What the hell?! :o It's THE best Gundam series if you ask me. Make sure to watch the series before "A New Translation".

But that also knows you have no idea how Mineva Zabi is :p

^That's a great looking custom build! I have the original of that one. haha.

The name is familiar.. lol.

Omg, haha. Have you even been paying attention to the story of Gundam Unicorn? :p Audrey Burn is her alias, her real name is Mineva Lao Zabi.. She's the descendent of the Zabi family that was being the first Zeon war in "Mobile Suit Gundam". You should really watch all the older UC series if you ask me. Then you'd also better understand what's currently happening in Gundam Unicorn.

The story makes up for the old animation though. Also, Zeta Gundam looks great for such an old anime tbh. "Mobile Suit Gundam: A New Translation" is a remastered and reworked version of the series. Since it's a reworked version of the series I wouldn't watch it before watching the series. Several things in it are different and it's basically made for the fans who watched the series because they also left things out because the fans/watchers of the series would know how, for instance, the Hyaku Shiki got aboard the Argama. They don't show this in "A New Translation but they do in the series.

Also, it's a bummer though because now you won't fully understand Mineva Zabi and why she wants to stop the war. And the first scene if Bright in Gundam Unicorn also didn't do anything to you for that reason :p I'd really advice you to at least watch Zeta Gundam. You honestly won't regret it at all. You don't really need to watch the first series to understand Zeta Gundam either. Though not having seen the first series does take away the effect of the scene where Quattro Bajeena (Char) and Amuro meat each other again after 6 years.

^Very nice. Hadn't heard of it before. Though I'm going to stick with my Dutch supplier :p

That RX-93 Nu Gundam looks nice though I'm not a fan of the paintjob. It looks good though.

And that new Endless Waltz manga looks interesting as well.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
