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.

by Chris 11:04 P.M. EST
The White Base finally arrives at Earth, and you
can read about it in the review (with screenshots) for episode 5

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

can say I'm satisfied with what I see.

by Chris 10:15 A.M. EST
Today's first update includes reviews and screenshots for episodes

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.

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.

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.

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.
