Reader’s Question:
I came across Gunpla models for Gundam Jirius and Gundam Eight, but I’ve never heard of these series before. What are they? Are they from a really obscure work like École du Ciel?
Discovering the World of Gunpla: A New Adventure!
I was scrolling through some online forums the other
day, and I stumbled upon a question that piqued my interest: “What are Gundam Jirius and Gundam Eight?” Honestly, I had never heard of them before, and it got me thinking about how vast the Gundam universe really is. Imagine my surprise when I found out that these are actually from a brand new series! It’s amazing how the franchise continues to grow and evolve. One user mentioned that the first chapter is set to launch in the next issue of Gundam Ace. Can you believe it? Just when you think you’ve seen it all in the world of Gundam, something fresh and exciting pops up! I can still remember the first time I laid eyes on a Gunpla model. I was a kid, and my dad brought home a Gundam Wing model. It was like magic—snapping those pieces together and seeing the robot take shape was such a thrill!
My Gunpla Journey
As I reminisced about my childhood, I chuckled at how I used to arrive at the hobby shop way too early, just to get my hands on the latest models. I’d wait there, eyes sparkling, imagining all the cool battles I could create with my new Gundam. And let me tell you, I never went in without a stash of snacks—I had a knack for munching on way too many chips while assembling my models. Those crumbs and tiny pieces of plastic made for quite a messy workspace, but it was all part of the experience! Now, as a dad, I find myself sharing that joy with my own child. We’ve built a few models together, and it’s heartwarming to see their eyes light up just like mine did. There’s something special about bonding over a shared hobby, even if it means a few late nights and a lot of glue on our fingers!
What’s Next for Us?
With the new series on the horizon, I’m excited to dive into the world of Gundam Jirius and Gundam Eight. I can only imagine the adventures that lie ahead! It’s a reminder that the world of Gundam is always changing, and there’s always something new to explore. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
