Um... yeah, about this chapter... I have no idea what GAINAX was smoking for the plot, but uh... yeah Char's doing something in the darkness there. The final installment (HELL DIVERS) goes in a completely different direction yet again. Such an odd little entry...

So this is totally outside my typical wheelhouse on so many levels, but given that the suit that appears in the latest installment of Cluster, I figured there'd be questions! So, what better way to answer questions than the source material! Anywho, included here are the OP/ED manga and the RPG play scenario for this particular post-OYW story. I suppose I should look up the rules in case anyone actually wants to play this, but I think the "GM" material speaks for itself to fill in some blanks ...

No monthly mobile in this month's chapter, so here's to hoping we have more whacky background lore next time. Sorry this took so long, getting a covid booster and flu shot all in one go really kicked my arse again this year.

This month, we've got the second part of chapter three! I've made a change to the Assemblyman's name. Yeah, Zeta nod, I know. Volume.01 drops on October 23rd, so expect the compilation for that with full corrections. Onward to the rest of this month's titles!

A bit of juggling in this version. episode EX ends up becoming chapter ten and the previously serialized chapters end up shifting forward. With that, we're all caught up on this series. New chapter should be out at the end of the week when Gundam Ace drops.

Volume.03 dropped today, so I'm working on getting that compilation put together. So in the meantime, here's the long-overdue compilation for volume two! Nothing major to report in terms of changes, unless you want to count the one chapter title being altered from the serialization.

Much like last year's dive into G Gundam, here's this year's coverage of Wing's anniversary from the current quarterly issue of Great Mechanics G! As for the mysterious draft mentioned in this, I'll dust that off and upload it for everyone so they can see how they initially "lied" during the presentation pitch!

And with that, the Twilight Axis manga is now complete. Two volumes in roughly two weeks ain't too shabby, so hopefully everyone will enjoy it! Remember, if you want the novel, you can snag that over on the blog. Now it's onto the commission project, so stay tuned!

As I work on wrapping up the first half of Twilight Axis Vol.03, here's a bit more backstory to Tomino's reverence for Fukui. This book was originally published in June 1999, so some of the comments, such as Tomino's "filling the Internet," may seem a bit dated; please keep that in mind. Included at the end is the prologue for Fukui's famous novel, Twelve Years Old, which will likely be tackled in its entirety at some point in the future for those interested...

Only one translation note in this. You will notice one of the twins saying "enhanced human" in this as opposed to "Cyber Newtype." Given the context of when he's saying it, it makes a smidge more sense versus the usual term. Also included at the end is the interview with the creatives and manga artist! Onward to the final volume!

The final drop of the month is an extensive interview between Fukui and Tomino discussing the state of the world in 2004. We don't often hear creatives talk politics, so this is somewhat of a unique perspective from the two of them. I'm probably going to have to keep this trapped on here because lord knows some of the nuts will likely run wild with the comments (and why it's so hard to translate political opinions sometimes), but I figured you all would enjoy it. It's quite an odd segue into ...

And I've belatedly realized I screwed up a name in previous volumes. Damn you, Sumizawa! *shakes fist There are too many Catherine variations! I only have the last two volumes to translate, so next month will be the last of what I had translated up to this point. I think I fixed most of my old spelling errors and whatnot, but I have a feeling some slip through. Anywho, action packed chapter, so enjoy!

Kicking off the celebration of Gundam Wing's 30th Anniversary is a new interlude manga from the pages of Gundam Ace. Some may recall this was revealed at San Diego Comic Con last month, but the translation was less than stellar. I still can't figure out if it's MTL or just someone that had zero context on the show/terminology. At any rate, something more "proper" for the fandom.
There's a special booklet that came with this month's Gundam Ace, so I'll tackle that soon.

While interviews and discussions are typically tossed up on my website, this particularly lengthy talk between these two warrants a drop here first. Given a bunch of the talk on Newtypes and issues with GQuuuuuuX as of late, I thought it would be neat to throw out some of the original staffs comments on it from back in 2009.

Today's drop is a translation of the fanzine published initially in 1993 by Hideaki Anno. In it are essays and interviews that analyze and summarize Char's Counterattack. The book is a pet project of Anno's as a sort of "response" to the lackluster (or, honestly, radio silence) commentary on the film after its debut back in 1989. Most have probably seen the "infamous" Tomino interview deceptively quoted out of context, so hopefully, having the full scope of things will serve folks better (and...

Okay, this has been shelved for way too long, and it's time to wrap this dang volume up and get to the next manga commission! Yes, this is a break from the usual chunk of 5 for this final volume, but I just wanted to let everyone know it's not forgotten and the next round of four will be up!

Today's update brings the remainder of the 08th MS Team's second volume, which concludes with that infamous plot point involving Kiki. Forgive me if I am going to rant here, but I'm going to spoil a few things for the sake of an explanation here. I apologize for what may seem like a rant.
Ichiro Okouchi’s novelization presents content that is quite startling to fans of the anime, many of whom write it off without so much as batting an eye. But, much like the original trilogy ...

It's time to drop this down from the top-tier offering! With that, I went through and rechecked and tweaked some of the previously stupid mistakes I made throughout it, so for you higher-ups that nabbed it before, please update your version. Expect the second volume a little bit later on. I think I found all my dumb mistakes.
