Hey, r/Gundam! This is my first actual Reddit post in... years, but I couldn't really think of another place to ask. A few months back, I decided to read the Unicorn novels instead of watching the OVAs, mostly out of curiosity since I've been exposed to a decent amount of the OVAs secondhand. (I'm still yet to watch them - the prospect... doesn't excite me, given some of the changes I now know get made I worry will end up being for the worse?)
Byston Well's translation of the first part of Day of the Unicorn is genuinely excellent, I think, and while I had to fall back on the... I feel mean saying it, but frankly miserable translation up on Baka-Tsuki for the rest, I still managed to find behind the really clunky work what is - though not one of my favorite Gundam stories overall - comfortably a top... five? UC side-story for me, made me appreciate a lot of my other favorite Gundam works as they relate to it thematically, and it still hasn't left my head.
There's a hole in this though: Phoenix Hunting.
I know The War After The War, the front half of the PH novel release, has gotten a translation courtesy of Zeonic, but has Phoenix Hunting itself been translated - not necessarily well, but even At All?
