Bandai will launch an official clothing line based off in-universe clothing designs of the meta franchise, titled Strict-G, in specialty boutiques in Tokyo and Fukuoka starting this month.
Eh, I’d rather prefer to have quality R1 releases of Gundam shows, and not have to shell out $80 per 2 episode volume.
So, Pass.
Editor’s Note: I Threw this up in about two hours, and this is my first post in months. Don’t judge me.
Also Bahamut Six isn’t meant to be a political blog, but since SOPA/PIPA directly affects the future of this blog, I can’t exactly stay quiet about an issue that could have severe ramifications on how this blog would normally operate.
It’s been a while, folks. Haven’t completely abandoned the blog world, but real life has had a hand in more or less putting it waaay on the back burner. It happens. Working 6 days a week continuously and all of that other so-called fun stuff in the hodgepodge us humans call adulthood tends to do that.
And then some event will always drive me back to ranting via the keyboard…
I happen to make a comeback on a day when some of the heavy-hitters on the internets are taking a Rageshit-en masse in response to the legislation of two proposed bills in the US Congress, the House Bill, H.R. 3261, the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its cousin in the Senate, Senate Bill S. 968 The Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011, otherwise known as the PROTECT IP Act, or the cute and not-so-offensive-sounding name of PIPA (aww).
These bills, drafted with some massive lobbying and influence from the Record, Television and Film industry giants in the United States (who else?), would if passed, expand the power of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) to enforce its ability of the law to protect the interests of Intellectual Property Holders (IPH), specifically those of said Record, Television and Film industries by (supposedly) curbing the illegal downloading and streaming of media online, particularly to websites out of the reach of US jurisdiction. It would place the burden of “policing” potential infringing content squarely on intermediary services such as Internet Service Providers (ISP’s), by effectively BLACKLISTING any website for any content that the IPH deems infringing … even if it’s supposedly protected by Fair Use Standards, or If it’s even the IPH’s own content, because companies like Warner Bros. didn’t even give enough of a shit to bother to check.

Apparently, there was supposed to be a protest against TWU 234 Today.
However, in what amounts to some serious EPIC FAIL, Only two people showed up.
And they weren’t the protest organizers.
Let’s see how they failed:
- Poor People don’t use Twitter, so unless you mimeograph a bunch a flyers and post them in the ghetto, no one is going to notice.
- If the people who are most affected by the strike can’t get to the protest location, you’ve already lost.
- Lastly, if the protest location is no where near the object of the protest, you’re a Goddamned idiot.
EDITS Incomming later.
Doesn’t matter anymore. Strike’s over. I can ungrab my hands from around my ankles. Back to Mecha.
News on the Gundam/Mecha Animu front has been kinda slow lately. But there have been some Articles on Gundam 00 Special Edition II in the Anime mags, so it’s not a complete drag.
Other than that, in my city, we lost the World Series, and now were being held hostage by the semi-annual Tranist Strike.
Survey says, its gonna get a Shit-ton worse. The Union leader is playing celebrity “Get-Money” thug tatics, while working-poor people like me have to suffer. My 30 Minute Commute on the Subway is now a 5.5 mile, 2hr (One-Way) hike through North Philly. So, yeahh…
Better get those reviews going…
