An Important Number by Chris 6:05 P.M. EST
Today is a very important day in the history of this website. Why? Well, with today's updates, we have reached our 500th review. 500 reviews! Even I can't believe it myself. The review with screenshots for episode 7 of Gundam has the distinction of being number 500, while the review of episode 11 of Victory Gundam is 501. Also, screenshots are available for episodes 31-40 of Gundam Wing.

The White Base finally arrives at Earth, and you can read about it in the review (with screenshots) for episode 5 of Gundam. Also, screenshots are now up for episodes 11-20 of Gundam Wing. More will be available soon.

Domon Strikes Back by Chris 10:00 A.M. EST
This morning's first update is reviews and screenshots for episodes 34-35 of G Gundam. It looks like pretty soon this series will be wrapping up. I'll be back again later for Gundam.

Escape From Luna II by Chris 10:20 P.M. EST
This evening's update is a review with screenshots for episode 4 of Gundam. As the first weeks comes close to its end, I can say I'm satisfied with what I see.

Today's first update includes reviews and screenshots for episodes 32-33 of G Gundam, as well as upgraded reviews for Gundam X 6-10.

Vote To Attack by Chris 10:50 P.M. EST
Today's second update is a review with screenshots for episode 3 of Gundam. Also, screenshots are finally available for the three compilation movies. Finally, the product purchasing links for Gundam have been changed, as it turns out that Right Stuf assigned the product number I used to the edited version. The links have been corrected and now lead to the uncut version. Dig in.

Bakunetsu God Finger by Chris 8:15 A.M. EST
This morning's update should be quite clear from the tag line. Yep, its reviews and screenshots for episodes 30-31 of G Gundam. Pretty soon I'll have reached the maximum number of episodes translated so far. I'll be back later today for more Gundam.

Destroy Gundam! by Chris 10:30 P.M. EST
As you might have guessed, today's second update is a review with screenshots for episode 2 of Gundam. I wonder what the ratings for the first week will be, compared to The 08th MS Team and Gundam Wing.

The Finals by Chris 9:15 A.M. EST
Well, The 08th MS Team aired last night, and I must say CN did a good job. Foul language and blood was removed, but those are about the only edits I could see. This morning's update includes two things. First, reviews and screenshots for episodes 28-29 of G Gundam are now available. Second, I've begun the process of upgrading my old reviews of Gundam X to my current standard. The newly edited reviews (with some new screenshots) for episodes 1-5 are now up. I'll be back later today for Gundam episode 2.

Gundam History by Chris 6:00 P.M. EST
Well, the first episode of Gundam has aired, and I must say I'm very pleased with what Bandai has done. The restoration of video, while not perfect, has managed to elevate the quality from a late '70's show to a mid '80's show. They also left in the cheesy music, although many sound effects are new. Some characters in the dub were a bit off, but overall the dub was good. People who pay close attention in the credits will see Mark Simmons listed as a Creative Consultant. Don't forget we've already reviewed episode 1, and daily reviews will follow after this.

We're Back! by Chris 3:40 P.M. EST
After over a week of server trouble, we're back, and just in time for Gundam to start airing. There's a lot of catching up to do, so here's whats in today's update: a review for the graphic novel Gundam Wing: Ground Zero, episode 26 of Zeta Gundam, and episodes 26-27 of G Gundam. Starting tomorrow there will be daily reviews of Gundam, along with all the other stuff I've been reviewing lately.

Site Name Change by Chris 12:10 A.M. EST
Yes, from now on the name of the website will be Gundam HQ due to the massive amount of Gundam reviews. All other non-Gundam reviews will be deleted. HAHAHA!!! No, of course not. Today's update includes reviews and screenshots of episodes 24-25 of G Gundam, which places me at the halfway mark of the series. Also, there's 3 new CG images by artist Xamp in the Gundam Fan Art Gallery. Check em out, they're nice.

Domon Kicks Some Ass by Chris 12:05 A.M. EST
Cartoon Network is doing some major advertising for Gundam, which I'm glad to see. You can see two commercials airing regularly during Toonami. Anyways, today's update includes reviews and screenshots for episodes 22-23 of G Gundam.

July 10, 2001

Gundam Stuff by Chris 10:25 A.M. EST
As expected, today's update is more G Gundam. It looks like I'll be able to get through most of this series before the original one starts on July 23. Today you can see the reviews (with screenshots) for episodes 20-21.

July 8, 2001

MUAHAHAHA by Chris 12:42 P.M. EST
I just had to use that headline, even though it has nothing to do with the updates. First, I have reviews for episodes 18-19 of G Gundam, including screenshots. The second update is a new section in About called Strange Email. It is a collection of strange and funny emails that I've received from fans.

More Masked Men by Chris 3:55 P.M. EST
I wonder, is it a requirement that virtually every Gundam series has a masked man in it? Who is it this time? Well, it's Schwarz Bruder of Neo Germany. You can read about him in my reviews (with screenshots) for episodes 16-17 of G Gundam.

Destroy that Tokyo Tower by Chris 6:40 P.M. EST
Something I've noticed about anime in general is that the Tokyo Tower seems to be a magnet for bad things, and it almost always gets destroyed in one series or another. This strange thing can be seen in my reviews (with screenshots) for episodes 14-15 of G Gundam. We're only a few short weeks away from Gundam airing on Toonami, and I'll be reviewing those episodes daily after they air.

July 3, 2001

A Gundam Milestone by Chris 11:34 A.M. EST
Yes, today is an important day for the website. What is it? Well, the update today is reviews and screenshots for episodes 12-13 of G Gundam. What's important is that the review for episode 13 marks my 200th Gundam review. 200! That's...absolutely insane. Well, I've reviewed 200 episodes so far, and I'll review another 200 more until I'm finally done with all of it.

Mummified Gundam by Chris 2:57 P.M. EST
G Gundam takes a slightly odd turn today with a mummified Gundam, but it gets better when a Gundam goes on the rampage in Neo Turkey. Read more in my reviews (with screenshots) for episodes 10-11.
