I've been really entertained as to how we've managed to go from Gundam to
Iraq and the real world of weapons prototyping, but it really feels like
we've not only beaten the horse dead, we've started killing the whole
ranch. And we're waiting for the foals to be born, and beat on them
too. --------------------------------------------------
Amen - Anime is a hobby I enjoy to get away from the "real" world. Same with
Sci-Fi, manga, Gunpla, and all those other strange little things I enjoy
with myself and friends. (and, coincidentally, drive my wife nuts on
occasion)
I remember an exchange from the old Gundam Project message board many moons
ago when the same sort of Gundam discussion morphed into a political one.
Mark Simmons ended the thread and commented that the disagreement had gone
more than a little off topic.
I enjoyed the aside from Dr. Core about the Hermes and other topics like it
and the thread about how the latest SD/Mushai (sp?) Gundam is grounded in
Chinese mythology, even if I really didn't have anything to contribute to
them. But when things start going from Gundam to Iraq, etc... I start tuning
them out because I could see the same discussions on CNN or FOX news at all
hours of the day. (The one about the 6/4 obituary was sadly funny, however)
Let's give this poor horse a Viking funeral and argue about important things
here - Like, for instance, could Stargazer be better if it wasn't released
just as a compilation DVD of the ONA or if it was turned into a full blown
movie with new animation included?
Just my $0.02 - or whatever small denomination of your favorite currency is.
