To all those asking about the Naruto comparisons, it's simple. Naruto is kind of series where you can say it's some stupid crap popular with kids when you want to make an insulting comparison with something by saying it appeals to the Naruto crowd. And I would guess that most of the people who make...

These shenanigans over Gundam Age remind me that I was thinking of a good "slaying the sacred cow" for the next Chaos Theatre. It came to me during the innovation segment, but I was just reminded of it now. The topic would be "realism" in robot anime and how people tend to hold t...

When I was younger I used to get bent really out of shape when the next series was something I didn't want, but now that cartoons don't rule my life and I just see gundam animes for what they are....high production toy commercials, it doesn't bother me so much. After all I have far too much tv/movi...

As far as I know, they say nothing about you personally. But you as a class of people, as in you, the people who liked the 00 movie? They say the same things about you that you said about them, the people who don't like this movie. So, in the interests of everybody, please drop the talk about peopl...

Of course, they say the same thing about you, so let's leave the bashing of people who don't agree with you at the door, guys. Wait what do they say about me now? Also anyone remember the Gundamn@MAHQ podcast where Chris pretty much exactly calls how the masses are going to react to the movie. It's...

For the record, the subs of the movie are already out for those who aren't aware of it yet. But the masses are already hating and whining about it just because it reminded them of Macross or Nadesico. For incredibly petty and trivial reasons for the most part of course. I've seen some mind-blowingl...

I received the confirmation e-mail for my discount with the policy today for those curious. Dear "Insert Name Here", This mail is confirmation that you have successfully renewed your subscription to Gold – 33% off 12 Months. This renewal goes into effect on January 1, 2011. Here is a descr...

I called Xbox Live to cancel my subscription and they apparently wanted to keep me (or people in general) on so bad that they offered to cut the price of my subscription effectively in half to 39.99. I'm now paying less than I did before the price hike, which is a good enough deal for me since the o...

I've noticed the whole Gundam infighting thing has especially intensified since the Gundam 00 movie came out. On some of the boards I frequent whether Gundam Seed>Gundam 00 or UC and such is almost all some people talk about. How did we get on this track where instead of Gundam fans appreciating the...

I guess it's kind of a new phenomenon but the whole fanboy rank voting wars wasn't pointed out and ridiculed during the topic. Basically what this one is all about is that the die hard fanboys will spend hours making fake accounts and spamming scores in favour of their favourite shows and unfavourab...

Gundam Unicorn Vol. 1 is for now the all time best selling animated blu-ray in terms of 1st week sales in Japan after taking the title from Madhouse's Summer Wars which held it for only a few days. The only blu-ray release that managed to outsell Gundam UC this past week was Michael Jackson's This I...

Late to the party here. Currently I've been advising and helping ease in all the new viewers that seem to have flocked to Gundam Unicorn based I imagine upon the exceedingly high production values in all categories. This has been going on for the greater part of the night, but it's pretty much my dr...

Battlestar Galactica was a great series although I don't think it quite reached the heights of Moore's prior sci-fi entry Star Trek DS9 even though it had a similiar style and strength in trying to build a family out of an isolated crew. It's kind of hard to top Gul Dukat who stands alongside the li...

The one thing I don't get about the lead up to Unicorn is that everywhere I go people seem to just absolutely hate the theme song by Chiaki Kuriyama and think she can't sing at all. It makes me wonder if these people have actually sat down and listened to it and thought about the actual context it w...

Well, that's a poll about Japan, and I also don't place too much validity in the findings because it's from right now. The reason I don't put stock in it is because in this last decade, Gundam has gone out of its way to be more female friendly with the shows that aired. I've seen a lot of American ...

One thing about the Gundam being a male dominated franchise comment; while that might be true in terms of the series being filled with predominantly male characters I recall seeing a gender poll where Japanese males and females were asked seperated to name their favourite anime franchise. For males ...

According to various Japanese music sites including CDJournal, Chiaki Kuriyama of Kill Bill fame (in which she played the sadistic school girl Gogo Yubari) has been tapped to do the theme song for Gundam Unicorn which will be entitled Ryuusei No Namida or Tears of the Shooting Star.

[trollvoice]Oh my gods you guys this is going to be suck a trainwreck I can't even believe they'd be so stupid to make more of this garbage because it sucks dude.[/trollvoice] I had a feeling we'd be getting more Code Geass and am pretty psyched to see what kind of project they have in mind. I think...

Gundam 00 in particular struck me as them just clearly not really caring and wanting to get the shipping pairing business settled as quickly as possible for the key characters so that they could move on with the plot and resolution to all the threads. Also if I recall Mizushima himself said that he...

Hmmm..so I'm not the only one who questions the near deification of Shoji Kawamori by certains fanboys. I think that piece of straight talk can be applied to a lot of things though. Just because somebody who worked on something good worked on something else doesn't mean it's going to be a masterpiec...
