Mad thanks to the Five-Star General of the Hate-agon and he’ll be back again when we cover SEED DESTINY and STARGAZER!

In light of our appearance at this year’s MegaCon, Chris appeared on the nationally syndicated radio show, Sci-Fi Overdrive, hosted by David Durica. The episode aired earlier today (2/14/09), but if you check the website, that episode will soon be posted and you can download the episode for yourself. When it is, we’ll post a thread on this Forum and on Gundamn.net with links for your listening pleasure! Stay Tuned!

More props go to David for having Chris on and for the exposure for MAHQ.net & Gundamn! @ MAHQ! Chris sounded like a pro and I got goosebumps listening!

Although it’s slightly longer than the last ep, this latest edition of Gundamn! @ MAHQ is lighter on segments but jammed-packed with discussion! Kicking off the first segment, we rap about the final television series helmed by Yoshiyuki Tomino – Turn A Gundam. Afterwards, inspired by an article submitted by Flame-X, we explore an interview with Gundam 00 director Seiji Mizushima, detailing how recent, passionate opinions of dislike about the series online have affected the staff. The conversation continues into the effects premature, unproven, and negative comments and have upon the development of currently airing series. Mad props to Flame-X for bringing this to our attention!

Also for those that don’t know:

For your listening pleasure, episode 26 of Gundamn! was released several days ago. Also, I’m happy to announce what will hopefully be the first of several live call-in sessions on the show. It will take place this Sunday, January 18th at 2:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. If you didn’t join us for the first call-in, get a mic/headset, download and install Skype, and add the user “Shinjuku-Station” to your friends list. Like the last time, the call-in will be an open forum, so anything goes as far as topics and questions.

Hope you can join us and enjoy this episode! Thanks for listening,
