Yeah, it's one of a couple of ideas that didn't make it into the show that Mikimoto revived for Macross the First. The initial idea was that the Macross would fire its anchor at asteroids, "cracking" them open, and hurtling the debris at attacking Zentradi. Eventually, this was replaced by the Daedalus Attack.

Really? He came out and SAID that...? Okay, I stand corrected...

I appreciate your help and encouragement (Honestly!)... but really... please stop treating me like a n00b. I've already translated one complete book and two drama albums, with a few more (books AND drama albums) nearly completed (some more nearly than others). I've probably translated more Macross pages than you have, overall... so again, your input is DEFINITELY appreciated, but I know the basics. Really.

Banshee's Thoughts on Macross 7 Sequels
Gubaba replied to VF-15 Banshee's topic in Movies and TV Series
Or the Space Whale. It's no one's fault, really. Basara sings, everyone comes. It's just what happens. -
Asteroid CRACKER, you mean. And I'm still wondering about Episode 50 (or 46, depending)... "The Genius Falls."

That's really cool! My first concert ever was They Might Be Giants at the Wiltern, with Galaxie 500 opening.

Week 1 Progress Report: Thinking that Sketchley's suggested pace of five pages a week might be too much for me, I decided on trying to maintain four pages a week, which would find me finishing in about seven or eight weeks. However, this week, I've managed more than five pages already. If I keep going at this rate, I give Misa's mom about a week to live... EDIT: Incidentally, in rereading what I'd already translated in order to remind myself what was going on in the book, I think I figured out why my work on it had slowed to a crawl. I'm INTENSELY dissatisfied with my translation. Ohnogi has a rather florid prose style, with an eye for some strange images, and I'm finding it beyond my abilities to do an accurate translation that sounds natural in English. As such, I'm opting for accurate over natural, which leaves the book sounding stiffer and more awkward in English than it does in Japanese. I tend to be a perfectionist, and after pages and pages AND PAGES of writing that I felt was half-assed (because it sounded awkward), I think I just got frustrated enough to put the book down. Still, my sister always used to tell me, "Some things are worth doing badly," and I'm trying to take that as my maxim here.

Oh, I started translating it a long time ago, I just ended up slacking off... but a chance comment from a friend of mine about it got me to thinking that I really SHOULD finish it... and then seeing it referenced in the Chronicle was the final straw. It's no coincidence that I posted about it just a couple of days after that issue of the Chronicle came out... EDIT: Back on topic, I was shocked to learn in the latest issue of Chronicle that Kakizaki is BASED ON A REAL GUY... I wonder if he's proud of that...?

Huh. I actually got a mention (not by name, though) in the "Die for Our Ship" entry ( http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DieForOurShip/AnimeAndManga )... That's kinda cool.

There was an interview a while back that intimated that VF-X2 had nothing to do with the development of NUNS (or at least, that it wasn't a deciding factor): http://www.akiba-station.com/blog/?p=3308

Yes, that was why Prime Minister Abe got elected. Japanese businesses WANT the yen to drop. A high yen is bad for exports (as most fans here well know), so Abe is deliberately lowering the yen.

Huh. Never heard that Macek and Kawamori met. I'd imagine that, if they did, though, it would be amicable. 1. Yes, they survived. Most of the info comes from the drama album "Macross 7 Docking Festival" and its liner notes. Kim also shows up in one of the Frontier novels. 2. No idea. 3. Now you're going WAY too deep for a rushed series made on a VERY tight schedule to accommodate. There's no way to answer your question. 4. No answer to this question, either. Remember, it's a TV cartoon. It was (again) made on a VERY rushed schedule. Gaps, leaps in logic, and flat-out mistakes are par for the course.

My FRIENDLY advice: the three big pitfalls of Macross fanfic are 1) "Let's make the girl and guy I like get together, and that'll be the whole story!" 2) "Let's make everything more REAL and MILITARY!!!" and 3) "Let's add an insert-character into the story and have that character interact with the bridge crew!" If you can avoid all three of those cliches, you might be on to something. (Sorry, I'm TRYING to be positive, here!)

Er... that wasn't really what I was hoping for when I translated this stuff (no offense, but I've yet to find any Macross fanfics that I thought were any good... including (I hasten to add) my own...), but, ummm... rock on wit' your bad self.

Music : electro house version of Watashi no Kare wa Pilot.
Gubaba replied to Gakken85's topic in Movies and TV Series
It's not a remix either, it's a full-on self-cover, from this album: http://www.amazon.co.jp/MARI-IIJIMA-sings-LYNN-MINMAY/dp/B00006JOT3/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1369435698&sr=1-1&keywords=mari+iijima+sings+lynn+minmay Very good album, by the way, if a little too short. (EDIT: So yeah, this thread really doesn't belong in the "Fan Works" section.) -
1. He was on the Vajra planet, which has a breathable atmosphere (cf. Episode 25 of Frontier). 2. Dude... AYA ENDO. 'Nuff said (even if she DID totally spank me).
