With the Audio:English series, PenguinTruth takes a critical look at the English
dubs which grace some of anime's most defining series in North America.
There isn't a group of animated programs that dominate the world of entertainment for me quite as much as the
Gundam franchise. What started as a passing interest in
Gundam Wing's hamfisted philosophical debates and cool mecha evolved into an obsession, much as man is meant to evolve into the Newtype. (Or maybe not. Don't even ask Yoshiyuki Tomino about that one. He doesn't know.) What are essentially elaborate (some more than others) robot toy commercials have so my anime fandom that I've forgotten what life was like before
Gundam. Did I dream? Did I breathe? Now I have several DVDs of
Gundam material and a mind filled with useless trivia. And I'm not even the biggest
Gundam geek. I'll save that honor for the guys who can give you the exact specs of the engines of a Zaku II.
