It's Been a Long Time

"It's been a long time.."
"It's been a long time.."
"It's been a long time.."
"It's been a long time.."
".. Rakim, the microphone soloist"

Anyway, wow. Haven't done this in a while. Nothing important to blog about. Obama inaugurated, Guantanamo Bay is being closed down (Now how will Obama sort out the prisoners in there?), Big companies being idiots once again, Clinton'd senate seat bull, yeah. I grew 1.6 inches, that's important!

TURN A GUNDAM

What an amazing Gundam series. It starts out like any old Gundam, young boy finds mobile suit in the middle of a battle; boy gets in and pilots it to stay alive; boy turns out to be a master at it; and it goes on. But where it differs itself from your usual Gundam (say Universal Century, not that SEED bullshit, SEED is horrible and I will not acknowledge its existence any longer) is that instead of focusing on the mechas (which, in Turn A, are pretty "grotesque" in comparison to the human like mobile suits you're used to seeing.) we focus on the political and social aspects. Turn A has racism, corrupt government, split parties, political assassinations, and more. Oh, and Yoko Kanno does the soundtrack. "Turn A Gundam, The Concert," amazing CD, I would buy the DVD version if I could find it on the internet, but alas, I guess it was never meant to be. What appears to be a light hearted Gundam series quickly pits the viewer into mature and thought provoking scenes that one who can not pay attention without explosions or sex every 5 seconds should stay away from. If you're not an idiot, you would love Turn A Gundam.
