6 Episode 1 "Yack Deculture Edition"  Brief description (summary??) and Macross check: 1 hand blocking the sun (that M+ scene), 2 "Listen to my song!" (homage to Basara of M7), 3. Gerwalk firing gunpod (same as Eps. 2 of SDF:M).

7 Episode 1 3 versions.  Quickie scanlation: About 3 months before the december broadcast, the preperations of the "Yakku Edition" were completed.  It was too long, and parts were cut out to make the Deculture Edition.  Also talks about the other two versions, and the changes between them.

8 Character art and description: Saotome Aruto

9 Character art and description: Ranka Rii

10 Mechanical art: VF-171 w/ descriptions of battroid, gerwalk, fighter, and the RVF-171 <<<<-*** attention Graham.  (text says that it's a custom based on the VF-171 with a giant radome.  I think it also says that it doesn't have a good fighting ability (presumably compared to the VF-171).

Of course the text is a bit more than the taste I'm scanlating herein.  There are parts that I skipped over as well (the toys, for example).
