April

Well, today is our first
full week on the net. What will we do to celebrate? Post more reviews,
of course. Today we have the review for Robert Jordan's The Eye
of the World in the Wheel of Time section. Throughout
the next few weeks we will post reviews of the remaining seven books
in the series. The next fantasy series on the list to review is
L.E. Modesitt's Saga of Recluce.
If this page seems smaller
to you, it's because we've moved all of last week's news to the
new archive area. Every week all old news will be moved there.
April

Today we have two new
updates. First, we have a rant that is a reply to the one posted
yesterday. The second is a "Wheel of Time Walkthrough"
that is meant to give new fans of the series a basic explanation
of the massive historical background in the series.

We were unable to post
any updates yesterday because our server was down. However, today
we have a new rant posted today and some reviews coming up. By April
8th, we will have a review up for Robert Jordan's The Eye of
the World. On April 9th, we will post a special feature about
Cartoon Network's Toonami Full Cycle, a 24-hour block of anime and
anime related shows that will air on Saturday, April 8.
For the next week or
so, we will be posting Wheel of Time reviews up to the last
book. Soon after we will premiere the Macross section we've
been working on behind the scenes. By Macross, we mean the
complete TV series, the Plus OVA series and the Macross
II OVA. Be on the lookout for it.

Well, today
is our first day on the Net. We're starting with quite a few reviews
in each section. In the fantasy section we have complete reviews
for Sword of Truth and the main page for Wheel of Time.
In the Animation section, we have reviews for the Mobile Suit
Gundam movies and the main page for Slayers (reviews
forthcoming). In our Rants section, we have three articles (two
of which are from the old website). Last, our Links section is up
with several links available. From now on updates will (hopefully)
be on a daily basis.
Check back
April 2nd for reviews of New Spring and The World of Robert
Jordan's The Wheel of Time, both in the Wheel of Time
section.
Our plans for
the near future include posting reviews for the entire Macross
series (already 80% complete), Gundam Wing, and the addition
of a games section where titles from the Lunar and Final
Fantasy universe will be reviewed.
In other news,

is the tenth novel in his Recluce series. The time frame
of this story makes it the oldest tale in the series, set even before
Fall of Angels. Tor will publish the follow-up book Scion
of Cyador in October or November.
