Missing 1/1 Scale Gundam in Japan?

The 1/1 scale RX-78 Gundam opened officially yesterday, July 11th 2009. It will be on display for 2 months at Odaiba’s Shiokaze Park. Fans of Gundam should really make a trip down there to see the magnificent 1/1 scale Gundam. I know I will!

Fret not if you are unable to make your way down to Japan personally to view the 50-foot-tall Gundam, you can view him digitally from Japan Playstation Home.

Needless – Episode 1

I’m trying to think of the appropriate words to describe this chaotic series. If I had to compare it to another anime… I’d say its some mutant love child between Gurren Lagaan, Yugioh, Fist of the North Star, and Mega Man… But that doesn’t even begin to explain it. There’s some sort of plot about the “Black Spot” and people with super powers called “Needless” that some sort of organization is after… but basically what I saw were Explosions, Piles of Dead corpses, Girls who don’t know what bras are, …

Sackboy Goes Ghostbusting

A fan of LittleBigPlanet, I always liked jumping around and slapping people in the game. Well remember weeks ago the GhostBusters game was out? Seems that Media Molecule decided to release the LBP GhostBuster DLC next week(Japan PSN >_>). More costumes and skins? Urgh.

The recent update of LBP on the PS3, 1.16 is a 80mb update. No idea what is in stored for us since most of them are patches for bugs in the game – around 30-40mb.
I am currently putting off all LBP Costumes DLC because there is just …

I really like this figurine. Black and yellow colors of her outfit definitely makes me want to order this figurine – but looking at the release date, September, is enough to tell me “don’t order!” T_T. Do you like this …

Tamagotchi TV Anime to Premiere

Tamagotchi Anime will premiere this coming October.

The timeslot has not been determined yet, but it will definitely start showing early October.
Each episode will have two 15-minute, self-contained stories. The stories will follow the daily lives of the Tamagotchi and feature new characters and settings.
Don’t know whether anyone will bother to catch this since this is most likely targeted at kids and girls(I’m a girl but I don’t fancy a tamagotchi anime XD). I have a feeling it will be as horrible as the anime series Maplestory. I remember lots of …
