I'm a novice in the Japanese language, but I don't see the word for "angry" in that line at all And I recognize the kanji he converted to "angry" it's actually basic since it's the one for "hearing/listening". 怒 vs. 聞 < (@__@;

Some from MG needs to poke Shaloom

Do I hear some sort of deafening silence? ...

Google translate of recent post: SO THEN WHO HAS IT <__<;;

I just went to MG and I think some posters are more supporting the idea that Shaloom and Gubaba reconcile this in private (instead of starting some "drama" in their forum)... Thing is, I think this is NOT a private matter at all. Shaloom and Gubaba are not fighting against each other. They are arguing over the truth of some translations, which involve not only them, but the community. Is there anyone proficient enough in Spanish to translate what is here to MG?

Well... I'm Asian and I like Sheryl more, and so do many of my friends who are also Asians - I actually asked them. Might I add, these friends of mine hate Ranka, except one guy, who said he thought Ranka became cute towards the end. I also go around a Chinese forum and they're mostly for Sheryl too. I'm not sure which batch of fans actually are "generally for" Ranka, except perhaps the Japanese, but they seem to have dropped her in favor of Sheryl recently.

link please? I couldn't find the thread...

Gubaba, great work here! Isn't the last piece of the puzzle the Bobby interview, which no one could find at all? This is a very special case, for which I think Shaloom should bear the burden of proof of producing it.

Nice one! Are those two scans the only ones in question?

Who wrote this statement?! It's weird! How did they come up with that?!

In a nutshell, he is a writer who has worked with previous Macross installations, and whose involvement with Macross Frontier is in question and is quite controversial(-ized). The issue in question is if he indeed wrote for Macross F, and the authenticity of the materials that these circumstances are based on. It has upset many Ranka fans as he is depicted as a staunch Sheryl supporter in these "interviews".

Could you please post this too, no matter how bad the quality is? Let's label it exhibit X

Obligatory Source: Official Creator's Magazine, Animesuki c/o vivitoru I want this most! By the way, thanks for the translation

Most of those are underpriced, let's see what happens by tomorrow.

You have no idea how much I'm contemplating joining you, but I already have a trip that coincides with the date ;__; Tochiro, josue, tell us about it when you guys get back from the concert okay

The ones who have knowledge on Japanese will surely be convinced once a copy of the magazine is produced, right? And the other side too, if otherwise. There's a definite "end" to this "round and round" discussion. What about the controversial Bobby and Ohnogi interview? Has anyone produced a copy of it, a date of the recording, the recording itself, anything?

I hope you can go, so that you can tell us about it! Maaya Sakamoto is about to release a live DVD with song themes from various animations this month. Kanno herself is going to release an anime compilation CD. Maaya's and Kanno's anime music are both under Victor Entertainment, and rights isn't really much of a problem if it's under one record label. I would be really disappointed if they don't release a DVD for this, as they did for Maaya. By the way, PV: http://www.pia.co.jp/plus/asx/kannoyoko090501.asx

Those are the current Newtype polls. Those when the series was still airing painted a different picture, and that was when those "Ranka is more popular in Japan!" comments came up. And well I, was taken by surprise when Sheryl got on top after the series aired. That was frankly, something I did not expect.

I actually kind of see where this impression is coming from. In Japan, Ranka is more popular, but in foreign forums, based on polls and the like, Sheryl is usually the more loved character. I've asked around Chinese forums too (well just out of curiosity since I was in contact with some of their English speakers...), and they said that the fans like Sheryl more. So, the question those shippers are asking is, does the staff want to please the Japanese, who undeniably are a very important group of fans, or please the foreigners? Not that I believe this affected anything, nor would I defend it. It's only a personal an observation, and I'm also very much weirded out how people make conclusions out of it. On both sides of the ship! It was interesting though watching the shipping happen, I was in Animesuki when it happened

Yes, actually "Seatbelts" is just a funky name they thought of so that they could be called something for the Bebop release. They're collectively the instrumentalists who usually work with her. The website for the concert is actually under their name: http://www.jvcmusic.co.jp/seatbelts/

Oh, I meant, if there is going to be a concert after the movie, after we've heard all songs from the series, then I think there's hope that it would have a DVD release

Then there is hope!

Were there any Macross concert DVDs ever (sorry, don't know)? I haven't heard of any news if the Macross F concerts are to be published, but then again, the show isn't done yet, so we could keep our hopes up. There's new music for the movie, and if they decide to hold a concert after the movie and release it as a DVD, it would be better as that would encompass all songs for the show. But I have higher hopes of the Kanno concert to be released because I know at least her Bebop and Turn-A Gundam concerts have been released in DVDs.

I will start a rally if they don't. Heck they're currently selling an expensive cellphone accessory with Kanno's voice in it, and they won't sell out by making a DVD? I doubt it!

Screencaps of the new scenes please! Gubaba, does it say that Nanase was looking behind Lucca at the scene? So she was looking perhaps... for Ranka?
