Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky

Post by TypicalStandUser »

In the same year of when Kamen Rider Amazons came about, Gundam also had a darker and edgier entry that's even horrifying than Iron-Blooded Orphans Season 1. And to this day, it's still an ongoing manga, staying strong and bloody since 2012.

I was able to watch the compilation movie of the first four episodes. Holy mother of Zod, are the kills horrifying, the usage of child soldiers in dangerous conditions that make Tekkadan's lifestyle tame...
Spoiler
SACRIFICING LIMBS just to pilot a damn spruced up Zaku and our hero (if you could EVEN call him that) blasting that guy who chose to lose his limbs with a Hannibal speech


There will be a 2nd season this coming March to the end of June, one episode a month. Knowing the Gundam franchise, there might be another compilation movie. I will build that 1/144 High Grade Atlas Gundam.

Thunderbolt is the shit. I haven't checked out the anime yet but really enjoying the manga, and I'm not even that much of a UC baby.

While the four new episodes of the Thunderbolt OVA this year were great, kinda felt anticlimactic to show the South Seas' leader then end the season.

There better be another set of episodes next year...

Of course, after the release of S02E04/Episode 8, Sunrise announced the compilation movie for the 2nd season. Out in theaters November 18 and only out for two weeks then the Blu-ray rolls out on 12/8. For us Americans, Anime NYC will also have screenings of the movie for the duration of the convention.

Personally, I'm fine with this format.

Hope there's a limited edition HG 1/144 Atlas to sell during the roadshow.
