Translation needed, re: movie 2

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

All right, so I've got what are basically blueprints for the Hikoukyu, but I can't read a word of it. Anyone up to the task of translating this page for me? And does anyone know where I could find the ship's dimensions?

 

[QuietDragon]

... SO awesome. o.o

I cannot read anything that makes any sense to me, nor can I read entire words. ... I got Jirarudan though! xD; -lame-

 

[Dogasu]

I can take a stab at it after I get off work tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Yay!

Also, where the heck is it from? I got the "art of" book hoping it would be in there, but no luck.

 

[Adamant]

Isn't it from that small booklet that was handed out in theaters?

 

[Zhen Lin]

I watched movie 8 in a cinema in Japan. The movie booklet sure wasn't small, and it wasn't cheap either.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Isn't it from that small booklet that was handed out in theaters?

Nope. I have the program book and no such thing appears in it.

 

[Kasumi]

Wow. That looks awesome. I hope someone translates what it says there.

 

[Dogasu]

I'll hopefully have it ready tonight...I've had tons of real world stuff preventing me from sitting down and translating this.

 

[Murgatroyd]

Here's my quick translation.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Very awesome. Sense of aesthetics, very nice.

Dogasu, I'd like to see your translation too. And can anyone get what the various treasures marked are?

 

[Dogasu]

What I got around to translated doesn't sound too different from what Murgatroyd posted. Though I'd trust his translation over mine any day.

And the text denoting what treasure's what is too tiny for me to read. Plus, it has lots of handwritten kanji without furigana, so even if the image was more clear, I'd still have trouble with it.

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Damn! I suppose I'll have to find the book it's from to make a larger scan of that area then (there's gotta be *someone* here who can translate kanji).

 

[Zhen Lin]

It's hard to read scribbles. Well, it isn't that bad, but still not exactly the most ideal handwriting...

 

[Dogasu]

Especially when artists are stereotyped as having terrible handwriting.

 

[Birdyspot]

Seeing all these technical drawings really makes me want to go back and rework my half-finished CG model of the Hikoukyuu. It's been what, 6 years?

I love the bit about the Gallery. ^_^

 

[Blackjack Gabbiani]

Doooo it. I've seen it, it's great.

I wish it were real blueprints, though. I'd love to see the layout. What we've seen doesn't include private quarters, and I'd imagine he'd have a library and stuff on board...
