seti88 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 GAR-ness? Also, Buccaneer as a last name? Are they implying anything, or is it an English word they thought sounded cool?

MisaForever Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Looking at the key visuals and footage to date, IMO it's obvious that the majority of girls are over 14 so I guess I don't see where this comment is coming from? Well, yes, looking at some of them you'd think that but you can never tell. I suppose I'd just like to see more adult characters in anime. Not sure why you're asking me where it's coming from, it's a preference. Why? What do you intend to do? Destroy the world. Why do you ask? Not sure if this is a serious question. Heyhey! Isn't this board PG? Yes it is. And honestly I don't know where their minds are. Can't a guy just have characters in his anime that have at least finished high school? Kaname Buccaneer 22y/o. Leader of the Walkure unit. A big sister figure to the other members. 3.jpg Thank you Kawamori. I approve of this character. And she's the leader of Walkure to boot.

renegadeleader1 Posted December 11, 2015 Author Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) GAR-ness? Also, Buccaneer as a last name? Are they implying anything, or is it an English word they thought sounded cool? Given its Macross it could be a reference to the Blackburn Buccaneer.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackburn_Buccaneer I'm also certain purple head's name is another aviation reference to this man. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Guynemer EDIT: I'm not sure about the third girl Frejya Wion. Her first name could be a reference to german WWII early warning radar, or her last name could be a reference to Indonesia's Ranai Airport international code. Could be both.

Mazinger Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Gotta say, I'm also curious about the guy. When I hear him mentioned I wonder: - "Why do they keep his identity secret?" - "Does everyone on the forums know who he is but me?" Probably more mysterious than it was ever meant to be.

Tochiro Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 The man likes his privacy and we respect that. Also, kinda off topic, let's keep this to Delta :-) Kawamori was joking about Delta last night.
