🤪😢The entire series is finally translated. It's been one hell of a ride.

The cover for Sakura Asagi's new artwork book has been unveiled. While technically a reprint of the older book, this one has new artwork included in it. It goes on sale at the end of December, barring Kadokawa's recent horrendous delays of certain books as of late.

How I feel tallying up all the news suits Sumizawa drops in the final volume of Teardrop.

As I wrap up the final edits to Frozen Teardrop, it's astonishing how quickly a decade has passed since the final volume was released. It has definitely been a wild and crazy ride with this series. For better or worse, the fandom can enjoy it in all its glory (of losers).

The duality of a dog 😂 She is not happy about wearing a muzzle for potty breaks now. Someone just can't stop eating rocks and getting upset tummy and vet visits 😬

Checking out Crusher Joe for the first time. Rather enjoying it. A shame there isn't much in terms of anime. Novels are pretty decent to read, too.

Who snuck the Gundam into the background?! Is this a secret G-Saviour nod? 😂 Earth Dreams baseball team in soundcinema 03? The official MLB twitter account posted this... lol

You mean you don't summon your Gundam with virgin blood and a transmutation circle? Happy Halloween, y'all! From the Darkness manga is live on Patreon, so expect it on Dex soon.

Researching and working on random entries as always, I had forgotten that before the monstrosities in Gundam Eight, we had this premise in an old 1992 one-shot. 😅

I have a project, but I need help. Does anyone know of a timer that would be willing to assist with subtitle timing? I'm even willing to compensate someone if they're willing and able to.

I like how the new Wing manga won't make a lick of sense unless you're familiar with Frozen Teardrop 😂

Always good to see Kai referenced in later works.

Gundam Eight's latest mechanical reveal!

Silver Phantom Gravure #01 is done, and now it's onto Photoshopping!

Now I'm going to be wondering who designed what because we have three designers credited for "creature design" in volume one: Ryuu Oyama, Kyoshi Takigawa, and Eiji Koyama (magma studio). Eight Nakamura is also credited for mechanical design.

Given the recent news, this was the first thing that popped in my head 😂

I see P-Bandai has the MG Mk-V and EX-S available for purchase. Would anyone recommend these kits? I rather like getting at least one kit from a series I've translated and can't decide between the two...

Babe, wake up. I finally found a house that has an office space big enough for my Gundam book collection 🤣

The DVDs sure, uh... have some unique updated artwork!

The trilogy is complete. Phew. My goal of translating all novels continues! Funny thing about the artwork: Aina's bullet wound doesn't match the novel text and the final shot of her and Shiro show him with two legs but he's missing one come the epilogue lol. Makes no sense.

Finally scored the cursed Remaster boxes... 🤣

New details from the preview of this months Gundam Ace indicate it's going to be a new interpretation of the VR anime.

Huh, given that production on Hathaway started in 2016, I guess five years per film really isn't that much of a stretch 🤣 See you in 2031 for the finale?

Anyone go to NYCC and sit for the Gundam panel? Curious what Ogata said.

Because the issue of lighting is coming up again with regard to the first film, here's some helpful behind-the-scenes talk about it from the Mechanic & World book I translated. I think people forget you can't see in a blackout. Throw in smoke/dust, and that amplifies things.

The most important character in the second Hathaway film.

The second Hathaway film comes out January 30, 2026!

As the months tick by, Bandai's continued failure to figure out how to market/crack the English fandom only continues to worsen, and that has become even more glaring with the disastrous new website. Either they're just "launching as is" and going back and fixing, or they really just don't care.

There's no G-Saviour mentioned on the new official site. 🤬 It's time to stage a revolution. Who is with me?! 🤣

Another thing I don't understand about Bandai's P-Bandai offering is why they offer JPN acrylics of the logos but they don't do the same for the English? If they actually designed better English logo versions, I think they'd be a neat alternative, but most of those are, sadly, kinda cringe 😬 why 😭

I see Bandai is rolling out another clunky website doomed to never be consistently updated? That watch now section is gonna be wild when fans start asking why most titles aren't available 😅 en.gundam-official.com

Do I have any Brazilian followers? O Tubarão Martelo is getting a bit of representation at our Balloon Fiesta this year!

I know I'm splitting hairs, but when you can't even print a cover straight, why are we supposed to want to buy this? So tired of Gundam getting shit quality releases here.

I think out of all the things people have said about Fukui, Tomino sorta hits the nail on the head when it comes to a lot of his "detractors" out there. This is part of his essay from the book HOW TO BUILD Harutoshi Fukui that I've been translating to provide background on the man.

Dame Jane Goodall has passed away at 91. 😢 "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make."

Huh... Iwasawa pretty much confirms that those aren't the suits from Frozen Teardrop in the Gundam Fan Club interview and are, in fact, separate, new models. Wheeee~ no one is going to believe/accept that one. It's just Katoki being Katoki, yet again.

Stepping outside my typical wheelhouse, I've translated the RPG featuring the mysterious Karyovyn that appeared in the latest chapter of Cluster. Not sure how to offer this to everyone as it's a hybrid manga/RPG guidelines, but it'll be off Patreon in the future. Expect The Legacy of M'Quve soon!

Oh, wow... Cluster is once again digging DEEP into the obscure for mobile suits. The suit on the bottom left is the Karyovyn from the tabletop RPG story featured in RPG Magazine Vol.3, specifically the story "The Legacy of M'Quve"
