We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
I know we have some Gundam fans out there. Get ready for FUNimation’s release of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans. The complete season one will be coming soon! Here’s the trailer from FUNimation’s YouTube channel:
Solarrio has shared with us his single “Treadmill” now he wants to share the music video he did for the single. The video is shoot in as he walks through different locations in Tokyo. The one location that stood out for me was just 19 seconds into the music video he is standing outside the Mobile Suit Gundam Museum, one of the many places I and my family would love to see ourselves. So see some sites with Solarrio as you enjoy his music video for “Treadmill” through his YouTube channel – Richard:

I have posted before about the Diver City Tokyo Plaza, but I wanted to do so again. If you happen to be traveling to Tokyo and love the Gundam franchise Diver City Tokyo Plaza is a stop you will definitely want to visit. If you can’t Ken Ikuhara-Gross has posted several pictures and brief history of the site on animenewsnetwork.com. Above are three of the images he posted in his article. Their are several more and will make you want to make a trip to see the Plaza. On the outside of the Plaza is a life size RX-78-2 Gundam (which is the first picture above) and in the plaza itself is a cafe and memorabilia shop. The 7th floor houses two museums, another gift shop and a Strict-G clothing store. Make the jump over to AnimeNews Network to view all of the other cool photos and thanks to Ken for sharing: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2016-03-04/gundam-front-the-ultimate-tour/.99376
The latest Gundam title is Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans and is already showing in Japan. With other Gundam properties coming to North America hopefully this one will arrive eventually as well. Check out the short TV add that is airing for the show in Japan:
The Japanese Retailers seem to have the coolest connections than anywhere else. The 7 Eleven’s in Japan has teamed up with Bandai again for a store promotional. Starting mid-January the stores will begin selling an exclusive Gundam model kit. Which is pictured above. If we could get our stores to do promotionals like this it would be really cool.

Toyota is streaming Sunrise’s promotional video for Toyota’s Auris collaboration car with Char Aznable of Mobile Suit Gundam. You know I love this types of promotionals, wish we could get more here just to have fun. Check it out below.
The Char Auris that was debuted last year as a custom vehicle may now come to market. Toyota is looking the bring the Char Auris hatchback to market this year and is doing an additional Gundam crossover by saying it is the product of Toyota teaming up with Zeonic Company, which is a fictional Gundam company from the series. I have to admit it looks kind of cool.
Since December has arrived I thought this was an appropriate video to show. Thanks to “darwinfish105” for posting the public unveiling of the Christmas lights on the life-size Gundam and entry way into the musuem in Diver City on YouTube. The display is slated to run until Christmas day.
The Japanese arm of Unilever is having a promo were exclusive super deformed Gundam figures will be packaged with AXE Fragrance Body Spray and Body Soap. The promotional will start September 13 and will continue while supplies last. Japan just has some cool promotional tie-ins, that’s all their is to it.
