Hmm hmm... you are piquing my interest to watch it, the set's been sitting on the shelf for months and I've only watched 2-3 episodes. > Spoilers follow... > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I love the way Tomino escalates the war slowly over the course of the > 49 ep. series. This is really the format he works best in. Tomino He did a great (not legendary great, but better than good) job with 0079, but I don't think he did a good job with Z, ZZ and V. I think a full-year series demands a lot of the director, and Tomino can't always bring it. So many series fell into an episodic patch in the middle, or worse, developed a bunch of mini-arcs that went nowhere. > really needs the time to layout his worlds and characters, plus the > viewers need time to make sense of them too. Which is why I'm worried > his new 6ep. "Wings of Rean" series. I don't think I've seen a single OVA series of Tomino's yet. (?) His movies (esp. F91) were definitely a disappointment. > Aura power = Newtype power?

I think there are many fundamental differences between Aura and Newtype. With a few rare, but admittedly spectacular, exceptions, Newtype power doesn't manifest in physical form. Whereas Aura is the regular (and exclusive?) energy source of the AB's and is the actual ammunition in the more advanced weapons the Dunbine world. This is just the first one that I can put out confidently. -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
