I think the animation quality of MSG is excellent both for its time and today. I look at something like MSG as one looks at the "stylized" graphics of Nintendo's Wii titles. They were able to stack up against "technologically superior" games graphically because they had a unique style. Looking at the vividness of the… Read more
it was quite funny actually. We tried to just power through the buffering, but after the umpteenth interruption during the fight between unicorn and banshee we just said "forget it! Let the thing download! Were starting an extreme versus tournament!" Read more
Just Watched it on PSN, and it was excellent. Universal century will always be the best! Read more
What I love so much about Unicorn is how it makes Newtypes the thematic center of its story. That's a serious void in UC; yes, Newtypes are front and center in anything Tomino, but they're usually a vehicle for plot progression, character drama, or both.

Burned through episodes 1-6 throughout the entire day before launching headfirst into episode 7, only to be plagued with bandwidth issues because one of our member's wi-fi… Read more

And as a music fan, the 7th episode doesn't disappoint.
Originally started four years ago as a six-part anime movie adaptation of a novel series, Gundam Unicorn has finally…
Reader ghostlolol dropped a 50fps, 36mb gif (not this one up top) into Kirk's Xbox One post from earlier today. It's…
Wow, it's a good thing no one here in the US pays exorbitant markups for translated games which are no longer available...

I read this as "Real Coconut" for some reason.
Concept art of Sakurai's car:
Talking about what games he'd like to play, Sakurai gave several examples. "Personally, I'd like to play Jumping Flash! It'd probably be quite scary, though. You could probably make a crazy Love Plus game as well. A horror game like Resident Evil or Fatal Frame could be good, too." Read more
Is this really that unusual? There's tons of people who pay insane prices for physical copies of games that are available cheaply through download services. 170,000 yen is extreme, but there's plenty of games over US $100 out there. Read more
Epic Spoilers from the first chapter from a person who can't read Japanese! I just look at the pictures and make up a rough approximation of the story! (And it's really hard to hide spoilers so here's a picture of a huge spoiler).
