Macross in the weirdest places

[Keith]

As soon as that game get's marked down, I'm so downloading it on my Vita.

You should know the new manager at my job has got the weirdest last name, it is Zola I'll let you run with that one

What about his ears?

[Marzan]

Not that uncommon in Southern Europe. From the top of my head I can think of the french writer Emile Zola and the italian foootballer (that's soccer for our Northamerican friends) Gianfranco Zola who was a star for both Napoli and Chelsea back in the 90's.

For the second time, I heard Macross background music on Late Night with David Letterman.

[Shaorin]

And so they said to me, "Hey, isn't that a Macross or Robotech thing?" Although the one guy pronounced it May-cross...

funny... way back in my pre-internet days of MACROSS fandom, i had a local, privately-owned hobby shop whose owner i was chummy with.

i often scavenged his supplier catalogs in desperate search for MACROSS kits, and he was always referring to it as "MAY-CROSS" in his conversations with me about it.

for whatever reason, i don't recall ever bothering to correct him, despite my knowing better...

I wonder if I can talk about Itasha and cosplay here?

I went to NicoNico Super Meeting in Makuhari.

There were some Macross-related Itasha and cosplayers.

"Itasha" is the cars Anime characters are printed on. Like this.

There were 2 Sheryl cars there.

#1

#2

Sheryl was there.

And cosplayers were gathering. The Rankas and Sheryls brigade. lol

About as normal as anymone elses though his goatee is like that gut who provided the VF-19P to Basara.

[Kelsain]

I received a large flat rate box packed with random scifi toys today. I don't know who it's from.

Dinosaurs, airplanes, nazis, spaceships & Kakizaki?

They should remove the image of the Hummer and have an angry and fully armed Ozma Lee on instead.

Came across this monstrosity in the basement of Akiba Cultural Center. What have you done to that valk!?!?!?!

[Beltane70]

Is that the Griffin Labor's torso I see on that poor thing?

I wonder if Alto will be driving that Sheryl Custom Honda S2000.

[Marzan]

Naah. He'll be driving the Sheryl Custom Alfa Romeo 156. Members of SMS like their Italian cars

Alto is still a high school student, and dosen't drive if Frontier is based on Japanese culture.

And Galaxy is apparently based on the USA.

Alto's car can be Suzuki. And Brera will drive Alfa Romeo.

Because both "Alto" and "Brera" are cars' names. "Suzuki Alto" and "Alfa Romeo Brera".

In Nyan-Cli movies, Sheryl drove her Ferrari California. From 04:04.

She drove stick. Oh, not an automatic transmission car.

but half of frontier's city section is San Fancisco.

[antibiotictab]

but half of frontier's city section is San Fancisco.

Yes. And LA (e.g. Griffith Observatory).

But Sheryl said "no slums" in Frontier in ep5. No poor guys and no street gangs in the US cities? Super ideal.

The real-life Kaitaku Juuki in the Itsuwarino Utahime movie.

[UN Spacy]

Is this a Fire Bomber cover band or something?

[David Hingtgen]

At least they have good taste in which songs they do. Big points for doing "Heart and Soul".

[Marzan]

I love the guy in the suit! Nice find.

[VF5SS]

The guy has only part of the costume on during Try Again to represent the last episode where it gets trashed.

[Tochiro]

In a word, yes. Teshima Explosion played at a Macross fan gig a couple of months back. They even made some awesome band tshirts for the occasion.

There were two main male singers - one was Basara, one was the Fire Valk. The Fire Valks costume was broken on purpose at one point as part of a skit the band did.

There were some Frontier singers, a Minmay singer, and best of all a Macross Plus cover band who had formed for that one night only. They were unbelievably awesome - considering that Plus music was never really made to be performed live in some ways they surpassed the original imo. And their basist utterly ROCKED!

Edit: Camera mostly cut me off but managed to find my hands and occasionally bobbing nose, lol.

I'm speechless. That Macross Plus cover band is the most awesome thing I've heard in ages. They're fantastic! I never expected to see a vid of something 'A Sai En' performed live. And the way they nail songs like 'Idol Talk'and 'Torch Song' is uncanny.

Awesome really.

I was at my local comic book shop today, looked through a few books before making my selection, when picked up a copy of X-men #29 on page two, three, or four (should have gotten that too) featured the X-men battling two large robots. One of the robots though it head and parts of its body were different the arms resemble much closer to the Defenders double barrel gun arms. Looks like there is a Macross fan at Marvel.

[ruskiiVFaussie]

Awesome.

My 4 month old son, I was lucky to have my phone near me. Living up to his name heh!

It's hard to tell if your kid is going for the Isamu hand pose or is mimmicking the 1/48 chicken hands but either way it's a good sign.

[EXO]

that's what happens when you sing a baby to sleep with "Voices."

Hey, "Voices", specially the a capella version, happens to work very well as a lullaby for the little ones. "Aimo" is pretty effective too...
