![]() Friday, September 29th Mecha Upgrade Finished Despite my efforts to go to sleep, I've finished the Mecha Upgrade section. Damn section took me forever to finish. I hope everyone likes it. I'll be adding the win an award section sometime this weekend, but I doubt I'll be able to post it up this weekend. It should be either this weekend or the next. Model Guide Update I've updated the Model Guide with a brand new look. I've broken the section into two seperate parts. The Gundam Wing model guide section and the Endless Waltz model guide section. I've also added 1/100 box top images for both sections. Look for the Mecha Upgrade section tonight or tomorrow morning. The Earliest Bitching I've Ever Posted As I sit here, in the morning sun, I can't help but comment to myself. After checking e-mail this morning, I've received a bunch of requests that I should post up full episodes when time permits itself. First of all, I respect Sunrise and Sotsu Agency enough not do so. Posting up full episodes is in violation of the copyright law. Second, I feel that posting up full episodes, I have violated my right to call myself a Gundam Wing fan. I feel that if one were to post up full episodes, then the webmaster is just making up some lame excuse for people to come to their site. The site may not even have the full episodes but they're saying so, just go get more hits from the movies rather then the content of the site. Come on people, Gundam Wing comes on practically everyday. If you're so interested in seeing these episodes, then just record the damn show. Quit bantering my inbox, as well with any other Gundam Wing site, requesting that we do this. In time, I will upload a movie section, but they will only be small clips from different episodes. The Earliest Post I Have Ever Made It's six in the morning, central time. I have no idea why I'm up this early. Anyway, I plan on putting up the win an award section this weekend. I'm gonna need at least a day to make three different award banners. Chances are, I'll make the banners on Saturday and then upload them on Sunday. Also, I've been thinking about another section to create as well. I feel that the Gundam Wing and Endless Waltz storyline may be a little difficult to apprehend. So, tonight I'll be making the Upgrade Guide, explaining all of the upgrades of mobile suits that all the Gundam pilots obtain. Look for that section sometime tonight. Thursday, September 28th Every Little Vote Counts I've just entered the Gundam Top 50. I've added the little affilate icon on the side bar of the main page. Click on the little button and vote for me. Every little vote counts. Also, I've affilated with the Wrath of Deathscythe Hell, well at least I think I did. If I didn't, then I'll remove the little icon that I have on my sidebar. Button Graphic Made Ok, for those of you who wanted me to make a button, well it looks like your prayers have been answered. Since I didn't have all that good of graphic making programs, this button took me awhile to make. I hope everyone likes it. I've posted it up in the FAQ section and have temporarily placed it on the side bar for the time being. And the Winner is.... I've just finished the awards section. I'm happy to say that the section impresses me, I didn't think it would have turned out so good. Like I said before, I'll be making a section where you can win awards from me. I just need the time to actually make the award banners and set qualifications for each award. Anyhow, I'll add more news about Gundam when time permits me to do so. Until then, I have to get back to my homework. Updates Well, being sick at home just completely blows. However, being at home will give me more time to update. I'll be adding an awards section, showing the awards that this website has won. Also, sometime this weekend, I'll post up a section where your site can win an award from me. The two new sections should be up real soon. Tuesday, September 26th Navigation Problems I changed the font of the navigation bar from Times New Roman to Arial. I had no idea that the font was that hard to read until I tried going to my website up at school. I hope by changing the font, I've helped others be able to read the side bar a lot better then last time. Also, I've updated the FAQ section and added more questions. Monday, September 25th More Links I was surfing the net and stumbled across a lot of amazing Gundam Wing page. I felt that the pages were better then mine so I added them to the links section. Check out the new Dragon Ball Z links and a bunch more Gundam links. News Leans Toward MSGD as New Series The following statement is news from Anime News Service: The November issue of Toyfare magazine includes some interesting Gundam