Just curious why the change of spelling or the possible Germanic influence. Chris Expand Ah, tricky. The "a" in Walküre is pronounced like in "pass", and the ending "e" like the "ea" in "head". For the umlaut-u (ü), there's no equivalent that I know. But you can have it read to you by google translate, the pronunciation is spot on. Quote
kajnrig Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 If you're wondering how the specific pronunciation in-show, it's ワルキューレ or "wa-ri-kyuu-re" or "wall-cue-ray". Quote

Dobber Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys! Is there a lot of Germanic influence in the show? I wonder what made Kawamori decide to go that route. Interesting. Chris Edited July 13, 2019 by Dobber Quote
kajnrig Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 (edited) On 7/13/2019 at 9:17 AM, no3Ljm said: Fixed. Expand Eh, you know how the Japanese are with their L's and R's. EDIT: I should add that the pronunciation isn't a case of Engrish or anything, it's intentional. The same (English) word, "Valkyrie," is written and pronounced バルキリー "ba-ru-ki-rii" and the word used in the song Sayonara no Tsubasa, "Valkyria," is written/pronounced バルキリア "ba-ru-ki-ri-a" I don't know if you're familiar with the promotional art, but the "W" visual is getting lots of play here. The W in the idol group name, the hand signs, the wing configuration of Delta Squad's VF-31s, etc. Edited July 13, 2019 by kajnrig Quote
Bolt Posted July 13, 2019 Posted July 13, 2019 The Germanic influences in Delta ,iirc , are mostly in the Valkyrie and character names, such as Seigftied , Draken , Heinz, etc. the Windermere kingdom has a medieval look and feel.Not sure if any of that is taken from Germanic influences. I recommend watching it , it is Macross after all. Just not the best.. Quote

I just corrected the 'wa-ri-kyuu-re' to 'wa-ru-kyuu-re' and 'wall-cue-ray' to 'war-cue-ray'. The reasons for that is because in katakana it was ワルキューレ (wa-ru-kyu-re). The second letter (ル) is 'Ru' and not 'Ri'. Regarding the 'wall' to 'war' on 'wall-cue-ray' since it's how fast sometimes they say the word in the show. We still don't hear the 'L' sound so I just corrected it to 'R'. To make it short, I just corrected it based on the actual katakana word used and not the actual english word counterpart. Quote

You know, it's funny because I made extra sure too on the "valkyrie" translation to get that right. And yet didn't notice when checking Walkure (thrice!). Sometimes my eyes just roam right past what I'm supposed to be looking at. Quote

Turns out I did recall correctly... the SVF--124 Moon Shooters were first mentioned as a VF-17 squadron in This is Animation Special: Macross Plus (OVA Ver.) on page 96. They were apparently split off from Apollo Base's Luna Guard and assigned to escort a long-distance emigrant fleet (but it doesn't say which). Quote

Focslain Posted August 27, 2019 Posted August 27, 2019 Would have liked it if her 31E had the radar dish deployed, but going to get for the collection anyway. So guess Mikumo's 31S will be beginning of next year? Also HLJ is making the page right now, pre-order should be available shortly. Quote
