@allison13:

Amazon Japan *sees dollar signs*

@Elo:

Probably in July. I don't get the shipment until Volume 3 of FT is released (and Ace). Plus, there haven't been any scans so I can't complete the "Miracle Worker" arc anyways.

So why do people fight, anyway?
Perhaps the meaning of existence lies within their will to fight.
People feel a sense of accomplishment through battle.
And it’s also a fact that the ones actually fighting are never perceived as being tainted.

Okay...

I remember Peacecraft said she'd scan the last issue. I'm not sure if she ever actually did though.

I think peacecraft said she was planning to PM it around when she did, so.. I guess we'll see.

@Deacon How much did they quote for the shipping from Amazon.jp?

I decided to try to special order the 3rd volume from Fujisan...if it works out, it looks like it'll be a fairly decent price. Amazon.jp is something ridiculous for shipping. I think it's $20 something an item for international shipping.

And after the exchange rate...ouch. But that shipping still isn't as bad as I thought, I thought it was like 2900 yen per item.

There are more pressing issues to worry about then that.

First, Yoshiyuki Tomino does not consider Gundam Ace canon. Canon is not even a Japanese word. Even if he did consider it official, his word means nothing. Sunrise has more or less mandated that if it isn't animated (a la series, movie or OVA), then it isn't official. There are varying degrees of "gray" that manga and games fall in, but for the most part they aren't recognized as official.

Second, Newtype and Gundam ACE are two separate publications. Ngee Khiong mislabeled the Gundam Wing pages as coming from Newtype when they are from Gundam Ace.
My original post on a very rude Gundam wiki website: "Why do they always have to do this: a show or movie is really great and wraps up nicely and then they try and capitalize on it by adding on and continuing! Why couldn't they just leave it alone? "Wing" was perfect the way it was. I was happy imagining how things would progress for the characters with the safety net of knowledge that it was just a fan's musing and not a fact! It's not only because I don't like the plot (indeed, I've read better ones in fanfics) it's just the idea that they feel the need to expand on the story when it was perfect just the way it was! The "Wing" plot is a lot like make-up on a woman: less is more! I was hoping and praying that this abomination, this, aberration was nothing but an adaptation of the main story or one of those "inspired by a true story" deals (not literally since "Wing" is fiction) or at least one of those situations where an anime is based on a manga/novel or, as sometimes happens, a manga/novel based on an anime so that it would be a retelling of the story from a different perspective instead of fact. Alas, I feel that my hopes have been dashed across the rocks, the cup taken from my lips, and everything else that insipidly sums up my shattered visions of the glory of "Wing". However, if anyone can offer me a faint Charmander flame of hope that this story is but an illusion, please come forth and say your piece to restore my peace of mind."
As you can see I was melodramatically distraught with the idea of a "follow up" story (especially because I knew they would used the hackneyed plot device of a character's offspring taking center stage. . . genetic futures never turn out as cool as their parents). I cringed at the idea that this was official: I was literally in a daze for. . . days about this possibility. You have since been my saviour and restored me to peace of mind to know that only animation is official despite what the creator feels.
Not to question your integrity or sound redundent but how did you find out the information about Sunrise's diction over what's official? Is it stated somewhere on their website or in an interview? If this is true than I wonder if the creator is basing the novel off of the manga/novel (I don't know which form it is) adaptation of "Endless Waltz"? It would make more sense than basing it off the movie, and would furter distance it from the "official" aspects of the animation which is already cool on it's own.

Oh. You're back.

Ha! It's hardly based on the show and whatever was, Sumizawa has already retconned more than enough for it not to matter. Frozen Teardrop is like a parallel universe of AC, not a continuation; essentially it's GW on Mars. Only without the GW feel to it.

If it bothers you, treat it as Star Wars fans treated the new movies: pretend it doesn't exist. It makes life easier.
If they really were serious about reviving the AC universe, I would start by animating Episode Zero. I'm sure that is something pretty much every GW fan would want to see.

Thanks. I remember reading someone getting their head blown off in a past chapter summary.

As for the melodrama, I thought people had come to terms with what FT was. Guess not...

*shrug* By the way, a random observation. Treize was seventeen when he fathered Mariemaia, yes?

EDIT: I don't get this math. Mars terraforming started at the end of EW, didnt' it? And if a Mars year is double an earth year, that would mean 44 years have passed. So, the pilots in FT are 60???

The terraforming project took 22 years, right? It depends on what standard they're going by. If it's Earth years, then they'd be ~60; if they're using Mars' orbit as the standard, then they'd only be in their 40s...