broadcast info. Previously known as the original Gundam TV series is likely to debut on Cartoon Network during the first quarter of 2001. Questions posed to Toonami's creative director, indicate that Bandai has "really insisted" on Mobile Suit Gundam as the series to immediately follow Gundam Wing, this was meant to introduce American viewers to the UC timeline from the beginning, which will "open the door for several series to come." Reportedly, this will allow CN to show the OVAs Gundam 0080 and Gundam 0083. Toonami's creative director also added, "When MS 08th Team comes on, it will be the greatest animated thing we've ever shown." (On showing the original Gundam series on TV, Bandai has conveyed at conventions that after the succes of Gundam Wing traditionally viewed as the "most popular" Gundam series of the 90's, showing the original Gundam series in the U.S. (in a recently reported Japanese poll of 200,000 people Gundam was voted favorite anime of all time.), will lay a "foundation" on which 20 years of the Gundam franchise universe can be built.) It looks like Cartoon Network will air the ever so classic Mobile Suit Gundam as their next series in 2001. I personally, like the idea of airing a so called "classic" anime because it shows what the better anime series are all based on. I think that this is a huge move for Cartoon Network to attract "die hard" anime fans who are into really classic animes. Probably, after airing MSGD, Cartoon Network will begin airing the other series, such as Gundam ZZ, Gundam X, Gundam 0080, etc. Source: GundamLounge Sunday, September 24th Once Again, Zero has added more links and news about the Cotillion I've added a few more links to the links section. Also, I've added a rules of submisson section. If you want to know how to get your page linked then read that first. If your website doesn't fall into the rule's standards, then you'll most likely get bitched at by me for taking up my inbox space and obviously not get linked. Like I said before, I just don't link to any site that is sent to me. I'm sorry if I come off mean, but that's just the way I am. A Very Late Post...Actually, A Very Late Bitching Alright folks, I'm tired of getting link submissions of websites that don't have anything on them. My inbox is just full of links that have nothing on their sites. I mean come on!! If you're going to submit a link to your website or someone else's website, make sure they have more then just their main page. Work on your webpage a little bit more and don't send me a page with only a page or two uploaded. I don't just link anybody. Also, don't ask me for any help on your webpage. You'll probably end up getting bitched at by me or laughed at by my friends. Saturday, September 23rd Links Updated Again, I've added more links to the links section. A new Gundam Wing link added, a game site with cheat codes, and more have all been added. Also, sadly, Deathscythe.net is gone. I don't know what happened to his site but it's just gone. I hope he's just doing a big update and will be returning soon. Best wishes to him. Serious Problem A serious injustice has occured. The After Colony website has been copied. Well, not copied entirely, but the whole page had been copied and all files were ripped from the page and put onto their so called "original" Gundam Wing page. Here's the link. Now, I don't approve of bantering someone's inbox, but I can make an acception to this. E-mail the piss poor webmaster and complain. I hate plagiarism. Thursday, September 21st New Gundam Series to be aired 2001 Looks like Cartoon Network will begin to air another Gundam series on the Toonami block. Possibly, they will air MSGD, Char's Counterattack, Gundam ZZ, Turn a Gundam, or Gundam X. Personally, I would love to see Gundam ZZ or Gundam X aired. Many people are complaining that MSGD and Char's Counterattack are too old and the artwork is really outdated. I'm sorry, but we're not the ones making that decision. All we can do is wait and see what Cartoon Network surprises us with. Update on Sci-Fi channel Situation I've recieved information that the Sci-Fi channel is adding an anime series line up sometime. Sci-Fi channel will most likely air the anime's either on Saturday morning or Saturday night. Anime series include: The Tenchi Muyo OVA, Ranma 1/2, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. An approximate date has not been set to air these three, but I'll keep everyone posted on any more news that arrives. A Small Change in the Site I've rearranged a few things on my site. First of all, the old news section is now organized by the month I've posted up the news. Also, the links section has been updated with a new look and a few more links to it. Also, I'll be