Major Focker Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 thanks G & G! i guess i'll hold out for a complilation book. won't drop out completely though. probably pick up issues that pique my interest.
AcroRay Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Well, the Britai page confirms that Ogotai related to him by cloning. They also show a picture of Elmo, but say that it unknown whether or not he and Britai are from the same family... I'd really like to read a detailed translation or synopsis of that. Britai is my favorite character from SDFM.
Gubaba Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I'd really like to read a detailed translation or synopsis of that. Britai is my favorite character from SDFM. I'd like to oblige, but it really depends on how fast I can crank out the necessary stuff for the Macross Translation Project. I don't have a whole lot of breathing room right now, but that could change by September or October.

DarcSyde Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Hello Guys, Where is the best place to buy the Macross Chronicle issues and binder? Thanks DarcSyde
Graham Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Ditto, before I found shops selling Macross Chronicle locally, I ordered it from HMV Japan. In fact today I just ordered two more Chronicle binders from them. Graham
Mr March Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Amazon.jp and HMV Japan are both reputable sellers. I've order the Chronicle from both multiple times and been happy.
Renato Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 (edited) Well, the Britai page confirms that Ogotai related to him by cloning. They also show a picture of Elmo, but say that it unknown whether or not he and Britai are from the same family... Actually, when it mentions that Ogotai shares a similar appearance to Britai, it reads クローニングのためか, which means "possibly due to cloning..." As usual, it makes me think the editors do not really have that much more information than we do. EDIT -- Just got the new issue today, the Zentradi army illustration is amazing, it reminds me of a Votoms poster. Also, next issue will feature the long-awaited return of the Gallery pages, with Macross 7 Trash, no less! Edited August 6, 2009 by Renato

azrael Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 For the Japanese impaired: Mechanical Sheet *VF-17 Nightmare *VF-11B Thunderbolt [i guess this is the B-sheet] *Civilian/Private vehicles *VT-1C Ostrich Character sheet *Gamlin Kizaki [Again!!!!?????] *People of UN Forces [Maybe the M7 people I guess] * Saotome School Timeline Sheet *Fire Bomber Debut History Sheet *Vajra breakout on the Frontier Fleet Technology sheet *OverTechnology Glossary Sheet *SMS thru Emilia Jenius Goods Sheet *Bandai Macross Fighter collection
Seto Kaiba Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Eh... another issue I really can't get worked up about. From the coverart it looks like this's gonna be the VF-17S Nightmare. Too much Macross 7 and Macross Dynamite 7 stuff lately... I want some more DYRL/FB2012/II stuff... especially after they dared tease me with new information in the VF-2SS sheet.
sharky Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 (edited) Hello Guys, Where is the best place to buy the Macross Chronicle issues and binder? Thanks DarcSyde Hobby Link Japan also has them, and you can use SAL shipping if you don't mind waiting. http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?Word=macross%...chpage=top_page Edited August 10, 2009 by sharky

They're not the fastest, but they're probably the cheapest option out there.
Graham Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 IMO, it's a pity that the issue 29 VF-17 A-page art is Gerwalk mode. I would have loved to see Temjin's take on the VF-17 in battroid mode. Graham
sharky Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Yea, I've gotten all mine from HLJ. They're not the fastest, but they're probably the cheapest option out there. I hear ya. In fact I just got a large batch of them in yesterday. Woohoo! I got a shipping notice on July 22nd and they arrived on Aug. 11th. So, about 3 weeks from Japan to Atlanta, GA. That's about average speed for me. The shortest was about 1.5 weeks and the longest was 5 weeks. Now I'm caught up to issue 26. I will need to get a couple more binders on the next batch.
sketchley Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) It says "8-engined all-wing giant['s] bomber" (...) No, it doesn't. ８発全翼巨人爆撃機 = (literally) 8 launching all wing giant bomber; or translated: all-wing anti-giant* bomber; attacking with 8 (kinds of) weapon(s). *presumably Zentoraadi 'Giant' is written as 巨人 (kyujin) (...) kyojin. きょじん.

the_foul_fowl Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Just browsing through my copy of #27. In the mecha development timeline for the VF-19, it states that the YF-24 is the direct successor to the VF-19. Anyway, I hope somewhere along the line we have more info on the YF-24, looks like an interesting delta-wingvalk. =)

nexxstrait Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I've noticed that in the Glossary sheets there is a reference with picture to Aegis Focker. Does it say anything interesting (I'm afraid I buy chronicles just for the art, as I don't understand a word of japèanese)?Is this an hint at a future inclusion of the VFX timeline, mechas and charas? I hope so! And has anyone noticed that the VF17S colors do not match the TV colors? The head is grey when it should be mostly white. I've noticed other color errors, too (armored VF17S has the shoulder stripes of the 17D and VF1S Super has white back-leg armor plates instead of grey ones, both in battroid and in fighter mode).

I hope so! The listings I've see span to issue 50. We're only on #30. So anything is still possible. And has anyone noticed that the VF17S colors do not match the TV colors?

I've noticed other color errors, too (armored VF17S has the shoulder stripes of the 17D and VF1S Super has white back-leg armor plates instead of grey ones, both in battroid and in fighter mode). I won't worry to much about the coloring. It's just part of a growing list of typos.
Mr March Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 And has anyone noticed that the VF17S colors do not match the TV colors? The head is grey when it should be mostly white. I've noticed other color errors, too (armored VF17S has the shoulder stripes of the 17D and VF1S Super has white back-leg armor plates instead of grey ones, both in battroid and in fighter mode). Yes, I’ve noticed many of the color mistakes inside various pages of the Macross Chronicle. I’m trying my best to be on the lookout for errors, but we have to be careful what we nit pick because the Chronicle does get it right. In many cases, the Chronicle artists have access to original animation cells and materials that we fans don’t. They can therefore match colors to the animation much better than we can. In addition to the rare instances where the Chronicle artists get actual colors wrong, there are also “filling” errors and “shading” errors aplenty. For example, the colorists accidentally filled a gap between the left arm and the inside of the YF-21. A similar error occurs with the Heracles from Macross II. See attached examples. However, I have to note that the VF-17S Nightmare head unit appears to be correct in the Chronicle. According to screenshots from the Macross 7 Remastered DVD set, the VF-17S does appear to have a slightly blue/grey head unit, not white. See attached picture collage. I’ll correct what I can of my own pictures and revise the Macross Mecha Manual so we can enjoy the best of both worlds. The coloring will be one of the rare instances where the English fans will enjoy slightly better final result
Graham Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 There was also a coloring issue with the face of the VF-19S as well. Bah, two of my favorite mecha, the VF-17S and VF-19S and they screw up the face coloring. Graham
Project Phoenix Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 You can't have everything, Graham. It's like buying Yamato valks. You can't always expect them toys to be assembled perfectly before you purchase them. I'm just grateful they're doing the Macross Chronicles. It's the closest thing to a bible for us fans.

The Evangelion Chronicle was later published as a couple of books...perhaps the same thing will happen with Macross Chronicle? And if so, maybe they'll fix some of the errors.
