shortcuts to analyze images, while Apple Vision Pro users can ask questions about objects in their physical room. Other things to know about Siri AI include systemwide dictation that automatically handles punctuation and formatting, customizable voice speeds, and a spatial 3D interface built for Apple Vision Pro. Apple also added Smart Stack suggestions on the Apple Watch to help you continue recent conversations directly from your wrist. The road to Siri AI was quite bumpy for Apple, which initially promised these capabilities at WWDC 2024 when the Cupertino tech giant debuted Apple Intelligence. Apple later turned to Google, signing a $1 billion annual deal to use Gemini models instead of relying solely on its own in-house systems. However, this deal came only after consumers sued Apple because features Apple promised "did not exist at the time, do not exist now, and will not exist for two or more years." Siri AI is available for developer testing on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27.
