I came across this image and it looks to me like fan art. My question is if it is just something someone did because they liked the concept, or if it is based on an anime or manga, because if it is I'd really like to check that out.

The girl in the image I at first thought might be a Uhlan, but the helmet, jacket and cartridge belt are for an Imperial German infantryman, although the lance, saber and horse are correct. As I looked at the image more closely I noticed the belt buckle was not standard: it has the badge of the Prince of Wales on it. Interestingly enough that badge bears a motto which is in German: "Ich Dien" or "I Serve", which is a motto any samurai would agree with.

So you see why I am interested to find out, even by the slimmest chance, if this is related to any anime or manga.

I thought it might be a Girls Frontline character, but alas, I couldn't find anyone who matches the design. I suspect it's wholly fanart.

From an image search, it looks to be Battlefield inspired fanart.

Chihayafuru Season 3, two-cour, has been confirmed to be aired beginning April 2019, almost six years after Season 2 finished airing. Madhouse, like the previous two seasons.

I've been sitting on the Manga for She and Her Cat for while now. For anyone who's seen the anime shorts or read the book, is it a sad ending?  Cause if the cat's gonna die, I think I'm going to drop the book off at half price books.

We're shown the whole story was nothing but a TV show based on real events?  Or do they win a planet and not its people?

The first episode has Pidge watching the original cartoon, which is an in-universe show about their adventures (and complaining about how that Pidge sounds).

Don't know about the second option, but it's possible.

Not Jackie Chan's City Hunter, but still probably better than anything Netflix would do!  ;D

I didn't hear him say "mokkori"
You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Question: what's the availability of SEED and SEED Destiny either sub or dub? My Google fu turns up a 2017 announcement of a new HD dub and that's all I know. I'm inclined towards Blu-ray to just have the silly thing, but no objection to subscriptions.

It's available on Crunchyroll.

Sadly, I don't believe SEED has been re-released on disk in English since Bandai shut down their Western branch. The bad reputation of Destiny & the wide availability of DVD singles at various retailers are likely behind the decision to delay it in favor of releasing other Gundam properties, but I'm sure Nozomi Entertainment will put it out eventually.

As of this post, the Remaster Sub of SEED (Playlist Link) and SEED Destiny (Playlist Link) are up for view on Gundam.Info's YouTube Channel. Granted there are some baked in Gunpla ads in the vids, but that's a small price.

I imagine once the new dub (Boo, Hiss...) for SEED/SEED Destiny is done, we'll get word of a physical release.

Really? I'm going to have to do some digging. I wanted to watch SEED again.  I have SEED/Destiny on DvD.  Oddly enough, I actually liked the opening and closing songs for that show.

I had started to watch the SEED remaster a couple of times. The 1st OP isn't altered too much. I can't say about the others though.

I will admit that the ending for the full SEED Destiny felt rushed and incoherent.  I watched the OVA treatment for the third act and was much more satisfied with that result. So, my recommendation for SEED Destiny is to skip the last two episodes for the last movie. It works a lot better.

SEED Destiny, to me at least, is a bit of a train wreak after the Junius Seven drop. What starts out as a inverse of SEED's opening arc, is just more of a replay the last 15 eps of SEED spread over at least double that length.

Now don't get me wrong, SEED Destiny has some cool stuff and poses some interesting questions. The problem is we also get Athrun going through another crisis of self-doubt and the pilot who the overall plot starts around just gets shuffled to Kira's main opponent. There's a few other things I'd like to mention, but that starts getting into Rule 4 territory...

There scifi based Anime coming next year, but not immediately though. Ex-ARM.  Its like a crime /cyborg/cyberpunk premise.  ANN posted the story. Its based on a Manga.

In way, it reminds me of Appleseed in vague way.

Getting kinda depressed. Doesn't look like I'll be able to complete my collection of Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans on Bluray. Season two came out in Australia two months ago... usually stuff hits NZ the next month from Madman... nothing at all about it on NZ site...
