Hello there
As with most people, my first anime were Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh! and a faint memory of Digimon. Not having the luxury of cable, I only saw maybe one or two episodes of Dragon Ball and Gundam Wing on Toonami when I was at a friend's house.
By late 2007, the channel AnimeCentral became available in the United Kingdom and I watched first anime I could say I was really into; Full Metal Alchemist (2003), Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Cowboy Bebop and most of all; Planetes. Sadly, Anime Central, a British channel dedicated to anime, is now defunct.
Elsewhere, my entry into the mecha genre was through the Transformers franchise. Although I grew up in the eras of Beast Wars, Car Robots and Unicron Trilogy, I was more interested in G1 via the second-hand G1 toys and VHS tapes from my cousin. So probably, the first mecha anime I watched was Transformers: Micron Legend (aka Transformers Armada). I also had Neon Genesis Evangelion and Bubblegum Crisis on VHS but I don't really remember their plots (until rewatching them) as the tapes only included the first several episodes.
Later, I got hold of the hilariously bad English dubs of Transformers: The Headmasters on VHS, soon I decided to find the original Japanese versions of the Headmasters, and Unicron Trilogy online, from there I researched Takara Brave Series and started watching Brave Police J-Decker, realizing this was animated by a studio famous for mecha, I decided to watch their Magnum Opus; UC Gundam series, although I saw SEED previously on Anime Central, I didn't really care for it since I was much more hooked on Cowboy Bebop and Planetes; my first time watching SEED and comprehending it would be the HD Remaster that was streamed for free on Gundam Info. From Gundam, I got into Macross and the rest of the mecha and space opera genres of anime.
My first Macross series was Plus, I exclaimed in joy the first time I found Macross Plus Ultimate Edition (Manga UK's bundle of the OVA and movie together) at a bargain in CeX.

I've never played VR games, but it looks like it's described as a UC spin-off with a faceless protagonist.
At this point he looks like Shinji with balls, but I was impressed by how seriously he took not only the death of his people (a couple of times even because of the consequences of his actions), but even the death of his enemies. I liked the moment where he is glad that the enemies are sitting in mobile suits, because “it’s much easier than shooting at living people.” I don't know who wrote the dialogues, but the man clearly knows his stuff.
Overall, when I watched it for the first time as a teen, the show seemed just like a cool war show about robots. But now a lot of things seem to have more depth, especially compared to G-Witch or modern mecha in general. For example, the show's bluntness about how Amuro would quickly become a corpse without a gundam, rather than portraying him as a sudden genius at piloting. Although the moments with the reference book looked quite cheesy.
Well, I could say that her accent betrays a person who is not a native speaker of Russian, but you can easily tell that this is just the way the character speaks. She studied the language for a long time, so it sounds alive, and not just memorized phrases in a foreign language. But ironically, the Russian of Kuze's children version sounds much clearer, which made me think they would calling that Russian VA from Akiba Meido Sensou. In general, you could find faults if you wanted, but I think that for such a premise she plays perfectly.
Reading the Shogakukan English Comics version from volume 3 for Japanese practice.
ああ、イギリスで見たのね。ガンプラは、映画のチケットを持ってる人は、購入できる特典があったけど、無料では配布されなかったよ。初日の初回の映画に行けなかったので、ガンプラは、友達が代わりに、買ってくれたわ。
日本では、毎週、特典が変わる。
明日からは、また、コマフィルムの配布されます。今週、貰ったコマフィルムで満足してるので、たぶん、特典のために５回目の映画には行かないだろうと思う。自転車で見に行けるぐらい映画館に近い場所だったら、毎週、見に行ってたかもしれない。
上野は、美術館を見に行ったのが最後かなぁ。
上野の「ダイニングカフェ・イゼルローンフォートレスは、行ったことがない。大阪の方で、個人の銀河英雄伝説のファンの方が営業するバーのほうは、何度か行ったことがある。こっちの方は、移転前も含めて１０年以上営業してて、公式とコラボしてイベントとかしてる。あと、声優さんとか、漫画家とか原作者とか、たまにアニメ関係者も行ってるみたい。リメイク前から営業してたはず。
名前は、＜seeadler－海鷲－＞
食べてきたものとかは、ここのトピックに載せてる。ガンダムカフェで食べたものとかも混じってる。

コラボカフェ、嫌いではないんだけど、住んでる場所からは遠いので、なかなか行くことがない。
私は、今週の土曜日にSEED FREEDOMの映画を友達と見てきました。私は４回目で、友達は１回目でした。結構、３日間ぐらいしか海外では公開されてないよね？あと、映画を見に行って、何かしら特典はもらいましたか？日本は週替わりで特典が配布されているため、それを目当てに何度も、映画を見る人がいます。
こちらから、友達リクエストを承認のリクエストのお礼のコメントを送るつもりだったですが、遅くなってしまいました。
わざわざ、コメントをしてくれてありがとう。
ああ、日本語の試験の準備をしているということなので、漢字交じりのコメントも、あなたはできるんだね！普通に日本語の読みやすいコメントがきて、誰が送ったんだろうか？と驚いてしまいました。
銀河英雄伝説とガンダムが好きなので、他の人にコメントをあなたがしているのを見かけて、話をしてみたくなったので、友達リクエストを送りました。ガンダムSEED freedomは、海外は公開された日数が少ないところが多かった気がするんだけど、まだ、映画、公開されてる？
