Welcome to the Gunpla/Plamo General!
For those new, please read our guides. We have many resources available to help you in many different aspects of the hobby. They're here for you!
For the unclear, "plamo" is short for "plastic model". "Gunpla" is thus short for "Gundam plastic model". Many different kinds of models are built here, ranging from mecha to planes, cars, musume, you name it! If you're new, you're gonna screw up. Don't worry! If you're seasoned, don't make the newbies worry!
And don't forget to report shitposting and spam. The mods don't browse /m/ too often, so it's up to YOU to help keep our general clean and civil!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Be more specific, and try to provide clear images if you can.

4chan strips EXIF data when images are uploaded, including the orientation tag if it's from your phone. To fix it save out your images separately, or use an app that will rotate and save the images for you.

Prior thread: >>23300080 Which MP that did justice to the prototype machine? Let's post about one of best mecha animes ever made. So what are the chances of us getting a more Shonen-like Escaflowne re-make along the lines of the manga with a busty sexpot Hitomi?
I haven't seen a whole lot of new Medieval Mech out there lately, and it seems like studios are okay remaking established properties more than ever.
I think the last recent medieval mecha I watched was Knights & Magic (which was a lot better than I expected and wish they would put out more) and maybe Back Arrow, which I didn't finish but thought it had some potential.
Brokenblade (Breakblade) finally ended its manga run after years and years of hiatus, so maybe they'll end up animating that?
Other than that, it looks like Panzer World Galient got a semi-wide release, which I bought but have yet to check out. I love the Galient promo art.
Am I missing anything recent? we need to talk about the elephant in the room It's been two years since he passed away ;__; Previous Thread: >>23292863

>DO NOT MAKE NEW GENERALS WHEN IT IMMEDIATELY REACHES BUMP LIMIT. WAIT TILL IT GETS TO PAGE 6 TO MAKE A NEW GENERAL!!¡!! 
It's just bad. Now I don't have the confidence to say if it's bad by general /m/ standards, or even overall Gundam standards, but it's definitely bad by UC standards. Not only is it worse than ZZ, it's worse than just ZZ's first half. You could say it's like ZZ in reverse, so it starts mediocre then gets bad, but it's not even that. Victory starts bad, ascends to mediocrity when they get to space, then plunges back into the abyss. And the culprit is not the tires, it's Victory's terrible writing. The turning point for me was around episode 25, where Uso shows up to rescue Shahkti from the palace, and she's clearly distressed and not on board with being there, but then HE tells her to stay because her momma is there, and even tells her he's fine with becoming enemies. Then, after they escape from Ameria and before the episode is even over, he suddenly does a 180 and says he needs to go back and rescue Shahkti. It's not like Shahkti had doubts about leaving, or there was some kind of misunderstanding, Uso MADE her stay to Shahkti's obvious suprise and shock, then an hour later changed his mind. The show lost me after that.
In general, Victory is either repetitive and stupid (Shahkti needs to be rescued every 5 episodes, mommy themes that are so overused and surface-level they turn into noise), or goes nowhere. I was waiting the entire time for Cronicle to pull a Glemy, and not only does he not pull a Glemy, a different person does and half-jokingly invites Cronicle to join up with him. Uso says his dad thinks Shahkti is the enemy...nothing comes of it. Nothing comes of his dad and the old general talking about fatherhood either because he never talks to Uso again before he just vanishes (dies?). V2's technology-disabling wings are only used once against a filler enemy because I guess Tomino thought the idea was too good for this shitshow and saved it up for Turn A. We're one day closer to Felsi's return as a jk in the new AU manga. So have you guys read the Zeta novels yet?

>>23263989 Does Gundam Wing ever get good?
I'm 12 eps in, and all that's happened is the main character trying to kill himself half a dozen times. 
>why isn't the narrative centered around an overt war?
This was a deliberate decision to communicate a different kind of atmosphere from the classic UC saga, according to Tsurumaki. He questions how deeply a war story would resonate with the post-war generation. What kind of story is necessary for us? These are the questions Tsurumaki is asking. The slow-boiling tension, and the possibility of a deadly *future* war is supposed to be reflective of our current geopolitical situation.
>what is the deal with all the metaphysical stuff going on?
This is to a large extent a story about Newtypes, about whether or not they are real, and what that might mean. The subtle presence of hope and its admixture with doubt in a tenuous geopolitical situation, you can see how this was intended to resonate with modern audiences. Tsurumaki is trying to make the Newtype message intelligible for modern viewers. Yes, that includes you, Gundam fan born in the post-war era.
>why does Side 6 look like that? why is the technology so modern?
They deliberately modeled it after post-war, modern Japan. Tsurumaki said that this is not only symbolic but literal: ethnic Japanese immigration was significant. This is why the Japanese language sees so much use.
>why do the character designs look so different between the OYW and GQx characters?
To communicate the transition of generation. Tsurumaki originally wanted the protagonists to be born after the war, but for a variety of reasons he ended up settling on setting the show in 0085. While the impression may not be narratively as large now that these are ignorant children who don't know what it means to fight and die in war, the visual impression is still there. This all ties in with the modern Japanese setting of Side 6. Can someone please explain Haro to me? Why does Haro show up in almost every Gundam? Why does Haro help or care so much for the characters it attaches to? Is every Haro the same entity, a different one, or connected parts of a whole like some sort of hive mind? Is Haro invincible? I have so many questions about this mysterious creature. 
We are BACK.

