Holy poo poo at "Too empowering for female viewers", holy poo poo at westerners being 'too simple-minded' to get Woolf/Wulf's name right, and holy poo poo at Sunrise giving pictures of Jewish celebrities to use as the basis for the villains. I know Japan is supposed to be really xenophobic, but I think this is the first time I've seen such blatant evidence of it.

I liked that they tried something different with the Vegans but yes, the oven mitts and fishbowl helmets weren't that great to behold. Neither were the lizard-insect inspired suits sadly.

Gundam Breaker 3 is getting an English Asian release so that means there's a decent chance of it getting an actual western release at some point.

So during some Googling for Tomino interviews I came across mention of an essay (or possibly a book, it's unclear) that Tomino wrote about Turn-A called TURN A no iyashi that apparently discusses his feelings on the show, Mead's involvement, it's reception, legacy and so on. I know there's a few folks who haunt the thread that speak Japanese and I'm just making the thread aware of it on the off-chance that one of them might be a Turn-A fan too and interested in Googling it in Japanese to see if it's freely available to report on anything interesting in it should they read it. It worked out when I asked about the original plans for ZZ after all, so it might work out here too.

You know how Victory Gundam is an absurdly dark show where people die in horrible ways in almost every episode?

Muv-Luv is kinda the same deal, but significantly nastier in the specific things it does to its characters.

MuvLuv is really bad. I don't think I've ever dropped a show out of actual disgust like I did Schwarezmarken.

amiami doesn't let you cancel orders unless you actually talk to somebody from the company via email or whatever, and even then they reserve the right to deny your cancellation. so it doesn't seem that weird for online shops like that

Gundam Extreme VS never had an NA release. Gundam Extreme VS Force will probably flop hard enough to stop another one for several years.

And Yes Asia is based in Hong Kong so your protections are different from what you get at Gamestop.

Not allowing cancellations is bullshit. Shoot them an email and if they don't cancel it tell them you'll do a chargeback and follow through if they still don't budge

If only it wasn't linked in the first post of the thread.

And also if only all the people who bring it up weren't already regular posters of that thread
