    Gundam Reconguista in G An unexpected return to the Gundam franchise by its creator Yoshiyuki Tomino with mixed results. Reconguista definitely does not make a good first impression. The first few episodes are confusing and disjointed, bombarding you with information but providing little...

    What book are you currently reading?

    The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler. It's fun to actually read a novel after such a long break. Honestly the core appeal to the story is detective Philip Marlowe and how is approach to the case. A dry wit is to be expected but the funniest thing about Marlowe is his utter refusal to engage with...

    Shin Ultraman: UK cinema release 11/01/2023

    Fantastic. Thanks for heads up. I loved Shin Godzilla and have zero experience with Ultraman. So here's hoping Shin makes for a good starting point and brings more of the Ultra series to the UK.

    My orders from the Anime Limited sale all showed up. Fullmetal Panic Invisible War and Gundam 00 The Movie arrived first. Followed by Re: Zero Parts 1 and 2, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz and Inuyasha Season 1. I also got Reconguista in G Movie 3: Legacy in Space. Which is a big, fancy import...

    I adore Turn A Gundam so I recommend that, along with Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky & Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counter Attack.

    One Piece Film: Gold What a waste of a genuinely great idea for a Shonen franchise movie and lovely soundtrack. A heist film staring the Straw Hat Pirates? Robbing a casino vault using all their crazy and varied powers? Brilliant idea. There's so much you could do with all their personalties...

    Gundam Reconguista in G Ep 3-15: The show is infamous for being confusing and it feels like that reputation is primarily based on the first 6 episodes. Which is understandable because a lot of the early stuff is very jarring and strange, especially on how hard it is to get a grasp on Bellri as...

    Yeah it was pretty surprising to have an Evangelion section but not see anything to do with 3.0+1.0. It's good that the original series is still in print though.

    Got a binder for the A4 art I’ve got from conventions (hoping to frame some of them at some point) and some empty boxset cases for Blu Rays. I also got Cowboy Bebop The Movie and One Piece Film: Gold from Amazon. And my preorder of Princess Principle Crown Handler Chapter 2 from MVM

    Gundam Reconguista in G - Episodes 1 & 2 I watched up to around Episode 7 last year before stopping. So I've decided to start over again & take notes. Episode 1 throws out a lot of information about the different factions, the Kuntala, religion, countries etc. Keeping track of all that is...

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    I wouldn't be too worried about DOA fanservice. Because Nioh 2 was PlayStation exclusive by Tecmo Koei & Team Ninja and had their trademark bouncing breasts, as did Bandai's Tales of Arise. Street Fighter 6 & King of Fighters 15 also have some racier stuff and nobody complained. I am more...

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    They have released a third trailer for the upcoming Trigun Stampede series at AnimeNYC. A series that promises to be a reinvention of the franchise using the original manga as a base while re-interpreting major elements to create a new story and timeline. The second trailer was primary focused...

    IT'S A GUNDAM! The Gundam Home Release Checklist

    A deviant part of my mind is telling me that £100 for Tomino's last Gundam project is a smart investment. The rest of me remembers that I still haven't finished Reconquista in G yet. So I'll do that instead.

    Saw One Piece Film RED in a totally empty theatre yesterday. Important Notice: Film RED will spoil events and characters up to the most recent arcs of the manga. The only other One piece films I've seen are Strong World, Film Z, Stampede and Dead End Adventure. RED is probably the best of these...

    Thanks for the advice. It looks like the place I'll be staying is completely fine with holding onto parcels until I get there. So I'll be okay to put in an order tomorrow then all I have to worry about is geo-locking.

    Cyber City Oedo 808 Episodes 2 & 3 - It’s a series about 3 macho tough guys solving crimes and fighting their way out of trouble. There’s no overarching plots, just vignettes into these people’s adventures in this cyberpunk landscape. By the end I was really enjoying it. Episode 2 just has too...
