VIDEO: North American "Turn A Gundam" Trailer [video=youtube;eNMnxNEmL0o]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eNMnxNEmL0o[/video] Subtitled Only Release Planned Across Four Collections Starting in 1994, alternate universe Gundamseries, with plots broken away from the continuity of the original Universal Century, started being produced to bring new viewers into the fold. These would take the fundamental of Gundam's conflict between Earth and its orbiting colonies, as well as the young pilot, but depart more from the original's implicit real robot manifesto.*1994's Mobile Fighting Legend G Gundamlooked to shonen martial arts tournaments for inspiration, with extravagantly colorful national Gundam's fighting it out (there are some notorious examples, Mexico's serape and sombrero clad Tequila Gundam, the windmill shaped Nether Gundam, Sweden's Sailormoon-esque Nobel Gundam). :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: VIDEO: North American "Turn A Gundam" Trailer

Evangelion Themed Karaoke Room in Akihabara Karaoke Pasela, one of the biggest karaoke box store chain in Japan, has opened a new official concept room featuring the popular anime series Evangelionat their Akihabara Showa-Douri Kan store in Akihabara. The door, ceiling, wall, table, all of the interior of the room are decorated with the Eva-themed stuff.*They also have more concept rooms featuring*Sengoku BASARA, Cyborg 009, and Monster Hunter.

Cancelled Avengers Game In addition to closing the doors on its MX vs. ATVand Red Factionfranchises, THQ has also stopped production of its tie-in title to The Avengers, the 2012 superhero epic that teams Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man together along with other heroes.*While most tie-in games go for a simple third-person action/platformer, The Avengerswas apparently going to be a first-person brawler heavily focusing on co-op play, allowing heroes to combine abilities against enemies, with light RPG elements like XP drops and unique abilities showing up occasionally during the video.* Beyond that, we don't know anything else save what's shown. :demonangel: CLICK THE LINK 4 MORE :demonangel: VIDEO: Footage of Cancelled Avengers Game Due to THQ copyright the video was pulled

I saw Last Exile. It started out great, but then lost it's energy. It was alright. Witchblade was decent. I think the best quality anime there is Noir. Episodes 4-8 and 12-14 were a bit slow. They didn't contribute much to the main story arc. They were isolated stories. But the main story was incredible. Very intense. And the last half of the season was very strong. It made noir one of my favorite animes for awhile.
I'll give noir a try. I just finished Queen'sBlade 2nd season & I haven't finished witchblade yet i like the japanese witchblade though, it's cool how this is a different witchblade story from WitchbladeTakeru & the regular Witchblade.
