polidread Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 Macross DYRL is in Bamboo Blade: Episode 7. Tamaki's kendo sensei gives her a laser disc of Macross DYRL as a gift. This was the last anime I expect to see Macross to me shown in. "Maguross Aji Oboete Imasu Ka" and the "Valkyrie" is shaped like a tuna fish hahaha!

s001 Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Hehehe. This is getting weirder and weirder... cool!
Seanzilla Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Andrew Zimmern of the Travel Channel, while in Japan covered Cosplay, and every now and then you will see Sheryl and Ranka cosplayers. http://www.travelchannel.com/TV_Shows/Bizarre_Foods/Video/Explore_Cosplay_In_Tokyo
UN Spacy Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Speaking of Sheryl and Ranka cosplayers...watch this. Life In A Day "Anime Otaku in Tokyo" (english subtitle) Their travels start around the four minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAtmtKnoCGM

Life In A Day "Anime Otaku in Tokyo" (english subtitle) Their travels start around the four minute mark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAtmtKnoCGM Yeah i just checked that out after it was linked on another forum. Not really the weirdest place to see something Macross related, though still a fun watch.
Einherjar Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I'm in Seattle this weekend, and I saw this when I went to the Science Fiction Museum. Here's a closer image.
sketchley Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Odd. Of all the pictures that they would use, they used that one. One would think that they would have used a character from one of the larger/more popular series... I can understand why it's not SDFM or DYRL. But why not M7 or MF?
shiroth Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Wow that is rather strange. Did you ask anyone about it Einherjar?
Gubaba Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Here's a closer image. Zeta Plus, E.T., Tron, and Komilia... Nope, nothing strange about that. Why are you puzzled about it?
azrael Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Didn't know Zeta Plus and Komilia appeared in 1977-1984....

The exhibit focused more on Western science fiction over the years. I think anime just got a nod because it only became widespread relatively recently. Unfortunately, whoever made the exhibit probably took a random bunch of sci-fi anime to display there. For example, there were models of a mech from Five Star Stories and Char's Zaku and Sazabi from Gundam, but not the first Gundam itself. http://www.empsfm.org/index.asp '> http://www.empsfm.org/index.asp Think of it this way, if there was something more familiar/extravagant from Macross, a certain U.S. company would be all drama queen about it.
Beltane70 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I was actually pretty happy to see the main characters of Appleseed on there!
eugimon Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Friends wedding cake was a giant sdf-1 with two cf vf-1a doing the honor guard for a swooping vf-1d virgin road.
shiroth Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Friends wedding cake was a giant sdf-1 with two cf vf-1a doing the honor guard for a swooping vf-1d virgin road. We need pictures!
shiroth Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 ^Epic cake is epic. Shame the whole wedding wasn't Macross themed.
miked01 Posted October 16, 2010 Posted October 16, 2010 Not exactly Macross but it did remind me of Macross Zero.
Lobizon Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Friends wedding cake was a giant sdf-1 with two cf vf-1a doing the honor guard for a swooping vf-1d virgin road. Super-Dimensional Wedding Cake Macross
shiroth Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Super-Dimensional Wedding Cake Macross I could never eat such an epic piece. Seriously. Now if it was covered in dark chocolate, then maybe. Edited October 18, 2010 by shiroth
Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 My brother was recently house shopping and in one of the houses that him and his wife loved (which they are now purchasing) the owner had various 1/60 vf-1 yamato's posed around the house and an unboxed 1/48 VF-1. When my brother put in an offer on the the house I had him ask for the valkyries to be included but the owner (who is already in Hong Kong) wouldn't sell because they are too precious to him.......I guess I can't blame him
Beltane70 Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XIV and happened to see a character named Hikaru Ichijyo and Ranka Alto. Does that count?
shiroth Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) 4:30 Going by the expressions on some of the audience members, they have no idea what it is. Edited October 28, 2010 by shiroth
frothymug Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 At least Metzen did... All those other nerds don't matter to me
Freiflug88 Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Going by the expressions on some of the audience members, they have no idea what it is. Agreed. Also am I the only one thinks it probably not just be a mere coindence that the next slide they used was of Tobey Maquire as Spiderman?
Global Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Looks a lot like a Ranka costume on the Office. The website I found this picture says its Katy Perry.
Zor Primus Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) Saw this sushi bar advertisement this past weekend in a parking garage on South Beach...looks like Minmei moonlights Nyan Nyan somewhere on SoBe. Edited November 23, 2010 by Zor Primus
shiroth Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 ^Just your typical female anime character in a china dress. She does look a little bit like Minmay though.
