Domon by Chris 1:14 P.M.
EST
Other commitments have kept me from updating regularly, but that
will change soon. In the meantime, you can read my review (with
screenshots) for episode 46 of G Gundam.

The
End of the Gundam Fight by Chris
1:23 P.M. EST
Since G Gundam is now licensed for U.S. release, it's time
to finish those reviews. This time I present reviews and screenshots
for episodes 44-45. The remaining four will be completed soon.

The
Amazing Spider-Man by Chris
10:31 A.M. EST
The final update to the Gundam mecha profiles is in the
works, but I'd like to take this time for an announcement. For
anyone wondering what role the entertainment industry plays after
the events of Sept. 11, then I suggest purchasing a copy of The
Amazing Spider-Man #36 by J. Michael Straczynski, best known
for creating Babylon 5. JMS uses Spider-Man as a platform
to discuss all the events since that tragic day, and his words
are sincere, sorrowful, and hopeful all at the same time. The
artists should also be mentioned for their work, as they create
some great images, such as a crying Dr. Doom (you have to see
it for yourself). The issue, featuring an all black cover, went
on sale last Wednesday and is available in all comic shops and
newstands.

Knockin
on Heaven's Door by Chris
11:12 A.M EST
This update is another exclusive review. This time it's for the
movie Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' On Heaven's Door, which has
yet to be licensed by Bandai for a U.S. release. Speaking licensing,
Jerry Chu of Bandai confirmed an earlier report by ANS
that G Gundam will be the next Gundam series to
be released in the U.S. No details about the release are available
at this time. Though I was hoping they would release Zeta Gundam
next, it's sure to come eventually. Of course, my reviews
for the last few episodes of the series will be completed long
before the series arrives here.

RancorClaw
Strikes Again by Chris
11:42 P.M. EST
Today's update is a bit of a change from the usual stuff. Fan
artist RancorClaw has been posting quite a bit of modified lineart
on the Forum, and I've collected it all in the Fan Art Gallery.
Also, he has done some extra work with lineart to provide a nicer
version of Gundam ZZ's infamous Zeta Zaku, so check it
out.

Live
Action Gundam by Chris
3:42 P.M. EST
For today's update I present an exclusive review for the live
action Gundam movie G-Saviour (with screenshots).
Does the movie live up to a Gundam fan's expectations,
or is it a piece of crap? Well, read for yourself and find out.
On a related note, Bandai plans to release this movie domestically
on DVD in January 2002.

More
Kamille by Chris 11:30
P.M. EST
Yes, more Zeta Gundam reviews have been upgraded. This time
it's episodes 19-23, which completes the upgrades for this series.
Also, episodes 17-20 finally have screenshots. There's two new
Fanfic chapters by Neoguy23 available, along with a new series
by Drake.

The
Last Warrior by Chris
10:02 A.M. EST
I noticed that with the last few updates I had forgotten something:
posting Neoguy23's fanfic series! I had many chapters ready to
go, but simply forgot to upload them. So to make up for that,
I have uploaded chapters 5-10 to catch up. Expect more soon.

UC
0087 by Chris 7:27 P.M.
EST
Today I have two updates relating to that year in the Universal
Century. The first is upgraded reviews for episodes 15-18 of Z
Gundam, along with some new screenshots. The second update
is a section of mecha profiles for the recently releases CGI short
film Gundam Neo Experience 0087: Green Divers. Thanks go
out to both Mark Simmons and Neo-Era for pointing me to pictures
and providing info on the suits in the film.

Amuro
In Action by Chris 10:02
P.M. EST
Unfortunately, fans of Mobile Suit Gundam still haven't
seen the ending to the original series. Perhaps now that Gundam
0080 is on, CN will change their minds. Those who want to
read about the further adventures of Amuro can check out my upgraded
reviews for episodes 11-14 of Zeta Gundam.

Nasty
Poison Gas by Chris 4:06
P.M. EST
Before finishing off the mecha profiles, I thought I would sneak
in a review for the newly released episode 29 of Zeta Gundam,
complete with screenshots. Also, I'd like to remind everyone that
Gundam 0080 will begin airing on Cartoon Network tomorrow
night at 12:30 A.M. Be sure to watch, as it is a great series.
