UN Spacy Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 Who drew the art for macross? I love the artwork pasted on the artbooks, Macross 7 Trash covers, DVD covers, and eyecatches on the PS2 game. Where can i find online scans of his stuff? Character designs for SDF:M, DYRL, and M7 were handled by Haruhiko Mikimoto. I'm not sure if that's what you were looking for. :dunno: I forgot who handled the designs for MII, M+, and M0.
wolfx Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 If he's the same dude that did those "pastel" looking art work which we see in almost all macross related art (non-mecha) then yeah.....

Those aren't pastels....they're watercolor/acrylic paintings. And he did the character designs for SDF, DYRL?, II, 7 (and D7). http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/art_cellworks.htm http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/...lustrations.htm http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/art_roman.htm Character designs for M+ were done by MASAYUKI.

Gubaba Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Is there any consensus as to what the Zolans are? Are they mutated humans, or are they another race uplifted by the Proroculture, or what?
azrael Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Is there any consensus as to what the Zolans are? Are they mutated humans, or are they another race uplifted by the Proroculture, or what? Just another race. Just as humans came from monkeys, Zolans came from marsupials.

KingNor Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 is Misa Japanise? i'd always thought she was White and from the U.S.
JB0 Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 is Misa Japanise? i'd always thought she was White and from the U.S. According to the Compendium(macross.anime.net), she's japanese.
wolfx Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 She DOES have a jap name after all. Misa Hayase. Unless you were thinking Lisa Hayes? Shame on you.
JB0 Posted July 12, 2004 Posted July 12, 2004 She DOES have a jap name after all. Misa Hayase. Unless you were thinking Lisa Hayes? Shame on you. To be fair, that's one where the Rawbooteck name IS quite similar to the Macross name. Well, Misa/Lisa, anyways. Hayase/Hayes is more of a stretch. But it's not totally out of nowhere like Rick Hunter.

Zero Enna Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 Anyona have some info about Milky Dolls? I have only found artworks and something like they're spirita specialist.
Skull Leader Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 All I know is that they were the rock band you set out to save at the end of "Macross: Digital Mission VFX"
marx Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I got a newb questions. (slightly toy related but I still figured it belonged here, my apologies mods if I made you angry) I noticed the 1/60 scale of the yamato q-rau and the 1/60 scale of the vf-1... The pilots are much bigger in the Q-rau than the vf-1. Are the pilots in the Q-rau giants? I've read the pilots for the Q-rau are ladies, then is there a male variant of the Q-Rau, (if you could link me to a pic of the male variant I would like to see that robot) What is the difference between Miria Millia and Minimay? Is Max a guy? If so why is he piloting a Q-rau (yamato blue Q-rau), I thought Q-Rau's were only for the ladies. Last question, (sorry mods but I thought it'd be rude to start another thread in toys section just for this question) When is the Yamato Blue Q-Rau coming out? I read in July but if I'm not mistaken, it is July and no Q-Rau. Sorry for my horrible newb questions but I don't get macross or robotech where I am. I've only been able to get toys. (I love robots, especially when they transform, and unique designs like Q-Rau with the curves and no hard edges) My appologies again if my questions were too newbish
Ido Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 I noticed the 1/60 scale of the yamato q-rau and the 1/60 scale of the vf-1... The pilots are much bigger in the Q-rau than the vf-1. Are the pilots in the Q-rau giants? I've read the pilots for the Q-rau are ladies, then is there a male variant of the Q-Rau, (if you could link me to a pic of the male variant I would like to see that robot) Yes, they are Giants, the male variation of the Q-rau is the Nousjadeul-Ger http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/dyrl/nousjadeul-ger.jpg (movie) http://www.mahq.net/mecha/macross/sdfmacro...-ger-kamjin.jpg (tv series) What is the difference between Miria Millia and Minimay? Miria and Millia are the same person, she is a Meltran pilot, just change the spelling... Minmay is a famous singer in SDF Macross.
ewilen Posted July 15, 2004 Posted July 15, 2004 (edited) Minor quibble: the Nousjadeul-Ger isn't a variant of the Q-Rau as such--it's a completely different mecha. But both are forms of powered armor, with the Q-Rau only used by females and the N-Ger by males. Is Max a guy? If so why is he piloting a Q-rau (yamato blue Q-rau), I thought Q-Rau's were only for the ladies. Max is the exception to the rule. The reason he gets to pilot a Q-Rau is that, in the movie version of the original Macross story, he's a human who boards a ship crewed by female giants, teams up with them, and gets "macronized". Official info on the two mecha in question (mahq.net is good in my opinion, but contains some errors): http://macross.anime.net/mecha/zentradi/ae..._ger/index.html http://macross.anime.net/mecha/zentradi/ae...eadluunRau.html Also, not to muddy the waters, but while the Q-Rau is explicitly described as a "female division" suit, the other Zentradi (giant) mecha aren't explicitly described as male-only. While the movie version shows the male and female giants as having completely different equipment, in the TV version of Macross, male and female Zentradi are on the same side and have the same types of star ships. But we never see a male Zentradi pilot a Q-Rau, nor do we ever see a female Zentradi pilot a Nousjadeul-Ger. We do see a female pilot a Glaug at one point, although that may have been a special circumstance. Edited July 15, 2004 by ewilen
azrael Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Anyona have some info about Milky Dolls? I have only found artworks and something like they're spirita specialist. Spiritia Specialists.....no. Idol pop group, yes. http://www.anime.net/macross/production/so...gitalMissionVFX http://www.anime.net/macross/story/chronol...2040/index.html When is the Yamato Blue Q-Rau coming out? I read in July but if I'm not mistaken, it is July and no Q-Rau. Yes, July release. It's only July 15th. We still half the month left. Patience my young padawan. You may start bitching on August 1st.
marx Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 Okay, then that brings up another newb question. See, I don't understand the relationship between the dyrl and the tv series. Are they both a retelling of the same story? Or is there progression made from one to the other. Dyrl came after the TV series right? Cause Dyrl came in 1984 and TV series 1982 if I'm not mistaken. Along time ago I think I watched two episodes of macross expecting transforming robots, but those two episodes I watched didn't have hardly any action at all. Is the tv series slow, getting to the cream filling? (robot battles) I bought the dyrl dvd from a friend I should get it in a few days. Maybe that'll fill in most of my other newbish questions.
motley Posted July 16, 2004 Posted July 16, 2004 (edited) DYRL is a movie re-telling of the original SDF tv series. in the canon, its position varies. since its production values were much higher, DYRL looks much better than the TV show, and subsequently the DYRL mecha designs are generally used for the later shows. DYRL is sometimes rationalized as a movie within the series, as there are references to a movie of the same name in Macross 7, but i think we've come to the conclusion that its basically just an alternate re-telling of the SDF macross tv series, and Kawamori, the creator, has stated that neither DYRL or the tv series is the "true" story, that it lies somewhere in between. mostly DYRL is used canonically for visual design elements, with SDF macross TV used for the story. edit, grammar Edited July 17, 2004 by motley

