絵コンテ, I could not find fine word to it, maybe... Picture continuity?

IIRC, it means "storyboards".

[sketchley]

I agree with the translation of 絵コンテ as "storyboard."

作画監督 is Drawing Director (or Drawing Supervisor). It may be along the lines of art director. Though, as one of the people mentioned is the character designer, they may be doing the key frames, and supervising the in-betweeners, or only doing master line art, and making sure that the key frames (and the in-betweeners, though this is less likely) all match the master art.

kresphy, for your translation, have you tried http://www.excite.co.jp/world/english/ ?

There's also http://tool.nifty.com/globalgate/

Egan Loo has recommended http://linear.mv.com/cgi-bin/j-e/sjis/dict and http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi , but these are more akin to traditional kanji dictionaries.

By the way, an update from the Official Site:

I think it's actually on the 29th @ 2:15 am

[Graham]

Added scans of the July 2007 issue of Newtype to the Frontier page. This is the issue that had the early character and mecha concept art sketches as well as Kawamori's lego VF-25 in Gerwalk mode.

Will we get paid?

Seriously, learn the language. It's not hard. In fact, it's only as hard as you think it will be.

It is, of course, not instant and is a multi-year project, but hey, the same holds true for English. You've been learning it since you were born (if you're a native speaker, that is.) How old are you = how long you've been learning English.

Teach us, sensei sketchley. XD

Learning a new language is always anything but easy.

Finally found the complete Anime Giga show on Stage 6...

http://www.stage6.com/user/iris4d/video/19...-Shoji-Kawamori

I must say that the first part is quite interesting... the first design of the SV-51 looks like the VF-11.

And SK even shows his Lego SV-51

I love how he uses tracing paper on top of the lego photos to help finalize the design.

[azrael]

That because both the SV-51 and the VF-11 are both inspired by Sukhoi designs (namely the SV-51 is inspired by the Su-27). And the Lego SV-51 is found in the Shoji Kawamori Design Works book. You can also find the tracing paper over the Lego photo in the book as well.

new info：

0、Broadcast in 2008 Spring.

1、Sheryl Nome from Macross Galaxy(マクロス・ギャラクシー)!

2、Ranka is Student, work in Chinese restaurant(中華レストラン)

3、Ozma is pilot of Special Force SMS(特殊な軍事部隊SMS).

4、Space Monster(宇宙生物) invade residential area. SMS Force attack it.

5、Maybe there is new U.N. Spacy(新・統合軍)

--------------------------------------------

Very interesting. So it's confimed that Ozma is a Special Forces pilot, not an instructior at the school........good!

Hmm...............not sure how I feel about Ranka working in a Chinese restaurant. Too much similarity to SDFM. Couldn't they at least had her working at another type of restaurant, say German, Korean, Spanish, Italian, etc.

Here's a couple of screen shots from the new video, the VF-25 Fighter with FPs and the back of the VF-25 battroid with FPs.

Much better resolution on these pics.

nice, it looks like the fast packs actually add armor to the valk now, at least it looks that way from the chest pieces in that clip.

Greeeeat. Just what Macross needed: blatant fan service. Please don't be like Godannar, please don't be like Godannar, please don't be like Godannar...

i can see the bottom of her boobs

[Graham]

Here's some more screen caps from the new video. I reckon the armour shown on Ozma's Gerwalk/Battroid is definitely different to the FAST packs shown on the white and red fighter. On the Gerwalk pics, you can clearly see lots of armour on the legs and arms.

Graham

[Graham]

Here's a good shot of the emblem on Ozma's helmet and also the colony ships under attack.

[badboy00z]

Here's my attempt at a lego VF-25. It's not very accurate and does not transform but it's the best that I can come up with with the limited parts that I have.
