Video: If this was on television when I was an eight year-old kid, I'm certain it would be my favourite thing ever. Created by Los Angeles-based animator Jeremie Carreon, this does a terrific job of capturing the sights and sounds of a bygone animation style.

Impressive mecha-building skills! LEGO enthusiast Jason Corlett built an enormous Striker Eureka Jaeger from Pacific Rim.

Now if we can just scale it, we'll be able to kick those Kaiju's asses.

The Evangelion movies always look terrific. They have always been, at the very least, visually interesting. But the CG in this latest Evangelion short is something else.

Guillermo del Toro is getting his kaiju on once again, and we'll see the results in a few years — Pacific Rim 2 is coming in 2017.

I love the Pacific Rim theme. You love the Pacific Rim theme. And from the looks of it, this robot drummer loves the Pacific Rim theme.

If you haven't seen Pacific Rim, there's a Chinese mech called Crimson Typhoon. Well, this is the Brooklyn Typhoon. It may not be as big as its inspiration, but its made of way more interesting stuff.

You know what was cool about Pacific Rim? All those giant mechs. You know what's cool about Hugo Martin, the guy who helped design those mechs? He's now working on Doom 4.

Pacific Rim is doing very well in China, despite some tiny subtitle problems, proving again that the Chinese love giant robots. However, even with all the popularity, the Chinese military isn't very happy, claiming that the movie is nothing more than propaganda to spread "American values and ideas".

Pacific Rim is a smash hit in China. People love it, even if the subtitles are iffy.

Sure, there wasn't anything wrong with Pacific Rim's ending (don't worry, I'm not about to spoil it) — but really, the whole thing could have been much simpler. Heck, why not throw in some absurd cameos while we're at it?

Pacific Rim never got an 8-bit Nintendo game. Why? Because Guillermo Del Toro wasn't making big Hollywood movies during the 1980s, that's why. But what if he were... OK, title screen up there. Ignore the 2013 copyright and pencil in 1987. Do it.

I'd 10 times rather play a Pacific Rim game that looks like this than the forgettable mobile adaptation. Too bad this Photoshopped crossover between Pacific Rim and Minecraft (and Sim City 2000!) is just one man's imagination.

Movie director Guillermo Del Toro is in Japan to promote Pacific Rim. He had a big day out in Tokyo that was filled with ice cream and giant mecha. It looks like the best day ever.

Pacific Rim, Hollywood's lavish love letter to all things Tokusatsu, comes full circle in this tribute trailer that reimagines the Western movie as something a little more Japanese.

Both Pacific Rim games are terrible, by all accounts, which is totally unsurprising yet disappointing nonetheless. You'd think someone would be able to make a decent video game out of giant robots fighting aliens.

One of my favourite scenes in Pacific Rim didn't involve robots or monsters. It involved a brief exchange in Japanese. Spoilers follow for Pacific Rim.

Following on the heels of the not-so-great iPhone game, Pacific Rim: The Video Game is out today on Xbox Live Arcade. I have to be honest with you, I hope the movie is more exciting. Watch the video above to see the Jaegers and the Kaiju go at it. Slowly.

The Pacific Rim mobile game could never be anything other than an Infinity Blade-style swipe-fighter. Oh there were other game formats that would have worked just fine.
