After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

Zodiac Emblems
1 year 4 weeks ago
"I drew a cast of characters that were members of the zodiac before. However, I did not really have a good way to represent them until now. And thus, I present, the emblems of the zodiac.The top 13 are the 12 zodiac members and the alternate zodiac member. The bottom 12 are the evolution forms. Unlike the regular zodiac members, Ophiuchus/Serpentarius has no evolution because the form was supposedly "perfect" from the beginning.
Gemini- Gemini is represented by Dexter and Sinistra, each representing male and female. The evolution form fuses both into the chalice and blade forms or a 6 pointed star.
Aries- Is the god of war and is represented by the Gigas. The locked form is a depiction of passive aggression whereas the evolution symbol depicts it with its blades brandished.
Aquarius- Is represented by a rather regal appearance and is sumbolized in a way like a chess piece. Its evolution form simply expands on the grandeur.
Leo- Is represented by a coat of arms, a pair of lions facing outwards. The evolution form points them inwards into a "king's crest".
Taurus- Is represented by a horned giant standing amidst a landslide. However, its evolution form depicts it in the opposite situation, that of a giant seated on a throne.
Scorpio- Depicted as a sorpion creature that is of ambiguous nature. Those "claws" are actually depicted as cannons. The evolution emblem simply expands on that part.
Sagittarius- The centuar. In this case the original form is similar to that of a joker in appearance. However, in the evolution form, it lowers the focus on blades to focus more on the use of bows.
Cancer- A bird (yes I hated the crab idea) and the only one that is not quite symmetrical. When it evolves it returns to the symmetrical form and unfurls its wings.
Virgo- basically an angel. Self explanatory. The upgrade simply makes her more... bright.
Libra- A judge that presides over the others. It evolves into something more offensive.
Pisces- Depicted as a cross between a leviathan and a whale. Its evolution gives it much greater flippers.
Capricorn- Depicted as the goatlike dragon in a sealed form. The evolution unlocks its wings and gives it a more fearsome appearance.

Gundam SEED, 00, and Remakes

"I almost forgot. The only gundam in this series that is a ripoff is the O Gundam for one reason. It is made by the same artist who DESIGNED the RX-78 which pretty much TELLS you that the gundam is YES a carbon copy save for a GN drive.Other than that, the other gundams are all original in their uptake.
The Astraea is the general central mech it being the jack of all trade. It has variable weapons. The design aspect is sharper and more dynamic appearance than most other beginner suits.
The Sadalsuud actually deviates from a majority of Gundams because it has cannons as arms and the fact that it trades off the V fin for a forehead mounted sensor.
The Abul Hool is completely original in that it is the first Gundam ever to have absolutely no arms whatsoever (the "arms" are permanently connected) and is in fact completely a fighter jet in MA form.
The Plutone Gundam is perhaps the only Gundam ever to have so many verniers on its body but its weapons are nothing spectacular.
The Exia Gundam is unique in that it is the only Gundam in the series ever to completely emphasize physical combat so much over long range combat sporting an overhaul of 7 melee weapons to 3 ranged. (and 2 of those are just vulcans)
The Dynames Gundam trades that off for being one of the few sniping Mobile suits in a long time. It also has the unique "sniping eye" that is not found in any other gundam to date.
The Kyrios Gundam has a completely original transformation in that it not only has an MA form but it can also carry a missile bunker into battle. It is also the only Gundam ever to make use of the shoulder guards as a focus in the transformation.
The Virtue is the only gundam ever to sport the fat suit not counting another Gundam who is larger still since that one isn't all that fat (its just a Destroy that's smaller and differently). It also the only Gundam to carry the beam sabers IN ITS KNEE. Not only that, but it is the first Gundam within another Gundam, Nadleeh. And given Nadleeh's nature, it is also the only Gundam ever to have "hair".
Next, we have have the 00 Generation.
The 00 Gundam does away with a big tradition called "the wings" that Gundam has for a long time. The tradition of Winged Gundams has been traded for Exia's Dual GN verniers, the first time a Gundam has jets on its shoulders.
The Cherudim Gundam has no visible unique aspect except for the feet which i have never seen before.
The Arios Gundam brings the Kyrios' unique aspect even further as the shoulders are not only part of the transformation, the entire front piece of the aircraft ARE the shoulders.
The Seravee Gundam is also the second fatsuit Gundam in the series and it pulls it off even better. It has guns on its knees (Holy crap...) A Bazooka that splits apart (yeah you wing zero fanboys, you can't say its copying when the gun is split to get a powerup instead of joining them together). Did I also mention that the Seravee Gundam is also the first Gundam to have a whole second head on its back?
The other CB Gundam is the Gundam Rasiel. So far it has the 00 flavor but I don;t see much specialty about it other than the GN arms Sefer.
And Union Flags pwn the Leos and Taurus units."

