I shouldn't have to do homework to enjoy an anime. If a show can't make sense on its own without supplementary materials, then it's just a bad show.

I'm actually kind of glad that the battle ended in a draw, since it shows that Ernie's not completely infallible and help illustrates that there's still a divide between equipment and skill. If they'd won I'd have been a little disappointed, but if they'd dominated I would have cried foul. I'm glad ...

Sunrise Eiyuutan is noteworthy for a few reasons. One is that it isn't limited to giant robot anime; series like Samurai Troopers (AKA Ronin Warriors) and Cowboy Bebop have been included alongside Gundam, Votoms, Big O, and others. Secondly, the series has introduced Original Generation-style mecha ...

Preview video of the Pale Rider for Versus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hChWciU-JO0 As much as I hate to invoke the spectre of MvC:I, the Pale Rider really does feel like an attempt to merge the "functions" of Blue Destiny 1 and the Efreet Kai into a single character. The MG as the mai...

And its moveset.
a: Beam Vulcans
CSa: Spread Beam Cannon
b: Beam Sabers

EX: Combination Attack

Some of it is the usual balance patch stuff for fighting games, adjusting characters and moves. But there's a large list of bugs and graphical glitches that they needed to fix, like vulcans firing in the wrong direction or ammunition not being consumed.

I've never heard anything to suggest that this was made by a different dev team than any of the ExVs games. Also, they've added the DLC suits to the official website.

Fun things to note about the first episode: -Char is voiced by Toshihiko Seki, the actor behind Duo Maxwell and Rau le Creuset, rather than his iconic actor Shuichi Ikeda. -Despite the episode drawing specific attention to it (and the fact that basically nobody denies it anymore), they still use the...

Well there's also going to be a beta for the US release, and hopefully they'll iron things out with that. I know I basically couldn't participate in any online matches during the Japanese beta (though I could do some survival).

It looks mostly like issues with the online play, since people were asking for patches for that.

Pale Rider is essentially a bootleg Blue Destiny. It has a bunch of optional equipment sets because it originated from a game: the ground type has the GM's bullpup gun, leg missile pods, and a modified version of the Ground Gundam's 180mm cannon, while the space type has the Gundam G05's hyper beam ...

Also, they're adding the Farsia from AGE to Maxi Boost ON.

Interesting to note that the Gundam Ace scan makes it look like the Pale Rider will be able to swap between its Ground Heavy Equip form and Space Combat form.

BTW, if anyone was interested, the moveset for the G-Self Perfect Pack:

a: Beam Rifle
CSa: Traffic Fins
b: Beam Saber
2b: Tractor Beam
CSb: Photon Torpedoes
ab: Assault Mode
ac: Reflector Mode
ac during Reflector Mode: Omnidirectional Lasers
bc: High-Torque Mode
EX: Backpack Change Attack

Preview video of the G-Self Perfect Pack.

Maxi Boost ON is getting a couple of updates: Firstly they're adding the G-Self Perfect Pack, secondly they're modifying the 00 Seven Swords/G's moveset to include the modified GN Sword II Blaster gimmick seen in the recently released Metal Build figure.

1) Rank Match has been enabled.
2) Boss Survival added to Ultimate Battle Mode.
3) Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulties added to Ultimate Battle Mode.
4) A chance to unlock new units like Barbatos Lupus and Virtue in Extra Battle.
5) New missions that include DLC characters added to Trial Battle Mode.

It's true that he's been studying the mechs for years, but it bugs me because what he did is effectively the same thing as ripping open the front panel, shoving his hands into the mass of wires, and somehow gaining him a level of control over the machine on par with Mikazuki in full Alaya-Shiki Mode.

The main issue with Isekai stories is the idea that a completely average person from our world somehow has the exact set of skills and experiences needed to become a metaphorical god amongst men once he enters a fantasy universe. Kazuma from KonoSuba is a prime parody of this since while he does kin...

I dunno, so far I'm pretty lukewarm on this series at best. I love mecha and fantasy, and I love stories that can pull them off together, but this show isn't really grabbing me. While the second episode was better about the whole "show don't tell" thing, that's mainly because they were don...
