I re-watched this a year ago and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it but that was mostly because I still found the jokes funny (huh?). Yeah. I know.

As usual, you have spelled out the dilemma perfectly. Maybe it’s time to treat our avocations as vocations and pretend we’re punching the clock when the set time for the craft arrives. “Sorry man, but I’ve got to go to work,” will then apply to two activities in our lives.

And I can stop referring to it as an avocation, too.

Yeah, it’s a really difficult line to draw. I find that I draw from life experience and things I read so once a certain amount of “fuel” has been gained from that I use it up in writing so I’m always in and out of those two zones of life. But you definitely have to force yourself to write or be inspired and it’s really, really hard just don’t be satisfied.

Holy crap, I thought I was the only one… My unexplainable obsession with blue hair was the reason I started watching anime.

Thanks for the encouraging words! I’m glad you found Railscasts helpful. Also if you prefer text over video, check out ASCIICasts by Eifion Bedford. He has translated many of the Railscasts episodes into text.

Comment on Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack (Film) by Mr PSb

Char’s Counterattack is a must see for fans of the U.C. but mostly because it brings closure to certain aspects of the U.C. saga. Apart from this, I have to agree that many elements in this film seem as rushed as Gundam F91. I believe that one of the reasons that the film falls short of what it could have been, may be because Tomino has been noted to discourage sequels of his work.

I saw no need for him to eliminate Char from ZZ, but he could of cut out all the comedy in the earlier parts of ZZ and use it as a prelude to CC. Much of the questions in CC could have been answered in ZZ and it would have been nice to see cameo appearances from characters that featured in MSG, Z and ZZ as well. I guess, what’s done is done, we can’t re-write animation history but, future Gundam directors can take note.

Comment on Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (TV) / A New Translation (Film) by Mr PSb

Mr PSb — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 20:35:08 +0000

I believe that Zeta was one of the best series in the Gundam franchise. Apart from that I think Gundam 00 did a great job at being a more modern attempt at the franchise as well. The only problem I had with the Zeta Gundam trilogy, is the fact that it sometimes comes across a bit rushed and certain things aren’t explained. However, Zeta will always be one of my personal favorites.

I really wished that Gundam F91 would be re-released as a series. The film really didn’t to justice to the story, which had the potential of being a real gem in the Gundam universe. Even though the movie left much to be desired, it is till enjoyable nonetheless. I really wish someone pioneering enough would pick up this old series and update it.

PS Just so you know you’re not in this alone, I need to add this to my “Doing” list, too. And add me to Ian’s line at the bookstore.
