Stuff from everywhere by Chris 1:50 P.M. EST There's a lot to cover today, so let's get right to it. First, Brian sent in a review for episode 1 of the L.Gaim OVA series. There's also lots of new lineart today.
Lovers loving love lovingly by Chris 11:02 P.M. EST No, it's not a really late Valentine's Day update. Today's update is a review for the movie Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam II: Lovers.

Right of Left by Chris 12:30 P.M. EST For today's update, Peter takes a brief respite from his trek across Canada to send in a review for the prequel special Fafner: RIGHT OF LEFT. This review completes the Fafner section, unless some new project happens to be announced in the future.

Also, there's a new Mailbag up today.

The Blue Terror by Chris 12:30 A.M. EST Today's update continues the manga theme. I've posted a detailed re-review of The Blue Destiny, which was originally reviewed close to 6 years ago.
March 16, 2006
The Devil you Know by Chris 3:22 P.M. EST A new review for volume 3 of the G Gundam manga wraps up the coverage for that section. Also, there's a new Mailbag up today.
I've also got an an announcement that might interest anyone who lives in the South Florida area. This Sunday, the Consulate General of Japan and FIU's Institute of Asian Studies will be holding the Japan Anime Festival. The guest of honor is Mitsuhisa Ishikawa, president of Production I.G (Mobile Police Patlabor, Ghost in the Shell, Jin-Roh). Click here for more information. MAHQ staff will be there to provide coverage of Ishikawa's lecture, so expect more on that later.

Gundam Fighting by Chris 5:07 P.M. EST Today's update is short and to the point - a new review is up for volume 2 of the G Gundam manga.
March 8, 2006
Chronicling a lost war by Chris 6:20 P.M. EST Today's update consists of several items. First, I've opened up a section for the Lost War Chronicles manga with a review of volume 1. Second, I've opened a section for the Ecole du Cielmanga, with reviews coming soon. Thanks go out to Kuruni (aka Aurabattler) for the banner image. Kuruni also sent in some new lineart for Dragonarand SPT Layzner. I've also opened the mecha section for the Apocalypse 0079OVA lineart and specs courtesy of Deacon Blues. Finally, there's some lineart for Stargazer's Strike Noir, which was found by AmuroNT1 and cleaned up by Mark064. It's not the best lineart there is, but a new and improved piece should show up soon.
On another note, I've created a Mailbag Drop Box in the Forums. Here, you can submit questions for me to answer in the Mailbag. Of course, I'll still accept submissions via e-mail, but this is simply another option to use.

Gazing at stars by Chris 11:22 A.M. EST I've got a light update for today, but important nonetheless. Based on information posted by RGZ-91 over at Gunota, I've created anime and mecha sections for the new OVA series Mobile Suit Gundam SEED C.E. 73 Stargazer. Watch this space for more info on the series as it becomes available.

Rise, Shining Gundam! by Chris 6:40 P.M. EST Now that the Forum is up, it's time to get back to regular content updates. The Forum has only been live for about 6 hours, but so far I'm very pleased with its progress. I didn't emphasize this in my previous post, but the new Forum is meant to be a clean slate for everyone in the community. Whatever happened on the previous board or elsewhere is gone. Anyway, back to the update. I've posted a review for volume 1 of the G Gundam manga.
Mecha Talk Begins Talking by Chris 12:09 P.M. EST After many dark years with ezboard, I'm happy to finally announce a major upgrade to MAHQ: the new Forum. Dubbed Mecha Talk, the new Forum is accessible via the standard Forum link in our sidebar. It's also available separately through mahqforum.com and .net, as well as mechatalk.com. Because this new Forum runs on different software, all current members will have to re-register their accounts. As I originally noted in February, the old Forum will stay active until April 1 to allow members to transition to the new Forum. However, starting today, the old Forum will be a no man's land with no supervision by staff. It's recommended that you wrap up any discussions there quickly and move over to the new Forum. On April 1, the old Forum will be completely deleted.
At this time, I'd like to make a few notes. First, Dale and I would like to express our gratitude to Ben, who did a knockout job configuring the Forum in a very short amount of time. I'd also like to thank Corey for helping to set up the rules and procedures that will allow the Forum to run smoothly. I'd also like to thank our new Moderators who will be staffing the Forum. Each of them is a long-time contributor to MAHQ in one way or another, and I'm glad to have them aboard. In what is clearly a shameless plug, most of our new Moderators come from our IRC channel, so be sure to visit #mahq at irc.zirc.org. Also, you'll notice a spiffy new logo on the Forum. That design will serve as our official logo when the site is re-designed. Thanks go out to Damian Fuentes for designing the logo. Lastly, I'd like to thank all the visitors who make this site possible. I hope you enjoy the Forum.

Forum update by Chris 1:08 P.M. EST As I noted in my last update, the old forum is on its way out. We're still working on configuring the new Forum, and we expect to launch sometime this weekend. More info coming soon.
