Mr March Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I honestly thought this was going to be abandoned. So glad that it's still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Been so long that I forgot they left the retelling of the main story to focus on a prequel story. Not sure it was worth the wait. We get about a dozen so or pages and ten of them are an explosion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einherjar Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 They made a good call also posting the previous chapters for this arc, but geez, he really needs to move on to the Miss Macross part. Ten chapters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergorn Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Wait a second... is Macross The First starting over ? It also looks like part of the first chapter has been redrawn compared to what was in the existing volume. What the eck ? -Sergorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Interesting that Mikimoto is back at working with this. I wonder what changed? It's not like it was a commercial success back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBird4 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Floored at the idea of a revisit, (pow zoom), yet have maintained my enthusiasm going from 'er wha- why?' to 'hey yeah damn beautiful!', and so my fingers are crossed as always...

no3Ljm Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Wait. Starting over? So the previous release ones doesn't matter anymore? I mean, I'm sure he can just restart the whole thing and stop where he wanted and decide to restart again, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Dex Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Noobish question probably, but I know some people have done a little bit of translating of First in it's original form but never getting all of it before this refresh. Any idea if anyone is going to try to do that again now (or even if the dialogue is unchanged enough that older scanlations could be adapted)? I just want more than a picture book out of it I guess, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 (edited) No way to tell. The translation community is capricious at best. The guy who was translating it stopped because he decided he was encouraging piracy and didn't want to be an enabler. Something like that. Â Honestly, the fact that no one picked it up after he quit is probably a good sign of what will happen with Macross the Second.

Primus1X Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Is this two different manga now or more of a "remaster"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 If someone really wants to give it a shot google has a phone camera app that translates text in an image. To say that it is a rough translation is probably giving it too much credit but it is a start. I've used it a couple of times and it does give a hint of the gist of a conversation.

Gerli Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 A good translator es key, but editing and cleaning the pages to accommodate the text is also a very important task to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. That's what stopped me and Talos from doing a translation of Macross the First. I'm a decent-enough translator, but my Photoshop-fu is embarrassingly weak.

What I would do (if I had any ability to translate, all I can do is JAVA to C#) would be to put a single number in each voice bubble and a translation off to the side, or even in a separate document.

peter Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) This is sort of new for me, a comic series cancelled part way through only to be started again in a "reboot" sort of way.   I collected however many volumes of Mac the First, even have a couple of dupes because I sort of forgot which ones I'd bought. Nice art work and fairly inexpensive so it's not a problem to start again, but as Yoda once asked, will he finish what he begins?

Gerli Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Is this "cleaning" level aceptable?

jenius Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Looks great, I also think you could just expand the margins between panels and write text there to save a ton of time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hachi Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I really don't like the expanded Minmay fan service. As a commenter noted, she's gone ecchi... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
