GUBABA, WHATS NEW WITH THE PRODUCTION NOTES AT THE END? LOOKS MORE INTERESTING. YOU MIND TRANSLATING?

Possibly. Looks like a lot of work. I might do the interview with Hidetaka Tenjin that's at the VERY end of the book (pp. 192-94), since I met him a couple of weeks ago. Nice guy.

GUBABA

So...if he's never actually seen the comic, how can he say that he loved it? And why would he say he's seen the book when he hasn't?

HAHAHA

OK.. MY FAULT. I HAD SOME TIME THROUGH FIVE DAYS TO PASS TIME SO JUAN DOES NOT HAVE THE BOOK. BUT HE SEEN IT. SO BLAME ME. HOW YOU THINK HE GOT THE IMAGE OF THE COVER?

NOW THIS

Anyway, you're missing my point. Sure, you can talk about the cover all you want (for an hour, though? Isn't that a little excessive?)

DUDE.. THEY MADE MOVIES OF SINGLE IMAGES!

HECK, FLAG OF OUR FATHERS WAS ONE. A CONTROVERSIAL IMAGE THAT APPEAR IN THE NEWSPAPERS DURING WORLD WAR II. I KNOW YOU CAN THINK OF A FEW.

GREAT!! I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT. THANKS.


AND I WONT PUT ALL IMAGES UP... LEGALITY. I THINK JUAN WONT EITHER IN HIS PAGE.

You took photos of the entire book?!?

Man, I thought *I* was hardcore...

Anyway, I think you'll be pleased with Volume 2, and NOT just because Minmay has a shower scene in it...

hahaha.....Im all for it, I got to say I love this characthers and hope they dont mess it much story wise

I still have my issues but Im all for it

Well, if you enjoy talking about the covers, here are the front covers for the magazine...

Issue #001 (January 2009):



Issue #002 (June 2009):


Issue #003 (November 2009):


Issue #004 (March 2010):


Issue #005 (June 2010):


Since you've already gotten two podcasts out of the book cover, I'm guessing that here's enough material for ten more podcasts!

As PTH would say, "No need to thank me, I'm here to help."

I'm so glad that they decided to bring back the original Macross. Sure it will be changed here and there. But people love teh Macross.

Nice looking covers and that should give more fuel for future podcasts.

WHAHAHA... ONE PODCAST WAS ABOUT COMIC CON AND THE ROBOTECH PANEL. GAVE ABOUT A FEW BLURPS ABOUT THE IMAGE ON THE NEW MACROSS FIRST. SO NOTHING THERE REALL.

THE SECOND PODCAST IS THIS TUESDAY. AND JUST GOING A LITTLE OVER THE FEW WHO CANT TAKE JUAN OR MY OPINION JUST FOR WHAT IT IS. AN OPINION. WHERE FANS HAVE TO FOLLOW JUAN TO THE SPANISH SIDE TO EGG HIM EVEN MORE. I GAVE MY OPINION AND MOVED ON BUT SOME FEEL NOT SATISFIED AND WANT TO CHANGE OUR MINDS.


AND SEE, THE MAGAZINE HAS GREAT COVERS FOR WHAT THE MANGA SHOULD HAVE BEEN. BUT OH WELL... FANSERVICE AT IT'S BEST I GUESS.

HEHEHE

Very true...that's called "discussion," I believe.

Or worst, I suppose. I'm not too thrilled with the cover myself, but it doesn't, y'know, OFFEND me or anything. It never occurred to me that Okoge the ferret-thing was screwing Minmay until Juan brought it up (and it STILL doesn't look like it to me...).

But really, I blame the publishers. For some reason, Japanese marketing teams have decided that mecha doesn't "sell." Look, for example at the promotional work for Macross Frontier, Code Geass, and New Evangelion Movies. Half the time, you'd never know that mecha was involved at all.

Actually in all fairness, blame MEMO for planting that idea into his head. Its the first thing he was telling me at Comic Con.

Again, by the same token you could say that we just gave our opinions and you guys went as "far" as to podcast about it. Let's just call it for what it is.

Ruffling feathers is good for site activity. Since nothing ever happens in ROBOTECH, controversy spikes activity as usual.

SIGH

Ruffling feathers is good for site activity. Since nothing ever happens in ROBOTECH, controversy spikes activity as usual.

AGAIN... NOT MY IMAGE FOR THE FIRST COVER TO REPRESENT MACROSS. ESPECIALLY BY THE FIRST DESIGNER.

I DO GIVE YOU THAT AND GUBABA. IT DOES MAKE GOOD CONVERSATION.



I LIKE THE MAGAZINE COVERS. THEY SAY MACROSS MORE THAN THE BEAVER HUMP. AT LEAST IS NOT ANIMATED LIKE THAT OF TRANSFORMERS OF THAT SMALL WHEELE TRUCK HUMPING MIKAELA ON THE LEG. ARTISTIC? EVEN THOUGHT THE DAMN THING IS A ROBOT? OR JUST ME THINKING IT OUT TO MUCH?...


LIKE I SAY. IT IS WHAT IT IS AND JUST TO SELL A PRODUCT.
