    I'd like to think that each anime has some sort of budget allocation. In the case of Gundam, I see roughly four budget sections: Anime Production, Music Production, Marketing, and Merchandise. If one or more sections are too high, then the other sections suffer greatly. Take Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory, for example. It has some of the best animation and music and the marketing was pretty standard for an OVA, but it suffered from really piss-poor Gunpla and no decent merchandise appeared until Master Grade came out. Then you have Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny. The music production got the lion's share, followed by marketing and merchandise (the series produced a helluva lot of decent Gunpla that still sell well today), resulting in the animation department suffering a bit. That being said, Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn are probably the two most expensive Gundam titles ever produced, as they both hit extremely high notes on anime production, music production, marketing, and merchandise. The same could be said about Gundam Build Fighters, as the marketing is extremely massive and the Gunpla are among the best-selling in the entire franchise. On the flip side, Gundam Reconguista in G has a fifth budget section: Yoshiyuki Tomino himself. In this scenario, the merchandise department received the short end of the stick, as the HG Reconguista line fell short of expectations. This is almost the exact same scenario as Turn A Gundam, which had a very small Gunpla line for a TV series. Only difference is that Turn A is awesome and G-Reco is not.

    Ban's Fire Squad stint has been consistent since Mahou Sentai Magiranger vs. Dekaranger. It's just a question on whether or not he's still a hothead or Fire Squad completely matured him, as his really brief cameo in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger suggested the latter. And wow - Jasmine-chan, Umeko-chan, and Swan-san have not aged at all.

    Here are the details: WWE Terminates Hulk Hogan, Erases Him from Web Site I don't know with you guys, but WWE is a bit hypocritical on their side. They fired Hogan for making a racist remark outside the business, yet they also fired Alberto Del Rio because he reacted to a racist remark from a WWE executive (Koko B. Ware was also fired for nearly exactly the same reason, but according to Vinnie Mac himself, he fired the executive involved in that incident). Also, WWE really does not have a good track record with diversity. On a side note, given that there's still bad blood between Hogan and Vinnie Mac, it's not surprising that Hogan would once again leave the WWE on a sour note.

    Coming to Disney XD on September 26 is the Guardians of the Galaxy animated series. While it continues where the first film left off, it will not be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so don't expect anything leading to Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
