This just in, Harmony Gold Founder Frank Agrama is dead. This is the first time I learn that Frank Argama had something to do with Silvio Berlusconi of all people. But either way, my condolence to his family. Has anyone ordered the Chogokin VF-25? I really want it just from the image, but lately my...

Hello there! It's great to see that you are interested in the early history of Gunpla and the official Gundam website. To answer your question, yes, it is true that in the early 2000s, Bandai had a system where you could submit photos of your completed Gunpla to the official Gundam website and rece...

Famous composer Ryuichi Sakamoto has passed away at the age of 71 . I'm at a loss. Honneamise is among the first anime movies I fell in love with, and Sakamoto's soundtracks was a big part of it. Now I'm left with a terrible feeling that more beloved artists of that generation are not long for this...

Tentatively named Sōsei no Aquarion: Myth of Emotions.

Any hope and dream? I'm not a big fan of Logos, so I really want this new title to be closer to Evol.

What are the chance of Mylene or one of her sisters showing up in the next Macross? The oldest of them is over 50 when Delta happened, right? It probably will make more sense for they to show up than their father.

Somebody found an interview with Noburo Ishiguro hidden in AnimeEigo's DVD release of Macross, and posted their finding here: https://www.zimmerit.moe/noboru-ishigur ... interview/

So, there's the catch... NOBODY has a substantial number of VF-19s. The aforementioned difficulties in adopting the VF-19 as next main fighter and its replacement in that capacity by the VF-171 mean that most fleets have few, if any, VF-19s. We're talking single-digit numbers in most of the cases w...

It occurred to me earlier that there is one clear example of political/bureaucratic meddling mentioned in the development of a particularly important Valkyrie. In the "VF Evolutionary Theory" article by Masahiro Chiba in Great Mechanics DX 9 , it's mentioned that after first contact with ...

He passed away at 85 because of heart failure.

R.I.P to a real legend.

Will Kawamori eventually take the jump and make human somehow be able to make Fold Quartz? Or would that be a step too far, because then we will have to account how humanity would change when things like the dimension jump time lag change? Secondly, has the NUNS encountered Bird Human on different p...

Has the NUNS or any colonial fleet adopted a bad weapon platform in Macross? One of my favorite hobbies these days is to read about the drama around military weapon procurement, and one theme that keep popping up is terrible weapons being adopted because of group interests, or their development beca...

After BlazBlue: Alter Memory flopped? Probably not. And why should they? Strive is already the best-selling GG game without any tie-in anime. I don't think they see the need to adapt Guilty Gear for purely promotional purpose.

Define "weird". Macross has had a lot of people work on it over the years, and most creators have at least one slightly bizarre entry in their portfolios. Considering Kawamori's auteur tendencies, practically his entire filmography counts. You know, kind of like feature film actors used t...

A little trivia time: What kind of weird projects were worked on by people involved with Macross? I recently discovered an old eroge game by the name of Critical Point, which was the creation of a Matsuzaki Kenichi, writer of SDF Macross and Gundam.

Don't know if this belong to here, but there is a pretty interesting interview with Shinichiro Watanabe: www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2023/01/26/shinichiro-watanabe-on-making-cowboy-bebop-and-what-he-thinks-of-the-live-action-adaptation/?sh=56f6d4543945 The part about Kawamori kind of track with...

Mecha Press is a mecha-centric magazine (duh) that ran from 1991 to 1995 as a sister publication to Protoculture Addicts You can read the whole thing here. I'm thinking of putting them on Internet Archive later: - 00: https://vk.com/doc581538169_654295148 - 01: https://vk.com/doc581538169_654295162 ...

If you want pictures: https://gbwn.main.jp/Unit_SDGW.htm The links are different category of units. Not lineart but coloured SD pictures as well as the in game sprites. Also, this is also released in Windows in 1998. BTW, the pictures are just included in the CD without encoding and easy to get.(ex...

Is there any lineart of these designs anywhere? They sound really cool, if a bit over the top (but that's to be expected in side stories. Its always nice to see more focus on some lesser used units (we see plenty of variants of the Zaku II for instance, less so for the Jeagan , Geara Doga and most ...

Do you know that in 1997, Bandai released SD Gundam Wars , a strategy game for Apple's Macintosh and Pippin-the worst-selling console ever? And do you know that this obscure game has got some equally obscure mobile suits? This is what I managed to glance from this website using Google Translate. Any...

@Seto Kaiba: I know that everything could be explained with "the author likes it", buy could you maybe... nah, I won't ask you to keep the kayfabe. Just know that not everything could be as "clean" as Macross.
