Giant Mecha News

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-just-gundam-anymore dept.

da3dAlus writes "Starting next week, Monday Feb 24th, from 4-5pm est Cartoon Network's Toonami starts a Giant Robot Week. The lineup currently includes episodes of Nadesico, Dia-Guard, Robotech, and Evangelion (yes, NGE is slated for the block, but only on Mon/Tues). Also in Evangelion news, AnimeNewsNetwork reports Gainax is finalizing the re-release of the boxed set of NGE. This set includes re-worked (audio/video enhanced) versions of the original 26 episodes, the 4 'remake' eps from laser disc, and a bonus disc with creditless opening/closing video, trailers, and live-action edition of the film. The final cut of the Evangelion movie-- Death(True)2, Air, and Magokoro wo Kimi ni--will also be included. The discs will be in a limited edition art box, and will retail for ~$322 on or about June 25th, with a reservation deadline of April 14th. After that, the new set will be released separately without the box."

  2. Kids stuff? by ibjhb · · Score: 1, Troll

    How many people seriously watch this? Am I mistaken saying that just 'kids' do? I know my tweleve year old syster does, but I didn't think anybody past say, o, fourteen watched this kind of thing...

    Also shows the next generation coming up. At tweleve I was learning to program and learning everything and anything I could about computers. I guess 'kids' of today see the computer as some of us see cars or lightbulbs and don't have the excitement or interest in computers anymore.

  3. MODERATORS, YOU FAIL IT! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Moderators are on crack and fail it. Moderators suck. They're all niggers. Fuck you. Eat shit and die.

  4. Warning Anime is nothing more than child porn by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Anime promotes the unhealthy interaction of adults and children. It places them in awkward positions and is enjoyed by pedophiles throughout the World.

    Michael Jackson watches and enjoys anime (enough said).

    This sick form of entertainment must be stopped at all costs.

  5. I HATE Giant Robot Movies. by A55M0NKEY · · Score: 0, Troll

    They are SOOOOOOO gay. Urotsukidoji: The Legend of the Overfiend was better. At least it had a 1000 foot tall purple penis monster destroy Tokyo. Bar-boo-ra, Bar-boo-ra...
