Gundam 00 — Episode 16
The cardinal laws of Gundam story-telling: When things go wrong, it just means that it’s time to throw new Gundams at them, and when animators fall behind schedule, it’s time to do a recap episode and disguise it as real … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 15
This is one predictable episode. I mean, the title “Broken Wings” pretty much spoils any element of suspense that Sunrise’s scriptwriters can possibly muster, assuming they try at all. So yeah, the Gundams all get owned in a spectacular fashion, … Continue reading
Anime DVD industry approaching limit
Anime! Anime! has an article up about the lack of growth in Japan’s anime DVD industry. (Link is in Japanese.) The article focuses on DVD sales in particular, which traditionally does quite well in Japan. It also makes some comparisons … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 14
This episode is quite interesting. It’s a build-up for the huge battle that is coming soon, so there’s a whole bunch of talking and I like talking episodes, as long as it’s not mostly teenage angst. There are some new … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 13
Oww. My head is spinning. I think I’ve been sleeping too much these days after coming back from Japan. Episode 13 serves to conclude the Azadistan chapter, laying the way for the new OP/ED next episode.
Lucky Star in Saitama
Today was almost as tiring as yesterday because I had to lug my 2.5kg laptop around. An EEE PC would really come in handy when I’m traveling. It’s the fourth day of our little adventure in Tokyo and we took … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 12
This episode is pretty awesome because it does not have 10 minutes of contrived Allelujah emo, and it has some politics and background information about the world of Gundam 00! I love those. And of course, like all the other … Continue reading
Appleseed: Ex Machina Contest
This one is for North Americans only. Full disclosure: I was contacted by M80, a grassroot marketing agency, who is representing Warner Brothers. Since I’m such a sellout and I’m lazy to fill this blog with actual original content, I … Continue reading
Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu
The official Haruhi.tv website has been replaced by a fake 404 error with five form input fields. After entering K, N, S, A, K and clicking the button, you will be presented with a console terminal running Yuki’s escape program.

Gundam 00 — Episode 11
Yet another boring episode. I think someone should ban Sunrise from making any “character development” episodes because frankly I don’t give a damn about the Gundam Meisters. In fact, let’s just turn all the Gundams into unmanned weapon systems that … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 10
Eh. I think this is the kind of episode that most people would enjoy. It has some fighting (lame), character development (lame) and plot development (what plot?), all the jazz that people claim to watch Gundam for. But I didn’t … Continue reading
Gundam 00 — Episode 9
This episode is a pretty good one because we are finally seeing some semblance of actual combat tactics being employed. Also, it has some character development for Felt, which is good. (But maybe not. Refer to the last line of … Continue reading
