星を継ぐもの

So I just finished watching the Zeta Gundam A new translation OVA trilogy, and while it was kinda jarring to see the really awesome updated animations next to the extremely dated '85 version, the story was pretty amazing. A bit hard to follow, but Tomino's skills as a director were very apparent. Its too bad Seed and Destiny lacked the mature feel of the original Gundam and Zeta.

That said, perhaps I'm alone in this, but Emma Sheen reminded me a lot of Lunamaria from Destiny. Not so much in the strong, maturity of the fashionable brunette, but in the fact that she inherited the Gundam from Kamille, and the skill she was portrayed to have. Seriously though... Luna was a Zaft RED, they don't give their colours away to just anybody, and did she ever achieve anything significant!? Was Tomino the only gundam writer capable of making female pilots feminine AND badass >_<? But that's a story for another day - no, today we're here for a much better reason!

So, since Luna was my favourite of the CE heroines, and Emma Sheen was an awesome UC gundam pilot, AND the Gundam MK-II was a pretty sweet machine.... Gundam MK-II Lunamaria Custom, Build Booster Ver. is on the way! 

I'm thinking mostly white, with strong red elements, similar to the colour pattern of a GM. Pictures forthcoming alongside my Anaheim Test Hazel~