>Mobile Suit Gundam (Tomino novelization from 1979): https://www.mediafire.com/file/0okjjd28or6hl9b/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_-_Yoshiyuki_Tomino.epub/file
Sourced and formatted to .epub from a fresh OCR of the 2004 Stone Bridge Press omnibus edition uploaded to the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/details/mobilesuitgundam0000tomi_d6n5).
Unlike the first edition, this one uses the standard names: "Zaku" instead of "Zak", "Char" rather than "Sha", etc. I did my best to retain the styling of the print edition, but it's likely there are some OCR artifacts, like missed italics or possessives.
>For the Barrel (a "reinterpretation" of the Tomino novels published by Newtype Magazine in the early 2000s. Text by Gichi Ohtsuka, character designs by Shigeto Koyama and mecha design by Junji Ohkubo): https://www.mediafire.com/file/nhvdrzqa1s3fqgv/For_The_Barrel.epub/file
Sourced and formatted to .epub from the translation by "TheIdeon" at https://gunbusternovels.wordpress.com/2021/03/31/for-the-barrel/
While it retains everything translated to the website, messy formatting and all plus picture footnotes and other annotations, it does not include any images out of practical concerns. Editing the whole thing is beyond my abilities, and adding the scans as attachments would inflate the file size considerably and lose a lot of resolution. Complete scan of the relevant Newtype pages is here: https://imgur.com/a/barrel-TewsF0g

I demand a show with her and only her Why would I be excited for a new anime when Tri and Colon collectively gave me what I wanted? when did /m/ stop liking robots? Mecha stories shouldn't waste our time. There'll be Master grades, R-riggt, guys?
It won't be like G-witch again where it's nothing but HG and one 1:100 FM kit, right?
RIGHT?
(Even though the FM 1:100 Gundam Aerial is a really solid kit) Move aside little girls, this is a MATURE WOMEN franchise. A new /m/onster from the latest VJUMP promo tease I sincerely believe that people who dislike anything directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino should be killed. No trial, no hesitation, just gunned down in the street. Old news at this point but we do have a new Patlabor project coming next year, still unknown if it is a TV series/movie/ova etc. Hopes, fears?

https://myanimelist.net/anime/59889/Kidou_Keisatsu_Patlabor__EZY They don't make mecha like they used to. I haven't seen Rayearth, can someone explain that meme that's being posted in every thread? Is it really that bad? How did Goth Lalah make you feel? Are you anons familiar with Yamato Takeru? It seems to be a fantasy robot series and it got a Moderoid release recently, thinking of checking it out. Not sure if anyone here has seen it. THE MAN
THE MYTH
THE MURDERER I don't know what it is, but I really don't mind SEED Destiny anymore. I actually kind of like it. There's plenty of Char wank, but no Quattro wank. Why is that? Previous thread:

