He's asking for recommendations. It's entirely possible to give him what he wants by listing titles without any offending links. Some people actually go through the proper channels to purchase their entertainment. Wild concept, I know, but it does happen. I never posted illegal manga scan links, ju...

I've been reading both Shrapnel and Freedom Formula and both are pretty good, with the former being exceptionally good. This has prompted me to find other modern mecha related comic books or graphic novels... preferably something with a unique aesthetic, something more futuristic and unique like th...

Other than Robotech or Battletech/Mechwarrior, are there any other mech-related books worth reading out there?

Any help here would be appreciated.

I personally dislike most hip-hop and rap because of the lack of musical originality and my inability to relate to the lyrics which get constantly peppered with the name of whichever 'artist' is singing the song. As a musician, I cannot listen to the same sample played over and over. To me, that's ...

I can't tell you too much about the possibility of a Battletech movie, although I do know of people who worked on the novels (I am a writer myself and I just moved to Los Angeles, but I know all kinds of people around the business) and the rights to Battletech are kind of complicated.

I mean they had a Ramba Ral model kit playset. In fact, thats where I first discovered the Gundam 0079 manga. I go there all the time, but if y...

Does anyone know of any places where I might find Dougram DVDs or even tapes subtitled?

Thanks in advance.

I guess Transformers has changed all of this.

Mech might be on an upswing.

Which is why Evangelion made such an impression on the scene.

And now that I think of it, there hasn't been an original American-produced mech/giant robot show that has caught on big other than Transformers (that only sort of counts since it was a dual U.S./Japanese production).

Is it me, or does it seem that the time of mech series catching the attention of teenagers in America has passed us by? I teach public school and I have a lot of great students. But there are fewer and fewer kids who are into mech shows and as I look at the even younger kids, I am noticing that the ...
