Welcome to Gundam Plus II, the successor to the original Gundam Plus site.

Ok, a quick Friday update to also show that this page isn't bs and that I intend to keep it going. First off, I've changed the set up and page format a bit as people were having issues with the screen width. I apologize for the problems this may have caused. In the process of fixing this issuse I opted to remove the "upcoming dvd" area because it just didn't look right to me in the new format. I'll probably bring this feature or adapt it in some other way at some point in the future.
Secondly, the forum is up and running and we've got good dsicussions going in it. If you haven't yet, feel free to head over and take a look. Also, it should be noted there is an error page that comes up when you join but it doesn't mean anything since you still join the forum despite the page. I'm still going over the server logs to see and find where this probelm could be. Sorry for the inconvenience this may be causing. Also, there is a banner contest currently underway in the arts and fanfiction section. Check it out if you're interested in entering or just curious as to what the prize is for winning this contest.
Finally for today, just a reminder to our Canadian visitors (and those who get the station) that in case you are unaware YTV is now showing Gundam Seed Destiny on Friday nights at 9:30pm Eastern with a repeat at 11:30pm eastern. As always with these things, check your local listings for the time in your area. If you're just coming into it then you haven't missed much as Episode 3 is due to be aired tonight. When you're done, why not hit the forum to discuss it with other fans and watchers of the show.
Have a safe and happy weekend everyone!
ps - should be another update over the weekend since I've started working on all the tv and movie pages.

No, you're not seeing things. Gundam Plus is back, well sorta. Here's the story:
After Vile was forced to shut down the original site and forum (due to a server hack and incompent hosting) I began to look around for a new site that was similar to the orignal and didn't see anything that was serving to all things Gundam like Gundam Plus did during its time.
There are plenty of sites out there but most are either geared to be specifically Seed oriented or are mostly aimed at the Universal Century fan in nature. Nothing for the fan who like the shows, characters and mecha from a variety of the Gundam series.
At this point is when I began to toy with the idea of setting up a website in the same image of Gundam Plus myself. A quick chat with Vile, where I got his blessing to use the name and the site idea, and a bit of work over a free weekend and here we are.
Now, if youj haven't noticed the site is by no means completed or even at what I would say 100%. In fact, the majority of the content from Gundam Plus was lost forever so I'm bascially starting from scratch. This is where you come in - I need people who are willing to contribute epsiode reviews, model reviews, MSIA/action figure reviews, pics, timelines, etc. Pretty much anything and everything in order to start rebuilding the database that Vile had going on the original site.
If you're interested then feel free to either email me or drop by the forum and show us what you've got in the submission area.
