http://www.janet.org/janet_little_tokyo/ja_little_tokyo.html Most places were mentioned but there are also lots of little shops and resturants in the Little Tokyo/Japantown area. There are also a few dozen indoor shops which you can browse. They don't have many hobby/toy shops in the area (or I wasn't looking) but there are lots of bookstores and media (audio/video) shops for your anime needs. I'd suggest getting it online then go to the car rental agencies out of the airport. Sometimes, you can get a cheaper price online than right there.

So you don't hurt anybody with the tip of the blade. It's like a fencing tip. You don't need it but you don't want to poke anybody with it. $200-300/saber, minus shipping. Hilts come with blade color of your choice.

Rey? I don't think so. I think with Rey, it seemed more of a mental trama. As far as we know, Rey is not under any medication so there's no drug problems. He seems to be physically fit and the situation wasn't physically stressful like a battle situation (and he's been in tight spots so he doesn't seem to suffer. So with Rey, I'm thinking mental trama. That may be from his "imprisonment". I don't think PLANT/ZAFT had much to do with it. I think this was all Le Creuset. As a geneticist, Dullindal had access to lots of stuff. Who knows what those 2 might have done. I bring that up because Talia came to Dullindal to help her have a baby. The question is "why". Some people on Animesuki's forums brought up the Coordinator birthrate again. All I can say is "what does this all mean?". As I said, Ep. 29 just adds to the confusion. edit: We know Le Creuset is a Newtype thanks to daddy Flaga, who was a Natural. But could he have had any enhancements done to him when he met Dullindal? We don't know. Also, did Mr. Flaga want his clone(s) to be coordinators? We don't know.

He's a Natural Coordinator. They never address what he is, really. He could be a Coordinator (Flaga could have mdae his clones into Coordinators) judging from what he said in SEED. We don't know what those pills are. But it appears to have a calming effect so I'm wonder if those problems occur in stressful situations (like fighting Mu and Kira in the research facility). The growth acceleration probably causes all the symptoms and the pills probably control those symptoms.

It was medication to slow down the growth acceleration that Le Creuset was put through. Accroding to what's been said, he was altered with growth acceleration to catch up to Mu's age. In later years, they would try to stop this but failed and the side effect was sharp intense pain developed (kinda like he was having a heart attack) which he would have to take medication for. My guess is that stuff acted like a relaxer/blood pressure medication/fentanyl (this is a powerful pain killer), stuff to keep him from Apparently, Dullindal was the one who supplied Rau with the drugs.

After watching episode 29.... I can't tell. His connection to Crueset makes it questionable. He thinks it fate that all these things are happening. Ugh...this is getting confusing.

One of the kids over at Animesuki finally translated the preview of ep. 33 (I've already posted 30-32) Comments: Poor Anakin...I mean Shinn. Have you considered Lunamaria or Meyrin? Now, does Kira use Freedom as a instant bomb or does he show us his l33t skillz to take Destroy out of the fight? And Stellar.....a pretty and adorable Four-wannabe....Is Mu, I mean Neo going to make the impossible possible?

Yeh, but Minerva has ports to dock at to get repaired. AA was on their own every time. Of course, circumstances were different.... I agree. And we got episode previews for ep 30-33. Still waiting on a confirmed/literal translation so: (Spoilers, highlight to read) Kira will kill Stellar and Shinn gets pissed at Freedom. When someone actually translates it, I'll repost here. http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=32952 edit: Forgot this: Yet another sign of recycling themes: Impulse Rouge/Impulse- Lunamaria custom. (yes this is fan art)

The MGs are really for people who like details. Being the owner of a 1/100 HG Freedom and a MG Freedom, the MG Freedom is much better. MGs are also produced on a lower production scale compared to a HG (of course, when you talk about millions of units, the line gets blurry). Lately, Bandai has been making MGs based on popularity to generate sales. The UC line (like the OYW line) is the popular one so there will more of those. But with the others, only ones that have that popularity will make it to MG status. Ones that do better earn PG status (like Strike). There might be a MG of Impulse but as I said, sales for Impulse are slow (the ZAKUs are doing well). Destiny, maybe, depending on how well it is received when it shows. Only HG 1/144 at the moment. And only in Heine Westenfluss colors. No word on a 1/100. I'm debating on Chaos. The ZAKU Warrior Blaze/Gunner set is definitely on my list, though.

Sales of Impulse have been slow from what I've heard since it's too damn similar to Strike. Destiny, Freedom II and Justice II have yet to appear so no one knows how well those will sell.

