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.
