Setsuko's VA confirmed to have been working on SRW Z2.

Welcome back in the game, unlucky girl! Here's hoping Rand will be around too.

So, I've been on a binge of 90's martial artist anime, which ended with me watching Gowcaizer last night.

More Gainaxing than you can shake a stick at, and so much fanservice it's ALMOST porn. Let me put it this way - every time one of the scantily clad females gets knocked back, they fall on their butts with their legs spread.

It's shameful fun overall, but for god's sake get it subbed. The English release cut almost half an hour worth of story, which while not making it entirely unpalatable, often leaves you with a WTF expression on your face as characters reference events that didn't show up.

Currently downloading Kekko Kamen.
Gendou Ikari is basically Gregory House in Kaminashades. This is FACT.

Asakim: Heh, who do you think you are to oppose the Shurouga?
Heero: I am you. Mission accepted.

Voice actor jokes will never get old. Ever.

Seriously though. Will Asakim be in this? I killed him during my playthrough of SRW Z. He should stay dead.

I seriously doubt he won't get at least a cameo, since they already have Hikaru "I work for free" Midorikawa involved.

Also, Asakim has too many fangirls (and fanboys) not to be in this. Despicable human(?) being he may be, he is just way too popular. Rand's route does not kill him either, only Setsuko's does. And Z2's canon is a mix of both of these routes. So most likely we'll see the evil bastard again.

So... I watched the first Kekko Kamen movie.

I'd say I feel dirty, but that's not exactly the right word to use...

I mean, I expected ridiculousness. Perviness. Boobies.

But I did NOT expect fourth-wall breaking.

"You should get going now, for your own good and for the plot."

"I'm sorry Mr. Nagai!"

*cue Go Nagai's face appearing on the moon*

"That's okay, I forgive you."

Seriously, that shit is fucking hilarious. And that's before you even consider the basic premise...

The Inspector 17
[spoiler]Yuki and Carla are in Rathgriths (or whatever they're called) for the first time.

Kuro and Shiro are all X_X

Black Angelg what?

Axel tears apart the Alteisen in his still-not-Soulgain-for-some-reason, Einsts show up, Excellen gets introduced to tentacle rape.

There's a new ED, though it's made of clips from the series. The next ep preview has Alfimi interrupt Axel, who says her voice bothers him for some reason.

And no RyuKoOh, nor did it appear in the next ep preview.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
Axel curb stomping the Alt with an Ashsaber? Where's my epic soulgain showdown? :shakefist

And it was suposed to be Sanger Zonvolt rescuing Kyosuke! Actually, Sanger doesn't do much this episode.

Neither did Wodan Dymir for the matter. I DEMAND MORE GIANT SWORD MANLINESS!

Really a shame we will get to see very little of Tiger/Dragon mecha at this rate.

Loved the Black Angelg tough!  Ryusei aparently also loved, because he forgot he can combine his team into a giant robot again.

Excellen gets introduced to tentacle rape.
What makes you think that? We  know she already was abducted by the einsts once. And she doesn't seem specially suprised by it. :p

[spoiler]Also, that Inspector mech used a MAP weapon. Remember when an enemy commander said "It's Cybuster and Valsione! Watch out for MAPWs!"? Yeah, neither do I.

Judging from the ED I think they're trying to put more focus on Kyosuke and Excellen right now, which is why Sanger wasn't the cavalry. Speaking of which, their stategy of showing how badass Sanger is seems to be "show occasional shots of Sanger sitting with a serious expression, don't give him any lines", which isn't really working that well. :p

As for the mecha which haven't shown up yet, the first member of the "lineup" shot in the OP is RyuKoOh, and Soulgain is shown right at the start. I don't think they ever explained why Axel stopped using the Soulgain.[/spoiler]

The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

The most I know about Go Nagai would be EPIC SIDEBURNS.

Yes, I posted it at GitP. Because it would get more comments there. But I'd still like comments from the people here.

Summer Glau as C.C? Sorry, I cannot agree with this. While graceful and able to act in all the appropriate ways, Summer does not fit appearance-wise. She is far too... well, cute, with a round face and everything. Not enough sharpness and alienating type of beauty in her looks.

Also, her fanboys annoy me but that's a subjective opinion.

Who shall play Suzaku? Do you accept troll ideas?

Pretty sure it was a joke based on the way River Tam is introduced.

Still, for CC we need someone with an epic ass. That's the only way to get the character right.
