My mom just called and told me that they’ll be coming over for the weekend. I haven’t had my folks coming over for almost half a year now so I’m pretty uncomfortable at the thought, even if I miss them a lot. I just hope she won’t nag me over these anime figures and DVDs.

How did your parents watch movie at home back then? No downloaded movie in hard discs, no CD’s, heck! It was even expensive to own a home video movie viewing system! Thank God for digital video discs! We don’t need to head to our nearest video rental store to rent out those gigantic shiny Frisbee looking round things called laser disc. When VHS tapes were released back then, we thought that it was the coolest thing to happen to movie videos, superseding the now-defunct betamax tapes.

Laser disc players sold like hotcakes even if one unit would cost a high price tag of 600 US dollars. It dawned the era of streak-free and nose-free home video viewing and at the same time, one-click shuffling from one stage to another was called chapters.

It was not convenient as it seemed because unlike your current DVD player, you have to flip the disc from side A to side B to finish watching the movie. Although there were some models with auto-flippers, it would cost you another arm and leg.

Video rental shops sprouted like mushrooms all over the metro! You can easily locate one if you were finding one back then. Each overnight rent would cost around $2.50 depending whether what you have is a single or double disc. Overnight means, you have to return it the next day or face the stiff penalties imposed which could be as costly as your rented video.

That is not it. Another caveat is that you have to handle these delicate laser discs with utmost care. Having them just lying around the house with kids, animals or sunlight in its path would increase the chances of your laser disc being damaged and I am sure that you would not want to do that!

A single crack on the disc would cost you to buy the whole disc regardless how small the crack is. They will forcibly let you purchase it since other customers won’t be renting that damaged disc anymore. It would cost around $60 bucks per disc.

Before, higher class people managed to save up and purchase this ridiculously priced laser discs for their home video collection. Now, they are just collecting dusts in their shelves. Sadly, those people spent a fortune on them.

A lot of movie buffs feasted on renting laser discs and copying the movies on VHS tapes for home viewing and video rental purposes. This is also another kind of piracy back then, which evolved now to DVD’s. It was called laser copy and now, the term burning is used when copying discs.

Although Laser discs are not relics per se, there are still some who watches laser discs to revive the old feeling they had when DVD discs were no where seen in the future. Don’t worry, the now famous DVD discs would be a relic in the near future. Do you remember the first DVD or CD you ever bought? If you now own a huge collection of DVD’s, enjoy it because change is constant.

I was finally able to watch the new Evangelion movie, Rebuild of Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone, which is the first in a series of movies. It was retelling of the first few episodes of the TV series featuring new designs and updated animation. It was great how they were able to compress those episodes in 2 hours and still retain the pacing that the series had, and somehow nostalgic as well.

Trailer (featuring Utada Hikaru’s version of “Fly me to the Moon”):

Since they used the storyboards from the series, even with the updated animation it was hard to notice what was different until you watch the old episodes again. The climax of the movie was certainly the battle with the fifth (he was fourth in the series) angel, Ramiel, dubbed “Operation Yashima”. The updated design of Ramiel along with the spankin’ new animation was totally breathtaking, too bad the chances of us seeing this on the big screen is.. pretty slim.

I’ll make a more coherent review someday, after a few more rewatches. All I can say is, even if Gainax is just obviously milking the Evangelion franchise, it’s totally worth it.

There’s just one game that can satisfy my hunger for super robot action, and that’s the long-running crossover strategy game Super Robot Wars. Just last week Banpresto announced the latest version for the Playstation 2, Super Robot Wars Z, and here’s the list of titles that’ll come up:

Overman King Gainer
The Big O
The Big O 2nd Season
Zambot 3
Daitarn 3
Xabungle
Zeta Gundam
Char’s Counterattack
Gundam X
Turn A Gundam
Gundam SEED Destiny
Mazinger Z
Great Mazinger
Getter Robo G
Grendizer
God Sigma
Aquarion
Eureka Seven
Orguss
Baldios
Gravion
Gravion Zwei

I’m really excited about the shows announced to show up, in particular Aquarion, King Gainer and Eureka 7. The Big O will also be making it’s debut on the PS2. So far everything’s shaping up great… this might even be better than Super Robot Wars Alpha 3!

Zegapain is one of the most underrated mecha series in recent years. Sunrise did an excellent character drama, and the story really makes you feel for the characters. Some got turned off by the neon mechs, but the concept was pretty unique and I enjoyed it. Anyway, here’s the beautiful ending song, Little Goodbye by Rocky Chack.

I’m a pretty big sports fan myself, and I just found out Baron Davis from the Golden State Warriors is challenging everyone to a beard growing contest. Sounds hilarious, but I joined for the heck of it. I joined one back in college and won, though I’m not too confident this time, it’s hard to win against famous people. :V

The second season of Code Geass started 2 weeks ago, replacing Gundam 00 in it’s Sunday timeslot. As expected, it started with a bang, continuing where the previous season left off, and then some. Lelouch seemed to have forgotten what happened, and life went back to normal as it seems, but with a few twists, such as suddenly having a character named Rolo. Apparently the remnants of the Order of the Black Knights either got executed or jailed, but some of them made it into China (including C.C.), and they went back to Japan to hatch a plan to unseal Lelouch’s Geass powers and return him to his real identity, Zero.

I really like the plot progression during the first season, with epic twists every episode that keeps you guessing what’s going to happen next. It’s also great that the violence and themes didn’t get toned down any bit, since it’s move from a Saturday to a Sunday timeslot kept fans wondering if the show will get tuned down. So far I’ve seen 2 episodes and it’s great to see how the characters from the last season have progressed.

Oh and Suzaku’s still a f*ggot. That’s all.

The first episode of the Macross Frontier premiered last week in Japan! Macross Frontier is the third TV series in the Macross saga, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross series. This new show features the U.N Spacy’s newest variable fighter VF-25, as well as the exploratory fleet dubbed the Macross Frontier en-route to the galactic center. The story will revolve around the pilot trainee Alto Saotome, a schoolgirl named Ranka Lee and the galaxy’s premiere pop idol, Sheryl Nome. The first episode was great, with some tributes to the first series such as Alto piloting an abandoned VF-25 in “gerwalk” form, as well as setting up the eventual love triangle between the main characters. Also of note is the opening song “Triangular”, which features Maaya Sakamoto and composer Yoko Kanno’s reunion. Here’s the OP from Youtube:

So far Macross Frontier series seems to be as enjoyable as the past Macross anime. I can’t wait to see the second episode!
