Liottel Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Here's a fun little quiz. Match the key word with a Japanese animated mecha related production. Only go look it up online after you've exhausted your cerebral capabilties. Do not read replies below until exhausting cerebral capabilities!!! OL = Obscurity Level. Asurada (OL-5) D1 (OL-9) D7 (OL-10) Ishkick (OL- Shaian (OL-9) Soyukaze (OL-3) J9 Trilogy (oL-10) Melos no Youni (OL-10) Tulcas (OL-3) Round Vernian (OL-2) Shooting Star (OL-10) Just thought this would be fun ~Liottel Quote
danth Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Tulcas sounds familiar... What's with the swastika? Quote
jenius Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 How does the Ishkick score an OL of 8? It's the only one on the list I know Quote
Sdf-1 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) I don't think that swastika is that good idea. Are you finnish? Edited April 9, 2006 by Sdf-1 Quote
Liottel Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 Well, basically anyone who's looked at the old model cataloges for that series remembers the Ishkick and the Nickick. Their names sort of become glued in your head. Plus, it's a lot more unknown than the star mecha. And even those aren't -really- well known. I'd say the reference deserves an 8. PM me if you don't understand my avatar. I don't understand many of your boobly naughty avatars either, haha. Or just go look up Hakaristi on the web. ~Liottel. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I understand your avatar, take a look at my location. Are you Finnish? You know, swastika in any form tends to have a bad karma. Quote
Dante74 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I might be a 'good luck' symbol, it's still offensive to a lot of people. Quote
Sdf-1 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I might be a 'good luck' symbol, it's still offensive to a lot of people. 389213[/snapback] It is the Finnish swastika. But the point is imho, most people relate it to something else. Quote
Ginrai Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 (edited) Asurada (OL-5) - Cyber Formula? D1 (OL-9) - no idea, hint? D7 (OL-10) - no idea, hint? Ishkick (OL- - Orguss Shaian (OL-9) - Dragon's Heaven? Soyukaze (OL-3) - Captain Tylor J9 Trilogy (oL-10) - Sasuraiger and company Melos no Youni (OL-10) - Uhm, Layzner? Tulcas (OL-3) - Dorvack Round Vernian (OL-2) - Votoms Shooting Star (OL-10) - uh... Shooting Star Gakuseiver? I'm a nerd. Edited April 9, 2006 by Ginrai Quote
Ginrai Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I'll continue the game. I'm not going to bother with obscurity level, but I guarantee you some of these are from Japanese mecha video games, manga, and even tokusatsu.

promethuem5 Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Quick stupid question.... did Dorvak have an anime, or just the models? Quote
KingNor Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I've never heard of any of those animes. I'll have to start netflixing. As for the Swastika, i know its off topic, but i think its a good thing using it for something other than nazi's. Nothing will break a symbols negative connotation faster than using it for what it was originally intended. Smart move Imho. Quote
Project Phoenix Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 Quick stupid question.... did Dorvak have an anime, or just the models? 389235[/snapback] There is a Dorvack anime with a line of kits as well. Quote

Phyrox Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I think you oughta through in some more easy ones so casual fans like myslef can at least have a bit of fun with this. I have heard of the ishkick...and that's it. And don't worry about your avatar. Don't let other's ignorance get in the way of your expression. Quote
Liottel Posted April 9, 2006 Author Posted April 9, 2006 Ginrai, you are amazing!!! And as for your questions, I had absolutely no idea. I'd have to go look it up. I'll be happy to see what other people figure out. And as for D1 and D7 hints... D1 is from an OVA, D7 is from a 75 episode show. D1 may also be spelled D 1 D-1, etc. ~Liottel (And thanks for your understanding about the symbol. It's actually still used on service medals and on the presidential flag in Finland. If we banned the use of anything that offended a bunch of people at some point in history, I don't think thered be a single thing left on earth.) Quote
Rocket Punch Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 I might be a 'good luck' symbol, it's still offensive to a lot of people. 389213[/snapback] Well that's their problem not Liottel's, isn't it? Quote
EXO Posted April 9, 2006 Posted April 9, 2006 All avatar discussions should go in the feedback section. You guys figure it out, I dont really care about the subject but discussions are being derailed by it and as long as they do I'll lock them all. No offense to anyone. wink.gif Quote
