New Mobile Report Gundam Wing: Frozen Teardrop (2010 Novel)

[Deacon Blues]

Unless you have a Kindle device from Japan, you cannot buy books from there. At least it doesn't work like that for me :S

I do have a kindle device from Japan. I can buy books not only from Amazon Japan but also from Amazon China. Device doesn't matter, what matters is the account. You must have an account of Amazon Japan. You can read it with Apple and Andorid device. With kindle version you will no longer be scanlator, because you don't have to scan books and magazines any more.

Edit:Just now I made a test. With an ipad and USA's IP, I bought a free book from Amazon Japan. I don't mind apply a new account for you

As for pick ups, I grabbed my copy from Amiami. They have really competitive prices as far as imports go, so I grabbed it there. I will be grabbing the new EW and Odds/Evens BR Box Set from there as well.

You can also check out cdjapan, that is who Import the new releases of Glory and Frozen Teardrop from. They get pre orders up early, where as alot of other places take a while, and some never bother with the Novels/Manga.

Ah! That's sounds so sweet!
I did check CDJapan but got a little confused with the description there, for some reason it says that Box Set 2 comes with "Blind Target 1" Drama CD, I think they might have meant the Picture Drama

I think I'll check Amiami but it depends really if they ship to the UK as that is were I live and getting anime over here is a bit of a rarity these days

The only thing to worry is that if your country can activate the account directly or you must use a vpn

not sure about frozen teardrop, but unicorn usually had illustrations from its serialization which were left out of the volumes.

that being said, I'd love that illustration of snow white with the sieben zwerge from volume 6 or 7, iirc

[Elo the Blue]

Thanks a lot gordol. The pics look sick.

Nah, that isn't the Picture Drama, both Box Sets come with a CD Audio Drama of Blind Target, and that is what that listing is meaning.

I have an Amazon Japan account, however, it never lets me download Kindle books to my device I wouldn't be able to purchase my manga and stuff without an amazon japan acct :P

I use the same account for Amazon as I do Amazon Japan (they come up the same). However, there is no way for it to detect the device. It has to be a Japanese kindle, from what I've read and inquired.

Believe it or not, it depends you. Would you like to show me the Atogaki in Vol.9 if you succeed by following my step?

The following steps I think it works for everyone here.
1.Apply a new account in Amazon japan, better a different mail address from your existed account.
2.Set your country as Japan(Point!).Under My Kindle/Country Setting(居住国设定)
3.Sign up with your device（Kindle、Android or Apple device ），Android or Apple device should install a kindle app.
4.Under My Kindle/Country Setting(端末の管理)，to check if your device is in the list.
5.Then choose a free book to enjoy 1-click download.
kindle/kindle本/無料本
6.It should be done by Step 5. But if shows question asking if you are abroad, then you should change your ip.(USA'Ip should be ok)


@Halberd, if you mean this pic?

[Deacon Blues]

No, I tried changing my country listing and it still doesn't work. Because the US versions are locked via the app store, there is no way around registering the kindle for Japanese sales. Heck, even if you leave Japan, they tell you that you cannot access the store anymore. I'll try from my iPhone but I doubt I'll have any luck there.

Edit: I got it to go to my iPhone... now I just have to figure out how to get the damn thing off!

holy shit, that one. thanks a lot!

About the location of vulcans in Epyon, I got this for you from the picture drama

Spoiler for Epyon:

From this photo we can see that the location of the vulcans is somehow below the antenna so it will not conflict with it when it fires

[Halberd]

I don't think those are vulcans. where are you guys getting that the Epyon has any, from the novels?

That is Epyon EW as designed by Katoki. It doesn't have vulcans of any kind. You can double check this on model kit he designed.

Here's a video of the Picture Drama:

[Eeni]

Is it just me, or was anyone else bugged by the fact that WuFei has a helmet and no space suit on? What an awkward wardrobe there...

[IkuzeMinna]

I'm more befuddled by presumably Noin, who's pouring tea into a cup from like half a meter.

[Deacon Blues]

For those interested, Campbell Lane, the narrator for the dubbed version of Gundam Wing passed away.

That's too bad, he did a great job. I'd like to hear dub voices like Jamieson Price or Michael McConnohie step up to the plate if Frozen Teardrop ever becomes an anime and gets dubbed, though.

