Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay, late night boredom inspires some odd things. Here is a perfect example:

A friend and I have made a reasonable guess towards the exact start of the After Colony calendar. I admit, a bit of it is based on conjecture, but then again, so is the same idea with the UC. Here goes...

Fact: Relena's birthday is April 7.
Fact: Her birthday party was held two days after she met Heero.
Conjecture: Since the sun was setting when she found Heero, April 7 was almost over. Therefore, the day they really met was April 8, placing her birthday party at April 10.
Conjecture: Her birthday party was most likely held on a Saturday, so as not to interefere with school or church.
Conclusion: AC 195 is a year in which April 10 falls on a Saturday.

This is where my friend's incredible math brain comes in. Through a process I myself could never hope to understand or mimic, he managed to come up with some data.

-Every six years, the dates repeat.
-This is complicated by the fact that every 36 years, you have 9 leap years, not 8.
-Every 36 years, the dates shift by three days.
-It would take 7 sets of 36 years for April 10 to happen on the same day - or 252 years.
-April 10 falls on a Saturday in 2010.
-Therefore, the next time April 10 will be a Saturday is 2262 - or AC 195.
-Subtract 195 years, and you get 2067.

Therefore, AC 001 is 2067 (or 2068, if inclusive).

Additional important information (novel quote): The leader of the circus, Hawthorne, is proud of the nearly 600 years of history - the founding year was 1667 - but right now he is about to lose patience. It's about the boy he hired just three weeks ago.

If the circus has been around for nearly 600 years, and was founded in 1667, then AC 195 can be no later than 2266 - which fits rather nicely with the supposition that AC 195 is 2262 AD.

As for the technology, most Gundam series tend to reflect the period in which they were made. Obvious examples of this include the Federation uniforms in the original series, which have an almost bellbottom look to them, and Seed's heavy use of Operating Systems as a plot element. Other than colonies, MS, and related technologies, the Gundam worlds tend to be pretty similar to ours, though I'd assume they managed to perfect electric cars by that point, since driving a gas-guzzler inside a colony is a dumb idea.

Makes a good bit of sense, though what Gundamgirl said could also be somewhat accurate. Though really, I doubt that Gundam timelines have any specific AD counterparts, like Une said, being made primarily to reflect on the current time period and the fashions and such of it, while inserting various elements from other time periods. Though yeah... the floppy is kinda weird.

The fashions probably have something to do with Romafeller being so dang traditional.

Capes NEED to come back into fashion, and in the next ten years or so, so I can have one while I'm still relatively young.

Capes rock! They looked great on Treize and Zechs... I think Noin had one too at one point. Problem is, how're you going to keep people from stepping on it... I recall Edna Mode from The Incredibles had a lot to say about capes and superheroes but who says they can't be in the military. It adds flair, doesn't it?

The oriental style of dress hasn't gone away. their still used for traditional celebrations in their home countries......

anyways........ the disc that Hilde used reminded me of my Minidisc player tracks which is sorta like a floppy but not really....... I should look again at that episode I dont' remember it well

But does it have Bluray?
