ご苦労さん, everybody! Giant Robots at Work is officially in the bag. We had a good time kicking off the panel programming at Otakon's first ever Mecha Kaikan. Let us know if you stopped by and what you thought!

For context, this banner is from the first episode of the short-lived ghost hunting show Ghosts in the Hood. It has lived rent-free in my mind ever since I first saw it

I had this custom printed as a Halloween decoration for me and me alone

Large vinyl banner on the floor that reads:
NO GHOST PROBLEM
-O.P.O Approved

Like imagine watching Halloween 2, and then Halloween 3 comes out and thinking THAT'S the bad one

Vampire Doll is by far the best of them.

Don't know if these count as canonical but nobody used to know what Messiah of Evil was and everybody apparently hated Halloween III: Season of the Witch.

Honestly, calling SotW a bad movie even just within the context of the Halloween franchise is nuts

throwing this prompt from Twitter in here. what examples you got?

tweet by @Caol_MacCormaic that reads, uncs of film twitter: what are some movies that are canonical now but were basically unknown when we were coming up? like Come and See or Possession. inversely: what are some movies or filmmakers that seem to have fallen off? (Takashi Miike comes to mind)

I'll give it due credit, the Economy is a very cute version of the Ingram.

Oh, no separate listings for G-Self's different equipment either! Honestly tho listing all the variants is kind of only going to split the vote on those designs

Tom Alucardznable @tomaznable.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah it does, I need to pick up a Gaeon at some point

They also count each version of the Unicorn separately, along with each one's respective Unicorn and NT-D modes.

Tom Alucardznable @tomaznable.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah it's interesting, it seems like they're pretty strict in their definition for everything but G-Reco

Tom Alucardznable @tomaznable.bsky.social · 1d

The G-Reconguista section on the Vote Gundam site is kind of wild. I had to see if G-Lucifer was in there (of course it is) but also, there's like half of the G-IT team's MS? If you thought G-Lucifer was a stretch, that's nothing compared to the Girod. The Turn A section doesn't even have Turn X!

Screenshot of the G-Reco section of the Vote Gundam site. Includes G-Self, G-Arcane, G-Lucifer, Gaeon, Kabakali, Jastima, G-Rach, and Girod.
