The same is going on for the original Gundam series, [EG] Zeta Gundam and Great Mazinga.

How are they in comparison to W-B's work?

Hey, I'm Yot-chan from Galaxy Network (I handle all the translations and QC issues: A couple of other guys do all the ripping and encoding).

If you just want to SEE the original Macross show, W-B or AnimeFriends is probably a better bet. The files are smaller, and W-B has the added attraction of the English dub. But I think our rips look better, and we're using the 2008 R2 DVD remaster, which isn't as colorful as the R1 remaster, but has A LOT more detail.

As for the subs, the translation is mostly a mashup of the AnimeEigo and ADV subs, with a few additions of my own in places where I think it's necessary (for example, some of the slang that both versions use sounds a little dated. Also, occasionally a line from the show will get reused later in Frontier, and I want to make sure that the same line works in both contexts...although, admittedly, that hasn't happened yet in the series).

But really, the SDFM remaster is just the icing on the cake. The REAL reason for Galaxy Network's existence will be released soon, and I think it's going to make old-timey fans very, very happy.

Will be waiting for Galaxy to finish it. Keep it up!
