What I want for Christmas

It's that time of the year! Christmas is a special time, it makes adults feel like kids again. Decorate the house with thousand of lights, wear ridiculous clothes of accessories, care about each other and brainstorm what would you want to give... or receive as a present. Well, these are the things I would love to (but surely won't) receive on Christmas!

Fun with Photoshop: ZZ Gundam for the NES

This week's entry is a fake cover for one of the few Gundam series that didn't have a video game based on it, Mobile Suit ZZ Gundam. I never watched this one (it wasn't released in the States) but I love almost everything Universal Century (the original timeline of the Gundam series). The main Mobile Suit appeared in various Gundam games later on (including Gundam vs. Z Gundam for the PS2). If the game was made for the 8bit console, it would have been made by Bandai (the make almost everything Giant Robot related).

Gundam Reconguista in G will have a theatrical preview... in Japan

 Source: gundam.info
The newest entry in the popular Gundam meta series  will have a special preview this August. Showing only in 13 theaters across Japan for two weeks, this preview will show the first 3 episodes. The preview will also be internet streamed on the d Anime Store (it's in Japanese).The show will begin airing this fall in Japan on MBS.

This new entry marks the return of legendary director Yoshiyuki Tomino and it seems to take place years after "Universal Century" (the main Gundam timeline)now called "Regild Century". I'm really hyped for this project. Tomino has yet to let me down in a Gundam series (Turn A had a great story, even if the mecha design was... different). Hope this one makes it out of Japan on DVD at least.

(this is the Japanese dubbed clip, here's the English preview).