"The problem was that SEED is a remake. White ship (Archangel, Trojan Horse), The same legged docking bays, Single white suit facing opposition. The only difference is that the enemy has Gundams too, the stolen suits (hated that theme). but we definitely have vast similar elements, Skygrasper, Destroy (Big Zam anyone?) and of course the central white suit. There is also the Seed element which pretty much RIPS OFF NEWTYPE and the Zeon which pretty much is the pre-Zaft idea. Heck, Zakus, Ginns, DOMs, GuAiz, they ripped EVERYTHING OFF!Hell, the only remotely original character is Athrun Zala, one of the few main characters ever to run a Red/pink/Maroon suit and still dominate the antagonists with it. He is the only one in the series who has not sold out to Dragoon pods and special gimmicks.
00 on the other hand forsakes most of the other elements for a more modern feel. They got Gundams but none of them are swiss army knives. (Except for Exia since he literally is swimming in blades) but that is besides the point. Most of the suitd are built for a purpose and the beautifully made Union Flags are a testament to how they have updated the mobile suits to a more modern feel. Also, NO STOLEN GUNDAMS (huzzah!). Ali is an exception but he did it in a badass way and it wasn't even like he just jumped into the cockpit. He killed Micheal just to get a new Hot rod. The only problem I have is that there are no prominent female pilots. (No, Nena is annoying, she does not count.)"

Trailer of Second Season
1 year 2 months ago
"Well at least it ain't a revival. Mu la Flaga should have stayed dead. At least now we have a legit way for the "same" character to return without screwing around with series cliches. Setsuna is also speculated to being the leader of the fourth set of Gundams (yes, its true. The current Lockon doesn't have the leadership qualities of the past one. Hallelujah is in the poor zone. This leaves Tieria and Setsuna and it is also speculated that Tieria is the one who personally hands the role to Setsuna).However, a number of extremes have popped up. Contrary to the stereotype, Louise Halevy has become an Ace GN-X pilot (I saw that coming) and I friggin love that.
Exia was fighting in a half destroyed state, which means that during the interim of the 4 years, Setsuna was fighting with a broken Gundam. Ouch... Saji definitely needs to save his ass.
And come to think of it, Soma Peiris is looking like a Homemaker. 0_o

The kind of anti-heroes of the main bunch. Their weapons are rather more menacing then the others in their organization for a reason.

More new gundams?
1 year 7 months ago
"Comparably, they are more like Code Geass Knightmare frames (even moreso now that they have lances) but thing is, they can be considered Gundams because there are mass produced suits that are labeled Gundams like the Raysta and the Deep Forbidden (yes this is a mass produced unit). The units they were based after were all Gundams and these units while being mass produced, still have the traits of the Gundams. The GN-X units are also considered Gundams because although the color scheme is rather bland, they still carry a lot of the Gundam traits. And frankly, they do not have the traditional visor or mono-eye faces either."View

"The GN-T drives produce a particle that damages cells from the reaction caused which means that Throne uses the more dangerous suits.
Saji definitely is going against the Gundams at this point. But I can probably already imagine him piloting a mobile suit with a GN-T drive.
Lockon has the greatest likelihood of being dead. But you never know about these people. They just LURVE bringing the main characters back. Mu la Flaga ripoff scene!XD
Nena is probably going to do that on Earth though and draw the attention of Grahm Acre.Grahm had better survive though. His piloting skills are... amazing."

