The Turn A Gundam Concert, featuring Yoko Kanno + Bonus Press Conference Translation
It’s Turn A Gundam‘s 23rd anniversary, so here’s a special article to commemorate!
When Turn A Gundam was still on-air, Yoko Kanno wanted to hold a concert to commemorate the Gundam franchise’s 20th anniversary—as part of the “Gundam Big Bang Project”. Tomino approved of the idea, and thus the concert was held on November 12, 1999 at the Tokyo International Forum. The following is an in-depth examination of the concert, along with a transcription & translation of the bonus press conference.

Atsushi Souga Turn A Gundam Manga Adaptation [COMPLETE SCANLATION]
I apologize for all the delay(s), but we’ve finally completed this project! Nearly four years of slowly grinding out translations, editing, and typesetting has come to fruition.
This 5-volume manga is an adaptation of Turn A Gundam‘s story by Atsushi Souga. While it shares the same overall plot, it diverges from the anime in many ways. The latter volumes have significant changes and the ending & epilogue is quite different.
The Team:
Feez – Organization & Typesetting
Peytral – Translation
idango – TL Checking
Nanopocalypse – Editing

Turn A Gundam Staff, Production, and Episode Analyses – Episode #28 “The Burden”
Turn A Gundam‘s twenty-eight episode was broadcast on Fuji TV on October 22, 1999.
Turn A Gundam Staff, Production, and Episode Analyses – Episode #27 “Midnight Sunrise”
Turn A Gundam‘s twenty-seventh episode was broadcast on Fuji TV on October 15, 1999. This is a highly consequential episode that provides an intense depiction of the devastating effects of nuclear weapons. It aired just weeks after the September 1999 Tokaimura JCO nuclear accident; in interviews, director Yoshiyuki Tomino has described the coincidental timing as “subconsciously reflecting the times.” While it wasn’t his intention to write a story about nuclear weapons, he felt it was required to include it as part of the story (i.e. remnants of the Dark History). In terms of staff involvement, this is one of the few episodes to have two animation directors—Masami Goto is mecha animation director for episodes #27 & #50—and Tomino himself is its storyboard artist. This episode was also selected by fan-poll to receive an audio commentary track for the Blu-ray release.
