OtakuNews more gundam cafe's to open in japan

Bandai announced plans on Friday to expand its Gundam Café chain into the Osaka, Nagoya, Hiroshima, and similar metropolitan areas. The company will open a third Tokyo cafe at the main Tokyo Station's First Avenue area on Thursday.

There are already two Tokyo-area Gundam Cafés open at the Akihabara Japan Railway station and on Odaiba island. There was a Gundam Café — the first official Gundam-themed restaurant — in the Bandai Museum in the nearby city of Matsudo before the museum closed in 2006.

The Akihabara café receives about 400,000 customers per year with sales exceeding Bandai's 200-million-yen (about US$2.4-million) target. needless to say that if I was in the area I would go but sadly Im to poor to funt a trip to japan just to eat and drink gundam themed foods and drinks.

otakunews Seed Destiny getting a HD remaster too

The official live stream of the 50th and final episode of the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed HD Remaster Project ended with an announcement on Friday of an HD Remaster Project for the Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny anime.

The Gundam Seed HD Remaster began streaming on the Bandai Channel service last December before running on the BS11 satellite channel and the Tokyo MX TV station this year. The fourth Mobile Suit Gundam Remaster box will be released in Japan on December 21 with a price of 15,485 yen (about US$191).

I dont know about you guys but I rely do think this is a big wast of bandais money. The seed franchis is no ware as big as it once was and even if they only do a bare minimum of upscale like they did for the first seed remaster this will probly cost more then it could bring in. That is unless for sum reson there is a massive group of seed fans perficly willing to get riped off by paying outrageus prises formost bare bone relese

otakunicks thoughts on gundam seed HD remaster

otakunicks anime reviews (gundam unicorn ep4)`

Hey guys its me Otakunick and boy do i got a review for you. As you all know by now I am as big of a Gundam fan as it comes. I have seen every gundam anime and OVA that has come out in the last 30 odd years and I intend on watching every gundam that comes. So, you should have seen this one coming miles away so before i start rambling lets get into the review. Oh and one more thing I will be putting spoilers in this review so if you hate spoilers and have not seen the new ep of gundam unicorn go out and watch it then read the review.

Okay the story picks up right after the last Ep Audrey(AKA Mineve Zabi)had escaped to Earth with the help of Riddhe Marcenas. Who takes her to his father a big wig in the federation thinking he can help her only to find out his family is not so Nobel as he once thought. which causes some problems resulting in mineve running away only to have a talk with a diner owner which solidified her resolve on her next course of action. While at the same time Banagher has found himself in the company of Suberoa Zinnerman captain of the NEO Zeon ship from the last 3EPs. And for some time it looks like the captain had won Banagher over until the last battle of the EP were the two have a major falling out over the ethical implications of slaughtering a inter city along with the targeted base. Which ends with the two coming to blows with one another while captain Bright Noa leads a strike force to take down the NEO Zeon forces attacking said city. And as all this is going down Marida cruz (aka Ple Twelve) has been taken to anaheim electronics HQ in order to be used as a weapon in their new unicorn banshee

Now then with the story out of the way i get to talk about the series from a pure production standard and what can I say it looks and sounds just as good as the last 3 EPs there is nothing more. All i can say is brights new voice actor Narita, Ken was a good choice he really slipped into the role nicely sounding almost the same as Suzuoki, Hirotaka but went further giving bright some more age in his voice. Even though some will say its not needed as Unicorn is only set 3 years after chars Counterattack but none the less i liked it.

so that's really all i have to say another great installment of a good OVA and i cant wait for the next EP

otakunick anime reviews (Gundam Age)

Hey guys its me Otakunick like always and once again i got a new review for you today its Gundam Age. Now then Gundam Age is the newest series in the long running gundam franchise witch started back in 1979 with the original Mobile Suit Gundam and has now become one of the most well known anime in all of anime. But you guys did'int come hear for a history lesson on anime you came for a review.

Well to get started let me just say I will be doing the review for gundam age a bit diffident from other anime. Since the story crosses three generations of main charters i will be giving my basic thoughts on the show right now then I'll be doing a review when each of the generations ends and sum time after that I will review the show as a hole.

So lets get started with the story since I will be covering each generation of charters by them self's at the end i will only talk about the brooder story witch gos like this. It has been a few hundred years since humans began to live on space colonies. In A.G. 101, an unknown enemy (UE) "GAFRAN" suddenly attacks one of the colonies "Angel". A long war against UE has begun. I know its not much but let me say this acholy works well for the show. In fact is at this point in the show(I'm on EP 5 at the time of this review) we now nothing about the UE(Unknown Enemy) aside from that they have better tech then the federation. Now then with I am looking forward to seeing this world change and to see just how that change will effect the charters who live in it.




Ok now I am getting to the elephant in the room the art. It is probably no surprise to anyone when I say Gundam Age's art has been the cos of much heat on the net. But let me just say most of that heat is from US fans that think just because a show looks childish it will suck. And all I have to say to that is grow the fuck up okay Yes the art looks like Inazuma 11 but you know what it all so looks like Cyborg 009. Too me this art is a thow back to the old 70s more then anything els. so stop calling Age Gundam for babbys of kiddy gundam because you'r just makeing you'r self look like a ass

As for the music I like it I know that's not much coming from me the guy that dos'int seem to dislike any OST. But its true i do like the sound track of Age will i go out and buy it when it comes out no but I mite download the OP and in the end the sound track dos its job.


SO over all I say give Age a shot if you don't like it just drop it but please don't bash it just because you dont like it. Age is a perfectly good show yea it has its flaws but every show dos and this show is not the worse thing to happen to gundam G-saver is so just give it a chance. Niw with that sed please keep comeing back I' have a review for the first gen of Age when its all dune this has been Otakunick singing off
