No more posting Jail for me!

After I learned everything there is about the human bone, I decided it would be more fun to blow up digital worlds.

You should wishlist Virtue's Heaven on Steam!

And Buy GB Rober, while you're at it!

hit the "read more" thing to see a nice gif that I took from it.

(Mostly hiding the gif here, to make sure I don't put a big, unpausable thing into other people's feeds.)

Anyway, 08th MS Team is cool! I love the colour palette and how grounded the entire show is, despite still being about various horrors that big Robots can inflict. I haven't watched a lot of Gundam shows, but I haven't seen that many that put that much of emphasis on communicating the scale and weight of the Mobile suits as well as this one did. Maybe Iron Blooded Orphans, but that was mostly limited to when Robots swung big pieces of metal around and not the moment to moment interactions.

Also a heads up, if you watch it, skip the first few minutes of the first episode, because there's a needless slur in there (at least in the subbed version).

in reply to @MOKKA's post:

always a big fan of when gundam conveys the sheer scale of the mobile suit - i absolutely love 0080 just like everyone else that's seen it, and though i don't like F91 as a whole its opening moments are great because of this - and i've been meaning to get around to 08MS. alack, i've had a lot of media on my plate already...

(08th MS Team is currently available on GundamInfo's Youtube channel, if you're looking for a convenient way to watch it)

Watching 08th MS Team I was wondering if maybe it's better at communicating the scale, because it's set down on Earth, where it's much easier to communicate it, versus when it's set in Space where everything is kind of relative? The show definitely lingers much longer on these moments that really show, how large and terrifying these robots really are.
