PostHeaderIcon T.H.A.T. Blog: Suzumiya Haruhi 2, Episode 14- And Various Things Happened

We got some new swimsuits and summer outfits, and then same stuff happened as before. I think this was the first time I’ve ever been bored watching an episode of Haruhi. Not even joking, I’m completely out of interesting things to say about the same events we’ve experienced multiple…

PostHeaderIcon AX09: VIZ Media Liveblog

Okay, VIZ’s panel doesn’t actually start for another ten minutes ish, but it looks like everyone thought they were going to start at 3 instead of 3:30, so they might start early, so I thought I’d get the liveblog going early. (I knew they were starting at 3:30, but I got here early ’cause I’m awesome like that. And because I’m trying to avoid Internet difficulties causing delays.)

Anyway, everyone’s sitting here just watching a collection of someone’s funny images folder on the big screen, which is actually proving rather fun. But I see the VIZ reps up at the panel, so hopefully theyll start soon!

PostHeaderIcon Gundam Senki Preview Video

Wow, for those of you waiting for a Gundam game that takes place in the Universal Century and will feature 3rd person combat, then wait no more (well until the game is released.) Gundam Senki for the Playstation 3 will feature a revamped RX-78, which is the original Gundam we all know and love. Not only that, but this game will also feature a metric ton of original anime footage, created by Sunrise. This footage will also mend in with the actual gameplay as well; like a character’s head suddenly popping up on your screen complaining about how your soul is held down by gravity, for example.

 
 

The story is about an officer in command of the Earth Federation’s special unit called the Phantom Sweep Team. There job is to hunt down Zeon remnants at the end of the One Year War. Of course Zeon can never except defeat, so a unit of theirs called the Invincible Knights are launching a counteroffensive of their own.

The game is looking great so far, and hopefully its better than Crossfire, which was a PS3 launch title (and a POS as well.) Essentially, it’s like getting an OVA and a game in one package, so you can’t go wrong with that.

Whoa, it’s really her!? Or does this episode show the mysterious “Drei” that the fans of the original game have been talking about? Anyway, this was another excellent episode from this series, even ignoring that final plot twist in the end. It was all about seeing the relationship between…
