Animage 09/1979 - Thoughts on "Amuro and His Mother"

In honor of Amuro's birthday, here's a translation of an article written by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, character designer and animation director of Mobile Suit Gundam from the September 1979 issue of Animage

Chibi Reinhard dressed as a vampire and Kircheis dressed as a knight with pumpkin accents on his armor and a sword.

Happy Halloween 🦇🎃

Cover of SF Adventure from November 1985. The background is blue with a woman in the foreground holding a sword

Introductory page for The Star Crusher. A man with long hair (I assume Reinhard?) is on the right, with a ship to his left

A man with the alliance beret in front of a different ship

A man looking to the side at some buildings with many columns in the distance

Predating the OVA and manga designs, Kow Yokoyama's illustrations accompanied LOGH Gaiden in SF Adventure magazine. Here's a few pictures of the 11/1985 issue that includes the first part of The Star Crusher.

Chibi Reinhard and Yang sitting at a table together

The board game during two player mode. It looks basically the same aside from two player icons

Out of curiosity, I checked what two player mode looks like too because I realized I hadn't tried that yet (and it looks like that might be what's in the ad screenshot). Mostly the same but Reinhard and Yang edited together in the intro is pretty cute.

Ad for the game with chibi Yang and Reinhard from the box art. There are some early screenshots at the bottom

Zoom in on one of the screenshots. It looks like an earlier version of the board game, with different graphics and UI

Screenshot from the board game as seen in the final release

Random thing I stumbled across today, the screenshot used in this ad for the Chibi Chara Game is from what looks to be an earlier build of the board game (last image is from the released version for comparison)

Opening screen with the logo. In front are Reinhard and Yang jumping across circles that represent board game spaces. In the back is Schenkopp peeking out of one of these circles, and Mittermeyer and Frederica sitting and standing on one respectively. In the far back is upside down Oberstein.

Char in his 0079 attire in front of a zoomed in picture of his Gelgoog. English text reads: Detailed Research In To Char Aznable

Looking into something Char related I could do for November. I might check out one of the old magazine articles I haven't read through yet (this one is from The Anime, 1981)

Reinhard and Kircheis in FPA uniforms. Reinhard has a hand on his chin and thinking while Kircheis stands beside him with his hands behind his back

Day 4: Role Swap (Alliance Reinhard and Kircheis)

Chibi Kircheis and Reinhard lounging in the grass under the night sky. Kircheis is turned to him and saying something. Subtitle: They held more hopes and dreams than anyone

It's been a couple weeks, but I'm back to working on disc 2 of the chibi chara game. I'm aiming to have both the article and subs done by the end of the month

Loran with his arms spread out facing the full moon in the night sky. Subtitle: Everybody! Come back soon!

Finally getting back to watching Turn A 🌕

Kircheis holding Reinhard bridal style with an awkward smile. Reinhard is excitedly telling him something with sparkles all around

Day 3: Kircheis and Reinhard (Fujisaki version)

Judau in his red jacket, yellow shirt, and black pants mid jump with one hand extended and one hand in a fist. He is smiling with a wink.

Reposting some old art for Judau's birthday 🎂

Julian in a light purple shirt and white apron. He's holding Admiral (his cat with white and dark brown markings) and smiling with his eyes closed. Admiral is nuzzling his face happily.

Day 2: Julian and Admiral

Reinhard looking to the side while holding his locket

If you're only interested in the animated segments, here's a video with both. I'm planning on subbing the cutscenes from Disc 2 for fun as well.

Chibi Chara Game Legend of the Galactic Heroes (PS1) – GO! GO! Casino [Disc 1]

Let's play through this odd little LoGH spin-off game from 1999. This covers the first disc, a minigame collection with two unlockable animated shorts.

Julian from logh in his orange pilot suit, holding his helmet. Behind him is his spartanian fighter craft

Julian⭐

what are they whispering about? 🤔

Unfinished black and white line art of Julian in his pilot suit. He's holding his helmet under his right arm.

Julian wip

I'll be pretty busy these next couple of weeks, but I plan to keep working on the articles and subtitles for the chibi game as I'm able. Hoping to fit in a little drawing time too

Two page spread. On the right are Char, who is looking left with his hand in a fist, Quess, and Nanai, who is looking down at Quess disapprovingly. On the left in Amuro is his pilot suit reaching out towards Char while Chan holds him back.

Road to Char's Counterattack - Animedia 12/1987

Getting back to Gundam articles and pre-release CCA coverage with this feature in Animedia, including comments from Hiroyuki Kitazume and a few others from the new generation of staff working on the film.

Chibi Julian holding a deck of cards in one hand and pointing with the other

Old auction listing for a cel of this same Julian artwork. It sold for 3200 yen

Chibi Poplin with a big goofy smile and his hands behind his head

Old auction listing for a cel of this same Poplin artwork. It sold for 2500 yen

Found some old Mandarake auction listings for cels of character art that appears in the Chibi Chara game. Odd how Poplin's hair color is correct on the cel but instead appears brown in game

The player insert character sitting cross-legged on the bridge, viewed from behind. They're flustered by Yang giving orders on the big screen in front of them

Yang in his white uniform falling asleep

Oberstein looking over at his dog while he sits at his desk.

Reinhard talking to Mittermeyer, Kircheis, the player insert character, and Reuenthal

Finished the game. I'm not sure how long it'll take me to pull this all together, but I'm planning on a separate post for each disc that will cover both the gameplay and animated segments

Board game with some spaces filled with a blue and yellow star pattern and others an orange and green heart. A sprite of a little Empire guy is on a space next to dice. The background is the Brunhild and other ships in space

Reinhard at his desk congratulating the player on a new rank. Oberstein is ominously off to the side

So disc 2 is a board game that you need to beat 10 times (5 for each faction) at different ranks to get all the endings. I guess we'll see how long this takes...

Frederica smiling and looking to the left while playing with her hair

Frederica doodle

Reinhard smiling and giving a toast after I won at solitaire

Playing a memory match game. Jack of clubs and hearts are both on screen, with art of Reuenthal and Mittermeyer respectively

Julian looking rather distraught that he lost a card game

Finally started playing the LoGH chibi-chara game I got a few months back. It's been a little while since I did a write up about a game, so I'll plan on doing that once I finish both discs. Might be an opportunity to practice video subbing again too

That's so cool! I recognize the name from the credits of the LoGH LaserDisc subtitles. I'm so grateful for all of their work!
