    Hope you enjoy! Praying that someone scans theirs eventually because of all the previously-inaccessible art of the game Valkyries and such.

    The expanded universe stuff has me interested. How are you all getting your copies? I want to see if i can get a fair price for mine.
  3. PixelatedShinobi
    What spots are you talking about with terminology and romanizations? I edited all of this and we were constantly checking the Mecha Manual, here, and the official subtitles (Vhirler, as strange as it may seem, /is/ official). We can fix 'em for next chapter and for the eventual batch release. Some stuff like "Zentra", "Fold Course" and air traffic controller were explicitly written out in katakana, so we didn't want to mess with it too much.

    Yeah, it's awesome. The translator (Logan) did the hard work, and he did a damn good job of it. Kodachi's prose is phenomenal and I'm so happy its coming through clearly. And yeah, summaries aren't everything. Lotta misinformation goes around, so I'm very happy to be getting the work out there to clear any up.

    And we're starting with Chapter 1 - Deep Space War Bird! https://www.tumblr.com/trafalgarlog/812545257042509824/macross-the-ride-1-deep-space-war-bird?source=share In the sea of stars, there is no forward nor backward. It is a world governed by inertia alone, where all one can do is float. It is a hollow world where one neither flies nor advances, merely drifting along the course of another’s vector. Even so, she thought that she wanted to fly. Please enjoy, and stay tuned for further updates!

    I, PixelatedShinobi, am funding an English translation of Macross the Ride! Chapter 1 just released, and more will be releasing every month over the next 11-12 months! Macross the Ride was a prose series published in Dengeki Hobby Magazine from 2011-2012, accompanied by custom models by KuWa (Frameoutworks). It is a prequel/sidestory to Macross Frontier and follows Chelsea Scarlett, S.M.S. pilot, as she is sucked into the thrilling and dangerous world of Vanquish Racing in the Frontier fleet. It was collected into two volumes and two Visual Books, but aside from some work to translate the contents of the Visual Books, it has never been released in English. Until now! It can be read here! https://gundamseedastray.blog/ Additional information can be found at @trafalgarlog.bsky.social and @pixeldoesthings.bsky.social!

    Tbc, the minifigs aren't what I truly care about - I really would love a large-scale Helicarrier display to pose my micro-build robots on. I love the Helicarrier, to the point that I suspect it's why I find battleships so cool in mecha.
  9. PixelatedShinobi
    I've wanted a redo of the original UCS Helicarrier for years, and now that we have it.... it's not really that much better, and it's $100 more expensive. Man. Man. I could probably swing this if it was $300, but $400 is just... more than is really worth it to me, even with those amazing minifigs.
  10. PixelatedShinobi
    77,777 yen is a good bit but woof that's expensive. I believe it's about par for the course for JP boxsets, especially for full 4K remasters like this, but definitely going to wait and see if AlltheAnime puts this out in a few years.
  11. PixelatedShinobi
    I joined the forums to source some knowledge for the Macross VF-X2 project, so I made my pfp Suzie Newtlett from the game! I love Suzie, she's great.
  12. PixelatedShinobi
    Roger. We found the illustration for Chapter 1 on their Pixiv (along with a TON of girls kissing) but it seems we'll have to find those individual print issues. It's a damn shame the digital distribution was never archived. I'd pay for it, if I could, I really would. Thank you for your help regardless! Look forward to what's coming!
  13. PixelatedShinobi
    That's insane. I can't imagine spending that much on a hobby project. At some point I'll probably have to learn some basic Japanese myself, but today is not that day. I've already paid for the first chapter of The Ride, so expect it out in... early April? If you have any leads on those illustrations, it'd definitely help a lot for the future.
  14. PixelatedShinobi
    Also, wait, seriously - twenty five thousand dollars??? That's a car payment, holy hell. I'm gonna be a little clamshell on what I'm paying for this for now but its like. Absolutely nothing near that.
  15. PixelatedShinobi
    The translator and I have already talked pricing, and it's at a very reasonable rate that I'm able to pay - although I will be setting up a small donation box after the first chapter releases to help alleviate costs.

    Hey, everyone! I'm coming to you all with a request for assistance, because I'm at the start of a huge new project, and need help to make it the best it can be. Specifically, I'm working with (paying) TrafalgarLog, a prolific Gundam translator, for a full translation of Macross the Ride, serialized from 2010-2011 in Dengeki Hobby Magazine. Log has the print bound versions of both 1 and 2, but we'd like to include the specific Chapter Illustrations (of which one is pictured below). However, these are only in black and white in the print versions, and to our understanding were only in Dengeki magazine and possibly their webpage. We only have 1 and 3. Does anyone here have old Dengeki issues with these illustrations and would be willing to scan them, or has scans already, or knows where scans or digital uploads could be found? https://bsky.app/profile/trafalgarlog.bsky.social (The translator's bsky, to provide some indication I'm not just bullshitting. I'm very committed and serious about this.)
