Renato Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Figures, I just picked up the 5-pack of books and here I find out that may be the end of it. Nah, I'm positive it will continue. They just have to get the logistics worked out regarding where it will be serialized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Got mine last week along with a figure that I had ordered three months ago, thank you private warehouse, had a finacial issue but I was able to pay for the shipping and it arrived. I must say I like how they remenince back to year before the official launch of the SDF-1 and the arrival of the Zentreadi, of the event that took place with the what is apparently the final battle with the Anti-UN forces and the U.N. Spacy. I definitely liked the first and only Deadalus splash attack on that Anti-U.N. Sub, that captain did not expect that after he damaged the rear hatch of the Deadalus. And on a plus note I finally get to see a picture of Haruhiko Mikimoto, wow he is a year older than Kawamorii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) I've never understood how Global's tenure as a submarine Captain qualified him as the commander of a deep space, Battleship/ Aircraft Carrier?? He's used to confined places??? Just continues to confound me... Edited August 21, 2013 by Zinjo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's used to confined places??? Just continues to confound me... A submarine really is the closest "Earth" environment to running a spaceship. One mistake can kill of everyone and the environment is totally unforgiving. Then add the ability to stay in a confined area for months on end.

He's used to confined places??? Just continues to confound me... He was also previously Captain of an Oberth-class destroyer, so he already had the experience of operating a warship in space. Add to that the fact that he also had actual space combat experience during his time as Captain of said destroyer since he was the one that faced and defeated the hijacked destroyer during the Unification Wars. Also, a submarine operates in a more 3-D environment than regular surface ships, so that could also be a contributing factor in Global's qualifications to command the Macross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXO Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I was gonna say I'd check out Kinokuniya for you but It would prolly cost just as much to ship from here. You're probably better off getting it from Amazon.jp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zinjo Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 no different than questioning presidential cannidates of their qualifications/birth certs/etc LOL... On the contrary, Global has no "right" to be a commander of anything. The Spacy brass and likely some politicians made that call, based upon his abilities and experience. However, I did forget that he was an Oberth Captain during the wars, so he'd be of the few who had space combat, command experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I did forget that he was an Oberth Captain during the wars, so he'd be of the few who had space combat, command experience. i think you should admend that to 'of the few SURVIVING...' It's strongly implied from M0 onwards that the UN/AUN war (is it safe to just call it Macross SDF's WWIII instead?) was very attrition oriented and experianced officers, crew, pilots were all in high demand and very small availality by the time Macross SDF's 2009 year rolled in. He got the job by being one of the lucky ones, if you look at the whole from a certain perspective. And your right about his selection being very political. politics is what started the war in the first place...

nhyone Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Thanks! wow!, 30 bucks international shipping, hate it when shipping is more than the item itself. I was preordering the Mospeada Blurays, so I thought to tag this along. Amazon doesn't allow us to combine shipping anymore? I had to cancel my preorder and create a new order. On its own, the shipping would cost 2000 yen, but when combined, it is just 2500 yen. Now, there's the other question of all these strange cryptic symbols on the pages...

Tochiro Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Spotted by forum user Peter at the Comic Walker booth at Anime Japan today - a Macross the First sketch by Haruhiko Mikimoto. Comic Walker is a new digital manga service by Kadokawa that includes manga such as Yamato 2199 and Gundam the Origin. Could this mean that Macross the First is returning in digital form? A search for it at the newly launched Comic Walker site comes up with no hits at this point, but it may be worth keeping an eye on the service in the future just in case.

While it'd be cool to see it back up, I still like having my hard copy of the book. Does this mean, if your suspicion is correct, that these won't be on bookshelves?

Thank you for checking!It looks like they updated the site with this news after midnight (ie, after I checked). It looks like the news is also only displayed if you set the app to Japanese. Even though Kadokawa claims it to be international, the English version of the app does not have the same news post. I tried confirming with Kadokawa and all they could say was that 'most' titles would be available internationally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
