Anime: Mobile Suit Gundam

...First, Chuck: Thanks for reviewing this series.

Also, I'm looking forward to seeing if you use the "I'm Jumping Onto White Base...Arrgh!" stupid statement dance mix (link)

Man, that shot at Cleveland sports. Brutal.

"We're not as bad as the Nazis! When the Nazis exterminated people, they targeted powerless minorities. When we gas people, we do it regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality or gender identity! Who cares if one third of humanity is dead after one week of fighting!"

Why is Chuck using the Sub for this one? The Dub for the trilogy is pretty good, it accurately gets across that Bright is British.

I never got into the mecha stuff as a kid or as a teen. But, if a show with a galaxy wide robot is supposed to be realistic... what does that make "Full Metal Panic!" ? (the exclamation mark is part of the title)

EDIT: Seems I might have confused Gundam with Lagan...oops.

What if a teenage boy had to pilot a giant robot that was controlled by touching breasts?


And I refuse to believe that such an anime doesn't exist, even though I refuse to Google the concept. I don't want to have to explain myself to the local police, but it's like Rule 34 of Manga/Anime: if you can imagine it, there is manga/anime of it. And quite possibly a CCG too.

I think Chuck will appreciate the Abridged edition too.

Enjoyed the review, but I think I should not have watched in the same room as my horses. Poor things, don't know what spooked them so badly...

Funny thing about Starship Troopers. it was made into an anime you can now see on youtube back in the 80's. I'm not kidding, take a look for yourself.

The currently airing Darling in the Franxx has something similar.
