Anime & Manga / Re: Mobile Suit Gundam - 30th Anniversary Series

I wasn't really talking about the Mark II, but surely there were other Gundam type mobile suits developed within the Federation during that time? Wasn't the Gundam Development Project already in progress at that time? Didn't they make the Alex as well?

Good RX78, you look rather Katoki.

Because Katoki is the mechanical designer for this series. But Jesus Yamato, why does it have to be ANOTHER freakin' RX-78? Can't they make a new model? To tell the truth, I've had quite enough of that design after watching 0083. Could they not at least have made it an Alex variation?

I myself am not sure what to think about this. People on 4chan are already pondering if this setting even has enough space inside UC to become a fullfletched Gundam series of 50 episodes. An OVA series seems more likely. Personally, I would have prefered Gundam Unicorn.

And I think it was quite obvious that the 30th Anniversary Project would be something UC related.

Alright, I have to admit it, this time, I DID laugh. Nagato becoming an Otaku is simply an outrageously funny idea.

Anime & Manga / Re: Kara no Kyoukai - The Garden of sinners

« on: February 20, 2009, 10:05:31 PM »

For whatever reason, ufotable announced today that there will be a compilation movie for the first six Kara no Kyoukai movies coming out March 14th called Kara no Kyoukai Remix - Gate of Seventh Heaven.

http://www.karanokyoukai.com/news/090220.html
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=68891

Is this really necessary? Do they really think that the movies are too complex for people to understand that they have to make this? Or is it just production strategy? Perhaps ufotable has scheduling problems and needs to buy some time for finishing the final movie, which still has no premiere date for Japanese theatres, kinda like Sunrise with their infamous STAGE 8.5 and STAGE 17.5 from CODE GEASS.

Well well, that duel between Yusei and Rudger was sure interesting. Though in my opinion, there was a little too much revealed and all. Rudger actually being Godwin's brother...well, I actually can see the resemblance. And the way he pulled himself out of the danger, it was to be expected, afterall he's the leader of the Dark Signers and it was way too early to fight the final battle. And now Rally and Martha are dead. I feel sorry for Matha, she was such an awesome character, the way she was treating Jack and Yusei was just hilarious, I would have loved to see her do that to Godwin.

The final scene also kind of took my breath for a second when all Dark Signers appeared. I was waiting for Jack to go "WTF! Carly!", but too bad, she had her hood covering her face. They are really stalling that revelation and I can't wait for it. And now, we have the last of the scenes from the ED becoming reality with Lua facing that other Dark Signer who has Ancient Fairy Dragon next week. Surely will be interesting.

No. That series somehow escaped my vision. An award nomination on a German anime board I go to pretty much made me watch the series because I wanted to know what all the talk is about. And besides, there's a lot of stuff I still haven't seen yet. Check here.

Huh? This was a Haruhi thread to begin with, just that there was some FMA related things here as well. New FMA anime thread is right here.

Get a Lord of Dragons out on the field quickly (one of three), guard him somehow for one turn, then on the next turn, play two flute of summonings and break out three Blue Eyes and a Platinum Dragon #2. Provide necessary defense traps and magic should the opponent expect such a quick play. On a good game, the Platinum Dragon will shoot down their only monster, with the three blue eyes immediately going for a sweeping kill.

That's so retro it hurts.

---

I used to play the game but I quit a few years ago due to several aspects. First and foremostly, it was getting too expensive. Getting an up to date deck nowadays can be quite expensive and the prices for cards are fluctuating all the time. I recall how a 1st Edition Dark Crisis Vampire Lord used to be a good hundred bucks worth but nowadays it's not even a fifth of that anymore. The other factor was that I didn't really have the people to play it with. There's a store in my town which sells TCGs and has playrooms for it, but most of these people were either cocky bastards who wouldn't stop boast with their awesome collections or would shuffle their hand cards nonstop while it was your turn, the other players were just kids who didn't even know about the banned list.

Nowadays I only play it as a videogame, primarily the Tag Force series, though it still pains me sometimes that I stopped playing the actual game since there's a huge difference between holding a handheld game console or actual cards in your hands. If I actually had someone to, I'd probably would also play it online via YGO Virtual Desktop.
