![]() Monday, February 5th One More Gundam Wing Run I meant to post this a few days ago, but I never got around to doing it. Toonami has announced that they will air Gundam Wing again on the Toonami block at 4:30 PM on March 12th. Gundam Wing will be replacing Ronin Warriors on the Toonami schedule. Apparantly, since MSGD has been delayed till late spring/early summer, Cartoon Network may want to air Gundam Wing one more time. Unfortunately, Gundam Wing UNCUT will not be aired during the Toonami: Midnight Run. Also, Endless Waltz will be aired once again for the third time, on March 2nd. Wednesday, January 31st Gundam Game News Sega is planning to release more Gundam games for the Dreamcast. Their first game for the Dreamcast, Gundam Side Story, was outstanding. Quality of graphics were excellent and the game ran smoothly, or the majority of it. A few kinks within the game were noticed but in all, a very good game. At this current time, Sega and Sony are working out an agreement for a Gundam Game to be made. Don't know by what company yet. Also, the development of Nintendo's Gameboy Advance is now official. Despite the fact that Dreamcast has a lot of spectacular games, with the X-Box and Gamecube coming out, Dreamcast may die like the Saturn did. Playstation 2 is already taking charge of the gaming industry is sweeping the Dreamcast out the door. Sega will be around for awhile and will probably find some way to counter-attack to survive. Perhaps a Gundam Wing or Endless Waltz game may come out for Dreamcast. Biographies I felt that the biographies for a few of the characters were kinda blank. They explained only the minor details of that particular person. I've added a paragraph to some of the biographies to make them a lot better. Mostly the characters that make little appearences within the series. Example: Catherine Bloom I'm currently typing up mobile suit specs. for the Gundam Wing Mecha Guide as part of my promise to update. Those are coming on very slowly and will be added at the end of the week. Afterwards, I'll add more MP3's to the Music Section for those that want to download them. Tuesday, January 30th Advertisement For some of you that ask me and Death this question, we didn't move the site to another server. I'm still maintaining the website on my own Linux machine, here in Houston, Texas. The banner ad is a deal from a company that I received and accepted on Death's behalf, since he's a minor. Please don't say that Death Zero sold out to a company for money. As a fan myself, me and Death both believe that we should help promote Gundam Wing in the best way that we can. The two of us see it fit to aid a company, who's purpose is very similar to our own. We wish to help bring Anime into the United States, in hopes that the term "Anime" and "Cartoon" will soon be known as two different forms of art. Stop the hate mail, please. I'm making this post on behalf of Death Zero, since I'm a lot more lenient when it comes to stuff like this. Those people that sent him hate mail, will be posted in his Mailbag section for kicks. MP3's Added Added more MP3's in the music section of the site. All the new MP3's are from the Endless Waltz series. I'll be adding more MP3's later tonight for those that want more. Banner Ads Just added the banner ads to all my pages on the site. Clicking on the site will automatically take you to my sponser, Pacific Collection. Gundam models and the such can be purchased within this site's database system. The models will be shipped to you as soon as possible. Check out the site and look at some of the products it has to offer. I'll see if I have time later tonight to do any updating to the site. I probably will have time soon. I'll make a post when I do update. Monday, January 29th Endless Waltz DVD Cartoon Network has just released the Endless Waltz DVD. No warning or anything was given ahead of time, they just started selling them. The Endless Waltz DVD includes the following features: ![]() Movies in both OVA and movie form Japanese 2.0 Audio English 2.0 Audio English 5.1 Audio English Subtitles with Japanese Voicing Cartoon Network has done a very good job in selling this DVD. It looks like this DVD will be one of the best Gundam Wing DVD's that will be released. I'll see if I can add the banner placements on top of the pages, if I have time to do so tonight. Make up work from school is beginning to get to me. Thursday, January 25th My Return I apologize sincerely for the lack of updates. I've been sick this past week and I haven't gotten around to do any updating. I'm making this post so you people can have a feeling on what will be done to this site when I have time to update. First, I'll be placing a banner ad on the top of this page, for those who want to buy models and the such from a company that is going to sponser my website. I hope you people out there will visit that site and make some purchases Second, I'll