  1. Okay... I have no idea when I'm going to finish this. I have only a few pages left, but I'm finding it extremely difficult to get through them. So here's the prologue and the first two chapters. I'm currently a little over halfway through Chapter 3. Plundering Fleet 1.pdf You should pretty immediately notice a difference if you compare it to the old "translation."
  2. I never got around to finishing this, but it should give you a start. Sketchley's Translations thread might also have more info. I can tell you one thing, though... you need one more binder. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37976
  3. And Isamu really did nearly kill at least one of his comrades.
  4. Japanese doesn't always have plurals, so really, War or Wars would be the same. AnimEigo used "Wars," so I think that what most people go by (also, check the description of them in Ep. 1). As for how long each lasted, there's not too much info, although the official timeline gives some of the major battles and attacks over the years.
  5. This is really just spinning wheels... Based on what you've said, it doesn't sound like much about the series really stuck with you...
  6. It's okay, Valkyrie Driver... Just watch this a few times.
  7. I'd hope not! And this whole thread is rather silly... If you don't like the toy's colors, learn to paint. It's easy. And fun!
  8. Huh... I don't remember anyone, from the grunts on up, ever mentioning that in the show. Which episode(s) are you referring to?
  9. Well, he DID get Milia's Valk destroyed so yeah, no sympathy.Although later, he does at least TRY to get down with the cool kids...
  10. Racking my brains, I can't for the life of me figure out who suffered because of Basara... Except Gamlin.
  11. Almost done with Aquarion Evol, and still enjoying it immensely (although I still don't buy one of the character's action completely...).
  12. As Blake put it, "If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise." Basara became wise.
  13. The consequences of his actions being, of course, that the galaxy is saved and the remaining Protodeviln will stop trying to drain everyone of life-force.Kaifun's "pacifism" was really inappropriate, given the context of Space War I. Basara's (which isn't really pacifism as much as it's intense desire for his music to accomplish anything he wants it to) is precisely what was needed in the Varauta Conflict. And of course he gets away with murder. He's being sponsored by Max!
  14. Gritty! (And no, I'm not being sarcastic.)
  15. Because one of the people I worked with at the Satelight booth at AX last month was one of the producers of Logos, I've been catching up on Aquarion. I saw the first couple of episodes years ago, but never continued. Right now, I've finished the first series and movie, and am entering the final third of Evol. I've really been enjoying the whole ride. I love how it hews so close to so many conventions of '70s robot shows (like, if the robots attacks, you know it will be the decisive blow if and ON!Y if the theme song starts playing) but twists everything else around so fully. I'm finding the main couple in Evol pretty dull, but the rest of the cast is fun enough that it generally doesn't matter too much.
  16. Yes, I think you're reading too much into my reply. I don't care for Battletech, and my experiences with its fans has left me with a poor impression of them. I'm not sure why this bothers you so much, or why you want to change my mind. I'm also not sure why you're dragging HG into it, since I certainly didn't say anything about them. Yes, FASA thought they had the rights to the designs all sewn up, but they didn't. That's just a fact.
  17. Another thing that makes me LESS warm towards many Battletech fans is their seeming inability to check their facts. FASA didn't get their license from Big West or Studio Nue, they got it from 20th Century Imports, who had worked with US companies to release a lot of anime model kits to the U.S. market. (And your understanding of who owns what in Macross is a little skewed... Studio Nue owns none of it on their own, besides credit for the original concept, and while Tatsunoko owns the overseas rights, they don't JUST own the overseas rights. their name is all over the Japanese DVD and BD sets, for example.) http://www.mechatalk.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10763 http://www.qqmercs.com/now-you-see-me-and-now-you-dont-a-brief-history-of-the-unseen/
