The Corporations of Witch From Mercury [What We Know So Far] 

No audio for me bro

Freaking Corpos.

Damn you Arasaka.... Oh wait....

Armored Core, anyone? Come on, Fromsoft, give me that new AC already. You guys already made loads of money with Souls and Ring.

Arasaka

for correction JNTHED was responsible for the PSP MGS games but not all of the MGS games that still goes to youji shinkawa but as his profile was credited being part of the konami team he was also responsible for the boot sequence display in ZotE 1 which was largely unchanged in ZotE 2

This comment needs to be pinned!

So what you're saying is that Sunrise decided to go for the big guns for MS design here?

@@matthewbrune5490 Sunrise is pretty much the literal monster of the Mecha Anime world.

That's a lot of my favorites

Corporations are known to commit hypocrisy and go against what they said before just to make some extra bucks.

I think Peil is a rogue house here. as there seems to be splintering even during the prologue. as it could be that the Gundam Aeriel is a Peil modified Lfrith with House Earth cooperation.

Its possible that over the years they saw the sheer profiting potential of gundam-types and wanted to develop some of their own behind closed doors. In the end companies wont care about rules when profit is on the table.

I notice that unlike Lfrith or Aerial, Pharact doesn't appear to have any 'remote weapons'. Perhaps Peil is trying to make the system work safely, but is only able to do so by eliminating the 'homing mines' and bit staves of the Ochs units.

"It's okay when we do it."

Fucking Titans, man...

@@mocca3633 yeah Titans…

As long as no one mistakes a boy for a girl because of there name, they should just do fine

Hopefully we get mentally unstable enhanced pilots with vendettas against hong Kong too

Also war crimes

Battle Tech vibes for me

Vibe nothing, Peil Tech's MS are ACs masquerading as Gundams. Inata did good work with ACFA.

Was totally gonna say that. A corporate owned world maybe?

@@bobikoart great minds think alike lol

@@bobikoart Lol we almost actually could be ourselves there.

and battletech

@@flamestoyershadowkill6400 i don't know much about the lore, but i thought battletech was about clans, planetary governments, etc?

As an AC4A fan I second this comment

I do, it was pretty unique.

Gigantic formula is certainly..different

they need to do more of this, one of the things that pissed me off in 00 is how the MS are either copies so similar you have no real way to distinguish who it belongs to(the UNION and the AEU), or they are so diferent, you cant look at it and not think it belongs in another universe(HRL). and even when they are based on designs of others, it makes no sense. no a-law machine look like any throne, nor any CB design, the throne doesnt look like it was based on the CB either. inovator machines do give a hint of being closer to a-law design, but are also so diferent it doesnt really look like they came from the same side either. its just a mish mesh of designs that dont fit together. even in its own line, they dont fit, the ahead looks nothing like the gnx line, that looks nothing like the masurao line, that looks nothing like the gadess line. and they were meant to be evolutions or sister units. now compare with the evolution line of the ginn-cgue-guaiz, and even if you think its a copout, the ginn is similar enough to the zaku, that you can see the design carry over from it to the SD version. or other fun details like the guaiz R having the freedom side raiguns. the same happened with the astray line and the dagger line. they fit the desing philosophy of each side. as a side note, i think that, aside from the atrocious color scheme, the prototype zaku warrior is a balls to the wall design that would become a fan favorite if it showed up in the games.

It’s really cool but it’s not going to unseat UC for me.

@@KennethSee Anything half way competent can unseat UC, Zeon's brain dead barbarous for no reason and EF get magical leaps in tech better then Zeon who had a massive tech advantage which they failed to exploit. Oh and gundinium, shit's wack.

@@Marth667 Zeon doesn't have the resources like the EF has. It's hence why Allies won cause while Axis had some big technology aspects ahead the Allies had way more resources to out develop them in the long term. Plus really Allies themselves had still some technology advantages just not as high first but became higher as the war went on. Anyway EF leadership was less incompetent in spending their resources let's put it that way.

The Peil mech designer worked on AC, so similarities are a given.

@@omucupunga to be specific the guy worked on rosenthal parts so lancel and hogire

Wait black glint? You mean white glint from ac4 and 4A? Or your talking about the final boss in ac verdict day?

Black Glint Bro’s from an Alternate Dimension

​@@hello-gx6oi Black Glint, the Custom AC that Vatti made for ACFA when he went through and played the entire series. He even recreated it as Black Flint in AC:FoR when Bandai invited him for early access.

So are they more like Japanese Zaibatsu or Korean Chaebol?

