The March to Year 13

Man oh man let me tell you: Scheduling for 2026 is proving to be the most challenging since I started this blog back in 2014.  I’ve got a bunch of titles I’d like to look at and some are at the mercy of waiting for a US release date.  There’s been a lot of shuffling around but I think I’ve got things locked in from March to July/Mid August.  Why bring this up?  Because March, the month of the Gundam Anime Corner’s Birthday, has been a whirlwind of ideas that I haven’t been able to settle on.  Plus, there’s that aforementioned unrevealed US Release Date.  Yeah I was really hoping that after it’s release in Japan back in January, Mobile Suit Gundam Hathaway: The Sorcery of Nymph Circe would see a quick turn around on it’s arrival stateside.  Sadly, no such date has been announced, which means it’s not going to be this years 12^th Anniversary Review.  Don’t get me wrong, once it does arrive I’ll pencil it in somewhere before the end of the year.  But what does this all mean for March?
 
Simply put, some ideas are being held off for later in the years like Lazarus.  I think I originally announced Gasaraki for review in March but that’s been postponed til an undetermined date.  Sounds like I’ve got nothing.  On the contrary, I have plenty, like a slew of stand alone movie reviews that I haven’t found a home for on the schedule…until now.  This March will be a grab bag of cyberpunk and scifi films and OVAs from anthologies like Robot Carnival and Neo Tokyo to more famous action fare like Roujin-Z and Battle Angel.  As for what title is taking the coveted Special Anniversary Review Slot, well I stumbled across footage from an Anime I’ve never even heard of before and has seldom been spoken of in the legendary catalogue of the studio behind it.  I’ll keep the title a surprise but suffice to say, I’m pumped to take a look at it. 
 

Buuuuut if Gundam Hathaway 2 does surface sometime in March then we might be seeing some last minute changes but let’s play that by year eh?  

Is anything else coming in March?  Who’s to say but more plans might be revealed when we get to the Blog’s 12^th Anniversary on March 31, 2026.  Til then, keep an eye out and see ya Monday for Roujin-Z, right here a the Gundam Anime Corner.
