My god, Lunar 1 and 2 were my favorite games ever. I even have the two artbooks. Anyway, a new Game Arts-developed remake for PSP is interesting news, but I really want new NEW Lunar game. And it's gotta have the same character designer and game engine.

Wow, I always thought the new canopy was short. They're the same length in the 1/60 and 1/72!

Wow, that is great stuff!

God I hate that. The premise of this movie -- a guy all alone on a prolonged space missions -- is pretty hard to swallow. We all know people go crazy when they are alone.

Wow, that looks pretty good! Thanks for the heads-up. Totally going to see this.

What project is that? A real project that's in the works, or some nerd's naive dream that will never happen? Serious question here. Just curious. Is there a book on the way?

How f*cking lame. Seriously. I'd have more respect if they set the show in the same universe, but didn't call it Tenchi in an insulting attempt to trick us into caring. Actually, I'd be way more interested in it if they did that. And I need a main character who doesn't look exactly like Tenchi.

I don't mind the character designs. They have a sort of old school sensibility that I like.

Awesome, downloading now. And no, I've never heard of it. Looks old-school cool.

This is a tough call. I do really love Macross and DYRL, so those would be my pick. But for non-Macross stuff, I'd pick Project A-ko, Golden Boy, or Tenchi Muyo (the original OAV). I would like to register my distaste for Gurren Laggan. I just don't get what there is to like about it. It's a lot like the dumb kid's cartoons I used to hate after I found anime.

Oh, no, I meant in bike mode. You know how the shocks are supposed to clip into the forearm guards/wheel covers? But they don't because the pegs are too small and things don't line up right? On the Rey bike it's really bad. That's what I'm talking about.

That right there would be very cool. I still think the legioss needs more improvement, like knees that slide up and fully retracting tail fins at least. And I don't believe yet that the connection is improved. Looks like they just aimed the arms up. I wonder if they'll release fixed versions of the little ride armors. Like versions where the shocks actually connect to the forearm covers in bike mode.

Good one! I was all excited for a second.

Why stop with the chest intakes? The Legioss is still pretty fugly in fighter mode.

California Crisis is beautiful. It's on Nico Nico Douga, but you probably want better video than that, right Area88?

Maybe the rumored poor sales of the 1/100 VF-25 made them realize that valkyrie toys should actually transform. Yeah, I said it. What the 1/100 VF25 does is not a transformation.

Yay for obscure references that I know.

So she's gonna be more like $250? Man these things keep going up. Anyway, I think they should make her white shoulder armor longer so it's actually visible in armor mode. Like this.

I have some more info: it looks like crap.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water here. The mecha design itself is horrible, but the "man cannon" is genius. It just needs a redesign. I bet Miyatake could do it justice. Whoever designed this one just had to be giggling to himself.

What's the name of that dancing robot with dreadlocks? That one is ugly. As far as ugly robots from shows I actually watch, it's the AJAX space helicopter from Southern Cross.

I don't know if this has already been noticed and mentioned here, but it looks like the chest on the new 1D doesn't slide down as far in battroid mode as the other new VF-1's. Check out your comparison shots, Jenius. Is that just how it transforms, or did you not push it down all the way?

That is freakin' weird.

Looks pretty good to me. Especially like the Bartley figure itself.

I miss MXC. Everything else is unworthy.
