No pictures this month? Dayum shame. I thought for sure the MS designs would start pouring in at a steady pace after Prometheus.
Still, at least there's SOMEthing happening in the story. It's better than what we've been getting, especially since it's still a flashback.

I keep going back to the other chapter but then I'm like "I have no idea what he's saying here, so we'll just skip that".
I suppose I could just do a timeline translation or something. :S (Part of me secretly likes the novelization of Preventer 5 )

No, he passed out.
For those interested, here's how Volume 6 ended: Quote:

Just caught up with the latest posts from everybody. OMG! This story makes no sense! The whole Heero being the only one to kill Relena in order to save humanity is so freakishly contrived and poorly thought out that I'm convinced any of us can think of a better continuation to this series in our sleep!! I've read fanfiction 100 times worthier than this. Each chapter that comes out concerning FT or Preventer 5 consistently leaves me thoroughly confused.
Dixneuf (btw, totally pronounceable name ) is the guy at the very end of the original Preventer 5 right? The one with his face covered and sunglasses and it was heavily implied it was Zechs who was disguised as an enemy soldier to save Relena and the hostages? I would've totally LOVED it if it was Zechs! That would've been awesome and would totally make sense. Not to mention it would reunite Relena and Zechs and have them confront their conflicted sybling relationship or lack thereof. But wait, ACTUAL character development in GW? NO, who would want that?! Also, were Relena and Dorothy at one point together when the enemy troops took over? Or were they always seperated. To me, it would make so much sense for these two to try to end up together during this hostage situation. Not only would it make for fascinating character interaction considering these two make for some awesome chemisty (platonic of course) but wouldn't Dorothy make it her priority to keep Relena safe? Maybe I'm wrong but at some point during the show, was it ever mentioned or shown that she wouldn't want harm to come to Relena even with their opposing ideals? Or has my starvation for any relationship depth in GW have me making up memories now? @_@ And Deacon, thanks again for translating that bit for us even though you're having trouble. Is it just me or does Trowa sound uncharacteristically harsh while talking to Quatre when he mentions not wanting to endanger Relena's life? What this crap about the 'small and cunning survive the battlefield?' Uh, dude, this is a HOSTAGE situation. The main mission is to save the very ppl who can't save themselves, you dumbass. If you disagree, then what the heck are you doing there?! Not to mention you didn't think that way in the show when you ditched everything to save Catherine when you saw her in a hostage situation in the monitors. GOD! Does Sumizawa even try?!>.< |

A little off topic but can someone explain the above link to me? Original link is here: http://girlsbydaylight.tumblr.com/post/21591019669/by It almost looks like a video game cover or is it just impressive fanart? |

The art continues to be amazing. Honestly it easily stands above all other Gundam releases when it comes to art.
However there is still a huge disconnect with how everyone looks. Heero and Relena understanable. Wufei/Trowa/Quatra however don't look like they've hardly aged and yet Cathrine and Rasheed both have. Edit: Also I'm guessing that is from Preventer 5 so they wouldn't have aged alot. I'm talking more like Trowa on the cover of book 6 infront of Pro. He hardly looks aged there. |

*squeals* I like Dixneuf's character design!
*clears throat* No, I did not just do that. @Purdys99 Dixneuf is a perfectly pronounceable name. Dix-neuf is 19 in French Part of it could be my awkward phrasing. Then again, he IS rather direct. For some reason he does kick into BATTLEMODE TROWA.

Pictures of the older pilots (I mean, 30 years older) have not been released yet. I know that because Father Maxwell's face hasn't been shown, only his body, and Trowa's hair would be grey.
About the Preventer 5 cover, they do seem to look older to me! At least 17... And Dixneuf is pronounced "disnuf" ("dis" like in "disney", the "u" like in "but", the "f" like in "beef". |

Purdys, that looks like a fanfic waiting to happen (maybe it already is..?)... and if written properly, I would totally back it! It could be better then FT!
Looking through the Pixiv site, I found this other sketch: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.p...ust_id=9874129
