GUNDAM X UNDER THE MOONLIGHT [Chapter.11]

There comes a time when bitching really starts to get on your nerves. I guess you can say that a crack in my normally thick skin allowed a complaint (or several) to slip in. Attributed to several of /m/’s bitchy anons, I sat down and blew the dust off (quite literally) my copies of Gundam X Under the Moonlight. This is a project we haven’t touched in over four years, the last volume coming out in October of 2007. Yikes! Needless to say jumping back in without rereading anything is really proving to be a challenge for me, but I think it’s worth it. You won’t be seeing the other two volumes available outside of the gallery for a while because they need to be upscaled and a fresh translation is needed too. That’ll happen at some point in the future. At any rate, please enjoy Chapter.11 “Now is that any way to speak to your parent?”.

Concept Design for the series comes via Takashi Imanishi of Gundam 0083 and MS IGLOO fame. The story will be chronicling Chief Petty Officer Cuaran of the 908th Mobile Reconnaissance Company. You can view the installment in our gallery (or below). I’ve also got a data page up for the series here as well.

Crossbone Sections

I’ve added a Crossbone Gundam Ghost section on both the information page as well as the release page. Next up I’ll have the “U.C. Hardgraph Iron Mustang” sections =)

CROSSBONE GUNDAM -GHOST- [PREVIEW]

The following is a preview from the latest issue of Gundam Ace. The manga series begins next month with a 51 page special first chapter!

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM TREASURE STAR

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM TREASURE STAR
NOVEMBER.2011 ISSUE

EPISODE.02 DIGEST

– Daiki’s Gundam Age-1 is the “Treasure Star design”
– It’s different than Flit’s Unit:

– Flit’s unit has the “A” (For the AGE SYSTEM)
– Daiki’s unit has a “T” (For Treasure Star?)
– On the left shoulder: a specially made painting of a shooting star

– The performance variation vs Flit’s unit is unknown
– Opinions concerning Daiki’s unit:
– It’s made from junk parts that the Treasure Star picked up in outer space. Flit’s the only one who made the real Gundam and can pilot it.
– Flit withdraws without coming into contact with Daiki due to his superior’s orders.
– New characters appear on the Treasure Star:

– Wezen (Male/narcissist)
– Mirzam (Male/計算博士? Calculus Professor?)
– Fuld (Male/macho)

The Law of the Treasure Star:

– (1) Don’t consider your friend’s dreams stupid
– (2) Always stand by your friends

– Kotetsu’s Genoace appears

– A full armor-like Genoace unit
– Beam rifle, bazooka, machine gun, missile pod, etc (The full loadout is named Kotetsu Genoace Asura Mode) — Deacky note: probably from Buddhism: Asura
– Signature move is “Kotetsu’s Iron Plate Secret Asura Arm” (Or hot plate?) The naming comes from the fact that he’s trying to become the #1 chef in outer space so the origin of it is from his forte: okonomiyaki

– The Treasure Star can shoot a weapon container from the “revolver container”. Kotetsu’s Genoace is stored in the container.
– Although Kotetsu’s Genoace fights hard against a coordinated attack by the Gafrans, it rescues Daiki’s Gundam Age-1 and is defeated.
– Daiki’s father is the first captain who created the ship.
– Messages from Daiki’s father continue to flow from the Haro he has.

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE -Hajimari no Monogatari-

Appearing in Shounen Sunday, Zeonic|Scanlations presents yet another adaptation of the Mobile Suit Gundam AGE universe. Scans are courtesy of AE Media (they’re crappy and unusual for us to use). Hopefully better quality will turn up in the future. I’m not sure if this will be a continuing project for us as it would be contingent upon available raw scans.

Mobile Suit Gundam Age Episode.01 Script

For those who are interested, I’ve put up a Japanese & English script of the first episode here.

Toward Tomorrow Lyrics

Certainly not my best translation…

僕らが見上げた明日の太陽
空の雲凍って降り注いだ

bokura ga miageta ashita no taiyou
sora no kumo kootte furisosoida

we looked up at the sunlight of tomorrow
as the clouds in the sky poured down their freezing rain

心の隙間を狙って突き刺さる歌
止めていた時間が動き出して

kokoro no sukima wo neratte tsukisasaru uta
tometeita jikan ga ugokidashite

a song that gets into the cracks of our heart and pierces through
as time that had stop starts moving

希望の光に向かう道は
間違いじゃないと自分で決めたんだ

kibou no hikari wo mukau michi wa
machigai ja nai to jibun de kimetanda

so we headed towards a road lighted by hope
and I decided for myself it wasn’t wrong

