Cheese3 Posted April 24 Posted April 24 My ex-girlfriend and I used to have a ceramic dish ware company. We made cups, plates, bowls.etc. And sold them. One year she made me macross ceramic platters,bowls , and cups for my b-day!
inphy Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Michael MJD was testing an old Windows CE Netbook, and it came with that picture. So unexpected.
AngelBird4 Posted June 9 Posted June 9 Finally got a very nice copy for about 15 USD. It's a fun read, and the inspiration is well-known, but I haven't seen folks say much or showcase one on their M shelves or as in my case, on the Macross bookcase.
Shawn Posted June 10 Posted June 10 This is one of the deepest 'cuts' from the "Macross Album" in recent times lol
AngelBird4 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 I'm guessing that there are some who still don't know the rest of the poem...
AngelBird4 Posted June 10 Posted June 10 Why was this moved...? How does this thread make sense for it?
treatment Posted June 28 Posted June 28 (edited) here's the new McD-jpn nostalgia-bait ad using at least three beloved 80's anime series... https://x.com/McDonaldsJapan/status/1938416994446958647 web-translated: here's the direct link to the video if you prefer... edit: apparently coz it's the 100th anniversary of the Showa era in Japan this year...

Froy Posted August 3 Posted August 3 At 4:39. I don't follow the channel so I don't really know if the dude is into macross too

Devil 505 Posted August 13 Posted August 13 On 3/17/2025 at 10:41 PM, JB0 said: This is actually REALLY WEIRD, given the ASS-1 crashes before the X-35's first flight, and Space War 1 ends before the F-35 enters service IRL. The sudden introduction of overtechnology should've flipped the table on the entire Joint Strike Fighter program, with everyone involved heading back to the drawing board with their suddenly-obsolete designs. The idea of the F-35 actually being greenlit kinda strains credulity. Am I crazy, or did the VF-4 used to be the Lightning II? The F-22 had the provisional name "Lightning II" before they settled on "Raptor," hence the name of Novalogic's PC flight sim for the F-22, F-22 Lightning II. Speaking of which, the third game in the series, F-22 Lightning 3, has a Macross reference, as "Skull Squadron" is the name of an allied F-14 squadron in the game.

The F-22 does get in just under the wire.

Knight26 Posted August 15 Posted August 15 So, I may have snuck a Macross-7 reference into my next book.
Devil 505 Posted August 17 Posted August 17 As I was looking for some fanart of Mylene to honor her VA, I wasn't expecting a parody featuring Umamusume characters.
danth Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I was searching for pictures of the Cosmo Tiger when this unexpectedly popped up: https://ourstarblazers.com/vault/models1115tf/

What does this have to do with Macross in the weirdest places? This one lost a bit of its context when I got merged into the thread. It was originally a standalone post. IIRC @Swann was comparing it to the cover of the KISS album Dynasty? Not quite a weirdest places reference but more a weird reference in Macross.

Originally Swann had made the comment that Global looked a bit like Tony Iommi. And somehow part of my reply post seems to have gone missing since I pointed out that it was the mustache and I had attached a pic of him before he did the added chin hair. it all probably would’ve made much better sense if things were attached and in full, but they seem to have come in kinda choppy. That and being a Metalhead would help as well

Shawn Posted September 6 Posted September 6 Noticed the Macross is in the Star Trek Hive comic....you cannot tell me that is not the silhouette of the dyrl sdf-1 with armd! 😛
Seto Kaiba Posted September 6 Posted September 6 Oh, it 100% is... it's the ventral view from this line art. It's really obvious they tried to cover up the tracing/photoshopping by smudging out the details of the Macross's ventral engines and the gap between the main engines.

Guess Titan Comics and HG aren't the only ones who can rip off artwork...

Traced artwork is pretty darn common in western comics. Most of the ships in those panels are obviously traced, even the Federation starships. Spoiler For instance, the Luna-class ship in that first panel is traced from the cover of the novel Absent Enemies and flipped horizontally. The Intrepid-class is traced from one of the most reused establishing shots in Voyager, and the Sovereign-class is traced from a still of the Enterprise-E over Earth in Star Trek: First Contact.

Seto Kaiba Posted September 20 Posted September 20 DanDaDan episode 24 has a bunch of different mecha anime references all crammed together thanks to the focus character being a sci-fi fan who uses nanomachines to create his own giant robot to fight the supernatural monster of the week. The visual design references a lot of Ultraman, GoLion, and Gundam with the giant robot Buddha having five cockpits and what are very obviously fin funnels. Some of his Called Attacks reference other mecha anime including Macross, like his Daedalus Attack at about 8 minutes in. (He even does Dai-Guard's infamously awful rocket punch.)
