Almost done updating my First Gundam production history! I've overhauled the chunk covering eps 22-36, in which Director Tomino takes charge of the plot and begins ghost-designing all the mecha. I've also added lots more design sketches and production art. www.gundamunofficial.com/production/f...

I'd like to announce that I served as a translator on Super Robot Wars Y. This series has been a longtime favorite of mine, and it was a dream of mine for many years to work on it. I'm beyond honored to have had this opportunity to work on one of them with such a fantastic localization team.

Aaaand they're gone. I've opened up a limited number of backorders, since it seems we have a window to get more.

TBH I don’t really know all the details. All I know is, something happened in Japan and so the title is being withdrawn.

Word is out, Gunbuster is leaving the Discotek catalog and likely bound for licensing hell. Still some copies at the MediaOCD Store, so get it while you can! www.mediaocd.com/product-page...

Kōzō Ōmori's Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative manga adaptation ended on Tuesday

Now that it's out, time for the usual. I was the team lead for Super Robot Wars Y! I oversaw the translators and editors, and I handled final review passes. I think this game's writing is something special, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Gunbuster OVA Series Blu-ray is going out of print www.discotekmedia.com/catalog.htm BD is still available for now: - www.amazon.com/dp/B0BSMSLR2R - store.crunchyroll.com/products/gun... - www.mediaocd.com/product-page...

Very proud to announce that I was an editor on Super Robot Wars Y. Plot- and dialogue-wise, it's a very cool game, and the localization team did a great job at handling the text for it. Hopefully everybody enjoys it—I know I'm looking forward to the parts I both did and didn't work on.

Super Robot Wars Y improves a lot of SRW 30's narrative shortcomings and its story is its strongest aspect. Our initial thoughts and impressions after 40 hours: https://www.rpgsite.net/feature/18273-super-robot-wars-y-improves-lot-srw-30s-narrative-shortcomings-its-story-its-strongest-aspect
