a view from the edge

it’s been 8 years since the HD remaster came out, now it’s time for the new dub.

[justicelaunching]

so you telling me that i’ve watched it 3 times at the movies, just so it could be on netflix ?

(gs and gsd are also on netflix)

[justicelaunching]

now that i’m back from tokyo and managed to unpack.

gs: freedom haul.

clockwise:

Athrun Zala figure. I honestly wasn’t looking in getting this but I passed by a claw game shop and spent a good time trying to get it. An employee at the store felt saw me and my brother struggling so she kinda cheated it.

Poster and stand. The poster is for the soundtrack as a gift with purchase. Stand with Athrun, Shinn and Kira were a gift with purchase for the Movie Walker book. Store: Animate.

Athrun and Lunamaria pictures. Some other gift with purchase from Animate.

Cagalli and Athrun keychains. Store: Strict G (located by the SkyTree)

Clips of Kira, Shura and Agnes. Gift with purchase from Strict G. (You had to spend a certain amount and they would make you pick 3 out of box. Gacha style).

Small little stand of Athrun - a gacha. Just a fluke I got Athrun at first try, wasn’t gonna try for anyone else honestly.

Trading card of Rising Freedom (I must’ve lost Immortal Justice during the travel because I do remember seeing it).

Soundtrack for GS: Freedom. Store: Animate.

Athrun plushie. Got it again at a gacha. Took lots of tries and at one point literally gave up but tried just once more and got it.

Booklets with Asucaga & ZAFT kiddos on the cover. These were given as you were going into the movie theatre. It was one per person (my brother came to watch the movie with me). The trading cards were also in the slip.

Figurearts figurine of Athrun. Got this at the movie theatre. Lots of merch were sold at the movie theatres.

MovieWalker book. Store: Animate.

Two T-Shirts. White one is a long sleeve with a Silhouette of Kira Yamato on the back. The black one is a short sleeve with a Rising Freedom on the back with a shiny fabric. Store: Strict G.

Lots of gift with purchases that I was not expecting.

[justicelaunching]

here we go right off the bat ~

1. Shinn out here with a deeper voice than redubbed Athrun LOL

2. The crying ain’t in sync but i don’t think it was in the original was either

3. The dinosaur cry? A stellar performance I think.

[justicelaunching]

it’s time everyone.

[justicelaunching]

oops i did it again

(also someone in the replies of the post on twitter was saying that the remaster is not even going to be dubbed? it’s just the actual Japanese release)

I could’ve sworn it was already dubbed for Destiny. unless the hate was so bad they just said “fuck if we ain’t releasing this” and called it a day

[justicelaunching]

so my package may have ended up in a fedex factory in Winnipeg because my tracking order says it’s been delievered but not to my house???????

i’m on the phone with fedex and there’s another tracking number associated to this package????

LOL

[justicelaunching]

update: i got it in my possession.

okay okay hear me out

Japanese with English subtitles

New Dub

I can’t add the Ocean Dub clip I recorded but Athrun says: “I think it’s too far along to stop it, I don’t think it’s going to work”.

I don’t know how I missed this, maybe I had just given up on watching the new dub but here we are, 8 months later watching it again 🤦🏽‍♀️

[justicelaunching]

Lacoose is still unbearable to hear

[justicelaunching]

hold on i found something funky that i totally missed when i watched the new dub originally and i am just confused???

have to go back to the original dub to find this shit

maybe even the Japanese with subtitles because what the hell did i just listen to

[justicelaunching]

Lacoose is still unbearable to hear

[justicelaunching]

not me watching the new dub again and still cringing at Lacoose and the new lyrics of Miza no Akashi 😩😩😩😩😩😩

[justicelaunching]

so i got my replacement discs from the ultra collectors set in the mail today.

came packaged in a box wrapped in brown paper so it wouldn’t damage during transit.

left hand side is the replacements with the SD disc at the far left and the two piece remaster set. right hand is what came with the set originally. far right is the SD original with the hd remaster set in the middle.

I’m glad that RightStuf kept their promise on sending whoever bought the Ultra Collectors Set the replacement discs.

to be quite honest, i didn’t care about the replacements too much, especially with the original format because I already have the Bandai release of SEED + the discs from the original set.

I was wondering if they were gonna give a coupon code or something that we could use for when the Destiny Ultra collectors came out … so I read the back (all the discs have this same message on the back)

So turns out there was an issue with the Standard discs as well and oh a “special thank you offer”?

It is indeed a coupon code… that somehow I am struggling to use. 🙈 Tried using it on the Gundam 00 Ultra Collectors and it doesn’t work?

Tried using it on just the discs of Gundam 00 … didn’t work.

Ah well I have until the end of July to figure it out. 

Lastly, the cover was saying to donate the disc to the library. I don’t care about much donating the HD remaster but I know how much of a struggle it is to find the original as the Bandai discs can be expensive.

I’m willing to give one of the copies from the Collectors away.

[justicelaunching]

so it seems like RightStuf is shipping the new discs of the HD Remaster LOL

But they are also sending me a new copy of the original too?

That being said, I would have 3 sets of the original (the bandai discs / the first set from when I got the collectors set) so if anyone wants it.

[justicelaunching]

not someone asking for a sequel to IBO under the GS Eclipse intro video 🤦🏽‍♀️
