ABOUT

Zeonic|Scanlations launched back in the summer of 2003 (as Zeonic-Corps) with the lofty goal of translating the Gundam Sentinel novel before eventually stumbling down a path of manga translation starting with Crossbone Gundam!

I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that the group has a storied past. There’s a reason why I have kept the tongue-in-cheek blurb in the footer of “Emoing out since 2004!” Ah, yes, the days of being a fledgling group trying to drum up support only to devolve into some big emo drama-fest shit that I shake my head over to this day. Of course, the emo rants/closings/”dropped” projects/spats have mostly faded from memory now, but some logs still remain, and boy do they bring a chuckle.

The fond memories of IRC and my early college years of screwing around online instead of heading to class. Staff that worked tirelessly (did they?) to see so many projects brought to light over those formative years. That was also when I earned the wonderful ire of a slew of spiteful assholes for taking on entirely too many projects (I’ll admit, that’s always been bad) and taking forever to release stuff. Those who bitch about free material not being released fast enough never cease to amaze me. Much of that still continues to this day, hilariously enough. As I update this in 2022, a lot has changed. Pumping out a huge backlog of releases has been pretty cathartic, honestly. But, that too hasn’t been without its share of hilariously lame attempts at drama. Yup. I’m still the asshole, apparently.

My mission and goal have always been to continue spreading a love for all things Gundam with accurate translations of manga, novels, and other reference materials (along with cited documentation!). I do this all in my spare time, which is why I ask for a few spare hytes and cools tossed my way to keep the lights on. For those that commission me for certain projects, I’m grateful for your trust in my abilities and my commitment to you of quality you’ve come to trust over the years. I’d like to think I’ve gotten better as time goes on!