mooseydoom Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 What does the Y stand for in the YF models? I understand that the VF is Variable Fighter. Y is used for the prototypes, but what exactally is YF an abbreviation for? (I searched google and the anime.com/macross pages already) Thanks.
zeo-mare Posted July 18, 2004 Posted July 18, 2004 people asked about the YF and what the letters stand for awhile back, but we never got a clear ansewer on it, i am still waiting myself.
Boxer Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 I think the YF designator is usually for test aircraft.
wolfx Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 Its just a designation for an experimental/prototype fighter. Real world designation even.
Pat Payne Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 (edited) Its just a designation for an experimental/prototype fighter. Real world designation even. Prototype/evaluation only. YF-22 was both the "Omega-one" prototype fighter, as well as the evaluation version of the real-world (late and unlamented) Lockheed F-22 Raptor/Lightning III, for instance. "X" (eXperimental)-designated aircraft are craft which are made not for actual production but as testbeds to test designs or technology. Edited July 19, 2004 by Pat Payne
Gui Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 Passing on RT.com, I found this but there's no mention of it in the Compendium and the Nanashi's Information Group website is currently unavailable... I couldn't even find any mention of it into the Shoji Kawamori's Macross Design Works book. Does anyone have infos about this particular type of VF or is it some anime error? Thanks in advance

UN Spacy Posted July 19, 2004 Posted July 19, 2004 WHAT is the name of that song in DYRL that's played during the scene right after Hikaru slaps Minmay. It's a mostly piano........

Druna Skass Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 What happend to Alaska Base after the last fight. Did it become some memorial, just another ruin for adventure seekers to go through, did it blow up?
azrael Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 What happend to Alaska Base after the last fight. Did it become some memorial, just another ruin for adventure seekers to go through, did it blow up? We don't know. Most likely, it was salvaged but there wasn't much story on the base afterwards.
UN Spacy Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 Correct me if I'm wrong but what happens to the pilot's seat when going from Fighter to Battroid Mode? I know the seat rotates 90 degrees upward. BUT does it also move INTO the chest area? I was watching DYRL last night and was a bit curious. When Kamijin attacks Focker's VF-1S I always thought that Focker was seated in the chest area. For example. 1. When Kamijin punches the chest area (air brake) we see Focker's console being smashed inwards. BUT 2. When Kamijin rips off the blast shield Focker is clearly seen behind it. What's the deal? Is he supposed to be in the chest or cockpit during Battroid Mode? Was this an animation mistake? Am I thinking too much about this?
geecie30 Posted July 22, 2004 Posted July 22, 2004 (edited) probably a transition,in battroid pilots go to the head in an elevator almost instantly through a super magnet tube Edited July 22, 2004 by geecie30
