Tochiro Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Anymore up dates to this series? That depends on what you mean by update I suppose. There are 4 tankobons to date, with a new chapter appearing in Newtype Ace which gets released on the 10th of each month. Having said that, there will be no new chapter next month so the next new chapter should be September. Mikimoto's publishers have asked him to make The First his main priority this year, being the 30th anniversary and all that, but he was also focusing on getting his latest art book out until fairly recently. Not to mention the fact that he keeps getting commissioned to do new art for every new bluray release (Mikimoto's art for the DYRL BD was running quite late apparently, which is why Amazon was using placeholder art, then Tenjins boxart. It wasn't until the theatrical screening the the long awaited boxart was revealed in poster form - long story short, the man is pretty busy). Additionally, Mikimoto has stated that he would like the manga to cover at least up to Love Drifts Away but isn't sure whether it will continue past that point. Quote
Renato Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 There's not gonna be any MacFirst in the upcoming issue of NA, by the way. Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Will there be fifth Document of Macross bundled with the upcoming issue? Quote
Renato Posted July 27, 2012 Posted July 27, 2012 Will there be fifth Document of Macross bundled with the upcoming issue? Yes, it will be about the evolution of the Megaroad-to-Macross design. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 I know I was late in telling you all this, since I got my copy three weeks ago, I have been busy with work. All I just gotta say is this; Max rocks as a Destroid pilot. The way he blocks Kamjins attack with the barrells of his Tomahawk and lets him have it with a barrage of missiles, so far only wounding the Glaug. and it funny he he leaps away waving at bye bye to Kamjin as a taunt. How'd he do that while every one else was having ahard time movie around in that gravity trap. I say if Kawamori wants to do a remake SDF macross for todays generation. The First would be an excellent model. BTW what's up with Kakizaki being carried back to the SDF-1 in the cockpit of Roy's fighter. I may not understand Japanese but the expression on Roy's face was priceless, especially when Claudia chimed in. Quote

I may not understand Japanese but the expression on Roy's face was priceless, especially when Claudia chimed in. His GBP-1S failed to purge after the battle as planned, stranding him in battroid mode unable to make the long haul back to the Macross. Just goes to show the Valkyrie's curse is real, talk smack about women while in one and bad things are liable to happen to you. Quote
Zinjo Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 Yes, it will be about the evolution of the Megaroad-to-Macross design. THAT I'd love to see! Quote
thenoyb Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 MichaelS were did you find vol 2, I'v only found vol 1 translated? Quote
Beltane70 Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 I'll finally be getting volume 4 next week. I can't wait! Quote
Vicious Posted August 5, 2012 Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Hey guys, awesome forum! Any idea where to get scans of Macross the First - latest chapters? Where I live importing the tankobons off internet is basically impossible :-( If nothing is available online, maybe you could at least post a few more scans of Laplamiz and Milia? Please?

lavinrac Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Here they have all the 4 vols to import. http://www.cdjapan.c...=20&order=score I own all four volumes. I miss the good old days of anime when 'scripts' were available on the net. I'd love to take my legit japanese Macross the First manga and have a printout of the dialog next to it and just read it. (the text translation, not a 'scanlation' that steals all the content. Quote

sketchley Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I would like that as well. For my Master File books I've been relying on the few bits Sketchley has had the time/patience to translate. Wish I had more time these days (patience isn't so much a factor). Wish I could advance the 4 major translation projects at the same time at an equal pace (Macross Chronicle, Variable Fighter Master File, Macross the Ride, Great Mechanics.DX), but invariable it's one at the expense of the others. It also doesn't help that the VFMF are self described as being "not part of the official setting". >.< Anyhow, Iavinrac: the main reason text translations are not available (at least for MtF) is how easy it is for someone to copy/paste the translations into scans of the manga.

Makes sense. Still a shame for those of us who bought legit copies but don't speak Japanese. The worst part for me is I took 4 semesters of Japanese in college, but forgot most of it.. that and we didn't get that far into Kanji anyhow. I'd love to take it locally but cannot seem to find a college that offers it in my area. Quote
Old_Nash Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 The manga have only 4 volumes? I read only 2, because are in Spanish... Quote
Hikuro Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Just got vol 4, with 1 and 3 on the way so I've only read 2 and 4......well "Read". What is up with Roy in this last volume? He seems pretty pissed off at Hikaru. Am I right to assume that he doesn't think Hikaru is mature and experienced enough to be some kind of a squad leader? Quote

He seems pretty pissed off at Hikaru. Am I right to assume that he doesn't think Hikaru is mature and experienced enough to be some kind of a squad leader? He puts Hikaru under house arrest for three days (which of course means that Hikaru will miss Minmay's birthday party). Quote
nick20050 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Well I loved the original. Hikaru in the Skull one VF-1S seemed cool. Roy was great I will always be upset that he died he was awesome. Hikaru decided to make sure that Skull Squadron continue to be the best. He was never shot down after that while in the VF-1S. proves that he had greatly improved Quote

Theres a lot about it thats very cool and reminds me (albeit to a more limited extent) of how Yamato 2199 is updating many concepts of the original Yamato. Now I only hope that Mikimoto can keep the series going - his editors have asked him to make it a priority this year, yet new chapters are still rather sporadic..... Quote
coronadlux Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I have read the first 2 chapters that have been fan translated. I like it so far, it does throw a bit of a different spin on things and changes the story somewhat, but not enough to say that it's no longer the same. I need to take some japanese in college. I would really love to read the originals. Quote
MichaelS Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Has any one else found more english translations? What vol. # are we at now? Quote
Hikuro Posted October 15, 2012 Posted October 15, 2012 only one I've found was volume 1. Hadn't seen a volume 2 yet. Quote

Tochiro Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) OHHELLYEAH!!!! Go straight to 3:43!!! Sorry to burst your bubble but its a mis-translation. he says he is rearranging the events of the original tv series in the manga adaptation. Not the only questionable translation either.... (artbook referred to as a 'pamphlet', Parts of sentences dropped, etc. - its still on par with the 'accuracy' of 90% of fansubs though, I suppose...) Edited October 16, 2012 by Tochiro Quote

I,m sorry for the misinformation.... Quote
EXO Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 I actually thought that when I watched it. I don't really start celebrating until it's been officially announced. But then again part of me said a small prayer to the hoary froating head! Quote
Astralith Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Well, back to watching pachinko clips... Quote
Marzan Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Well, lets not be too gloomy. There's bound to be a 'new Macross animation sometime in the future' at some point, right? Quote
Tochiro Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Well, lets not be too gloomy. There's bound to be a 'new Macross animation sometime in the future' at some point, right? This Saturday, to be precise. Well, SOME of the animation is new at least f^_^ Quote