adding a movies section sometime in the next few months. I have to take the time to gather movies from my own power. I'll try to get the new movie section up in the next few months. Wednesday, September 20th Gundam Game Being Made Bandai is releasing a Gundam game for the PSX and PSII in Japan sometime this January. The game will sell for about 4000 to 4500 yen. The game will be a battle simulator and is based on the Mobile Suit Gundam series. The game will support WonderGate, which allows you to battle against a friend using PHS mobile phones. Endless Waltz Cotillion is Complete With Cox cable now installed on my computer, I have completed the whole site in little over an hour. The FAQ section and the Music Section have been all been complete. Quick Reminder: The Endless Waltz OVA will be aired on October 20th as a special. Saturday, September 16th Internet Will Be Up With the Quickness Finally, I'll have an easier time updating once Cox Cable comes to my house on Tuesday and installs Road Runner. Then I'll be able to update things much faster and be able to retrieve more news then I have been normally. Keep checking back for more information. Links Update I've updated the Links section and have added a few more of my favorite links and such. I'm also looking to add more Gundam Sites to the list so submit a site if it's not already on the list. Until then enjoy the rest of the links. Small Update on Side Bar On the homepage of the website, I've added a little disclaimer on the side bar so I don't get sued or anything. Also, there's a small chance that I'll be adding the sounds up but don't count on it. School is really hammering me and I've got so much to do. Don't expect a site update anytime soon, but I will continue to report any important news about Gundam Wing or Endless Waltz. Please stop the e-mails about me updating, I realize I haven't done so in awhile. Just be patient, thank you. Tuesday, September 12th Gundam Comes Out On Top in Japan On a recent poll, of 200,000 in Japan, Gundam has been named the best Anime ever created. I agree with the Japanese since the Gundam series is a well written and thought out series. Dragon Ball Z fans can be happy to say that Dragon Ball placed in the top 5 best Animes, which is incredibly good since the Dragon Ball Z story gets repetive. Source: GundamLounge Monday, September 11th An Update...Kind of I've been fiddling around with the design of my site to see what areas need improving. All in all, it's not that big of an update but it's better then nothing. Also, I promise this weekend that I'll have the sounds section up. If not this weekend, then the next. Wednesday, September 6th New Dragon Ball Z Episodes Review After viewing the new Dragon Ball Z episodes, there are a few good sides and down sides to the dubbing. (God damn it, I actually had to watch dubbed Dragon Ball Z) First the good, the dubbing is slightly better then when FUNimation did the Furiza Saga/Namek Saga. Next, the music has a little better then the Garlic Jr. Saga, but original music would be good. Third, censorship of the words "die" and "kill" have been removed. We actually get to hear those words in the series. Now the bad, the VA's could use a little work. Kuririn's voice isn't all that great. Why does Kuririn say the word "bro" so many damn times? King Cold's voice sounds like some 15th or 16th century Roman King and that really bothers me. Aside from the dubbing, the new series isn't all too bad. It could use some work but I'm happy to see that FUNimation is actually improving. If only they would keep original music on the series. I'm not saying that I hate FUNimation, I just think that they can do better in delivering us better Dragon Ball Z episodes. However, I'm not the person to make that choice. Small Updates I've fixed small errors and mispellings around the site. Many of the pages had missing letters and incorrect grammar and the such. I've also updated the links section. I've added a few more websites and added a whole new look to the section. If I'm home this weekend, then the music and sounds sections will be up. If not, then they'll be up by next weeked. That's a garuntee. Tuesday, September 5th Slight Delay I'm currently way too busy with school work at the moment. I simply don't have time to be doing any major updating to my website. I'll post up the music section at a later date along with the FAQ section. Before posting up the pages, I'll tell everyone ahead of time. Sunday, September 3rd Gundam Figures Shipped to US and Europe The Toy Company, TMZ, are importing die-cast Gundam Wing figurines to the United States and Europe. The figurines stand about four or five inches tall. Each comes with a weapon of some sort and articulation. |
