New 00 Side-stories

I’ve seen these mentioned elsewhere already but didn’t really see anything backing it up until someone posted this on /m/:

1255211499572

As I, and I’m sure a lot of other people, suspected 00P and 00V are being succeeded by new series, 00N and 00V Senki respectively. There’ll probably be a preview dealy in the next issues of Hobby Japan/Dengeki Hobby and Gundam Ace at the end of the month. Also smiley days is saying that Graham’s Come Across CD is due out in December sometime.

Someone should keep me away from YJ! Auctions…

Won 2 auctions of 60 Gundam 00 doujins each today. I have nfc what I’m gonna do with 120 doujins, most of which I really don’t care about (I wonder if anyone can guess which ones I was interested in–pictures are from the auction, I don’t have them yet).  I’m thinking I should sell the ones I don’t want/duplicates, but I’ll probably have to figure out Paypal first. Anyhow, look at the ginormous pile of doujinshi I just bought:

Animedia/mage November

Looks like there’s some interesting stuff in the 2ch thread. Dumping images/moon as I find it, will start translating once I get through the thread backlog (this is what I get for trying to go to bed at a normal time for once). Just dumping new looking pictures (they don’t always give sources, most of these are from the tripfag I can’t ever get the upup links to work).

Stuff (keeping the post #s on for reference):

585: From Animedia re: the movie:
- Something new incident is starting to happen at Jupiter
- The stage for the story is the solar system {lit. it says “Earth’s neighborhood” I could be overreaching with “solar system”}
- The number of remaining GN drives is a secret.
And that’s about all they wrote.

699: ◆owbpUI/cLOCU
The director says some really interesting things concerning Regene’s addition to SE 1.

There were quite a lot of Innovedo and potential Innovators in the world at the end of the series. {I think this is a question, what follows is Mizushima’s answer, same with the next chunk}
In the movie those kinds of beings will be appearing, and without them we couldn’t tell the story of 00.

Are you confirming that Innovedo will be appearing in the movie?
After the insertion of Ribbons’ POV in the SE, Regene’s position is very important.
Just how long has Regene been operating?

FFFFFFFFF Now I really want the SE (Though I get the distinct feeling that Mizushima’s trolling a bit).

145 &213: ◆owbpUI/cLOCU

Just paraphrasing this one. According to Animedia, Neil’s death is shown in the SE (like him actually dying).

612: ◆owbpUI/cLOCU
That reminds me, the director said something to the effect of “It would be nice if Tieria put his mind into a new body.”

And there go my hopes for holo-Tieria. ;~;

[EDIT] k, skimmed the other stuff, doesn’t look super interesting/new imo, I’ll take a closer look when I get back from class. And on a vaguely related note, someone in the main spoiler thread did a search-tally of character popularity (I’m guessing on the 2ch board but he didn’t specify It’s pixiv tags, thank you anon):

Tieria – 7882
Al – 5076
Lockon – 4116
Setsuna – 4111
Hal – 2033
Graham – 1624
Soma – 1079
Anew – 712
Marina – 577
Billy – 570
Patrick – 516
Louise – 454
Ribbons – 453
Revive – 416
Hiling – 298

Poor Hiling ;_; (probably not the most accurate count for some characters though, since some of them have nick/shortened names that the poster might not have accounted for, but interesting nonetheless)

[EDIT] Read through kouryakukan’s report, nothing really significant added (the character features were summarized but it’s all stuff we already know/is painfully obvious–Tieria slowly learned to understand human feelings; Neil thinks of CB like a family; blah blah blah, heard it 100 times already–so I’m not bothering with it). There were some more little details in Mizushima’s comments about the movie (the rest was pretty much the same):

The new Gundams play a big part in the movie. Please look forward to what the Gundams were up to in the world several years after the end of the series.

Animage is pretty much worthless this month in terms of new information.

NT November Issue

[EDIT] Alright, looks like it’ll be a while before Animedia/mage news appears so this is now the NT post.

Gonna use this post to dump whatever I find, NT looks boring so far, but everyone in the thread keeps joking about how Allelujah was the only one left out of the main spread this month (ahaha I love it):

vlippan018697

Still catching up on the threads from a few hours ago because I just got up, but the person with NT says there’s nothing particularly interesting/spoilery in it this month. No word on Animedia/mage yet.

[EDIT] Kouryakukan’s NT post is up. I’ve gotta leave for class soon so just skimming it for interesting stuff (paraphrased mostly):

The 4th novel’s release date is given as 11/1 in NT, contrary to what Smiley Days reported the other day (it’s only a day different so meh).

