Wooosh! Kind of missed a lot of key details. The computer had it's own free-will, people logically appointed it to manage society because humans aren't logical, when they couldn't understand the computer, corporations started hiring Ravens to check it out... Kind of where you come in. Armored Core 3 only leads up to Silent Line (which was a HUGE hit in Japan), just like Armored Core 2 lead up to Another Age. 2:AA-3:SL deal with intense rivalries between corporations, Ravens are the elite neutral party that are hired by those corporations to do things which may be to sabotage other corporations or to test a part. Of course the story is lacking, but you know, it's lacking in a realistic way. You only miss what you're supposed to miss.


On the Gundam topic, I only like one of the Gundam series, and it wasn't because of the Gundams (Mobile Suit Gundam 0083). Gundam Wing would have been good if they didn't do such stupid things, it certainly had the coolest looking Gundams. All the others I can't watch, Gundam Seed is supposed to get good, so I guess I might like that later on.
