[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.3 Ch.11

Chugging along with this series because I really want to get back to wrapping up (or at least catching up on) Blue Destiny at some point.

08th MS TEAM SIDESTORY: TRIVIAL OPERATION (Episode.0)

Gundam's popularity has spawned a wealth of model kit-related content, from magazine serializations to novels and photo stories. One such project, spearheaded by Umanosuke Iida, who directed the latter half of the 08th MS Team anime, graced the pages of Dengeki Hobby Magazine from January 1999 to...

[PARODY NOVEL] Sayla's Ascension

Apologies, things are a bit backlogged at the moment. I have a couple of IRL issues going on (everyone seems to be having a heart attack as of late), so text mediums are a little easier to manage at the moment. Things should balance out, and manga will resume shortly! Until then, here's a funny (...

[MOON GUNDAM] episode 65

Moon Gundam takes a break next month, but will return for the simul-release of Volume.13 on July 26th!

[SENTINEL] - WHAT'S SENTINEL

Back in 2021, I did a quick and dirty breakdown of how Sentinel got its start and set out to debunk a bunch of nonsense that had been parroted in the community forever. As I'm going through and basically translating everything from the mook (sans the model pages) as I wind down the last few chapt...

[SENTINEL] - Gundam Sentinel Novel Explained

Working on some more of the background material from the Gundam Sentinel mook, here's a little outline from the author regarding how the novel fits into the broader spectrum of Gundam and where its roots can be traced back to. Indicated above is one of the pages from the same directory

[ANAHEIM JOURNAL] Moonbase '99 & Material Evolution

A couple more additions to the lore pile this week. It's amusing how this publication pretty much spins 08th MS Team off as a film of the OYW. I guess that's one way to rewrite history! :P More manga tomorrow then I'll be stepping out for a mini-vacation!

[ANAHEIM JOURNAL] Kai Shiden Interview

I've slowly been painstakingly recreating the Anaheim Journal official guidebook, but one of the more interesting (if not contentious) points of lore that comes from it is Melanie Hue's background. I'm sure most of you are familiar with Tomino's original dated/stereotypical draft notes for the ch...

[EXCLUSIVE] Gaia Gear Vol.02 Ch.10

Two more chapters, and this one is a wrap!

[HI-STREAMER] Vol.2 Chapter-N

A few more changes compared to the movie version. All in all I feel like this plays out much better than the film, but that's just me. Astute readers will notice that, yes, Tomino did reuse dialogue from Beltorchika (and, in some instances, descriptors). Two more and that's a wrap for this volume...

And that's a wrap for Vol.02!

Phew! There was a done of dialogue to shop in the chapter! One more, and this volume is a wrap!

[ONE-SHOT] Ghost of Formula 91

The following one-shot was the second "chapter" in the Silhouette Formula project back in the 90s. While this was intended to serve as a bridge from F91 to Victory Gundam, nothing else came of it. We'll likely see more in the future, though. With that, here's some data I translated on the Cluster...

[F91 PREQUEL] Vol.01

Since it's easier and probably faster than downloading from Mega, here's the older release of Vol.1 for those interested!

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE F91 ERA PROJECTS

When plans for F91 were originally kicking around, the assumption was that it was going to be a TV series....

[F91 PREQUEL] Ch.09 "Star View 336 (Part.02)"

Halfway through! Chapter.10 will clock in at 64 pages, for what it's worth. Random difference between these two (mainly because it was split in Ace, if I recall correctly). Other backlogs to follow this week!

Sorry for some of the weird bubbles... this manga artist mimics Yaz and it's absolutely horrendous for trying to formulate speech bubbles coherently.

[V GUNDAM] Letters from Odelo Henrik (#4)

I don't want to sound negative, but I'm struggling to find a true point in this manga. Especially when it's serialization is being so flippant (and quality seems off in this chapter). Ah, well. It's late UC, so...

[RETRANSLATION] Silhouette Formula 91 (Ch.1)

Seeing that F90FF wrapped up and I retranslated F90, it's time for yet another much-needed redo of an older series: SF91! Yes, that older version is pretty cringe. This time, I'm switching things up just a smidge! I've included the prologue from the original serialization in CYBER COMIX magazine ...

[MOON GUNDAM] episode 64

Translation note time!

In this chapter, when Zaji gets word that there's a message from HQ, the two messages exchanged are actually variations of Chinese idioms (translated into Japanese). Oddly enough, they both have the same idiomatic meaning in Chinese. If my Google research is accurate,...