Interview with Kenji Nagasaki:
- Ribbons will be out in the open from the beginning
- Kuroda’s initial arrangement for SEI ended up being over 2 hours long, so they’ve been cutting it down from there
- Teraoka is in charge of the new episode 6 battle scene
- Saji and Louise’s ring scene has new music

SEI [extras]:
- 00 Movie News Flash {a trailer maybe? idk}
- Creditless ED
- Commentary
- Special 16P booklet
And something about a special jacket for preordering/first press.

Ebikawa: “A cleaned up version of 00 Quanta from the PV will be shown soon.”

And the rest is related to the ムチャぶりMISSION! 4koma.

S2 Novel 3 Excerpt #3

Original text [scans]

This is from around episode 12. Revive and Bring just got back from getting their asses handed to them. Ribbons slaps Wang and all that good stuff. The POV is all over the fucking place in this though, there’s one obvious shift into Regene’s perspective but in the middle of Revive’s section Ribbons’ thoughts show up for a couple lines for no fucking reason (I can’t imagine it’s anyone other than Ribbons, this should be from Revive’s POV, but he doesn’t talk like that). I’m putting the Ribbons thought lines in green or something because it’s weird. I really need to go back over this later and edit it because some parts are a real mess.

IN THIS SECTION: Bring and Revive are not happy about getting their asses kicked by humans; Ribbons isn’t happy about it either; Regene gloats to himself about successfully trolling Ribbons and seeing Wang get slapped, lulz ensue (literally).

S2 Novel 3 MSC Excerpt #2

Original text [scans]

Another Hiling related excerpt. I forget what episode this is from, but it’s after the first Memento Mori was destroyed and Nena comes in and saves Setsuna and is creepy. Anyhow! In this section: Having had her ass handed to her by the 00, Hiling fears the impending laughter of her comrades in the face of her failure. Poor Hiling.

[EDIT] This is at the end of episode 13 (the last novel 3 excerpt was at the beginning of the episode), BD rips just finished downloading so I went and checked. Most of the actual dialogue matches up with the episode (there are a few extra lines in the novel and of course we’re seeing all this from Hiling’s POV rather than Setsuna/neutral so more internal stuff).

[EDIT II] S2 Novel 4 was finally announced. It’s titled “Anew Return” and should be out at the end of the month. Sunrise, you’re making it really hard for me to pretend Anew doesn’t exist. Also NT/Animedia/mage usually leak today/tomorrow-ish.

S2 Novel 3 MSC Excerpt

Original Text [scans]

[EDIT] On an unrelated note, this layout looks really crowded on my laptop… I’m so used to seeing it on my 24″ screen….

This from chapter 3 section 2, the scans are the whole of chapter 3-2 but I only translated a part of it (the beginning is Lindt being incompetent and the end bit involves Nena; this part is it’s own scene though–I didn’t just cut off the action in the middle anywhere). This is somewhere around episode 11 I think 13. I numbered the pages this time because it’s not the entire sub-chapter. Anyway. IN THIS EXCERPT: Hiling fightan Katharon, A-LAWS are sad that they have to blow up Flags; Hiling’s boobs; A-LAWS hit on Hiling, but she has none of it; 00 shows up and Hiling wants to make it a present for Ribbons.

S2 Novel 3 Epilogue

Original Text: [scans]

Yeah, another pro/epilogue–they’re short and don’t require reading other parts of the novel to figure out what’s going on, so basically they require less efforts than other sections. Also Innovators. Anyway, ITC Ribbons is an fabulously arrogant motherfucker: Read More…

S2 Novel 2 Prologue

Original Text: [scans]

This is the prologue to S2 Novel 2. I translated a chunk of it earlier, but now that I actually know what’s going on I think it makes a bit more sense. Also, this is another case of first person internal monologue and 3rd person narration not being differentiated explicitly in the text–I’ve ittalicized Revive’s thoughts, though, again, I could be reading some of those lines into 1st person when they should be 3rd. Also, I fucking love novel Regene. I would pay just to hear Paku and Saiga do that bit at the end. Read More…

00 S1 Novel 1 Epilogue

Original text: [scans]

It doesn’t seem like very much was lost in the translation of the Chinese translation that’s been around for a while, but there were a couple of little things (punny things mainly) that obviously didn’t carry. I suspect we’ll see something similar to this in SE I. It’s kind of sad that these three short pages constitute like 90% of Ribbons’ character development and it wasn’t even included in the series proper. Read More…
