Gundam Thunderbolt has been a hot button issue in terms of where it fits into the Gundam “canon.” Not that the term canon exists in Japanese anyways (as I’ll point out below) but don’t tell that to fans. Then again, the Japanese side doesn’t seem to be too concerned for this either (nor have they […]

All Links Down


Well, it seems that my MediaFire account was shut down simply because RightStuf says they own all things Gundam: Dear MediaFire User: MediaFire has received notification under the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) that your usage of a file is allegedly infringing on the file creator’s copyright protection. The reason for suspension […]
BANDE DESSINEE CHANGES


Bande Dessinee continues to surprise me with drawing out what happens in the novel as well as adding other things. If Yas had illustrated the manga version of Unicorn there’s no doubt that it would be far superior than the original novel. For those wondering, Gibney was killed in the novel when the Sleeves […]
Beltorchika Children Mockup

10 Years? Sweet Jesus… I need a life…


It’s hard to believe that ten years ago everything started. Ten years of memories I can still laugh at via the logs I still have for some reason. I know this past year has been rather dead for us… and I had every intention of closing up shop, but for some reason I just keep […]
A Prologue


In light of recent news surrounding the final episode of Gundam Unicorn, I thought I would take the time to dust off an old translation I started in 2012. The following is a translation of the prologue to the story as penned by Yoshiyuki Tomino. Please, enjoy this and look forward to what we have […]
[Info] Mobile Suit Gundam: Missing Link Info


Just the first part so far: EARTH FEDERATION FORCES 20th MECHANIZED COMPOSITE CORP “SLAVE WRAITH” A unit formed as a sort of private army. In exchange for erasing charges, a high ranking Federation Forces officer (a hardliner within the Revil faction) selects a series of specialists from individuals awaiting the death penalty as criminals. Their […]
[RAMBLING] – A Presentation on Translation


The recent discussion over fans (and my own) qualms about the Vertical translation/editing of Gundam the Origin has spurred me to dive back into a linguistic presentation I gave my senior year of college. Oddly (and ironically) enough, I chose to give this presentation in my senior Japanese class, so talking about translation in a […]

[ANNIVERSARY] – 9 FRAKIN YEARS!


Today not only marks the 237th year since the signing of the Declaration of Independence but also the 9th year since the founding of Zeonic|Scanlations. Except back then, we were Zeonic-Corps… that upstart struggling Gundam group that was trying to drum up support for our fledgling group by taking on two major projects that fans […]
[RENEWAL] – Server Costs


Hi all, Our server bill is due on Saturday and I won’t have enough to cover it. If we had just 8 people donate $5 a piece it would be covered. Can anyone help spare a penny or two? :D?

[STAFF] PHOTOSHOP CLEANUP


Hi all, I’m looking for some people who wouldn’t mind cleaning up the scans I have for some of the series. It’s mainly just brightness/contrast adjusting with some leveling and grayscaling and what not. I don’t need bubbles photoshopped or anything, just a general cleanup. If anyone is interested, please post here or e-mail me […]

[MANGA] THE TRAITOR TO DESTINY


A manga adaptation of the Advance of Zeta sidestory has started in the January 2013 issue of Dengeki Daioh. I picked up a copy of it, browsed through it and was very pleased to see that it is in line with the novelization. I enjoyed reading the novel and it’s off shoot, Mace of Judgment. […]
Update Mk-II


Hi all, I finally got my laptop repaired and it’s better than ever (hooray for tearing it apart and cleaning everything!). Right now my life is in complete disarray. I recently started a seasonal job with Best Buy because I was waiting for feedback from interviews and what not and I was recently called with […]
Project Update


Hi all, Just a little update of sorts in why I don’t have any of my projects out just yet. Last month I moved to Albuquerque to “restart” my life if you would. I was miserable and depressed back home in the Buffalo area, so with the convincing of friends here in the area, I […]
MEDIAFIRE ACCOUNT SUSPENDED


For some odd reason (lol Terms of Service violation), Mediafire suspended my entire account so all files are effectively offline. I’m attempting to set up something on my server to assist with this, but I’m also looking into other options for hosting and what not. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to comment […]
[UPDATE] ADVANCE OF ZETA THE TRAITOR OF DESTINY


Greetings all, I’ve painstakingly updated all of the characters and mechanics that have appeared in the “Earth Arc” of the novel series. You can find the complete listing of that here. A word of caution to our visitors: I don’t wanna see this on the Wiki. How will I tell? Simple, no one else has […]
