  1. Any improvements at this year's AFA? It's been a long time since I went to Singapore. When I finally pay off my insurance I'm gonna have some extra money in 2 years, might be good enough for an SG trip.

    Do inform us when it finally ships
  3. Ahahaha I probably wouldn't continue watching if I didn't like the ending.
  4. Estimated quantity of 'Sales' for ROBOTECH REMIX #1: 8,109. With the caveat 'One other factor to consider is that sales through Diamond and other comic distributors are non-returnable to retailers. That means that there is a considerable unknown percentage of books unsold at the retailer level, probably amounting to 5-20% of sales.' (US only) So there are probably still a few thousand who are buying this thing. It will be interesting to see what sales numbers will be for the later issues. https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/44482/top-500-comics-october-2019
  5. Hmmm looks like I gotta start saving now!
  6. How much is this gonna cost?

    Hopefully the Scout Regult gets officially announced later this year (or early next year). Frankly I am not too disappointed at the sparse Macross HMR announcements/teases, as I have been pouring some of my money into stocks that otherwise would have gone into HMRs and kits etc. But I still want to see the Q Rau. Please Bandai, onegai..
  8. I wasn't really impressed with the live-action movie so of course I wonder how this being made with Netflix will influence the final product. And then this trailer comes out that looks like a video game instead of anime (doesn't look cyberpunk to me). Right or wrong, my initial reaction would not be so positive. I'd like to be proven wrong, but the story has to be really good... Speaking of Kenji Kawai, here's a mini-feature from tocotoco (now Archipel) Youtube channel. Advance apologies if this has been posted already.
  9. I don't like how the shirt is halved. I like the yellow jacket version better, I was very happy I got it on sale.

    Yesssss! I already have a Roy VF1S but it's OK, Roy is my fave pilot. Although I wish they would re-release the plain Regults, I'd love to have 2 more (or even more than 2 if my budget can handle it). My only worry now is PO madness
  11. It's been more than 10 years since Mac F I feel so old now haha
  12. CG doesn't look that good for me. I'm vastly lowering expectations for this especially the visuals, and I fear for the story/actual content.
  13. LOL what kind of restaurant did they go to
  14. For future reference: https://gubabablog.wordpress.com/2017/01/02/master-list-of-all-translations/
  15. You're a bit late, I gave up on acquiring that book a few days after I posted.
  16. OK, never mind my question. It's an KEN OKUYAMA X GUNPLA 40TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT. I'm interested, but probably not getting one right away.
  17. Looks sleek. Is this variant based on something?
  18. Interview of Shoji Kawamori in Kotaku: https://kotaku.com/how-anime-has-and-hasnt-changed-according-to-shoji-kaw-1838478119 lol

    I'll probably pass on this. I'd have a harder time deciding if it was in M&M colors, or anything in blue. Guess I got some extra money now

    We're probably not getting a reprint of the Design Works book though. Hopefully he'll put out another book years from now that's not so hard to get as this EXPO one.
  21. Hmm, what immediately comes to mind (after Full Metal Panic) is Knights & Magic. The anime was sourced from a light novel. However there is not an official English translation, unfortunately. Now these don't have giant robots, but almost there: All You Need Is Kill / Edge of Tomorrow (this was the light novel that Tom Cruise movie was based on) The Stories of Ibis (interconnected stories about androids) The 2 are Haikasoru books, I recommend that line if you're into sci-fi. There's also another LN called Heavy Object, though I am not that familiar with it. It supposedly has mecha. And lol, in the course of my research, TIL this exists: https://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Escalation-Confrontation/dp/1611720052/ I'm sure there's another Gundam light novel out there, but my eyes are tired now of searching. Also, there's more mecha in manga it seems, that alternative should be more satisfying.

    Nice! Was it worth the price? And I mean, in terms of unpublished vs published content ratio.
  23. If the nuBSG ending was good it would have been a perfect SF series. They better have a plan, otherwise it's just gonna be a waste of IP and resources. (I haven't seen the original though, and have no plans to see it.)
