sketchley Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) RM++ Project: Episode: M25A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 25 "Virgin Road": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#SDFM - some very interesting points are raised, not to mention the marital status of the three bridge bunnies as of 2045. Episode: 7 37A & B: Macross 7 Eps. 37 "The Riddle Of The Space Ruins?": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#M7 - one question remains: is it that easy to decipher the writing of the Protoculture? Or does that "vast insight" imply that one has a background in the Zentraadi language and Over Technology in general? Edited February 18, 2014 by sketchley Quote
sketchley Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Complete! Gallery Zero: Macross Zero #57: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRgallery/MCRgallery.php#M0 - interesting. Another picture not in the original. Glossary 17A: Nuujaderu Gaa - Vajra: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRglossary/MCRglossary.php - revised, edited and retranslated some parts that were... yucky. Should I mention that some parts were changed between the two editions? Quote
sketchley Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 RM++ Project: Character: F SMS 01B: Saotome Aruto: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRcharacter/MCRcharacter.php#MF - one of the RM's is a godsend - it clarifies not only the root cause of Aruto's actions, but also highlights at least one of the reasons why he ended up with who he ends up with. Complete: Mechanic: 7 UN 10B: Macross 7 Fleet Aircraft: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#M7 - no major changes in the translation, but isn't it interesting that the editors decided to move the sheet has been moved from the UN section to the Civilian section?

VF-15 Banshee Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Hmm, can we say, 'Oedipus Complex?' Quote
sketchley Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 RM++ Project: Character: M Citizen 03B: The People In The Macross: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRcharacter/MCRcharacter.php#SDFM - the RM's are a bit light, but underlining the humans-with-giants living together post war is decidedly Macross. Worldguide 26A: Idols: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRworldguide/MCRworldguide.php - some interesting stuff. Especially on the idols that got bumped to the sides with the appearance of the "super idols" in Macross. The RM on the abilities of Sara Nome is eye opening. Complete: Mechanic: M Zentraadi 09B: Zentraadi Pods: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#SDFM - some changes between the two editions. Though, the translated needed (and got!) a major overhaul. Quote
sketchley Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 RM++ Project: Timeline 44A: Operation Stargazer (7): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtimeline/MCRtimeline.php - it feels like the density of the text in the timeline summary has increased. Were the initial writers feeling the page count crunch? The RM's are quite interesting - nostalgic, but also give a faint hint of lost opportunities (for dramatic pathos in the series, mainly). Quote
sketchley Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 RM++ Project: Episode: M26A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 26 "Messenger": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#SDFM - Who is the newcomer Matsuki? Despite highlighting how many times he appears, the RM doesn't really answer that. On another note: when I was looking up the VA for Exsedor, I came across "Exidor", one of the reoccurring characters in "Mork & Mindy". Did Macross borrow the name? (As M&M predates SDFM). Does anyone know the story on that? Episode: F18A & B: Macross F Eps. 18 "Fold Fame": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#MF - most interesting is the production side influencing the writing side of the series. And then there is that whole Nishimura Tomomichi and the originator/modern Minmei thang. Quote
sketchley Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Complete: Glossary 21A: VF-1 Valkyrie - Buritai 7018: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRglossary/MCRglossary.php - only a few minor changes between the two editions. The translation has also been polished in a few spots. Quote
jvmacross Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Issue 61.... Hope they get to a VF-4 battroid before it's all over..... Edited February 25, 2014 by jvmacross Quote
sketchley Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 RM++ Project: Character: Ai Meltran 01A: Miria 639: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRcharacter/MCRcharacter.php#DYRL - What is the Matrix Moruku Rapuramizu? This sheet gives a quite definitive explanation - and it surprised me. Quote
sketchley Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 RM++ Project: History M 11A: Release Of "Little White Dragon": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRhistory/MCRhistory.php#SDFM - highlights in the RM are some of the names of the other propaganda films, and how this movie was one of the contributing factors in the destruction of the Earth. O.O;;; Worldguide 22A: Super Dimensional Restaurant "Nyan-Nyan": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRworldguide/MCRworldguide.php - a bit more on Yocchan and his rise to galactic domination (in a way), and the uniforms (look closely at the picture connected to the "irregardless of the age or body shape" caption. Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 A section on Nene and Lalamia? Do want. Quote
Kelsain Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Also, interesting to see the pic of Galaxy Anonymous. I always thought it looked like those 3 guys had implanted themselves into Exsedol's brain. Perhaps they are making use of an advisor's analytical hardware... Quote
sketchley Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 RM++ Project: Timeline 45A: The Conclusion Of The Varohta Campaign (7): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtimeline/MCRtimeline.php - although the first RM is a fascinating bit of pseudo-science, the second one is gold, as far as providing a bit more detail to "what happened to the M7 fleet after the series" goes. Quote
sketchley Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 RM++ Project: Glossary 18A: Hassan - Vampire: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRglossary/MCRglossary.php - although it rounds out or adds much needed detail in some sections, it also comes up lacking in others (ie: what is Barunasium used for? Aside from being rare, why is it so valuable? After all, Fold Quartz is rare, but it doesn't appear to be any where near as valuable... Quote
