February and Katsucon have come and gone and now we’re in
the home stretch to the Gundam Anime Corner’s 10th Anniversary. And once that’s done, Year 11 kicks off on
April 1. Since this is huge, momentous
occasion I’ve been planning some equally big things for the month of March. As
has become customary it seems, I’m here to give you a breakdown of the goodies
coming in the next couple of weeks and we celebrate my blogs 10th
Birthday.
If you’ll recall, my first Top 5 Wednesday in January was
a list of potential titles I could make the official 10
th
Anniversary Review.
If you’re in need of
a refresher, head on over to the list here:
http://gundamanimeblog.blogspot.com/2024/01/t5w438-top-5-titles-im-considering-for.html
I did a poll on which of these five options fans would want to see take the
coveted slot and the decision has been made.
What that decision is, you’ll have to keep checking in to find out.
That’s right, I’ll be posting the reviews in
order from least voted up to the winner on March 31, 2024.
There’s one small hiccup though.
As I theorized, Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
Freedom still hasn’t made landfall stateside, though considering how much
business it’s doing at the Japanese Box Office I’m surprised it hasn’t
yet.
And I’ve pretty much exhausted most
of the Gundam options over the last ten years (more on that in a second), save
for
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, which will kick off Year
11 on April 1.
So I need a fifth title
to look at.
While I figure that out,
enjoy my reviews of
Doomed Megalopolis,
Spirited Away: Live on Stage,
Macross Zero and
The Boy and the Heron throughout the month of
March.
New Miniseries: Ranking Gundam
When I mentioned having nearly exhausted a lot of my
Gundam review options save for G Witch, I wasn’t kidding. Turns out I’ve looked
at more than 40 titles in the Gundam Franchise from TV Series to Movies to OVAs,
from
Mobile Suit Gundam to
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans.
Seeing as how the franchise turns 45 in April
and my blog proudly carries its name, I’m gonna be taking a walk down memory
lane with
Ranking Gundam.
This 4
part miniseries will see me ranking every single Gundam title I’ve reviewed at
the Anime Corner for the last 10 years from Worst to Best based on the scores
I’ve given them. There’s gonna be a lot each week, upwards of maybe 12 titles a
piece but more than likely I’ll just post my final thoughts from their actual
reviews or type up a quick paragraph of fresh thoughts for the few I’ve done in
compilation reviews.
Schedule wise, this event will kick off Next Thursday, March 4th, replacing Gunpla Builder Thursday.
As for Top 5 Wednesday and First Impression
Friday, they’ll continue as usual. Actually,
the end of the month will see my 450th T5W, as well as the Mid
Season Finale of FIF with new episodes set to return after Otakon in
August. Well that about covers
everything I’ve got planned. Be sure to
check out a new episode of First Impression
Friday covering the first episode of Netflix's Adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I'll see you Next Monday for the first of five mystery reviews, as we start the March to Year 11, right here at the Gundam
Anime Corner.
