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 craved: Gundam Sentinel and Crossbone Gundam. What followed would be the biggest emo and drama-fest I’ve ever seen in my entire life on the net. Sadly, part of that still continues to this day. Nonetheless, it’s a time to celebrate!
I honestly thought I’d be done with this a couple years ago when I graduated college. I’d wipe my hands clean of things and then do my own thing. Yeah, that didn’t happen. Fans continued to bitch about unfinished projects, I felt guilty about not finishing them and so here I am today still chugging away for all of eternity because no one else wants to or they can’t translate properly. I still have many big things planned in my head that I’d love to one day give to the fans, I just hope that one day they can be realized (Gundam 0083 dramas and the G-Saviour ones being one of those dreams).
Nonetheless, I still continue along my path of Gundam fandom translating and critiquing. I never imagined that I’d start my own database to compete with the Gundam Wiki simply because people made too many things up. I still have the goal in my head to start my own Gundam Project/Gundam.com type of site. Maybe one day when I finish the site redesign we’ll be there and be an even more formidable force for the Gundam community.
Anyways, that’s all I had to say. To the many friends I’ve made over the years, thank you for your help! To the staff that tirelessly worked on my projects: I’m still indebted. To the fans who continue to donate to see these projects come to light: you are what keep me going. Don’t ever give up. Without you I don’t even bother.
Thank you all. Let’s see how much longer I can keep the light burning.