Imagine lol. They would be able to Make a Nerfed Version of the Unicorn Gundam cause there's no Newtypes around.

that's my biggest question about the show rn, after the prologue, how are gundam's even legal anymore?

@@wheezer5038 exactly, that's my question as well, not only is Suletta able to use the Aerial at school, but now you have Peil Technologies that created their own Gundam, and the MSDC (or Cathedra like they seemed to called themselves at the end of the Prologue) doesnt react at all? Considering they blow up an entire Research Factory/Colony just to destroy the Llfrith, this is reaaaaaally weird.....

@@wheezer5038 I think the most logical and acceptable explanation prob that it's not Gundam being prohibited. But rather GUND-ARMS (or any GUND-FORMAT PMET Link MS in general). Basically anything that endanger the pilots in ethnical issues are prohibited, not Gundam-type

@@danmakuusou9348 maybe after they took apart Ochs Earth, the Mobile Suit Development Council decided to have companies apply a limiter to GUND-Arm units as a safety thing. Maybe there was a short lived ban on Gundams in general, but they decided to pull back a bit on their stance.

@@wanderingaceminecraftandmo8034 possible

AC 4 and FA were great because no matter who you side with, it has consequences. In FA all choices are just that, choices. Granted going with Old King's route is my least favourite (only did it once for completion's sake) but the other two are both valid. preserve the world order, potentially saving milions, or bring the Cradles down but allow human expansion off the poisoned Earth? In the end I prefer the ORCA ending. It feels more hopeful, to me. What about you?

It's been way too long since I played FA, but it's either Old King route or wiping out ORCA.

@@MaxHDAvenger That's fair I guess. What motivates that choice?

@@chaosgrunt9554 most likely completion sake but it's been awhile since I played FA I probably forgot the motivation on why.

FA?

Figures the company with the Oz emblem would be the first one to get its MS humiliated by a Gundam.

i see it like that as well, im more into jeturk's design. but i really liked that "belive me guys, i totaly didnt genocided that planet last night, and really didnt eat a few babies this morning as part of my breakfast" design from peil.

Would need to be a good 6-7 years later unless the 5 year thing has been lifted

@@Xeno-The-Wanderer or they could pull the same stunt they did with the Galbaldy Rebake, which moved like an IBO suit, hit like an IBO suit, had the full aesthetics of an IBO suit, but it’s “a kitbash of an UC suit” so it’s fine 👀

That's really weird, because there is audio on my end. Not sure what's going on.

@@kakarot197 ye it works now

I'm with you on Grassley. Especially their mass-production units. They push my Zaku-love buttons

@@StrewthStoatPirate hell yeah, they got the monopoly on mono eyes lol

Me too im fascinated by those suits

@@StrewthStoatPirate funny, i saw the jeturk as closer to the zaku with its chunky boi vibe. as a side note, im loving that "imma all abut that evil" vibe from the totaly not a high ranking villain from a super robo series, peil MS. and im loving every bit of its design for it.

well if House Earth is really linked to Ochs Earth Corps, then they would already have the Llfrith's blueprints so that wouldnt be a problem

@@DarkAnon100 that was my speculation coz we don't kniw where sueleta mom are escaped from prologue, but we will find out when the series is on air

Told ya, pretty sure the lfrith UR and thorn is from suleta mother

I was hearing Roundabout from armored core 2

mechanized memories

@@flamestoyershadowkill6400 "To live as I please and die a senseless death. That is what I am, no mere man of flesh."

It's nice to see I wasn't the only one getting serious armored core vibes from this setting.

@@87Kyrosan You're not alone there. The Peil design being done by an AC FA designer just makes it bleed "NEXT" esthetics, and I love that.

I mean, wing and 00 (at least season one) had mechanical aspects, X too if remember correctly... Age had in first season, it seems it depends on how much of the animation studio and team of the production are fans of technical stuff.

my biggest disapointement with seed, is how neither the freedom nor the justice have mono eye. the saddest part is, they could even give the freedom the strike head later, since it does get some damages in, during the botched rescue atempt. they could destroy its og mono eye head, and put in the strike's in its place. maybe adapt fragments of the original freedom head with extra parts from the strike that were lying around in the archangel. they could even make use of the aegis head that survived the self destruct. and i love the freedom design, it is, to me, to 3 MS design alongside the sazabi and the Xi as the best looking ms in the franchise, but making it mono eye would make it probably the best looking hands down.

That could be because the mechanical aspects are not really the main focus of the protagonists. For example IBO, Mika wouldn't have cared abt actuators and drives so they wouldn't show any of that. But comparatively we know a lot abt the mechanical aspects of Gundam Aerial. It used a twin hybrid driver system, having electrical actuators as well as being able to run on GUND when Suletta is in the seat.

