    Never played Civ before, but I did buy Civ 5 for such an occasion, so count me in.

    The only thing you need to know is to watch out for Gandhi!

    I’m totally down for this. Any ideas for what maps, civs, modes, mods, etc. we want to use? Or are we gonna do it totally random? Anyway, it’ll be fun regardless :D

    This fine highland single-malt held a referendum today, declared its independence from the imperial overlordship of the Virginia state liquor store, and is now enjoying a smooth, sweet, yet smokey existence in my stomach!

    Plus the live action Japanese version of 2199 already exists so there be the inevitable comparisons.

    The 2010 live action movie has nothing to do with 2199, seeing as it came out two years before 2199 ever aired, but your point stands, such as it is. It would definitely be an interesting study in the comparison of big budget sci-fi films on both sides of the Pacific. The recent Godzilla movie is probably the best analogy to such a comparison.

    While this rumor is certainly very exciting, and I personally love and support the idea of a big budget Skydance Star Blazers film, I’m taking this with a mountain of salt. Plans (and rights) for an American Star Blazers film have been flitting about Hollywood almost three decades now, and the same basic facts and obstacles have remained the same. Voyager still owns the Star Blazers name, studios are still extremely gun-shy about pulling the trigger on a big budget anime adaptation (they remember Dragon Ball, Astroboy, and Speed Racer), and the all important built-in audience is still extremely small. it’s all going to come down to how much the people at Skydance are willing to gamble on it, and how convincing a pitch they can make. The recent success of adaptations of Japanese titles like Godzilla and Edge of Tomorrow give me more hope than I’ve had in the past for such a project moving forward, but it’s still going to be a very hard sell. In the end I will remain positive and hopeful, but I’m not holding my breath.

    Considering how critics seemed to have panned 3.0 perhaps he decided to play it safe.

    Not bloody likely if you ask me. The day Anno plays anything safe is the day hell freezes over.

    Anyway, as for the whole 3.0 + 1.0 thing, my bet is that it’s the first tease we’re getting in the run-up to Final. Rather than being Final itself, I think it’s gonna be some sort of special or teaser/preview for Final, very much like the 7ish minute preview that appeared before 3.0 was released. As for the message on the lantern, it’s probably just a clever, purposely ambiguous ploy to get the fans ginned up and theorizing. It worked :D All this being said, I’m sure that I’m entirely wrong, because with Anno and Eva you can (not) predict.

    My thinking is that except for episodes 1,6 and 7 most of the action must take place in part 2 as most of part 1 seemed to center around the usual school shenanigans.

    Yeah, pretty much this.

    Anyway, I’m glad you mostly enjoyed WoG so far! Even with its pacing and focus issues I’ve always found it to be a relatively fun and interesting show. Thanks for keeping us updated, ML!
