Lightning Review of Gundam 00 Portraits 2 : Setsuna and Graham

Some time back in May, I saw this on the shelves of Comics Connection. Alas, the shopkeepers had just changed hands and I didn’t know them well enough to get them to find out the exact pieces within each tikam (randomly packed) package. On the spur of the moment today, I muster up my courage to ask the shopkeeper to help me look for setsuna and graham. Was expecting a brief retort but surprisingly, he agreed. Wee. Pictures of my lucky hoard coming up!

Gundam 00 in Reality

It’s 2307 A.D. Three centuries from now, the very foundation of the world’s economy and stability is depleted. Oil - the entity that gives forth energy to mankind had been synonymous to the advancement and progress of human civilization. However now it is no longer available in the 24th century, mankind looks to one  energy source and harness its infinite potential. Supported by three main pillars called the space elevators, an array of solar panel circling the entire planet is developed to harvest this renewable energy and had since, becomes the new standard of energy and also world domination. Then along came the Celestial Being.

And they began with the ISS.

Yes, this futuristic fiction had grasped our imagination and dared us to think of the impossible of this very plausible scenario. But how far does the reality goes? I have little doubts on the Gundams though the future of humanoid is not excluded from the equation. Solar energy is a little farfetched but it is still likely to happen. However, there won’t be any cast of doubts about the space elevators.

Gundams not included.

Gundam Destiny Haruhi Custom

Oh yes! I think some of you might have known about this for quite some time already. So what would happen when Gundam Destiny meets Haruhi. The obvious choice is to build a custom MS Gundam for Haruhi. But that did not meant literally.

Well, I got this while checking out Danny Choo’s blog after not checking it for so loooooong (no thanks to the firewall at my campus that blocks Danny Choo as adult material, omgwtfbbq?!). I knew Danny would go for that extent one of these days. And he did. Click here for more mugshots.

Nabari no ou dropped! Exia in singapore!

Yeap, I have told Brian I would dropping it due to

1) Lack of interest, the plot is soooo predictable/recycled I can’t stomach it anymore. (like uh, naruto all over again, condensed style, yes, the main character has a different personality, no, he doesn’t save the whole show)

2) Never did like the art in the 1st place.

3) Much mooaaar better moola out there!

I haven’t been posting much due to my part-time job in a secondary school taking much precedence (mid year examinations = mark mark mark, go thru, clear sh!t, do this do that!) BUT it’s finally the school holidays meaning more time for anime, blogging and…MECHA!

Yeap..and I still haven’t open up custom union flag and exia…just glad they flew safely over.

On a sidenote, I managed to finish Ghost hound before the mid year exams, might give it a well deserved post. Since I am ‘done’ with nabari, was wondering which anime should I blog about.

Current watchlist:

Blockbuster styled mecha anime:

• Macross frontier - Space, Sci-Fi, Mecha, green hair lolis, what more needs to be said?
• Code geass R2 (Boss took it!) - The One.

B grade action comedy

• Allison to Lillia - It took off well, ended on a high note within 4 episodes and went into a slow slumber by the 6th episode. Ah well.

Have a good laugh! Watch these:

• Soul eater - Shinigami with cranky sense of humour. Fantastically unrealistic it’s hilarious.
• Toshokan Sensou - An original timeline which pits 2 different factions with their own agenda you MAY find amusing but not to the extent that you won’t take it seriously.

The kind you watch after kid’s bedtime (Art not as flashy as code geass nor macross but it’s the plot that counts):

• Golgo 13 - Japanese James Bond, guns, bombs, girls, ok I lied, no plot, it’s all macho action here
• Himitsu The Revelation - Uses pretty sensitive issues (gay, aging population) as plot material with focus on a section of the police using a special device to retrieve images from the victim’s brain after death to solve cases. Intriguing anime to say the least

KIV-ed

• Kurenai - Too slow in the plot just like ghost hound.

So which should I pick to replace Nabari? Hm.
