Well, this time is an exception, because as I mentioned before, they’re holding the preliminaries for BAKUC, along with their own model contest. […]

Review: The HGUC GM

By Loran Every good science fiction or mecha series needs a good-guy cannonfodder of some sort, and of course, Gundam was no exception-heck, it pretty much gave it to the genre. The GM is pretty […]
