Ok. That's what I figured. Lol

Did learn a whole bunch of other background development stuff over the last few months though, so that's neat.

And the sun has risen!

So over the past year or so I've been contributing to a friend's project of translating a lot of background and production materials, and every once in a while you stumble on some curious coincidences.

To say nothing of early Suiko designs resembling a certain Juicy samurai.

Gaim?

That was my thinking, yes.

Hardly conclusive, but it's still funny (to me) considering that's how Gaim caught my eye to begin with.

So here's something unexpected. Nozomu Sasaki who voiced Shin went to Tokyo University and graduated as a law major not too long ago. That is impressive especially considering he didn't even go on hiatus for it. :rock:

IT'S HAPPENING

You know, after they have all four of them out I wouldn't mind them releasing the MESSAGE armors, that is if they have access to that as well since sometimes licensing can be convoluted so I understand if it doesn't happen.

The Message armors are also a pretty drastic change one a number of levels. For one there's not actually an established appearance for the undergear that the armor goes on beyond some concept sketches. I wouldn't mind them doing the Message Armors, but I'd rather see Kayura, Arago, Kenbukyo, or Kaos.

Or hell, Nasutei.
