[MONTHLY] F90 CLUSTER (Chapter.03)

I will be driving out of state for the weekend, so I'm not sure if I'll get Moon Gundam and Blue Destiny wrapped up in time (let's see what free time I have at work tonight!). There's no Vanadis this month, sadly.

[NARRATIVE] Vol.06 Ch.21

Continuing on with more backlog clearing! I've also attached the last three volumes to this post for convenience.

[BLUE DESTINY] Vol.04 Stage.19

[BLUE DESTINY] Vol.04 Stage.18

Two more and that's a wrap for volume 04!

[BLUE DESTINY] Vol.04 Stage.17

[BLUE DESTINY] Vol.04 Stage.16

[BLUE DESTINY] Vol.04 Stage.16

With Rise from the Ashes out of the way, it's time to dive back into one of the other backlogged projects: Blue Destiny! I've added the previous volumes to this post for those interested! Gosh, it's so embarrassing that volume one was released seven years ago.

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Complete

If you're looking for the previous posts on this series, they've been deleted, and a master post has been created in their place! I don't think anyone wants to be chasing down chapters, so this works better now that the project is wrapped up.

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.4 Ch.21

Only thirty more pages, and that'll be a wrap for this! I'll see you all in three months for that. Just kidding! At some point in the distant future I may visit the novelization for those who are interested, but I feel like this should serve as a suitable replacement since it's nearly a 1:1 of the story (save for Pio and Dr. Olivia, who weren't in the novel/game).

[EXCLUSIVE] Blue Destiny Novella.01

Since Ashes will be wrapping up in the very near future, it'll be time to dip my toes back into playing catch-up with Blue Destiny. In my quest to provide often overlooked/unknown lore, today I will introduce one of the three novellas from the Technical Guidebooks released back in the late 90s under Kodansha's Haoh Game Special 69 "Mobile Suit Gundam Sidestory I: The Blue Terror Technical Guidebook." The first installment is titled "Genealogy of the Blue Reaper."

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.4 Ch.20

The final countdown to the end begins!

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.4 Ch.19

I just couldn't wait until tomorrow.

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.4 Ch.18

We're a third of the way through the final volume!

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.4 Ch.17

Onward to the finish line!

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.3 Ch.16 (Complete)

And that's a wrap! The final chapter and a compilation volume for those interested. Onward to finish this series with volume four! Then... Blue Destiny and Ghost.

[RISE FROM THE ASHES] Vol.3 Ch.15

One more, and that's a wrap for Vol.3! Phew, there was way too much text in this chapter. Guess he was really trying to use every scrap of dialogue from the novel!

[EXCLUSIVE] Gundam UC Initial Proposal: Moon Gundam

For those unaware, when the idea to have a novel serialized in Gundam Ace was initially being kicked around, it was pitched as Moon Gundam. But, the decision to go another route prevailed, and the idea was scrapped. This idea would later be dusted off and tweaked into the "Moon Gundam" manga version that we have today (although that, too, has vast differences!).

Anywho, back to toiling over manga. I would've had more Rise from the Ashes out today, but the chapter I'm working on has jus...

[HI-STREAMER] Volume.03 (COMPLETE)

First, I've updated volume two with missing artwork, erroneous character names, and various other small edits, so grab those to replace any previous version. Second, the finale for Hi-Streamer is here! I've included Tomino's original afterword from the initial run of the novels along with his interview from the reprints.

In light of there being no other Tomino novels to focus on (Zeta and Victory are handled by others), I'll be pivoting back to focusing on more manga moving forward. L...

[EXCLUSIVE] Endless Waltz Vol.01

Since I'll be wrapping up Hi-Streamer here shortly this week, the next jaunt will be into the bananas territory that is Frozen Teardrop. Since I've basically been sitting on the translations for the series since it debuted back in 2011, it won't be that hard to put out a volume a month for at least 2/3 of the series. But, before that, there's a little backstory that carries over from the previous novelization, and that is Endless Waltz.

This is a passion project since Gundam Wing was a...

We're back to a lengthier chapter this month! Interesting turn of events with things. A bit ironic that Shijima is preaching to the choir about human experimentation in this particular instance, all things considered. At any rate, chugging along with more!

[MOON GUNDAM] episode 66

Well, that's weird. Patreon's search feature is dorked up. Goodie! Anywho, we're back after a mini hiatus from Gundam Ace! This month's chapter is a quickie! Char's rolling out all sorts of rustbucket suits to take on the Feddie team!

[ONE-SHOT] Frozen Teardrop: Final Movement of Silence

Last year there was a manga adaptation of the "epilogue" that only showed up in the Sakura Asagi artbook for Frozen Teardrop. Whether anyone wants to consider this a true finale for that entry into the Wing-verse is up to them. Either way, it's out there for everyone.

[EXCLUSIVE] Gundam Sentinel 0079 (Part.01)

The groundbreaking Original Video Animation Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket offered us a fresh lens through which to view the legendary One Year War. Yet, this perspective, as innovative as it was, is but a single facet of the multifaceted conflict that shaped the Universal Century. The One Year War, embodied in the original Gundam series, has long been elevated to near-mythical status, becoming an object of fervent devotion among fans.

However,...

[WEARWOLF] case-12 Gallows for Whom

Your guess is as good as mine for this one! For whatever reason, the chapter number skips from 10 to 12 from the June to July issue of Gundam Ace. I'm guessing it'll be corrected in the compilation. Anywho, finally chugging along with more replacements from the stolen laptop collection!

[ESSAY SERIES] - Char's Counterattack Era

As I prepare to wrap up Hi-Streamer, I figured I'd dust off some of the coverage of Char's Counterattack over the years from a few of the various magazines. Diving into the wellspring of Great Mechanics from 2003, we have a couple of deep dives into the era of Char's Counterattack. Yes, astute readers will observe that the essay posits that the Nu and Sazabi are the pinnacle/finale of Newtype-specific mobile suits, but this was penned well before Unicorn was even a blip on the radar.

[ARTBOOK] Gundam Hathaway Mechanics and World Pt.1

I promised big things this year, so I'm here to deliver on part of that promise. Being that my goal has been to clear up as much misinformation as possible, I dive into a lot of the interviews and whatnot. I typically try to stay up to date on them whenever they're published, but I have a bad habit of getting distracted from time to time. At any rate, since I finally finished up ALL the interviews in the Mechanics and World book published for the first Hathaway film ...

We're at the halfway point of the novel! I've also went back and made further modifications to volume two of the novel based on changes that happened here in volume three.

In today's installment, we dive into some of the original names and designs for the characters!

[HI-STREAMER] Vol.3 Ch.T-V

Only three more chapters, and this series will be wrapped up next month! Again we pretty much have a straight adaptation of the film here, save for some expanded dialogue and tweaks to scenes. All in all a bit better version.