開いていく天の窓から刺すような胸の痛み
眩しすぎるほど

hiraiteiku ten no mado kara sasu you na mune no itami
mabushisugiru hodo

from the open window of heaven came a sharp pain in my heart
it’s far too radiating

進化する日々 進化する歌は
馳せる 馳せる 馳せる 馳せる

shinka suru hibi shinka suru uta wa
haseru haseru haseru haseru

the evolving days, the evolving song
tells us to run, run, run, run

錆びないように
終わりのない 終わりのない

sabinai you ni
owari no nai owari no nai

so that we don’t fade away
forever and forever

明日へ 明日へ 明日へ 明日へ
もう 走っている

asu e asu e asu e
mou hashitteiru

we’re already running
towards tomorrow, towards tomorrow, towards tomorrow, towards tomorrow

November Gundam Ace Details

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM AGE –FIRST EVOLUTION–

We’re treated to a preview installment of the new Gundam Age mange titled “First Evolution”. The manga is by Katsuragi Hiyon. So far there is really nothing special to report, but the first installment will be 80 pages long starting next month. I’ll have preview images up in the near future.

DESERT U.C.0079

To tide us over until next month, Katsuragi Hiyon illustrated a Universal Century sidestory manga that takes place around Odessa. His characters have plenty of detail and his mechanic stylings are very similar to those done by Ark Performance, only slightly less detailed.

FROZEN TEARDROP

I outlined the details in another posting. Catherine is pictured in this installment sporting some long hair… and damn does she look good! I’m noticing some tie-ins to Alice in Wonderland now… specifically at the beginning…

MOBILE SUIT CROSSBONE GUNDAM GHOST

We’re treated to a two page spread regarding the new project by Yuuichi Hasegawa that starts in the December issue of Gundam Ace on sale November 26th. The tag line is “That is a machine that shouldn’t exist.”

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM U.C. HARD GRAPH –THE ROAR OF STEEL HORSES–

Preview installment for the upcoming manga series. This time we learn who the main character is: Chief Petty Officer Cuaran. Those of you astute enough may remember him from Episode.14 of Mobile Suit Gundam “Time, Be Still“. He led the young Zeon soldiers with a team of Wappa’s to place bombs on the Gundam.

Gundam Age Info

COLONY DESTROYER: A gigantic weapon used by the Gafran when the space colony Nora was attacked. It has the power to inflict lethal damage to a colony. UE mobile suit types generally have internalized weaponry it’s thought to be an exceptional strategic weapon.

An Important Message

Hello everyone.

I’m going to take a moment to reflect on something that has happened in my community recently which has struck a very deep chord with me. Last week, on September 18th, a young 14-year-old boy committed suicide because he was bullied at school for being gay. His name was Jamey Rodemeyer. This came several months after he posted a video to the “It Gets Better” project to help other adolescent teens cope with their emotions by telling them that as time goes by, things will get better.

While I didn’t know Jamey personally, nor had I ever spoken to him, I was in a similar situation when I was in high school many moons ago which is why this hit me so hard. He was vocal online with his problems and often wondered just what it would take for people to realize how much he was bullied. Sadly, he decided to take his life so that the world over would be aware of what he had endured for so long. It was a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Growing up, I too had contemplated suicide because I was confused about my sexuality. I endured torments from my peers after word had gotten out that I ‘may or may not’ like guys.

He was an ardent follower of Lady Gaga, taking to heart many lyrics from her Born this Way album. Shortly before his untimely passing, he tweeted “Mother Monster” with a heartfelt thanks for what she has done for him, before saying farewell. Just recently, Lady Gaga paid tribute to him in one of her performances, which was something that brought tears to my eyes. It was an selfless act on her part, which has turned many peoples’ opinions towards her around. She told fans in her performance that “bullying is for losers”. I wholeheartedly agree. However, just as much as I agree with this, I’m just as guilty for doing it in the past. I think we’ve all had our fair share of being bullied or being the bully. This fact is undeniable.

So, I’d like for people to take a moment to reach out to friends, your brothers, your sisters, your cousins… anyone who you think may be the victim of bullying, not just because they may be questioning their sexuality, but for any reason: whether they’re fat, nerdy, geeky, questioning, sad, depressed, etc. This shouldn’t continue. People shouldn’t have to suffer.

Regardless of it all, every little bit helps. Whether it’s just reassuring someone by letting them know you are there for them or just having a candid talk out of the blue. Together we can do our part in putting and end to all of this. Educate and reciprocate.

Frozen Teardrop Info

– This month is Chapter 13. “Nocturne of Sorrow III”
– Trowa (original) and Catherine migrated to Mars in the beginning of summer MC-0014.
– Around MC-0016 the Martian Federation had deployed Mars Suit, so taking advantage of this Trowa and Catherine started to volunteer for the eradication of war.

