| 12:00am | Bishounen in the Mecha Genre Did NOT Begin with Mobile Suit Gundam Wing | | | | There are female viewers of mecha anime now, as evidenced by the success of shows like Code Geass and Mobile Suit Gundam 00. As far as I’m concerned this is a fantastic development. I imagine that the declining birth rate in Japan makes the people behind these works at least welcome the idea... | | |
| 1:17pm | Armored Trooper Votoms Review - 87,5/100 | | | | I’ve been a fan of Ryousuke Takahashi for quite a while now. This guy always manages to combine realism with an intelligent plot, that yet are epic and full of action.

| 12:00am | I Love Gundam, I don’t Love Gundam Wing | | | | [No spoilers here] I’m pretty much a Gundam fan. I totally buy into the whole thing: the toys, the significance in otaku culture, the inside jokes, and whole tradition. I haven’t seen all of the franchise (nor have read the manga and novels, nor have played all the video games), but I... | | |
| 7:16am | Eden of The East Finale=Gundam 00? | | | | Don’t know what the gg half time break is talking about with regard to Code Geass R2 comparisons, but so many parts of this finale made me feel like I was watching Gundam 00 without the mecha and with a different goal and a smaller scope that I’m wondering what the deal is:Ato SaizoJuizSelecao... | | |
| 12:45am | The Recency Bias and How it Affects Anime Appreciation | | | | [Pic somehow related] I just finished watching a lot of shows in the past 2 months, as well as read a lot of manga. I look at my recent archives and see how much samurai anime and manga I’ve bee consuming. Sometimes I catch myself thinking, ‘oh wow, this is just the best thing ever.’... | | |

| 11:15pm | Gundam 00 - Episode Fifty |  | | | As Gundam has a tradition of making the last episode of the series an action orientated episode, that’s what this episode is. This episode has Setsuna battling Ribbons, and I thought that it was interesting that their fight made each other forces each other to pilot another Gundam. Besides Setsuna... | | |

| 11:10pm | Gundam 00 - Episode Fourty Eight |  | | | What’s better then a double cross? Well the answer to this question is a triple cross, with Ribbons crossing Regene back, with having Ali Al-Saachez kill Regene, while Ribbons consciousness is now linked to Veda, and that his body is just a container. Before I go into details about this episode, I... | | |
| 11:08pm | Gundam 00 - Episode Fourty Seven |  | | | As Graham and Setsuna have had a rivalry during the course of Gundam 00, I thought that the scene of where Setsuna decides not to finish off, and decides to return to the Ptolemaios. As I am curious that how Graham Arce decided to change his appearance into Mister Bushido, I thought that this episode... | | |
| 11:05pm | Gundam 00 - Episode Fourty Six |  | | | As the previous episode of Gundam 00 was a good episode, this episode of Gundam 00 focuses around Setsuna being to innovate, and possible or not being a human innovator. As this episode partly deals with Setsuna being possibly a human innovator or not, as the previous episode focused a bit on Anew... | | |
