Gerli Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 I cannot stop laughing!! You're a true Macross obsessive to have made that analogy. I salute you I almost wrote about the gerwalk mode in the photo but... nah.
Jefferson Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 In the latest Gundam Ace, it's written "Macross the Sky" instead of "Across the Sky". The mangaka noticed it. https://twitter.com/hiyon_k/status/317271746069811201

antibiotictab Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 - Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kouen Mae Hashutsujo Others were released in a couple of years, but only that one had started from late 70s. When it started on Weekly Shonen Jump, of course, I thought its title was too long, strange and funny. But we have got used to it. Without it, the comics/ light novels/ animes which have long names may not exist so easily.
antibiotictab Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Hello from Makuhari Messe. I met Save there by chance.
Tochiro Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Nice! I didnt realisethe truck was set up like that. I'd be there but I'm editting a podcast ;-)
Shaorin Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) Name of that game? It's a custom skin? -nope, standard skin. based on the similar skin/pattern found in the 1989 SEGA GENESIS game "HERZOG ZWEI" Edited March 31, 2013 by Shaorin
antibiotictab Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 gdgd Fairies did it again. So surreal that hard to understand... What the...? They did this thing before...
d3v Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 (edited) Seen in the sky when I was at the beach over the Easter weekend. A near perfect "dino-bird" cloud. Not as detailed as the original from Plus, but it's close enough for something mother nature did. Edited April 2, 2013 by d3v
Repiv_Onex Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 -nope, standard skin. based on the similar skin/pattern found in the 1989 SEGA GENESIS game "HERZOG ZWEI" Omg~ have you played the game? I'm a big big fan of the Genesis Herzog. I'm not aware of this game. The Wiki says it is inspired by Herzog, but how similar are they? Are they very identical? One of the best 2P game on Genesis. Missed that childhood friend who often come my house and played with me.

Dobber Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Never looked in this thread before so sorry if was already mentioned. I'm watching the movie Arthur Christmas with my kids ATM, and during the beginning Christmas delivery sequence when the one Elf is jumping through the kids room that has all the noisy toys you can see a VF-1S toy lying on its back on the floor.

the white drew carey Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) It seems that the infamous 100% Pure Macross logo does not meet the standards set my back to be put on a personalized debit card. Don't know why...I'm thinking of trying the Hatchling Valk image next. Edited April 5, 2013 by the white drew carey
Gerli Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) There is a reference to Macross mecha in "Ready Player One", I'm still reading it so no spoiler please Edit: Sopilers ahead. Finished it... weird... the first time the main character sees a bunch of robots he immediately recognized them as Macross mechs, but in the end of the books he says "Robotech Robots" so... the Author is a Troll, right?

raptormesh Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Found this on the Fandom Base page on the Cheezburger sites. http://cheezburger.com/6819676928 Sorry to bring up such an old post but...I need an entire line of it. What if...work with me here, what if Arcadia's switching to Plushies???
frothymug Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) So, I was visiting the Udvar-Hazy Center (Air and Space Museum Annex) after kicking ass at a rocketry competition in central Virginia, and I came upon this case display: They had these in there as part of the Transformers exhibit. I guess they put it in there because there was a scene in one of the movies that takes place in the museum... I haven't seen it, though. On the left is the transformable SR-71 toy. Note on the card that it does give credit to Japanese toymakers. Edited April 9, 2013 by frothymug

antibiotictab Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 "Vajras." I found them in Shinjuku. Vajra is originally the tool's name Buddhist priests use in the ceremonies, and also means "Diamond."
Gubaba Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Vajra is originally the tool's name Buddhist priests use in the ceremonies, and also means "Diamond." "Vajra" also means "Basara." http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/十二神将
antibiotictab Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) "Vajra" also means "Basara." http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/十二神将 But according to it, Vajra doesn't have so much relation with the word "basara." Basara reminds me of basara zamurais like Sasaki Douyo in Taiheiki and Maeda Keiji in the Sengoku era. Are there any Rekijos here? They could answer it in detail.

I know they both are different interpretations of the same sanskrit word, though I think 婆娑羅 may be the most common kanji for "basara". The meaning of the words have diverged throughout history. 「婆娑羅など幾つかの漢字表記があり、梵語（サンスクリット語）で「vajra = 金剛石（ダイヤモンド）」を意味するが、意味の転訛は不明であるとされる。」 http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%B0%E3%81%95%E3%82%89

The word "Vajra" came from the ancient Indian language, by way of ancient China, to Japan. The tools are used by Shingon-shu Buddhist priests. Kuukai (Koubou-Daishi) brought it from China to Japan about 1,200 years ago? Hmmmmm, I have no idea. Even Wikipedia doesn't tell it in detail. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%87%91%E5%89%9B%E6%9D%B5
sketchley Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Kobo Daishi threw it from China and it landed in the center of Mount Koya - which just happens to be shaped in a lotus blossom - and the Vajra landed right in the middle of it... ... or so the story goes.

Yes, Kongobuji (金剛峯寺). Kongo (金剛)＝Vajra＝Diamond. Bu (峯)＝summit. And lotus is the symbol of Buddhism. I have been to Kawasaki-Daishi Temple for Yakuyoke(厄除け). Koubou-Daishi appears in a proverb. "Even Koubou sometimes made a mistake in writing" ≒ "Even Homer sometimes nods."
Marzan Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 ^ Why am I not surprised that people who build robots in real life would appreciate Macross Frontier OST's.
antibiotictab Posted May 2, 2013 Posted May 2, 2013 At NicoNico Chokaigi. I first knew they like Madoka Magica... In Akibabara yesterday. The bus was actually running.
ron5864 Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Would be awesome if they ran that Sheryl Nome ad on the side of the San Francisco cable car.
Gunbuster Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 I'm not sure if this was posted, but it looks like someone sneaked a VF 1/55 in the movie (this was during the elves invasion at the beginning of the film)
