Hello and the power of Dai-X t-shirts!

"Battle Beyond The Stars"...Oh, deary me, that was on the Sci-Fi Channel the other day! Its awfully good, with the emphasis on the "awfully"... It was quite interesting to watch, actually, as I've very recently seen "The Seven Samurai" for the first time, plus a bit of ...

Hello and the power of Dai-X t-shirts!

Oh dear, I'm getting deja vu. At ther moment, it is simply enough to love mecha to be a member of the Church of Mecha. Mike, owning 3 Valkyries proves that you already worship at the altar of our Most Holy Saint Kawamori, so you automatically qualify for acyolyte priest-hood. Unfortunately, there ar...

Straw poll - Dai X or Dai-X, X Bomber or X-Bomber?

Hello and the power of Dai-X t-shirts!

Anyone who likes his (or indeed, her) Valkyries is more than welcome in the CoM! (after all, we need the members, we're running out of cannon fod - I mean, pilots...!)As for "robots vs tanks", or variations thereon, they can be quite interesting, but after a while they all seem to end up g...

Hello and the power of Dai-X t-shirts!

CoM = The Church of Mecha (note spelling!); a running joke on uk.media.animation.anime; followers, acolytes and the priesthood of the CoM are dedicated to the worship of the Giant Robot in all its forms, and the surpression of our mortal enemy, the Unholy Sacred Cult of the Magical Girl... The one t...

Thunderbirds 2086

I have e-mailed this to you before, Andy, which is probably why it strikes a bell.As to the Gerry Anderson connection, I'm going off the top of my head here, but I think he had an agreement to produce a show with Japanese backing.

Hello and the power of Dai-X t-shirts!

Well, the acid test - er, I hope metaphorically! - will be in a couple of months when I attend an anime convention. If by the second day I've flung the thing from a high window with the cry "NO! ITS NOT A TRANSFORMER!" then we'll know a disclaimer is a good idea...!

Thunderbirds 2086

Ah, anime, my almost specialist subject... ^_^Thunderbirds 2086 was a Japanese animated show originally known as Techno-Voyagers (by a curious linguistic quirk, the "V" sound in Japanese is similar to the "B" sound, which is why the various vehicles had TB on the side instead of ...

Hello, everyone!I've been dropping by the site for a while now, without introducing myself, but something happened to me the other day just after I received the wonderful Dai-X t-shirt and I could no longer resist mentioning it......first, my real name is Justin and, in a small way, I'm a little bit...
