North of 49 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Received my copy of Shoji Kawamori's Designers Note on the 24th via DHL. Couldn't believe that it arrived before Christmas but what a nice surprise. Man that book is heavy. I really wasn't paying attention to the page count so I was taken aback at the size of the book. Now that Christmas is over I am really looking forward to looking through it. Quote

Agreed! I like how they not only came up with a new alternate head turret, but also revised the transformation (the parts that become the chest/upper legs). The way the gun pod is "held" in fighter—not to mention loading a missile on top of it—is intriguing. I'm wondering how available (or rare) this doujinshi is.

I am sure many a Macross book collection started with that very same volume of the This is Animation series...now you'll need to get Volume 5 and 7 and probably 11....if you do not have them already!

jvmacross Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 More English in Macross is always a good thing! Quote
sketchley Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 The only problem is that they did a machine translation. So, instead of something like 原画 (genga) becoming "key frame", we got the nonsensical "original picture"! Quote
jvmacross Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 I suppose my genga are "original pictures" Quote

Yes, however, they are completely in Japanese....which would require you to use a proxy....which would translate into more money to buy it.... The link I provided should work...it is a link to the "English" listing of the doujin......if you get stuck at any point in the process you can always "right-click" and select to translate the ordering page....assuming you are using Google Chrome as your browser....You need to have created a Mandarake account first before ordering...

The worst outcome would be finally receiving a book that any soul could have put together with photoshop using existing Mikimoto art... But seriously, not sure what art we have not seen (other than maybe MtF)...unless they go with the same concept as Kawamori's recent books showing the "artistic" process to get to a finished illustration....an up-to-date comprehensive collected Macross works will still be appreciated...in either case, until it is officially cancelled...I have no other option but to continue to wait....

hachi Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) There's an English version of Mikimoto's Character Design book but supposedly took out the Macross content. Boo! But does anybody remember how many pages of Macross content did the Japanese version had? I don't have it, since I was waiting for that other book of his that was supposed to have been released like, years ago? Edited April 7, 2021 by hachi lol figuring how to embed the tweet Quote
jvmacross Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 (edited) Not much.....I think I posted that info when it came out...it's in one of these pages...probably easier to find it via google than on the search within this site As for the "English" version....easy pass without the Macross content....lame!
