Lately, I find myself watching more mecha anime than I have in the past year. Or perhaps I’m spending more time watching anime that’s not Gundam-related. Either way, I’m really enjoying watching Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and the 25th Anniversary series Macross Frontier. I can imagine my friend Joey asking where Code Geass is in [...]

Practically all the webcomics I visit on a daily basis have put April Fool’s dummy websites. I bet that all across the globe, there are tons more people making pranks on other people in celebration of April Fool’s day. I can take a joke. But most of the April Fool’s pranks I’ve encountered in all [...]

This is probably one of my favorite pictures of Mizuho Kazami and one of the first ones I kept ever since I found out about this particular character from Onegai Sensei (Please! Teacher). Her large eyes and her pink hair, eyeglasses and sexy clothing have made her quite a popular character and also a figurine [...]

This is the 1:100 scale Gundam Astraea prototype. For those who don’t know, the Astraea is part of the sidestory manga for Gundam 00, Sunrise’s current ongoing Gundam series. It looks nearly exactly like the Exia, only significantly lacking melee weapons and sports a beam rifle instead.
I am liking the head design for this one. [...]

Gundambase Side 1 has uploaded a whole bunch o pictures for the 1/100 Gundam Virtue and it purges its armor also which is quite neat for a HG model kit. Looks like Bandai’s really stepping it up on their 1/100 high grade line especially for the Gundam 00 model kits. I guess they’re riding on [...]

Remember this hot piece of Gundam goodness? Did you buy one? Did you feel that it was a bit lonely on your desktop and that it needed its arch-rival beside it? Did you feel that the other Zaku’s weren’t up to snuff to stand beside it?
Well, question no more for Bandai is going to release [...]

Awesome stuff from Gundam.Info covering the 15th anniversary of Dengeki starting with the MG Strike E + IWSP which is basically a white Strike E with akimbo beam rifles and retaining its akimbo beam handguns. From the picture shown there, it still uses the old MG Strike frame so nothing really new. It’s basically like [...]

I remember having seen this PVC figurine before. Probably in one of Danny’s posts. I’m not sure if this was designed by Shunya Yamashita but it definitely makes Rei Ayanami hotter than she already is. See more pics at Amiami.com.
