The Gundam franchise has become one of the most important mecha series in all anime history thanks to its combination of hard-hitting series that deliver tales of war, love, and utter loss. That is because, at its very core, Gundam is not just about giant robots; it is about the people piloting them.

One of the franchise’s most notable traits is its willingness to not just show but actually embrace tragedy and shine a spotlight on the grim realities of war. From untimely sacrifices to gut-wrenching misunderstandings, Gundam is filled with tragic deaths that have left a lasting mark on its characters–and its fans.

The esteemed creator of the Gundam anime franchise, Yoshiyuki Tomino, has addressed why Amuro Ray became such an integral character. The veteran director revealed that the main protagonist of Mobile Suit Gundam was inspired by the depressing historical reality of Japanese child soldier recruitment during the Pacific War.

Via Mantan Web, Tomino discussed the inspiration for Amuro's creation on Nippon Broadcasting System's radio program 'Proposal for Next Stage II.' "At the end of the Pacific War, I was well aware of the existence of child soldiers," he stated. "I also knew that when you turned 16, you could go to a training school to train tankers, and in the case of the Navy, at the end of the war, there were child soldiers on board the battleship Yamato." This inspired the creator to bring attention to the subject in his anime work. "There is a question about why I...

When it comes to franchises in the West, science fiction is mostly defined in popular culture by Star Wars and Star Trek. At the same time, other properties are also big names, namely Battlestar Galactica. From the original incarnation to the modern remake in the 2000s, the franchise has continued to be an influential hit, which is why anime fans might seek out something similar.

There isn't much in the way of a 1:1 anime parallel to Battlestar Galactica, but there are some very similar shows. These science fiction anime usually involve space and humanity's encounters with other species. They can also touch upon some of the more psychological and even religious themes seen in the beloved series that introduced millions to the Cylons.

The X-Men '97 revival introduces a new era with Cyclops leading and Magneto as an ally, but it isn't the only prominent X-Men show. X-Men: Evolution stands out by modernizing the X-Men through a high school drama. Evolution includes multiple characters that X-Men '97 and X-Men: The Animated Series completely ignored, which offers more content for lovable characters.

Decades after X-Men: The Animated Series ended in 1997, Marvel Studios elected to revive the show in the form of X-Men '97. Charles Xavier is dead, Cyclops is trying to lead the team through a new era, and Magneto is trying to prove himself as a leader and an ally to his mutant brethren. It's a fascinating time for the X-Men and appears to be an early sign of what the team might look like when they enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

“That lady is wearing a wig!” is the first thought that comes to me at the start of Parallel… Shortly thereafter, the film throws up an interesting conceit and, aside from the wig, this film is extremely professionally made. It is a sci-fi mind bender with similar ambition to Looper.

A group of friends have created a parking app, and they are trying to seal the big deal, but it all goes wrong, and they lose out. The banter among the gang is believable and funny.

"Justice before redemption." Cranked Up Films has released an official US trailer for an indie action movie titled American Badger, made by a Canadian stuntman named Kirk Caouette - who stars, writes & directs this film. This recently premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival a few months ago. A seemingly cold-blooded hitman is assigned to befriend a call girl, but all hell breaks loose when he is forced to kill her. Kirk says, "I was very inspired by the early works of legendary Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai; the way he blended slow burning film noir with explosive action pieces. With this in mind, I set out to create a film that would delve into that space but would also satisfy the appetite of a modern audience that has been gobbling up comic book movies & John Wick films." With Kirk Caouette, Andrea Stefancikova, Michael Kopsa, Milan Stefancik, and Zak Santiago.

The organisers of Arrow Video FrightFest Glasgow have announced that, despite continuing Covid-19 restrictions, the festival will return Digitally this year to present a virtual six-pack of tasty titles; an extravaganza of the dark arts that will leave you stirred, shaken and shocked.

Tonight, January 18 at 8 p.m. Est on Fox, "Fringe" will reach its epic, sure-to-be heartbreaking finale. It's a two-hour, 100th episode culmination of an adventure that has spanned decades, shattered timelines and crossed universes in the space of five years, while still maintaining the unbreakable familial bond at its core.

While it may be painful to bid farewell to Peter (Joshua Jackson), Olivia (Anna Torv), Walter (John Noble), Astrid (Jasika Nicole), Broyles (Lance Reddick) and anyone else who might happen to reappear for the show's denouement, the finale stands as a testament to the passion of fans who have kept this smart, courageous series on the air for five seasons, and to Fox, for allowing the perennial bubble show to bow out gracefully instead of being snuffed out without a goodbye.

To reflect on the show's many accomplishments and preview the final two hours, HuffPost TV spoke to executive producer and showrunner Joel Wyman,...

One doomsday averted, another one still to come… if you’re a Fringe fan. The series finale of the Fox sci-fi saga is less than a month away, and this time we’re pretty sure the calendar can be trusted. Tonight’s new episode of Fringe is the show’s last outing until Jan. 11, when the two-part, three-hour series swan song begins. If you’re in the market for a tease, we direct you to this image from our recent “Fringe Finale” gallery of photos and intel provided by showrunner J.H. Wyman. (Don’t worry: It’s not a spoiler.

The gloominess that has so often pervaded the series, right back to the pilot, is back in a big way and it’s no longer centered on the characters. The dystopic future first glimpsed in last season’s “Letters of Transit” is now the permanent setting, one of gray skies (pumped full of carbon monoxide, to better suit the Observers) and paved parks.

Repeaters Poster ArtWhat would you do if you woke up on the same day everyday? What would you do if everyday repeated? These are the types of questions asked of characters Kyle (Dustin Milligan, Sonia (Amanda Crew) and Weeks (Richard de Klerk) in the film Repeaters. These three are recovering drug addicts and they must make amends with family members who they have hurt through their drug use. This film is similar to Harold Ramis' Groundhog Day where life repeats until characters learn a lesson and readers can see Repeaters at the Toronto International Film Festival beginning September 13th. Have a read of the interesting premise below and take a peek at the film's trailer.

The synopsis for Repeaters here:

"On a random Wednesday, the residents of a rehab centre in Mission, B.C. are granted a rare one-day-pass to venture back into the world and make amends with those they have wronged.

The Marvel universe has been an important universe to the film world, as shown by the box office receipts to Marvel Studios' live-action summer blockbusters like Iron Man and many others. The studio is also making a dent in the animation field as well, with its successful brand of straight-to-dvd Marvel Animated Features and the latest to hit (or smash) onto the shelves is Planet Hulk, which will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on February 2.

To celebrate this latest release, a red-carpet premiere event was held at the Paley Center for Media, simultaneously at both Paley venues in Los Angeles and New York. I was able to hit the red carpet for this event to talk to some of the key players behind this release, and the first one down the line was supervising producer Joshua Fine, who started out by telling us how this project got off the ground.