Don't know yet. Right now, the work is focused on the PG Sky Grasper and the HG Destiny models. Depending on which model sells well, we might have a chance at MG versions of those kits. But as of now, nothing has been announced.

I'll stick with the games, thank you very much.

Well....a Surefire and a lightsaber both have a similar warnings...don't look directly at the light source....

There is nothing you can do to prevent it. Trust me. The best method is to make backups. And make 'em often.

Meh....seen it.

Can you still mount the drive? Is it making any noises? You may wish to try a Linux to see if you can recover files from that hard drive before you reformat it. I suggest you download a copy Knoppix (http://www.knoppix.com/) and see if you can read anything off the drive. If you can, that would probably save you some grief. And no hard drive is ever safe, especially from physical problems.

No, the licensing was officially announced in March. But considering the fact that it will come out by Autumn/Winter of this year, they had the secured the license probably at the end of last year. Jerry Chu has even said on many occasions, all Gundam will come over, it's just a matter of when.

Corollary 1: If a character is named Athrun Zala and this character pilots a Gundam and has his Gundam destroyed by self-infliction or by other means, then it is beyond repair. We're on ep. 128 already? Crap. Seed Destiny is licensed. Please don't ask for it or link to it. If you really want it, you will use Google to find a certain Gundam Seed forum. There, your answers will you find.

He might be. Sting is the only one with his head screwed on even slightly correct. Auel was a loud mouth but that doesn't matter since he met his watery grave. Stellar is just plain nuts....oh wait, she has "issues". So yeah, Sting might be the only one to last long enough to the end.

Can't speak for the Clone Wars series. But yes, that was Qui Gon in Episode 2. So yes, his presence still exists.

People hate his attitude/personality. I can say I'm not happy with it either. He's undisiplined and needs some serious anger management. As I said pages before, Shinn's hatred of ORB is somewhat misguided. Sure Attha was indirectly responsible for his family's death but there was nothing he could have done to have changed it. He's messed up but acting like he did isn't going to make the pain go away. He needs to learn self-control. Being slapped by Athrun,...twice, being yelled at by Talia, and he still acts like a jerk. Also we got some negative reinforcement; on one hand the crew is treating him like the next messiah and on the other hand, his superior officers are having real problems with him. In his blind hatred, probably not. In Todoka's mind, this was the best answer. With ORB gone in military strength, EA can't run to ORB for help. Sure ORB can provide manufacturing help but now, their out of the war with their naval fleet in ruins. If he met the wife and children of Todoka (if he has any), then that would be interesting. If Todoka had a kid, then you have to wonder if Shinn just created another Shinn by killing Todoka.

It had to end. He told the crew to abandon ship and seek refuge on Archangel so he didn't endanger his crew. The Takemikazuchi was serverly damaged. Shinn would be along in a few moments to sink it. He was obeying his conscience. As soldiers, they obeyed their orders to take out Minerva by any means. If that meant ramming it or slamming your fighter into it, then that's what had to be done.

How about Freedom II and Justice II until they figure out a dang name for those 2. Shinn is a good kid but like a certain Skywalker.... much anger I sense in him.

Shinn's seed-mode is kinda wasted...but then again, so has his skills among cannon fodder. Shinn has fought those Extendeds only so many times. Every other time, he's fought cannon fodder. He hasn't really fought experienced or better trained pilots. Shinn is a good pilot but his seed-mode is like non-seed Kira. What drives Shinn is his hate/anger. His seed-mode is a berserker seed. He doesn't have the control that Kira or Athrun had. The other advantage Kira has over Shinn is that Kira is a freakin Newtype. In a few more years, some training and Kira could use funnels. If Shinn faces Neo (assuming if Neo is really Mu), Neo has an edge. Neo got the experience and he has gone up against Providence. Granted he was in a dated MS (Strike), Mu moved quite well in Strike. And in a Windam, Shinn had a hard time with Neo.

See Graham, I told you it was getting better. Ep. 28 was good. Some of those Murasame pilots are pretty good...for cannon fodder. At least Saviour didn't blow up... Athrun was trying to stop Kira and AA from getting in the way, again. Athrun paid for that. He should have been helping Kira and Cagalli but no, he had to get in the way. Now his MS is in pieces. Maybe now he can stop sulking. Shinn, Shinn, Shinn.....*sigh* And yeah, Lunamaria is gonna get Impulse later...her ZAKU isn't worth fixing this time. Ep. 29 is a flashback episode. Not a recap, flashback.