sketchley Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 RM++ Project: TF01C & D: Macross F Theatrical Edition ~The Wings Of Goodbye~: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#TMF - I'm not sure if the nuances in the "Training As An Oyama" are conveyed adequately. In short: Aruto has the habit of being more womanly than Sheryl is at times. Episode: 7 38A & B: Macross 7 Eps. 38 "Sybil Of The Forbidden Planet": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#M7 - quite interesting. On top of the symbolism and a meditation on the implications of the episode, we also get a definitive statement on what went wrong with the SDF-1's Space Fold at the start of SDFM (hopefully it'll put to rest the argument in some circles that that botched Space Fold was part of the Supervision Forces' booby trap...). Quote
jvmacross Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 we also get a definitive statement on what went wrong with the SDF-1's Space Fold at the start of SDFM So besides grabbing a chunk of whatever land mass is nearby, it also skews space fold coordinates/destinations....Got it! So I guess space fold jumping, like travelling through hyperspace, is also nothing like dusting crops...... Quote
sketchley Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Complete! Heroine Gallery: Ranka Lee x MBR-07-MkII / Kuran Kuran x MBR-04-MkVI: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRheroine/MCRheroine.php - a new artist participates. RM++ Project: History: TF 04A: The Goal Of The Galaxy Fleet: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRhistory/MCRhistory.php#TMF - a nice summary of Fold Quartz's effects in the Macross Universe, and a delicious RM that highlights a few more differences between the TV series and the movie version of MF. Quote
sketchley Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Complete: Mechanic: D7 ETC 02A: VA-3C Kai Invader Kai: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#MD7 Mechanic: 7 UN 13A: Macross 5 Fleet: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#M7 - the translations in both have been cleaned up. Only a few minor changes in the source text between the two editions. Quote
sketchley Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Complete: Mechanic: Ai UN 08A: ARMD: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#DYRL - translation has been cleaned up in spots (and with the notes on what may be a typo on the publisher's side *may* have made at least one section more understandable). Image-wise, the revised edition has coloured the illo of the two ARMD attached to the Storm Attacker form SDF-1. Quote
sketchley Posted March 8, 2014 Posted March 8, 2014 Complete! Worldguide 24A: Vajra: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRworldguide/MCRworldguide.php - no major changes between the two versions. Some minor ones but, surprisingly, they don't effect the translation! (the editors are making it more understandable for Japanese readers or something along those lines). Quote
sketchley Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 RM++ Project: Timeline 46A: The Unexpected Meeting With the Galactic Whales (D7): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtimeline/MCRtimeline.php - wish I had more time to give the ancient Zolan inscription translation a bit more of an Olde English feel to them. Nevertheless, both RM's add to the series. On the flip side, there is nary a mention of Gamlin and the other members of Fire Bomber in the headlines and timeline highlights... Quote
sketchley Posted March 10, 2014 Posted March 10, 2014 RM++ Project: Episode: M27A & B: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross Eps. 27 "Love Flows": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#SDFM - the description of the production side of things is quite interesting. Especially Kawamori killing a VCR in the process! Episode: F19A & B: Macross F Eps. 19 "Triangular": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#MF - the highlights are, again, the notes on the production side. Quote
Mr March Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Strange choice for a marquee painting. There were many other, better options to paint before that design, but I suppose we take what we can get. Quote
sketchley Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Complete: Gallery II: Super Dimensional Fortress Macross II ~Lovers Again~ #60: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRgallery/MCRgallery.php#MII Mechanic: F NUNS 07A: Macross Frontier Vehicles: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRmechanic/MCRmechanic.php#MF - no changes between the two editions (some font size changes). Though, the translation has been massively cleaned up. Quote
sketchley Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Complete: Timeline 47A: The Arrival of the Vajra (F): http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRtimeline/MCRtimeline.php - a few changes between the two editions, and the translation has been cleaned up. Quote
sketchley Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 RM++ Project: History 7 09A: Operation Stargazer: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRhistory/MCRhistory.php#M7 - nice. They provide a reason why the 4th Planet Of The Varohta 3198XE Star System is so cold. Quote
sketchley Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 RM++ Project: Glossary 19A: PCS Reaction - VF-5000B Star Mirage: http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRglossary/MCRglossary.php - lots of goodies. The highlight (for me), is the explanation of how the guns on the Varohta warships work. Quote
sketchley Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 RM++ Project: Episode: F20A & B: Macross F Eps. 209 "Diamond Crevasse": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#MF - some interesting points, especially about the possibility of Michele having slept around with other S.M.S. coworkers. That said, I guess we can take this sheet as confirmation that the VF-25A did appear in the TV series. Episode: 7 39A & B: Macross 7 Eps. 39 "The Basara Who Returned": http://sketchleytranslation.host-ed.me/MCRepisode/MCRepisode.php#M7 - the highlight of this sheet is the clarification that the Three Star ship (and all the other function ships in the New Macross Class fleets) are produced for each fleet (I was left with some confusion from the sheet on the Three Star, which implied that the Three Star Ship was unique - though in retrospect, that probably could be implying that it was modified during the voyage to become unique. Ah... Japanese, and its tendency to not clearly state the subject!) Quote
