Surprise! by Lore 9:26 P.M. EST
This site is getting further away from a mecha theme as I introduce the third western series to be reviewed, Outlaw Star. Check out my review of episode 1, complete with screenshots, in the Shows section.

Cowboy Bebop by Chris 10:45 P.M. EST
No, I'm not reviewing Cowboy Bebop, but our newest staff member Brolly is. If anyone has read our news and noticed my cryptic messages about a new series, this is it. We open up the new section with Brolly's review for Session 1. More will be coming soon. Speaking of cryptic messages, we have yet another new series in the works, but I won't let that cat out of the bag. All I'll say is it's a surprise from Lore.

Mad Ranting by Chris 9:27 A.M. EST
Yes, it's mad ranting day. First, there's a new rant in the Rants area called "The State Of Gundam", which recently finished its run on About.com. Also, there is a new rant on About.com, and you can read it by Clicking Here.

The End of Eagle Week by Chris 12:10 A.M. EST
No, it's not the end of Eagle, but it's the end of my week of 5 consecutive reviews. Just by adding up the numbers, you can guess that today's review is for volume 5. As soon as I get some more Eagle later next week, I'll review it. As for what's next, I'll probably finish up those Macross 7 screenshots.

FAHQ Banner by Lore 4:05 P.M. EST
Because of the persistent requests of Chris to make an FAHQ banner of some sort, I have done so. If you wish to place our banner on your site, you can find a sample of it and the code necessary in the About section.

Even More Eagle by Chris 12:13 A.M. EST
The week of Eagle continues with my review for volume 4. After covering number 5, I'll be moving on to something else for awhile. Maybe a new show, but I'm not sure yet. By the way, Lore added a new mascot to the Links section. Who is it? Well, since it's the Links section, who else could it be but Link himself?

October 26, 2000

Amazing Disappearing FAHQ by Chris 11:51 A.M. EST
Yes, we did disappear for almost two days because of server trouble, but that's been resolved now. Well, now it's time to get back to work. For today's update I have my delayed review for volume 3 of Eagle. Check it out.

October 24, 2000

Eagle and More by Chris 10:10 A.M. EST
Today there's plenty of things I have to get by. First, a review is up for volume 2 of Eagle in the Comics section. Now let me get to some things I forgot yesterday. Lore had promised a Chat feature, but we've decided to hold off on that and see how the Forum does first. Also, I've updated the contest to add a new benefit to the winner: forum moderator. Lastly, we're looking for errors that may have arisen from such a massive update of the site. If you happen to spot any, report them to Lore.

Frames and Forums and... by Chris 12:19 A.M. EST
Well, we've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes, but it's paid off. All 300 or so of our pages have completely been redone in frames, and that was no easy task for Lore. Also, Lore added a forum, which has been often requested by visitors. Now you can speak your mind and discuss things about our site. I've been doing some work myself in the background. Just in time for Election 2000 is my coverage of the manga Eagle: The Making Of An Asian-American President. I'm opening the section in with a review for volume 1 in the newly renamed Comics section. One other thing that has changed is some section names. The purpose of this is to make them broader for future expansion, such as live action shows. Also, the contest is still running and entries are coming in, so keep sending them. Well, now that our new forum is up, why not discuss the changes to the site? Also, please report any errors to Lore.

A Real Review by Chris 10:42 P.M. EST
Wow! Believe it or not, we actually -review- things here! This time there's no new screen grabs or mascots, but a good old fashioned review. I've opened up the Gundam 0079 section in the Manga area with a review for volume 1. Let me also elaborate a bit on what Lore and I are planning. We definitely will be switching out the entire site to frames. This will make our lives much easier in regards to updating. And we will finally have a Forum and Chat area. Also, we will be reorganizing the menu a bit to expand for future updates, including even live action shows. Also, there's a new anime series being reviewed in the background, but I won't say a word about it yet.

October 17, 2000

Current Plans by Lore 4:51 P.M. EST
Over the past several days, I have been working on overhauling the site using frames. This will make our updates much speedier in the future, which translates into more content for our fans! The conversion should be completed by Monday. New additions you should notice by then are a message board and a chat room. In the meantime, I have two new mascots: Ghaleon from the Lunar series and Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura. Now, nearly every section has one. The contest is also going quite well, so keep sending in those reviews!

October 15, 2000

FAQ Update by Chris 10:31 A.M. EST
It's a minor update, but I've reorganized the FAQ into two main sections: General Site Questions, and Specific Series Questions. The first questions in the new area are about Macross, so be sure to read it if you're a fan of the series.

October 14, 2000

New Mascots by Lore 2:44 A.M. EST
Three sections now have new mascots in the upper left corners. The new mascots are Naga, The Joker, and Vash. You can find them in the Slayers, Rants, and Trigun sections respectively.

October 13, 2000

A Lunatic's Work, Continued by Chris 10:54 A.M. EST
For today's update I have 20 new screenshots rom Macross 7, which covers episodes 21-30. Having to pop in this episodes nearly drove me mad, so I hope to finish the screenshots for this series soon before they do.

October 12, 2000

New Dragon Ball by Chris 12:06 A.M. EST
Yesterday, Viz released volume 2 of the Dragon Ball manga, and I immediately grabbed a copy of it. Today you get to read my review for it. As far is this series goes, I'll probably kill the time until volume 3 comes out by reviewing volume 17, which is the start of Dragon Ball Z. Also, the Lore Store has been updated to include all the products I've reviewed in the Manga section.

October 11, 2000

The Big Contest by Chris 2:13 P.M. EST
Yes, that's right, we're running a contest. The website is becoming rather like a behemoth now, and we're looking for some new writers. The best submitted review wins, and its writer joins our staff. For more details, see the link above.

A New Feature by Chris 10:13 A.M. EST
To those who take notice of the time, let me just say that there's no X-Files reference hidden there. Anyway, today I take a brief depature from the standard review and offer an article called "The Road To FAHQ: A Retrospective." As the title suggests, it's a look back at the creation of this site and a chronicle of our first six months online. Check it out in the About section.

October 10, 2000

Slayers Return by Chris 3:27 P.M. EST
After a long absence, our reviewer Miaka returns with more reviews. Today I'm uploading her reviews for episodes 2-3 of Slayers. Be on the lookout for more from her in the near future.

October 8, 2000

New Sections by Lore 12:51 A.M. EST
Now you will see why we haven't been updating as much as usual lately. We have been hard at work on a Manga section and an About section. The Manga section features reviews of Cardcaptor Sakura, Dragon Ball, Gundam: Blue Destiny , and Fushigi Yugi. The About section contains answers to questions we are frequently asked. We hope you enjoy these new additions!

October 4, 2000

New Rant by Lore 2:56 P.M. EST
There is a new rant by Chris, in the Rants section, which reveals the hypocrisies of Planet Namek and the Anti-Ep movement. This rant was also submitted to Pro-Ep as an editorial for their website.

October 1, 2000

Piracy Update by Chris 10:44 P.M. EST
Earlier this evening I received an email from the webmaster of Trigun Neo. In it, she apologized for her theft of our reviews and complied with our request to take down the reviews. Hopefully this will be a message to anyone who has their eyes on our reviews.

Current Plans by Chris 11:02 A.M. EST
With the new months comes new sections and more reviews. Currently, we are working on a general information section called 'About', as well as a Manga section. Also, you may have noticed the Pro-Ep banner in the corner. We have joined the Pro-Ep Alliance to prevent Planet Namek and its organization Anti-Ep from shutting down full episode sites. In the meantime, we're going to get some reviews for those new sections and continue our efforts to shut down that crappy Trigun site that stole our reviews.
