HJ Mechanics 19: Advance of Zeta Special Feature - Mook Review!

[@borgar1765]

Nice to see they included Fujioka's 25th anniversary message with the TR-S [Hazel Hrair] illustration. Guy has been working on this serious for half his life and half his body has become paralyzed a few years ago, so this is a huge milestone for him.

I’m sure that Moon Gundam and Crossbone Gundam are great stories, but an AoZ anime adaptation strikes me as a guaranteed success

[@borgar1765]

It would definitely be very unusual given the nature of the fights and mobile suits, plus half of it would be a courtroom drama

[@zacharyradford5552]

AoZ is too mature for what they try to push out nowadays. Maybe OVA specials like Thunderbolt and Origin.

Would really love to see those AOZ resin kits fully painted, especially the Dandelion! Looking forward to it

[@xXswagy0l0blazeit420]

I would definitely like to see the Strike Dog section translated and on video, especially with your input

[@Tuna13]

You can watch scenes from Watership Down for how to pronounce the names of some of these Gundam units.

[@ZakuAurelius]

Pronunciation isn’t the issue for me, it’s remembering which ones are which 😵‍💫

As a Votoms Fan I'd Dig that. Thanks for Sharing the Mook Bud

[@gohom3882]

the hizack and gm color schemes are beautiful

[@brushfire248100]

I bought the magazine that came with advanced of zeta decals in it. The standard release HGs were actually nicely detailed. They are just hard to find and rarely printed by bandai. But the AOZ expansion sets from p-bandai mix well with the standard HGs.

[@gargooletz]

I really love the Hazel Custom and recently was able to get my hands on HG kit. Want to push my skills a bit with it to do the design justice. Now to find AoZ decals... seems they're super hard to get (at least in Europe).

[@hammerheadshark45]

i love AoZ designs so much and after watching just a bit of this video i decided to look for where i can buy this for myself. i love having physical reference material and i somehow haven't picked up any gundam modeling or art books yet! so i nabbed this and the recent kenki fujioka art book

[@RobCartwright]

Man I love Hazel suits. I was finally able to preorder a P Bandai Haze’N-Thley II today!

[@anastudioofficial]

23:34 So Daisuke san design Faiz RIder belt , Double belt and new Amazon belt .........Very cool

[@mehblarg5011]

A lot of these kits in the mag are all kitbashes long before the range got actual kits. A lot of kit photography is recycled from the hobby dengeki days. Hence why they used Stickers and such, there were no decals.

[@danielcunningham8956]

Yes to votoms videos! Scopedog needs for love and attention lol

[@timothymwu]

Interesting to hear your comments on the kits…. Read an article about those builders before, they usually receive multiple kits and need to complete within a short amount of time. Hence their built for publication aren’t perfect…. Your judgment maybe a little harsh… 😢

[@CCCCCC-ic6rx]

Hue hue to be fair to the modeler, I wouldn't speak about missing paint in spots like the feet bottoms with that blazing god gundam hand aka the literal main attraction 😅

[@zinkzenefale3696]

after inle, fiver also queenly... im still waiting someone for making trs el-ahrairah

[@vustvaleo8068]

the AoZ Mobile Armors if made into a 1/144 scale kit will make the HGUC Neo Zeong smaller by comparison, lol.

[@borgar1765]

nah the biggest ones are still around the same size, if anything a tiny bit smaller actually

[@tubetop123]

I have that Macross VF-1S !!

[@rockerslosangeles4184]

AOZ rulez

[@user-un9dy6xd1w]

The thumbnail includes what appears to be an anime depiction of a MS from Advance of Z. Is there an anime related to this story? I’m not familiar with Advance of Z but I’d love to watch a new MSG UC anime

[@hammerheadshark45]

as far as i'm aware it's just in novels, manga, and design artwork. i don't think there are any official translations either despite how popular AoZ is

[@theredrock5783]

It's only a Manga and Novel

[@RADkate]

there are literal frames of animation from the hazel though

[@borgar1765]

no, only mooks, manga, novels and design sketches

[@borgar1765]

@@RADkate strictly speaking TR-1 [Advanced Hazel] had a 3 second or so cameo in the Zeta movies, showing its back, but I'm not seeing that in the mook. It's all drawings and model pictures.

[@joelwismer]

I’d rather see a tutorial on a Dougram kit instead of the scope dog kit 😉

[@saruki0132]

woundwort in the mook has bootleg yellow.