update the Mailbag with a few more emails from the most ignorant people in this nation. Apparently, they don't take heed and read the warnings on that page. Third, more MP3 and WAV files will be added to the Music and Sounds section of the site. I've gotten more songs and will be adding those to that section, for those who want to download them. Forth, the Gundam Wing Mecha Guide will be updated as well. I'll be adding mobile suit specs as soon as I have time to do so. Adding specs takes awhile and is extremely time consuming on my part. As of the moment, I don't plan on updating till after the weekend. However, I am still accepting emails and will respond to those emails that are sent to me through the week. Saturday, January 20th Counter Placed I've just added a counter to the page. This way, I can see how many people actually come to my website. The counter is located below the web poll. Nothing more for tonight, at least, I didn't plan on doing anything else tonight. The counter may affect the loading time of the main page. If it affects it greatly for 56k users, then I'll remove it from the site. Poll Added I didn't know what to work on the website, since I feel that it's pretty much done with all the content. It's just that, I've been editing the pages to make them better and better. To help me decide on what I would like to work on, I've added a poll so you people can vote on what I need to work on. I'll see if I can add a counter to the page. I'll probably do that tonight or tomorrow evening, after work. Friday, January 19th More Sounds More sounds have been added to the Music/Sounds section. I hope everyone enjoys them. They're all just quotes that the Gundam pilots have said during the series. All of them are my personal favorites. I feel that the quotes really bring out the story of Gundam Wing and how different people view wars. I'll see if I can add more tomorrow morning. I'll be adding more MP3 files and more WAV files to the library. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, if I have time to do so. Links Organized I've added a table to the Links Section. They should appear more oraganized now. The next section to be organized will be the Mecha Upgrade section. More Sounds I've added more WAV files to the Music/Sounds section of the site. I've organized the type of multimedia file in a table to make them easier to identify. I'll see if I can add more later tonight or tomorrow morning. Hardwork Has Paid Off Whoa, it looks like I may be getting a business deal from a company that wants to use my site to help sell some of their Gundam products. If the right strings are pulled, I'll be replacing the Model Guide section with a Merchandise section to the website. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly and I'll be able to add that section. Endless Waltz Mecha Sypnosis As a request from someone from Canada (Hey, gotta help out the Canadian Gundam Wing fans as well), I've added my opinions and information about the Mobile Suits in the Endless Waltz Mecha section. Information about each suit has been added in that section. I'm currently working on the mobile suit data and information in the Gundam Wing Mecha section. Those will probably be added late at night, since I'm also adding a new look and more sounds to the Music and Sounds section. Expect those to be up late tonight or early tomorrow morning. Tuesday, January 16th New Sub-Section I've just created a new sub-section on the site. The Affiliation Rules section can be found at the top of the Links section. I rarely do affiliations, but I do realize that there are a lot of good Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz websites out there. Just make sure your site falls under those categories when you email it to me. I'm planning on updating the Links, Mecha Upgrade, and music sections by adding tables. This way, the links and text on the site can be easily read and identified. I'll probably do that when I get home from school. Why the hell am I up? It's 6:30 AM Central time, I have no idea why I'm up at this time. Since I am up, I've done a little bit of updating. I've just created a new button graphic for those of you who thought that I should make a new one. It's located in the FAQ section, where it has been since that section was created. I'll see what else I can do this morning before I head out for school. Sunday, January 14th Quit Wasting My Time If some of you out there don't know who I am, then I'll tell you. I'm the person running the server so Death Zero can post his website on the net. As a request from me, he posted my email address in his contact section, so I can answer your questions about website hosting and any server questions that you may have. THAT IS IT....NOTHING ELSE. Please stop sending me emails asking about how the site was created and what programs are used to make the site. Send those emails to Death Zero, not me. I'm getting sick