The Apocalypse Is At Hand (...severe vanity)

[section9]

Well, folks, it looks as if the End is At Hand,

or a Hillary Presidency at the very least.

Yes, It has finally come to pass.

Those of use who are witness to the agony of live action costume contests at anime conventions feared that this might happen.

Live action Sailor Moon.

Ritual suicide is in order. And to think, I was foolish enough to believe that Western Civilization had a chance.....

[section9]

Oh well, at least there's Batboy...

Remember, like Horatius at the Bridge, or Ronald McDonald at the Gate, Batboy will defend us!

Anybody have any Geofront property?

Be Seeing You,

Gundam SEED is worse.

At least this is trying to be interesting...

[Gumption]

I'm trying to get it.

[section9]

I mean, this stuff is scary when they do live action. Live action anime when done by an underbudgeted Japanese studio is worse than any Godzilla film, even Godzilla vs. Rodan.

Which is pretty bad. BTW, they're spending a hundred million dollars to do a Live Action Evangelion, too.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[hole_n_one]

Remember, these are the same people that gave the world Yatta

[section9]

I'm not sure how to take the entire Gundam franchise. The homoerotic subtext of Gundam Wing sort of scared me off.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[freebilly]

Will they be doing live action anime porn? That's sure to be the next big craze....

[Jay D. Dyson]

Could be worse.

Could be DragonBall Z.

-Jay

[section9]

You should be shot for that. I've seen Yatta once, on VHS. Scary.

However, you'll now have to be punished. Yes, by a picture of everyone's favorite costume player from this year's Anime Expo in L.A., the "individual" who dressed as Faye Valentine. I hope you're happy.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

[hasegawasama]

Ugh I remember at Anime Expo last year there was someone like that... anime has become a joke here

[hasegawasama]

Already been done, already popular.

[prisoner6]

Noooooooo!

The only thing that comes even >close< to this - while admittedly not anime - is the long rumoured remake of "The Prisoner".

In fact I just called my son and his buddies who are sitting by a campfire at my house tonight to tell them about the "Sailor Moon" thing. There were loud screams, a few sobs and then the question, "Well, are the girls hot"?

Kidz....sigh.

The only homoerotic parts of Wing come from the dime-a-dozen yaoi fanfics.

Gundam as a whole is pretty good when done right, but terrible when done from a mold. SEED's only saving grace is that its characters are strong: the story, designs, and even music are pretty bad. You want to see some good Gundam series, take a look at Sentinel, V, Turn A, Zeta, and G.

[King Prout]

do you remember "Gunhed"?
yeech!

[coydog]

Don't forget Guyver!

[MetalHeadConservative35]

Gundam SEED is worse

what you talkin about gundam seed rules!! i love that series (im up to episode 10)

hey i heard some guy dressed as vash the stampede too lol

[Capitalism2003]

this is the most disturbing pic I have ever seen....

[MetalHeadConservative35]

chris,check out SEED its not like that at all...gundam wing ruled,but all the yaoi stuff that came afterward sucked

[Buggman]

Oh, good, I'm not the only one who thinks Seed rocks. Granted, I'm only twenty episodes in so there's still a chance for it to get messed up, but it's a worthy relaunch of the Mobile Suit Gundam concept (which was originally inspired by the suits in Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers, btw).

[MetalHeadConservative35]

designs, and even music are pretty bad. You want to see some good Gundam series, take a look at Sentinel, V, Turn A, Zeta, and G.

G gundam i havent seen yet but by the looks of it its ok...(music sucked though) turn a gundam looks kinda boring check out Gundam X that series is cool and music is awesome

btw im gonna defend seed cause if ive found somthing better than gundam W then thats impressive i used to be like the biggest Wing fan
