So! People have been reporting on the AnimeSuki forums that they’ve been receiving DMCA notices from Comcast regarding the downloads of currently-unlicensed series (Shugo Chara!, Gundam 00, Suteki Tantei Labyrinth, Seto no Hanayome, Nagasarete Airantou, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai). Another user in France apparently got a letter from their ISP forwarded directly from BayTSP [...]

Oh god… the episode was quite good, but unfortunately one of my fears has been confirmed with this episode: the Gundam-suits become more powerful as their pilots become more emo. That’s why Veda chose teenagers to be the pilots, as their chance of losing it is much higher than with an adult. While I can [...]

Received the Suzuka guidebook and Gundam action bases just now. Hee hee.. so happy. Will write a brief note on the guidebook tonight.By the way, for those who thought that there'll be a special chapter on the night before wedding, you'll be kind of disappointed. It's not a proper chapter, it's Suzuka-mon. ^^Anyway, the guidebook came with the illustration from the calendar 2007 and Suzuka V11 LE illustrations. Total 14 pages of illustrations.

I wish I could like these 4 more. I really do. If it weren’t for Sumeragi’s nice cleverage, I’d skip forward all the fighting sequences and just watch the politics (and I normally hate politics!) GW’s fighting sequence were really cool, even though the GW Gundams were also slaughtering, but the impact and the sounds are simply [...]

For those that are still unaware, the current first season of Gundam 00 will only consist of 25 episodes. This is similar to Code Geass whereby the first [...]

Gundam 00 will be getting a sequel. The sequel will start around October 2008. The first season will be 25 episodes and for the second season, who knows? The first episode was great!! Then afterwards all this political talk and the word celestial being say about 50 times or something made it a little bit boring. [...]

Joining the chorus of bajillions of other anime blogs that have no doubt already reported on this, Moon Phase diary posted early this morning with the news that a second season of Gundam 00 is scheduled to air in October of 2008. Speculation arose when it was first revealed that 00 would only run for half a year that it would be followed in its coveted Saturday evening prime time slot by a second season of Code Geass, and while this has not been confirmed the news that the slot will be vacant from April through September is highly suggestive - something has to go there, so why not make it a show that's actually good? Haven't had one of those since FMA... we'll be keeping a close eye out for any further news of a possible Geass sequel. (no more)

This whole episode was bullshit. HD bullshit with pretty beam weapons and better animation than episode 6, but still bullshit. Anyway, the final line by Amuro Ray the narrator did manage to catch my attention for about five seconds. Which is amazing because the line doesn’t even last that long. 「刹那、運命の人と出会う。」 “Setsuna meets the person of his [...]

If Football Clubs were anime, these would be the results. Manchester United would be Naruto.Lots of retarded fanboys.Extensive branding and milking of merchandiseSlick action at times. Arsenal would be Gurren Lagann.Stylish without much substance.Attracted rave reviews recently for groundbreakingly unique style.Not on a big budget. Liverpool would be Gundam.Fans cling onto past glories blindly and are deluded into [...]

So back before the fall season started, it was announced that Gundam 00 would follow a vaguely Geass-esque pattern. Er, not in the sense that it would start out as only one season and then in the midst of its run get a second season announcement tacked on, but rather that what would air in [...]
