I stumbled on this catchy and awesome video on Youtube. Here, the actual seiyuu of Sakura wars is performing the opening theme of the anime series, complete with costumes and vocal solos. I love how the audience is totally in sync with the performers. I can practically feel the crowd's energy through the monitor.

The first episode of the new Gundam series "Gundam 00" was released yesterday. I watched it and it was so awesome! Sunrise does not disappoint. Some character designs remind me of 'Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex". The voice acting is cool and subdued and calming. I like the soundtrack so far except for the ending theme. As I wrote on seed- ( Read more... )

I went and bought the Gundam Blitz 1/100 model. I finished assembling it and it looks great! I bouight it for $20.00 which is cheaper than in the Philippines. I'm contemplating buying more of the mechas from Gundam Seed and GS Destiny. I find it very relaxing to assemble and rewarding to behold once completed :) They're fully poseable, and I have ( Read more... )

I discovered two anime titles on sale: Gantz and Tsukihime. I've just started on Gantz and MAAAAAAN... I am so amazed and terrified and AWED and DISTURBED at the magnificence of this anime! Truly it lives up to its reputation as "the anime that shocked Japan". I've just seen ( Read more... )

Congratulations to me! After suffering a knife cut and prick from my wonderful X-Acto knife (couldnt find the Bandai Plastic Cutter, agh!) I just finished constructing my Gundam Duel Assault Shroud 1/100 model! It took me maybe a total of 6 hours! It's beautiful! I love the combination of colors and the SIZE of it! I used to build 1/144 models ( Read more... )

This is the lovely intro song to "Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo". Yes, this song that i made fun of is one of my favorite songs now. It actually sounds like the Count himself is singing the song! Now how nerdy an observation can that get! ;p

I'm revving for my Monte Cristo post. ;p

...a punk opera of revenge unfolds."

I've been mentioning this in the past two posts, so now it's time to write about it. Such a great anime series deserves its own post.

Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo is an anime series based on Alexandre Dumas' book, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo. I've never read the book so I am unsure how close the adaptation ( Read more... )

After a week-and-a-half long marathon viewing, we finished the Gundam Seed Destiny series last Wednesday. Fifty episodes, can you believe it? I mentioned in the previous post that Ga and I were hooked right from the first episode, but this set a new record in our anime-viewing history. We were addicted to the point that GSD became the top priority ( Read more... )
