[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 a detailed list, not even Japanese sites (plus the Japanese wiki has spelling errors, hah!). I’ll eventually have profiles up for the series mecha and characters. I really like this story for some reason. It has interesting backstory and the overall plot isn’t that bad. :D

GUNDAM [SKOLL] PROFILE

I’ve created a profile page for the latest mecha installment in the Traitor to Destiny series. You can view it here.

CROSSBONE GUNDAM GHOST

I’ve translated the mecha exposition from the first Crossbone Gundam Ghost volume and have formulated it into a profile for this unit. You can check out the addition here. I’ll have other profiles up shortly.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HIGH-STREAMER: 1 [CH.01-01]

2012.08.22 — CHAPTER.01 PT.03 IS NOW UP!

Seeing that I was off work for three days with strep throat, I didn’t have much to do so I sat around reading a bunch of Gundam novels and what not. I started with the 08th MS Team, got bored with it and picked up High-Streamer again. I had a bunch of notes sprinkled throughout the first volume so I decided to pick up my pen and paper and start a rough translation. The chapter is divided up into five parts, so I’m presenting the first part to you today. Since all the chapters are broken up like this it makes it much easier to translate. It doesn’t seem as daunting. I think if I do one section a day I can get pretty far without getting burned out. Huzzah! Below is a summary of the first volume.

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HIGH-STREAMER:1
AMURO EDITION

Written by Yoshiyuki Tomino

The hero of the Earth Federation Forces: Amuro Ray. As a member of the new task force Londo Bell, he was heading to the refugee colony of “Sweetwater” for an investigation. There, where many of the citizens harbor animosity towards the Earth Federation government, Amuro meets Alena, a young woman who supports the uprising movements. Immediately thereafter, a black unit of unknown origins attacks the space cruiser Ra Zym that Amuro and the others are on. Here, Amuro becomes aware of one man’s intent to attack the Earth under the Neo Zeon–an enemy joined by fate: Char.

Many Thanks

Zeonic is victorious! Huzzah! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming :D

 

The IFPI Filed a Claim…

So, I logged into my e-mail today and see this:

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 file named [ZeonicScanlations]_New_Mobile_War_Report_Gundam_W_Endless_Waltz_The_Glory_of_Losers_[Volume03].zip is identified by the key (bdouzc2cl32m5ce).

As a result of this notice, pursuant to Section 512(c)(1)(C) of the DMCA, we have suspended access to the file.

The reason for suspension was:

Now that’s rather hilarious since the IFPI deals with the record industry and that file, obviously, has nothing to do with recorded media. So, here is my response:

The IFPI, or International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, deals with the recording industry. The file called into question has absolutely nothing to do with the aforementioned organizations functions. A simple review of the file will show that it is a compressed file of JPEG images which are not even remotely related in any way to the recording industry. Therefore, I request that the file in question be reinstated and the matter addressed with the accusing party accordingly.
