More Macross by Chris 11:38 P.M. EST
For today's update I've got a few Macross items. First, there's newly re-written reviews (with screenshots) for episodes 13-16 of the original series. Next up is a mecha section for Air Cavalry Chronicles, with pictures courtesy of Jameson Leaser. While not a true Macross design series, it is related. These designs, which consist of some originals and some recycled Advanced Valkyrie designs, were originally for the project that evolved into Escaflowne. Many of these designs have since appeared in Macross 7 and other projects. Finally, Jameson has sent in an updated version of the Big List for Macross.

Thanks go out to Neo-Era for finding them and Psycho_Al for cleaning them up. Next, Machineman has provided higher quality scans of some of the new ZAFT mecha, along with a new picture for the Sky Grasper with Aile equipment.

Attention Pato Fans by Corben 8:53 P.M. EST
If you've looked at our Patlabor section you might have notice that it was a tad bit disorganized. The Patlabor section is being completely redone starting with the first OVA, Movie I, and the TV series. Expect to see new profiles for mecha in those sections shortly and The New Files OVA, Movie II, WXIII and the manga sections to be updated soon after. With these new updates we need new lineart as well as extensive info on Labors and other advanced mecha featured in Movie II, WXIII and the manga. We are looking for lineart and specs, not profiles. If you would like to help you can send any pics or info via e-mail to
mahqmecha@bellsouth.net. Please use the subject line "Patlabor mecha", as anything else will be automatically deleted. Also, please do not submit questions to this address as it's only for mecha info and picture submissions only. Any info must include a source and will be verified as best as possible. If you submit false info or are spamming this address you will simply be ignored. When you submit please give large, quality pictures. It is preferred that official lineart be submitted but your own art may be submitted. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT SOMEONE ELSE'S ARTWORK. Also, if you wish to be thanked in any update that uses stuff that you submit please indicate in the e-mail and give me a name to thank you by. If your own personal artwork is used you will be credited on the profile page. Please do not expect to be thanked if you submit scanned line art. We cannot thank everyone and some people might submit the same lineart, so don't get mad if someone is thanked for something that you also submitted. If you wish to talk to me in real time you can find me in our chatroom using the nickname "Corben." I am usually available there on the weekends and on weeknights Eastern Standard Time USA.

Mecha Marathon by Chris 8:45 P.M. EST

I've got loads of new profiles that are now in Burke's Mobile Weapons format. I don't feel like listing them all here, so you can see what's new by checking the Mobile Weapons and Fighting Spaceships pages. Credit for the Gundam and MSV profiles goes to RGZ-91 and Ryukami, while the Zeonic Front profiles are courtesy of WhiteWolf and the updated Silhouette F91 and Gundam F90 profiles are courtesy of Mark064.

Today seems to be a busy day with the updates. I've got loads of new SEED pictures, courtesy of exZERO with name translations by Mark Simmons. First up is a new bigger picture for the Sky Grapser, along with the tank mode of the ZAUUTO. There's also three Earth Alliance ships, along with the GINN OCHER Type, which is in both SEED-MSV and the TV series. Thanks go out to Dave Skinner for cleaned up pics.

I have no Work Ethic by TheNobleGundam 3:08 P.M. EST
I know it has been nearly two years sense my last reviews, and I’m sorry. But due to the fact that I’m incredibly lazy and there has been a lot of stuff going on in my life I haven’t done much reviewing. So after all this time here are sessions 3 and 4 of Cowboy Bebop. Also, Chris has made screenshots for sessions 2-4.

Sad Day for Mecha Fans by Chris 10:07 P.M. EST
It's been recently announced that Japanese voice actress Inoue You died on February 28 from an unspecified type of cancer. Though most may not recognize her by name, they'd certainly recognize her work, including many series featured here. She's probably most famous for playing Sayla Mass/Artesia Deikun in various incarnations of Gundam, but she also was featured in Patlabor as Kanuka Clancy, as well as Gepernitch in Macross 7.