"However, keep in mind that the ship is built with a GN Drive Tau. And it has docks for 3 units, not 5. They will have to repair and upgrade all four suits in the next season. However, it is pretty cunning, what they did. They forced their destruction so that during repairs, they can upgrade each unit accordingly. The question is who the pilots will be."View

"The Tau drives work quite differently to the regular GN drives though. They need to be recharged very so often although this process is not limited if multiple GN drives are used to facilitate the recharge process. The Alvattore is a prime example as the 7 GN drives that it has been installed with are not as limited in ability as the GN-X and Gundam thrones.And as we said before, we already know what Trans Am does."

"Well as said before, Gundam tends to stick with the main characters. Lockon's death is definitely ambiguous but it would be more plausible if he stayed dead. but if they are bringing him back, then Sarshes will be back too. However, in Gundam, enemies die either really quickly, or get drawn out to some strange point. Alejandro Corner MIGHT die as Livonze seems to be running things behind the scenes and Alejandro may be just a pawn. Exia may be destroyed during a suicide attack at Alejandro's GN generators. it is also highly likely that Lasse may die too. However, Setsuna has the highest success rate for living as-1- He is the main character.
2- He has not settled anything with marina Ismail and leaves something to be desired.
3- His goal is to live. Killing him off ruins the whole idea.
Allelujah is tied to Sohma Peiris so as long as she lives, he lives.
Tieria may still have some storylines with Veda and Livonze so he should stay alive.
As long as Sarshes stays dead, we can expect Lockon to stay dead too."

"Keep in mind that Felt's parents were also Gundam meisters. She may be spurred to follow in their's and Lockon's footsteps so there is a chnace that she becomes a gundam meister. Besides, someone has to replace Setsuna as the immature Gundam meister because even Setsuna has to grow up. Felt is 2 years younger and thus her role may fit in the time lapse. Besides, the original GN drives are still intact for all units (the Kyrios and the Exia's status remain ambiguous) so the next season may bring about the fourth generation of celestial being Gundams. As stated before, in the time lapse, years may pass and the Gundam's combat data will be analyzed to create new ones.Also, if you noticed, the other characters are all using false GN drives. This means that no matter what they do, they will never truly match Celestial being. At least not until they make real GN drives."

Trans-Am system?!?
1 year 8 months ago
"There is enough information for me to piece together how it works.We know for certain that the GN drive produces particles. However, the way they are used are based on their distribution. The sprinklers can be used for the dispersion of particles in order to disable communications or for propulsion, neither using enough to drain the suit. However, in episode 12, Lockon told Haro to cut the flow of particles from the sprinklers and concentrate them into the weapons, which means that the particles in the suit given off have a finite amount. This means that even though the GN drives last forever, they still give off a limited amount of particles over time. The next is in the way that the GN Bazooka works and its connection to Trans-Am. In episode 15, we get to see the Virtue use the GN Bazooka at full power and then he notes that the GN bazooka is required to restore its particles until the next shot. While charging, Exia had to cover for it because while it is compressing the particles, it cannot produce a GN field.
Now the question is, why do I say that the drive does not compress the particles? Mainly because of the things called Ptolemius and GN arms. The Ptolemius does not actually have a GN drive but it operates using GN particles. The same goes for the GN arms. However, even without the GN drives, they are still capable of fighting with similar weaponry, which means that it is not the drive that controls how the suit is used at all, it is the machines themselves.
Also, the the concerns about Trans-Am. When it is activated, it brings up a gauge that reads the amount of particles left in the machine. Under the effects of Trans-Ams, the stored particles are used to saturate the machine itself. With the amount distributed, it increases the overall abilities of the machine. The enhanced movements can be attributed to the increased amount of particles spread through the use of the GN sprinklers. The color change can be attributed to the entire suit being converted to a GN active state, similar to the way GN blades work although this one is just a theory of mine. However, as displayed by the Virtue, Trans-Am is based on stored particles. It fired off a shot that is greater in power than its normal form and did it in very little time. Doing so also sapped the greater majority of its power from the Trans-Am gauge (more than 3/4th of the active limit). The suit themselves probably have a limiter that prevents them from losing too many particles as a result of the battle. This is probably the limit that they can still remain functional but not at combat readiness and until the particles are recharged, they cannot really fight. If you look at the Trans-Ams gauge, you'll notice that there is a slight division line that separates both halves of the Trans-am gaug, leaving a small portion off to the side. Once the gauge drains to this line, the Trans-Am is immediately shut down where the suit has used up the particles down to the emergency amount."
