Fanservice Frontier 11

I… I can’t bring myself to write properly about M-Frontier 11. I’m sorry. It’s just… There was just too much random fanservice detracting from the enjoyment of the series as a whole. I’m actually rather annoyed by it.

Bullet Points:

• Ranka is cute. Loved the modified Nyan-Nyan commercial.
• Streets seemed oddly devoid of traffic. Does everyone do what I do and walk everywhere? That would be nice.
• I still want that damn slug cell phone. Better than Code Geass’ phone, in my opinion.
• Annoying fanservice moments with Sheryl wearing the bathing suit, and the students crowding to watch.
• Nice touch with the synchronised planet.
• Alto-hime yaoi doujinshi inbound
• Alto-hime also loses terribly for giving up Ranka for Sheryl.
• Of course, it’s hard to dodge the “real limitless sky” thing that Alto’s always wanted.
• If VF-27 and Kira Yamato are going with Sheryl and Alto, does that mean they’ll fight together instead of against each other? High-performance custom machine alongside grunt machine, FTW!
• Ranka’s diary ED = awesome cuteness
• Also would like to note that the VF design may be one of the best possible mech designs at all. High speed or high maneuverability to avoid the beam rifle or energy weapon being pointed at you, good firepower in the form of either the gatling gun (VF-25) or energy rifle (VF-27, Mikhail’s sniper-type), missile spam, and apparently ‘energy conversion armor’ on other marks. The fighter mode is definitely superior to ZGMF-X10A Freedom (Gundam SEED)’s High Maneuverability Aerial Tactics mode, and probably more maneuverable than MSN-006 Zeta Gundam’s waverider form, too. I don’t even want to think about how badly XXXG-00W0 Wing Zero’s Bird Mode would kill this. Frickin’ Wing.

Not Entirely Distracted

So, uh, you’ll notice this blog is not really dead, it’s just that Mochi and Dan have been distracted and Haruhi knows where hibaridesu went.

But it doesn’t matter since I’m not entirely distracted! Last night I decided to watch through a few Gundam Evolve clips. I’ve been on a bit of a Gundam kick recently because of how undeniably badass the suits are, so I’m torrenting Zeta Gundam to watch for myself. Anyways. Gundam Evolve 1 was just a short recap of the original series, with Amuro remembering upon who he fought alongside and against. No flashy stuff, but it was a good throwback to when I played Journey to Jaburo. Evolve 2 was… rather boring, with a Zeta Gundam scene of the RX-178 flailing around, destroying an observation camera, and degenerating into the pilot whining like an emo teen. Evolve 3 was… a Chinese action film with Gundam units. Ah, G Gundam. Evolve 4 involved the RX-78GP03 in suit and mobile armor form, flying around and kicking indiscriminate Zeon ass. Loved the cameo of the RX-78GP04 at the end, too, which was my favourite design in the pre-Zeta period.

Evolve 5 was a happier ending to one of the stories in the epic movie Char’s Counterattack, involving one of the characters not turning into an angsty emo teen because he killed the girl he loved. Evolve 6 was a clip fron SEED, which involved a dream about a mobile suit gone haywire.  Evolve 7… Wing Zero kicking more infinite ass, except WITHOUT using its hax buster rifle, which got amazing plus points from me. I always thought the buster rifle was an energy waste. Evolve 8 pissed me off. Go youtube it if you want. I don’t care.

Evolve 9 was awesome due to inclusion of ace pilots Amuro Ray and Shin Matsunaga, two of the best of the One Year War. Assault on a Newtype-controlled psychoweapon in low Earth orbit. It was fun. Evolve 10 was something in the ZZ timeline, I’m not too familiar with it.

That’s all the ones I saw, so… yeah. Bleah, I’m tired and needed to remind people that we aren’t dead. At least, I’m not dead. Mochi’s probably playing MapleStory. >_> I should get back to training my White Knight, too.

M-Frontier 11 will be going up sometime in the next few hours, I think. I got time to do it.
