Gubaba Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Just saying, if you bump it up so it appears in the view new content thingy, people will notice the edits... Noted. However, DeAgonstini hasn't told us what's beyond issue 7. Since my thread is a Table of Contents, are you suggesting I simply make stuff up...? That may be the Sketchley way to do things, but here in Gubaba-World, things are done differently. By the book. If Sketchley can't keep up, whose fault is that...?

If Sketchley can't keep up, whose fault is that...? How does "posts bumping a topic to indicate that you've edited in the content from the latest issue would be helpful" transmogrify into "make stuff up"? Not sure what point your trying to make with the rest of the post... is it wrong for us to only check the threads that pop up in the View New Content feature? I'm also not sure how bumping your topic once a week to indicate you've made changes constitutes a MW rules violation, either.

You're right, my bad, English short hand just doesn't work in a message board. My intent was "no one has posted in this topic that issue 5 has been released for those overseas residences living vicariously through those of us living in Japan collecting this publication." I'll have to remember to write things out explicitly in the future. Edited February 21, 2013 by sketchley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sketchley Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) New partials: Character Zero Cit 02A Mao Nome: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRcharacter/ZeroCit02AMaoNome.php Character Plus Cit 02A Myung Fang Lone: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRcharacter/PlusCit02AMyungFangLone.php Only the Zero Cit 02A had a change on it - amounting to only a visual restructuring of the character interrelation chart. I was hoping that the extra report on Mao's future in the background of MF would be expanded upon, but so far, MC hasn't been embellishing on what was said in the MF series (devoted to Protoculture Studies, Sheryl's grandma and leader of the 117th Research Fleet.). Updated partial: Timeline 04A: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtimeline/Timeline04A.php No real change in the content (other than the enigmatic addition of an "A" to the sheet number). Translation is the same as before, with a few tweaks here and there. Nuttin' major. Edited February 21, 2013 by sketchley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big F Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 So for those of us who didn't get all the issues last time round. I suppose it is pointless trying to fill the gaps with this release.

Yeah... the problem is that the numbering is different for the World Guide sheets, so filing those will be difficult. Other than that, I think it's possible.

Renato Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I don't want to seem like a nit-picker (if I did I would not let you get away with confusing "its" and "it's" ;P ) but whatever word you choose for "Totsugeki" in Totsugeki Love Heart, and I agree that "Storming" is probably just as good as any, it is still "Love Heart" and not "Love Hurt". Aside from that I also thought that the 90s band-boom and band-antagonism aspect was interesting when I read the issue, so I'm glad you translated it to share with all.

(Another way to look at it is: I've opted for quantity over quality, and this is the best we get despite proofreading, 'cuz I gots 3 kids playing (fighting more often then not) around me legs whilst I'm doing it. >.<) Editing the pages now (just the episode ones, right?) EDIT: fixed. The 3 episode sheets, and the all series guide (which had those offending it's). The one plus is that the heart/hurt was consistent...

sketchley Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Partials: Episode MF 03A&B "On Your Marks": http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRepisode/F03ABeps3.php Commentary: for some reason, I find the M7 episode sheets more enlightening than the MF ones. This one does have a few nuggets, mind you. Maybe it's just 'cuz I'm not an MF fan? History F 01A: Sheryl Nome Concert: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRhistory/F01ASherylNomeConcert.php Commentary: the extra reports were quite expansive on this one (if it weren't for the stack of other sheets in the to-do box, it'd have been completely translated). There are also a few text changes in this one. On a related note, I've been noticing on a couple of sheets in a few spots that the editors of the Revised Edition are changing some of the font settings (either reducing size by 1 point, removing bold or changing the font (MS Gothic to MS PGothic?)). It's an extremely subtle change, but it begs the question: why are they doing it? It's not like they've freed up a bunch of space for more images or something.

I bet it has to do with font availability or licensed use of said fonts, seen this sort of thing before. A friend of mine is in the print business, and recently spent ages with a client trying to find an except-able alternative font, when the one the client wanted was out of his price range due to the Licence not being freely available, eventually they found an "acceptable" one.

Gubaba Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) "Destroids" has been moved from Technology Sheet 2 to Technology Sheet 3... I wonder what the new (Number) 2 will be...?

sketchley Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 And it looks like the Episode Sheet for The False Diva will have a C and D sheet as well... I concur. Episode sheets (both TV and OVA series) appear to be 2 per episode. Movies... 4? 6? Full translation: - Sheryl Nome x VF-171EX / Ranka Lee: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRheroine/HeroineGalleryMF.php#SherylNomexVF-171EX This is the first of these sheets where the artwork is nice on BOTH sides. Partials - continuing the extra reports theme: Goods 01 Yamato 1/60 Perfect Transformation VF-0: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRgoods/01YamatoPerfectTransformingVF-0.php Goods 07 Pachi-Slot Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRgoods/07PachiSlotSDFM.php For some reason, I ended up translated all or almost all of the reverse on both sheets. Weird. Anyhow, not quite as enlightening as I hoped it would be, but at least we know what the sheets say and what to expect on similar sheets...

Mechanic Zero UN 03A: VF-0D Phoenix: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/ZEROun03AVF-0D.php - I found this one quite enlightening; fleshes out the back story of the VF and adds a bit of heretofore unknown info on the VF-0's development.

Mechanic: SDFM UN 02D: VF-1J Valkyrie: http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRmechanic/SDFMun02DVF-1J.php Found parts of this quite enlightening. Not so much the extra report, but the details on the transformation mechanism, and the arm hard-point. The drastic change in text from the original in one section is telling - stems from a communication error? Skimming the rest of the sheet, I'm left with the impression that the remainder of the text is stuff like "this goes there, that folds here". Partial Slapped up in PHP: Timeline 06A: Revival of the "Bird Man" (Zero): http://sketchleystats.webatu.com/Trans/MCRtimeline/Timeline06A.php No real differences from the original.

Gubaba Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) #6 has no new art - that I can see - but I certainly hope you are right Oops... yeah, you're right. Oh well, 79 new pics wouldn't be too bad, either. EDIT: Of course, the main difference seems to be that for the main Valks (VF-1J, YF-19, etc.) both the A and B sheets have Tenjin pics, as opposed to just the A sheet (as was the case last time). Plus, we're getting a Tenjin pic of the VF-19P, which didn't have one last time. I assume that trend will continue... (Dare I hope for a Tenjin pic of Kaifun's six-wheeled sedan...?)
