Mari-Ja has posted before here. They are posting from Japan and seems to inform people of some Macross related news items. All their English text seems to come from a Translator Program. Kinda hard to figure out what they want this time. My guess is they want people to sign a petition for them to make more Macross 7.

Plus he's a fan of Eddie Munster's hairdo.

Remember to include shipping in with that price.

Thank you, First time I ever saw a picture with someone wearing one. Does look huge and on your head and it looks in scale to the line art. Remember underneath that helmet your suppose be able to keep all your teased and moused hair without getting a major case of hat head.

I don't know. 10 years back if you saw some one wearing an anime or toy shirt you'd think major loser. Now it can be trendy. Depending on who is wearing it. For example Megan Fox wearing a Transformers shirt vs Jeff Foxworthy. I don't want to take a chance and wear one outside of a con or something.

And I want to see pictures of people wearing them with their hat size too.

Don't waste your time Spoiler: The Klingon are wearing masks. There I just saved every one 3 seconds.

First couple of times it was firm and strong after touched it. Then I didn't touch it for a year. Now the thing just flops around. Wait what are we talking about again?

I heard it includes one night with the Macross singer of your choice.

If only I had painting skill I would get one. After I'm through with it would be worth $5.

I think I ran into a problem. Currently playing through Macross F. Even through I did like the series that much it is very fun piloting the mecha and listening to the music. I just finished that multi-stage level which you help Alto rescue Luca. After that level I can't get the next one to start. I can select it. Hit the Circle but it doesn't active.

Yeah it is a horroble photoshop picture.

Man Gerpununici (sp?) was easiest to beat.

How much did it cost us $400?

I think he could be using "Mecha" in place of "everything else" but Moe Driven Character stuff doesn't sell. You could compare it to US Television. I create a new hit show about Hot Sexy Doctors who talk to Ghosts at crime scenes. Every episode ends with singing contest. The shows a hit! Next season there are a bunch of copy cat shows and they are a hit too. Eventually you can't get on the air without having sexy doctors, talking ghost or a talent contest in your show.

Macross Frontier, Macross TV & Macross 7 are all guilty of using recycled Mecha footage.

Ranka's Moe factor, slurmty Shery Stripper, Klan Klan lol and She-male Alpo. These characters and more are all fan service nods to fetishes. Macross F isn't an adult only series but they pandered to all the vices. They knew what they were doing. Itano comments Is likely very true. If you want your anime to be marketable you do above.

Come on Regults!

Sure there is a good reason for Sheryl to be dressed like a stripper of the time. It isn't about fan service. It just part of the story. I think that's what some actresses say about nude scenes that they do in movies. It has nothing to do with marketing the movie.

Here's a ton of cosplay. http://blog.so-net.ne.jp/_tag/t/photos/%E3...%83%AD%E3%82%B9

Funny isn't it? Almost like looking at night and day. Tends (but not all the time) to be that way with the animated episodes as well. Not to say Macross TV didn't have it's moe, girlie, fan service, etc moments but if you put them on a chart from 1-10. They would be a 2-3 and Macross Frontier would Rank 9-10. Macross Frontier is kinda like Macross 7. Somewhere in there is story. You just got suffer through it and ignore either Basara or that fetish fan service. I didn't get Alpo's appeal either. Seems total self absorb. He's got two girls (and Michael in fan manga) interested in him but he barely notices it. If he didn't want them he could be a friend and pass them on to Luca. In the end he saves the day but says "Screw everyone I'm gonna fly under a real sky!" He bitches about how everyone think he's a girl but that doesn't stop him wearing his hair long with a ribbon in it like a girl. What do real pretty boys do when they want to look more manly? They cut their hair short and grow a sad looking mustache. If Alpo did that he wouldn't look pretty anymore. Which I guess was the only thing going for him.

So that's what they did with all the extra Roy pilot figures.

Speaking of Minmay. Her Moe period was pretty short. By the time she's Miss Macross she is no longer treated as the sweet young girl but a celebrity. In DYRL she's actual 2 years older. Milia was 15 is she not? Sheryl is 17. Those characters would be closer to jail bait. Their physiques are more adult like and tend to dressed like adults ( or Sheryl 's case a stripper). Then there are characters like Ranka, Klan Klan & Mylene that are designed to look their age. You'll see them in cute outfits that make them seem even younger. Sure Minmay had their eye candy moments but you can count them on your hands. You'll need to go ten extra arms to count the moments in Frontier. Frontier just increased the scale. Now if you have it take a look at Macross Ace. I have Volume #2 with me. It contains several stories. We have Mikimoto's Macross the First. In it we see Minmay is various states of getting dressed and Hikaru's reaction. Yes that is fan service. Then there are other stories. One has Alto in a dress and Michael making moves on him. In another story every one is taking a hot bath. When they are dressed it is close up boobs or butt. This is pretty good illustration of the difference & amount of fan service between the two. Also difference in the type of stories. Don't forget that Sheryl figure based on the image of her. You know the one I'm talking about "Rise up!" We saw Minmay's breasts but she never was about to mount a gold bullet shaped dildo. I'm sure eventually there will be one of Ranka holding a large carrot with two hands, pretending it is a microphone. Ranka of course will be dressed like little bow peep.
