Char and Amuro – two rivals sharing the same vision yet eternally opposed, meet again beside a serene lake where swans glide across the water. Was this reunion mere coincidence, or were they drawn together by the lingering spirit of Lalah, whose life was claimed in their past conflict? What twisted emotions drive Char as he spirits away the young Newtype Quess from Amuro’s protection? When Amuro takes flight in his combat-ready Nu Gundam to prevent Neo Zeon’s catastrophic plan to crash the asteroid Axis into Earth, Char strikes to end their fated rivalry once and for all! An epic saga weaving together personal destinies with the future of all humankind.

Two centuries have passed since humanity began space migration, and one century since Char Aznable declared space colonies’ independence from the Earth Federation. Now, Affranchi, carrying Char’s genetic legacy, rises to lead Metatron, an organization dedicated to opposing Federation control. Meanwhile, MHA, the Federation’s ruthless manhunting unit, has begun its own military campaign to seize control of the Federation and establish Earth-centric governance. Their sacred mandate echoes through space: Earth – holy Gaia – must never again suffer pollution by human hands. Answering this call, Affranchi launches his crusade in the state-of-the-art Gaia Gear Alpha, but fate turns as his subordinate Krishna falls to MAHA’s fearsome elite, Ul Urian.

Frozen Teardrop Project Kicks Off

With translations of the Endless Waltz novelization complete, it was time to move on to Frozen Teardrop! Given that I’ve had 2/3 of the novel series translated for a decade now, I figured it was time to focus on it as a passion project. It’s really a severely misunderstood entry thanks to piecemeal information nuggets, so hopefully a proper version will sway people.  It’ll be available for the general public in the future, but for now it’s available over on Patreon or you can snag it on Ko-Fi here. Once things get going, expect a volume a month (they’re really not all that long compared to most other Gundam novels).

GAIA GEAR VOL.2

I finished this ages ago, but I’ve been going back and making tweaks based on Vol.3. Enjoy! Vol.3 chapters have been started on Patreon!

It has been two centuries since mankind sought an outlet for its burgeoning population in space. Huge man-made colonies floated around the Earth, though the hearts and minds of those living in those colonies grew further and further apart. Such were the times. One stormy night, Affranchi Char, a young boy who grew up on an island in the South Seas, hears the dying words of his elder. “You must go out into space.” The storm would lead Affranchi to a humanoid machine, where his adventure would then begin. What awaits him?!

In the chaotic aftermath of the Gryps War a group of young Earth-centric officers stage a daring rebellion on the asteroid base Pezun, challenging the fragile new order. The Earth Federation, caught between this internal strife and the looming threat of Neo Zeon, dispatches an elite task force led by advanced Gundam units to quell the uprising. What begins as a straightforward mission spirals into a complex web of shifting allegiances, unexpected betrayals, and escalating tensions that threaten to plunge the entire Earth Sphere into a new era of conflict.

In a strategic bid to market to the Federation Forces, SNRI scaled down mobile suits, resulting in the development of the Gundam F series, which was eventually adopted as the next mainstay mobile suit. Def and Sid, integrated into the military’s experimental unit, became the test pilots for the first two units of the F90 series. Amid a series of troublesome tests, the unexpected happened: mobile suit forces from the old Zeon suddenly appeared. The test units, devoid of any live armaments due to their experimental status, found themselves critically outmatched. While Sid managed a narrow escape, the second unit was inevitably captured!

Universal Century 0093. Char Aznable, once lost to the world, has risen from the shadows to revive the Neo Zeon forces. Turning a blind eye to the pleas of the space colonists, the Earth Federation government wallows in its terrestrial indolence. Char, ever audacious, wages a war against them, hatching a plan to hurl an asteroid at Earth, altering its climate, and triggering an artificial Ice Age. The consequences would not only render Earth uninhabitable but also subject countless innocent lives to brutal purging at Char’s hand! Amuro Ray, Char’s age-old rival, dares to stand against this grand design. Behold the spectacle of unparalleled proportions in the history of animated storytelling: the original narrative of “Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack” makes its triumphant debut!

In the 1990s, Japanese animation began to be recognized as an appealing cultural phenomenon by people from other countries, and the term “Japanimation” started to gain popularity overseas. Eventually, Japanese anime became known as a proud cultural export, referred to as “Cool Japan” and other similar terms. However, we, the men born in the Showa 50 era (1975-1984), have been enjoying anime long before it received such cultural recognition.
