Continuing in the stride of awesome that are the Astray Frames, today we'll take a look at one of the original Frames' upgrades; welcome the MBF-P01-Re<AMATU> Astray Gold Frame Amatsu.
The Amatsu is the result of a severely damaged Gold Frame during a battle with the Red Frame and the resultant atmospheric re-entry. It was taken to a Morgenroete facility where it was overhauled and given new weaponry, and as a result of this overhaul and the weaponry that accompanied it, the upgraded was designated "Gold Frame Amatsu", the name itself having something to do with full-body therapy/treatment. The largest visual distinction between the original Gold Frame and the Amatsu, during it's incomplete phase, was it no longer having the white armor associated with the Astray designs. Instead it would adopt a black-on-gold scheme and not to mention a new head unit with a secondary ZAFT-inspired mono-eye sensor. The Gold Frame's severed right arm would also see a repair in the form of the salvaged right arm from the destroyed Blitz Gundam.
This would prove to be quite the find as this would grant the Amatsu the Blitz's Mirage Colloid stealth technology, as well as it's "Trikeros" offense/defense system. A system which included a beam saber, beam rifle, and 3 lancer darts. In addition to this two entirely unique weapons were added to the Amatsu's armament options: the first being its "Maga-no-Ikutachi" (Sword of Living Evil), a weapon capable of draining the energy of nearby suits, however, in it's current state the weapon could only be used in close-range as the grappling claws themselves required physical contact. The second being a pair of back-mounted "Magashira-no-Hoko" spears. These spears can be fired and retrieved on a tether line, and they are constructed with Phase Shift armor to pierce any target.
The pilot of both the original Gold Frame and the Amatsu counterpart, Rondo Sahaku was a bit of a tyrannical and aggressive one. In his grand scheme of having the Orb Union, of which he and his twin sister were nobility figures, rule the Earth Sphere, he wanted to pit the Earth Alliance and ZAFT against each other in order to, essentially, eliminate both...all for Orb's gain. Of course his plan would ultimately fail as he was killed in the summer of Cosmic Era 71 by Gai Mikamura and his Blue Frame Second L. Of course this wouldn't be taken lightly by his twin sister, Mina. She would take the Amatsu and upgrade it even further. All in the name of carrying out both of their wishes.

Well you have to deal with it, it's most likely a marketing tactic. They want more people to buy the DVD's/BD's instead of watching it only on TV (The majority of fans watch it only on TV, so they watch it like once since re-airings are extremely rare.).
Either FUNimation if you're seeing legal stream rips (I don't know how long after the Japanese airing FUNimation is streaming the series, I do know with Guilty Crown and Shana it's like within 48 hours, or a few hours, or an hour. Can't exactly remember.), or the fansubbers. Fansubbers aren't all that fast anyway.
Jet made a certain explanation about that, I would recommend going back to where he explains
how those missiles went through the Bebop, even though they looked very real.

Last night, I finally discovered where the on-demand stuff for the FUNimation channel is (It's under "Cutting edge entertainment" and then "Funimation Anime".). They have Evangelion 1.11 and 2.22 on there, but that's the stuff you gotta pay for since it's on platinum, not free.
Though it would be best if I watch the actual show first probably.

I'll probably buy it on Blu-ray when it comes out(if it doesn't flop) anyway. Their marketing tactic can go die.
Mirai Nikki 8:
Four diary owners! Whooooaaaaa. I enjoyed this episode quite a bit, too much pathetic from Yukki though.... but a nice amount of insane from Yuno ^_^ Seriously Yukki, be loving to Yuno, my gawd man... She's adorable and she loves you, why the hell are you so distant?! I will break you.
But what if that marketing tactic is the only thing that will lead to them breaking even on the show? I don't have any sales numbers-or TV rating numbers-(Single 1 doesn't come out for a while.) though, so how well it'll sell is still up in the air.

So that's how they do it, the usual one week later, not all that big of a deal to be honest.
Also, you have to remember, FUNimation won't release Mirrai Nikki (The Future Diary) if the legal streaming numbers aren't good enough (So far, episode 1 on NicoNico has 1,416 total views, that's the most it's gotten.), so you can't really say "when it comes out". It should be more like "if it comes out".
November 8, 2008, the night I checked out Bleach episode 87 on [adult swim], and started to really get into anime (Episode 88, I got hooked.). This was the opening that played during that, even though it was the Bount arc which many hate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6mI8hwwsPQ&hd=1
Too bad I can't watch anything (Aside from what I have on DVD, but I don't want to watch more DBZ right now.), my sister is still using the laptop!!!!!!When is she buying her own like she said she would?!!!!
Akise looks a lot like Kaworu. Also nice little fanservice scene when Yuki trips lol (BTW Hinata sure does have some large breasts for a middle schooler). Mao looks like she's in the wrong anime. I lol'd hard when Yuno was writing "die" in the dirt with her foot. WTF @ dogs sitting at a dinner table.
Also, Mirai Nikki, why do you keep ending like that?!
Manga is usually better, so it's probably the case here. But obviously I can't say anything for sure since I haven't tried the manga or anime, just making a statement.
Is that so WRONG?!!!D:
When is she buying her own like she said she would?!!!!
