Finally, the news I've been waiting for... G Gundam is finally get a remaster and BluRay release!

G Gundam will be released in two box sets, ¥34,000 a piece... which is roughly $310 US. If you didn't already know, Japanese BluRay box sets are ridiculously expensive for various, somewhat nonsensical, reasons. Good news is that there are some subbing groups who will likely release rips, potentially with the original US dub for your nostalgic pleasure. Still no word on whether RightStuf/Sunrise/Whomever will be releasing it stateside. I think it's a sure thing we'll be getting one, but probably not until mid to late 2017 at the earliest.

The first Japanese box set will be released September 27th, while the second comes out November 27th.

A new season of my chintzy, unwatched anime review video series, Otaku Evolution, is upon us, with new episodes starting this week! If you haven't seen the show, please check it out in one or all the links below to my three(!) different hosts for the series. It's essentially just me reviewing anime, but as a pixelated representation of myself living, roughly, in the world of my old OR: Side Story and Penguin Chronicles strips. Don't worry if you don't "get" the stuff with the pixels, it's just for presentation purposes (though I do put a lot of effort in). Don't forget to feed me hits, thumbs up, likes, shares, etc.

Hey, maybe somebody can revive Giant Robo: The Animation as a series of car commercials next. Maybe Yoroiden Samurai Troopers as subway terminal schedule animation. Or Bubblegum Crisis as a pre-flight instruction video for JAL.

So, it's been announced that Dragon Ball Z Kai will air on Toonami sometime this year. I'm probably preaching to the choir here on my own blog, but here's a few things some people ought to be aware of.

After much speculation, it was finally revealed that the new anime project from Hiroyuki Imaishi and Kazuki Nakashima – who last collaborated on the epic Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann – is the school battle action Kill la Kill, which will be produced by Studio Trigger. An official website has also been launched at http://www.kill-la-kill.jp/

Check out these AGE wears from the upcoming Universe Accel/Cosmic Drive game for the PSP. There are some pretty awesome designs in here. Nearly everything for AGE-2 is way better than what was shown in the series.

I'm a bit late to the party but I just found out about this epic Metal Gear Rex project from threeA. Take a look...

Supposedly the figure is going to be 16" tall and retail for around $500. It's set to go up for preorder sometime January 2012. When that happens you'll be able to pick it up via Bambaland. A few more pics...

Sad news today, comedian and otherwise hilarious mother fucker Patrice O'Neal has passed away due to complications from last month's stroke.

A new image has surfaced, apparently confirming previously leaked images of Gundam AGE's AGE-2...

Another image has come out, this time of a new unit all together...
