By Mat K. There are quite a few books this week, and also a lot of premiers, so let’s jump right into it. Finally, after you have all waited with bated breath, here comes the first volume of Black Butler by Yana Toboso (many of you might still know it as Kuroshitsuji). For anyone not [...]

By Christopher Troy Heya folks! Since I mentioned the Dynames in last week’s review, I figured I would review that kit first first, as I already have it constructed, and I’ve mentioned it twice so far in my articles. It’s actually my favorite of the OO Gundams, and I figured it would be a good [...]

By Keith It’s that time again- time for part 3 of the HG Arche build. We’re starting to get to some of the more fun bits, but also some of the more annoying ones, especially for those of us who paint every bit of our kits. A series of paint-related mishaps this week cost me [...]

By Loran Ever since Bandai started making new kits of some of their class mecha back in the nineties, builders have been looking for ways to add some of the MSV designs to the ranks. Bandai loves giving some of these designs the Master Grade treatment, but they go largely neglected on High Grades. So [...]

By Christopher Troy Despite (in my opinion) a weak 2nd Season (also see Code Geass R2). One of the things I liked about Gundam 00 was how unique the mecha design was for the series. In Season 1, most of the Meister’s (fancy way of referring to the main pilots of 00) were pretty thin [...]

By Unkiedev IDW Has surpassed Dark Horse and Image last week to take up the mantle of the industries third largest publisher. How things change. How did they do it? There’s no magical secret, they did the exact same thing Dark Horse and Image did in the first place. Aggressively seeking out comic book properties [...]

By Loran Waterslide decals are sort of a staple of model kits. I’m not quite sure how far these things go back, but my dad was using them on airplane models when he was a kid. Sure, most Bandai kits these days use those tacky stickers and those frustrating dry-transfer decals, but a lot of [...]

By Keith Welcome back, model-monkeys! Last time you were subjected to my semi-coherent pontification, we began construction of Bandai’s High Grade 00-series Arche Gundam. This week we’ll be continuing where we left off- moving on with construction, and getting some paint on this thing. As I mentioned in my last article, I use an airbrush [...]

Well then, now that the initial flood weeks have gone by we are left with a much shorter release list, but we will not let you down! First off, Viz is releasing a couple new Japanese novels, those special kind with the anime flavor without actually being related to any one series. Slum Online by Hiroshi Sakurazaka (the writer of All You Need Is Kill) is about about boy named Etsuro who is a college freshman whose life sucks. So of course he gets drawn into the alluring world of MMORPGs where he can be an awesome karate master who can handle anything. In his digital fantasy, who will be his greatest opponent: the seemingly invisible Slasher Jack, or Etsuro’s would-be girlsfriend Fumiko?
