Today I have
a new rant entitled "Hollywood Execs Like Slashing Anime",
which recently finished an extended three week run at About.com.
A new rant has been posted, and you can read it by Clicking

A review of the very
funny episode 9 of Trigun
has been posted along with screenshots. Chris is going to slow down
with the reviews and take a little break soon, so I will fill in
with my Trigun reviews.

Just to remind
everyone, aside from reviewing anime series, we do also cover fantasy
novels. With that, today we present a long delayed review for The
Death of Chaos in the Recluce section. The Lore Store
has also been updated. In some fantasy news, the date for Robert
Jordan's new Wheel of Time book Winter's Heart has
been set for November 7, 2000. L.E. Modesitt's Scion of Cyador
is on track for September 2000. George R.R. Martin's A Storm
of Swords, the latest in the series A Song of Ice & Fire,
is set for release on October 31, 2000. I mention this because this
is the next series I will cover after finishing Recluce.

Although the
Macross 7 TV series is over, there's still a few things left
to review. Today I present a review for the short movie Macross
7: The Galaxy Is Calling Me. I also updated the Links page with
a link to a Trigun review and information site.

Trigun
is back with a review and screenshots for episode 8. We are also
closing in on a milestone for Macross, as nearly all animated
media bearing its name has been reviewed. I believe we are the only
site on the net to feature this. Our ultimate goal is to do the
same with Gundam.
-Lore
Well, Lore is
correct about the milestone part. Today is the end of the line for
the Macross 7 TV series with my reviews for episodes 47-49.
Shortly following this will be the scattered sequels to the series.
-Chris

Today I present
another set of good Macross 7 with reviews for episodes 44-46.
Tomorrow marks the end of the TV series and the last set of reviews.
Sad, ain't it?

Today I present
reviews for four solid episodes of Macross 7 with coverage
of episodes 40-43.

What better way to celebrate
July 20th than with screenshots and a review of episode 7 of Trigun!

Well, there's
some good news today. Macross 7 is actually becoming a better
series as it winds down to a conclusion. Take a look for yourself
and read my reviews of episodes 36-39. In another update, we've
recently opened a Yahoo club that will function as a companion to
this website. It will offer more interactive features such as chat
and message boards. You can visit it by Clicking
Here.

Today I have
even more Macross 7 with reviews (no screenshots) for episodes
33-35. No one will be happier than me when this series ends. On
another note, we'd really appreciate it if you could send us e-mails
about what you think of the site. We need to know what visitors
think and what you want from this site. Thanks.

After a short
break, there is more Trigun available. Episode 6 has been
put up along with screenshots.

In case you
hadn't guessed, there's more Macross 7 being served up today
with reviews (no screenshots) for episodes 30-32.

Today I present
reviews for a string of bad Macross 7 episodes, namely episodes
27-29. The pains that I endure for this site.
-Chris

Macross returns
to the website today with my review of episode 26 of Macross
7. One review is less than I normally do, but if Lore can do
it, so can I. By the way, this review was written several months
ago and does not reflect my current opinion of the series.
-Chris

Trigun,
Trigun, and more Trigun. Next up is episode 5 complete
with screenshots and a review.
-Lore
Speaking of
rants, today I've uploaded a new rant entitled "When Fans Go
Too Far." This is the second original rant I wrote for About.com,
and it recently finished it's two week run there. Check their website
for a new rant about editing in anime.

I'm
stuck with filling the review void while Chris contemplates writing
another rant before week's end, so here is a review with screenshots
from episode 4 of Trigun.
-Lore

I
am continuing my Trigun theme today with screenshots and
a review from the hilarious episode 3. This series is really picking
up, and I look forward to bringing you more of it. Chris purchased
F91 himself to get around my Gundam ban, but he will
have to finish Macross 7 if he wants to ever see the rest
of Gundam X, Z, ZZ, (not G, he hates that), or the
8th MS Team in this lifetime.

Lore
continues Trigun today with screenshots and a review from
episode 2. Lore has also decided to withhold Gundam fansubs
from Chris until he completes reviewing the series he hates with
a passion, Macross 7.
On
the other hand, Chris managed to get ahold of some Gundam
anyway and presents a review for the movie Mobile Suit Gundam
F91.
July
3, 2000
Today
marks many new things. We are debuting a Trigun section with
a review and screenshots for episode 1. This is the first anime
review by Lore, who will now be writing reviews in addition to doing
site design. We have also closed down our old Crosswinds site, so
please update your bookmarks.
In other
news, we are very pleased to hear that Bandai has selected the original
Gundam series as the next one for release; we look forward
to bringing you the reviews!
