Break out the cake, it's a celebration bitches!!!
It’s been three years since I started this blog (well
three years since I started writing Anime reviews, you can find the dates on
older entries from 2015 so I say three).
As a writer, I’ve grown more confident sharing my thoughts on Anime and
learned a bit more about my tastes comparing now to what I was like twenty
years ago getting into the genre. I
could spend time reflecting on this newfound growth, but I wont for now. Instead, I’m writing to let you guys know
that to kick off Year 4 of the Gundam Anime Corner, I’m going to start it off
both big and right. And I’m gonna start
by dedicating it to this blogs namesake, Kidou Senshi Gundam.
I am pleased to announce…GUNDAM MONTH MARK II. This is my highly anticipated follow up to an
event I did my first year writing where I did a triple feature marathon of
three back to back Gundam movies: Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz; Gundam: Char’s
Counterattack; and Gundam F91. While I have
done tons of Gundam since then, I haven’t made an event out of them (except
maybe when I did a summer long marathon of Gundam 00). Anyway, Gundam Month Mark II will include
reviews of two OVAS: Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket and Gundam 0083: Stardust
Memory. I’ll also be dedicated four
weeks of Top 5 Wednesday’s to this month, hence my decision to announce it as
an event. The reviews will be coming a
bit frequently in some cases. Expect all
of Gundam 0080 to be rolled out in one week.
Gundam 0083 starts afterwards on normal schedule but the last two parts
will be posted in the last week of April (One Monday and One Friday). This frees up a little more space for some
titles to follow for the start of summer.
As you may have noticed, Gundam is a huge part of my
Anime viewing experience and I never shy away from the chance to give it it’s
proper due, especially reminding newer fans that there’s more to it (good or
bad) beyond Iron Blooded Orphans or Wing.
So here’s one of those chances.
The sequel I have been waiting to do for three years. Gundam Month Mark II begins April 3 with the
start of Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.
It uh...also doesn't hurt that im doing this in April when Gundam turns 38...so there. Special thanks to the folks at Gunpla101 that I met at Katsucon this past February. Chatting with you guys made me want to do this. Be sure to check out their Facebook and main pages linked bellow
Happy third blogging anniversary! Can't wait for April and your latest project.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm putting the finishing touches on the reviews for both shows and, ive gotta say, these have definitely been some of my favorites to write. I hope you enjoy them
