OMG it’s three dee I find it infinitely difficult to quantify Turn A Gundam (∀ Gundam) as a narrative. After watching it on and off over the course of a few years, I finally finished all fifty episodes this week. This is probably the longest I’ve ever taken to finish a show of any length, [...]
I like my female blond pilots crazy <3 Why does everyone assume that I would be blogging Gundam 00 Season 2? I never said that I would. It’s not good to be overly presumptuous. I mean, it is true that the only thing keeping this blog from becoming a desolate wasteland is my weekly episode [...]
It’s the new Gundam series that’s not SEED! Gundam 00 looks like it’s missing a 7 and I still can’t figure out what it’s supposed to mean. It does look kind of weird and funny if you abbreviate the title to “G00“, so I shall refer to it as such for the rest of this [...]
If you’ve been keeping up with tech blogs or digg, you would have no doubt heard about WikiScanner, a project by computer hacker Virgil. Basically it’s a script that, using the freely-available copy of Wikipedia’s database that is regularly updated, search through every single edits for IP addresses that fall in pre-defined ranges. The tool [...]
Gundam 00 was announced with a short promo that aired at the end of a recent episode of Towards the Terra. Set in 2307 AD, the story revolves around four Gundam pilots who look damn gay and some silly organization that wants to end all wars for good, possibly by fighting one. How many times [...]
Here’s a pretty interesting video of a Bandai plastic model design factory in Shizuoka prefecture, which by the way is just south west of Yokohama (capital of Kanagawa prefecture) and I know that because I just had a test on Japanese prefectures in school today. LOL. Interestingly, according to the video there are a lot [...]
Fresh from the rumour mill. According to Moon Phase Zakki sources, a new Gundam series will start airing October next year. Many valorous spies paid the ultimate sacrifice to bring us this information. Quote: ガンダム新シリーズ、来年10月放送にむけて始動！…らしい。 「天保異聞 妖奇士」の後番、来年の土6は新ガンダム。監督は水島精二氏とのこと。一応、内部リークですが、実際この通り順調に企画が進むかどうかは不明。 Translation: New Gundam series, starts airing October next year!… Apparently. Taking over the time slot of Ayakashi Ayashi, [...]
You read that right: 1/12. Dubbed the “HYPER HYBRID MODEL 1/12 RX-78-2 GUNDAM”, this model kit (if you can call it that) will be on sale in Japan from December 16 for a reasonable price of just 350,000 yen (roughly 3000 USD). Perfect Grade, eat your heart out. 1/12 Gundam. The robot, not the girl. [...]
Located just outside the east exit of Matsudo Station in Chiba Prefecture on the JR Joban Line is Bandai Museum, a place where all true Gundam fans must go once in their lifetime… and not more than once.
I picked up Wrong About Japan (ISBN: 0571224075) by Peter Carey today. I’ve been eyeing this book for months, but somehow never managed to bring myself to buy it until today. Basically, it’s an account by a New York author about his trip to Japan, after being introduced to manga and anime by his twelve-year-old [...]
