Watching Forza Horizon 6 Ae86 drift racing play-throughs, and… if it’s not accompanied by raging early 2000s Avex Trax Eurobeat, what are we even doing here

Ah, the UC NexT 0100 Unicorn Gundam light display was something else. The statue would’ve only been up a couple of years at that point. youtu.be/9ylinwxFYUg?...

Not sure if I previously shared this Milky Subway x Gundam Hathaway collab visual? Released in celebration of their cinema run. 🍿

Obviously the movie, not the novel, but Pablo Uchida’s Hathaway work really does set the mood 🔥

Happy 25th birthday Gundam EVOLVE! 🥂 The shorts had an unusual distribution method, so the date is a touch hazy. The compilation DVDs are long out of print, so here’s hoping for a fresh blu-ray - even if everything’s still at SD resolution.

Enjoyed this - fun and insightful, all the good stuff. Definitely recommend the listen if you watched the first (or second!) movie, and would like to dive a little deeper into the original source material. Hyped to join the book 2 discussion!

Really hoping this remaster project isn’t a 16:9 aspect ratio hack, with semi-arbitrary newly-animated scenes slotting in… not like they’d do that with Seed or anything..! 🤞

Enjoyed this a lot 🌱 youtu.be/-Dm-7u930DI?...

Well that was a whole lot of… teases? Animation wise, we have: - Mobile Suit Gundam remaster project underway - Long-form Gundam Wing ‘visual’ project underway - Gundam SEED FREEDOM Zero confirms for cinemas No dates for any of the above yet, aside from 'up until 2029’.

Random diversion, current view

New Gunpla promo!

Nooooo the 1:1 Unicorn Gundam is coming down later this year 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ah, the hololive collab!

Quite excited for the upcoming Tomino exhibition

Gundam-Con in January 2027?!! Well, I will definitely be there and sharing reports!

Deleting the post where I noted possible AI use for Gundam upscaling, so as not to spread confusion

A new ‘visual' Gundam Wing project is in the works - confirmed to be ‘long’!

Hey, I might be in this pic!

The live action movie mentioned..! They have… big cameras (no real news)

SEED Freedom Zero!

April 7th will now be officially recognized as ‘Gundam Day’, starting 2027!

Well that’s one way of phrasing it

Here’s hoping in another *cough* 50 years, it might even be 'a girl with Gundam’… or any gender even!

Not at all related to the conference, you can now buy 1:1 Gundam Manhole mats for your home!

Gundam 50th Anniversary logo drop!

Sweet celebration animation

English language spoken opening also, well this is a first

New SuleMio themed cup noodles incoming!

The Onkyo Anime Store in Akihabara still has a nice shelf of (pricey) IEMs, acrylic stands, and all sorts.

I’m sorry, just got surprise-hit by the Norton x Evangelion video ad, and laughing

My work team is in Tokyo all of next week, first time! (Usually it’s me heading out of the country) The CCA cap must be worn religiously throughout… Also, another old colleague and good friend is over this week, so looking forward to catching up today. Everyone is here…

If there’s one conference you ‘attend’ this week, may this be the one! Just over 10 hours away… youtu.be/tX8NQa1WWic?...

Hey, ガンプラの山を崩せ got their hands on the Gundam Runners Gate… runners. It’s just recolor options, but a fun little project. 🎨 Full review: schizophonic9.com/re10/gategun...

Fresh photos of the Full Mechanics Graze Ein, via original designer Ebikawa. Interestingly there was a plan for a 1/100 kit previously, but it was scrapped at the time, and reworked fully for this upcoming release.

I can’t take credit for spotting this, but SEED Freedom Zero seems to have a new logo, as per the recent Bandai Namco financial report. Previous on the left, New? on the right (with alt text styling + extra silver zero/ring - click in to see!)
