[Lyrics] Mobile Suit Gundam U.C. Unicorn ED – Ryuusei no Namida [Kuriyama Chiaki]
The premiere of Gundam Unicorn’s excellent first episode a couple of weeks ago was one of the most exciting events of my recent life, and in the time since I’ve been snapping up all the Unicorn-related goods I can get my hands on. As soon as the OVA ED song leaked, it was my destiny …

[Lyrics] Muv-Luv Extra / Muv-Luv Unlimited / Akane Maniax OP – Muv-Luv [Kuribayashi Minami]
Honya’s been on a translation tear lately, but when she mentioned that her next project was going to be Kuribayashi Minami’s tune Muv-Luv (because no one else has translated it yet, apparently), I begged her to let me do it instead. “Muv-Luv” is one of my favorite songs, and Muv-Luv Unlimited/Alternative would be on my …

[Lyrics] Macross F Movie Insert Song pink monsoon [Sheryl Nome starring May’n]
Just when I had forgotten about the upcoming Macross F movie (due mid-November), a new single from Sheryl Nome (voiced by rising idol May’n) appeared! “pink monsoon” is a steamy song that really brings out Sheryl’s sultry idol image – my face was all red as I translated the lines! This is my first time …

OVA Confirmed for Gundam Unicorn
With the apparent lack of any new mecha series in the coming fall season, as well as the absence of any new Gundam animation this year despite the 30th anniversary of the franchise (though we did get that cool statue), I was getting a little impatient to hear something from the Sunrise/Bandai camp. Luckily, they …

My Gundam 30th Project: 1/100 Gundam Avalanche Exia
Right now, Gundam fans around the world are celebrating the official 30th anniversary of the appearance of the original RX-78-2 Gundam (which was today, by the way), so I figured I would do my part with a review of my recently-completed 1/100 scale Gundam Avalanche Exia Gunpla!

Late Impressions: Mobile Suit Gundam 00
I love the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, and every time a new chapter is added, I feel the need to step back and evaluate what it adds to the mythos as a whole. With Gundam 00 at its conclusion (for now), I have my own critical opinions and thoughts on the series to share. WALL OF TEXT …

May’n Answers My Question!
A few weeks ago, while I was in the middle of finishing Macross Frontier, Honya mentioned to me that DarkMirage was hosting an e-mail interview with May’n (the singing voice of Sheryl Nome) to commemorate her upcoming performance at AFA ’08 in Singapore. Anyone was invited to submit a question for the interview, and as a fan, …
