North of 49 1 Posted December 29, 2020 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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!

sketchley 258 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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....
