- Sumeragi asked Somarie for a special favor. Was the favor that she helped out on the bridge or did I miss something? I haven't seen the translation yet, but I do believe she wanted her to help time the different phases of her plan (most importantly, when to activate Arios' Trans-Am). They didn't ...

Ep. 12 not much to say. It had a wonderful mix of action and character development as well as my boy Patrick briefly going at it with a Gundam. If he'd take a moment to apply all of his experience rather than being a reckless fool he might actually make a dangerous opponent. Ep. 13 was decent. It's ...

Happy silver anniversary to the Gundamn! crew! Once again, I just want to voice my thanks. Gundamn! is a perfect companion to the tech podcasts and audible books that prevent my job from driving me to insanity. :lol: I liked the free-form conversation that went on. It was just as entertaining as usu...

Another blockbuster episode with the next one setting up to be more battle-filled goodness. Poor Saji is going to be sleeping on the couch for weeks to come. Seriously, though, I think the way in which Saji was introduced as the O Raizer pilot was pretty well-done. It was a do or die situation and r...

Guess which UN members weren't in favor of the Prevention of Outer Space Arms Race resolution? The US and Israel. So if the day ever comes it quite literally will be considered rods from the Judeo-Christian God. :P For ease of use and practicality these 'rods' probably wouldn't be so big that they'd...

I think the reason why Saji gets more love/hate than the Meisters is the fact that he's so plain and so conflicted by comparison. The Meisters got over their personal doubts in S1 (with the exception of Tieria). Saji is hardly admirable because he hasn't gone out on a limb and displayed behavior wor...

No. It specifically says he is in the thing. Besides, I don't see how it's not believable. He's been looking for something to do, and finding out Louise is in A-Laws might be what spurs him into action. I'd much rather see Saji contributing than sitting around and pondering like he's doing now. My ...

Ep. 9 was meh. Now ep 10...holy moly, batman! What a great episode. This has got to be one of my favorites in some time. Usually the episodes have one main focus which is great for consistency but sometimes left me wanting. Not so here...this episode had it all. From new suits to new hot female char...

The art style and character design inspires me to visit violence upon those responsible for it. I'm not opposed to fanservice in any of itself, but really? The Sailor Moon-esque uniform thing? The loli in the skintight flight suit outfit? The woman who, for some God-only-knows reason, is wearing a ...

Also, Haro sounds far too robotic. well, he is a robot after all. I should've known that I would have to explain myself. Look, Haro has in the past (more often than not) sounded like a child or small person with some sort of tin-can effect melded with it. Overall, this made Haro sound like his voic...

Finally got around to Ep.8. Overall, I'm underwhelmed with this one. It gave us more questions than answers and for a non-mecha episode it lacked the emotional draw of Ep.7, IMO. I was glad to see Patrick but for a measly 30 secs it was almost an insult. And why the heck did Katherine say "That...

I watched it last Sunday and I found it quite enjoyable to just sit back and relax while listening to the dub. I, like others, found Sergei's voice to be the most out of place. Also, Haro sounds far too robotic. Haro is a constant throughout most Gundam series and yet he always sounds a certain way....

Oh hell yea! Patrick Colasour reporting for duty, party people! This totally made my day. Anyhow, I just watched ep 7 and, suprisingly, I don't have any complaints. The Mr.Bushido/Setsuna battle was short but satisfying. Sergei continued to show what a class act he is. Saji is still the embodiment o...

All I've got to say is I can't wait for the next episode to be done and over with. This episode along with the preview for next episode has me on strong emotions/troubled pasts overload.

I'll take any appearance by Patrick whether it be silly or serious--I just don't want him to be dead or lost to obscurity. /fingers crossed Also, this is probably old news but I just visited the official English l...

I'm glad Tieria's humor application skipped over puns and went straight to light sarcasm. I wonder how long it will be until he upgrades to wit. Our best humor detection programs are still limited to puns. Sigh... Oh yes, I cannot wait until he overcompensates by doing knock-knock jokes in the midd...

I really hadn't watched any anime this year besides Gundam 00 until I saw that Gankuotso (sp) : The Count of Monte Cristo off of Netflix' watch now feature.

Wow. I'm suprised to see that a staple of my Saturday morning childhood is making a comeback. Steroscopic film isn't anything new but at least it will set the movies somewhat apart from the abundence of other CG filmwork nowadays.
