Back when Gundam Narrative came out in theaters, theatergoers were able to pick up a little “background” report that was penned by Kai Shiden. The article is one of the many “unknown” setting materials that tried to fill in and expand on the incidents that happened at the time. This, along with the Return of […]

[Ramblings] – 20 Minute Preview is Causing Waves!
May 8th, 2021 
deackychu The re-release of Hathaway’s Flash novels has made some modifications here and there, some minor corrections to kanji, some proofreading, and a couple of new lines. The odd downside to these has been the omission of the internal artwork. It seems, though, that some of the diehard Tomino otaku are having some grumblings over the […]

April 16th, 2021 deackychu With the Hathaway’s Flash movie coming out in the next three weeks, today marks another milestone for the Gundam community.

[Interview Notes] – Hasegawa’s Long Ass Interview Notes
April 15th, 2021 deackychu A three and a half-hour interview that translated into some 30,000 characters on paper and I’m wondering if this clears up or muddles thoughts on the Crossbone entries. Here are the notes! Crossbone Interview Notes: Shinichiro Inoue came to Hasegawa before the first issue of Shonen Ace In hand: Tomino’s draft. Hasegawa said “he’ll change […]
[Reference] – Crossbone Gundam Original Draft
April 14th, 2021 deackychu Tucked away in the back of the Crossbone Gundam Mechanical Collection book is a never seen before publicized version of the Tomino draft of Crossbone Gundam. This particular memo has many details that didn’t make it into the final manga compilation, so it’s up to the viewer to draw their own conclusions about whether Tomino’s […]
[Updates] – Hathaway’s Flash Ch.19, 20, 21
April 6th, 2021 deackychu I’ve neglected to post these updates over the past couple of weeks, so it’ll look like three chapters are available now instead of just one. Nonetheless, there’s one more chapter and this volume will be complete! It’s been a bumpy route working on this novel so far, so hopefully people are enjoying it. The final […]
[Reflections] – Tomino’s Book on G-Reco
March 30th, 2021 deackychu I’m skimming the new Tomino book about G-Reco and it makes my brain hurt. Some of this info is a bit crazy and was either omitted or incredibly vague throughout the series. Not sure if I should attempt bullet points, but here we go nonetheless: FOREWARD Tomino admits he shouldn’t be writing about a work […]
[Complete] Bande Dessinee Episode:0 Vol.03
March 21st, 2021 deackychu The train to catch up on and finish off another series has pulled into the station!

[Finale] Under the Moonlight Vol.04
March 20th, 2021 deackychu The series is finally complete. It’s been almost five years since the last volume was released, but another series is complete. Seems like 2021 may be the year I’m finally caught up? I shouldn’t get too far ahead of myself with that statement… 機動新世紀ガンダムＸ アンダー・ザ・ムーンライト４ AFTER WAR GUNDAM X UNDER THE MOONLIGHT VOL.4 PUBLICATION INFORMATION Publisher: […]
[Long Overdue] – Cyber-Newtype Story MAD WANG 1160
March 18th, 2021 deackychu Since I did make a promise to make every effort to start clearing a lot of the backlog that people seem to be grumbling about as of late, I decided to dip into a quarantine-laced boredom-infused dust off of the MAD WANG 1160 volume that hasn’t been touched in over a decade. As weird as […]
[Framework Friday] – ∀ Gundam Science (Installment.02)
March 12th, 2021 deackychu Now that I have a novelization project finished up, I’m trying to figure out how to balance my time with relatively obscure Gundam-related material. So, much like the “Translation Tuesday” posts for novel chapters, I decided on “Framework Friday” for Gundam background material. Aren’t I so clever? I guess that means there will eventually be […]
[Translation Tuesday] – Hathaway’s Flash Chapter.18
March 9th, 2021 deackychu In keeping with my weekly novel chapter postings, Chapter.18 of the first volume is now available to read. It looks as though I’ll have this first volume finished up well before the first movie premieres. There will likely be a delay of a week before the final chapter is posted as I need to seriously […]

[Investigative Journalism?] – A New View of the Universal Century
March 8th, 2021 deackychu So a rather tongue-in-cheek mook was just released in Japan called [Testimony] Mobile Suit Gundam: 100 Years of the Universal Century as seen by Bungei Shunju. Articles published in the book follow the format of the investigative reporting that the weekly news magazine Shukan Bunshun follows. I’m chuckling over some of the entries in the […]

A Sampling from Cocoon on the Moon, Fruit on the Earth
March 3rd, 2021 deackychu A great many substances are made up of nano-machines, following instructions in the programs they contain. For example, there are numerous instances of new types of nanomachines that can attach to existing nanomachines, and transform the architecture. If we had introduced a program dedicated to maintaining environmental sustainability on nanomachines, it could have been possible […]
[Data Dump] – Before ∀: Mobile Suits Buried in the Dark History
March 3rd, 2021 deackychu What started as a casual glance at the MS Evolution Chart from Mobile Suit Bible.86 ended up sending me down a rabbit hole to find more nuggets of information on relatively obscure mobile suits. So, I elected to dive into some of the suits presented in the charts. 「テストベッド∀」 機体解説 ∀ガンダム試作 性能実験テストベッド機 Testbed ∀ Unit Exposition ∀ […]
[Novelization] – Twilight Axis is Finished
March 2nd, 2021 deackychu Today marks another momentous occasion for the Gundam fandom. 68,350+ characters later (not counting character and mecha bios), the Twilight Axis novel is finally finished and available to fans in its entirety. What started as a lofty and ambitious project back in 2016 stalled out in August 2017 for almost three years, sadly. I honestly […]
