sketchley Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 (edited) It just occurred to me that Shinsei Industries loosely translates to Nova Industries, 'shinsei' being 'new star' respectively perhaps also mean Nova. Of course this is a mere guess. It could be, but names are not translated. They are rendered phonetically. Example: Hikaru Ichijo is not Mr. Brilliant Streak. Edited February 20, 2009 by sketchley

Is that what that means? 0_o Hikaru's name change in RT is the only major one I can understand. I knew a Hikaru once. He went by Rick. He had never heard of RT, and I WTF'd in my pants... Moving on. So, does that mean Kakizaki ISN'T a cannibal?
Macross GURU Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 It could be, but names are not translated. They are rendered phonetically. Example: Hikaru Ichijo is not Mr. Brilliant Streak. The reason I say this is because of the word Nova on Kawamori Shoji's earlier design work.