https://pastebin.com/1jy2v97j Let's have a thread for the best mecha designer of the modern era What are you watching and reading, /m/? Have you cleared anything out of your backlog recently? Why didn't any of the OG power rangers join the WWE? was it just a timing thing? apparently the green ranger really liked the WWE and Vince wanted the power rangers at WWF shows but saban wouldn't do it, which seems weird with how fucking jewish saban was. It also wasn't like it was attitude era or anything. Vince wanted the power rangers in 1995 which was before Austin and Degeneration X.
It's also not like any of the power rangers did shit after they were on power rangers anyway. of all the preturbo rangers only the pink ranger, first yellow ranger and both black rangers had any actual success outside of power rangers and even that's kind of sketchy since Kimberly was older than most of the cast and was in stuff before power rangers and Zach and Adam basically just did kids shows/voice acting after power rangers. Bandai, give us Conch.
Model kit.
Figure.
Don't care, just want Conch.
Include his little shades he wears in the ED.
Conch.
Baby boy.
Little baby cube boy.
He's such a boy.
Every day there isn't a Conch available for purchase is a day the terrorists win
You see that little guy?
He's my buddy
My pal
My sweet cheese
My rotten soldier
My good time boy
Conch. >retcons Cima's death
What an actual fucking cop-out. I'm storytiming Secret Rendezvous because I can and because one day I want to storytime the Unicorn novels.
gunbusternovels.wordpress.com/2024/01/22/secret-rendezvous-the-whole-thing/ Another week another gridman merch Why does this scene from Smallville sound and feel like a Gundam Unicorn scene
https://youtu.be/Gsafc8fqN9g I'm enjoying Gquuuuuux, but I'm getting the distinct feeling that this was a movie they stretched out into 12 episodes.
The pacing is either very slow or way too fast. There's no in-between. Not enough 4 legged mobile suits in Gundam Turn A Gundam is the pinnacle of the Gundam franchise. Nothing before or after tops it. Unique story, deep characters, unmatched world-building. The laundry scene—Loran and Dianna washing clothes in the river—shows its grounded brilliance.
Pure perfection. Thoughts on the series? Always kind of loved the lore and the original PC games (played MW2:Mercenaries to death, even though I was barely halfway decent beyond "Instant Action")
Recently got my hands on a second hand copy of the 4th Edition Beginner's Set of the table top from the 90's that for the most part entirely intact (never played one before, so it should be interesting to say the least) The flesh is weak but the feminine form is beautiful, hence our desire to see it in metal. Post them robots you would clang-clang. Gundam 00 is going to be old enough to post later this year. Orguss 02 is criminally underrated.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x82cUv6p8fg Here's your favorite jobber, Gyan Thread for /m/anga that AREN'T Dynamics (Getter, Mazinger and so) or Gundam side material. When is she going to show up? If they ever made a crossover game featuring mecha from video games, which ones would you like to see most? I know it's been a long time, but the Getter storyti/m/e is re-continued.

Also, anyone else hoping to see more Zeon versions of Feddie designs? The only thing he did wrong was lose. What the hell was this? I'm so confused on what happened here. Is Duel Blitz Gundam a decent successor to Duel Gundam? It seems terrible when in comparison to the Lightning Buster Gundam. What did she mean by this I liked it i rated it 4 stars on letterbox the end was cool with Amaro and char sword fighting and char zipping around with the jetpack and then headshotting the purple girl and then the ship she was on blows up anyway What does /m/ think of 30k/40k Knight suits? One weakness, at least when it comes to toys, of combining robots is the structural compromises of the whole. What kind of arrangement, in your opinion, would be best to deal with this weakness? Also let's assume it's not using mass shifting like Getter Robo does most of the time to solve this. why do people call turn A the strongest gundam when Zeta Zaku exists? Could Comoli (or Comilly) be Amuro's childhood friend? I haven't seen this discussed yet. I was watching the episode and heard a familiar name. Could "Comilly" a translatiteration mistake? Has Amuro's dead friend become the Sodon's Second Lieutenant in this timeline? >There's no way this could backfire! What’s your stance on Mechposting, /m/? Lacus Clyne but as a good character I'm about to start watching this anime. Wish me luck on this journey. Is Gundam Sentinel "II" a Possibility? >>>/jp/49494239

Not Copy X here but the last thread just got purged because of a spammer so I'm throwing up a waiting room for the next thread so discussion can still happen because of how important the current choice is. Do you guys think a Gundam series with a Zaku-looking Gundam would be cool? Monoeye, tubes and machine guns, etc? I really like the militarized feel of the Zaku, Gelgoog and Marasai, and I think it'd be interesting for a full series to directly star a mech built in that style. Most Gundam units share the same head shape and design, but it'd be neat as a one-off design (maybe a cool OVA or manga). I just really like monoeyes.
Also monoeye thread, post your monoeye dudes across all mecha. Yeah!? Well how bout I cum on you while you can't move and see how you like it? So, I have 40 timed Dragonar subs for the BD rips. They work with both Moozzi2 and QTS. The first 9 worked just fine with the current GARlock subs. The rest were all timed line-by-line by myself. I kinda wish someone else could take over the remaining 8 episodes because I never watched this show before and did this only because I was tired of waiting for a decent quality release since the Italian rips looked awful. I would be glad to at least be able to watch the ending arc properly.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/sew7acj0enh92ks/Dragonar_subs.rar/ For me, it’s the sex scene from SEED. You DID watch the best mecha anime of 2023 right anon? why didn't UC Engage kick off like Eternal? 0079 Trilogy > Zeta ANT > CCA > Hathaway
This is how a lot of people watch UC these days. I don't understand why the first of an incomplete movie series with no continuation as of yet is the end point to rush through everything else.

Now this time, they are doing it with Gamera 2 (1996) with Legion. What the fuck is going on? Next to rocket punches, shoulder cannons are THE iconic robot weapon.
