Remember the SD Gundam anime that aired on Toonami during the early 200s and then just dropped off without a real conclusion, only for the second half of the series to be released on a special DVD set about a decade later (I assume)? Well, while reception to SDG was...divided here in the west, Japan had a different view of it, and that soon led to a full-fledged manga-version of the series.
A series of about 20 chapters were made. This wasn’t a shot-for-shot remake of the anime, however. Instead, it was condensed revision of the series, generally the same concept- The Dark Axis is on the loose, 3 Gundams and an eager boy jump up to defend- but done in a drastically different way. Taking advantage of the art style, chapters were filled to the brim with sight gags, and battles were completed in a far more drastic style than you could accomplish on television. For example;
(Fun, huh?)
The downside was that this abbreviated storytelling meant that certain characters were given a far less amount of screen time and focus than they had in the anime, and story arcs were possibly rushed. For example, in the anime, Lacroa wasn’t restored until the end of the series, but in the manga, the kingdom was fixed right at the end of the Deathscythe arc. And Genkimaru, a prominent fixture of the second season, didn’t appear until the Gundamusai arrived at Ark.
Overall, it is not a bad retelling of SD Gundam Force. I managed to buy all three volumes off of the Japanese Amazon.com for a huge amount of money, but I’m certain that you can get better deals if you shop around. I can’t read a word of Japanese, but my in-depth knowledge of the series allowed me to get the gist of things.
Turn A Gundam just rocketed into my top five favorite, most soul-igniting series of all time. I don't even know what it's supplanting in the ranks, but it's there now. I'm ready to call it the most beautiful anime I've ever seen and the competition is fierce. Fully weeping, touching my screen reverently, clutching my heart, having a spiritual moment. Maybe it's hormones. Maybe it's the Yoko Kanno soundtrack. Maybe it's the Tomino future hopepunk where everyone keeps living at the end. Maybe it's seeing another lonely, ambitious queer man sail into the sunset without an anchor. I can fix him. Guin come back. Guin. Guin you need to shack up with the sweet, thick autistic moon engineer he can fix you.

That movie with Brendan Fraser where this family could read out people and things from books? I know its also a book series but thats not what I'm focusing on. What I AM focusing on is the Silvertongue ability; reading aloud causing the physical manfestation of fictonal characters and items from books. That concept I find intersting.
I personally want to build a story where Slivertogues are at war and also I LOVE the crap out of crossovers. Seriously my daydreams are wild when thinking about it.
Heck, I even made a set of rules for how the ability works:
Pronunciation and fluency are important; having a bad stutter or not knowing a word will have janky results.
Only works with fiction; therefore, no instant nuclear arsenal for the teenage anarchist.
Only written literature can be used; so, no, that Dragon Ball z tankobon is not your ace in the hole.
Only works on physical media; your amazon kindle subscription is totally useless.
The characters will act the way they are writtien and have free will; just because you read out Hermione Granger does mean she will date you.
Items read out will work they do in their story and can effect the real world as much as they would as described in their story; thus, destroying the Zaku's fusion reactior is a bad idea because IT WILL ACT HOW A FUSION REACTOR DOES WHEN YOU BLOW IT UP.
Reading something or someone back into fiction will require the exact book they came from; so trying to un-summon Captain Underpants from the fourth book of the series using the seventh book isn't gonna work.
And if you're also a writer your biggest weaknesses are grammar, punctuation, spelling, and a writer with faster hands.
