Gundam fans in Japan and worldwide really do love their giant robots. Multiple showings of the Life-sized Gundam and a permanent Gundam cafe in Akihabara is not enough so the next logical step is to have a mini theme park! No, that is not a typo. Starting in April fans of the Gundam series will be able...

Being the rabid Gundam fan I am I was disappointed that I was unable to see the Life-sized RX-78 Gundam in Tokyo or in Shizouka. My last chance to see it was when it returned disassembled in the name of charity but I unfortunately missed out on that opportunity too because I wouldn’t arrive in...

The original Last Exile in my eyes is an anime classic and I was surprised that while searching through my archives I could find no post I had written on that series. Many years after the first series ended abruptly in a brain-twisting cliffhanger the followup although not necessarily a sequel is...

Forgive me, I have not been a good anime fan lately and I have hardly been watching any new shows. Of the interesting Summer 2011 anime I listed I have only watched a couple episodes of of Blood-C. I am not sure if it’s a lack of time or  that the recent series have not been interesting enough...

My write-up on the third episode of the ongoing Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn series is extremely late.

Then came the trailers and...

I have been tweeting progress shots for what seemed like an eternity as this model takes the prize as the most complicated Gundam kit I have every completed. The model was sponsored by Hobby Search...

After it’s inaugural staging last year Anime Nation returned in 2011 bigger and better. Anime Nation 2011 was an epic event for fans of anime, cosplay, video games and Japan as patrons came from all over Jamaica to enjoy the event many of them wearing costumes or “cosplaying” as their...

I am very late onto the anime wagon for the new Summer 2011 series. At the time of this post I have yet to watch any episode of any of the new series and other than the X-Men anime I still have some catching up to do with some of the series I had been watching from my Spring 2011 anime list and even...

Anime Nation is back after being successful staged last summer. Anime Nation 2011 is now at a bigger and better location and promises to be even more fun than before. The Japanese anime exhibition and Cosplay/Costume rave will be held on July 24th in Kingston at Studio 38 on Trafalgar Road beginning at...
