my favorite genre of Gundams and Gunpla is just when they let the designer go buckwild. Like the FA-78 Full Armor from Gundam Thunderbolt.

look at this dickhead. he doesn't need four shields. he probably doesn't even need two shields. and look at all those decals! fucking impossible to apply, most of them weren't even in the anime because fuck animating all that.

if that doesn't tickle your fancy, what about Full Armor Unicorn from Gundam Unicorn?

look at this fucking shithead. he has like a bajillion weapons. giant thrusters on the back that need their own little stand. this is the Real Grade so it's a bit more "realistic" but it's still fucking bullshit. absolute bullshit.

those are some recent Katoki designs (Katoki is the designer known for being batshit insane with his designs) but look at this design from the nineties. Ladies and Gentlemen, i give you Gundam Heavyarms.

fucking. bullshit. his chest and his shoulders open up to reveal a gazillion guns? ok. and he has another gun strapped to his arm? it's stupid, but it's not the stupidest thing so far.

THIS IS

ITS THE SAME SUIT BUT THEY STRAPPED THREE MORE GUNS ON IT AND HAJIME FUCKING KATOKI MADE IT

I KID YOU NOT WHEN I SAY THAT THIS GLORIOUS BASTARD HAS FILLED EVERY WAKING SECOND OF MY LIFE

I TELL MY MOM "hey mama, i just got a new gundam!"

AND SHE ASKS ME IF KATOKI MADE IT BECAUSE HE HAS INFECTED MY PERSONAL LIFE hes a fucking bullshit stupid man with too much time on his hands and i simultaneously hope he stops designing gundams for my sanity's sake and also i hope that he lives for a thousand more years and draws a ton of cool robots so i can build little plastic modesl of them.

As soon as I saw that Hajime Katoki designed a Hatsune Miku based off of the Feiyen from Virtual-On, I dropped everything else to draw her

Apharmd S From Virtual on

i recently got my hands on a very rare virtual on figure, funnily enough there is little to no documentation of this figure anywhere online, not really much more to say than its a pretty decent figure.

(links to the in-game theme and the url it said to visit on the back of the box) since i cant find much extra information on the website i might upload some sort of a review of it on my youtube

#the autism strikes again.#action figure #virtual on #cybertroopers; virtual on #sega #photography #gundam #<- (sorta. i only featured the jegan because both are designed by KATOKI. as in THE KATOKI HAJIME. MR VER Ka HIMSELF #please if you are planning on buying one of these be warned the head and hands are atrocious to swap out

Virtual-On Wallpapers 💫

Virtual On is a futuristic, mech-fighting game. Virtual On originally released in arcades and the Sega Saturn (1996) and released a year later on PC (1997). The Saturn version of the game was one of the few games that supported the SEGA Net, the console attachment allowing internet access.

Unlike other fighting games of this era, the player moves around in a full three dimensional plane, rather than constantly facing your opponent in a side-on perspective.

Notably, the mecha designs for all installments of the series were created by robot designer Hajime Katoki, known for his work on the Gundam series.

What are your top favorite mecha designs?

And, if you could make a project with all your own content (anything) what would it be?

Oh my goddd i'm gonna have to pass on the second question just because it's such an enormous thing for me to consider and I have like 50 things I wanna do i'd have to laboriously list lol but uh as far as favourite mechs goes -

This isn't exhaustive by any means but some recent "favourite" mechs among an enormous number and their designers would include:

The MAN-010 G-3 Ge Drei by Kazuhisa Kondo

The MSN-04 II Nightingale by Yutaka Izubuchi

The AMX-004 Qubeley by Mamoru Nagano

Justice's "mech" form from Guilty Gear by Daisuke Ishiwatari (?)

The RX-105 Ξ Gundam (Xi Gundam) by Hajime Katoki

Almost too many to list from Evangelion alone but specific mentions go to the Mark 6 and .07 13's Awakened (the white) form, the MP Evas from EOE and both Armaros and the Heurtebise from Evangelion Anima, almost all of which belong to Ikuto Yamashita

Idk! I could keep listing mechs for hours - the Skullma and Zwarth from Dunbine, the Guyver Gigantic if that counts, it goes on forever. Mechs have an incredibly important place in my understanding of design.

So New Gundam Seed is a Thing...

Not to sound like a hater, but do we really need to re-tread this ground? Everything about Seed/Seed Destiny has not only aged poorly, but decreases in quality in comparison to the series the preceded it and the series that have come after it. Just to list a few problems with Seed in general...

The artwork is just bad. It’s bad early 2000s anime artwork that has that unique blend of generic, bland design and lack of style and quality. The transition from traditional animation to digital was harsh, yes we all know that. But Seed/Seed Destiny exemplifies the worst aspects of this transitional period. Sameface is everywhere. Everybody has the exaggerated, lifeless early 2000s anime eyes. If you swapped key character’s clothes and hairstyles you would not be able to tell who is who. The mecha designs are also pretty awful. People don’t like Freedom/Strike Freedom from the actual anime. They like Hajime Katoki’s salvaged redesign. If you look at the actual key design artwork for the mecha in these shows...they are awful. A mish-mash of classic 0079 designs mated with the cool stuff from Char’s Counterattack. Freedom is just an uglier, worse designed Nu Gundam knockoff.

The animation is bad. Tons of repeated frames, recycled footage, static poses...”Beam spam” became a popular phrase in the fandom because of Seed/Seed Destiny having a completely static shot of a Gundam posed with all its weapons out and firing in all directions.

But most importantly the story and characters are awful, and pale in comparison to both the stuff that became before Seed and the stuff that came after. Seed itself is an awkward, ugly, grimdark(dumb) retelling of 0079 where the nation states involved are all irredeemably bloodthirsty and stupid. Zeon is a genocidal dictatorship that dreams of total dominance of the Earth Sphere but we have a intricate and detailed history of how it got to that point in its politics. Seed/Destiny tries to say something about genetically modified people vs unmodified Humans...but it flubs any potential of that thread hard. So much so that by the end a third party lead by an Idol and the main character can effectively end all conflict by the power of the protagonists Godly plot armor. That’s not even mentioning all the behind the scenes drama involved in the production of Destiny...

Do we really need Seed in a post IBO, Thunderbolt and now Mercury world? What does Seed possibly have to offer when it has A: proven itself to be lackluster and B: we have better series with quality characters and superior themes. Seed is popular, I guess? But then I’d say Micheal Bay’s Transformers (Bayformers) is the most popular iteration of Transformers. Would anyone honestly argue that its popularity translated to any semblance of quality?

I don’t know, I’m just worried that after the roaring success of G-Witch injecting much needed new blood and vigor into the fandom we’ll have a lot of people picking up Seed and being disappointed with what they find.

CUTTING WEAKER ENEMIES TO RIBBONS WITH THE SPEED & FINESSE OF A GATLING GUN.

NOTE: Not gonna lie, I've seen some decent-enough gunpla model kits posted on this website, but this piece still takes a massive crap on every single one I've ever seen on Tumblr thus far. It's game over, man.

PIC(S) INFO: Mega Spotlight on the MG [Master Grade] 1/100 Gundam Heavyarms "Endless Waltz" version (IGEL Unit) by Bandai Namco Toys & Collectibles, c. 2021. Mobile suit design by Hajime Katoki.

Resolution at 1200x1200 for all these pics.