Uuuuh gamer.... Did you mean to say autistic or did you mean artistic?

AGE has that mechanical lineages tho

Potential spoiler in my comment. Another point that confirms this for me is that during the event that happened recently, they released photos of the decals for the kits. One of the photos showed the Dilanza and the Balde side to side and both had the Jeturk and what I assume is Guel's personal logo, just a stylized "G" on the shoulder. Bandai has since changed the image and removed the "G" logo on the Darilbalde's shoulder. So it could have been a spoiler but it could also be nothing.

and armored core.

im torn, on one hand, i love the "chunky boi done right" vibe from jeturk, but on the other, im REALLY into the "i eat babies for breakfast" high ranking super villain from a super robo series vibe that machine from peil exudes. grassley on the other hand, is by far the blandest to me. not a fan of the giant jewel thighs.

i noticed that some designs wouldnt feel out of place in diferent, non gundam universes. like the zowort, give that thing a pair of rollers, and it would fit as a nightmare frame.

Kisaragi will always be my favourite corporation in armored core(well i only have played gen 3 so yeah lol)

For me, it's Armored Core.

I doubt they can do that with the amount of space magic surrounding the Gundams in this show like the Aerial

When the Aerial's bits tore through the Dilanza, it gave me the Strike Freedom vibes...

And i love it.

Gundam should have more stories about mercenaries focusing on how they become one and why they do it with the corporations involve in a war.

we need something like the Raven's Nest with a the reveal that the mercenary contractor is infact controlled by an AI and not just some corpo bickering ending up with the result of making NEXTs (read Gundam) being the viable choice... with the entire GUND system bearing similarities to AMS if not at least Human Plus

@@edwardtan1354 that would be a good spin imho

Civilian use, probably. Civilian markets have been rarely explored in Gundam series. I think AGE one is the most developed.

@@nikoladedic6623 Cause Military love ONE standardized system therefore under only one company. Cause familiarity in their opinion is the BEST. The recent USA 6.8mm NGSW Illustrates that. A major factor of selecting SIG over the other two was the fact they contracted and made most of the US military hardware already. That and the New Generation Squad Weapon platform was similar to other weapon platforms including their own which is in service plus including at the same time adapting their new Machine gun. Military wants familiar and unity. As Gundam heavily reflects on Military has AE Fed mostly considers them cause they made most of their stuff. The reason why they started to drop off in the later years cause the Fed wasn't happy of much they also selling to Zeon also so they created the SNRI which is in house Government backed Company. Otherwise AE probably would of kept the top spot still. Also Gundam is mostly for military so not surprising most civilian markets are untouched cause these weapons would of been easily be banned for how sensitive the tech is in them.

@@gerogyzurkov2259 i still wish by the end of it, what general dynamics and textron brought got mix w/ SIG Saur like the new plastic casing from textron and the moving barrel to augment reocil from General dynamics

Perhaps those company could patent a specific technology that came from their MS development, considering the civilization already advancing to space age, some tech from MS may benefit humanity expansion in outer space. Just like the Gundam came from prosthetic tech, maybe they could advance the prosthetic technology from the data or blueprint that came from Gundam development.

@@snippingtool7810 You can't patent military tech imo if conflicts arise maybe. By the time a lawsuit comes though however country or this case companies either gets enough data needed to do something else or drags it out to the point of irrelevantless. That's reasons why there's such things as top secret, national security, and declassified being literally 50 or more years. There things government along with contractors should imo constantly keep the lid on especially such as full capabilities of our entire military.

Same! I also didn’t finish iron blooded orphans yet 😂

Doesnt seem to matter. The kids will all work together in the end to fight against the Masked-mommy

nope. It's an anime that takes place in a school where a students RANK is determined by 1v1 battles. THE COMPANIES ARE THE CLANS 😅 The main character is Ochs/Shin Sei. The waifu is Beneritt. The Jock & Bad Boy is Jertuk. The mysterious loner is Peil. The surfer/stonner is Grassley.

@@orionhan2431 That makes sense, I suppose.

Pretty much confirmed to be her in Ep. 2 when she takes off her mechanical right arm.

i dont think they need to go that far, something like how seed did it, with each side having its own designs is good enough. so long they dont pull a 00 with how sister machines look like they were made in completely diferent universes by diferent races(some of which are clearly not humanoids), i think it will be ok.

What's the full name of the novel ?

@@pauloazuela8488 it’s called “Star of the Cradle”
