FYI, the character is not specifically stated to be at the helm of anything.

何言ってんだよ　"S.M.Sのマクロス25（クォーター）戦艦操舵士。"

戦艦操舵士　clearly means battleship helmsman.

The new TV Series is more than what I expected. Only 4 month and some days till air date. Don't know if I can survive this time.

Thank you Macross Kami!!!

This is the original post:

"most civilized nations..." "abhorred" Sorry you arrogant prick, these are loaded words and you know it. And learning not to assume is also something you learn in university, but maybe you missed that class so you could take some extension classes on "how to use your knowledge to be a complete ass on the internet 101".

Look at the posters names. When does Sketchley = Sketch?

You are attributing another person's post to me.

User profiles:

Sketchley (me): http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showuser=3910

Sketch (not me): http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showuser=1441

If you need a mod to provide you the IP addresses, I'm sure that can be provided.

And mods, can you censure Eugimon?

No, it doesn't clearly mean it.

Sanseido's Daily Concise: helmsman = 舵取り

All dictionaries referenced give 操舵 as steering. Tuttle's "The Learner's Kanji Dictionary" gives 士 as Samurai; man; scholar. 最新漢韓字典 gives 士 as scholar, or warrior.

Therefore, the term could be translated as: steering samurai, steering warrior, steering man, or steering scholar.

I will concede that helmsman conveys a similar meaning to that of 操舵士, but for me, and the reference material that I have available, 操舵士 has an entirely different facet that 操舵手 (helmsman) does not convey.

For some, this may seem like arguing semantics, but it is par for the course with translations. Subtle differences could result in entirely different concepts when mistranslated. For those readers who have read this far, if you want the quick and dirty translation, go with cyde01's translation. If you want a more exact and nuanced translation, go with the list of possible translations that I have provided herein.

Just to clarify, our effeminate helmsman makes an appearance in the first episode, and indeed he was at the helm.

Very cool; I've been wanting an easy way to show one of my friends some of the battle scenes/etc. and the third part uploaded to youtube is at just the right spot.

Who's kidding who... will Bandai make 'em? All they could pull off is re-ishes of model kits

Oh i dunno, thought you knew something I didn't. The obvious answer is probably Bandai, but I hope that it's a free for all, like Mospeada, and we'll have a few cool competitive designs.

Cool, the VF-171's head looks like it closely resembles that of the VF-17D, my favorite ever VF.

Now I want a toy of this more than ever.

Haven't seen a VF-17S equivalent of a VF-171 yet. Wonder if it is going to show up.

So it does transform after all.

I love the extra details on the 171 in the first ep.

In wonder if it was a wise choice to have the other eps so for away. I mean, I don't want people to forget lose interest in this franchise now, I want to support it fully, unlike back in the time of Macross Zero. But then again, when March hits I suppose the first ep will reair, and we'll be getting regular eps weekly till Christmas, so it's a bit different.

I really liked the purple-striped VF-25, I hope we see it at some point. If nothing else, it's DIFFERENT. Personally, I'm getting starting to get sick of "pale grey/white valk with black and yellow stripes and a skull". I've got a VF-1 painted like that, I will buy no others. Same for "hero-boy's valk with red stripes".

But purple stripes on white? That's new.

I expect there will be a marketing blitz between now and April. Interviews, lineart, art, etc.... This looks like a fairly expensive production so they will want to get as many eyes watching it as possible...

After viewing the episode:

I think the VF-171 is actually called a VF-117 - if you go frame by frame when they show the scout being destroyed on the tactical screen, it shows this.

Also the Ghosts are identified as AIF7S.

Sweet episode cant wait for more!!

VF-117 would sort of make sense I guess given the relation to the F-117 Nighthawk.

One instance of 117 does not make the "171" -> "117." every other time you see on the fighter it shows the numbers 171. The writing you saw on the computer projection was merely an error, or perhaps the 117th fighter commissioned in the Frontier forces.

But why would every "VF-171" have its name painted on it??? I think it stands for their fighter group (such as Variable Fighter Group 171) not the actual fighter designation. The VF-25 doesn't have VF-25 painted on it - it has SMS007.

As it says VF-171 on the side of the fighters in big bold letters, plus two Japanese magazines have already published the name as being VF-171, I think it's a pretty safe bet that the name of the fighter is indeed VF-171.

Gee boss, but the evidence is so compelling...I think I'll put my collection on the "117".... :p:lol:
