I am not a Bot by Dale 1:00 A.M. EST
In a continuing effort to prove I am not a bot, I am here to announce that we have a new home on IRC: irc.zirc.org. The applet has been updated to reflect this change.

Cup of Java by Dale 12:20 A.M. EST
We have recently, and unfortunately, learned that MIRC-X is down forever. The java applet has been changed to point to the irc.evilnet.net until our new home is found. We invite anyone to drop in our chat room to offer suggestions for a new host.

IRC Attack by Chris 1:30 P.M. EST
Some of you may have noticed that the #mahq IRC channel has been inaccessible the last few days. This is due to a DDoS attack. Also, our former home (and backup) Aniverse is down for the same reason. We have temporarily relocated to irc.evilnet.net, and the channel is of course #mahq. If MIRC-X ever comes back, we will presumably return there.

Even More SD Still by Chris 5:15 P.M. EST
For today's update, I've got new reviews for episodes 16-18 of SD Gundam Force. Also, as has been announced on several other sites, the Zeta Gundam DVD collection has been given a street date of September 7, 2004. You can be sure I'll be buying those the day they're out. Also, the SEED DVDs are expected to hit store shelves at around the same time.

Return of the SD by Chris 11:55 P.M. EST
For one reason or another (including forgetting to set the VCR), the reviews for SD Gundam Force have been on hold since September. Well, today I present reviews for episodes 11-13. The rest of season 1 should come on a more timely basis in the near future.

HGUC Attack by Chris 9:40 P.M. EST
Despite the headline, there is an MSiA review included in today's update. Before we get to the list of reviews, I need to note a change in the Model review submission guidelines. As of now, we will be taking alternate angle reviews under one specific condition: please send in an alternate angle only if you feel you can cover something that wasn't covered in the original review, or if you have a drastically different view of a kit you'd like to express. Instead of full reviews, we'd like alternate angles to only cover those parts not already covered in the original review. Now, on to business. Check out these reviews:

by Jameson Leaser:
HGUC MS-06 Zaku II
HGUC MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam
HGUC Operation V Set
HGUC RX-178 Gundam Mk II
HGUC RX-178+FXA-05D Super Gundam

by Ryukami:
MSiA RGM-79N GM Custom

Also, Jameson sent in new pictures for most of his earlier reviews. Additionally, Hiddenpower has provided pictures for Kokopelli's reviews of the Neue Ziel and Gouf Custom.

Update by Chris 11:35 P.M. EST
There's been some developments recently in the wide world of Gundam. By now, word has spread that Cartoon Network will begin airing Gundam SEED starting April 17, 2004. Coincidentally, this date is a short 10 days after the 25th anniversary of when the first episode of the original series aired in Japan. In 1999, the 'Big Bang' celebration in Japan brought us Turn A Gundam, so it's certain that Bandai has something up their sleeve for this next big anniversary.

Now, on to business. KokopelliChindi, an #mahq regular, has sent in 7 model reviews. They are:

1/100 MRC-F20 SUMO
MG MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom
MG RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Zephyranthes" Full Vernian
MG RX-79[G]Ez-8 Gundam Ez8
NMM SYSTEM ∀-99 (WD-M01) ∀ Gundam
SD AMX-002 Neue Ziel
SD RX-78GP03 Gundam "Dendrobium"

We also have a new category for the Perfect Grade line, thanks to the following reviews:

And the tragedy plays through by Joel 11:48 P.M. EST
Well folks, I’m trying to get these reviews up at a slightly faster pace, but I’m not expecting miracles. Episodes 23-26 have been reviewed, which means we are now half way through the series. Let’s keep our pants on folks, as we still have a long road ahead.
