Well crap...the surface of earth has been reduced to rubble...I was REALLY hoping that Macross wouldn't go there. At least (I think) it recovers.

That guy will do anything with a paycheck attached as long as he has some free time. Probably didn't have to pay him a ton since it likely only took a couple of days to run through the lines. Big actors like voice work because for most of them it's quick to do and fills in some down time between projects.

Tekka 02, man this show is epic. Just a shame that the animation is so dated, so it's never quite as epic as it might seem. Still the action is hella thrilling and there are really great quiet moments as well, like the trip through the Orbital Ring which is now just a graveyard.

Sadly, I'm really not feeling the show outside of the visuals/action. The story is so far uninspiring, and so the character moments fall flat, plus I hate the archetype Nolan fits into and the fact he never deviates from that stock character makes him unbearable at times.

I believe Samuel L Jackson has a check list every ever media an actor can show up in. This counts as his anime role. It's right below being in a Marvel comic. All that's left is a cartoon with his name in the title and being the next Kamen Rider


After refreshing my memory, Samuel L. Jackson helped get the anime made. He got ahold of the test trailer and found US companies people to make it by being the face of the project. Of course he was going to be in it (he's also the ninja dude). It also aired in the US on Spike TV first. The first Japanese airing was even shown in English with Japanese subtitles.

G-Gundam 03.

Man the depiction of Neo China is so ridiculous and I'm not sure if I'm meant to be offended but it's also really awesome. Plus the Dragon Gundam is probably the coolest Gundam yet (I remember nothing from the first Gundam and although Maxter had a cool fighting style it was still kinda bland). It's just a shame the kid is so annoying.

I'm not sure I like this shows pace, the way Domon is just there, I mean I know we can assume he's just travelling from location to location but I start every episode wondering if I skipped an episode by accident.

Tekkaman Blade 03 was pretty boring, to be fair. I know that Military dude isn't supposed to be liked, but watching him be a massive immature baby throwing tantrums for fifteen minutes was fucking ANNOYING. Also, I'm getting kinda bored of seeing D-Boy fighting waves of insects, please come back Dagger. Still, VOLTEKKA!!!

I think that is how most of it plays. Pretty much every Gundam design in the series is a stereotype in some way. It sort of makes sense that the various nation's want their Gundam to stand out and represent their culture. You will see more as the series goes. The only problem is that the Neo Japan Gundam just looks like a normal Gundam with the white/red/blue color sceme. It does have the standard head but the design doesn't scream Japan in the way Dragon Gundam does China for example.

Yeah you woulda thought with how this series has played out Neo Japan would have a Gundam like Shinken-Oh. That would have probably been more interesting as well, the Shining Gundam isn't bad, it's actually cool but the Shining Finger stuff is really naff.
