The Red Comet Returns
by Chris 1:02 P.M. EST
Now that I'm free from other duties, I can regularly update again.
Today I take a look back at Char's Counterattack, which I
reviewed a very long time ago. After a recent re-viewing, I have
mostly rewritten the review to make it more detailed and accurate.
Also, I made new screenshots as well. In just a few days Lore should
be starting work on the next gallery, so keep watching for that.

Girls
Girls Girls by Lore 11:21
P.M. EST
Chris and I have recently come into the possession of quite a few
more pics for the various gallery sections. As a result, some of
the galleries will need reworking and expanding. To tide you over,
and because summer is so near, I present to you the Mobile Suit
Girls gallery.

Goku,
Vegeta, and monkeys by Chris
9:10 A.M. EST
Taking a bit of a break from all the Gundam work, today I
present a review for Dragon Ball manga volume 20. After taking
care of some other business, it's back to Gundam reviews
again. I'd also like to take this time to make an announcement.
Recently, it seems that many anime sites have been either cutting
back their content or shutting down entirely. I just want it to
be clear to everyone that we're not going anywhere. As you can see,
we're expanding, not contracting. Whatever happens, we'll still
be here.

A Gift From the
Easter Bunny by Chris 12:57
A.M. EST
Happy Easter to all our visitors. No, there's no chocolates here,
but rather Gundam pictures. We open the second gallery today,
which boasts 69 pictures from The 08th MS Team, 0080,
and 0083. The next gallery under construction is for Z
Gundam and Gundam ZZ. Enjoy!

Gundam Review Spree
by Chris 11:23 A.M. EST
Yeah, there's even more Gundam reviews. This time they're
scattered reviews (with screenshots) for episode 21 of Zeta Gundam
and episode 5 of G Gundam. This means there are gaps in both
series with regards to screenshots, but those gaps will be filled
soon. I've just gotten my hands on a lot more Gundam episodes,
so expect more reviews for G and even V soon.

The Idiot's Moron
Guide by Chris 9:10 A.M.
EST
Just what the hell is that about? Well, about a year ago I wrote
a feature called "Gundam For Dummies" to help newbies
who want to know more. Well, it's a year later, and the article
has received a complete rewrite. Check it out.

Stand Up to the
Victory by Chris 2:37 P.M.
EST
Well, this review came a lot sooner than I thought it would. Thanks
to Lore's ability to find anything, I can finally review the series
that I never thought I would: Victory Gundam. This series is so
hard to find that it has evaded me in all the time I've been a Gundam
fan. It still is very hard to find, but at least I've finally seen
some of it. You can read more about this series in my review (with
screenshots). What's next with the reviews? Well, in the next month,
expect approximately 14 new reviews for Zeta Gundam. I can hardly
wait myself.

What Are Reviews?
by Chris 10:02 A.M. EST
One would think with all the craze about the image gallery that
we'd forgotten about reviews. Well, fear not. Today I open the Gundam
grab bag with a lot of rare reviews and some news. A few weeks ago,
I had mentioned getting new Gundam tapes at a convention.
Well, from those tapes I've reviewed episodes 5-8 of Gundam ZZ.
The big news is that Lore has located a very rare copy of Victory Gundam
episode 1, and I will be reviewing it later this week. This series
is so rare that this will be an exclusive review. Also, some updates
have been made to the Links page.

Wingzero Returns
by Chris 3:42 P.M. EST
Yes, for the first time in months the Wingzero gallery is back online.
Lore and I have been working round the clock organizing nearly 500
pics into 8 galleries. Today, we present to you the first and biggest
of the galleries. It's devoted entirely to the original Gundam
series and weighs it at a whopping 97 pictures! Expect Gallery 2
to open early to mid next week.

New Pics Galore
by Chris 2:07 P.M. EST
I've got two announcements today. First, the Gundam gallery
will be officially opened tomorrow night. Second, I'm going to tease
you today. How? Well, I've utilized some of our new pictures to
replace main pictures in the Gundam anime section and add
some as well. New main pics have been added to the Gundam
manga section, as well as new main pics for the gallery section.
Finally, screenshots are available for Macross: Do You Remember
Love? and Macross: Flashback 2012. Stay tuned for a Macross
announcement coming soon.

March of the Pretty
Boys by Chris 9:50 A.M.
EST
Well, I'm back from my trip to Washington, so it's back to work.
I don't think I could have said it any better than Lore did about
what it's been like working on this site for the last year. For
the first review of our second year, I present volume 2 of the Gundam
W manga adaptation. Expect some more manga reveiews later this
week, as new volumes are out in the series that I'm reviewing.

1 Year Online by
Lore 12:17 A.M. EST
At this time last year, I could have never envisioned how large
this site would be at present. But, thanks to Chris (the one man
review machine), we now have 100's of reviews covering much more
than just anime. I'm sure you're all eager to learn what the big
surprise is. Well, the upper left corner should give you a hint.
It's a Babylon 5 section, the first live action section ever
on the site. Chris has reviewed all 13 Crusade episodes and
the movie A Call to Arms. This is quite a feat considering
the length is equivalent to about 30 anime episodes! That's not
all we have in store. We would also like to welcome two new staff
members. MissBunny will be reviewing DNA^2, and Bink will
be reviewing Weiss Kreuz.
The next year looks to
be even better than the last. We will soon become home to the Wingzero.net
image archive; you will also soon find us on the links of Gundam
Project. With all that's gone on in the past 6 months, expect
an update to the site history in the About section. As for what
lies beyond that? Chris and I have discussed adding interview and
fanfic sections, the latter being the most feasible since MissBunny
has already written a large number of fanfics. This summer, I will
begin to encode episodes that are not available online for Z
Gundam and other series. Later this year, The Legend of the
Rangers will premiere on the SciFi channel, and you can be sure
it will be covered in our Babylon 5 section. We want to thank
all of our regular visitors, all the sites who linked to us when
we were just getting started, those who have become staff members,
and anyone who has contributed in any way. Our success would not
be possible without you.
