Welcome to Gundam Plus II, the successor to the original Gundam Plus site.
News Archives- April 2007

A small update in that I fixed the linking errors in EZero8's Franken Armory. While I was at it I also added some more of his designs. I also added a review I did of the HGUC Rick Dias model kit.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone!

Wow, Another update a week later. You'd think I was running a website on a regular basis or something? ;)
Ok, all kidding aside I really have something to say now. First off, check out the new banner we've got made by Jericho on the forum. Great stuff and congrats to him for winning the contest and thanks to him and everyone else who entered. One can easily say it's 100% better than the crappy one I made when I started this forum. Perhaps we'll make this a yearly thing. Here's a look at what some of the other entries looked like.
Secondly, Jericho has also hit us up with his review and summary of the first ep of Gundam 0083. Give it a read when you get a chance and when you done, check out EZero8's review of the Ps3 game Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. In case you haven't noticed, we've been lacking in the review and reviewer area here. Doesn't help when people promise to help you out then drop off the face of the earth after you post a link to their site but I digress. We still have plenty of things we can use help on so why not head over to here and show us what you got.
EZero8 has also been kind enough to grant us a look at some of his "franken"/custom mobile suit designs. You find his "Armory" of his designs right here. Of course, more will be added as time goes along and he makes them and I add his current/previous designs. Got your own designs you'd like added to the site? Why not head over to the forum and share what you got so they can be added to the site.
Also, give the Gunota site a look as they got news on a new Gundam game for the Nintendo Wii and Information about "Gundam Unicorn". Looks like I'll have to be adding a section for Unicorn sooner rather than later.
In any case, that's it for now so as always have a safe and fun weekend everyone.

Not a big update today but quite a few things to go over before the weekend starts. I may try to sneak in the rest of the show pages but Command and Conquer 3 is very addicting. ;)
First and foremost - Our condolences to all the families, friends and students and faculty of Virginia Tech from the staff of Gundam Plus and the members of our forum. There's nothing I can really say that hasn't been said else where already. We have a thread over on the forum where people are discussing it and their feelings about what happened. Feel free to stop by and join in the conversation if you have something to say.
Secondly - Last weekend Nashville had their anime convention, the Middle Tennessee Anime Convention(MTAC), and there was a Gundam panel there on Sunday. Sadly, the person who I was going to get a report from about it couldn't make it. If anyone was there and went to this panel I'd love to hear from you and what was discussed at the panel.
Thirdly - after some requests on the forum I've started an image gallery here on the site. You'll see it on the sidebar called "The G.I.G." which is short for "Gundam Image Gallery". there's nothing in there yet as I just finsihed it today but it'll probably get updated very quickly, especially if those who do the custom MS designs start adding stuff.
Fourthly - This is mostly for those who are watching Gundam SEED Destiny on YTV. According to Zannen, Canada episode 5 of Gundam SEED Destiny had a scene edited out. It's the one where Talia was waking up from Durandel's bedside, wearing a sheet, and answering the phone and you got a look at her backside. Personally I'm not really surpised at this given YTV's nature towards all things anime that isn't Inuyasha. To be honest, I bet no one who haven't seen it when it originally came out noticed it not being there.
Finally - the forum issue that's plagued us from the start is still there. From what I've managed to figure out, it's on the server side so I'm hoping that it can be fixed very shortly. As I've said befoe, you can still join up with no issues but you just get that weird message. Also, you do not need to wait for the confirmation email since I turned that off. Just sign up and you're able to start posting right away. Easy as that.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Update time. I know, I was suppose to have this done a few weeks ago but didn't. My excuse? Well, going back to school this past year means that most of my time is now devoted to that. Add to that I had to go away and deal with some family affairs and you get the picture. In reality, I had this ready to go last Sunday but with that being April Fool's Day I didn't want folks to think it was all a joke. Trust me, next year I'll have a prank ready to go. ;)
In anycase, enough of that and let's talk about what's new here: All the show and movies pages (minus SD, Igloo and Evolve) are now up and waiting for the episode review/summaries to be added. Also added a link to the links section to the Titans Test Team arc as they've offered to supply us with reviews in exchange for a link. Hopefully now that this is done we'll start seeing the reviews roll in.
The forum issue is still there but you're still able to join and I'm just waiting to find out if it's a server side issue or a forum issue itself. Hopefully I'll have an answer sooner rather that later so feel free to stop by and join in on the fun at the forum.
that's it. Have a safe and happy Easter weekend to those who celebrate it.
