Back on the subject of Yukikaze for a second....
If anyone is up to the challenge of translating the novels, I'd be glad to loan out my copies to that end
And personally, I love Macross Zero and Yukikaze equally. I think Macross Zero has better action sequences, but I like Yukikaze's mecha designs a lot more. Hell, I love em so much, I spent ~$130 each on resin model kits of the Supersylph and Mave! But they were worth it ^_^