and tired of receiving emails from people who can't read what is written in the contact section of this site. I apolgize if I sound mean, but please use the time and good common sense to read what is posted on the site. Mobile Suit Gundam DVD in English Only Looks like Bandai will only be releasing an English only version DVD of the original Gundam series. Turns out, Sunrise isn't allowing Bandai to release a bi-lingual DVD of Mobile Suit Gundam, therefore, preventing Gundam fans to see the series with Japanese voices and English subtitles. My opinion on the matter, Sunrise has every right to do what they wish to do. I respect Sunrise's decision but I don't feel that it's the best decision they could make. I do know that they must have a good reason to do so and I'm sure that reason will come at a later time. I don't mind only watching the dub, seeing as how great Gundam Wing was dubbed, MSGD should be as good (if not twice) as good as Gundam Wing was. At the moment, Bandai is negotiating with Sunrise to release a bi-lingual DVD but Sunrise doesn't seem to be letting up. With the popularity of Gundam expanding in the United States, Sunrise will probably let up once the English DVD of MSGD is released and allow Bandai to release a bi-lingual DVD. I'd give it a few months before Sunrise will give Bandai rights to release a bi-lingual DVD. New Animes in the Making The title doesn't really fit the news article, but it's what popped in my head. Turns out, the creator of Tenchi Muyo is working on another Tenchi Muyo OVA, or perhaps finishing up the rest of the series. However, rumor has it that the new or continued series will revolve mostly around Tenchi and the three Goddesses. No real word about that yet. Also, the creator of Sailor Moon is planning on making a new series in Japan for a Sailor Moon come back in 2001. Word has it, the creator will change the look of all the Sailor Scouts or make completely new characters for the series. Hell, the creator might even combine both ideas to make a better series. I just pray that the new Sailor Moon that comes out (If it does come out), doesn't end up being like the ones that we see now. I'll keep everyone posted on this matter as soon as more news comes in. Endless Waltz Release Date I've just discovered that the Endless Waltz Special Editioin VHS and/or DVD will be released in February. Not really sure if Bandai is actually gonna release it that day, since all the Gundam Wing DVD's are still being made at the moment. I've added it to the Release Dates on the sidebar for safe keeping. Friday, January 12th Logo I got kinda bored so I thought that I'd make a new banner. I think it looks pretty good with the Deathscythe Hell Custom on the left side. I'm currently trying to think of a new idea for a button as I watch the Dragon Ball Z Bardock Special. I'll see what I come up with later tonight. Release Dates and Top News I've taken the liberty of adding a Top News section on the side bar and a list of release dates. I figured this would be the easiest way to identify everything that is coming out soon. I'll be doing some more updating later today. Thursday, January 11th Updates After a long absence and nearly nothing new to the website, I've done a huge update. I've been updating secretly and have uploaded a lot of things at once. Thumbnails have been added to both the Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz image galleries. The loading times for the thumbnail galleries may be slow for some 56k modem users, I'll be working to make sure they load up faster when I have time to do so. There are a total of 5 to 9 thumbnails per page. So please be patient when loading up the thumbnails. Links have also been update with more links to choose from. The Mecha Upgrade guide has been corrected slightly, since there are many opinions about certain things. Example: Mobile Suit piloting and self-detonations I'll see what else I can do with the updates. I dunno what will come up in my mind, so just keep checking back with the website. Friday, January 5th Endless Waltz Mecha Update I've added a new look the the Endless Waltz Mecha Guide. I've put images of the Endless Waltz Gundams and have provided links to each of their data through the images. I'll be doing the same with the Gundam Wing Mecha Guide as well, but that may take some time to do. Thursday, January 4th Award Added My good friend Amuro, from Neo Gundam Wing, has given my website an award. I've posted it in the awards section. It's My Birthday It's my birthday today. I've already gotten beat down thanks to my friends Hung and Binh. My day isn't all that busy right now. No updates will be made during the weekend since I got a date on Saturday and I'll be working all day Sunday. Thumbnails will be added next week, probably Thursday and Friday since people are taking finals that day. Good thing I'm exempt from my finals. Look for more updates next week. |