– Aware of the two, WuFei called Trowa.
– WuFei and Trowa cooperate and try and develop a Gundam but they reach the limits of the software.
– Following that, Trowa meets with Quatre again and following a request from WuFei, he discovers 4 Gundanium alloy mobile suits in addition to the prototype “Snow White”.
– Trowa cooperates with Quatre in the refitting of the 4 units.
– Around this time Trowa and Quatre adopt the names Instructor W and Doktor T.

– And then, in the beginning of winter MC-0021, they discover the Gundam Epyon hidden in the Lanagrin Republic.
– The basic design data of the Gundam was also in the memory of the ZERO system.
– With the basis of this data, WuFei (Master Chang) would complete Nataku a year later.

– Meanwhile, Trowa and the others searched for the pilot of the Gundam.
– Quaterine and Nameless (Trowa Phobos) become friends and Duo’s son who had started practice is contacted.
– It’s because a pilot with the physical and mental abilities equal to Heero was needed.

* Trowa’s reflection ends here and the time shifts back to the present.

– Doktor T and Catherine are chasting after Quaterine with the submersible carrier “Showhook 2” (I haven’t the slightest idea what ショーフック is.
– And then Heero and Duo (Jr.). Duo (Jr) chides (?) Catherine calling her an “old lady”. When Doktor T sees that Duo doesn’t even flinch/fate after being socked by Catherine, they have heartfelt admiration that he’s truly a soldier.
– Because Heero, who was in a sleep capsule for so long, is exhausted from the ZERO system, he’s put into a medical capsule by Quatre.

– The submersible carrier surfaces on the Elysium sea.
– Duo’s Warlock sortied.
– Meanwhile, 12 manned MS sortie from Elysium island.
– The enemy units are identified as the “Heart of Queen” (lol this is the name of a race horse)
– A unit is piloted by Naina.
– Naina, piloting a “Heart of Queen”, engages Duo’s Warlock wielding a beam sword.
– The two clash in battle, with beam scythe and beam sword:

* Naina babes, how ya doin’?
* It’s been a while, Duo.
* I’ve brought sandwiches, won’t you eat with me?
* They’re handmade!
* I’ve got a murderous appetite (uh wha?)
* But it’s your favorite chicken and ham!”

– Just like a picnic conversation only at a high speed and attacking one another, they confront one another while descending to the volcanic island.

零れ落ちた涙が
今日も星になり、静かに見守っている

宇宙(そら)をそっと抱きしめた
終わらない痛みの奥で
動き出す儚い希望は
往くべき道を、示し導いている

gently embracing the sky
in the depths of this never-ending pain
is a fleeting wish to be alive
guiding me down the path I should take

even if I lose the light, I’ll hold fast to my heart
this smiling face until the day we meet

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE Treasure Star Info

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM AGE TREASURE STAR

STORY

Daiki is lead to meet the mobile suit Gundam by words left behind by his father: “grand wings”. So he sets off on an adventure into the great unknown of outer space.

CHARACTERS

Daiki Ryuuzaki: Main character who yearns for adventure in outer space. He pilots the Gundam AGE-1 left behind by his father to fend off the invading UE in the colony he lives in. With that passion he’ll lose to no one.

Daiki’s Father: A mobile suit pilot who once operated and developed the Gundam AGE-1. Sixi years prior, he went missing during a battle with the invading UE, leaving behind the Gundam AGE-1.

Sirius: He’s the leader of the space caravan “Treasure Star” sharing in the adventures with Daiki. He has a love for curry.

Kotetsu: Member of the Treasure Star. A friend of Sirius who has his eye on becoming the best chef in outer space.

Lhuga: Member of the Treasure Star. LOVES money?! A remarkable mobile suit pilot.

Flit Asuno: You all know who he is by now.

MECHA

Gundam AGE-1 Daiki Version: A mobile suit developed so that Daiki’s father could galavant around in outer space with his former collegues. Only Daiki has the ability to activate it. While the outward appearance of the suit is identical to that of the original, just exactly what it’s abilities are is not clearly known.

Unknown Enemy: An enemy of unknown origins that attacked Daiki’s colony. A menace to space adventurers.

Treasure Star: A super-high-speed mobile ship that the caravan members live on. Because it boasts of a high level of speed in outer space, the inside is all cluttered up because its members do whatever they please.

MISCELLANEOUS

Grand Wings: A legendary treasure that sleeps somewhere in outer space.

Deacky’s Notation: Sounds interesting and all, but I don’t feel like buying YET ANOTHER manga magazine just to have another project. I’ll wait for the compilation version.
