    For those of you that are Girls Und Panzer fans and play World of Tanks, WG just announced that next month the Panzer IV H anko Angler team special will be made available for all the platforms WoT is on including PC, mobile, PS4, and Xbone. This tank used to be a PS4 exclusive, and you can be sure I'm purchasing it for my xbone.

    Wasn't this the same or similar to mural that was in the publicity for Prometheus? Just less detailed?

    For those of you familiar with Twilight Axis, are there any new special GM variants in it like say a RGM-86 GMIII Sniper Custom?

    So I did some digging and managed to get some answers from Tim Eldred of ourstarblazers.com as to what Voyager is, who owns it, and what they do. Yoshinobu Nishizaki founded Voyager Entertainment back in the mid 90s when he was working on Yamato 2520 to handle U.S. video distribution of the whole franchise. There was a U.S. office in New Jersey, but that was shut down by the Japanese side in 2012 and the entity as a whole renamed Voyager Holdings. Voyager as it is today is very much a part of the Japanese Yamato 2199/2202 production comittee wholly owned and run by them tasked with distribution and merchandising the various Yamato incarnations in the U.S. This isn't something like the Robotech/Macross situation where some other company is involved, this is owners themselves calling the shots. This pretty much explains a lot like how Voyager's missteps echo other Japanese companies like Aniplex or PonyCanyon in that they don't understand or underestimate the U.S. markets or assume that what worked well in Japan will work well in the States. It's also pretty much the reason they refuse to license the shows out to someone like Funimation or Sentai Filmworks with the exception of the live action movie which I think funi got the rights to from the studio that filmed it and not Voyager themselves.

    Good you passed the test. It seems most people these days can't get over themselves to see the great story tying the first gundam series and drop it right away because of the "icky 70s" animation. Once you get engrossed in the story though you'll find yourself largely not caring about the older animation style and actually start to appeciate the aesthetic of it and what they were able to accomplissh at the time.

    I got a bit of an odd question for everyone. Aside from obvious shows like Girls Und Panzer or Tank Police can you guys tell me any anime that has an emphasis on tank battles or just really cool scenes with them or armored fighting vehicles?

    If they were being 100% faithful to the original manga she'd be wearing a skin tight camo suit. This need to be nude for the thermal camo to work was only introduced in Oshii's film.

    I have to strongly agree with this. By the time the Galatea, and the liquid suits are introduced on top everthing going Night of the Living Boomers the show had completely gone off the rails. Still its not the worst mecha show out there, even if it is a sub par reboot of a classic. S

    Anime Boston is coming up in little over a month, anyone going? I'm supposed to have four panels I'm hosting this year. All About That Ecchi and Fanservice But Were Afraid to Ask Tankery 101: A guide to Girls Und Panzer Air Combat in Anime My Tank is Fight: Tank Combat in Anime EDIT: Sorry guys for the depressing stuff at the end. Let's focus on the positive! AB is retro themed this year!

    WOW! I honestly did not expect them to actually follow through and make the hooters waitress girl! I really like the battle damaged Iowa and 7 virtues figures too. The sonico stuff though? I've never really cared for her character that much and I think she's overplayed at this point so I really could care less.

    Who the hell are you kidding? This is the internet, idiots will complain about not having asian actors just because AoT is an anime from Japan regardless of what their races are in the actual show. Another thing, the keyword there in my previous paragraph is "asian actors". SJW's clamoring for more asians don't realize that asian does not equal Japanese and their flavor of the month Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese actor playing a Japanese role is more likely to offend Japanese people that a white person in that role. That was proven with Memoirs of a Geisha. Finally where was the stinkfest for casting Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow? Did such a drastic name change from All You Need Is Kill turn off all the weeaboos and SJW's whine dectectors?

    That reminds me, any good Sei Shoujo figures coming down the pipe? Also that Faith virtue figure reminds of the first large figure I ever bought. Hitomi the band camp girl!

    Plastic Little is one of my mainstays for the ecchi and fanservice anime panel I run at conventions along with others like Golden Boy, Agent Aika, Najica, and Cutey Honey.

    Honestly the best part of 2040 is the revamped Nene. I love how she's both cute and competent now. Overall in the end it's not a bad show, but its not something to write home about.

    So according to the Tiger Mask W's official Japanesse twitter page two new women's wrestling characters are going to be introduced soon. The first is a tall toned blonde American woman named Queen Elizabeth, and the other is a Japanese woman with red hair and some facepaint named Pain Fox... Yup they're based on Charlotte and Asuka. https://mobile.twitter.com/TigerMaskW/status/817345755656568833/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

    TPM- They end the Trade Federation's blockade & occupation of Naboo. Good reason to celebrate, and yet this is tempered by Qui Gon's funeral. AotC-No celebration here, just an ominous feeling of dread as clone troopers muster out and Anakin marries Padme in a muted and quiet ceremony. RotS-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! celebrating in this one. RO- The rebels loose 95% of their fleet on an unauthorized mission in what ANH's opening crawl assured us was their first major victory against the Empire. I'd say some solemness is required. ANH-Just blew up the Empire's planet killer super weapon moments before it blew you up and this was accomplished by what's left of your fighter squadrons, a farmboy bush pilot, and a mercenary smuggler in a commercial freighter. I'd say celebrating is worth it. ESB- Lost Han, lost a hand, lost a base, and a lost fleet staring off into space. No celebrating in this one. RotJ- Went toe to toe with the Empire in a fleet action that was rigged against you and not only destroyed their new super weapon, mauled their fleet severly, they also took out the Emperor and his right hand man. It's party Time! TFA- A mixed sense of relief and joy at destroying the latest super weapon tempered with the high cost of what it took to achieve it along with the sense it's only the begining.

    The more I think about Vader's fan pandering two minutes of badassness the more I find it's addition pointless, excessive, and continuity breaking. Not only does the scene not mesh well with how he's portrayed at the begining of A New Hope, it also creates the plot hole of having captured the rebel's flagship intact. A huge part of ANH is Leia being the Empire's only link to finding the location of and destroying the rebel base. Now you have the flagship along the entire crew, and captain who have all been to Yavin IV to search and interrogate. Honestly the ship should have just been destroyed in combat after transmitting the plans, or if boarded self destructed. At the very least they should have made the rebel base Dantooine in the process of being abandoned to better mesh with Leia's not willing to actively betray the rebellion and giving away an old base instead.

    I'm sitting here in my local restaurant and they have CNN on announcing Carrie Fisher just passed.

    Flew out to San Fran over the weekend to attend the North American premiere of Girls Und Panzer Der Film. Its a pretty damn good entertaining movie. Very action packed and well paced. I loved the little references and injokes the film made to things like World of Tanks and war movies like 1941. One thing that did kind of take me by surprise was how much the movie lampooned the old imperial war era mentality with Chi Ha Tan Academy and their suicide charges.

    Yup that's her. It's still awesome and heartbreaking at the same time knowing the behind the scenes story of KT existance.

    Have you ever seen what happens when a chimp attacks a human? Half your size, but can literally rip your face off.