[Eeni]

That's so sad that Mr. Campbell passed. ;_;

So I was looking back at this old post from Deacon:

Spoiler:

■ MC-0017

Around this time the law and order on Mars was beginning to be disrupted even more. Strife amongst emerging industry, anti-Earth Sphere state and pro-Earth Sphere state opposition, civilian conflicts, etc. The chain of hatred continues.

The Mars Federation government declares the "Martian State Independence" to the Earth Sphere. The right to self-government is won without bloodshed. The representative is the Martian Federation's first president Milliardo Peacecraft. However, he is really the president and representative director of the Neuenheim Concern and Noin's true brother: Dixneuf Neuenheim.

■ MC-0017 FIRST SUMMER

Father Maxwell meets the real Milliardo Peacecraft in the town of Cyrene. Milliardo was pursuing the whereabouts of the stolen Gundam Epyon. Milliardo learns that the Epyon has fallen into the hands of the Neuenheim Concern so he leaves his daughter Naina with Father Maxwell.

■ MC-0017 NEXT SUMMER

Father, who brought Naina to the Schbeiker orphanage, meets Duo (age 4).

■ MC-0018 NEXT WINTER

Naina is almost kidnapped by someone and Milliardo's Tallgeese Heaven destroys four Mars Suits while Father prevents the assassination of four people.

■ MC-0019

Quaterine (age 4) and Stella (age 5) enroll in Saint Minerva Institute for junior high.

■ MC-0020 NEXT AUTUMN

An organization touted as anti-Federation attacks a Martian Federation Forces naval station in the para-terraforming dome where Saint Mineva Instutite is. Quaterine participates in with a Mars Suit using image trace during the battle. In her first battle, 5 of the rebel army's Mars Suits are destroyed.

■ MC-0021 FIRST WINTER

A summit meeting is held at Elsium Island around the Mars equator. Representatives from Earth and Mars are in attendance. President Milliardo Peacecraft (Dixneuf) is assassinated during his speech. The assassin was a young terrorist (later discovered to be Trowa Phobos).

The moment of Dixneuf's death, the "Zechs Merquise" program is initiated. "He" is a residual thought of Milliardo (Zechs) that was in the ZERO SYSTEM of the Gundam Epyon.

Preventer learns that the only remaining Gundanium alloy mobile suit in MC history is the Gundam Epyon which is at the expansive artificial sea nation: the Lanagrin Republic. Through hacking, basic design of the Epyon is obtained.

The young terrorist (No Name) meets Doktor T and Quaterine and is taken in by them.

An important member of the Martian Federation's reformist group defects to the Lanagrin Republic. The representative of the Lanagrin Republic is former Martian Federation secret service General Zech Merquise (residual thought). The Lanagrin Republic declares its independence from the Martian Federation and seceeds. At the same time, they declare war against the Federation.

Trowa Phobos (No Name) and Catherine Bloom undergo training as mobile suit pilots.

■ MC-0022

Instructor W completes Snow White and Warlock. At this point, Doktor T's work on Prometheus and Scheherazade is 80% complete.

■ MC-0022 NEXT SPRING

Relena Peacecraft awakens from her cryostasis.

Relena is elected as the second president of the Mars Federation government. For her inaugural speech, she preaches "total pacifism" through disarmament and non-violence.

Quaterine, accompanied by Marlene Darlian, visits Relena.

I started making calculations again and I've come up with some odd stuff....

Duo Jr. is about 18 years old during the current story. O_o

The timeline saids that he was 4 in MC0017 Next Summer, but I just realized that he was 4 Mars years old, making him about 7-8 Earth years old. He was born MC0013/AC 208. He is currently 18 Earth years old.

Also, Duo started wandering Mars in MC0012 Next Autumn and got into his accident in MC0014. As I recall, Hilde moved out to Mars after he nearly killed himself. So I guess this confirms that Hilde isn't Jr.'s mother after all and that he is indeed Duo's bastard child with some random chick from Mars.... unless Duo isn't Jr.'s father, but then I don't think that Sumizawa would troll us like that.

Quatrine Oud was born MC0015/AC 212. She was 4 Mars years in MC0019 (8 Earth years, AC 220). She is currently 13-14 Earth years old.

I don't believe that we were given the year in which the Peacecraft twins were born, but if they are 18 years old then they were also born in MC0013/ AC 208.

Which means that Zech's son and Phobos, like many other Gundam-verse characters (if not of the whole sunrise universes) are

Spoiler for just in case:

pedophiles, and no character bats an eye when they see a pedophile, or at least none has done it in Universal Century
