Same energy as a candidate at a political debate continuing to make their point while the moderator is trying to cut them off because they've run out of time
From the official Gundam election poll. They have little blurbs where the voice actors for Gundam pilots advocate for a Gundam that their character piloted. For some but not all of them they they asked them "ok but other than that what's another Gundam that you like" where they're allowed to pick a suit that their character did not pilot. These are the responses from Romi Park, the voice of Loran Cehack from Turn A Gundam.: Question: What is Romi Park's favorite Gundam? Romi Park: I think the "Moustache" is the biggest recommendation point. I remember looking at the first key visual poster and Director Tomino asking me, "What do you think of this Gundam?" I answered immediately, "It’s cool! It looks like a samurai helmet!" He laughed and said, "You know, right now, it's unpopular with the public." I didn't understand the meaning of that at the time, but after seeing countless other Gundams later... I feel like I understand it a little now. But you know, Turn A Gundam is the best. It becomes a washing machine, and it becomes a laundry pole. Only this Gundam can do such things. Question: And one more! What other Gundam does Romi Park recommend? Romi Park: Naturally, it is the Turn A Gundam. As mentioned before, it can be a washing machine, a laundry pole, it can make soap bubbles, you can put a cow in its chest, you can throw the moustache as a boomerang, and it can sprout beautiful wings with the Moonlight Butterfly... There is no other Gundam that stays so close to your daily life. That is why I will push for Turn A Gundam for the rest of my life.

Important update: I have received word from insiders that Crunchyroll executives have deemed the user backlash to be small enough that their subtitle enshittification & OOONA plans will NOT be cancelled, only delayed.

I have added an update to the article. There's a summary at the top now too.

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason
daiz.moe/crunchyroll-...

A ton of research and effort went into this one. This is the article to read to get to the bottom of Crunchyroll's subtitle changes!

Replies here will show up as comments (eventually)
Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.

If you want to look at poorly aged things, just look at Mighty No 9 comics that people made long before the game came out. They often revolve around the evil Capcom Man beating up/imprisoning Megaman, who tells Beck "dw you'll carry my legacy", and Beck then looks at the sunset while Inafune smiles

I sometimes read old gaming magazines and stumbled upon this "babe of the year" section from Playstation: The Official Magazine.

If I was the editor I would have gently suggested this writer be put down like a rabid dog

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

Elnora holding her baby Eri in her lap in the cockpit of the Gundam Lfrith in episode 0 of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury. Its been edited into a public safety poster. "Is this a safe sleep environment for your baby? No! This is a Gundam!" In bright pink text. Then in smaller text "put your baby to sleep flat on their back in a crib, bassinet, play yard, bedside sleeper, or other product designed for safe sleep. If your baby falls asleep in a car seat or other product not designed for sleep, move them to a safe sleep place." Then the logo and acronym of the USCPSC. CPSC.gov

I need you all to understand that I'm not exaggerating when I say that prior to 2000, it was always at least ten different miracles any video games ever got localized, no matter what state they came out in, especially between Japanese and English. The sheer misery of the process described here...

Ryoichi Hasegawa on the localisation process for the Japanese version of Ecco the Dolphin (released in June 1993 in Japan):
xcancel.com/rio_hasegawa...
It was back in the early 90s, a time when there was no internet, no email, no Excel, no text files, no TrueType fonts—nothing of what we have today. I had to come up with a solution to deliver all the text data to the developer in Hungary (Novotrade), where no one spoke Japanese. First, I created bitmap images of all the hiragana and katakana characters, as well as commas, periods, exclamation points, question marks, and two types of overstrikes (two dots/circles), something like this: ・・・■■■・・・・・・・・・・ ・・・・■■・・■■■・・・・・ ■■■■■■■■■■■・・・・・ ・■■■■■■■■・・・・・・・ ・・・・■■・・・・・・・・・・ ・・・・■■・■■・・・・・・・ ・・・■■■■■■■■■・・・・ ・・■■■■■■■■■■■・・・ ・■■・■■・■■・・■■■・・ ・■■・■■・■■・・・■■・・ ■■・・■■■■・・・・■■■・ ■■・・・■■・・・・・■■■・ ■■・・■■■■・・・・■■・・ ■■■■■・■■・・・■■・・・ ・■■■・・・・・・■■・・・・ ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ I then printed all characters page by page and FAXED nearly 100 pages to the developer, and their artist converted them into nicely shaded Japanese fonts. Each character was assigned a code based on rules such as: H for hiragana, K for katakana 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 for vowel rows A, K, S, T, N, H, M, Y, R, W for consonant columns d for overstriking dots, c for overstriking circles sp for space (Note: I might not remember all the rules perfectly now, lol.) For example, the phrase "こんにちは" should be converted to something like: H05K, H05W, H02N, H02T, H01H The developer sent me all the in-game dialogues via fax. I translated them and assigned each string a number for easy reference, instead of saying something like "the third window of the second dolphin in stage 2." Now here's the best part: once I finished translating all the dialogues, I typed them into a word processing program (like an early version of WordPad), then converted each letter to its corresponding code, character by character. I printed all of this out and faxed dozens of pages to the developer, who then had to convert them back into dialogue data. To my surprise, the system we created was quite robust. There were only a few text-related bugs, mostly caused by my typos. I still work in game localization. It feels like we were in the stone age compared to today's methods, but I still cherish those moments.

Tezuka & Ishinomori both died at 60. Mizuki (the creator of GeGeGe no Kitarō) died at 93. I think about this a lot.

While doing some late-night trawling of the Internet Archive, I discovered the Namco Museum of Gunpla: Gundam Shop Volume 1 from 1996.

This multimedia CD (Macintosh) is a wonderful virtual Gunpla store and museum with photos of model kits, boxes, and info.

Will drop a vid of it in action below.
The main menu for Gundam Shop features a render of a glassy and blocky polygonal entrance. Inside the shop! It's presented Myst-like with a rendered viewport of a model kit showroom with a Haro, a green round robot mascot, at the cashier's desk. Arrows and floor buttons control your navigation and you can click on any of the boxes on the shelves to see model kits One of the model kit showcases, in this case, an RX-78 Gundam photo with descriptive textto the right and various buttons for Manual, Package, and Drawing A pencil sketch schematic of a 'Zangibal' (which I think might be a *Zanzibar* carrier)
